The Nursery Tavern (Chapelfields, Coventry)
The pub takes its name from Thomas Weare, a local nurseryman and seedsman whose gardens once stood nearby. A licence was first granted in 1852, and by 1854 the site was known as The Nursery Tavern. Through generations, it became a true community pub, known for its welcoming atmosphere and local following.
Its distinctive position amongst the terraces makes it one of the area’s most recognisable landmarks, close to the well-known Earlsdon and Craven Street pub circuit.
The Nursery Tavern will become the first Black Country Ales pub in the city of Coventry, joining our growing estate of traditional, community-focused pubs across the Midlands.
We look forward to carefully restoring the building, preserving its heritage and character while bringing it back to life as a community hub specialising in real ale
