The Coach & Horses in Basildon

Only pop in for a pint of Fosters waiting for a Bus met a couple of fellow young Electricians working there at the back garden area shared a bit of knowledge with them that might be handy with a Big Job in Corringham next Year!Bar were attentive and welcoming used to go in this Pub 45years ago when I owned Viscount Radio a successful Ctv radio repairs workshop with my sister being the receptionist and,many other staff located at 20 Chapel Street in an old Dutch barn now in Wat Tyler's Park.I used to park my 18ft racing Phantom 200hp Johnson powerboat aptly named Supertramp with Pontiac 400 Catalina Safari Station Wagon tow vehicle there in the Warehouse. I upgraded to a World Class 3 winning 21ft Phantom aptly namely Phantasize before giving up and travelling to Oz,Thailand and the World to live my life!

Proper old school pub with proper traditional food. Everything was cooked fresh and very tasty. Big compliments to the chef and waitress who constantly checked up on us. Better than 5* hotel service.

We popped in here Saturday night on the off chance, first time we have been here! Such lovely atmosphere, definitely feels home from home. The lady behind the bar greeted us as we walked in which was lovely! Felt very comfortable and will definitely be returning.

Absolutely delicious food and the service was outstanding. The waitress Michaela went above and beyond and made our evening great. Such friendly staff and a lovely atmosphere . Will definitely be returning.

Absolutely delicious Sunday roast. All yummy fresh food products. Great service and friendly staff. Nice cosy and relaxing atmosphere. I love this pub!

Old fashioned friendly pub. Great selection of beer and very good food in separate area to main bar.

Good service and really nice staff.

Great classic English pub... If you want authenticity in the staff and local clientele - coupled with great (ale and lagers!) beer, great food (best Sunday lunch in town) and a friendly welcome...look no further. same view 2 years on... if it ain't broke... don't fix it. locals don't come much better than this

Absolutely amazing chef. I would definitely come here again. Chef went above and beyond to cook an amazing vegetarian lunch. The pictures speak for themselves.

Would highly recommend visiting on a Sunday for the roast, was to die for

"Proper" pub, good beer selection and great atmosphere. Will be back for food

Only went in there for a few drinks but got speaking to the chef who asked of I'd try his vindaloo curry! I have to say it is one of the best tasting currys I have ever tried. Fantastic staff and fantastic chef! Will definitely go there again soon!

A really friendly pub - food is superb. Sticky toffee pudding and curry highly recommended.

My wife and I went here for dinner last night and we were blown away by both the service and the quality fo food and drink. I had the curry special, which tonight was tikka masala and my wife had sea bass. I am not a big curry eater but I like a good one and the waitress recommended it so I thought, for once, I'd take a punt. I was not disappointed., Unbelievably good. Perfect flavour and heat. Lovely non-greasy, crunchy onion bhaji and pilau rice. Honestly, I don't know how you could make a better one. The wife's sea bass was also lovely though she tasted my curry and was jealous. Drinks were great too, I had a lovely german pilsner lager. We had a bottle of pinot grigio with dinner which was also good and decent value. Lovely atmosphere in this place. You won't find better. I was so impressed I asked to speak to the chef to tell him what awonderful meak he had cooked. We'll be back !

Went for Sunday lunch for my brothers birthday. It's my brothers local but my first time there. What a lovely surprise, food excellent, service was first class and delivered with a smile and the atmosphere was cosy and friendly and even nicer was there were no children to spoil it.

Once again, fabulous food, all home made and such friendly staff. I’ve been here a few times now and it’s my favourite place to eat in Billericay. Thanks to all the staff who make it great!

Great venue for a funeral reception- warm welcome, wonderful food and friendly attentive staff. The food is even better than the photos - delicious, plentiful and great value for money.

Went today for Sunday lunch, food was superb, service ( Sharon ) exceptional. Will definitely go back. Drinks brought to table from bar. A lovely experience for my wife son and fiancé Thankyou

Great place with good choice of 🍻

Super friendly staff and great range of drinks. Lovely atmosphere.

Went last minute for my birthday lunch. I had the Steak pudding. Thoroughly enjoyed the fresh cooked food and great service. Chef also made a point to meet and advise us on our pudding. Will be back.

It is a truly old fashion local, you either hate it or love it, in my case the latter applies

Delicious sunday lunch here with the family. Food and service really was top notch. Highly recommend the lamb shank 👌

Great old fashion pub Good staff and landlord

Lovely genuine old school pub, Some excellent drinks available when we were there, really good friendly vibe. We have consistently had top class food every time we have dined at the C&H, and if you're looking for a bar snack decently give the sausage rolls a go. Plenty of seating including an outside beer garden, Loo's are spotless and modern. Already looking forward to our next visit to this pub.

Great friendly pub excellent choice of real ales A very pleasant atmosphere

Great Wednesday night curry, very reasonable price. And a lovely warm welcome as soon as I opened the door. Will be back.

Best pub food I've had in Billericay!

Great place for a drink and good food!

A lovely pub with a warm welcome and nice atmosphere. A good selection of beer and wine with real Ale and a lovely warming fire in the lounge area. The lunch was fantastic. Good traditional Sunday roast served by helpful and cheerful staff. Will definitely be back and strongly recommend.

