The Coach and Horses in Norwich

Ah sure Jesus its a grand pub! Staff were utter gems and the atmosphere was on point! Pure gorgeous pint of stout and Jameson was on point.

What a great find friendly staff good food and a comfortable atmosphere. Also a good selection of beers and ciders. Dog friendly

A decent old pub, with guest ales on tap.

Good range of real ales and the two we chose were excellent.

New new review time... see end edit.. New review time. Visited today for a drink and roasts for me and the Mrs. Very friendly staff and the roasts were delicious! I had the Pork belly and the good lady had chicken. Roast pots, roasted carrots and parsnips were spot on and the gravy proppa tasty! Yum, yum, looking to return very soon 😋 Also, we love the pub, the good ole traditional decor, excellent range of drinks, just feels right! I wish I lived nearer.... Thanks guys and girls... Edit... Visited the 16/11 for a drink with the Mrs. A pint of Session ale for me and half an Amstel shandy for her was £10.55!!! Suffice to say, we didn't have anymore drinks there! Went on to the Plough St Benedicts and the same sort of drinks and a packet of nuts was £8.65..... 😲 wow

Sunday evening, popped in and the atmosphere was great. A lovely clean cosy traditional pub. Although we hadn’t booked they quickly squeezed us in. We opted for a beef roast. It came with roast potatoes, seasonal veg and Yorkshire puddings. We also added pork stuffing. It was incredible- best roast I’ve had in a while. Great service, friendly atmosphere- fabulous food!

Had our post civil partnership “do” here. Absolutely amazing. Food was brilliant and staff so helpful and friendly.

Lunch with friends in this wonderful old building full of character in the city centre. We had the tapas menu which was delicious. Friendly staff, a warm atmosphere & a definite return visit is on the cards.

During our recent stay in Norwich we visited The Coach and Horses a couple of times for both food and drinks. The staff were very friendly and welcoming, the beer was a good quality, especially the Cask ale “Coach”, this went down very easily:) The food was excellent, served as small Tapas style portions and well priced, so with a couple of selections each, was plenty to share around the table. Would definitely recommend.

The staff are really friendly and the food is good, a good selection of beers well worth a visit. We are in Norwich to see family but will definitely return when we are next here

Great bar billards table in the back room

Lovely bar staff with comfortable surroundings.

Great range of beers. Have to book for food though

My son hired the whole pub for his 40th birthday party for 80 people. Nice buffet good atmosphere in a traditional pub. Helpful and friendly staff.

Nice pub, sausage rolls looked amazing and i’m regretting not having one. The cider I had wasn’t amazing but that’s not entirely the fault of the pub

Not eaten here so can’t comment on that. Excellent selection of real ales, always kept well. Friendly bar staff. Bar billiards available which is amazing. Really nice interior.

I made a last minute booking here for a pre theatre meal and I didn't know what to expect but what a find! When booking I was asked about any food allergies or intolerances of which I have a couple. We were warmly greeted on arrival. Much to my surprise and the first time ever I was given a separate menu where someone had taken the trouble to cross out the meals/ items I would not be able to have. What a help it was not having to trawl through a menu checking myself. Even though there were tapas I couldn't have there was still plenty of choice. We ordered a selection and the server who took our order knowledgeably answered our questions on portion sizes. When our food arrived everything was well presented and all tasted delicious. We were extremely impressed with everything including the polite and friendly staff. If we hadn't had a theatre show to attend we would have stayed longer.

Only ordered drinks here, but the bar staff were extremely friendly and helpful, even offering to order me a taxi on a Saturday evening. Looking forward to go back there sometime!

It's simple, The Coach and Horses is a lovely old pub with the most amazing food, which is why you are best to book a table to avoid disappointment. The staff are lovely and friendly. I also love that they have a non smoking area outside.

Lovely pub. Friendly staff. Great food. Good beer.

Tasty and affordable small plates, slightly let down by an okay beer range. Old pub atmosphere + good size garden for a city centre pub!

My wife and sons, aged 18 and 16, had dinner (the tapas) and drinks. Our adult son had a beer with us and after my wife bought him a second beer the mangeress (who, in stark contrast to the woman serving at the bar who was kind and personable) stormed over to us, aggressively interrupted our family conversation and treated us as if we were criminals. She grabbed our son’s drink and told us either we drink it or she would take it. We did not understand what she was talking about at first then it became apparent that she was acting out some internal narrative of her own as the assertive bar manager dealing with difficult customers. Either through colossal inexperience or arrogant entitlement she spoke to us in a completely inappropriate and non-customer focused way. My son, who turned 18 five months ago was mortified and my wife was so upset she just left. This woman urgently needs training on how to treat people with respect. It is clear to us now that she was concerned that her bar staff had not checked my son’s ID but the way she reacted to this was appalling and extremely rude. I have never experienced such bad customer service. Avoid this establishment at all costs!

