The Coach and Horses in Pembrokeshire

Found this pub on second night in Tenby and so glad we did. Lovely welcome and service was good. Food was fantastic with generous portions and although place wasn't full there was still a good atmosphere. Will definitely pay a visit next time we visit Tenby

Very poor. On the 2nd of Nov. 2024.We (my husband and I) ordered the 8oz Sirloin with triple cooked chips, pepper sauce and garlic bread. What we received was the (to the picture) the 7oz steak that could have been purchased on a sizzling platter for £10. (Our meal was £73. It came on a plate with a forest of side salad with a drizzle of mayonnaise. (Unlike the peas on the sizzling platter ). Our triple cooked chips were barely warm pale oven chips in a wire basket roasted cherry tomatoes which was the warmest part of the meal besides the garlic bread. For ten pounds more we could have had a well worth the money meal in a restaurant in town. Such a disappointment! And felt ripped off! This was a birthday meal and we had returned because the meals were so lovely but it has clearly changed hands since then.

Absolutely incredible food served by very patient, attentive and welcoming servers at a very fair price.

Best pint of Guinness I've had for a very long time. Perfectly poured.

Good beer, friendly service and the Thai food was great. Definitely worth a visit if you want to mix a traditional English pub with different cuisine. Good choice and fair prices for excellent food.

Great curries, a good welcome and service

Had a five night stay near Tenby and had two meals here, but could have quite happily eaten here every night! Excellent choice of food…typical gastropub or a Thai menu. Ordered meals from both menus and every plate of food was fantastic! Really huge portions! Staff are friendly, and the atmosphere good…loved the music play list!

Excellent pub with very big meals.I opted for Scampi whilst my wife had the Phuket noodles.Had draughts cokeand wife had medium Malbec.The meal were large.Our server was fantastic.

Having been before on other visits to Tenby we were looking forward to a meal here. The offer of curry of the day does make you think it’s the Thai curry the pub / restaurant is famous for but alas not - a tikka masala??!!?! The steak offer is decent and we had that and a Thai green curry. What shocked us most was the cost of kids meal - 2 sausages, chips and peas £9.95. Really?? Dick Turpin was around when the oldest pub in Tenby was opened! The service was ok and the curry and steak really nice! We would go again for an adult meal but not a kids meal. Even side portions of chips were £5.95?

We were in Tenby for a few days, chose The Coach & Horses as it had good options for a pescatarian. We have to give this pub 5 STARS for food, atmosphere and hospitality! We thoroughly enjoyed it here. My husband had the whitebait for starters and couldn't believe how many there were! I had the homemade carrot & coriander soup and it was delicious! Made by the manager himself Vio who was such a lovely chap & made our experience all the more better with his attention to detail, friendliness & overall professional but warm welcome. Our main course was scampi for me & pork for my husband. Again, delicious and huge portions! We enjoyed the food, the welcome & the atmosphere so much that despite the fact that Tenby has so many eateries on offer, we decided to book again the following evening. We were only staying 2 days in Tenby but I think if we had been staying longer we would've eaten there every night! Why go anywhere else when The Coach & Horses has everything you want & need? You'd be a fool if you didn't pop in at least once in your stay! We look forward to visiting Tenby again next year & if course, visiting The Coach & Horses! Thank you Vio & all your staff for your hospitality!

Fabulous steak sizzler...a steak cooking on the plate. 10.95 when we were there. Dylan Thomas drank here!!. Peppercorn sauce could have been more tiny pot for £4. Onion rings massive portion. Garlic bread with cheese massive portion

We will definitely return the food and wine was great as well as the atmosphere 👌

A lovely lil hidden gem,warm welcome, amazing food, great prices.

It's a great looking pub with plenty of history. Reckoned to be the oldest pub in the town. Famously Dylan Thomas visited in 1953 and got so drunk that he left his manuscript of Under Milk Wood in the bar! The menu looked good but we enjoy a decent pint with our meal and unfortunately they don't serve cask ale which was very disappointing causing us to move on.

