Coach and Horses in Welwyn Hatfield

Visited the Secret Thai Garden in Coach and Horses, recommended by friends. The food was delicious, beautifully presented and very reasonably priced. The waiter who served us was lovely . He even walked us to the car with an umbrella because of the heavy rain. Unfortunately it is closing end of November but there is another Secret Thai Garden in Potters Bar which we intend to visit. I can recommend the Green Curry and my friend loves the duck in pancakes

Fantastic hot mixed starter and lovely red curry- everyone in our party of six enjoyed there food - if you like Thai food you will love this place

Lovely family lunch, great food and service all at a very reasonable price. Bouncy castle in the garden for the little ones Will definitely visit again.

Don't drink the Guinness, 2 of us had 2 pints each both had upset stomachs for 12 hours after. No one else in our party drank Guinness and they were fine

Should have phoned but turned up on spec only to be told they weren’t serving food this week. Also, for the third time recently the Disabled bay -essential for me-was occupied by non Blue Badge car. Neither the clientele or the pub take disabled parking seriously-shame as the food is excellent.

Sunny day and day off from work so decided to go somewhere different for an out door lunch . Lovely garden with really comfortable seats -Thai food was delicious and all freshly cooked . Had mixed starters and Pad Thai -partner had Weeping Tiger with rice -beautifully cooked and presented-too much food for me so the waitress very kindly wrapped it up for me to take home We thought everything was reasonably priced and good value for money.drink’s average pricing Staff were really friendly-will definitely return -will have to book if it’s a weekend -barman says it gets very busy -car park is very small -we parked in the last space and there were not many people in or outside of the pub. Great find !!

The food is great and reasonably priced however, be warned the pub drinks and your food bill are separate… and the pub drinks are pricey !!! We were charged £2.50 for a soda water when we queried it we were told that was the price for soda from the pump, not even bottled!!! I have never paid for soda water from the pub at other establishment, daylight robbery!! Needless to say this left a bad taste in our mouths, in future I will order a takeaway and get my drinks from the local supermarket!!!

A birthday meal in the Secret Thai Garden - very nice food and great service. Reasonably priced too. Staff very friendly and made us feel very welcome.

We arrived without a booking and just before the car park was full, as there is limited parking there. We was greeted nicely and shown to our table, as we chose to eat in the Thai restaurant 'the secret garden'. We also ate indoors instead of outdoors. The drinks come from the bar and the food comes from the restaurant, so you will get two separate bills, is you want more drinks you would have to get up to get them also again. Sitting at our table we noticed it was dirty with a couple of food bits on it, you could tell that it was cleaned but you can see that it just wasn't cleaned properly, so we done it ourselves. The drinks also came in dirty glasses which was off putting also. The staff are friendly which is nice, all the food was really tasty, there was no complimentary prawn crackers, and never noticed them on the menu which is also a shame as we do look forward to having them when we go to any Thai restaurant. Our drinks order was slightly wrong too but we just let that go. Another observation is that when seated unless you are having your order taken or food brought to you the staff aren't there in case you wanted or needed anything, they could be understaffed so can't be too critically for that. Nice food, friendly people, just wish they paid attention to detail, as this place could have been a placed we visited more often.

I am disabled and, a week ago, a friend took me to the pub hoping to have another of their excellent Thai meals. We headed to the disabled bay only to find a massive Mercedes car at an angle blocking not only the disabled bay but also the adjacent bay. Not a Blue badge in sight. While realising the pub cannot be responsible for such inconsiderate parking it seems totally beyond reason to have Disability Bays which are not available to the disabled. i emailed the pub but had no response - not even an acknowledgement. a different pub got my trade.

Thai food,which is always tasty & hot. We enjoyed a soup, crispy duck & a red curry each. The staff are very friendly & do their utmost to make it a memorable meal. Also great value for money. Highly recommended.

Excellent knees up following the service at the crematorium. The Coach and Horses exceeded our high expectations for the 80 or so people of all ages. Terrific finger buffet. Wonderful service. The best send off anyone could wish for.

