Coach and Horses in Bristol, City of - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

What a gem. Top notch food at a reasonable price considering it's location, though even better, are the excellent, down to earth, friendly and helpful staff. We've introduced every man and his dog to this place, can't recommend enough as one of our Bristol Sunday roast favourites, have returned multiple times. Pork belly is excellent, nut roast occasionally a little dry but very tasty and made up for with lashings of bottomless gravy. Slight draw back, no Bristol beers on tap :-( . But the staff make up for it in friendliness.

I had a great Sunday lunch here today with my family. AMAAAAZING yorkshire puddings. Sian the landlady is the best landlady around, so welcoming, full of energy and an absolute sunshine. Staff really lovely and attentive and a wonderful atmosphere

The best ever Sunday lunch! We were a group of 8 the food was served promptly and perfectly. Large portions with unlimited vegetables and gravy. We had all of the main choices between us and everyone agreed the food was delicious. The staff and service excellent, the environment comfortable and relaxing. Sorry I didn’t photograph my food, but really highly recommend this Sunday lunch treat!

We had a chicken supreme roast and a beef roast with duck salad as a starter and sticky toffee pudding as a dessert. One of the best roast I had for long time, good amount of food for the price. Lovely service, lovely sunny Spot ☺️

Discovered this place by accident looking for a different pub to have Sunday Lunch. We were 2 adults and 2 Children aged 6 . Upon entering we found staff friendly and efficient. There was a small sofa with a few games on the table which is a lovely touch for Children. And the quirky decor a nice focus point. The menu is a bit over priced in my opinion for a pub think Roast was £18pp 25% discount for child portion. We both decided to share our plates with the children instead (and there is definitely enough to do this). Wasn't a lot of option Beef/Chicken/Nut roast V I think (Tbh price almost put us off but we were all very hungry so decided to stay) That being said the quality of the food was high standard (We both had Beef Roast) and veg is unlimited we were told so would be replenished on request (as initially a small boat of veg was brought to the table between us) The gravy was really tasty and sweet potato crisps that's served in the big Yorkshire were moorish. The Meat portion was good and cooked well. I would definitely dine here again as I really enjoyed my meal, it's not a budget family option but it's worth the money for the quality of food. And prob one of the best places I've had a Roast in a long time Pros: Good food, Efficient service, Clean, Friendly, quirky decor, games Cons: Limited Menu, Expensive

Have been this week with freinds. Lovely staff and food was perfect and affordable. Will definitely visit again

Great pub quizzes, lovely bar staff, always a fun night

Went for the pub quiz last Monday. What a delight! Drinks were reasonably priced compared to the rest of Bristol and the vegan options were really good. It’s got a really nice atmosphere and the staff were super friendly – big shout out to Molly who went above and beyond! Heard the Sunday roast is to die for so will definitely be swinging back round.

Came in this week with some friends. The staff were so so friendly and said there had been some changes this week because of head chef being on holiday but the food was brilliant!! The sausage rolls on the bar were so good. Will be back next Sunday for the roasts :))

Came on a Saturday evening, menu is really limited and wasn’t what we’d found via the Facebook page. Took 45 minutes for a pizza and a hotdog, asked for no mustard but came with & without the onions. Pizza was okay. Shame because the Sunday roast is amazing and we often bring visitors there! Disappointed to say the least.

Great start to our night out. Good atmosphere

Good food, good location, good prices

Super friendly staff, serving super amazing Sunday Roasts. The beef was great, but the pork was truly magnificent - tender, juicy and the crackling was to die for. Gravy and Yorkshire pudding were the best I've had in the UK, with the potatoes just so well made. 4 different sauces - Apple, mint, honey mustard and horseradish were all house-made and super rich. The starters were impressive too! Buffalo wing was spicer than I thought but absolutely bearable. Mac and Cheese bites is hard to go wrong, with extra cheese dip that has a unique seasoning. Had good drinks recommendations too, and offered to let me try a few while I decided.

Came in for lunch a few weeks ago and it was amazing, the food trumped some actual restaurants I've been to and the locals and staff were all friendly

Delicious roast and a good homemade vegan option available too, so everyone in our party was happy. Really great service and very dog friendly too.