Great service, the G.O.A.T goats cheese flatbread was amazing, and there is a large outdoor seating area out the back!

Lovely old school pub with welcoming and friendly staff, food was excellent and great value for money. There was a good selection of choices off their tapas menu and overall was superb!

This pub was almost next door to our holiday flat so we went a few times during our stay. What a lovely place, incredibly friendly staff, spacious and comfortable. Lovely to see an old bar billiards still in use as entertainment. There is a large beer garden out the back which was a perfect haven during the heatwave. The menu was interesting and the quality of the food was great. The best thing, after aging to walk out of many places because of too loud and terrible music, this pub was nice and peaceful and we could hear ourselves talk. Wonderful bar

Disappointed after visiting on my birthday for Sunday lunch. Reviews looked great, when booking I was advised that we may have to wait for food orders due to how busy they get to which I was happy with. Arrived to an empty restaurant so our food arrived quickly, I had a roast dinner and was so disappointed, it really was basic, and looked, felt and tasted microwaved so therefore I didn't really eat it. However my partner had some tapas pieces which he really enjoyed. Staff were friendly and helpful.

The place itself is lovely, especially inside. However, the outside is less impressive, with a very narrow passage leading to the tables at the back, causing people to rub against each other constantly. Reportedly, the food is good, though we can’t confirm this ourselves. When we went to order, we were told they weren’t taking any orders from people without reservations due to high demand and limited food supply. And this was on a Friday evening! This is what I call bad planning. We had to rely on our scarce supplies ;) Anyway, we’re going to give it another chance soon.

It is a nice small pub with busy crowd of People

Beer is awful tried 3 real ales all of them awful they were all flat with no head we were a group of eight and all our beers were the same very disappointing

Brilliant friendly staff and exceptional food and portion size. We're sure to return !

Great pub! Really friendly staff, dog friendly and the Sunday roast was one of the best I’ve had in a long while

Very good atmosphere, nice people but often to crowded. Very nice at early evening or late afternoons

Delicious food served by friendly staff

Really lovely, cosy spot with friendly staff

Lovely old pub, the building dates back to 1760. A great place to sit and sup an ale

Excellent tapas, good value too. Attractive pub.

Great pub with a games cupboard, we love it here!

Not too be confused with the other Coach and Horses, or the other Coach and Horses, this Coach and Horses packs a lot into a small space and its one of my favourites in Norwich. Lovely Sunday evening quiz (last sun of the month I think). Good laugh, well pitched questions from a great quiz host. Nice tapas bites to eat. Recommended.

If you’re from London don’t go here . The bar man obvs doesn’t get people having a good time !

We visited here on Saturday bank holiday weekend. They warned us it would be busy so we arrived early. The service was excellent; attentive, helpful and friendly. The food was very tasty and well presented.

Met a friend here for lunch. The atmosphere seemed cheerful and the furniture and decor was dark, woody and cosy. We were shown to our table and the young waiter was very polite, friendly but professional, and attentive to our needs. We ordered four types of tapas: white bait, duck spring rolls, a walnut and goats cheese salad and cod goujons. Apart from the white bait being too strong for my taste the food was lovely. I had a lovely thirst-quenching ginger beer and my friend had tap water. We both chose the apple and berry crumble and custard for dessert, which was absolutely delicious!!!! The pricing was very reasonable and we really enjoyed ourselves while we were there and were surrounded by people also having a good time! We'll be back!!

Lovely, great staff, very dog friendly!

I went here for Sunday roast and it was absolutely wonderful. I like every component in the dish especially the gravy. I would say this is one of the best Sunday roast in my life. I also ordered salt and pepper squid, and that was very good as well.

