We really like this pub and always eat here when in the area. We are here last night and as always the food was excellent. We had Vegan Meatballs and Halloumi chips to start, both yummy. Followed by Halloumi and chips for my husband and Cod and chips for myself. Both very good. Very filling too. Our server who I think was called Melissa was really nice and so good at her job. An excellent communicator. I cannot recommend this pub highly enough.

Well I must confess it’s been a while since we’ve been back to the Coach and Horses and had forgotten how pleasant it is. We were greeted by friendly interaction from the staff and the food was delicious especially the new Butchers Block Sharing starter . The scotch egg was perfect. Thanks to Mel and the staff .

My wife and myself were recommended to go to the Coach & Horses for lunch we were greeted by a young lady who told us and showed to sign in our reg on our car , we had not booked a table and as they were busy we had to sit in the bar for our meal but it was perfectly fine clean and comfortable ordering at the bar was easy and served by a very polite and helpful bar man, we both had a Hunters Chicken and this is one i often choose as it is one my favourite meals so i know when this done well and bang on absolutely perfect and the sauce on it was perfection. So we then had Millionaires Sundae for desert again to die for so nicely presented so would we have this again with out a doubt . I would also add the young man and young lady who were attending to our table and us were so nice and attentive , they told me the Chefs name was Gemma so well done Gemma, we will be back soon.

We chose the Coach & Horses for our annual "Ladies Day" lunch, based on a number of recommendations. The team organised the logistics for a group of 25 people with a range of food choices, including gluten free. All went very smoothly, everybody enjoyed the occasion. The food was excellent, served hot and in a timely manner (and with some awesome cheesecake for dessert). Very pleased.

It was a little while, but not too long, and when it did, it was worth the wait. The portion sizes were huge, and it tasted delicious . I then had a chocolate fondant for dessert, which was perfect and very well presented. The staff are extremely friendly, and nothing is too much trouble for them.

Booked a table for 1815 hrs, arrived and was informed there was a 45 minute wait for food. In the space of time it took to get seated, the waiting time for food was an hour. Half the menu was not available and we finally got our food an hour and twenty three minutes later. Apparently the kitchen is not large enough and is improperly equipped. Not even as if the place was busy, there was four other parties in the restaurant. Here’s a thought, if you can’t cater then don’t offer food all day or even at all.

We enjoyed 3 courses from the Seniors menu - soup, mac n cheese, and apple pie. The food was delicious, the portions were a decent size and we were satisfyingly replete at the end. We paid an amazing £7.99 for the three courses. We were served by Melissa and Vikkie who were attentive and friendly, despite the restaurant filling up in the hour or so we were there.

We got greeted by a lovely lady, however a women (who clearly works there but on a day off) came over and started being rude to the women saying she wanted our table etc. We then got seated and this women and her family then moved next to us - she was extremely loud, and kept speaking rude to the staff who she obviously knows and usually works with, also letting there huge dog come and stand at our table watching us eat our food. The man with these people then started chucking treats under our table so the dog would come under our table (to which we laughed at) but really it’s not what you want when paying for a meal! We then went to go to the toilet and this women then shouted at us telling us 1 person can go in (to which she wasn’t even in work clothes so didn’t need to be as abrupt). I can’t lie, this ruined the whole meal/evening and we won’t be returning - such a shame how someone can act like that in there own work place. Aside from that, the rest of the staff were absolutely lovely and if anything we felt sorry for them!

We arrived at 3:15pm on a Monday. Only a couple of tables were occupied outside and we were pleased to have plenty of choice for where to sit. However! If you haven’t booked, you are not welcome. We were basically told we had to book or leave. We only wanted a quick drink! Imagine if we had brought a bigger party and attempted to order food! So I went onto the pub’s website to book on my phone there and then. The only available time (to occupy any of the empty tables) was 4:30pm. I suggested to another member of staff that maybe we could book that but access one of the empty tables there and then (playing the weird “walk-ins aren’t welcome”’game). Nope! We would have to go away and come back at 4:30pm. So all those empty tables inside and out serve what purpose? Wasn’t there a lockdown that resulted in huge losses to the hospitality industry? Wouldn’t customers be a positive thing? Perhaps I am mistaken. Sadly we won’t be back!

They were very friendly and helpful on the phone and went above and beyond the legal requirements to make the visit COVID secure. There was regular cleaning taking place and very efficient protocols in use to reduce the spread. The staff were so friendly and engaging with the children. The food was excellent quality for a very reasonable price. We were very satisfied with our visit and will definitely return next time we visit Grandma. It was her first meal out in 7 months, so she was a little nervous, but we were immediately put at ease by the staff and the systems in place. We all thoroughly enjoyed the experience, good job!

However saying so I had the pie which was incredible and could’ve had about 5 more lots of the gravy it went down a treat and staff were more than happy to pack up what I couldn’t finish! and the lovely young lady named Grace that served us was ever so welcoming and checked on us regularly that everything okay, all in all will definitely return again such lovely spot to eat out and always wanting to try more on their menu !

