Coach & Horses in Portsmouth

Come in for food the other day and would definitely return. Staff are very friendly and welcoming, service of food was quick and cooked to perfection. Recommend popping in if you are in the area

Clean and tidy, friendly staff.

Good basic pub with reasonably priced food.

Usually, I come here every couple of months and always look forward to the food even when waiting over an hour on busy nights, but tonight I was very disappointed. Couldn't order the combo dinner as it was supposedly out of stock despite everything being available to order separately. Usually, I love the macaroni cheese, but today came out tasting like powder and Luke warm. There was too much dressing on the side salad, and the garlic bread was anaemic. The wait staff didn't even ask how our food was despite the place being half empty. I ate what I could and left. My partner and son thoroughly enjoyed their chicken and rib combo, and i enjoyed my breaded mushroom starter, so it's not a total waste. I will try again one more time when I'm ready to go back and hope the chef was having an off night. If it improves, my review will be updated.

I use the Coach and Horses on regular basis. Tonight however wasn't the best experience we have had down there. Took forever to get food delivered to table from kitchen! When enquiring where food was, we were told pub had a massive influx of people! Also nearly all that we ordered wasn't available. Strange as pub was nearly empty!!! Think, we were not alone in asking where their food was.? Really no need for this as they took our money, with no problems.!! Again as I have mentioned before, might not be going here to this pub again??

We had a nice meal here recently. Our server Abbie was friendly and very helpful. Would go again

I eat here with my friends from work every couple of months, every time we have lovely food, the service is quick.

Friendly staff and Fantastic food! Came here for a family members birthday and the food and drink didn't disappoint... we will be back. THANK YOU

Popped in for lunch with friends whilst visiting the area. Quick service at the bar, by a friendly crew member who also gave us a recommendation of food to try. Place was clean and tidy, food arrived quickly and staff were friendly.

Been coming here every 4 months for food and park in the same place every time no problem. Me my wife and daughter came and had food 7 weeks ago and then get a parking fine for 100 pound!! I went back and spoke to the barman and he said if you send your proof of payment from card to appeal they should clear it so I done that and no they rejected it! Why would anyone want to go for food and be charged £100 for using there carpark! Never been a problem before! Had to wait an hour for food the day I went to! Never visiting there again for this disgusting treatment! The parking people have said the transaction doesn’t say the date when it clearly does! Someone needs to sort this out now as I will not be paying and I will take legal action for this!!!!

Another lovely evening at our local, food was delicious and we didn’t have to wait long, staff as always welcoming and friendly even on a busy payday weekend

Very friendly staff. Excellent food and drink.. Highly recommended *****

Could be cleaner but after a bad experience with a staff member, manager reached out and rectified the issue.

Ate there today and ordered a mixed grill it came out and I was told the sausages and onion rings will be out in a minute as they took longer too cook, I never got either items.

Lovely staff and great choice in the new menu, the staff help with recommendations and are chatty and sweet. We’ll go back again.

Great visit great staff and the new challenge is absolutely amazing but those little sausages are 🔥🔥🔥

Excellent atmosphere and staff are lovely! Recommend to all :)

Absolutely 5 star.. food was devine .... service was great ...compliments to the chef and the leadership team for a lovely afternoon

Came in for lunch, the food was beautiful and staff were amazing! Nothing was too much! Thankyou again!

Excellent service. Cheery waitress. We had the Seniors meal which was enough for us old ones! Only one minor criticism and nothing to do with the food but it was quite dark and we moved tables to find one that was lighter.

Updated after visit this week. No pies, no pastry items, no vanilla ice cream. Different staff and barman not very friendly. Seemed unable to smile. Shame really. July 2024. Lily and Harry very helpful and attentive. Great value food. Table could have been cleaner but was quickly rectified.

Friendly staff and great food. Highly recommended to anyone

Food was fair and at time we went in we were welcomed nicely. Been a long time since been in this place but liked my old haunt. Give it a try as I like it

Popped in today for a cheeky pint, walked inside to a pleasant atmosphere and a big hello and smile from the waitress,The wife was feeling peckish so we decided to have a little something, although it wasn’t overly busy our meals still came out in record time, was piping hot and looked exactly how they do on the menu! We were stuffed so declined on the puddings that were offered I’m afraid, the pub is a great little find and will definitely return next time we’re in Cosham.

