Coach and Horses in Canterbury

Great atmosphere and great DJs. We came for the ska and reggae night, funk DJs and open mike night. All great and very good fun.

It's a Shepherd Neame pub. Enough said

Another good Whitstable pub. We only stopped by for a short while, but there was a good atmosphere, some decent music playing and the service was good. There was a good selection of drinks and there is also a small space outside to enjoy the sunshine if you are lucky enough to grab a seat. Unfortunately, we were not on our visit, but we will try again another time.

Dirty Shane McGuiness cocktail, will blow your mind!

Best pint of Guinness in Whitstable

First time I went hear and it wasn't too bad, was very busy but was on a Saturday night. Didn't get a drink as someone else got me a drink.

Absolutely love this pub! My sister and brother-in-law live in Whitstable and they introduced us to it - best pint of Guinness outside of Ireland, banging food and cocktails, really friendly staff and management - what’s not to like! Always a good crowd in there too with great DJ sets on Friday and Saturday nights. It was hard to leave, great fun and looking forward to going back next time we visit 🙏🏼👍🏼😍🍻🍺

Six-months down the line & a good few return visits, this gem on the High St is our regular. Feeling like a proper pub in Ireland (not a tacky Irish themed pub), The Coach has a warm welcome which makes you want to stay for the craic (& of course the lovingly curated Guinness). Everyone works so hard to create a safe, fun vibe. Not only in the creation of a ‘By Day’; chilled welcoming day time, dog-friendly drinking hole & ‘By Night’; lively, interesting & oh-so-fun venue, but also in the pubs transformation. Since taking over this little piece of Whitstable history Maddie & Sarah have revamped both exterior & interior (inc’ brand spanking new toilets), set up the oh-so cool (Insta-haven) courtyard with weekend stone-baked pizza & of course decorated in their unique, and at times humorous style; putting some heart & soul back into this end of the High Street. Maddy, Sarah I don't know how you do it but you pick some top bar staff. They do you proud. Whatever your approach in selecting and then training them up, it's spot on. They are welcoming & attentive without being pushy, helpful & chatty when you want them to be, and so on the ball. Hats off to you and what you have achieved in a little over only a year!

I’ve never been to Whitstable before but thanks to my wonderful friends, they introduced me and my partner to this pub. Enjoyed some drinks here and don’t get me started with the music! This was definitely a favourite! Cannot wait to come back here again!

Enjoyed some drinks here as part of a tour of Whitstables pubs and bars. This was definitely a favourite! Looking forward to our next trip back

This place is just what you want from a pub. Sarah & Maddie have created a fun, safe, lively and cracking place with the friendliest of welcomes. The staff are brilliant, attentive and on the money with the drinks. The Guinness is the best in Whitstable thanks to Maddie's attention to detail and the staff know how to pour it. Great selection of spirits and beers on draft. Screens for sports viewing but also areas to sit and chat if that's not your thing. Pizza oven in the garden is fab and DJ nights on Friday's & Saturday's are not to be missed. Dogs are very welcome, with snackage on the bar. If you're looking for a friendly fun boozer which welcomes everyone - this is the place. We just love it!

Very friendly owners very clean and tidy

Great pub, especially love the woodfired pizzas sold here at the weekend! Delicious food, great service.

Unfriendly / zero welcome, over priced drinks and comments made by staff about us. Really disappointed with the service and what this pub offers. Whitstable pubs are famous for being friendly and welcoming and sadly, this is very short of the mark. Much work to do. Will not be back and will not be recommending to anyone.

After exhaustive research of Whitstable watering holes...of which there area healthy few, The Coach has become our favourite. The staff, and owners are all so friendly, welcoming and chatty (if that's your thing... respectful if not) and give the place a real positive vibe with great customer service. Example; they had run out of a favourite tipple from one visit to the next, but by the time of ordering our 2nd round it had been secured elsewhere and was in the optics! It has a well stocked bar, including the best pint of Guinness in The Bubble, and an impressive spirits selection including some locally made which is nice. Oh btw, not tried the food, but given 5*s as they serve Taytos!

A great, unassuming little boozer with fabulous music and a killer back garden full of plants and great artwork. Good conversation taken as read. Shepherd Neame owned - but the landladies are able to make that work in their own imaginative way, and not everyone can manage that magic

A warm Whitstable welcome awaits from attentive staff and lovely landladies. Great music whether it’s a chilled candlelit weeknight or out out DJ weekend. Children and doggo friendly with a sunny courtyard garden.

Love the pub,maddie and Sarah love themx

The staff here are incredible, warm, friendly and welcoming. They're truly part of a community that look after and know each other. When you visit ask for Grace, she will look after you.

If your not a fan of coke this place isn’t for you, everyone was absolutely off their face

First time in this Pub and had a great time! The Wife and I don't really get out together that much due to being busy parents.Had fun especially with the drag bingo night, very funny and entertaining.The Management and bar staff very friendly and made you feel very welcome, would definitely go back😃🍺🍺

Great pub, lovely people who run the place.

We had a party with DJs great pub fantastic staff and owners thank you

Top Top Little Pub in the heart of Whitstable run by two wonderful ladies. The place to be in town, great atmosphere, such a friendly pub with probably the best pint of Guinness this side of Ireland. Oh and they have Tayto crisps 👌🏼

A really lively place and been really good the few times I've been the the owners are really nice definitely worth a pop in

We love this pub. The owners and staff are mustard, and the atmosphere, especially on party nights, is warm, welcoming and a whole lot of fun 🥰🥰 🥰👏👏👏

New managers have put new life into this old drinking hole that seemed to be on the way out. Still a Shepherd Neame pub, so beer is average, but great to see a truly local pub thriving.