Very nice indeed, food excellent.

Brilliant pub. Great ales that rotate.

Friendly staff and a nice small pub with a good selection of beers etc.

Christmas meal for 7 from the set menu (limited choice, pre-order). Food was very good, nicely cooked and generous portions. Staff are always friendly and efficient.

Absolutely lovely food and service. Nice cosy atmosphere. Nice selection, will definitely come back to try the rest.

Good old style pub, with a selection of beers, and great pub grub. Great service.

Had excellent lunch, partner had fish & chips, as much as he could eat, chips were superb, I had special, chicken & mushroom & stilton pie, fresh veg were crisp pie, had so loads of chicken, gravy was lovely,.

Just tried to book for Sunday lunch for 5 adults and a 9 month old baby. Was told that they generally have a policy of no children. Really disappointed, bearing in mind that most people book Sunday lunch as a family. Perhaps they should state on their website that this is an adults only pub. Have had a very nice reply from the Coach and Horses, explaining their reasons why they are not able to take children. We will definitely book as a child free couple on that basis. Thank you Coach and Horses

Been here a few times. Never a bad meal. Went forbthe liver and bacon was sooo tasty and the homemade apple crumble was to die for! The waitress is always happy and friendly and puts herself out for everyone. We will be back again!

Great Sunday roast, great service unfortunately let down by apple crumble, would recommend

The Coach and Horses provided a wonderful buffet for our Aunts Wake. The service was brilliant and the food was delicious. Thank you so much, we would highly recommend.

Wonderful atmospheric pub, serving proper food and drink. Highly recommended.

Very friendly place...felt really welcome there

This pub was recommended, but it was closed. The sign outside says it closes at 8pm on a Tuesday.

Friendly service, good food, good beer. What else could you want

Roast was very good friendly atmosphere and staff are amazing

We didn’t want anything fancy, and we didn’t want another gastro pub Sunday lunch prepped in advance and heated up. So The Coach & Horses hit the spot 100%. Ignoring starters we went straight in for a roast beef and a lamb shank lunch. Absolutely delicious meat with perfect roasties, lovely Yorkshire, well-cooked veg not insipid or over-boiled & thick flavoursome gravy. Limited menu on Sunday…but hey that’s what Sunday lunch is all about!! A proper local pub, not posh but with a great welcome (even though we headed home to watch Spurs!!) Recommended

Had a lovely Sunday Roast here this afternoon. Can’t recommend this local place enough. Delicious food, five star service. A lovely traditional pub. We will be back. Thank you x

No frills pub with a good range of real Ales and a couple of Craft beers as well. Proper grub, and a friendly smile for everyone.

Lovely home cooked meals at such a great price, warm and welcoming from all staff.

Lovely cosy pub , great food and service

Excellent pub, with great beer. A firm favourite :)

Very friendly place to have a drink in

With many pubs gradually becoming restaurants it is nice to find one that although it serves food has its regulars, has some good real ales, a roaring coal fire and a lovely atmosphere plus of course a good mein host

Great pub . Good selection of beers ales and wine . Tasty pub grub and really friendly staff who make everyone welcome. Continued success to Dave and his team

Went for the 3 course Christmas lunch and what a fantastic meal! So much to eat and piping hot. Could not fault any of it and the welcome and service was brilliant. This is a cosy friendly pub made even better by the West Ham memorabilia! This was far better than normal pub fayre and great value. Will definitely go again.

Great traditional Pub … good beer, great food, professionally operated . Top draw.

Love their Sunday Lunch staff are lovely

Always nice food in this pub. Nice and friendly people serving too.

Amazing roast dinner, great beers

Food was very good and not over priced. Proper pub atmosphere. Friendly efficient staff. Good beer with choice. Would recommend.

Had Sunday lunch here today with 2 of my friends, food was fantastic and the service was amazing. Our waitress was very warm and welcoming she had a big smile, nothing was too much effort. I'm gluten and dairy free and could not fault the food and service. I will be returning to this pub for definite. We'll recommend.

Great pub, great selection of beer. Phenomenal food.

Great beer and the best pub grub in billericay!! The staff are also very welcoming and a special mention for the lady bringing out our food ...very easy to speak too and always smiling .. I highly recommend the meat puddings ,home made and delicious 👌

Food and drink service was excellent staff are very helpful nice place

Best pint of beer I've had in a while.

The first time for us having Sunday lunch at the Coach and Horses, thoroughly recommend it. Home cooking for a great price. Service was fab as well.

On a recent visit to The Coach and Horses, it just looked like a nice, unassuming traditional pub, but there’s SO MUCH more to this fantastic place. A bar that is so well stocked it seemed to have every type of drink known to mankind and the staffs knowledge of EVERYTHING behind their bar and their food was amazing. Excellent, friendly service with a smile. Our dogs were made very welcome inside. Now to the food......and boy was it spectacular!!!... My husband had smoked haddock in a lip smacking creamy, mustardy sauce, sat on top of a big dollop of Mash and peas on the side. My husband said it was one of the most delicious and perfectly cooked fish dishes he’s enjoyed in years. I opted for the liver and bacon, which came with the same sized big dollop of creamy Mash, lashings of the most incredible real meat juices gravy and a beautiful selection of greens, beans and whole baby carrots. I literally could have lifted the plate and licked it at the end, had I not been eating out in public !!! WOW, what fantastic value for money, incredible produce and quality of food. The Coach and Horses really have knocked it out of the park with the BEST pub grub ever!!!

