Quick info
About The Millpool
On Hipswell Hwy in Coventry, The Millpool is an English restaurant and pub that pours hand-pulled ales alongside a British pub menu. The roast dinner comes with beef, gravy, mash and a Yorkshire pudding, and chicken tenders arrive in a Jack Daniel's sauce. A prawn and salmon salad gives the menu a lighter option, and chips come as a side, including a cheesy version with jalapeños and BBQ sauce. A private dining room gives groups their own space for celebrations and family gatherings. Dogs are welcome, so owners can bring them along. The kitchen also accommodates gluten-free dietary needs.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often return to the roast dinner, singling out the beef, rich gravy, fluffy mash and one of the biggest Yorkshire puddings. Close behind are the generous portions, with a prawn and salmon salad ordered by a whole table of five, chicken tenders in Jack Daniel's sauce served hot, and cheesy chunky chips with jalapeños and bbq sauce that the kitchen made on request. Staff draw steady praise as friendly and welcoming, and groups describe baby shower, family celebration and fourteen-person bookings handled smoothly, including reassurance about a gluten free meal for a coeliac guest. The main criticism comes from one lunch visit: the stuffed boneless chicken thighs arrived in a bowl on mash swimming in gravy, awkward to eat with a knife and fork. That reviewer also found the green tea was a teabag in a cup of hot water rather than a small teapot, and the chocolate brownie with ice cream disappointingly small. One diner mentions a two course special for under the usual price and chatting about Coventry City with the landlord.

“We recently visited The Millpool in Coventry, and it was hands down one of the best places we’ve ever been to! The entire venue was incredibly clean and tidy throughout. The hospitality was absolutely amazing—the staff were so welcoming and attentive, making us feel right at home. On top of the great service, the food was outstanding and very tasty. We had a fantastic experience and will definitely be returning!”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a baby shower here and had such a lovely experience! As you can imagine, with a big group of us it was a little bit of organised chaos, especially when it came to ordering food and drinks, but everything was handled brilliantly. A special mention has to go to Riley, who was absolutely fantastic throughout. He was so attentive, patient and helpful with all of our orders and made sure everyone had what they needed. Nothing seemed like too much trouble, despite us probably keeping him very busy! He’s a credit to the pub and really helped make the baby shower run smoothly. Great food, great service and a lovely experience overall. Thank you, to all for making it so special.”

“Lovely family celebration here today. Food was excellent and the happiest, friendliest bunch of staff I've ever come across. They made us feel so welcome and nothing was too much trouble, making sure everyone in the party had a great time. Also they were great when informed one of the party was strictly Gluten Free due to Coeliacs and went above and beyond to reassure us about how their meal woukd be prepared and served. Can't recommend highly enough. Def 5 stars and more.”

“We had a fantastic meal at The Millpool. All five of us chose the prawn and salmon salad, and it was absolutely delicious. The portions were really generous, the ingredients were fresh, and every one of us thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The Millpool is a great pub with a warm, friendly atmosphere, excellent food, and great value for money. The staff are always welcoming, making it a place we look forward to visiting. Highly recommended!”