Great little pub - how pubs used to be before everything got too corporate. Don’t come here if you’re after cookie-cutter polished floors, farrow and ball paintwork and a lifeless atmosphere - all done to a formula dictated by head office. Do come here if you want a cross section of conversations, an awesome art school 80s background playlist and a hark back to your heady student days, only now you’ve grown up. Food can be ordered from nearby restaurants, drinks and cocktails are good and it’s dog friendly (obvs). What’s not to like!!

Love it here, it’s the perfect place to have a cosy pint, can’t wait to visit in the summer and try out the beer garden. Staff are so so friendly

Such a lovely atmosphere and great staff! Really fun pub, highly recommend!

So good to see this place up and running properly by people who obviously care about what they do.

Really nice atmosphere, lovely fresh and clean. Friendly staff

Reopened- now a great pub the managers are amazing and always make you feel welcome. Keep it up ladies and see you soon.

Good pub. Decent selection of beers, and non alcoholic drinks. Will return.

Quiet but pleasent. Surely soon to become out of towners holiday homes or air bnbs

We camevin for a drink on the way back to our accommodation, great ecmxanple of an old fashioned propper pub serving a good selection of shepherd neame drinks. Lovely atmosphere and freindly landlady in an amazing venue. Does food Sundays only. Highly recommended for fans of the propper pub.

Nice locals pub with very friendly and attentive staff. Reminds me of a few old locals of mine. Would happily visit again

Great pub in the heart of whitstable my sadly missed father in laws favourite pub . Still good tho. Love this place good beers and friendly staff

Lovely venue, gorgeous barmaid and all around Whitstable gem. Would encourage all to experience this wonderfully funrished old fashioned bar. Loses a star for no cash only policy but some may see this as a throwback to better days

A group of us popped in for a drink as we were trying out the various pubs along Whitstable high street. The bar staff took ages to serve us even though there were no other people waiting. About 10 minutes later, the staff went round closing the curtains and started switching off the lights behind the bar. It was about 9pm. When we asked if they were closing, the barman just shrugged. So bizarre.

Typical old traditional pub. No live music, but it was lovely to be able to chat with friends for a change without having to shout out over the music.

Nice pint of Masterbrew not far from the station

The Coach and Horses is a welcoming local-type pub, with nothing pretentious or affected about it. The staff are friendly and professional, and the beer and wine are great. It's not usually very crowded, so it's always comfortable.

Authentic pub with a great atmosphere. Good selection of wines, beers, etv

Quaint, old fashioned pub with friendly staff and a lovely beer garden . No food served but dog friendly and a wide range of beer, lager and wine

Jager on tap what more could you possibly want it was very good

Traditional pub with a friendly welcome

The only proper local pub left in town! Feel free to correct me.

Quiet with good selection of drinks

Nice pub usually quite good beer shepherd neame

Cosy pub but bit dead. Better if music is on..

Lovely friendly pub. Will be back again.

Living out of a suitcase and eating average nosh on the run, thoughts turn to a nice Sunday roast with Yorkshire Pud, vegetables and gravy. That's what we got at the Coach and Horses all served up with a smile. Thank you.

A delicious home cooked Sunday lunch, served with a smile. The treacle tart was warm with a dollop of ice cream, and it was so good, we ordered another portion!

Enjoyed the pub the beer was good

Very much a locals pub but friendly to us visitors. Appeared to have several rooms/areas and cosy just as a pub should be.

Day trip to Whitstable. Best Sunday Roast I've had out in a long time. All cooked to perfection. Roast potatoes were crispy and we had extra gravy. Veg was cooked just how I like it and the portion size was just right. The staff were very friendly and chatty. There was even a biscuit for the dog on offer

Visited this pub on a day trip to Whitstable recently, it may not look much from the outside but I highly recommend it, especially if you are partial to a pint of Masterbrew. The pub is small, and has a beer garden to the rear, friendly staff and the perfect pint, if your in town give it a visit.

We were a party of six who met up here from all over Kent which had been organised by one of the group. Instantly made very welcome and shown to our reserved table. We were served by the most delightful character Jenny, who we later found out is the landlady. "Character" just begins to describe this fine lady and the pleasure she brought to our table for the four hours we were there. The food was a typical choice of Sunday roasts, cooked to perfection and brought to our table by excellent staff. If you're in Whitstable, give this pub a try; I'll doubt you'll be disappointed.

Absolutely fabulous. Haven't had such a fantastic Sunday dinner in any pub as good as this. Staff were amazing and very friendly. Would definitely recommend. Very reasonably priced too. Desserts and starters very generous too. Will defiantly be returning

One of the oldest pubs in Whitstable - 17th century. Great atmosphere and good pub grub at good prices. Small paved area outside for sunny days, Welcoming Landlady.

Often visit for Sunday lunch and it really is the best in town. Generous portions and the puddings are to die for - all home made. VERY reasonable prices - best to book up as they do get busy

a lovely home cooked meal, just like mom made. plenty to eat, veg, meat, traditional. good home cooked food in the week also. friendly service, and good atmosphere

The food was excellent but the beer seems to be that the lines need cleaning had to return twice different products tasted the same I have now refused to go back until someone tells me the beer taste good

Food menu most reasonably priced and filling pub grub. Pint of Whistable bay was not the best I've had. Also on the two occasions I've been in the pub, I've had to check my change, 1st time the old " giving change of a fiver trick", second time a pound short. Be vigilant and you may enjoy it more