We saw the outside of this pub and thought the Chrsitmas decorations at the front entrance were lovely so decided to pop in for a drink in the hope to also have a quick bar snack. We were greeted by a lovely lady who was serving on the bar (wish we took her name) who swiftly got our drinks. Lots of locals at the bar which I always think is promising. We ordered some Thai starters and a quater crispy duck, all of which were lovely. My husband loved his salt & pepper chicken wings! A lovely hour spent in a lovely village pub which a Thai food twist.

Disappointed, when I booked I requested a table inside the property, when we arrived we were sat in the outdoor area. Although it's covered we froze it was so cold 🥶 the waiters served us with their coats on food was nice but went cold quickly won't be rushing back.

Outstanding. We hadn’t booked so weren’t able to secure a table for 5 at 630pm. This place is popular! Decided to have a beer on the front patio as we waited for our food as a takeaway. We had: Chicken Satay Vegetable Spring Rolls Dim Sum Tempura Prawns Salt and Pepper Chicken Wings 1/4 Crispy Aromatic Duck Thai Green Chicken Massaman Chicken Curry Sweet and Sour Chicken Beef in Oyster Sauce Absolutely delicious. Can’t fault it except for one thing. I wish we had planned ahead and booked a table so I could have left a tip! We will most certainly be booking ahead for a family get together in the near future. Thank you. Lovely.

Myself and some friends went to the coach and horses and was instantly met with a attitude by the landlady. We left after 1 drink. Terrible service.

Well….where do I start!!!!! After reading many of the already horrendous reviews for this place ….I was compelled to be as honest as I could. Seemed really nice to start with and after being cooped up for so long due to the restrictions , we were really looking forward to a nice night out with friends. The food smelt lovely but we had incorrect dishes , dishes missing , and when we asked politely twice, the attitude of the staff wasn’t great in the slightest. We know mistakes happen and feel we were as accommodating and understanding as possible but when you as the customer should be right to a degree you don’t expect the staff to give attitude to you. In my experience ….the very little times we have ever had to mention any issues with the meal, they have bent over backwards to rectify as they want your custom again. From the reviews I’ve read ….this doesn’t seem to be their style and clearly not bothered whether you come back or not. I don’t think we will be returning because we all felt quite uncomfortable. A real shame because the surroundings were nice

We had booked for lunch in the cube. However, when we arrived, we were bumped out of the cube into the “snug” (AKA the bar), due to the fact that it was raining and they had two private parties booked for the garden which meant that they had to move one to the cube and the other to the restaurant. If you make a “garden” booking then you plainly accept the risk that it might rain: you cannot disregard the bookings of multiple other customers purely for the monetary benefit of satisfying a large party who have voluntarily chosen to book outside on a rainy day. When we spoke with the landlady she was incredibly rude and told us “there is nothing wrong with our snug”, and that she was “too busy” to talk. Appalling service from an otherwise lovely pub.

Visited this pub a few weeks ago and had a lovely meal, it was a lovely sunny day, atmosphere was great in the garden with a live singer so after a long awaited catch up with my sister I decided to take her there. We was running late due to a closure of a road but called to explain we are late for the table we booked and that wasn’t a problem. Thai meal was lovely and very quickly served but decided to make a night of it and go into the garden where we was entertained with a DJ , a few people dancing and had a lovely evening. We went into the bar area a little later on and met some of the locals and the landlady and what a friendly bunch they were , all so welcoming and treated you like you was a local. Great night, great people and staff and great place. We even shared a cab and the two guys paid for you. Thank you all for making our night. Will definitely return ASAP

Visited here for the first time on a cold, windy Bank Holiday Monday. Due to COVID regulations we had to sit outside, and the gloomy weather meant we were the only customers! After moving a table to find a bit of shelter from the wind behind the outside bar, we hunkered down to enjoy some Thai food, we had a delicious selection of starters and chicken/prawn Pad Thai noodles. Service was good and prices reasonable. Will be back in better weather!

