Coach and Horses in Powys

Great spot for lunch absolutely lovely service & food We have been back many times & thoroughly enjoy ourselves each time Thank you all

Stopped with friends for a drink after a day out. Hit a week later by a £100 parking fine in the post. Shocking - won't be returning.

Obviously a change of ownership/management. Very disappointed as this used to be an amazing pub with fantastic food. Now it’s more like cafe / burger van food. Such a shame. Staff are very friendly and pleasant but don’t go there for a special meal anymore it’s just limited and poorly presented food. No presentation , plate full of grease and meat over cooked. I hope it’s just teething problems and that you can improve. Great for just a drink tho and probably bowl of chips ! 😢 very sad to see and even more so to write this review.

Sunday lunch but we ate in the evening. Both lamb and the beef were excellent, it all tasted homemade and the portions were generous. Dogs welcome, which is a plus whether she's with me or not.

On a narrowboat holiday so a canalside pub is a bonus. We went for our evening meal. Disappointing menu - all pubs seem to offer the same menu these days! Burger, fish and chips, lasagne, scampi ☹️ The lasagne was far too salty (trying to make us drink more?!🤣). 3 had calves liver special just fried liver with very thick and sticky mashed potatoes, no other vegetables and a very small portion of caramelised onion. A gravy would have been better. We had to ask for cutlery after our food was brought to us and there were no napkins. Staff were friendly and general atmosphere was pleasant. No disabled toilet.

I love this place, Coach & Horses under new management, very friendly staff and I love the food, decent portions, and the Salt and Pepper Squid is to die for. Main course is great tasting as well. Fabulous prices.

Had a Sunday roast today I was a hungry bunny! Very sunny day had a choice of eating in or out - we chose in. The food was very prompt, very tasty with all the trimmings. Price was very reasonable, hosts were attentive and nothing too much trouble.

At long last a local pub that welcomes locals and visitors alike. Meghan and Jack although new to the area are wonderful hosts. Simple but tasty bar food. Wonderful young staff that are chatty and happy. So glad we are within walking distance to this treasure. A visit to sit beside the canal on a sunny day is a must. I’m sure winter months will be just us welcoming with a roaring fire.

The toilet facilities - changing baby pull down needed a good clean. No hand soap, just an empty bottle! The large bin in the toilet was overflowing! Really needed a good clean. Just made me think what was the kitchen like !!!!!

We were looking forward to coming back here. We plan it every year to come here because we love it so much! Well what a let down and huge disappointment 😔 this year. We parked up, went inside and registered our vehicle. We then saw 2 waitresses having a laugh and a chat so my husband approached them and said we had a table booked. They looked at him like we ruined a birthday surprise and said well you can sit anywhere. We sat down at a table, no cutlery, no menu. I went and asked for the menu from the bar. A waitress came to our table and said.. oh you have a menu that saves me a job!.. Then asked whether we were ok to order at the bar. The menu did not have a great variety, the device was shocking so we left. On our way out the door, a waiter barged past my husband as he was leaving. If you want to stop for a pint after your pint, then great. But a family visit... Go elsewhere.

Fantastic pub on the Mon Brec Canal. We moored up close by and had dinner. Staff really friendly and couldn’t be more helpful. Food was really tasty and portions were a good size. Pub was really clean and well maintained. Locals were very chatty and friendly. Would definitely stop again if in the area.

