About The Undercroft At St. Mary's
Located in the atmospheric medieval undercroft of St. Mary's Guildhall, our café offers you a welcoming and relaxed setting for brunch, light snacks, hearty lunches, or a quick coffee while catching up with friends and emails. Just a short stroll from Coventry's central shopping areas and neighbouring tourist attractions, The Undercroft at St. Mary's is a perfect place to unwind in the city's historic Cathedral Quarter.
Expect tasty dishes at competitive prices, in unique historic surroundings. Your food is even prepared in the same medieval kitchens that have catered for royalty and civic dignitaries for nearly 700 years (with a few updates over time, of course). The café is also fully licenced should you fancy something a little stronger.
I would recommend eating here 100%. Good value, good portion size and super service. Thank you
PLEASE NOTE From January 2020 extensive conservation and refurbishment works are taking place throughout St Mary's Guildall. During the period of these works the café will unfortunately be closed. Please check for further updates over coming weeks