Lovely place to visit, staff are friendly and attentive to your needs.

Popped in for lunch today ,greeted with nothing but smiles and a warm welcome,food was absolutely spot on, would highly recommend 👌

Always have a fantastic family meal at the coach and horses, the girl with glasses very professional, gives a warm welcome and everything to her is never to much trouble Food was excellent tha k you

Wheelchair friendly, staff friendly and helpful.

Myself and my family were on holiday at Pagham. And decided to go to Portsmouth for the day.We then went to the Coach and Horse Pub on the London Road, Hilsea the staff were amazing and very professional and a credit to Green King ( Flaming Grill ). I will recommend this pub to everyone very friendly and nice and professional people that work there. WELL DONE

The meal was great and tastey but it was heavily let down by the sick left festering in the male toilets!

Popped in for a quick bite to eat. Great service, competitively priced and tasty food. Decent sized car park always an added bonus. Staff friendly and courteous. Would recommend

Beer ok . However the seating outside was not very clean.

Went to share a meal with my family for my nephews 16th birthday, fabulous food and great atmosphere. Staff were amazing!

Food good internally very dark could do with redecorating

I took a good friend who had not been to Coach & Horses for lunch before, and as whenever I take friends there she had an enjoyable time. Both Ben -who was managing the shift- and Hannah, the busy but always happy waitress- were both personable and attentive. Mo -the manager of the busy pub and eatery- was herself running the kitchens. I had asked to book a particular table and when we arrived it was ready for us. My friend had a rib-eye steak meal, and when it arrived she said it was 'just as it should be.' Neither of us could then manage a sweet after our ample meals. I had recently taken a group of 4 student-age lads -2 of them from US- to the Coach & Horses for evening meals. They chose the rack of ribs and other similar diner-type meals, and all said that they were 'as good as anything back home.' So all in all -as whenever I regularly take friends whether in small or larger groups- the Coach & Horses proves to be my most regular and reliable 'go to' place for a dependable and reliable time.

Delicious eatings and good times to be enjoyed by all whom visit 😋 🍻 🥩 🔥 🍗 🍟

Went in for a quick bite and a pint the manage mo really stood out , quick friendly service and recommended the steak as they were running a steak promotion, came out cooked to perfection and tasted amazing , would definitely return

Very fatty steak, couldn’t cut with the knife given, asked for medium cooked but got rare.

Hi all We visited the coach and horses today and the chef Charlie went above and beyond to accommodate my needs. .. the Greeneking managerment team needs to give charlie a pay rise. Many thanks Martin page

I've been coming here multiple times and I have never been disappointed once when it comes to both food and service. The staff are lovely and extremely patient. Easiest 5/5 in my life, highly, highly recommended.

Really nice place to go, food was amazing, staff were really.happy and friendly, would definitely recommend

Visited for a family meal, great choice on the menu and good value for money. Food was delivered quickly and all staff were attentive. Will certainly visit again

Came in for dinner with my family and we had such a lovely time! The food was beautifully cooked and piping hot, and the service was amazing! Our server Lily was friendly and nothing was too much, we will absolutely be back!

absolutely lovely night! gorgeous food and great service. it was our anniversary and the staff made us feel so special. will recommend to all our friends. thank you!

Came with 2 friends of mine on sunday and all had a roast , came out hot and quickly , food was great plus great selection of drinks too , would recommend

staff were super friendly, and went over and above to make the evening special, and the food was absolutely delicious, we will be back soon!

Really lovely atmosphere and amazing food, really good portions for the price. The Mac and cheese is also the best I’ve had

Came here for lunch recently with my family and the food was great and came quickly. The staff were very friendly and helpful and I am looking forward to returning. Great place for food and drinks and would definitely recommend to my friends and family.