We called at 1o'clock in here hoping for a good Sunday lunch,disappointing from start to finish. We ordered drinks at bar very friendly young barman,I ordered half pint cider shandy,he gave me a pint!We asked for a menu,a stained greasy paper menu was handed over,with just Sunday lunch of either Beef or Pork,and was promptly told Beef was off menu! We sat down, waiting to be served,no one came!So hubby went to bar and said,he was told, "oh you need to order at bar"!! We hadn't been told that,neither were there signs to advise that. Ordered the no choice but pork,and then the wait began!!! As I'm in catering myself,I tend to "clock" what's going on!!! I'm sorry to say Coach and Horses,you need a Damned good manager,to teach your staff,how to be a good part of running the place.... We waited for 40mins,a very young girl came to our table carrying one plate,then went away,a couple minutes back again,carrying another,! Then it " do you want sauces",I said we would like gravy and Apple sauce and some cutlery please, so off she went, few mins went by,back with a small gravy boat,then away again, and back with a tiny dish of Apple sauce,away again and then I saw her,go to another table,then she came back with another tiny dish of Apple sauce,...I said we are still waiting for cutlery!,and please could we have more gravy,as there was only enough for 1!!It really was diabolical,, We started to eat,(me without gravy) till 5mins in, the only efficient looking one, walked past,and I asked her for gravy,immediately was fetched. The Pork was burnt on edges,tasteless and very tough. The roast parsnip,burnt and unedible,the sorry state of the veg was to be honest a disgrace to put on the plate,2grey beans,a tiny bit of carrot and just crumbs of cauli. I have to say though the 2roast potatoes were well cooked!! All this time,the table next to us,ordered puddings as we say down and was being served them as we finished our meal. I hate giving reviews usually,as I'm in the same line of work,but watching what was going on and my husband listening to me say OMG watching the girl esp that served us, it really was truly awful. You definitely need someone good as manager,and get these young waitresses to be able to be more efficient and to be able to multi task and think a bit more,like for instance to be able to carry two plates at once,is NOT a hard task. This particular waitress really was pathetic to watch. We are usually quite big tippers,but I refused to leave one this time. Also the toilet that I went to use,had dog crap on the floor,it was disgusting. Me and two other ladies in there refused to use it,so had to wait for for the only other toilet.......and these toilets are not great,extremely small,very tight to close door,very bad for anyone with a disability

We stopped in on the off chance that we could get a late lunch / early dinner. Unfortunately the kitchen had already closed but Jack & Megan, the owners, were more than happy to make a small 'boerewors' (translated from Afrikaans basically means farmers sausage - and is a South African delicacy!) Also expat Saffers, they welcomed us in and made us feel completely welcome - so much so that we went back again, missed the kitchen time yet again, but no problem at all - we were offered very delicious cornish pasties and coleslaw! Highly recommend a visit there!

Weren't seving food when we got there. So had a drink then left. Later received a parking ticket. Apparently you are meant to put your reg no. Into a tablet and pay £5 for 24hrs. No signs to say this and no one at the bar mentioned this when we purchased drinks. Only found out as other people have left reviews and being fined. Scam of a pub.

We booked a table for 13 to celebrate a birthday with a scenic cycle ride along the canal followed by Sunday lunch at the Coach and Horses. I just wanted to say Megan and her super friendly team could not have been more welcoming - from the moment we dropped off the birthday cake at the pub before setting off on our bike ride. The Coach and Horses has all the character you wish for in a perfectly placed canal-side pub in the wonder Brecon Beacons. We initially intended to eat outside and watch the boats go by but Megan booked us an indoor table in case the weather was unkind. It was a toss-up but we stayed indoors and ate at a lovely long table. Sunday lunch was delicious - roast beef or chicken with all the trimmings or an excellent vegetarian option followed by a good variety of puddings. Three of our party were from the junior generation and the pub laid on a perfect lunch to set their taste buds humming. They have some terrific beers and the waiting staff were attentive to all our needs throughout the meal. As I understand it, Megan and Co have only been at the pub for a month or two and had only recently hired a chef before our arrival. But everyone in our party greatly enjoyed the spread they laid on. And I honestly couldn't believe how reasonable the total bill came to. It was well under £20 a head including all our drinks before and during the meal. The pub was pretty full and the atmosphere was warm and friendly. Everyone was relaxed and having fun. I live almost 50 miles but will certainly look forward to another visit to the Coach and Horses next time we go cycling in the area. A huge thanks to all the staff for making our day so special - bravo guys, you're doing a fantastic job. Good luck for the future.

Highly recommend the tapas night at the coach and horses. The food was absolutely amazing, so many dishes to choose from and so so tasty. Staff there were so welcoming and friendly especially Donna who could not do enough for us, we even had a complementary dish brought out to us which was delicious. We will definitely be returning. Looking forward to trying the Italian night next xx

My sister entered a Facebook competition for a tapas night and won, was greeted and taken to our table, made to feel so welcome by all the staff especially Donna who was mixing with all the customers chatting away a very friendly lovely member of staff, the dishes were absolutely delicious and we will definitely be returning here a lovely friendly pub with fab service and fab food definitely recommend. A lovely touch to was the chef even adding a dish of roasted veg to go with the rest of our food. Thank you to all staff for such a lovely welcoming night.

