The Farmhouse Restaurant

The Farmhouse is an upmarket Indian and English restaurant on Beechwood Avenue in Coventry. The dining room is a decked out in utilitarian chic – all bare beams and dark wood, and in the summer months, there’s a terraced area with room for kids to play. The menu offers both distinctly Indian and distinctly English dishes, meaning it’s easy to keep everyone happy. Try old fashioned English prawn cocktail and follow it with something buttery soft from the tandoori oven, or go the other way and have onion bhajis and follow them with steak and kidney pudding. The smallest diners are catered for too, with a special children’s menu that even includes a pud for less than a fiver. This is a fine local eatery for all the family.

Of course, Birmingham, not far up the road from this Coventry restaurant, is the home of Indian food in Britain, and as such there’s a kind of logic to The Farmhouse’s decision to offer both Indian and English cuisine, and more still to them keeping the menus completely distinct from each other. After all, Midlands diners are perhaps the most discerning curry fans in the country, and a chicken tikka dumpling simply isn’t good enough.
