Reviews of The Longford Engine

A. S.

Generous portions served for Sunday roast. Nice sun trap of a beer garden literally next to the canal. Only 1 cask ale on at the time of visit, but this is a pub that has tidied up considerably since my last visit a few years ago.

M. C.

Very busy pub, but it was a match day. It was nice to sit by the side of the canal. BTW away fans aren't allowed in and there's security on the door. Top tip, don't park in the zones you're not allowed to on match day or you will get a ticket (see pictures).

C. P.

I was in the engine before going 2 watch rammstein at cbs arena.beer was good and reasonably priced.i have 2 give a big shout out 2 bar staff & gaffe as there were a lot of metal fans in & they turned the juke box up loud 4 us.thank u

A. P.

Nice pub no real ale on the day I was their

p.

Really pleasant visit. Attended prior to a football match at Coventry City FC. Contrary to the comments below away fans are permitted unless the pub is given advice from the police not to, such as local rivals, the same as the use of plastic cups. My advice is to call the pub in advance and check. The pub was very busy on my visit and it was four deep at the bar. They could have done with extra staff and a policy in place, say 4 drinks max per customer? Some customers were selfishly orderly 8-10 (I kid you not!!) pints EACH. This meant other customers had to wait and some, understandably, just left as the wait time was just too much. That said, I did manage to get served and we sat out in the pleasant garden by the canal. Really friendly atmosphere. We returned after the game and the pub put a band on. The return visit was much calmer and we managed to get a seat inside. Again, home and away fans together and no issues whatsoever. Re parking, the pub has 15 spaces for customers on a first come, first served basis. Don’t park in surrounding streets as many returned to £60 tickets as the place is in a controlled parking zone, issued by the council. If you don’t fancy, or can’t get, official parking, I would suggest the non official car park opposite Novotel on Wilsons Lane. Always spaces and cheap prices too. It’s only a 10 min walk to the Longford engine too!

Away football supporters pub. Has two handpumps for real ale but not in use for a midweek visit for Blackpool match. Good 10 minute walk to Ricoh arena for footie match. Great staff working under difficult circumstances.

B. B.

Super nice Bar man! I ordert sparkling water and he didnt charge it:-) the food was also nice! Great real location

J. S.

Nice location by the cut. Friendly bar staff and welcoming of away football fans. No Cask Ale on during my visit and the pump clip was quickly turned around to show this

R. W.

Nice pub, Good beer

R. K.

welcoming staff, nice food very reasonably priced, always pour a good pint and vast majority of customers friendly. always very clean and never experienced any trouble. Also a spacious decking running along canal which is nice in summer.

C. /. K. N.

1st time out since lockdown. Didn't dissapoint. Good band. Great atmosphere. Few years since been down but will definitely return for more good music.

L. M.

Great pub near the Ricoh Arena. Friendly staff, good beer and lovely beer garden beside the canal. They show live sport on the TVs. The beer prices were very reasonable. It had a great atmosphere and was busy with rugby fans before and after the match. Highly recommended!

D. W.

Lovely old fashioned home cooked food and plenty of it. Good price and you won't be going hungry afterwards, service with a smile.....

S. C.

The Longford Engine is one of the old pubs of Coventry with the canal flowing immediately behind it. I visit this establishment every Tuesday night to take part in a weekly quiz night. The surroundings are very pleasant and the bar staff are friendly. Like most pubs these days the attendance is quite low although weekends may be busier as I believe they sometimes have live music. I have also visited this pub for a meal in the past when I found a good choice of food at a reasonable price and of good quality. A good pub to visit.

S. H.

Seen it busier In Times gone by so only 4 stars but the staff try and get 5 stars and alongside a canal which I like and usually good food . Truck park 2 minutes away so perfect for me 👍

D. H.

Popped in on Sunday for something to eat. Lovely home cooked food. Great service. The gentlemen behind the bar was extremely pleasant and was always there on hand to help and asssit if we needed anything. Will defiantly come back to try more of the menu.

N. J.

Got to the pub about 4.30 on a Sunday. First impressions not great, it was quite noisy with kids running around. However, by the time i had finished my drink it had quietened down, most of the kids had left and it became fairly decent and i stayed for a couple more drinks. Basically its a decent place if you time it right

h. h.

Seen live music, local band the smashed vinyls, just great as it should be, loud and people, just havin it!!!! Good bar service to boot 👍🍻

R. M.

Decent away pub for games at Coventry City. Right next to the canal with TV in beer garden.

D. S.

Dropped off some sound gear here for a gig. Bar staff seemed decent people and the pub nice and clean. Right by the canal too

J. B.

Drinks advertised £2:60 ,charged away fans £4:00 , when asked they said deal not available weekends

A. B.

(Translated) Such a great experience from a real English Pub... pleasant service, you pay immediately, the manager even posed for me with the legendary bell 🔔, which announces the last beer 15 minutes before closing... A wide selection of beers 🍻, but I wasn't impressed by Guinness, it was rather fine curling beer 🥌... That's the name of the restaurant, great guests and watching football together, beautiful interiors and outdoor seating by the canal where the boats are moored, I recommend visiting... They don't cook in the evening anymore, so I can't judge (Original) Tak prima zážitek z pravého Anglického Pubu... příjemná obsluha, platí se ihned, vedoucí mi dokonce zapózovala s legendárním zvonen 🔔, který ohlásí poslední pivo 15 min před zavřením... Široký výběr piv 🍻, ovšem Guinnes mě neuchvátil, spíš prima bylo pivo Curling 🥌... Opravu se tak jmenuje, prima hosté a společné sledování fotbalu, krásné interiéry i venkovní sezení u kanálu, kde kotví loďky, doporučuji navštívit... Večer už se tedy nevaří, takže nemůžu posoudit