My friend have an annual trip to Bristol & visited the coach and horses Bristol after reading many reviews on where to find a Sunday lunch.We booked online to avoid disappointment and we certainly were not disappointed. The Pub is very relaxed and comfortable and the food is absolutely amazing. It was Belly pork for both of us with extra cauliflower cheese followed by crème brûlée because we had to have a rest in between our courses and the sticky toffee pudding with custard had all gone 😩 We certainly will be visiting again, and the roast dinner was one of the best that we’ve ever had. The staff were absolutely lovely making you feel as though you’ve been there every week . A definite recommendation for excellent food and comfortable atmosphere & thank you very much for a really lovely afternoon.

A great pub with awesome staff! I literally had the best roast dinner I have ever had 😍

A quirky pub and restaurant hidden away behind and near the top of Black Boy Hill. Often very busy with a noisy, buzzy atmosphere. It's really quite nice and good for Sunday lunch. Best to book in advance.

Great gluten free roast including Yorkshire pudding and gravy as well as cauliflower cheese - just missing the beer to finish it off! Dog friendly and super helpful staff!

What a little hidden gem! So happy we have found this place, hands down the best roast dinner we have ever had. We immediately felt welcome as soon as we walked in, this place is owned by such lovely down to earth people who were super accommodating and friendly. I think it’s safe to say we will be back very soon - 10/10 !!!

Went for a valentines dinner and had the most amazing food and service 10/10 will definitely be back for more food!!

We make a 40 mile round trip for the coach and horses Sunday roast! You will not be disappointed. The pork belly is to die for. Crispy skin on the pork which is seasoned to perfection. Amazing homemade Yorkshire pudding and a great selection of fresh vegetables. The staff are super friendly and helpful definitely worth a visit.

Great Sunday lunch in this hidden gem. Nice atmosphere and cheery greeting on arrival. Lots of well behaved dogs dotted around which we liked. We had beef and belly pork and everyone enjoyed them and the extra veggies and tasty gravy. Service was generally good but with a few minor niggles, long wait for one of our desserts and a forgotten horseradish sauce but staff were very busy. We will definitely return.

Good honest food, friendly staff, historically interesting premises.

An excellent example of a GREAT family run pub. Tucked away from the bustle of the traffic in Highland Square, the Coach & Horses has a great pub atmosphere whilst still being clean and having class. Taps are clean, drinks are fresh and fair priced for Bristol. Food is excellent. Other great things include: - Student deals. - Freshly home baked pastries. - Regular events almost every night of the week. - Games to play. On top of that the Coach & Horses have a history of supporting local football teams and communities and is known by a lot in the area as a great ‘proper’ pub.

Amazing food, never had been in and so glad we did. Best roast I’ve eaten in ages and massive. We had a newborn and everyone was so kind and welcoming to us. Lovey staff! Will come back again for the lovely atmosphere too. Would love some baby changing facilities though, would be so helpful :)

Great Sunday lunch. Pork belly was excellent. Good sign of a great Sunday lunch are the yorkshires which were exceptional. Gravy and veg rounded it off Thanks

Had 3 Sunday lunches here. Every one the same ,stunning the gravy is to die for .This week will be the 4th one. Staff and atmosphere was lovely.

We visited our son, who is in Bristol Uni. He was recommended this place for Sunday lunch by a friend. Well, what a delight, Firstly, the staff are so lovely and polite. There was nothing that was too much trouble for them and made us all feel welcome, even though it was a late Sunday lunch, they accommdated us with a lovely welcome smile. The Sunday lunch was so delicious. Very tasty and the gravy was the best i have tasted for a very long time. Apparently, its home made :) The presentation of the food was excellent and it could have been served to us in a 5 star hotel. The land lady & land lord were lovely too. We had fun after the meal trying to spin the hoops over the ladies legs outside the front of the pub. That was an ended bit of fun :) We will be back...... Best wishes the Jenkins (Wales)

Scotch egg and Korean chicken were exceptional. Pork belly, Fish and chips best we've had in a while. Unfortunately the price of the Biscoff rocky Road at £9.00 for 2 squares to take away were not that tasty. Sorry😫

Came in for a roast on sunday! Great selection on the menu starts, mains and desserts! We had a pork roast and it was so yummy!! Also what Amazing service! Shout out to the team for being so on it the whole time! Definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a pint and amazing food!

Great little local pub. Bar staff are all friendly and the landlady is great. Would highly recommend. SPR team

Pleasant local with friendly service

The food was excellent - especially the big Burger menu!!! A good choice of food. Service was amazing, the lady serving us was 10/10. Smiley, friendly and very happy to help!