Oh dear..came here for midweek steak specials for son's bday last night..a wed.Was barely busy atall..waited around 15/20mins just to order..girl on till very slow..The lady infront..was no1 else in queue..commented to us you would find it hard to get drunk at that rate lol.Then..realised we had waited nearly an hour for our food to come out when we were approached and told sorry they had "forgotton" to put our food order through to kitchen!!The lad apologised and offered us a free round of drinks.The food then took a further half hour to come out.It was ok bog standard peas a bit dried looking.It was a quiet night and they "forgot" their customers...not a great bday meal experience for son though he did like his steak.We won't be back.Originally we were going to have dessert too but decided not to bother as we would prob be waiting ages for that too.

Great range of food on the menu, i recommend the chicken and rib combo tasted fantastic

Friendly helpful staff when we popped in for a pint on June 24th. Easy parking, just remember to log reg. number. Will eat next time.

Had a quick lunch stop and ordered a lamb flatbread from the board by the bar. Very tasty with nsshville sauce and super friendly staff. Served within 10 minutes. Must go again.

Where do I start joking it’s a good place good environment and lovely food service is amazing and lovely waiters.

Haven't been here for a long time but was able to book a table online to watch the England game. The staff were really friendly and helpful. The food was outstanding and the drinks were really well priced. The atmosphere was great and I'll definitely start coming back more often. Great pub!

Staff aok and a fair choice of beers but their food availability seems to always be a long wait or about to close early as their chef has gone home or just not there! This happens most nights!

Waited ages for food . Chips were cold .

Lovely staff & a excellent Sunday roast.

Honestly not worth the time. By far the worst pub I’ve ever been too.

Pets friendly 👍 very good food and drinks I'm impressed , well done 👏

Good value for money and good portion sizes had a sharers for x2 plus a roast beef dinner each, lovely, even better as dog friendly

Great experience got here on a Saturday just after 12. Staff were attentive and courteous. Good food and prices. Wanted a drink not in tap which one of the staff went and got the reserve box for. Overall for what we paid great experience on a lazy Saturday afternoon.

Nice food for the price, would recommend and will visit again.

Fast and excellent service, food was lovely as always, my girls gave it 10/10 especially the biscoff cheesecake

Ordered a roast and a chicken and rib combo, food was great, friendly staff and no wait times. Great atmosphere in this place too! Will defo be coming back!!!

Great experience, Ellie and cerys were very funny and attentive. Will be back soon

Great experience, 2 lovely ladies at the bar Ellie and kat were very friendly and our server lily was fantastic. Mixed grills cooked perfect

Excellent welcome and service, food very good and good value for money Dog friendly

Brillant service and food was fab thankyou

Went here with a couple friends and had a blast. Mo the manager was very attentive as was all the over staff. New menu was great - loving the new ribs and their wide drink selection. I’ll be back in a couple weeks for the live music they have on

This place has a huge menu, definitely something for everyone! Food was delicious, they also have a lot of offers on so it was great value. The staff are incredibly helpful and cheerful, plus the Christmas decorations are amazing. I will be back with the family so they can see

This is one of our favourite places to come for a treat, the staff are so helpful and they have lots of different areas you can choose to sit in! The food is always delicious and hot, plus the staffs knowledge for their drink range is phenomenal.

Went for a meal with the missus and was very well looked after The food and new menu looked and tasted amazing Special mention to a lady called mo .... she went above and beyond to give us the real greene king experience If i could give more than 5 stars i would

Nobody at the bar on arrival. Then someone appeared after 2 minutes and said '2 seconds fella'. Was led to my table. No greeting. No mention of registering my car reg no. No explanation on how/where to order. Food took ages to arrive. Garlic mushrooms were rock hard on the outside and slimy in the middle. Steak was ridiculously tough. Hardly any chips. Peas not cooked. Nobody once asked how things were. So I ate what I could and left. I think Greene King need to retrain their staff.