Tried a couple of times but will not be hopeful of 3rd time lucky. The real ale was poorly kept and although we were told the food was excellent, it wasn't. Pity because the setting is excellent and the canalside garden superb.

We often travel to this pub in the summer months for a lovely walk along the canal and a stop off in the picturesque beer garden situated right next to the canal for a cold glass of cider. More recently we have been enjoying evening meals inside the pub where a cosy fire has been lit to take the chill off the winter air and creating a welcoming homely feel. The food served here is outstanding with an amazing selection of fresh fish dishes which are usually only found in coastal locations. Everything is beautifully presented and tastes amazing! The staff are all very friendly and cannot do enough for you always willing to go that extra mile to ensure you have a pleasant experience. The Coach & Horses is a pure gem and we cannot wait to visit again soon.

Excellent Thai themed evening. Wonderful food, set menu with loads of variety. So much food…and all of it was tasty..we needed a break before desert. Hope the prawn toast and chicken satay become menu regulars!

Very good experience on the Thai night, There were two menus (one for those that didn’t want Thai). We had the four course Thai menu which was superb and tasted very authentic. A spicy soup opener followed by a selection of appetisers (chicken satay skewers were delicious, as were the king prawns). 4 dishes made up the main course which were superb followed by a deep fried banana and coconut cream desert. A lot of great food for the £27 p/h cover. Excellent value for the times we’re in.

Staff were very friendly and helpful from the outset!! Food was AMAZING!! Thank you for a lovely evening and keep up the amazing work!! Will definitely return!!

Team had misplaced our booking, not a good start! Food very disappointing, best meal over our Christmas period was a home cooked one! Just received £100 parking fine for parking in pub car park in order to drop off and pick up 92 year old mother! Will not be going again

We turned up today looking a bit bedraggled after a very wet walk along the canal but were greeted warmly and shown to a table despite not having booked and with an equally wet dog in tow! Both the landlady and waitress were very friendly and welcoming and the food was lovely and reasonably priced. I had the seafood chowder which was delicious, and my sons had the pork belly special and the fish and chips - good sized portions for the price. We will definitely return when in the area again.

We are regulars for family lunch when down from London. Always great hospitality and cooking. Should have written earlier, but today's lunch was just exceptional. "Fish and chips" understates the tempuraresque sole with Sean's tartare sauce. But son and I had best ever fresh "seafood chowder" - a gourmet version of the New England version = spoiler alert.

Very disappointed with some of the plates of food served last night. Three out of the six of us ordered the special chowder. Unfortunately, there was nothing special about it. I would not serve a dish like that in my own home. It looked as though it had been frozen, defrosted, reheated and placed under a heat lamp. A member of staff informed us that it always looks like that. Nobody around the table recognised it as chowder. We were offered to order a different dish.

Delicious food ✔️ Huge portions ✔️ Friendly service ✔️ Fresh seafood options ✔️ Well priced ✔️ Dog friendly ✔️ Warm and cosy after a lovely walk ✔️ Quick attentive service ✔️ Room for dessert ❌ Top top marks to Shaun and his team (thank you Alex!) for a super experience we will recommend people travel for. Just brilliant. We WILL be back!

We met friends last Saturday for dinner and had great fish (turbot) and our friends thoroughly enjoyed their Katsu chicken. There was a great atmosphere and we enjoyed great service

I can't speak highly enough of our experience at the Coach and Horses on Thurs 5th October. We were on the canal and neither of us has a new-fangled smart phone so we called in to check on availability, booking, etc.. The staff were taking a break but were very quick to book us a table for an hour later. We took ourselves off for a walk before returning. Our orders were taken promptly by a waitress who was very attentive throughout our meal. The menu was varied and mouth-watering - I'd have enjoyed anything on it! We opted for the pork steak with leaks and mustard and the beef and ale open-topped pie. The food arrived quickly (which is what canal travellers often need, as they are on a schedule, though we'd tied up for the night). All was piping hot and an extra bowl of chips arrived. The portions were very generous, though we ate everything on our plates except the pattern! Beer was excellent and there was no music that drowns conversation in so many pubs these days. All around us were also clearly enjoying their food, the prices were very reasonable and the staff friendly and helpful. I just wish the Coach and Horses was nearer to where we live (Devon) as it's a bit of a drive from here for an evening out! Thanks very much!