Delicious food and very friendly staffs👍

Been to this place a few times, and their Sunday roast and normal food are just incredible. Great selection of beers and ales as well. Highly suggest it if you're in the area!

Popped in on the off chance they'd have space for sunday lunch. Was delighted to discover that they do everything gluten free (including yorkshires and cauliflower cheese)! Serving staff were lovely and very on top of things relating to allergens. Food was tasty and very big portions. Would definitely recommend :)

To be fair, it was a wet and drizzly day in Bristol so there was hardly anyone in, but the place did smell a bit off and the Atlantique pale ale was either off or just unpleasant. Toilets need updating. Decent outside space though. Wasn't keen to eat there due to the general odour. Work to be done here.

A friendly and welcoming pub. Food delicious - we had the Southern Fried Chicken special. Also joined in the Monday night quiz which was great fun.

Had the best lunch I’ve ever had in Bristol at the coach and horses. The Sunday lunch was out of this world. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone whether local or visitor

We came here for a Sunday roast and it was absolutely lovely, great service and a top roast

Toller, freundlicher Pub an einem ganz ruhigen Platz, mit Terrasse und Grill

Great little pub. Try the sunday roast. Outstanding

Great pub in bristol! Went to look at the pub as a potential Christmas party venue for our work Christmas party and ended up staying for a lovely lunch outside in the sun! Everyone there was really friendly, helpful and inviting.

Lovely pub in the heart of clifton with nice outdoor seating too on a lovely day. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere

What a great little spot tucked away and yet so handy to everything. Staff and other customers are so friendly. If you're after privacy this probably isn't for you lol🤣

Reasonably friendly nice pub , friendly barman , made to feel welcome, dogs are allowed.

Good Sunday roast, tucked away from busy streets so quiet ish spot. Would recommend

First time here...seems like a nice old trad pub. Bought two pints...cost 9.90. I remember a few years ago I was amazed to get charged a tenner for two pints in Brighton...now it's commonplace. Best plan is to park on the downs and wander down as there isn't much on-street parking.

Top notch,just gets better every time I visit.

So happy the Coach & Horses, recently refurbished and with new decor, is open again and serving food ! Had just the best experience last weekend! With time running out to book a table for my pescatarian Mum - been having little joy finding suitably tantalisingly sounding fish of the day options, all that changed when I called the Coach & Horses and spoke to the new General Manager, Sian. She asked for my number and said she’d call back after she’s spoken to her chef - he should have received his fresh fish for the day by then. Minutes later, Sian called back and read off a delicious sounding sea bass with caper and butter sauce, fresh veg…. I knew Mum would love it. Sold / booked! We arrived less than half an hour later and the unexpected bonus was what it was mild and sunny. We sat outside. It was lovely. Though March, I could feel the warm sun on my face. More than happy days!! Sian served us. Always smiling, always attentive. And the food… oh my word!! The kitchen and the chef! I went for the pork belly and panna cotta - tasted even better than the pics!! Sadly, didn’t get a pic of mother’s sea bass but I’ll be back soon, no doubt. I rarely post on TA, I know I’ll be posting another for this wonderful establishment very soon!

Best roast dinner I’ve had in Bristol I reckon! The lamb is unreal.

A very pleasant place for a meal & drink. The owners are friendly & welcoming, the food is freshly cooked & plentiful (Sunday lunch is especially recommended) & service is top notch. Well worth a visit.

Delicious Sunday lunch and friendly staff. My husband was easily able to order gluten free options.

We had an excellent Sunday lunch. The beef was beautiful and locally sourced and all the trimmings were delicious. My sister also enjoyed her vegetarian but roast. Staff are welcoming, relaxed and eager to please. I look forward to returning again with our dog in tow. Thank you for a very lovely Sunday afternoon.

Went here for a Sunday lunch. Amazing food, lovely service. Well worth it and will come again!

we have to give this place 5 stars for everything from the service of the lovely lady who greeted and served us, to the quality of the food and value for money. We had 1 vegan roast dinner and 1 veggie, the best I’ve had in the Bath/Bristol area. Everything was perfect - only comment I would make was due to the 1 roast being vegan, a number of items were taken off (cauli cheese & Yorkshire pud I believe) but nothing was subbed - perhaps an extra spoonful of red cabbage or an extra roast potato would of made the plate seem a little fuller? But honestly we’ll be back time & time again, and have already recommended the pub to numerous people in the Bristol area.

