Dog friendly, great food and ale, great staff and service too. What could be better. As we had dogs we had to eat in the bar area but that was lovely. For us, it would be have been better if there were more gluten free options on the menu but we recognise how difficult it can be. Hence dropping one star.

1 x roast beef dinner... cold. Roast potatoes and parsnip were anaemic, not roasted to get a brown coating. Lovely big Yorkshire pud.. COLD!. Beef chewy, cabbage hard, COLD.. T.bone steak, chewy, chips cold. Peas cold. Very disappointing on our 30yrs anniversary . Could only get out for limited time due to mother's illness. Waitresses rushed off feet. Need more help. Get more staff. Pay more. Simple.

Arrived Sat. evening (14/9) with my daughter Holly to a restaurant with a nice ambiance . We were greeted by Chloe who made us feel at home from the start . The meals we had were lovely , the wine ..spot on , service ..excellent but the star of the show was Chloe , I dont know what it is that makes a good restauranteur but this charming young lady has it in abundance . All in all a pleasurable experience and will be logged into my go to places , definitely a 10/10 .

We often visit on a Friday for drink and cobs, but today I was quite disappointed, the ham in all three of our cobs was so fatty and with just a single thin slither, we will try again, just hoping this is a one off

Had lunch today, 1 liver meal and a jacket potato with chilli and cheese with salad. The jacket potato came on a small rectangular plate with chilli running over the side and onto the wooden picnic table in the garden. Apart from the mess it was making I have never tasted such a dreadful chilli in my life. I'm sure that was never home made. The presentation of the liver dish was awful with the liver sat on top of the mash on a large plate with the remaining three quarters of the plate a sea of half a pint of gravy with peas swimming in it. I know that we chose a cheap lunch but in the 57 years that we have been coming here, yes 57 years I have never had such a dreadful meal. We will not be eating here again. This is so sad as it was a favourite of ours and my husband loves the beer.

Fish and chips are great. Staff not so great
Steven HOUGHTON . 2024-05-25

Me and my partner decided to have the fish and chips at Coach and horses. I did book a table but received no reply. The waitress said that the person that incharge on the booking email wasn't there tonight (I think she's made up this stuff too) When I arrived after sitting at one of the empty tables, just to be told by the same waitress that they are fully booked. The serving time is only until 9pm and that time it was already 8.15pm. Went back down to the bar (my partner was ordering the drinks) and the lady (probably the manager) told us that she will find us a table, and we managed to sit at the table where I first sat. The point that I was getting at is the waitress that was incharged on the restaurant area was lying because she can't be bothered to served another customer that eating in the restaurant's tables. As part of her job she brings in (order to the bar) our new drinks without asking if we want a top up and tonight she's ended up bringing the wrong beer for my partner just by following the glass it was served in. The glass was Stella but the drink that he first drink was Cuzcampo. My partner did not point this out as he do not want the fuss. For the rest of the night there was no other customers turns up at the reseaurant to sit at those empty tables that she claimed "fully booked". Lovely place and the fish and chips was nice and the portion was massive but won't be coming back to eat here again as we don't appreciate the lies.

I've been using this pub for going on 50 years so we booked a table as a Mothers Day treat. What a major disappointment! We had to wait 90 minutes for our barely edible main courses! My 2 wafer thin slices of roast beef appeared to have come out of a packet and certainly not from a roast joint. The vegetables were no better having the appearance of coming out of the freezer. My wife had no roast potatoes and for some reason I had a stuffing ball with my beef. After asking to speak to the manager the best he could come up with was "we are busy" and "you have had your starters haven't you". Needless to say we won't be eating there again. Beer was good though!

Abysmal, inedible food at outrageously inflated prices. Five years ago this place did incredible food and was winning rave reviews, to see how far it has fallen is really sad. We went here for Mother's Day and had the three-course set menu. Every single course was awful. The starter of soup was very clearly from a can, it had the same gelatinous wobble consistency and tastes exactly the same as the leading brand. This was enough of a shock, but it only got worse. For mains our party had Roast Beef and Roast Lamb Dinners. We were all in agreement that these were potentially the worst roast dinners we had ever had. Everything was disastrously overcooked to the point of losing both texture and flavour. Both meats were like bland tough old leather. The vegetables had been boiled to death to the extent that they had lost their colour and become dull mush, the green beans were particularly inedible. The potatoes were woeful and yet again massively overcooked; the mash was gloop and the roasties were similarly overcooked mush inside, and not all crispy on the outside. The only thing on the entire plate that wasn't completely ruined/unpleasant was the roast carrot. We all left the majority of these plates. It was genuinely unpleasant to eat. Still being hungry given the awfulness of the first two courses, we were desperately hopeful that dessert would be much better, I mean how much could one even ruin an Eton Mess? Quite a lot it turns out; for they forgot the meringue. It was merely a bowl of chopped up strawberries and cream. Admittedly it tasted okay so was probably the best of the disastrous meal, but not even by the most liberal application of the term could one describe what was served as 'Eton Mess' given the lack of the main ingredient; meringue. Being charged £25 per head and being served what I would honestly describe as hospital food, was outrageous. I can only assume that they did not have someone with any restaurant-level catering training whatsoever in the kitchen on the day that we visited given that they thought it anywhere near acceptable to serve food which is so very clearly ruined. Even a school dinner lady would know that what they served needed to the thrown out and started from scratch. The poor food was not helped by staff who were literally running around the restaurant and being short/blunt with customers, random broken Christmas decorations adorning the walls and rafters despite it being March, and a deafening roar from other customers which made it feel like a primary school canteen. So to summize; awful food, lacking service, and unpleasant aesthetic/vibes. For the first time in my life I was tempted to leave without paying given how poor the experience was. Alas we did not, we simply paid and got out as quickly as we could. It was quite upsetting given that this meal was a gift to our mother and we'd travelled from quite far away to this part of England in order to see her and celebrate with her. Shame on the owners.

Food was decent and hot, some staff were friendly and helpful. They weren't very busy but we had to wait quite some time for our lunch. Two desserts were ordered but after waiting approximately 20 minutes, we enquired after our desserts to be told they were just being plated. They arrived at our table after about another 8 minute wait. Not sure it arrived with an apology. However, food was hot and tasty again. Not sure what went wrong but an apology and smile goes a long way!

Having seen some good reports about this place, I thought it would be worth a 45 minutes drive to give it a try. I felt rather fortunate that we got a table at short notice on a Saturday night, that said it wasn't close to full during the time we were here. It's a rather impressive dining room, they have done a very good job and obviously spent a lot of money on it. Naturally this has to be recovered and is reflected in the prices. The plain frontage gives no indication of what lies behind. Unusually for a Bangladeshi restaurant you could be forgiven for thinking that it is a micro pub, given the prominence of the bar in the window. We had a table for two in a corner which oddly was in a cold draught, when I mentioned this to our waiter who had poor English, he advised, "yes we have Cobra". The service was pleasant, a little slow and not overly attentive given the number of staff. Poppadoms and dips were very good our shared onion bhaji wasn't the best though. I appreciate that these are precooked and reheated on the night but these were quite 'tough', and the portion was a bit meagre. They made an effort with the salad but there wasn't a lot of that either. There was quite a long wait between our starters and mains. The main courses were OK, the wife enjoyed her balti but my roasted red chilli chicken korai was a bit thin in taste even though it looked great. The sides were OK but we had to opt for boiled rice instead of pilau as I am not a fan of the tri colour version. Overall it was not a bad night but I was expecting to be impressed, especially at their prices but unfortunately it didn't happen. Another night, with a different dishes and I guess it would be a different story.
