The Coach & Horses in Hinckley and Bosworth

Visited today for Sunday Lunch and it was lovely, a spacious pub with different bar, restaurant and outdoor areas, catering for all (Nice décor throughout and the added bonus of a real fire!) . The staff were lovey and enthusiastic to please. Serves traditional pub food at very reasonable prices and we all had different meals and all of us were pleased with the quality of food and service. My only feedback (and this is feedback, not criticism!) is that they only had one 'light' dish on the menu which was a Chicken Ceaser Salad.. which is what 'all pubs do and is probably the most boring Salad of all time lol .. if they came up with a different kind of 'Light Lunch' option then I think it would be a 100% from me, other than that, still 99% (I just had a main which was gorgeous and didn't eat the chips which made it a light lunch). Still gets 5 Stars from me despite this.

So after reading the latest reviews and replies, Id like to give my side of the story! I was attacked in this pub in September! I was physically assaulted THREE TIMES, by another party who were also at the pub. This was unprovoked, as I was watching my children playing in the playground, I was hit across the face by a lady for 'shouting at her child' which I did not do. I was then assaulted again by another lady (a friend to the first lady) I did not return any physical or verbal abuse to either of them, there was no 'fight'. The staff did then come out and I was pulled aside by Amy the pub landlady, I told her I was going to contact the police because I was assaulted, to which she said to myself and the rest of my party, come inside calm down and have a free drink, this was not only heard by myself & my party but also others that were at the pub, as they even said 'condoning violence with a free drink' (we did not receive a free drink) we went inside, as we were going inside they all started shouted 'cheero' so Yes, I did turn to them and say 'we are going inside for a drink' This was the only thing I said to them that could have been 'antagonizing' - we did have all the child that were with us, inside the pub we spent a few minutes to calm down the situation as obviously my children were distressed. The police should have been called at this point by the staff or the landlady herself to remove the attackers - At this point a male (a rather large male) came into the pub and threatened both myself and my mother that he was going to kill our partners (neither of which were at the pub when this all happened) and was very aggressive towards us, Amy then told us to leave out the back door, as we did the male went around the back entrance and cornered us, we turned to go back inside and I was attacked for the third time, my hair was pulled by the first lady that had hit me, I was pushed inside and then I had a panic attack because my children hadn't followed me (to which I then was told the children were taken out the front by my friend and were safe) my children were never left unattended by either me or a member of our party.. I have called the police & they are still investigating the situation, I have the crime number for this investigation, & have been speaking regularly with the officer in charge, not the pub! I have later found out that the party who attacked me had been in the pub for a long time drinking and had trashed the disabled toilets before attacking me! (they should have been removed at this point and the attacks would not have happened) I have been coming to this pub since I was a child and I have never had anything like this happen before, I am very appalled by the way it was handled by the new owners, the police should have been called instantly, by the owners and not by myself. The members of public that attacked me should have been escorted from the premise after the first attack and then it wouldn't have happened again. I do apologies for anyone that had to witness the event, including my own family and children, but there was little I could do when getting hit in the face twice, hair pulled and threatened! I have since not returned to the pub that I love, and from how the owners are still lying about what happened, I wont be returning anytime soon either!

Travelling from SW London to North Yorkshire we looked for a dog friendly place half way and found the Coach and Horses. The staff are all very welcoming and friendly, including to our 8 month dog. We ate well (soup, steak and ale pie, chicken skewers and sticky toffee pudding… all lovely). Highly recommend thanks

I arranged a wake at the Coach and Horses. They responded promptly and professionally to my enquiry, the food was exactly right for the occasion and the staff friendly and helpful. I'd recommend for a family event.

I arranged a wake at the coach and horses - prompt and professional responses before the event and friendly helpful staff on the day. Highly recommended. (And much happy noise about the brownies!)

Went here with my partner and mother in law, had the roast dinner which was nice enough, partner had the gammon which he thoroughly enjoyed.. staff friendly, nice atmosphere.. one criticism was the gravy could have been thicker..

Came here for my Dad's 80th Birthday meal as the pub held many memories for him from some 60 years ago! The staff were very friendly and helpful and we were all made very welcome. There were eleven of us for lunch and the food and overall service was very good. Would not hesitate to visit again.