Good beer, great food, lovely atmosphere,

Great place for a pint good staff

Excellent food and service Wood go there again

Good to be back with friends sitting inside. Enjoyed the beer, food and company. The management had put in place adequate measures to reduce the risk of covid but still having a friendly welcome.

Very good range of cask beers served by friendly staff, pleasant atmosphere

One of the last proper pub's. Excellent food too. I've never had a bad meal in there.

Good food, good selection of beers, friendly staff - what more could you want 🙂👍

Just popped in un announced and Dave found us a seat for two food was 10 out of 10 staff were so lovely would deff go back lots of beers to

Tuesday afternoon for a couple of pints. Very safe and a nice welcome. Well done.

Great that David and his staff make you feel welcome despite covid. Nice banter and most important a great pint. Wish i wasnt always the driver!

Great home cooked food, service was excellent, waitress was friendly and helpful, definitely would go back

A lovely atmosphere even in these difficult times. Covid situation dealt with excellently

Homemade chicken and leek pie was gorgeous!

Excellent food and a really good selection of quality ales all served in a friendly atmosphere.

I've been here a few times now on a Wednesday evening for their curry night. Each time the menu has been different so we get to sample something new. It's always been delicious with decent portion sizes and amazing flavours. Service is incredible, the staff have got everything right. The beer is really good too. Thanks C&H i cant wait to return Jim

Excellent Sunday roast in a proper family pub - eight of us enjoyed a fantastic Sunday roast, the food was plentiful, well cooked and served in a pleasant, friendly and efficient manner. Despite eating fairly late in the day, only the turkey had sold out but we had no complaints over that. Everything else was available and freshly cooked. Prices are more than reasonable and while this might not be the most modern of venues, it doesn’t matter because that’s the appeal. This pub should be supported wholeheartedly, just make sure you leave room for our table for the Sunday roast.

The food in the Coach & Horses is second to none. They serve good old pub grub which tastes absolutely amazing and you always go home stuffed and not needing to eat for a week. Leigh is such a fantastic cook and Dave the Landlord is always friendly. You simply MUST go here!

Last of the old man pubs about, go there before it turns into a wine bar

Lovely place for a nice drink. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere

Went for Sunday lunch, not disappointed at all, perfect service from the start. Starters of pate, whitebait, soup and mushrooms with Brie, clear plates all round. Two turkey and two beef roasts, with roast potatoes, veg and Yorkshire puds, all lovely and steaming hot. Ordered cauliflower cheese, best I’ve ever had. Would highly recommend giving the coach and horses a try. It’s not on the high street and it’s a proper pub, would suggest you book as very popular and it deserves to be.

Good quality, unpretentious food with food friendly service, sample dishes from the menu include starters, prawn cocktail, pate, squid, pancake rolls, etc. Mains steak and ale pie, chicken pie, steak and kidney pudding, liver and back, fish and chips etc. Deserts: cheesecake, lemon tart, apple crumble, cheese and biscuits etc

Popped in here for a quick weekday snack lunch. I had the fish and chips served with peas and homemade tartar sauce. It was piping hot and good value for £10.95. My wife opted for soup of the day (£4.95). Although bread was not mentioned it was served with nice fresh granary bread, however it was also thinckly buttered and sadly my wife doesn't like butter. The pub was fairly empty - mainly with a handful of locals chatting and drinking at the bar. Very good and friendly service. It was almost like a trip down memory lane - as I used to regularly drink and play darts here in the late 1970s / early 1980s (when I mistakenly remember it being a lot larger), All in all a good experience, and we may be tempted to return for a speciality evening or Sunday lunch.

Great boozer with well kept beer and good value pub grub menu. Landlord is a diamond, well worth a visit

Great food and real ale, well worth a visit.

Fantastic selection of real ales!

Lunch menu: Good steak N kidney pudding, mash N mix veg £11.50. X 2 pink g & fever t £5.40, half of rhubarb cider (very sweet) but I enjoyed it £2.05. order food at bar.

Lunch menu: Been a while since we had a meal here, but steak n kidney pudding was very good, served with mash(good) and mix veg, with a g n t and half of Rhubarb cider(v sweet) bill came to £30.45

Lovely Sunday lunch. Lovely people. Back next week.

Were taken here by friends for Sunday lunch. I thought it was expensive for what you got, cauliflower cheese was 1.95 a portion which was barely enough for 2 people let alone 4. Apple pie would have been nice if it had been heated in an oven not a microwave, it made it soft and soggy. I wouldn't go back.

Small friendly pub with an excellent selection of ales and lagers, serving excellent food. I enjoyed a Sunday roast and it was delicious. I will definitely return.