Beautifully prepared and service with a smile Very friendly to all

Lovely & unexpected hidden gem. Great food & service from Cornel. Outstanding Thai food, great fish n chips, beautiful burgers.

Food focused, strange welcome more friendly if dining I suspect. Unusual pricing policy with drinks, odd. 99p and if spending under £10 cash only.

Delicious food with generous portions, good value for money. Waiters really friendly and went the extra mile to give us what we wanted. Highly recommend and would return again.

Great atmosphere friendly and welcoming staff

Luckily we had booked a table in advance as we saw other customers being turned away. The service was friendly and efficient. We ordered gammon, egg and chips and a Penang king prawn curry. Both meals were excellent.

Very prompt, friendly and efficient service. Really interesting menu matched by excellent food and wine. Great place too. Good enough for Dylan Thomas once.

Gorgeous food and outstanding customer service. I booked a table last minute and when we got there the staff sat us straight away and were very friendly. There was both english and Thai menus. I had the most amazing prawn curry, the corgettes were very fresh and there were lots of prawns, it’s the best curry I have ever had you could tell it was freshly prepared. My husband had noodles which he also enjoyed. The friendly lady and gentleman waiters showed exceptional customer service, checked on us often and doubled checked if everything was ok and if we needed more drinks. Cant thank all the staff enough, we had a very lovely romantic evening.

Really good food, great service and nice and clean pub. We had a few starters and 3 mains and a few drinks cost £120 but was worth it.

Staff friendly, great atmosphere and cosy surroundings. Full of history.

Wow this was a great find on my first night in Tenby. I enjoyed a lovely Thai dinner with wine. Sooooo tasty and full of flavor. I highly recommend. I’m only in town for three nights but already thinking about returning here. Just perfect. Quick and good service. And cozy.

Great place to rest and have a beer.

As regulars in west Wales, we have been trying lots of different places. The Coach and Horses is such an interesting place- link to Dylan Thomas, etc. The decor sets the tone and is very muddled, traditional pub with Asian accents. It advertises authentic Thai food but the curry was a strange gloopy consistency with huge chunks of courgette. Not inedible but not authentic. Staff were lovely but it needs to decide what it is and ditch the Thai food. It isn’t good. The pub grub was better

Just come from here disappointed is a understatement we were cramped up like sardines the steak was drenched in garlic it should state on menu im sixl as. A dog because of this won't be returning

Came here Sunday evening. Both enjoyed Thai curries (I had green, wife had red). Enjoyable although not quite up to the standard from a traditional thai. Shared a starter (the mixed sharer I think) which was also very nice. Not too spicy and quite flavoursome. I enjoy fruit in my mains like you get at authentic thai places but know this isn't for everyone. Overall would recommending. Decent value for money

Great atmosphere, food was excellent and plenty of it , staff friendly, great service 10/10

Welcoming, great service, warm atmosphere and lovely food. Thank you Coach and Horses.

Nice old pub with good food and friendly staff 👌 not bad prices either

A nice little pub in the backstreets of Tenby, with a fair choice of alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks. There is also Thai curry available and a bit of other food and some snacks. We had a nice evening there and enjoyed watching the England v Netherlands game with a drink or two. A welcome and cosy little escape from the cold a blustery seafront that night!

We had a very pleasant time with you.

Stopped for lunch with the family. Good food (the Mega Cod is huge), pleasant service, historic venue, small clean beer garden for smokers. Apparently Dylan Thomas left his manuscript for Under Milk Wood at the tavern when he visited and got plastered. Decent range of drinks. Reasonable prices considering location.

An absolute scam. Cheating customers. Ordered the mega "cod on steroids" and a friend ordered the scampi. When it arrived, the cod looked massive (See pics) but when cutting into it, the batter was hard and the meagre amount of fish stale! It was 90% batter. The scampi were practically empty shells, both served with soggy undercooked chips. Complained to the bar staff but just went red and said nothing they could do. £42 down the toilet, an absolute disgrace.