First time visit (from Southampton). Nice pub. Lovely welcoming staff. Party of 4 adult and 4 kids. Most had roasts which were great. Good selections of beers and drinks. Good service from the waitresses. Reasonably priced as well.

Totally agree with previous review. Children distressed & crying. After a very disappointing meal, all in all a very unpleasant experience & will not be returning.

Thoroughly enjoyed my visit here with my Dad. The place is really lovely inside and staff were so helpful and service was quick. Couldn't fault the food, cooked to perfection and great portion size. Would return just for the chocolate orange cheesecake - heaven!

Friendly staff and the best gluten-free fish & chips!

Lovely place, great friendly staff, nice food, nice garden outside

My husband grew up in Markfield, just down the road from this pub. It’s been many years since we’ve been back, and what a transformation! This pub is wonderfully family friendly, I’d have loved to have had our granddaughters with us! Fabulous garden and a play room. Excellent children’s menu. We only had panini so I can’t comment on the food but the chips were great. And the restaurant seemed busy enough for a Monday (we ate in the garden) There’s also a dog menu! PLUS the garden has a screened off adults only section if you don’t want to be bothered by other people’s kids. Really well thought through.

I had booked a table for two for our wedding anniversary but to our surprise the daughter and family wanted to come with us. We rang the you excepted the extra 5 with no issues, when we arrived we were seated promptly and given menus and drinks taken, when someone came to our table who informed us that because of two large parties they had no fish and chips, no steak and only two bacon chops which took a large amount of food off of the menu. We put our orders for the food in the starters arrived beautiful we then sat and waited for the mains including children’s meals. Two had pies from the local butcher so we were expecting them to be lovely (my husband said you get the same In Coop for more than 1/2 the price) my hunters chicken was okay bacon really tough, daughters bacon chop was so salty she couldn’t eat it ( this was taken off the bill) two out of three grandkids ate theirs. The meal I was so looking forward to didn’t happen, I wish we had left and went somewhere else

Staff was lovely and friendly, food was great best place we have been in a long time.will be coming again soon

Wow service was amazing staff friendly and accommodating and the food was amazing definitely be back thanks you everyone 😁👍3/7/2024

Great family run pub food is amazing plenty for kids outside and always something on

Lovely lunch in a nice dog friendly setting

Had a family Sunday dinner, recently under new management. Sunday roast was really nice and really pleased with the offering for little ones, there was a great choice of food for my 7 month old, from cooked food to Ella’s kitchen pouches. Really pleasantly surprised by this and not seen it offered elsewhere.

Vicky bar manager is amazing very welcoming pub

We visited here after my granddaughter was christened it’s in our village so thought we’d try it , it was really nice the bar staff were great they couldn’t do enough for us we were quite a large party and they handled it really well the food was delicious they have a garden menu which was very good the outside garden is perfect if you have children , nice and big swings etc for them to play on and enclosed so you can relax knowing the children can’t get out a great visit with great food and service and would recommend

Lovely atmosphere, friendly and efficient staff, would highly recommend to anyone.

Quiet Thursday evening. Unfortunately, the food wasn't up to our expectations and not what it used to be.

Went on Fathers day. Enjoyed a lovely sunday lunch. Great portion size and excellent value for money. Easy to get to. Just 5 minutes off the M1 and family run to boot. They had a little event on to keep the kids occupied and had the football on in the bar.

New owners, a good start,enjoyed it.

Always have a good meal here. Sunday lunch was everything expected. Good selection of beers and other drinks and very welcoming staff.

Lovely meal, nice helpful staff, nice selection on menu, looking forward to more nice family friendly meals in our local

Came across this place on a road trip. Fantastic. Wonderful staff, excellent food and service. Worth a visit if you're in the area. Thanks to you all.

As a large group we came for a birthday dinner on 30.04.24, we pre ordered our food to make it easier and everything was perfect! Steaks cooked just as we ordered, and the cheesecake! Well it is amazing! Food all home made and fresh. Staff are so friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend

A random stop for food , and although we arrived early they were very accommodating. Service was quite slow and the food , although plentiful was a little on the bland side (beef was tough, tomato soup was tasteless , Mediterranean veg dish pastry was tough. Everything seemed to lack flavour. Waitresses were first class and all very friendly and helpful. You could do worse than stop here , but you could also do better.

Just a few beers.. bar staff are nice and friendly... Will go here again...