Excellent Sunday Lunch .. excellent customer service .. family all had starters , mains and dessert.. The beef and turkey was amazing .. thank you

Food was amazing! Family of 6 had 3 courses and all meals were delicious.. service and welcome was great…will definitely return 👌

I’ve been here for lunch a few times and used to recommend it but recently had such a bad experience I doubt I will ever go back. The food was terrible - very disappointing fish and chips. The staff were dismissive and rude. And to top it off the parking system wasn’t working and we’ve been fined. The pub hasn’t helped at all and claims it’s nothing to do with them. Give this place a miss

A mate and I stayed over the weekend to do some hills. We had a great stay the landlady and landlord we absolutely brilliant nothing was to much trouble. The girls who make up the staff were both friendly and professional and extremely helpful and attentive. The landlord is also the chef and the standard and quality of the food is excellent whilst he is busy in the kitchen he will always between service pop out and come and say hello his wife is also extremely busy taking care of front of house, chatting to guests and making sure everyone is happy, it was an absolute pleasure to stay , I have stayed in a few places in the area over the years and I can say the welcome and hospitality is truly both warming and genuine. I will most definitely be staying again

We rang to book an hour before and although it was extremely busy they fitted us in and we were served quite quickly. Young waitress was lovely. We were asked three times if we were enjoying our meal which was really nice. Portions were really big so I couldn't finish my food but it was lovely. Will be back.

We were greeted with a warm welcome and the meal was absolutely outstanding. Thank you once again for such a lovely stay. We will be visiting again soon! Hannah and Antony.

Camping in wales last week and booked a Sunday lunch at this pub. It was very busy in there but the service was brilliant. The roast was really lovely and filling and the staff were extremely friendly too

Went here on the 17th May firstly, the day we were allowed to go inside to eat. It was so exciting to do something normal again. The staff and the food we’re just brilliant. We had the wild sea bass for 2 people. Stunning. We were so impressed we booked to go back with friends on the Friday. We all went for the fish dishes as this place have an extensive menu with many fish dishes on offer. Turbot, sea bass, fish platters with lobster. Wow! Thanks to Donna and the team. This place also has a brilliant deli too. Just wished we lived closer. All the best and we hope 2021 is a better year for you, you deserve it

Popped in for a light lunch, we had dressed crab and the garlic mushroom tartlet and a side of sweet potato fries. Service is as you would expect in these difficult times, very pleasant staff and was happy to wait. Look forward to coming back and having few more drinks and enjoy the view, had school run to do so only has limited time.

Little bit disappointed, was overcharged for two meals instead of one. My partner had to go back twice to get the matter resolved, if I hadn’t checked (and checked again) it would have been missed. Waiter put chips down on a bump in the table and so when I went to pick them up the bowl tipped and they all fell on the floor! Setting is nice and the garlic bread made up for it!

Just very poor in general, such a strange set up. As you enter, you walk through a little deli area, which is nice....then there’s a random TV playing with people watching and the restaurant area just beyond that. Service was OK, but food was poor in every sense. Badly cooked - very amateur. Considering the area the Coach & Horses are located, they really need to improve drastically in order to compete with neighboring restaurants in Crickhowell & Talybont.Wound not recommend for a meal, useful for a drink in the summer in their beer garden in front of the river, but that’s about it. A real shame.

We travelled July 2019 before the Covid hit us. We were on a 5 week canal holiday, from NZ, and this was to be our last canal on the journey. The Coach & Horses was a short walk from our mooring spot and was extremely busy on a warm sunny evening, and a Sunday at that. We had no trouble acquiring an outside table and were quickly served with delicious meals and drinks. which we enjoyed whilst watching the families of kids paling in the play area across the road. The staff were busy but really friendly and didn't seem phased by the throng of patrons. If I could have a chance I would certainly come back for another great meal at this lovely country pub.