I love this pub and have been coming here for years. Four of us visited again for food a few weeks ago as its a great place to stop before/after going to the theatre. The tapas are really tasty with a selection of food to suit everyone and are good value. Unfortunately the reason this visit only gets 3 stars is as follows: The bar service was really slow, all diners were put in the back side of the pub which was dark and cold, yet the side by the windows which was warmer and brighter (and also makes the place look more attractive seeing people eating in the window), was empty. Lastly my mum got some chewing gum stuck on the arm of her coat when she had folded it over her chair. Yes this might have only been put there, but when we left and told the bar lady, she didn't look interested or concerned at all and didn't offer any help to my mum to try and get it off or indicate that action would be taken to remove it on the chair. Just put a downer on the whole experience really as my mum couldn't wear the coat and had to get it dry cleaned. I will be back and will update my review again, but on this occasion we were disappointed.

Top venue for a Sunday Lunch. Visited there twice in the last couple of months. Food was excellent and they catered for my wife's allergies very well.

Friendly, warm, decent selection of real ales and a great little pub, whether you want to have a cosy winter's evening or a summer afternoon in the beer garden.

Nice local pub in the city center of Norwich just few minutes walk from Norwich market. Big variety of beers and drinks and very nice atmosphere.

Turned up at 1230on Sunday lunch with only a few tables occupied and was told by the staff that they weren't taking any walk-ins today! There was hardly anyone there! Don't they want the business? There were only the 2 of us! I felt like getting my mobile out and ringing them there and then to book a table for then, but a quick Google search took us to the nearby Lanb Inn, where the staff were much more amenable and found us a table. Won't be back.

Lovely pub, great staff. Food looked delicious.

What a find Tapos on a Wednesday First class

Lovely pub great food great service

Amazing food, staff and atmosphere at a really good price. Looking to plan another visit already! Super close to the theatre for a pre-show meal too.

Six of us enjoyed a selection of tapas. We could bring the dog. There was a good atmosphere and it had a cosy feel. Thank you for catering for gluten free.

We came here previously for the 2016 City of Ale Trail and found it to be an excellent pub for the real ale enthusiast. Returning yesterday, after an eight year gap, the pub was equally inviting with a terrific selection of ales.

Visited here for the first time last night and wasn't disappointed! We booked early for a pre theatre meal and the food was served in plenty of time . The tapas dishes were all very good and service was great too. Would love to visit again.

Wandering around Norwich and needed some lunch so we came here. So worth it! We had a comfy seat by the fire, the service was fantastic and the food delicious. It was really well priced and we came away satisfied and I thought it was so good I've been telling loads of people, although I've got to re-tell them as being a kiwi and not living here, my navigational skills are not up to par! We had lamb sliders, thai salmon and prawn cakes, salad and cajun chicken goujons chips and fries - all very tasty and shareable.

Lovely local pub. Great range of beer. Friendly staff👍

Lovely tasty meal, especially the crumble and custard. Friendly and helpful staff

Rainy Tuesday afternoon, I really fancied a nice pint of Guinness, I have never been here before but it looked nice from the outside. The pub was fairly empty as I was early but the fire was blazing and the staff were really friendly. As the pub got busier the food started to come out and my god the smell was immense and it looked to die for. To top it off, I noticed it was Dog Friendly and has Bar Billiards. My new favourite pub in Norwich, the Guinness is smooth too. Lush!

Having booked a couple of weeks ago for a a celebratory Saturday lunchtime with friends and colleagues I had to change numbers at the last minute which was no issue. I had pre-ordered various tapas dishes and these were served together with some extras ordered after we arrived. The staff were all lovely and helpful. The food looked and tasted good. The pub was quite busy and had a nice atmosphere. I would recommend a visit and will be going back again soon.

Ideal pre match warm up! Plenty of space. Loads of local real ales. Aspall draught cider, or some fruity cider options. Nice pub grub simple pre match finger food. A warm welcome for away fans. Sports on TV. Outside gazebo leading into the pub where you can sit. 10 minute down hill walk to stadium where it brings you out to the away end. 5 minute walk from stadium. A great experience all round pub that offers something for everyone.

Great food service and atmosphere.

Just had a beautifully presented tapas meal in here and a bottle of wine 🍷 perfect atmosphere

Went in for a pre Christmas pint and food. The staff there are lovely especially Beth. Food was great too. Will be visiting again.

We went here for the food portion of our works Christmas night out. Absolutely delicious buffet, with plenty of variety and lots for everyone to have a decent amount of each dish. Really impressed at how they catered for our coeliac guest, showing they were aware of cross contamination and doing what they can to keep them safe. A wide variety of drinks, decent prices and a lovely atmosphere. Many of the 30 or so people we were there with loved it, and said they would be going there again.