After reading the menu decided to try this establishment sadly the “mega” fish was awful it was greasy and the plate was loaded with unnecessary garnish. Similarly the gammon was not very appetising as this too was greasy and again contained a substantial amount of unnecessary garnish. Would definitely not use this establishment again

The fish was so big it had to be broken in half to fit on the plate! I’ve been visiting Tenby for nearly 50 years and had never stepped foot in this pub before, that being the case I’m now kicking myself as this is by far the best meal I have ever eaten in Tenby in all the years I have been coming here. We had a green Thai curry and cod and chips. The portions are huge and full of high quality produce; The fish was so big it had to be broken in half to fit on the plate! Unfortunately I couldn’t finish it all which was disappointing as it was so tasty. The green Thai curry was also amazing… Staff are very friendly and there is a nice warm and cosy atmosphere. Everyone looked like they were impressed with their meals.. My only regret is that I have missed going in this place for many many years. First class.

This was a strange one to review. It started really well but finished like a damp squib. The pub is very old and cosy. We were welcomed by friendly staff and we chose to eat from the Thai menu. Starter and main course were excellent and served promptly. Both staff in turn asked if all was well with the food and we heartily agreed. But there it all ended. We would have asked for a dessert and coffee. Our waiting staff just kept drifting by without eye contact and we felt quite ignored. So that was that, half a meal. We paid up and went.

A superb place to eat and drink with the family.

Highly recommend this place, food atmosphere and staff are fabulous. Extremely clean. Fantastic music, fantastic service.

We shared the daily soup - tomato basil - fresh and delicious. Then thankfully shared the Fish & Chips. Fantastic enormous portion even when shared. Fish was fresh and hand battered. Delicious!!

Another banging restaurant with fantastic large portion food dishes. Actually, it's pretty outstanding, to be fair. It is lovely, old, and small, and with its wooden beams and fireplace, and old age history that can still be seen where ever you look. it adds such a great place to visit. I simply love old pubs like this. Their meals were fast to order to table it in no time.

We love this pub, quaint & cosy. We made it our first pub when we arrived in Tenby. Very nice food. We will always make this one of favourite places for drinks and food. Not the usual hustle you get in other pubs.

I am sorry but you shouldn’t be serving Thai food at all. Nothing is authentic about Thai food. Just a packet sauce from the corner shop. Old owners were related to thailand and probably cooking themselves. You should stick to traditional pub food. (Lover of Thai food and regular traveller to Thailand)

The food was amazing and the staff were very friendly and polite will defo be came back again in the future

Had a lovely lunch here. Beautifully presented. Even my jacket potato with tuna and sweetcorn boys enjoyed special lunch menu. Chicken tikka and jasmine rice and steak and chips. Garlic bread and crispy squid amazing . Recommended

Visited this lovely traditionally looking pub agsin and the food was wonderful!

Massive portions 👌🏻, Tasty food and good prices 😊

The food was amazing . Ate in there 2 nights on the trot!

Terrible food.Steak was cold, frozen powdery chips, microwaved lasagne, cheap coleslaw.Well over priced and will never eat there again..

Quite a varied menu, all of it very well cooked and presented. We came here two nights in a row and wanted to come here a third time but the kitchen wasn't open yet. Only possible complaint is that one evening I ordered a lamb steak, but it tasted very much like beef - maybe I can't tell the difference.

What a fabulous place from the time we came in until we left the food was fantastic and I’m very fussy my steak was cooked to perfection. The staff could not do more for you

We did not have food on this occasion but the food looked delicious so will be trying food next time 😋

Fitted us in at short notice food and service was great Highly recommend

Everything about this place is warm and friendly. We initially only popped in for a quick drink and plan to go elsewhere for food. However, after walking around we decided to return to the coach and horses for our evening meal. I'm very glad we did . The staff were polite, professional and always at hand. If we needed anything. The food was amazing. You would not think it, but this traditional English looking pub serves amazing Thai food.