Cooked chicken birthday cake and managed well perfectly done 👍👍

Came here for lunch with my twins. The bar staff were really welcoming and friendly. We stayed for food and was served by mo. She was lovely and really sweet, couldn’t do enough for you. The staff here today are a credit to this business. I didn’t catch the lady and man’s name behind the bar but they were brilliant. Thankyou

Ordered the wings and American chicken burger. Seriously, the wings were smaller than a budgies. The American burger was dryer than Gandhi's flip flops. We will never go back.

I ordered the mushroom garlic bake, it came out as a mushroom garlic cheese bake. Well it came out well over baked and microwaved, the case was black and soft in one place, rock hard in 90%, peas were stone cold and chips undercooked, in fact the 10 chips I had. Gravy wasn't veggie gravy, but was the only thing hot. Will not be eaten there again.

Lovely pub, great food and lovely friendly staff. Thank you.

Came in recently for a family birthday. Don’t usually review, but really enjoyed our time there. Really friendly staff, all looked well organised and food was tasty! Would definitely come again!

Amazing Local pub, serving great food with an incredible selection of beers. Service was friendly and efficient, the whole team were happy to accommodate us even though we were a large group. Will definitely go back!!!!

Fab food! Also service was brill with a friendly welcome and great atmosphere.

Highly recommend! Great atmosphere and staff were so friendly. Will definitely be back

Great food, great staff, a really enjoyable evening, thank you

Food was lovely came out in great time, wait wasn’t very long

Just been for meal at coach and horses supposedly new menu put it this way won't be going again friendly staff but food was atrocious

Went there for some food and they said 1 and half wait ,by by not happening

Visited the coach and horses yesterday, great new menu had a chicken and rib combo was amazing, great sticky ribs and moist crispy chicken, defo recommend. We then followed it with a sticky toffee cheesecake, was delicious. Staff were friendly and helpful. Can’t wait to go back

Bit of a disappointing meal, steak.. with 13 chips, 3rd of them no longer than an inch... It looked pathetic on the plate, so I counted. It was thus nott enough to last the meal, meat on its own does not make enjoyable meal. Not sure I'll come back, spend 3rd of the price and get 3 peoples worth of chips up the road

Came in today for the new menu and tried the rib combo. The food was great and came out quickly. Staff were friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend

Average pint prices for Portsmouth but not cheaper than Green Posts. Clean pub and friendly atmosphere. Food looks standard but it’s nice to sit outside in the sun. Two drinks £10-12

Excellent choice on menu, delicious food served hot, friendly staf 😁

I really like this pub. Nice atmosphere cheap food, and great weekday deals… however there’s never enough staff. I always find myself in a queue at the bar for 15 minutes at a time because there is only one bar tender and one food server. The staff are lovely and attentive but I feel like they have been overlooked by the organisation and should be allowed to put one more person in especially on busy nights (I went on pay day & bank holiday and still only one person at the bar with full house!)

Great spot for a long lunch, we went for the two classics option for £12.99 and it was all delicious! It's very clean inside and the staff are friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back again with the kids for dinner soon!

Visited here recently with a friend who was working in the atea and thought the bar looked amazing, vibrant and very welcoming - great selection of food & drinks. The layout of the pub was quite fascinating and had a lovely atmosphere. Lots going on for Easter and could see they had a raffle. Would recommend.

Went there for a family meal made very welcome and they have a carparking system set up when you go in you register your registration number in the touch screen to add car to the system. food was well presented and hot a nice enjoyable meal

Nice food and quick service. Had a mixed grill and it was all cooked really well.

Great place to have a meal. The food is excellent and great service by really friendly staff. Highly recommend the Coach & Horses.

Been to Greene king few times but this place is way different(food wise). Not only food comes to table quick but fresh and tasty! Will be my go to pub for sure! Highly recommend 👌🏻

Deuchars was on when I visited, very nice.

The reason for rating to high-priced on gluten-free food was disappointing very small portion felt like a starter would not recommend based on small portions Had a chilli chicken about 1 to 2 inch in size with about a table spoon of sauce and top it off with that a around 1 ladle scoop of rice with a small corn on the cob they must be on rashings for those not on gluten free get 10 times more sise portions very disappointed I will stay clear.
