This was a fairly nice venue for a wedding, however there is no parking. The food served was OK, but nothing special. (this could be down to choice of the wedding couple). The staff were very friendly. There is not a huge choice of drinks at the bar. More

If you are visiting Coventry Cathedral then add this 13th / 14th Century building to your visit schedule.

First, I'd like to mention another person's posting how the lift 'thingie' looked out of place. Yes it does, but without it, my mother would not have been able to experience any of St. Mary's Guildhall. The people there made sure my Mom felt safe and talked with her as she went up the lift. When we realized there were... More