Reserved a Sunday lunch for 3 for 1.00pm. Arrived early but our table was ready. Two roast beef dinners and Haddock. Beef , delicious and plentiful , fish cooked just right and both came with a variety of vegetables , and plenty of them. Their salted caramel cheese cake was the perfect desert .Simply put , an excellent meal. The staff were very pleasant and helpful and our meals came in plenty of time. All necessary Covid requirements were strictly adhered to , the Inn felt very safe. Will 100% be back when next near the area , if not , definitely in the summer to enjoy the local countryside and another meal.

Wonderful service and fantastic food. Very warm and welcoming staff with a homely and comfortable atmosphere. Our second time visiting was just as lovely as our first; we’ll definitely be back!

My boyfriend and I went for food on 25th September. We decided to both have the "special" of monkfish, with patatas bravas and greens. It came out and we were disappointed with the presentation, to start with. The monkfish was overcooked. The "patatas bravas" appeared to be deep fried potato cubes with a slight sprinkling of paprika, which tasted like they came from Aldi frozen food section. The "greens" consisted of 3 tiny, overcooked asparagus sprigs. We politely asked the waitress for more greens but she never came back. This terrible meal cost almost £18 per head. We don't mind paying a lot of money for food but for the quality if this meal, they should have charged no more than £5. We will NEVER return which is a shame.

We popped in for lunch I had the fish and chips and my wife had the garlic mushrooms and a crab cocktail. The portions were fantastic and the food tasted and looked beautiful. Also felt really safe as the COVID procedures they had in place were very good . Can’t wait to go back.

Excellent food in a safe and cosy atmosphere. Friendly staff. COVID precautions in place but they didn’t overwhelm the experience. Looking forward to the next visit.

This was one of our first nights out for six months and we were apprehensive. We needn’t have worried though as the arrangements made were excellent. The meal was beautifully prepared and cooked and tasted sublime. The Staff were busy but we’re very friendly and attentive. The steak was amazing and we will be back soon. Thank you

We stayed at a cottage nearby so came here most days for a coffee while out walking in the area, luckily the weather was very kind so were happy to sit outside - if you want to go inside you have to have food ( think it needs to be full meals not sandwiches or snacks) the beer garden outside is lovely and you can sit and have food and drink in there ( not drinks only though) its a bit confusing but hey ho it confusing times!!We booked a table for 4 people and our pup on a Monday night - friendly staff greeted us and service was quick and very efficient.I had Grey Mullet and it was absolutely delicious my other half had a wonderful succulent gammon steak, another meal was HUGE fish and chips.Clean plates alround.Only 1 pudding which was ginger sponge - my brother in law said is was gorgeous.It got pretty busy while we were in there so think booking is advisable.Plenty of good wine and beer and a very reasonable bill at the end of it.We will definitely go back when we holiday in LLangynidr next year.Thank you

Recently visited with family waited over an hour for our order to be taken. Food arrived the order was wrong also tried to charge us for food we didn’t have! Staff abrupt and rude. Much better places to eat in the area!!

If you are looking for a warm and friendly welcome to take your mind of the current climate then this is not the place for you. We arrived with the Welsh government recommended four households and was immediately told it had to be two households, when asked since when as we had not been told this on booking we were met with “do you not watch the news” and turned away. I understand that some places may have their own rules but these surely would need to be told before arriving or on booking, not to be told at the door that we needed to watch the news when in fact the owners themselves should be watching the news. Haven’t eaten at this establishment and don’t think we ever will, couldn’t not recommend enough.

Managed to get a booking for a table over BH weekend, nicely put together space and restaurant and able to adhere to COVID restrictions. Straightforward menus and well presented and tasty food. Had the salmon and clam spaghetti and steak between us, nice and nice cold draught cider.

The Coach and Horses is an absolute gem. We went for an early dinner last Thursday. We shared the squid for starter, I had the port and Stilton beef and my fiancée had the seafood chowder, and we finished off by sharing the brownie and a coffee. The food was the best we've had all trip! The squid was very tasty, the beef was tender albeit well done/?slow cooked, and the chowder was delicious. As for the brownie, we're wishing we could go back for seconds! The service was very speedy and attentive, and the decor and ambience of the place was lovely. Thanks for a lovely dinner. We would highly recommend.