New ownership going very well so far. Lovely welcoming staff, new lunch menu is great and I look forward to trying the amazing looking roasts soon!

Under new management. Sunday lunch was so tasty and good value. Perfect Yorkshires and plenty of gravy. Great atmosphere and dogs allowed

Haven't been for a while as there us a lot of choice in this area, frontage has been refreshed and looks loads better. Popped in on a Monday and they had 25% off everything which is a pretty good deal. Only had a drink so can't comment on food

The newly launched menu leaves you spoilt for choice but the specials sounded really special… and they were. We had a fillet steak and lamb shank both with the most gorgeous rich sauces, a delicious tower of triple cooked chips with the steak and sublime dauphinois potatoes with the lamb. We will definitely be back. The staff made excellent recommendations of wine and starters, we had planned to skip pudding but the special again dragged us in and so glad we went for it. Amazing value and far better than usual pub fayre!

Amazing food, friendly staff! I visited this amazing pub with my girlfriend for some dinner. We were made to feel instantly at home by the staff and were very impressed by the food. I had the burger and it was divine. And a 15% student discount made the night ! Would absolutely recommend!

I don’t normally write reviews but I feel the Sunday lunch we had today deserves the highest praise! All 4 roasts were absolutely delicious with perfect roasties, perfectly cooked meat and an amazing selection of vegetable side dishes! The icing on the cake was the wonderful service, we were made to feel so welcome and especially loved the little plate of dog treats for our dog. We will most definitely be back…..thanks again and keep up the good work 💜

We needed to find a dog friendly place for lunch when visiting our son and came across the Coach and Horses. So glad we did!! The new owners are exceptional - very friendly front of house and top notch food. Calamari starters were tasty, not at all rubbery - lovely! We had beer battered fish and chips - beautifully presented, excellent home made tartare sauce, the lightest of beer batter on a fabulous chunky piece of fish. Chips were hand cut and hadn’t seen a freezer. My son’s steak was a sound piece of meat, perfectly cooked and good quality. Decor needs a refresh but this is on the owner’s agenda - but atmosphere good and food worthy of any fancy gastropub! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this pub and I wish the new owners every success with their venture. The Coach and Horses will definitely be our go-to whenever we are in Bristol.

What a surprise! This pub is under brand new owners and the food was stellar. I am a vegetarian and I had arancini and butternut squash with a mushroom ketchup that was exceptional. My husband had a hand made meat burger which he loved. Well kept beer and lovely cheerful service. We will definitely be back!

Had a lovely impromptu lunch here today - new management team front of house & in the kitchen - well worth a visit after a blow on the downs or for a swift one! Highly recommended

Did it right, searched various other options but couldn't get a table, this one will be up there with the best in Bristol. Proper gravy, great service, really good food. My favourite new roast. It's gonna get popular!

Nice pub to watch rugby union in Bristol.

Very enjoyable Sunday lunch today 🍴 Great pub and great atmosphere Friendly, welcoming and relaxing Will be returning soon! 👍

Decent vegan roast dinner. Friendly staff

Great local pub off the main road. Nice atmosphere.

We had Fish chowder and Steak .The food was very good , good portion sizes. Great service too

Great food, great beer, great people, great chessboard.

Great food, service and beer but for me, with a deaf aid, no problem at all turning the music off. Thankyou so much. Great selection of rolls and fine beer.

Superb Sunday roast lunch. Plenty of different and delicious veg, cauliflower cheese was excellent, Yorkshire pudding was like a tiny chef’s hat. Staff very friendly and attentive without being overbearing. Great experience.

Fabulous food & service - We were in Bristol celebratimg our sons graduation - we would highly recommend.

Great food, great atmosphere, lovely staff and dogs are welcomed too

Got a 'Too Good To Go' box from here for just over £4. It's great that this pub takes part in reducing food waste. I was very impressed with the large pork belly! I was even given a choice between chicken and pork, which is appreciated. Portion was fantastic, have some veggies left over. Many thanks!

Great place, very friendly staff. Good selection of drinks and generally good vibe. Tuesday quiz is a bonus. We’ve been couple of times and really enjoyed it. Also, dog friendly which means we can bring our little pup over. 5 out of 5!