Lovely pub, really friendly staff and amazing Thai food! Our little boy loved meeting Santa today 🎅. A huge thumbs up 👍

Lovely friendly staff, always so welcoming! The food is so tasty and prices are reasonable. Beautiful outdoor area also fit for both summer and winter which most places don’t have. Looking forward to returning :)

Great pub with a lovely atmosphere. Food was amazing, had a great evening. New terrace area looks so good

visited the pub and had a meal with friends last week. I was really impressed with the covid measures taken. All staff wearing masks or visors..... and to top it off the food was lovely. I have a shellfish allergy and the staff were so helpful, going out of their way to accommodate.Highly recommended. Will definitely be going again.

If you're looking for an average Thai meal in a discotheque full of chavs shouting at the tops of their voices then you've come to the right place. Romantic? No. Relaxing? No. Covid rules compliant? Not even close. The food is ok and service good until the bill came and we had been charged for someone else's drinks! The chances of us returning here are less than zero and I have absolutely no idea why it is so popular and hard to get a table. The good news is that the pub next door has just reopened after a refurb and they serve food.

Its a great place with a beautiful garden. Really nicely kitted out. Everyone is very welcoming & friendly. The service right the way through was attentive & customer centric First the bar lady came to check for drinks & then the Thai waiter looked after us all the way through. All the food was good. Tasty & made to the exact Level of spice we requested. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience & would return. Covid measures throughout enforced oh and the place was sparkling clean.

We had a Thai meal here this evening. The food was lovely but the restaurant, which is joined to the pub bar, was extremely noisy. A man, who obviously thought he had a good voice, was shouting along to the music, people were being seated in the restaurant as there weren’t enough tables in the bar, and the restaurant was a cut through to the toilets and garden.My main complaint is that hardly any customers walking through the restaurant were wearing masks. People were continually passing our table to go outside or to the toilets without face coverings. It was the most unrelaxing meal I’ve ever had.

I came to the Coach and horses last weekend. Lovely friendly staff,low level music playing outside,really child friendly with kids play area and toys on the grass area.

A Thursday lunchtime and car park nearly full - glad we had booked. We ate inside which was quiet so most must have been in the well organised garden. Service excellent and matched by the food.

We just discovered the thai restaurant here, the food is amazing. Really fresh and delicious. We have been getting takeaway during the lockdown and the food is hot and service is wonderful. Looking forward to visiting in person once the lockdown is lifted!

Couldn’t fault any of the food and great service. What a find and will revisit for authentic Thai but in a countryside pub setting. Well worth a visit !! Not bad prices either.

Three of us for a New Years eve dinner. Yes, it was a it noisy but that was a sign of how much everyone enjoyed themselves. Our reserved table was ready for us and the greeting was as you should expect. The young Thai waiter said he only started a few days before - hard to believe as he was so good at his job. The service was at the right pace - we weren't rushed but things arrived as they should. The food was obviously cooked to order and was as described on the menu. Another terrific experience.,

So nice to have a cozy pub with great atmosphere round the corner . Been here several times now and had a lovely Thai meal served by the friendly and delightful staff .look forward to our next visit .very soon .

Brilliant from start to finish. The service was spot on and the food excellent. Slight delay getting the bill but that, in no way, spoilt a great evening. Having Thai waitresses added authenticity and the food was obviously freshly cooked with vey decent portions.

Fabulous thai food pad thai prawn. Red chicken curry dim sum and rice served by lovely thai staff. The food wAs delicious and fresh. The thai staff are lovely. Cant wait to return! Well done. Much needed in en7.

Heard that the coach was serving thai it's the people who used to be in the cock the food was fabulous

As a non-local I found the atmosphere very unfriendly. Odd stares. Looks like its meant for locals exclusively.

Somewhat confusing. Went to the Coach and Horses with a friend for lunch and asked about Thai food. Was told that's all they do - contrary to their website. My first experience of Thai but my friend new enough - the menu and the staff filled in the gaps. Thoroughly enjoyed my freshly prepared meal and will certainly be back to try other things - looks like a decent choice. Dim Sum and Green Chicken curry were a great introduction. The menu helps by indicating the heat of the dishes.

Was looking forward to a local restaurant we had not yet tried.The experience was rather mixed.Service was slow. Value was good. The starter was really poor, it tasted like it had come straight out of the freezer and into the fryer (wet on the inside).The main was much better albeit not particularly hot. Suspect they struggle with timing.I wouldn't go back but overall it is worth a go.Restaurant was loud and very informal, though thankfully not out for a quiet meal!

