Coach and Horses in Three Rivers - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We were up from Cornwall visiting family in Rickmansworth so decided to book this restaurant for a family get together there was a total of 16 of us ranging from Great grandparents down to our 5 Great granddaughters, we have visited here before when leaving for Cornwall in 2015 we done a big leaving party then when we visit we will often use this pub. The food was really lovely but the service was really poor with bad attitude from one of the waitresses which you don't need spending over £350 two or three made comments about her maybe she should find a job where she doesn't have to deal with the public

Went for lunch.The weather was nice so we sat outside .It was very quiet but the lady who served us was very friendly and efficient. They do a lunchtime special. Food was good. Would definitely go back.

A bit scruffy. Toilets leave a lot to be desired!!

Popped in for lunch on Saturday afternoon and it was brilliant! Big portions and home cooked fresh food. lovely friendly service. Would return and have told others to check it out.

lovely place, clean facilities. would recommend.

Pie was proper English pub food!

Horrible treatment of staff. Do not work here

I went to see a show at a nearby theatre, and called in for a quick pint whilst I waited for a taxi home. The pub was fairly busy, but there were three girls serving behind the bar. I waited and waited, and it was quite obvious that people were pushing in front of me, but the staff seemed clueless as to who they should serve next. At one point, one of the girls shouted “is anyone waiting” and I shouted “ yes please” and then she looked at me, and then served someone else who had just arrived at the bar! Finally a girl was heading towards me, and said “who’s next” just as another couple arrived at the bar. The couple went to place their order and that’s when I jumped in and said hold on, I’ve been waiting ages. The couple and the barmaid just stared at me as if I had arrived from another planet. I was then tersely asked what I wanted, and then huffily served my drink without a smile or a thank you. I was one of the older people in the bar, and I can only assume that the staff were giving their mates priority, but I found the whole experience very humiliating, and very disappointing. Out of the three girls, only one seemed to know how to smile. The other two were robotic, and clearly not happy in their job. There was also a total lack of anyone in charge, which maybe explains the shoddy service. I have been using this pub for many years with my family for drinks and food, but based on this experience, I won’t be returning any time soon.

Last visited the pub about 2/3 years ago.. came here for Saturday lunch with a friend. Greeted by friendly bar lady... Both choose drinks and ordered.. food cooked fresh . And very filling. Highly recommendes

Went to watch a match at the Euros. A lot of people there for the England match as expected. Only 2 tvs and no sound from one made it quote hard to view the match. However positives were the drinks and food came really quick, staff were extremely friendly and tentative even though it was packed. Will be back but maybe get a few more TV's and fix the sound to make it a better experience.

Beautiful pub, food wonderful, staff lovely and friendly 💕

Really nice pub with friendly staff, great food and reasonable prices, definitely a winning formula

Had the Coach burger, for £16.95 it was a total rip off. A miserly portion of chips and some sad coleslaw to accompany. Burger itself was fine but not sure where they're getting these prices from. Pub is otherwise nice and friendly, food not so much.

Good pub, nice outdoor area. Friendly staff

We visited The Coach and Horses for an evening meal and drinks with friends in May 2024. The menu has a good selection of pub style food on and the selection of real ales and craft beers was excellent and well kept. Staff were generally friendly and helpful. The pub is located slightly away from the main centre of Rickmansworth but still within easy walking distance of the railway station, buses, Premier Inn etc. The clientele was a wide variety of ages and for a Sunday night, it was pretty busy. We would certainly choose to come here again if in the area.

Slow service, lacking atmosphere with sports playing on big screen. Toilets need a deep clean.

£18.95 gets you a pint of ale and a Fillet steak (6oz I think, but plenty) with chunky chips, a mushroom, grilled tomato, salad and a choice of 3 sauces for the steak. This time I had mushroom sauce, last time I had pepper sauce: both were very nice. This was my second visit in the last couple of months. The first time I thought it must’ve been a one-off, since I am so hard to please when it comes to steaks. But no, it was just as good the second time too. I asked for medium rare, and that’s exactly what I got. The steak was tender, without any sinew or toughness at all: simply excellent. You’d be paying close to £30 in most restaurants for a piece of steak of this quality; Cote, for example. I like a good clear pint of ale, so when the barmaid appeared from the cellar and announced that she’d just changed the barrel of Sussex Best, I did a little fist pump. Sadly I was driving, so only one for me on this visit - but I mention this since you’re usually paying £5-£5.50 for a pint of this, and the beer is included in the Steak Thursday Meal Deal. The staff were friendly, and were working their socks off. Yes, there’s a few locals too, but isn’t that a good thing? I’m busy looking for another Thursday visit in my diary!

Staff were amazing, food was amazing, beer was great. Not often does a pub smash it. Toilets could be cleaner but everything else was super. Well done!