2 minutes from Junction 22 Mi. Stopped for a quick bite instead of service station. Great welcome, lovely paninni.

A very warm welcome with amazing friendly service throughout. The food was very good for the price, though some selections were not available - disappointing for a Friday evening. Overall, a very pleasant evening.

If you want home made & freshly cooked then this is the place, food comes out piping hot and tastes amazing! They have a lovely big garden with a small play area. Inside there is a welcoming bar with friendly staff, a snug with a pool table or a nice clean restaurant. Well worth a visit We came for mothers day lunch expecting chaos but it was great! A little busy as expected but food was at its usual high standard

Great friendly place for the whole family and good prices

Family birthday celebrations food was good with good service and I would highly recommend. Good pint of Guinness 👍

Excellent food and service. Highly recommend the Sunday dinner it was delicious. Its was very busy as Mothers Day so we had expected to wait a little longer than usual but staff worked very hard and kept us updated at all times. Definitely worth a visit.

Fully loaded chips was excellent. Staff very cool and the beer actually had taste. Super pub

First time visiting with family. Great staff, very friendly and helpful. Food good. Will come back again!!!

We went to have a meal at the pub, and were told last orders for food were at 7.45 with the kitchen closing at 8.00. After waiting at the bar for 5 mins with no staff to be seen from 7.40, we were then told the kitchen had already closed and we were too late. Very disappointed that the staff don't seem to know when food is served.

Lovely ,nature people and quality coffee

Good food there and delicious food and brilliant service and brilliant food .

Absolutely shocking !! We booked at table for 6 adults and 2 children for my wifes birthday and sat at table at 2.30pm and ordered starters after about 10 mins. We asked for the kids meals to come out with the starters, thats didnt happen, it took 45 mins for the starters to come out! Then took a further 50 mins for 5 adult meals to come and still no kids meals! By this time the kids are getting restless and hungry. 1 adult meal wasn't even on the order so that took another 20 mins, finaly the kids meal came out... 2 burgers sharing half a burger each!!! We complained and they were taken away and sorted. My meal was a 10oz rump stake that was raw!!! Sent back and didn't want it replaced as felt sick! Spoke to the manager and he had a attitude! The people who got food said it was nice but the whole time was ruined by the kitchen and managers attitude, oh also was charged £20 for a bottle of proceco from aldi (£6.50) when asking the manager about it his response was "whats it matter where I buy it from, do you no how much my electricity bill is" absolute joke of a pub/restaurant and won't ever return

Disappointed that dinner came out without any gravy! we waited at least 10 mins for gravy after asking 2 more times by which time dinner was almost cold! We were told the hot gravy would warm it up!!! The beef was beautiful though. Such a shame we won't be back.

me and my friend went here for Sunday dinner. Great service and food was delicious.

Coach & Horses is a nice clean warm restaurant, staff friendly. Myself and my husband decided to treat ourselves to a nice lunch/dinner. We ordered a rump steak, with sauce, & a pan fried chicken with Stilton & bacon sauce. Both meals were well presented & lovely and hot. The meals were delicious, steak cooked to perfection, I asked for it med-rare. The only problem we had with this visit is that I paid the bill without checking it properly, there should have been 20% taken off the steak meal ( it’s a Tuesday offer) & it was not taken off. I will check my bill more carefully in future. Overall a good experience.

Staff are amazing...food good. Friendly locals.

Visited here the Friday before Christmas with a big group of family and friends for a Christmas drink. Everything was fine until 7pm when we asked to leave because we had children in our group. As I looked around the pub every other group that had children with them were leaving. Apparently it’s the landlords policy to not allow children in after 7pm. In all he must have evicted 40 plus people. The place is advertised as a family friendly pub with a play area inside and out and sweet machines for kids. It is anything but! In fact the landlord genuinely despises children! We had family and friends travelled from Nottingham to meet for Christmas drinks, the children in our group were sat well behaved playing on their iPads in a back room being no trouble to anyone, as were all the other children in there. Despite this the landlord was rude and obnoxious when I questioned him about is having to leave.

Staff were friendly and helpful. It was quiet when we first arrived but it soon livened up. Our dogs were allowed in. The food was decent.