We always eat here when in Tenby as we love Thai food and it never disappoints. I had Lemongrass and ginger king prawn stir fry and my Husband had Penang Curry. Both absolutely fabulous and great service.

Sometimes you get lucky with amazing Thai food in unexpected places. This is not one of them. I couldn’t eat even half my main - from the Thai menu - noodles with chicken. The chicken was chewy and overcooked. The noodles were incredibly salty. My toddler kept asking for water after trying some, so I know it wasn’t just me. There were random cannellini beans floating around in there. Never seen that in a Thai dish before. The starter - duck spring rolls were ok, not amazing but not terrible. My husband had to pick out bones from his fish. Decent chips and peas, though. We were the only customers, at least on our side of the pub. So that should have given us a clue, really. I am annoyed I spent £56 here on partially inedible food.

Didn't eat, very nice conversation with regulars...good pub.

Unfortunately, the food here only tastes average, but it is too expensive. The portions are also not very large. But the service is friendly and the ambience is also quite nice.

I was lured in by the offer of a lamb shank on the outside of the building. Only to read on the menu that lamb is not available. Seems like this has been going on for a while, otherwise why bother writing around in the map? That was the first disappointment. The guest room has some bumps and obstacles for the head. Even though the staff pointed this out to me, I stumbled again. The toilets urgently need to be modernized. The drinks menu doesn't deserve this name. They only know wines, cocktails (a very limited selection) and schnapps. Beer and soft drinks? The staff will be able to tell. I ordered a local beer and what I received couldn't be a crueler insult to a German beer drinker. Unfortunately I didn't understand the name of this drink, but I could have drunk some water. The selection of food is not outstanding. You can find all of this in other pubs too. Then I ordered some Thai cuisine. The taste is okay, the prawns are particularly tasty, but the price is outrageous. Totally overpriced for the quantity. Conclusion: mediocre pub

Beautiful old pub with great history, but the food was very expensive for a pub. The Thai aspect of the pub makes almost no sense as well. You go to sit in an old historic Welsh pub at the seaside and the walls are covered with Thai decorations.

It's a great old-fashioned pub with lots of personality and a fantastic character. The service was really good and food arrived really fast following ordering.

This place is like a traditional old fashioned pub, there are not many left like it! This was our second visit, and it did not disappoint. They serve absolutely delicious Thai food, along with good old pub grub, so something for everyone. Found the service really good & friendly. We will certainly return for a third visit ;-)

Shockingly bad overcooked food. Place was completely empty yet we were squeezed onto a small table. The steak sizzlers were abysmal totally over cooked like chewing shoe leather. Overpriced rubbish do not waste your money

Lovely food, excellent service, and an amazing building!

Fabulous meal in lovely surroundings with excellent food and good quality cold beer . The service was excellent and overall a thoroughly enjoyable experience

Proper quaint pub with a fire. Good music, and lovely lager (Staropramen). Very nice feel.

Had a lovely evening meal food was amazing so tasty and fresh .. cosy old pub with caring staff couldn’t fault a thing just sad we are going home tomorrow as would definitely return best food we have had all week … thanks so much and if ever back in Tenby we will be in 😊

I cannot praise this restaurant enough.The atmosphere and service is second to none and the food is hot,well cooked and presented beautifully. The best restaurant in Tenby....please dine there...you won't be disappointed.

Popped in for a quick lunch. Love the old traditional aesthetics of this place. Warm welcome with great friendly service. You won’t go hungry eating here, the food is a very good standard too.

Music was great but the food not so. Frozen squid, standard, and main course lacked flavour, Waiter didn’t ask how the food was!

Amazing pub! A lovely old pub with lots of personality and a fantastic vibe. We had dinner here and both had an item off of the thai menu, and without a doubt was the best thai food we had ever had. Good veggie options and such amazing tasty food. Great cask ales, two hand pumps on and both were in great condition. Really lovely staff, very happy to help me with dietary requirements, and my partner's favourite part of the evening was when he put a tip in the jar and the bar staff rung a bell and you could hear the chef shout thank you from the kitchen!