Great food, big portions, great beer and friendly service too.

Food can be to pricey according to some of us. Nice back garden, plenty of space. Be careful to bartender( pink hair in my case), as they will offer you beer that was in pint already and just top up a little in front of you.

Excellent vibrant location especially on the weekends live sports a plus

There are many casks and kegs. Big back garden with artificial grass. Kids and dog(and maybe even horse) friendly pub.

Pricey for both drinks and food. Don't expect to get served quickly unless you're friends with the bar staff. Walked out as their friends arriving after me and my colleagues were ignored whilst they got drinks first. Male bar staff prioritise young girls and women whilst female bar staff favour friends. Suggest going elsewhere unless it's very very quiet.

Nice pizza. Pub full of character

The Ribs and Pork Belly Roast are incredible! Superb service too.

Nice looking pub with a good collection of beers, footy on but pretty chilled family vibe. the meat platter filled us up a treat after a long hike, ribs were the stand out. Loaded fries and chips were good too. Glad we came, thanks!

OK.. family there ... salad was poor size and overpriced for what we got paid extra too for chicken but shouldn't have bothered!

Lovely place for food and drink. Very friendly staff.

Friendly. Good food. Nice drink selection

Traditional pub serving real ales and craft beers Nice atmosphere and helpful staff. Garden is excellent with plenty of outside seating.

Parking: None, but advertised as public over-the-road. It was mix of vans and cars, only all-day at £4. Had to drive down a side-road and find another area, also £4. General consensus of 6 diners: Food was mediocre to poor; e.g. Linguine: too much pasta & sauce and not enough king prawns for £17.95; Fish & Chunky Chips: Small portion of fish £16.45. Chosen wine was unavailable. Service; well she was miserable, not a smile in sight. Will not go again.

Lovely old pub...but they obviously overbooked and couldn't cope with the number of tables they needed to serve on Mother's Day. Squashed 6 of us on a table meant for 4. I could see the kitchen staff were pushed. Waited well over an hour for starters, mains came a few hours in and my mum's lamb was like leather, sadly. Pork belly were nice enough. Not sure what the promised Mother's day free gift was supposed to be. Not an enjoyable experience at all. Staff weren't interested to hear about it either. A shame because we've been here twice before and it was great!

After exploring Rickmansworth, we were trying to find a quiet pub. The Weatherspoons was packed to the seams and being flu season I wanted to avoid this crowd. The pub near the church was just all ponce and fluff. All we wanted was a casual place to sit and have a few drinks before lunch so we headed here. Lovely open fire going in the front as we entered. The place is popular with locals for sure. The staff seem young and not too confident about service. Both times I went to the bar they were elsewhere and I had to wait for them to make their way back to the bar. Someone should always be stationed at the bar when there are patrons crowding in the front. There was rowdy banter by a group of the locals which was fine with us. Not everyone would have liked their dog however who barked constantly as they tried to teach him tricks with treats. And that I know if the big debate in England at the moment about dogs in pubs. When the weather is nice, there's so much outdoor seating.

Initially friendly. Asked to sit anywhere. Did so then told to move. Offered seating in balcony area where dogs and owners were. Felt insulted .. I do not own a dog so seating in this area was completely inappropriate!

Good pub with good pub food. Will go there again.

Excellent pub. Great beers. Awesome garden great staff

Proper traditional pub experience except with good food.

Lovely Cozy warm pub lovely feel & ambience pleasant clientele good menu tasty food reasonable prices parked opposite public car park free after 6pm

Very lovely pub. We sat by the fire and one of the locals kept putting logs on the fire. It was uncomfortably hot as we were the only ones sitting by the fire. Came for Christmas dinner menu to celebrate my mums birthday. Service was very slow but friendly. Food was great when it came. One of our party didn’t get his starter. Not sure we would come again at Christmas

This place is the nuts 🥜 Great hospitality ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great food ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great atmosphere ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We meet as a trio of friends every month and have an amazing time… from the minute you step inside the bar staff are just gold! Emily and staff are just smiles 😃 and vibes ❤️🥰 ⚡️Everyone is so friendly. They are even open this Christmas 🎅🏼 🎄 on the 25th so if you’re struggling for somewhere warm and cosy to go to - The coach and horses with their warm fireplace 🔥 🪵 and hospitality is the place to be.

Lovely pub, seating for bar area and sports, but also another area for the restaurant, we didn't go into the outdoor seating because of the weather but that looks nice too, they have some good value deals throughout the week, however we went on a Sunday, but we will be back for sure! Great food and very helpful staff, can't fault the place.

Love this pub... always a favourite!

A really nice atmosphere here guus food decent.staff are very friendly

Popped in for lunch- great menu choice with good lunch deals. Service was ok- when served the napkins around the cutlery were very wet. Got some more but they were all the same

Top Sunday roast. Great service. Lovely Sussex best ale.