COVID procedures they had in place included: all staff were wearing face coverings, wiping down tables as customers left, one-way system and a new sign on the toilet doors as they are only one person in at a time.Drinks were served promptly by a member of staff, I think called Alexa, a very cheerful young lady and served with a smile.Whilst waiting for our food we saw both Melissa and Alexa following the one way system many many times like busy ants which was pleasing to see with tray fulls of drinks and seating people down.Food arrived promptly, very hot and plentiful.Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, they were happy to stop and have a chat. Both Melissa and Alexa came round to check if food was ok and if we were enjoying our visit.A truly wonderful experience with good food and drink and would recommend to all to try this pub.

The Coach and Horses is an Olde Worlde Thatched Pub just on the outskirts of Wimborne. (5 minute walk from the centre) There is ample free parking and a beer garden. Equally, a 5 minute walk in the opposite direction takes you to the old bridge crossing the River Stour with views along the river. - This has always been a lovely traditional pub with a great atmosphere. The Management and all staff are extremely friendly (including to Dogs) and attentive and are dealing with Covid 19 very professionally. The Menu is extremely varied. The Sunday Lunch options are delicious. - Portions are very generous.

We went last Wednesday and it was definitely the nicest meal we have both ever had in a pub. So we decided to take my nan and grandad there today on bank holiday. My grandad is the pickiest person in the world and never likes anywhere and he said its the nicest meal hes had for 3 years! The staff are so helpful and nice and always check everything is okay and do their best to make sure your time there is amazing.I cannot say anything bad about the food or the staff or the pub. Alexa and Hannah was our servers and they were both amazing! Good job guys.

Visited this place yesterday for a family meal for the first time since lockdown. We had booked a table for 6pm. Very professional welcome...we were given the run-down on the procedures in place due to covid-19 and shown to our table. All very well laid out with a one-way system in place and clear floor markers. We placed our order and were told that our wait for food was likely to be 45-60 minutes due to a party of 16(!) having just placed their food order. The staff were very apologetic but said that they would make sure that our daughter (5 years of age) would be the first to get her meal. Approximately 40 minutes later, our daughter's food arrived and ours followed 10 minutes after that. I have to say that all of the staff were very attentive and kept apologising for our wait. The food arrived piping hot and we all enjoyed our meals - burger meal, chickpea and butternut squash curry, gammon, egg and chips and kids chicken nugget meal. We have eaten in a couple of other places during the 50% off Monday to Wednesday Eat Out to Help Out Scheme during August and always been disappointed with service or meal availability (or both), but despite having to wait a while for our food, we could not fault either the food or the service throughout. Well done Coach and Horses for showing how it should be done!!! In particular, our servers Nicole, Alexa and Hannah. Many others could learn an awful lot from you! We shall be returning in the not too distant future. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We went on an eat out to help out Monday. We had booked and on arrival were not told of any wait on food. We ordered on the app at 7.11 pm and didn’t receive any food till 8.53 pm at no time did any staff come and apologise or explain the wait. We had to ask. Then the wrong meal was bought to our table and we had to wait even longer while the right one was cooked! Had to ask for our side too. We enjoyed the food but def won’t be returning.

On arrival we were told to order via an app, we were warned our food order could take up to an hour. Got drinks ok and waiting staff great, social distancing ok. After an hour one Starter came out and the wraps for chicken fajitas, then nothing ! So another half hour later we asked how much longer and were told our food was about to be cooked so asked for a refund as everyone fed up of just sitting there waiting, we were told we couldn’t get a refund as we had ordered on the app and had had a starter, sooo another half hour and we got our food. Chicken fajitas, fish n chips, chicken nuggets, hunters chicken, Berger and pie n mash, all very small portions except for the pie. My grandson of 14 asked to order a takeaway when we got home, he had hunters chicken. So I would give this place a miss if you are looking to treat yourself to a nice pub meal. No apology from the manager who sent a young member of staff back out to us after we asked to speak to him about refund.

Cycled from Poole to this pub and we were both very impressed with the sensible measures they have introduced to try to create a covid safe environment. We still received the usual warm welcome and enjoyed good food and drinks at very reasonable prices. Excellent value for money and run by lovely people.

We hadn't visited this pub for some time, mainly because it became over-busy. However we couldn't fault our mid-week evening visit, which was delightful. The pub was welcomingly warm as we entered and the main waitress, although obviously very busy, was extremely helpful and friendly. There is obviously a very good chef, since the steak I chose was perfectly cooked. I asked for rare to medium and it certainly was. It had obviously rested and was tender, juicy and very tasty. All the elements in both dishes we chose were well presented, tasy and very good value for money. We chose the two cousres at £13.75 with a £2 supplement for the steak, which was well worth the extra. All in all a fabulous winter warmer on a cold, February night! We shall be back.

Nice thatched Greene King pub with serveral areas, a dining room and a childrens room, all served by one large bar. Our first visit but unfortunately the kitchen was closed undergoing plumbing repairs. Barstaff were welcoming.

It’s a Thursday afternoon... hour wait just for starters. You go to complain, can’t find staff anywhere, not very good at all! I would understand if it was busy but it really isn’t ... was not even advised on the long wait for food when ordering either

Had a lovely Birthday Chinese last night, very tasty and filling! Make sure you take cash though as they don't take card payments. Apart from that a very good meal and a very polite young lady on the front desk :)
