McDonald's Coventry- Alvis Retail Park

You're finishing up at Halfords or dragging the kids round Argos when hunger strikes, and this McDonald's on Holyhead Road becomes your salvation. It's the kind of place that serves a purpose rather than inspiring devotion – reliably churning out Big Macs and fries at all hours for retail park refugees and late-night workers from the nearby industrial estates. The table service here actually works, which puts it ahead of plenty of other branches, and there's enough parking that you won't be circling like a vulture. It's not going to change your life, but when you need fast food at 3am after a night out or want to bribe the kids after a shopping expedition, it does the job without fuss.