We have been to the Coach & Horses for a quick pint lots of time before. Booked into the new Thai restaurant and were pleasantly surprised by the excellent dim sum, duck, curries and noodles. A great mid week treat in a traditional pub.

We used to enjoy going here as a family. Sadly, the kids playground has been pulled down and kids are not allowed in the bar/restaurant at all. On a recent visit, my husband asked what beers were on and the response from the barmaid was "oh I haven't got time for that, go and look yourself"! Needless to say, we left and won't be back.

Lovely pub, really friendly staff and the food is absolutely amazing! We’ve discovered this local gem by accident. They serve the best Thai cuisine in town! In the last couple of months we’ve visited on a few occasions and this place has definitely become our favourite place to eat.

Great value for money and great thai food. First vist to the pub and was very pleased overall. Bar staff and waitress was very friendly. Will be recommending

We live in very close proximity to this pub and have tried over the years to make it our local but their attitude to families always puts us off but our latest visit hit a new low. The rudest staff, terrible service, ordered Duck with seaweed only to be served Duck with Lettuce! Bar staff were shockingly rude. There are some great local Pubs and restaurants we will be giving them our custom and not this very unfriendly pub.

I went to this pub with friends as it has a garden and was expecting an ordinary bar menu! However it now has changed to Thai food and it is really lovely reasonably priced and well served food! Absolutely loved it and will be going back for more.

I understand that this Public House has a restricted licence with regards minors under the age of 14.. Not such a bad thing if you want an adult only environment.

Stopped here for a quick bite to eat. The no kids rule seems a bit over the top. We ended up sitting in the garden. Kids surely could be allowed in for lunch. Needless to say we won’t be back!

Visited today with my husband and son age 6, first time and last time visiting, no children allowed in the bar area which is fair enough, but not even allowed in the restaurant!! Absolute disgrace!! 😡😡😡

Lovely traditional Thai food. The pub is a bit small but the restaurant area and quality food make sup for it

First time here to eat and had a really enjoyable evening. The food was well presented very good produce and cooked to perfection by Thai chef and served by Thai waitresses. Prices of food and drink very reasonable. We will return

Last minute arrangement so first time to use C & H. Staff friendly and quick with a good menu to please all

Just phoned to book a table for 4 adults and 2 children on Saturday at 6.30pm.

The Coach and Horses is a great traditional pub with a friendly atmosphere. The inside is just what you would expect of an English pub, and there is a garden when weather permits.

I am local to the pub and absolutely love it now I have Thai food at the end of the road! Brilliant service, great atmosphere, delicious food. We’ve been going much more regularly now due to the restaurant, which has given us the opportunity to get to know other locals and the landlord better which is a bonus.

The secret Thai garden is a well kept secret in Newgate street village ,but shouldn’t be !

Been open a few months and worth a visit. Good menu choice, lovely attentive service, sensible prices. Loved the green curry and the duck. Hope you do well as its great to have a Thai restaurant in such a rural location.

Stopped in today 12/10 for 2 beers on the way home

Went there on Friday night with a group of friends, was expecting to enjoy a nice Thai meal there as I heard it was recently open.

Wanted to try out the Thai food and support local business! However, bitterly disappointed! Dining area incredibly noisy as it is not separated from the pub/bar area. Anyone needing the loo has to walk through the dining area so constant stream of people the whole evening.

My wife and I booked a table for Saturday evening, as we found out it also does Thai food there, and we both love Thai. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a very nice pub, traditional looking. Good choice of beers, ales were very good. Can’t really fault the pub. But, the Thai restaurant! Well, the food was very disappointing really. We have been to many Thai restaurant’s over the years and around the world, but honestly, this was very poor. Thai fish cakes starter, I found them chewy, if they didn’t come with sweet chilli dip, there would have been no flavour at all. But the spare ribs were very tasty. For main course I tried the Red Curry, I enjoy hot food. On the menu there are 2 chilli’s symbols. which I took to mean “Hot”. No, there was no chilli heat there at all, the only real flavour I got from it was coconut.