Lovely welcome and seriously good seafood chowderAfter calling round pretty much all of the Crickhowell pubs, I found this place on trip advisor. They managed to squeeze me and the dog in for an early doors table, which was great considering it was a bank holiday weekend. The dog was made such a fuss of and bribed with lots of treats.The seafood chowder was just perfect on a cold rainy day, and was washed down with a pint of local ale.I have one regret... I hoped to visit the deli the following day but after a fair few hours in the hills I just wanted to get on and start the long drive home. I will definitely be visiting again next time I’m in the area.

Called in today for a stop to stretch our legs after a lovely ride. Had the most unwelcome experience on entering. We were told to find a seat outside and someone would come to take our order. We sat for a considerable time were not served. The beer garden opposite was reserved for meals only, but was empty. What used to be a lovely pub has been ruined by the lack of customer service and the rude attitude of the staff. We have been to many outside spaces in the last few weeks and have had lovely social distancing service, but the attitude today was disgusting. The attitude of the car parking signs was also offensive.

We visited the deli next door for lunch, we were offered a grazing platter. It was so delicious, filled with cheeses, hams, breads, chutneys, olives and all sorts. really lovely staff, we even made a lovely pesto pasta with the left overs for dinner.

Beautiful setting , lovely staff. However only one veggie meal on menu and not available on arrival ,Advised chef could put together a veggie curry although when it came was not a curry but a ratatouille, food very average , very expensive starters,

Lovely pub serving great food! The portions are huge and everything was so tasty and well presented! I would highly recommend this pub! Fab atmosphere and the staff were fantastic!

Lunch yesterday was excellent and the pub is dealing really well with all the additional COVID precautions. Well done.

Nice pint of Rev James. Glass of sauvignon blanc sent back. Pinot grigio not a lot better (about the quality of a £3 bottle in the supermarket). Food OK but nothing special. Very limited gluten free options. Service was great.

Table of 4 booked during a extremely hot and humid evening and we were greeted by some very friendly but very hot staff, our starter order was 2x garlic mushrooms and 2 x salt and pepper squid and both meals were fantastic, mains was 3 steaks which were perfectly cooked and they even made some peppercorn sauce quickly for us even though we asked after steaks were brought out and a coach chicken which i think they either forgot the brie in the middle of it leaked out during cooked but the bacon and mushroom sauce it was served with more than made up for it, all staff looked like they were struggling in the heat but remained friendly helpful and very efficient, upon leaving they even open up the deli for me to have a look around and will certainly be back there so make some purchases.nice touch with a cold water tower and plenty of hand sanitizer stations around the pub.overall great evening great food and great service

Had a lovely evening meal here, both my partner and I had the tempura hake which was beautiful and came with plenty of chips and peas. Desserts were fantastic and well presented. Beautiful pub in lovely surroundings, looking forward to visiting again.

Had the special menu on a Tuesday and I was impressed with the choice.Starter was lovely. Main course bangers and mash was ok. I suspect it had been bought in. Dessert lovely! The staff were extremely helpful despite being under pressure. I’ll be going again Saturday with my wife and daughter!

Saw a few good reviews that this business had shared on social media, so thought would try them out and give them support! Wish I hadn’t bothered now, they are part of the eat out help out scheme, but this business decides what you can eat on that and gives you a small menu already reduced in price and I must add also portion size, they also don’t include soft drinks in this offer, and if your gluten-free please be very careful, their idea of gluten-free is that you can’t eat bread, pasta, nan bread and papadum, this is stated on their menu saying all other dishes are gluten-free! But they have scampi, battered cod, onion rings, and chips on their menu non are gluten-free free! Also they have great difficulty in telling you what ingredients are in their foods for you to check! Any way we ordered the soup of the day carrot and coriander, garlic mushrooms and salt and pepper squid to start! Out came cauliflower soup with stale bread, garlic mushrooms on stale bread and one with out the bread for the gf member of our party, and 3 salt and pepper squid, very disappointed they forgot to put the garlic in the mushrooms, the salad on the side was all limp, and the soup wasn’t even carrot and coriander, it was all poor and not great in taste!Next we had the special £18 steak strips in a sauce with seasonal veg and chips, their burger @ £15 both not on the menu for the 50% off government scheme! Well the steak came out!! 6 slices of tough steak in a so called sauce and the seasonal veg was frozen peas!! that’s it £18 The burger was over cooked and dry very difficult to eat! Our gf could only have the gammon with no chips cause the Cook them in the same oil as scampi, and other gluten products, so the offered new potatoes, well they come out 3 potatoes cut in half very hard, dry and black, the gammon was very tough and salty. Out bill came to over £80 and I got to say it was one of the worst meals we have ever eaten for the money! So we certainly wouldn’t recommend there are much better pubs, just down the road from this place, so I suggest you just keep going and head to another.