Manager/owner not at all helpful but was good food and a lovely pub

Very friendly staff and lovely food. We both had Thai, which was very tasty. We didn’t have to wait long but it was wasn’t rushed.

Another great evening meal at the coach and horses.. the food was delicious.. I had the sizzling steak in a black pepper and garlic sauce flambé’d with brandy (it was on the specials menu).. it was cooked to perfection and had so much flavour! Friendly staff.. and nice beer / cocktails.. you can’t go wrong! :)

Lovely meal for me and my partner. They made her a vegan Thai curry which was amazing

Took our booking for a meal on New years Eve then cancelled the second we turned up , staff didn’t give a toss , plain rude

Food was excellent, service was great definitely worth another visit next time down thi way

We are in Tenby for a few days we found the Coach & Horses just by the hotel, We asked if they had a table for two yes was the answer, The wife and I both had starters and steaks for the main meal both were excellent , Very clean and a good atmosphere and greeted with a smile well worth a visit.

Really good food, beer, service and value

Booked at short notice as had to visit family due to a loss. The food was well cooked and presented. Good value and service impeccable.

Really great food especially the Thai food. A warm and pleasant atmosphere with great background music. Very attentive service. Definitely recommend

Beautiful food, best Thai green curry I've ever had.

Very friendly pub, great atmosphere, games corner with loads of board games, jenga, cards etc for kids. Great music all night...mainly mowtown, 60s-90s. Staff were brilliant with the kids and good quality pints! Very clean and welcoming.

Absolute best steak and chips anywhere 7.99 very friendly staff and very cosy def recommended 11/10

Great little pub, it's a gem. The food is great

Cosy pub with a slightly old fashioned vibe and none the worse for that! We are there and the food was great and good value. I had fish and chips which was HUGE. My partner had a Thai fish dish which was also very nice.

Nice proper pub, cosy with good service.

This pub was a great find in Tenby. It was cosy, old and traditional and had a good atmosphere. They played some great music which wasn’t too loud or too low, and even did cocktails! We didn’t eat here as had pre-booked our meals for our 4 night stay, however it was amongst the list of recommendations to eat at our B&B so would book a table next time we’re in Tenby.

Brilliant historic pub with real local beer! 👍🏼🍻 Great atmosphere, fantastic & friendly staff, great menu. 🤩

Staff have to share tips even though only 1 barman deserved them, why am I tipping a barman who was so rude, unwelcoming and ignorant, a tip is for someone who deserves it, not for a disrespectful ungrateful arrogant individual like the tall bald guy they have working there, if you have no people skills then the public sector in a tourist town is not for you, only giving the 1 star because of the 1 barman who had a smile on his face

Incredible thai food in lovely charafterful old pub. Freshly made and super authentic would highly recommend.

Staff were so polite and professional, Thai food was so delicious and it was nice and cosy in there. We played a game of Jenga while waiting for our food. That was good fun! Compliments to the chefs. ❤️

We visited the Coach and Horses during a short break in Tenby. The pub was lovely and cosy, staff were warm and welcoming, the service was great and the food was excellent. Highly recommend!

Lovely pub. Prices quite expensive.

Faulty Towers had nothing on this place, we ordered duck pancake rolls to start, menu state 6 with hoi sin sauce. The plate arrived with 4 on it I complained to be told that was correct until I asked the waiter to look at the...

On a recent visit to Tenby found this place and was impressed. The food is mainly Thai based and there is a good choice on the menu. Both my husband and I had the dim sum selection which was tasty. The staff very friendly too....would...

On weekend away with daughter in Tenby, came upon Coach and Horses by chance, so glad we did: * Such friendly staff * Excellent food * Extremely well priced Will visit again when next in Tenby

My mum and I enjoyed a lovely evening meal during our stay in Tenby. Nice food, friendly staff. Traditional pub. Pub classics plus Thai options.
