Under the same management as the award-winning Old Windmill pub in Coventry City Centre. This popular 17th Century pub in the heart of Allesley Village is popular with locals and visitors alike. The single bar area has an adjacent section with flat screen TV for sporting events. Also, it has a separate lounge/dining room and tucked away by the back door you will find a tiny snug. Just outside to the rear is a small patio area and a garden area beyond the car park. Evidence of the long-gone Rainbow brewery can still be seen on the outside of the old stable block. Please note car access is narrow both on entry and exit. Also both the front and rear entrances to the pub involve steps.
