This reservation was made for a tennis group of approximately 15 people at the restaurant Simmer Down, rather than 2 Tone Cafe (which is also excellent). The food here can be best described as authentic and innovative. One standout dish was the ackee and saltfish in Yorkshire pudding, which showcased a great understanding of flavors and was enjoyed by all. The staff provided attentive and friendly service, accommodating all of our requests with a willingness to go above and beyond. The overall dining experience at Simmer Down was greatly appreciated by all attendees, who thanked me for choosing this restaurant.
This venue was recommended during a visit to Coventry to see a 2 Tone music event. The ‘Village’ didn’t disappoint a wonderful trip down memory Lane for all lovers of 2 Tone/Ska music. The museum was filled with original memorabilia of iconic Coventry bands, including the car used in the ‘Ghost Town’ video by The Specials. The volunteer staff were extremely friendly, helpful and knowledgeable and made the visit even more enjoyable. Well worth the £5.00 per person entry fee. Would definitely recommend on a visit to this interesting City.
I stopped by for lunch with friends before going to the museum. We were greeted warmly and the restaurant had a mix of locals and museum visitors. We shared jerk chicken and a Caribbean Breakfast with jerk sausage and delicious ackee and saltfish. We washed it down with a pint of Red Stripe. The prices were very reasonable for the quality of food. If I lived closer, I would definitely be a regular customer.
Popped in on our way to visit family, decided we would have breakfast as we had set off early morning and this was about 11am. The young lady behind the counter was lovely and polite and took our order, hubby had Carribbean breakfast and I had omelette. The prices are really reasonable and the food was delicious my hubby was over the moon with his breakfast.

Went to this little 2 tone cafe with my sister for a traditional curried mutton, rice and peas and I got myself an old Jamaican grape soda The atmosphere was very homely, music was on but not overly loud so we could enjoy a conversation and the staff were really polite and the food was Devine.
Brilliant service, tasty food mutton curry, rice and peas and fried dumplings. Tried the festive hot chocolate, chocolate with a shot of Bailey's topped with cream....delicious, I had 2. Highly recommended, plus there is the 2 tone museum that's well worth a visit.
We visited the Coventry Music Museum and then decided to stop here for lunch. The restaurant is decorated in a 2 Tone style and has an impressive menu. The prices are very reasonable. The staff is friendly and the food is delicious. Definitely worth a visit.

Popped in after going to the music museum, had possibly the biggest sausage batch ever and a cracking cuppa. Staff were friendly, prices really reasonable and there was a lovely atmosphere.
Great place, amazing. If you love the 2-tone music this is the place for you. Great café that has a breakfast from £4. Fantastic museum
