The Centenary Way reaches double figures and still fails to excite. Mrs M, however, will do anything on the promise of a Sunday Lunch out and Brandon's Royal Oak scores an impressive 4.5 on Tripadvisor.
It's from there we start, and some dull road walking leads to the question "what does Coventry Stadium host". My answer of speedway appears to have been correct. But it may well be condemned.

The arrow straight 12 O'Clock ride runs perfectly north through woodland to Coombe Abbey. Typical Warwickshire countryside, the return.

So the Royal Oak. The website is excellent and allows for on-line booking of tables. The outside is gunmetal grey - a colour scheme that will surely go the way of avocado bathrooms.

Beerwise - four cask and they managed to find a glass that matched my Tribute.
Foodwise - high quality, good service, Mrs M not getting too disappointed that the web advertised Lamb was unavailable.
This is why I never look at menus before arrival.
New reader/blog subscriber here. Beer and rambling around the Surrey Kent borders used to be my game, now I walk the Pennines around the Northumberland area. I have a lot of catching up to do so best get cracking! Great blog.