This is a lovely coaching inn, lots of character. There were nine of us for dinner, food was good with decent sized portions. Friendly staff, we had a great evening.

Seriously, what has happened to this place?!?! Used to be the best pub around by a mile - great ale, great food. The beer in the last few years has mostly been undrinkable, last 'roast' we ate had been double cooked with griddle marks on, what!? We keep going back in hope for what used to be, it's a beautiful pub - but unfinished drinks and unfinished food is wearing thin.

So I pop in here for a cheeky pint whilst I wait for my son to finish work. Beautiful old pub with a large garden, always providing enough seating . Bar staff seem very helpful and friendly .

A really nice looking pub with great beer garden. Shame about the mediocre roast dinners, and dismissiveness of management to deal with a poor wine recommendation (it tasted like vinegar). A pub as nice as this should have been heaving on a Sunday - so much potential.

Not a good roast dinner , very disappointing . It used to be good so it’s a shame it’s gone downhill.

The beer was terrible and we complained about the beer and asked to replace a pint that was flat. We were immediately asked to leave. Worst pub in my life! Will never go back.

Unbelievably bad so called " supervisor " in charge, lager so flat asked for a new drink and got asked to leave , never seen the pub so empty , i wonder why clueless

Reasonably priced food, friendly service. Used to be a dog friendly pub with dog treats on the bar and staff offering dog water bowl. This is no longer the case. You can bring your dog in but no treats or water offered.

Glass was dirty and the pint was watered down never again 👎

Lovely pub with large beer garden.

13 of us sat outside. Food was lovely, arrived quickly and a great beer selection too. We'll be back.

We had a great Sunday roast here at the weekend. Lovely food and good service

I went for dinner with my sister and my dad. The staff couldn't be more accommodating we were celebrating some good news health wise! The food was lovely and lots of care was taken to get the orders right. All of the staff were fabulous and made our evening extra special. Thank you to the fabulous staff that need recognition for their efforts of making the night lovely! Over and above customer service is what we received so thank you for that. Wouldn't hesitate to return! THANK YOU.

Un ambiente rústico tradicional Inglés con un jardín espectacular para disfrutar de una fresquita pinta 🍺 junto con el espectacular Sunday dinner!! El personal muy atento y súper simpático

A wonderful experience, a traditional English pub 350 years old. Great atmosphere, the food was absolutely 1st class and plentiful. Best BBQ Spare ribs ever experienced. A must for all travellers passing through. A1. Thanks for a such an enjoyable day.

Excellent really nice pub better than weatherspoons ha ha!!!

Food was delicious, lovely outdoor area and drinks are cold!

The roast lamb was like eating an old boot. The gravy was like sticky toffee but atmosphere was really pleasant. Drinks were good price. Parking opposite is an added bonus for convenience. Hygiene rating of 1 star rated May 2023. Overall service was good considering.

Had to wait over an hour to be served any food…. What a joke of a pub

Lovely old pub with great quirky decor inside. A lovely beer garden out the back and AMAZING nachos!! The roast dinners are fab too but roast potatoes aren’t the best. We made a complaint and the manager was so so helpful and didn’t charge us for one of our meals. Everything else was brilliant and we will definitely return again to sit out in the lovely garden in the sun ☀️

WORRING. A 1 Star EHO Food Rating Is A Huge Concern. Very Basic Failings. SERIOUS FOOD SAFETY ISSUES. A Real Shame As My Family Have Enjoyed A Few Meals Here. That Will Change Until The Food Safety Issues Are Resolved.

Decently priced beer, food is naff

Called for lunch. Food reasonable but not outstanding. Staff pleasant. Don't be put off by my comments, my standards are high.

Unfortunately the service was slow, limited foods available from the menu, meals came without the vegetables which were stated on the menu.

Nice garden with plenty of space, fish & chips was very good. 4.5/5

Great pub with open fire place and excellent beer garden, spoiled by very poor Guinness with a brown head.

Lovely 😍 pub to enjoy a drink after work. Also special during summer ☀️ as they have a lovely beer garden. 🍺

Not so great this time. Bar man argued with my husband about what drinks he ordered ... Bar man got it wrong..... Other bar staff confirmed this .... Kinda put us off going back, unfortunately.... Really liked it before.... Shame

Great pub with a nice atmosphere and good food

Nice atmosphere. The staff are friendly. Don't drink the cola or the lemonade. No fizz! Warm and syrupy is the best way to describe it. Also no parking.

Good sandwich , lovely service. Nice place .

Brilliant Sunday lunch served by a really wonderful team. Highly recommend it!

Needs new owners Run by brats with no clue except the chef who’s been there for donkeys years

Good meal but service bit slow. All friendly.

Characterful pub with spacious dining area and lots of outdoor space. Pizzas were very good and has an extensive fair priced menu with special offers available. Friendly service. Good range of beers.

