The Hearsall Inn, Chapel Fields, Coventry

A green painted Georgian cottage styled pub with patio area, adjoining the Coombe Abbey pub. In the GBG 2010. The interior has two rooms, either side of a central corridor, with the bar room to the left, in mainly white, with some green and salmon and a lounge to the right, which is in green. We went into the bar, where the actual serving bar is and where the sport was on the TV and there was no background music. The place is adorned with Guinness posters, plates and trophies and there is a dart board. The cobs were fine for a quid. The service was fine and the place was pretty packed, certainly in the bar. Beer; tap stuff including Courage MILD, with Brew XI, Church End’s What the Fox is Hat, a decent Goat’s Milk and an excellent Gravedigger’s MILD on handpull. Another great Coventry real ale pub, with perhaps the best Church End Brewery beer I have had. Well worth a visit. I will be back.

Traditional Irish bask street local, in an area of historic local pubs. Lots of green paint everywhere and tributes to Guiness and the lack, but not in a tacky theme way. Next door to Basic inside, there is also a front terrace on the street, though used as a smoking area as well. Beautiful flower baskets outside compliment the pub very well. 3 real ales, including a local one, Church End Goats Milk on my visit. Quality was good enough A pleasent pub, if not too friendly