Good atmosphere. Staff were pleasant. Wife had the steak which she said was beautiful. I had the fish chowder, was tasty . Unfortunately the portion was the size of a starter and didn't contain much fish or lobster. On the plus side it was very tasty. If the size increases then I would definitely recommend 👌. Thanks Arthur

Amazing place. Food is always superb, staff are very friendly, has a very homely and welcoming feel.

The staff here are lovely. This pub is so cosy and welcoming, always a good pick-me-up if you’ve had a naff day at work or whatever. Food here is great too (at least the Sunday roast is, judging by the delicious pork belly and AMAZING deep fried Mars bar). Malbec fab too. A great spot!

Great quiz on a Tuesday night. Yummy wine and great selection of food (snacks... All the snacks.. especially the onion rings). Super friendly staff, always welcoming would definitely recommend.

Accidentally left owing them for a beer the other day, sorry, I'll be back asap to pay for it. Lovely place, nice staff, good food and drink. Thanks again

Live locally to the Coach and Horses and knew it was under new management and always like to support local businesses and we weren't disappointed. The food was of a very high standard, loved the desserts in particular, and as a vegetarian and gluten-free customer, I am not the easiest to please, but staff were very friendly and helpful. Will definitely go back and the fact that it is pet friendly, as a dog-lover, this is just an added bonus!

Amazing Sunday Roast! This pub has really transformed since new management, had a fantastic Sunday roast with all the trimmings, cannot fault a thing! Lovely sun terrace and selection of drinks available - staff were so friendly and even provide a water bowl and treats for the doggies! If you haven’t tried the new menu you are really missing out!

Sun trap at the front, great food and friendly staff. Lovely traditional pub in a perfect spot near the Downs.

I have been coming into the coach and horses pub since the re opening last year. Always a friendly welcome every-time I visit. Good beer and amazing food!!!! Quiz nights, chess nights are very good too.

Absolutely top notch food here! We were very impressed with the quality, portion size and variety. Desserts were huge. Multiple vegetarian options. There are limited parking spaces outside but parking is free on some nearby streets after 5pm on weekdays. The decor is not fancy and the facilities a bit dated, and some of the clientele were drunken louts, with small dogs running around under the tables. Would still go back for the food though.

It was lovely, one of the best Sunday lunches I have had in a long while. I will be back very soon. We had the beef and the pork both delicious . It recently had new owners and I wish them good luck!

Amazing food.Amaizing hospitality.Friendly atmosphere. A hidden gem inside the Clifton Heart. The Sunday roast was amazing!!!!! Also the Quinoa salad and desserts. Also they were very supportive as we didn't had a booking due internet issues but they gave us a chance to get a table at the end.100% recommended.

I could not Colin thank and his team any more for putting on such an amazing event for my Dads wake at the Coach and Horses The food prepared was incredible and the amount they provided was unbelievable both in volume and taste. I massively recommend this for anyone thinking of having any food or drink In Bristol Thank you Colin and team so much for all your help and consideration

Had a great meal last weekend - the seafood chowder was amazing and my wife said that the curry was out of this world. Great service and a friendly pub dog too!

We’ve had 2 visits to this pub in recent months and have been very impressed on both occasions. The first time we came for dinner on a Saturday evening and had a great meal, with v friendly and efficient service. We chatted for a bit...

We’ve had 2 visits to this pub in recent months and have been very impressed on both occasions. The first time we came for dinner on a Saturday evening and had a great meal, with v friendly and efficient service. We chatted for a bit with a lovely French lady, who suggested that we might like the Sunday roast. We experienced it this Sunday and were delighted! The staff were charming and helpful. The meat was tasty, the vegetables plentiful and cooked perfectly. The gravy was a wonderful rich jus. Best of all, they had made gluten-free Yorkshire puddings for us, as we had mentioned that I was coeliac when booking. We loved it! Thank you!

Had a delicious Sunday roast here. Between us we had the pork, veggie and beef roast and all were rated excellent. Great friendly service too!

Great food, great atmosphere and good value for money. Friendly and efficient staff and didn’t have to wait too long for the food (Sunday Lunch). I’ve been coming to the pub since 1993 and this is definitely the best food I’ve tasted. We’ll definitely be...

Here mid-March ... delighted to find the Coach & Horses. Good range of vegan options - starters mains and even dessert. We had the walnut and chickpea burger and vegan paella ... both delicious. Staff were great, very welcoming, and the place is dog-friendly ......