Great family oriented pub. Kids enjoyed their food and we will be back for date night 😊

Unfortunately this pub was closed when we tried to door at approx12pm

Lovely pub very friendly the only reason 5 star's were not given for all was it was so busy we had to wait for are food a little longer than normal Lol

What an amazing place very warming excellent staff and awesome food

Booked for Saturday early evening. Place was buzzing when we arrived. Looked like restaurant has had bit of revamp, looked very smart. Bit cool temperature though. Food was good pub standard, adequate choice of beers and selection of non/low alcohol drinks.

We are Sunday lunch here family of 4 the food was lovely the service was excellent the staff were so friendly. The decor is very nice and an open fire makes it cosy when it’s cold outside. We will definitely visit again soon.

Food and service was excellent. Friendly staff. Only one down side there was 2 different songs playing. One in the bar one in the restaurant. We sat in a place where you could hear both. Only a small point. Would recommend

No food ordered, Great Large Pub,very Pleasing Visit. Nice to see that they Support Live Band's/ music....Use it or Lose it. No

Was a hot curry and great pie. If i am in the area again will go back

Insanely good staff , quick , polite and attentive and really lovely Food was banging! Good price and quality! Cooked perfectly All Round 10/10

Home cooking at its best ,when on business nearby I always pop in .The food is home cooked and very filling

Fantastic food, service, and value for money... Will definitely be going again xx

Staff really friendly and accommodating, food was excellent. We were celebrating a birthday and were a party of 10 and a baby .

Nice pub, friendly staff, I didn't eat there but the menu looked nice and the food that was going out to other tables looked nice.

This place is perfect for an evening meal with the family, portion sizes are very generous and it's a really nice place to be plus the atmosphere is just right. Service is also 10/10

Staff are very friendly food was outstanding we are definitely going again highly recommended

Called in here a couple of times lately without booking and quite late for food ordering. But we were greeted with friendly staff who were very polite and helpful. Being vegan I love the choice here, plenty of choice and not all of it spicy (I don't like spicy food). The resturant manager was well informed on the vegan options and the food was lovely including plenty of hot gravy for my sausage and mash, which had to be made as they hadn't got any vegan mash ready. A good choice of meals which didn't all come with the usual chips as most places do these days. Would highly recommend this place.

Food was nice, sweet wasn't warm has advertised, Was under staffed so took a very long time to be serviced.

Lovely food, friendly staff. Would definitely recommend

A mandatory baby break forced a break in our LDN to SCO journey. We couldn’t have hoped for a warmer welcome (inc 7 month old baby) and a great coffee which came with a complimentary home baked biscuits. So much better than a soulless motorway services Highly recommend the fab C&H.

The lamb shank special was delicious as were all the meals and puddings we had. Attentive staff but not 'in your face' 1st visit but definitely not the last Thank you team Coach and Horses

Great service, good food, great beer!

Good food Great selection & offers on drinks All in all, a pleasent evening 👍

We have been going to the Coach and Horses at Markfield Thursday early evening for the last 3 weeks. The foods been great all 3 times, but last nights ribeye steak was superb one of the best ive ever had. The service is friendly and very professional with a great sense of welcoming. We rang on the off chance Thursday evening for a table due to running late and was able to reserve a table. Great range of beers, wines and other assorted drinks. we will be back, Thank you for the great food and service.

I popped in for a quick lunch during my working hours and food was amazing as well as staff and atmosphere Food was of great quality and very value for money I will be suggesting this for our next family meal

Always a great night down the Coach!

First time there for food it was lovely, staff friendly, lovely place we enjoyed it, we will be going again

Absolutely disgusting food and horrible service would not recommend

Wouldn’t even give it 1 star for anything! From start to finish it was vile and the worst place to ever have food! We went for my partners birthday and there was 5 of us we had our roast dinner and we have all had an upset stomach. No customer service at all! We all have had a headache and our stomachs turning! The waitress was so rude to my father in law and kept rolling her eyes and huffing and puffing! There was no customer service and I would not recommend this place at all! The most deceiving place! Looks beautiful from the outside but the food and service was the worst I’ve ever experienced and so disappointed! Ruined my partners birthday as he came home and got in bed as he has had belly ache! The food tasted like it was sat for hours and reheated in the microwave! The chicken was dry, the beef was chewy! You’re better off eating your own sick! Stomach turns thinking about the place first and last time we would ever go there! DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!

This place has really gone downhill fast since Covid. Very average quality food, poorly trained staff, and a ridiculously overpriced wine list for bargain basement supermarket wines.

