out of 3700 reviews

Why is The Flying Standard - JD Wetherspoon good for fans?

A central, city-centre JD Wetherspoon that opens early for breakfast and serves food all day, making it a reliable pre-match meet for early kick-offs. It’s around 1 km from Coventry rail station, so away supporters coming by train can gather here before heading to the Coventry Building Society Arena. Crucially, Cardiff City’s official away-day guide specifically advises visiting supporters to use The Flying Standard, indicating it welcomes away fans on matchdays. The venue is also listed by the city-centre guide as showing major sporting events on terrestrial TV, adding to its pre-match appeal, even if premium sports channels aren’t advertised.

Visited while staying nearby in Coventry. What a magnificent looking Spoons this is. In glorious sun it looked even better. It was quiet as it was relatively early so got a table in the window. Ordered our breki and it arrived quite quickly. Delicious as always. It is situated near the shops and close to the bus stops and nearby bus station. Plenty of areas and also a little upstairs bar and seating area. I can see this getting very busy of an evening. A lovely spoons with lots of history.

This was a fantastic pub for drinking, carrying the industrial history of Coventry over with its decor! This includes the photos of the motor industry's cars and the area with an old clock, counter is well-presented itself. I had a nice pint of Stowford Press, appreciating the outside seating!

This centrally located pub has a very cool outside, with standard Wetherspoons interior. It felt quieter on midday Sunday than other locations we've visited, and has both downstairs and upstairs seating. Food and drinks came out quickly. Facilities: Toilets are clean, but quite a lot of stairs to get to the woman's loo (beyond where the men's was located).

So earlier this afternoon I visited this spoons with a friend as we fancied some drinks. We got our drinks and were sipping on them when I realized there was a fly that had entered my drink. I was absolutely shocked and took this to the bartender, they were shocked too and called for the manager. I had about half of my drink left when I brought this issue up and there was no I was going to drink it. I spoke to the manager and expressed my concern and she didn’t seem to care one bit. I asked if I could get another one and she said that no I couldn’t as I only had a sip left. I was sickened by this service and treatment as I’ve never had such a horrible experience before. Usually if there’s something wrong or an issue with a drink or a dish (say hair was found in it), it always get taken off the bill oror you’re given another one. But in this case I was given such sickening treatment and the manager didn’t bother to even solve the issue. I’ve worked previously in restaurants and hospitality and we’re trained and taught the opposite of this behavior. We’re instructed to treat the customer with respect and prioritize their thoughts, something that was far from what I had experienced today.

Cheap and cheerful pub for a quick drink after the theatre. Pitchers are good value.