Beautiful meal out at the coach and horses, first meal out since lockdown and it didn’t disappoint. Socially distanced tables & super clean throughout, sanitizer stations readily available too so felt very safe.

Such a lovely place, the staff really have a handle on distancing and safe service. We booked in advance and stayed in the car park in our camper van. Lovely vegan option and a good understanding of vegan requests. My partner had the posh fish and chips and said it was delicious.Friendly, hard working staff who really couldn’t do enough for us. Thank you, we will definitely be back!

Really fast and very friendly service. Great food (review initiated by 8 & 10 yr old whilst having desert!) in a lovely setting. Definitely a come again trip for the whole family.

7 of us came for Sunday lunch, we were taking my elderly dad out for the first time since lockdown. Lovely location and day however it was overshadowed by the attitude of a member of staff. Also we were given the wrong meal and when my sister mentioned this to the owner his manner was so rude. Won’t be in a hurry to return.

Me and the wife had a takeway Sunday dinner and it was tremendous! Beef was amazing and the gravy was to die for

We’d booked a meal for Mother’s Day at the Coach and Horses and unfortunately due to the current situation we were unable to go. However the pub offered a takeaway service which we took up. The food, as always was delicious. The chicken tikka skewers as a starter were so tasty, the roast lamb lush and the puddings were awesome.

Shown to table, no mention of certain items on menu that were not available,made order only then too be told items where not available.Only when we decided to leave did the items, "we were all having the same" become available. The meal fish and chips were delicious. The lady owner non apologetic, very unfriendly. We will not return.

Stopped by on the off chance of getting a table for Sunday Lunch and were quickly shown to our table. The staff were polite and welcoming. My husband and I both ordered the cauliflower soup to start and although it was delicious it wasn't very hot. When the main meal came the three of us had different meats and all were lovely but we only had one small dish of veg between us and needless to say we were a little disappointed.Overall the meal was lovely and have had meals here before and they have been really good but I don't think I would rush back for Sunday lunch again.

Six of us went for a few drinks mid-week at about 7.30pm. Prices were way above the norm for South Wales ( Guinness was £4.95 a pint ) so a round of six drinks was approx £25 ( we were not all drinking Guinness! ). I wanted to buy round number five at 10.15pm and was told they had stopped serving.

Me and my partner have been several times of the past 3 years with my children , today I took my parents and sister up to the coach and horses, we arrived late , but the lady’s behind the bar was accomadating, we had 11 meals in total and 10 deserts and it was absolulty outstanding ! Food/effort/ presentation , it did not disappoint! Credit to the chefs !! Every one had eaten it all! Desserts was amazing too! We was so chuffed the family enjoyed the pub as much as me and my partner! The waitresses are amazing they work extremely hard and are attentive! hats off to them! The pub is in a beautiful position with a small park across from it, and the canals we love doing the walks in the summer. Great location! All in all 10/10 for everything guys ur doing amazing job will b back up in the spring term!!

Good selection of food,well cooked and presented.staff and owners very friendly.excellent location on side of canal,ideal for walkers and bikers

Arrived after our six mile walk, had great 'posh' fish and chips at this cosy location. Live music and room for our dog!The landlord tried to organise a taxi for us back to Crickhowell, however there were none available. Thinking we might have to trek back on foot the landlord drove us back to Crickhowell and wouldn't take a penny. Thankful for the kindness of strangers.

a warm and welcoming pub, excellent food and great beer, well worth a visit for the wonderful food. Staff friendly and can't do enough for you

Good pub nice beer, had a meal which was very average. Ordered at the table, took quite a while for the main course to arrive BUT the vegetables to go with it took another 10 minuets before arriving slightly cold and very under cooked. Waitress was pretty poor, very pleasant but not really up to the job. No one seemed certain what 'gluten free' was when it came to main course.

Three of us went for lunch on very wet and cold day and our visit brighten our day Warm welcoming bar and very pleasant lady greeted us. Felt comforable right away. Food was really nice well cooked well presented and enjoyed by all. Would recommend

visited as we walked from brecon to crichwell. was getting cold and hungry and needed cake!