Just visited this pub for lunch, great start, welcomed our dog, and seemed friendly. Ordered lunch from table right next to kitchen and the server forgot to order sausage for our four legged friend by the time he walked a few steps, also the ham and eggs were advertised with mustard but that also failed to arrive. The staff were more interested in chatting amongst themselves rather than trying to make conversation with customers. The food was very nice and reasonably priced which is why I didn’t give it less stars, (and the fact that they allow dogs)

Great steak. Lovely pint of Guiness too!

Not a place I chose to go to and its average at best

Food was great visited with family It was steak night which we all had and enjoyed. The deserts were also fab

My husband, his friend, and I went here for lunch this week. Our experience and the food was good. I had the shrimp and chorizo pasta dish. It was very good. Would order again .... I was supposed to get garlic foccacia bread but it did not arrive. I forgot to ask our server (Emily) about it. She was friendly, and helpful. Just an oversight. But I do have to complain about the room we were in. Two of us wore our coats the whole time. Luckily I had worn a jumper anyway. Very interesting and pretty interior. Would return. Hope it is warmer next time !

We went to this pub yesterday, and had a very nice meal. My husband and I had never been there, and I thought it was a charming pub with lovely interior. Our server, Emily, was very good, friendly and helpful . As I said, the food was good. I had the shrimp and garlic tagliatine dish. Very good. It was supposed to come with garlic foccacia but I did not get it. But, an oversight, I imagine. I forgot to ask about it, quite frankly, as I had a nice meal. My husband and his friend had the bbq ribs and really enjoyed them. I would have given 5 stars, but all of us were cold. Two of us wore our coats the entire meal.

We had roast chicken, roast beef and my little one had childs portion roast beef. All tasted fantastic. I wished I had taken a picture earlier so I could upload now. We had an early lunch midday which was lucky cause it got very busy would recommend to book. Staff very polite. We will be going back again in a couple of weeks with the inlaws. 👍🏻

Great pub with lovely food and friendly staff

Great traditional pub with low beams and a fire. Very 'hickle-dee-pickle-dee' layout, which really adds to the great character of the pub. Nice medium size garden which I will revisit in warmer weather. There's a good selection of beers and ales plus a really nice 'pub' menu. I had the Smokey Joe's Burger which tasted delicious and was just the right size, it filled me up but I didn't feel stuffed afterwards. Decent competitive prices as well, no complaints and I'll defi return when in the area again 😎

Went here for lunch and sadly the wait of well over an hour for food to arrive really tarnished the experience. There was no warning of a long wait for food and in fact the staff seemed oblivious to the fact it might be an issue. The pub was not hugely busy so goodness knows what waiting time would have been if it was When the food finally arrived it was good but sadly I didn’t get to enjoy it as I had another appointment to get to.

Food was good. Service was not. Booked online and no note of my booking when arrived but seated us anyway. Waited ages to order a drink. Food was very good when it arrived. Waited ages to pay the bill. Staff seemed uninterested and split between the bar and a semi busy restaurant which didn’t work. After paying dinner bill went to bar to order drinks and was ignored for nearly 10 mins to went elsewhere to continue our evening.

Very impressed. We went for Xmas lunch at the Coach this year and we were very happy by the customer service and food. The meal was clearly prepared then served straightaway, it wasn't left to stand. This was appreciated with the salmon and chicken. There was a bit of a wait time, but there's a reason for it. You won't be served food that's been left standing for ages.

Our booked table in the restaurant area was an hour late with no offer of compensation, food service was slow and item missing from meal.

Booked a table for 4, had a lovely night. Lovely atmosphere.. Football night.. But locals and staff really friendly.

I asked for a takeaway sandwich from a pleasant man from Glasgow behind the bar. Although this was not available at the time requested I was able to get one which was extremely tasty. Great service.

Really enjoyed the feel of the place with great selection of beer! Christmas dinner was good too!

Warm and friendly atmosphere just like a pub should be.

Fantastic roast lunch. Great food , great service. We will be back soon !!

Kind friendly service bit expensive

Overall experience was good; most food was nicely presented and tasty. However, I was disappointed with the dish I ordered - spinach gnocchi with wild mushrooms (supposedly in a white wine sauce). When it arrived, it was in pool of oil and unfortunately for me it tasted like the mushrooms had been cooked in marmite and burnt. Not a pleasant taste for someone who doesn't like marmite anyway! Even my marmite-loving husband agreed it wasn't good. I asked our server what the sauce was and she said she'd find out but never came back to our table. I would just advise that if you're going to include an ingredient where the strapline is literally "love it or hate it", it might be worth putting it on the menu (considering the menu is seemingly a list of ingredients anyway!). Thankfully some churros got rid of the horrible aftertaste!