Lovely old English friendly pub serving traditional Ale's. Nice open log fire during winter months gives that cosy feeling.

A quaint pub, very old features, traditional old style pub. Massive log fires, dark furniture, lots of seating space inside and out-quaint!

We visited the pub for the first time for lunch and found the pub airy and spotlessly clean. The garden was also very good and extremely large for the children to play in. All of the serving staff were friendly in quick in serving the food which was good wholesome pub food. The only problem was trying to buy a drink and order the food. The person behind the bar was so slow that at times I saw at least eight people queuing to either buy a drink or order some food. I also noticed two couples who appeared to be fed up with waiting and left The final straw was when the person working the bar was heard to say 'I'M NOT GOING TO RUSH FOR ANYONE'. Will I come again? I would like to and probably will just to see if the bar service has improved.

We popped out for a little drive and stopped at a couple of places, this being one of them. What a lovely friendly, well kept old fashioned pub. Beautiful big garden and they serve gorgeous food! Will definitely go back

We stopped in the pub on Sunday ended up sitting in and having a roast dinner the food was really was really good definitely recommend

Its a shame I have to rate this poor because it is such a quaint and pretty pub in the lovely setting of Newgate Street Village. However, we stopped in for a drink and a snack the other day and we won't be going back any time soon. We stood at the bar whilst the lady was writing up the specials on a board. Eventually she acknowledged us and said she wouldn't be long. After some time and further conversations with other staff she came to serve us. I ordered drinks and asked for two portions of chips which were shown on the menu. The lady said that Chef didn't like to serve just chips and would we like a meal to go with them. At that, we took our drinks outside and had a pleasant few minutes in the sunshine before returning home for a sandwich.

This is a real old style village pub that we love visiting regularly, particularly in the summer, as it has a large beer garden, ideal for families. Unfortunately it had lost its identity over recent years. The pub is now under new management & what a difference it has made to the atmosphere. The staff are now welcoming & the locals are friendly. More importantly they have a new chef, recruited from a local hotel & the food is once again back to their previous high standards. A new menu is now in place, the food is tasty & hot, the service fast & all in all its great value for money. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. Highly recommended once again.

Perhaps she'd just taken over. Certainly the experience was chaotic. Part of the pub was bing decorated, so everyone was crowded in quite a small space getting away from the paint fumes. The strange fan heater in the grate near us was very noisy. Because it was hard to get around, she came to our table to take the order, but knew nothing at all about the beers. The menu was limited for us - my friend is a vegetarian and I am on a low-cholestoral diet - but we settled in the end for ciabatas - they came with a nice salad and coleslaw, but the bread was impossible to cut through and we had to put it to one side. Finally, she messed up the credit card payment. And as my friend says, when two older women turn up at your pub in hiking gear, you might find a moment to say "where have you come from? Where are you going?". Not impressed.

Fantastic friendly atmosphere, quality beer, and top notch food! Would highly recommend a visit to this quaint village pub!

Nice to go to a village pub where the food is genuine and fair priced. You won’t be leaving hungry after. The chef even came out himself to make sure it was all ok and if there was anything I’d recommend. Been there a few times now and I’ve ordered different food every time and it’s excellent. They should charge more for it.

Great little old fashioned country pub. Good selection of beers and a fantastic, friendly and welcoming atmosphere; made even better by a beautiful roaring fire. Had some lunch off the new menu and the food was terrific. Wonderful little hidden gem in an idyllic setting, will definitely be going back!

Visited the Coach & Horses on Friday. Their was a limited menu available because the chef Jo was leaving that day. We both decided to go for the Sea bass which we can only say was excellent, very succulent & tasty. It was accompanied with nice hot chunky chips & a very tasty salad. All very well presented @ a fair price.. The meal was advertised with rice & veg, however Jo the chef came out to tell us that she had run out of the rice & veg but asked if we would be happy with the chips & salad which undoubtedly we were.

Lovely pub very old and has character nice Christmas decorations around.Great starters/mains good selection.The food was very well presented hot and plenty of it.Only had room for coffee as we were full up.The atmosphere was good and we were made to feel welcome.