Wow, where do I start? What a super place to relax.

We have eaten here twice while holidaying on a canal boat. Pleasant and comfortable surroundings, friendly welcome, good service and excellent food. The portions were very generous and quality of meat and fish very good. Delicious!! Thank you.

This pub is very close to the canal. In fact their beer garden is adjacent to the canal. A great place to spend a sunny afternoon watching the world go by!

We arrived mid week whilst staying on the Mon & Brec Canal. The menu read well although there were some dishes (steak) that we’re not available.

What a joy! Good atmosphere and good food and drink. Perhaps one of the best steaks I have ever eaten. Service was good and friendly – remarkable as they had a very large party to cater and yet, the rest of us on our tables of twos and fours, still had perfect service.

Visited this friendly pub with nine mates on a walking weekend. As soon as we entered the landlord Sean was quick to serve us and find a table for ten which we hadn't booked.

We stopped in for dinner on our way as we cruised down the Mon-Brec canal on a narrowboat. Easily this was our best and most delicious meal in the week we were on the canal. Highly recommend. Try the lamb trio, the lamb was very well prepared, so tender and the lamb sausage was delicious.

Called in at The Coach and Horses tonight with the family, very warm welcome off Sean, Jackie and staff. Clean tidy and warm, choice of menu excellent, service time excellent, quality of food oustanding,very well priced, anyone looking for a good evening give Sean at The Coach and Horses first choice.

Just got back from Sunday lunch here, what a wonderful welcome and the food was to die for. Even my sister, who can be a bit fussy thoroughly enjoyed her day. The only downside was they didn't have any windberry tart on the menu for my brother in law.! but he's been spoilt all his life and he's 83yo. He enjoyed his cup of tea though.

We were not acknowledged when we arrived even though the bar person looked at us when we walked through the door. We waited ages to be served whilst the two bar persons laughed about a customer who told them the best way to make a cappuccino. We asked for a baguette to be told that they didn't have any but we were offered a ciabatta instead. The advertising stated wide choice of fillings to which they only had cheese and onion / cheese and tomato. We were told that they had no other choices at all.

Hi tried to selected something else from the menu but still had the posh fish and chips with mushy peas

Stopped here in a Saturday lunchtime while boating on the canal.

This is one of my favourite gastro-pubs but last night raised the question of how you keep standards up when the top team has a night off. The Sunday lunch service was, we were told, hectic and busy, so the first team had the evening off. This was apparent when we walked in and the manager who is excellent front-of-house was not there.

Had a great Sunday lunch today at the Coach even though it was so busy busy ! Food was being served to the beer gardens opposite , outside area , pub and the restaurant .Service was excellent and food was lovely with veg hot and plentiful ,credit to all the serving staff and chefs for a very enjoyable Bank holiday lunch !

Booked late on a Friday for a celebration night due to unforseen circumstances.

Had food here today fab as usual we love food and atmosphere here, very often think we will go somewhere else for a change but always end up here because never disappointed and alwaysget a warm welcome from Donna. Great place will be back soon

An enjoyable time spent in the beer garden watching the comings and goings on the canal after a walk to the locks. Wished we'd had time to try the fabulous looking Sunday dinners.

We called when passing by around lunch time, wow, what great food and very, big portions. I can recommend the posh fish and chips. We will be back next time we are in this area.

i visited here a few months back and it’s fair to say i was not disappointed. the food was absolutely delicious and they served a good amount too! being a vegetarian myself i did see that there weren’t too many veggie/vegan options available. however i cannot fault the food i was given, i also would like to comment on how friendly the staff were towards me. i found them very welcoming and able to have a laugh with their customers which is always good. x

This was an opportunity to meet up with friends to catch up on news and plan for an event for May 2020.

Having visited here last month expecting some nice food and service,We were left very disappointed.Although the food was ok it was nothing special certainly not worth the money in my opinion.However the service was where this place was a huge letdown,would say we had a terrible welcome but there was no welcome at all,very frosty from the owner/manager,her attitude was terrible,which seems to flow down to the waitresses.Which is a real shame because this place could be a real gem with a change of management and a good old friendly welcome,it costs nothing to be nice