Nice ales on the bar great tapas and pleasant ambience.

Lovely tapas style dishes tasty and well presented, busy dining room but well served. No hesitation in recommending.

Just had a family party here, excellent service. Staff and food excellent 👌 could not off been any nicer. Highly recommended.

Lovely cosy pub in the heart of Norwich, close to the Forum car park. Great Sunday roast, traditional feeling pub. I'd definitely recommend it

I’ve been a customer of this pub on and off, for over 25 years. I’m ex military, and I’m now disabled, walking with a stick… After buying a round of drinks, and accidentally knocking them over, because of my disability, I actually got thrown out of this bar because of my disability. I have never been so disappointed in an organisation in my life./… I would also like to reiterate, the beer has gone Up above the rate of inflation . The pub is lost all of its original values, and it’s now “pretentious, and It’s lost its original values… Quite frankly it is mismanaged by morons

Great tapas and the staff were super helpful getting us a table despite it being reserved for later in the day.

Great seating area, atmosphere, pleasant drinking .Hot food is available.

Always a great Sunday roast dinner here and a fine selection of ales.

I recently visited the Coach and Horses pub in Norwich and had a delightful experience. The tapas selection was impressive, especially the tacos and halloumi. The total cost for 3 drinks and 6 tapas dishes was around £55. The waiter was attentive, contributing to the overall enjoyable atmosphere. I would highly recommend it for a casual and tasty dining experience.

Great atmosphere. Had drinks only but food looked great

Friendly service, tapas superb. Great to find something different from the usual pub grub.

Great staff, great food, great drinks

Nice menu and selection of real ales in a cosy pub.

Malheureusement pas moyen de manger, la cuisine était fermée à 12.45 ce qui est très tôt.

We attended for our monthly book club meet for tapas. We were served promptly but a friendly young lady. The three of us ordered a bottle of red and 9 dishes of tapas to share. All of which were served hot and tasted great. All reasonably priced. We will definitely return.

Nice pub with real Ales and very tasty food

Great friendly pub. Great selection of foods at a reasonable price. Tucked away gem of a pub

Nice pub but the food is a bit blend.

Lovely welcome, better to book your table. Had belly pork roast with a mix of delicious veg

What a gem of a pub! All the years been in Norwich and never knew it was there. Really lovely staff and the tapas food was amazing! Highly recommend. Dog friendly to!

Great place and a nice selection of Tapas

Lovely atmosphere in traditional old pub. Highly recommend tapas, all freshly cooked and good quality. Recommend booking. Ideal positioning for theatre

Didnt eat here, but a excellent selection of beers with friendly service and a interesting interior.

Really tasty take on small plates. Great service: made to feel welcome and attentive throughout. Range of dishes were good and all very moreish. Even catering for gluten-free with tempura dishes adapted to use GF flour. The chicken and pulled pork tacos were especially good...

Great little pub with so much history.. We didn't have any food have heard its pretty good.. Warm friendly staff.

In a cozy pub's dimly lit corner, I clutched my pint, lost in laughter and tales of old. Amidst a raucous guffaw, my grip faltered, and my brew met the floor's cold embrace. A generous bartender, quick to empathize, replaced my pint with a twinkling smile, turning mishap into mirth, and the night went on in cheerful camaraderie.

Friendly staff and the food was amazing!

We were able to be fit in for a Sunday roast despite not booking a table. It was a lovely roast and service was very speedy and attentive. Definitely recommend the roast beef!

Called in for lunch after walking round Norwich attractions. Decent beer selection and good tapas range. Staff friendly.

What a fantastic pub with a great tapas menu!! We booked a table for 2, lovely warm welcome by the staff, pub is super quaint, staff were lovely and very helpful when we were trying to decide how much to order, the tapas was wonderful!!! Good selection of ale that kept hubby happy. Not a bad word can be said, we will definitely be coming back to sample the sunday roast!!

Lovely little pub with a great atmosphere and amazing tapas selection! Great portion sizes for money too, thank you!

It's a nice place to hold an event or wedding, and staff members are friendly

Lovely, welcoming and helpful staff as well as reasonably priced, delicious food.

Cool pub with a a differentiated menu. Tapas options witch came out as good sized portions. 3 dishes easily enough to make a main. Tasted good. Good service too and very reasonably priced. Wouldn't hesitate to visit again.

Awful food , sticky table Avoid , The worst food in Norwich I’ve eaten in years Really best to go elsewhere
