Hastings Tavern, 30 Clay Lane

Coventry-The Hastings Presumably this refers to the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The pub opened on 19th April 1924. In 1983 Chris Arnott said that "Mitchells and Butler rarely miss a trick. When a pub called the Hastings was ripe for revamping, they produced a 'Battle Theme' lounge, complete with Norman arches, a mock portcullis, crossed swords and axes, and the odd Bayeux Tapestry or two". The pub doesn't date from then!