Highly recommend this pub for a "proper" Sunday lunch. It was just like home cooking - absolutely delicious. We also really loved the fact they offer a smaller plate for smaller appetites. Brilliant if you want to leave room for one of the yummy puds. Lovely competent team front of house made it a really enjoyable experience at an amazing price.

A visit to the coach and Horses is like stepping back in time. There are little nooks and snugs tucked...

My girlfriend had fish & chips & I had sole. Excellent light batter, excellent tasting fishes, best Tartare Sauce I've...

Although they were very busy, they still served our coffee in very good time. It was hot and flavorsome. Chatting...

we were served by a very pleasant lady, she made us feel very comfortable, ok so we turned up on...

Yo y mi novia nunca había estado aquí antes y habíamos oído gran menciona de su comida. Decidimos ir aquí para un almuerzo. Por desgracia era una gran decepción; en cuanto a la comida de todos modos.

Decisión de último minuto para ir aquí ya sabíamos que sirve realmente la fantasía de cangrejo y algunos. Agradable pub worldie viejito. Estaba sentado en una mesa de inmediato. Alguien vino a tomar nuestro pedido de bebidas y dar a nuestro menú. 2 de nosotros tuvimos el cangrejo, el resto de pescado y patatas fritas. Tuvimos que esperar casi 40 minutos para nuestra comida, aunque no estaba lleno de gente comiendo (de ahí que no le doy 5 estrellas porque la espera). Pero la comida era deliciosa, cuando llegó.

Excelente comida de pub. A solo unos pocos minutos de espera mientras preparado. Bonita mano tirado cervezas de barril. Cálida bienvenida y un ambiente agradable relajado altamente recomendado.

La primera visita a este pequeño pub del campo. Comida deliciosa y el personal maravilloso jardín. En general, es un lugar fabuloso.

Excellent choice of menu, staff very friendly, service with a smile. Can highly recommend quality and very tasty food.

Lovely roaring open fire, nice traditional rustic pub. Nice and friendly landlady. Good range of simple but hearty food.

Popped into this wonderful pub for lunch I had the homemade chicken curry and my wife the home made steak and kidney pie which were both delicious even found enough room for the apple crumble for afters which was also excellent will definitely be visiting again.

This truly represents an authentic British pub.And the landlord that likes traditional values.We had a terrific Sunday lunch in this warm and cosy boozer.This is not a fancy chain,so don't expect baloney,just a good pint of beer,a wonderful glass of wine,great food and good conversation.No piped music, no false have a nice day.Come here for ambience and tradition.It also has an expansive rear garden for sunny days.

Just had a meal which was lovely. Steak was tender and cooked as ask. Fish was massive and cooked beautifully. Waitress is really friendly. Would recommend this place to anyone. Chef came out check that all was OK :-)

We had enjoyed the atmosphere and comfort in this lovely pub Welcoming staff on approach We did wait quite a while for food which was average large portion fish and chips hunter chicken satisfactory would have liked BBQ sauce Would return another time .

No Fish as one of their fryers had broken. As we ordered we were asked if we were hungry as it was going to be a long wait. I ordered home made lasagne and i can only describe it as the worst I have ever had. When the waitress came to take my plate which had hardly been touched she made no attempt t ask whether everything was ok..It clearly wasn't and she didn't seem interested

very good portions , good value for money and nice ambiance. coffee was very weak filter. these days anything less than real espresso or cafetière is not really acceptable.

Been in for drinks, got a lovely feel about it. Got a real old English pub feeling to it. I was staying at a local hotel so made a change from normal hotel for the evening. Not eaten there but the food smelt great

Pleasant friendly local pub, lack of staff and long wait for lunch spoilt the occasion of introducing friends to this beautiful Village. Had to ask for condiments and the plates whipped away as soon as knife and fork put down. Will not be returning.