Basic pub food at restaurant prices. If you want to call yourself a restaurant then you should at least have a wine list. I like to know how much i am paying for a bottle of wine before I order. Also if you are going to have special deals on certain nights then perhaps you should make sure that your system deals with this. I was charged full price for something that was on offer. Very disappointing night out and I won't be back.

Good environment. Purely. Friendly staff. The food is good. Ordered a grilled steak. Was excellently prepared. Wife ordered chicken breast. Also well prepared. And juicy.

Delicious food, accomodating staff and lovely atmosphere and very reasonably priced considering the quality of the food.

On this occasion Vicky and her very friendly and competent staff looked after us. Good experience and left truly satisfied. No room for dessert although very tempted.

Well well well… it’s clear the Highwayman lay rest to this coach a long time ago! Firstly the seats are so uncomfortable to sit on May as well have been riding the bloomin thing! I’ve not had a worse thing to sit on since Michael when I was 17 The food well! Cold, hardly any of it and I’d have rather had the grass from outside on a plate! Neigh the place just lacks quality and needs a serious whipping Anyway away I fly on my noble stead! Huzzzahhh

It's not the cheapest pub, but it's very clean food is good and a good selection of beers. Gets quite full up with the locals. Popular stop off for anyone passing. Just a bit awkward with how the A50 sits.

Great place for food and play area for our grandson

Waited over 70mins for food then when desert came we were served children's portions food was OK but definitely not worth the money compared to other restaurants in the same budget.

The 5 stars is for the waiter who was lovely but the 1 star is for the food and the chef who couldn't obviously cook or know what vegan means. Vegan pizza had dairy cheese on it and was sent back and then the vegan tart was burnt and the chips were rubbery and the salad was tasteless but by this time we were hungry and needed to eat. The waiter got us free pudding for the errors and chef decided treacle pudding should be served cold!! We ate it as we were embarrassed for the waiter who was fairly new but we won't be back.

Lovely pub. Fantastic play area, best pub play area I've ever found. Good food too and very welcoming friendly staff.

Great place to go with the kids and now has a pool table too

Popped in and met up with friends,good selection of drinks. Food being served, smelt lovely. Happy chatter, sun poured in from rear garden. Overall a pleasant atmosphere. Everything clean and tidy. Karaoke just being set up for the evening. Although we moved on,our friends stayed for food and drinks, both said they enjoyed their evening. They also joined in with the karaoke.

me and my mates decided to go for a visit at about 5-6 o'clock mid week. we were met with hostility straight away but shrugged it off. we went and sat at a table in the bar and ordered food and some drinks for ourselves which were cokes and not alcoholic drinks. when the food arrived we were told that we weren't welcome in the pub and had to go outside and eat in the freezing cold because we were underage. we were the only ones inside the pub at the time (speaks for itself really) and we weren't causing any problems we were just waiting for our food. we proceeded to go outside and eat our food, if we hadn't paid for it we would of left there and then. Then we got told that we needed to show ID to stay at the pub even though we hadn't bought any alcohol. as far as i was concerned we were paying customers and had come in for food and drinks, and purely because of our age we were treated disgustingly and unfairly. All this happened AFTER they accepted our money as well. after some words exchanged, we left to be later told by a friend that we have been barred. I've been going to this pub for years now ever since i was little and i don't remember it being this bad so i recommend avoid this pub. we ended up going to the Field Head and was met with fab service. There's many pubs in Markfield, we will avoid this one and spend a few more minutes walking to another one.

A busy pub with friendly staff. It was only a quick visit to break up a long journey, so I can't really say much more.

We came here for Sunday Lunch. There was a very good choice The staff were excellent and very helpful

Great food, and fantastic outdoor space.

Top class food, top class service, I would highly recommend. The only reason it's not 5 stars is that there is no such thing as perfection

It's OK. We went in the dome. The children enjoyed it but not particularly private. The food was OK. Not outstanding. The staff were lovely and very attentive.

Had a lovely meal and the staff were very friendly. Would definitely go back if I was in the area

Fantastic Sunday roast today, the meats were all amazing but 2 small parsnips between 5 of us?

Wonderful staff helpful friendly helped us have a table on a busy night after we couldn’t find somewhere else to eat Food fresh and great portions Reasonable prices a plenty of parking We ate on a Saturday in March.