Arrived on site for a business lunch meeting. I had never visited the pub before but was immediately drawn to the look and feel of the building. I was met with a very warm welcome from the bar staff. Was recommended to try the dressed crab which was absolutely fantastic. Beautifully presented on the plate. Highly recommended. As the sun was shining we held the meeting in the rear garden on what is obviously a brand new block paved patio. The garden is beautifully maintained with a children's play area located to the rear. Would thoroughly recommend a visit

I have eaten here on a couple of occasions and each time have had to listen to loud conversations with lots of swearing included ! The food is good , although I was a little disappointed with the sandwiches , everyday sliced bread was used and when you pay £6.50 for a sandwich you expect a decent loaf to be used . The garden area is the best part of this pub . I wouldn't make a conscious effort to return here .

So we rolled up for a Sunday afternoon roast dinner. The girl behind the bar could not have been more helpful and pleasant. The menu gave us the choice of two sized roast dinners - large at £12.50 and small at £8.50. As we both had an appetite we went for large. The dinner we both chose was "Roast pork and crackling". When the dinners arrived, we were about to call the waiter back to explain the chef had forgotten the crackling. However before we did, my friend noticed the pork crackling hidden in the centere of the yorkshire pud. When I tell you that the pud was no more than 6cm across, you get the idea of how small the crackling wasd. I called the waiter back and asked if we could perhaps have some more crackling. He went to the chef and then came back and told us that as there was a table for 12 booked, they had to share out the crackling and as such there was no more available. So we each made do with a piece of crackling about 2cm across. Disappointing! The rest of the meal was very average. It reminded us of a school dinner in quality AND size. Fine for a 12 year old but not enough for a hungrey adult.I mentioned this to the chef (who I think was called Steve) when we paid. He got a little annoyed and told us he had given us three potatoes (actually it was a couple of potatoes cut into three bits) and he had given us a home made Yorkshire pudding.... Then a lical punter came up and calling our parentage into question said to the chef "Steve these are crazy ******** ignore them". And so the chef did. We paid and left -never to return!! My friend went and an hour later had another roast dinner - a proper one. I went home and snacked.....

I visited this pub by accident on the 17th February 2016. My windscreen wipers had stopped in the pouring rain so I had to pull over quickly, into a pub car park! I rang for help but after a good couple of hours my emergency fourth service never showed. I got chatting to the barmaid, Hannah, who was exceptionally friendly and helpful. I also got chatting to the regulars who were also friendly, warm and welcoming. After two hours barmaid Hannah introduced me to Ray a mechanic. He went out and fixed my car and refused to take any payment. Ray due to his mechanical skills is known as "The Ray A" and "The R.A.Y." Thanks to him I made it home with no further problems that night.This really is a friendly pub where both staff and customers are like one big family ready to welcome and befriend new faces. I live a good hundred miles away but any excuse and I'll be back to visit this most friendly, helpful and beautiful pub. Thank you The Coach and Horses xx

Took some friends from Dublin on Sunday and we all sent back clean dishes! Pate was delicious. Main we had Roast Beef/Roast Ham and Venision - all were probably the best Sunday Lunch we have had in a pub for a very very long time. Service was also impeccable! Will definitely go back!

The Coach and Horses is a lovely pub with plenty off space both inside and out (terrace at the front for car-watching and in the garden with a big field and play area for children). Good food. Good choice of ales. Good company.

Six of us visited this venue for a Saturday evening meal as guests from Ponsbourne Park Hotel. We arrived about 1930hrs. It was a traditional English pub in a lovely setting. There were a lot of people already sitting outside but there were some free tables. Unfortunately, the large number of smokers made it unpleasant to even consider eating outside. Inside the pub was small but pleasant. Because some smokers were standing in the entrance to the pub, the interior was filling with smoke, it can't have been pleasant for the staff. We had to wait a while to be served as the till had broken down and then waited a while for the food to be prepared. When the food arrived we all enjoyed our meals: a decent sized serving. If we were in the area again we would visit this pub.

I went here on Sunday with my daughter, son in law and their kids, and a Swedish family they'd met on holiday. We wanted them to sample a proper English roast, and we were all very impressed with the food ! I suppose my only slight complaint was that it took quite a long to come, but frankly I'd rather wait for freshly cooked food, than to have quick microwaved food ! As a bonus for an old (ish) man, there was a gorgeous bar lady serving at the bar :-) !! I'll be back :-)
