The Coach & Horses, Soho in City of London, Westminster - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

I was served by becky at the coach and horses and she was amazing! she provided me with tasters and gave me excellent recommendations. I will definitely be coming back.

Ellie was really friendly and welcoming. Also poured a great Guinness

Exceptional Sunday Roast, the best in living memory. Wishing the new owners all the best, you have a fantastic team which no doubt you're aware of them. The quality of the beef was next level. EV Charging such a winner to boot.

Great place , friendly staff, oh and the shareables are excellent!

Great selection of beers on tap - both ‘standard’ and craft.

Had the most lovely evening here, the eyelinered member of staff think her name was Nicole recommended some alcoholic free options for me as I do not drink. Great selection of snacks and drinks and really friendly staff. Would recommend a visit if you’re in the area.

Becky was great really enjoyed her service! Nicole was also good! Will defo come back again to see that girls!

Thank you sam and rickey to make my day

Small pub. Expected London prices for a pint. Small but plenty of places to stand outside.

The place was recommended by a friend, we were only there for drinks, but it was really good! Very nice and friendly staff!

Very nice, traditional pub in SOHO next to the theaters. It is a historic shop with a nice atmosphere and a fantastic speaker. The best choice for a rest stop.

Amazing staff! No TV during the fotball match which I find as a BIG positive!

the place has literally died since the chain took it over to turn one of the most iconic pubs in Soho into a soulless place

This old boozer stands out for still being ‘authentic’: the interiors, the Soho characters who still drink here (Peter Cook, columnist Jeffrey Bernard) and yes, have an ear out here for Carradine's Cockney Sing-A-Long by the cheeky-charmin geezer that's Tom Carradine (who is also the pianist with Champagne Charlie & the Bubbly Boys)! Lovely jubbly matey, cheers! 🍻

I recently had a stay in SOHO around the corner from this pub. By far my favorite in the area. There is something about it that has a combo of hole in the wall and pub. Wait staff was awesome. I enjoyed sitting there reading and having a pint or 3 on multiple occasions. Support this place, it's still an independent pub and it's got a great vibe.

Was the writers Jeffrey Bernard’s second home

Once a great Soho drinking institution. Now, closed at 8pm on a Bank Holiday Sunday with Soho packed. Why?

It seems like the bar has lost its charm after changing ownership about five years ago. What used to be a lively spot with singing, piano, and lively conversations has turned quite dull, with no real atmosphere. Even the prices have shot up, and the beer doesn't even taste good.

Rubbish! expansive and poor food.

The beer selection is nice. Seven pound that's super expensive for horrible, rude, unbearable service. They don't have enough chairs outside so I was drinking with other 30 people outside standing although I am handicapped. I saw one of the bartender employees throwing the garbage outside so I asked her nicely if she can please take the empty glass from me. The answer was "No you do it". It's unfortunately how you hire people that ruins your business, it was a red hair girl with glasses, btw I left the glass for her on of the tables, just like everybody else if doing so one of the other employees will pick it up for you hon. I will never come back to that place and I'm making sure none of my guests will visit there I rather pay a taxi to get better suitable service in different area.

One of our fav pubs. Love coming here!

Great selection of beers. Seeped in history (and beer).

Grumpy staff, sticky tables, obvious pickpockets

Had a fabulous lunch today and was served by Ricky who was delightful! So chatty and friendly. Thank you

A proper London pub, good beer and no pretence.

Really enjoyed my visit. A Soho staple full of interesting beers and visitors from everywhere.

One of the best in Soho! Ali and here team are ace, a must go for any visit when in the West End xo

Great to see the new team, superb beer and service. Wonderful, just wonderful

Popped in here for a drink the atmosphere was cosy traditional pub vibes and the seat I was sat on was comfy and they have IPA options which is good!

Neil is the greatest barman to ever barman

Great selection of beers, lovely traditional pub

Finally had the opportunity to come here and it didn't disappoint. They have quite some different kind of beers which I appreciate. Also, very traditional pub as I expected.

Super boozer, friendly staff, great range of beers. Do visit ....

Great beer, very busy but really nice to sit out side and suck in the ambiance of Soho

Great selection of beers. Traditional London boozer. Friendly staff. A mix of locals and tourists. Overall would recommend for a few drinks. Relatively small so get ready to stand for a bit. Extremely small toilets.

Great pub with the best crisp selection in London! Will definitely return. They also allow dogs - which is a great bonus!

Below is my review from 5 years ago. Since then the owner (Fullers) has changed it into a managed pub. The piano has gone, but they haven't materially altered the pub (apart from upgrading the toilets, which was a good idea). It's sad that the old pub has gone, but the new pub still has character and they still have outdoor seating, which is rare in Soho. The upstairs vegan restaurant has also gone, but I think they serve food in the pub. A proper independent London pub; one of the best in Soho (the Star and Garter on Poland Street and the Pillars of Hercules being the others that come to mind). They have proper staff who can serve two people and hold a conversation with a third at the same time. There's a good range of beers. Although I haven't been to one myself, regulars there highly recommend their regular traditional sing-songs around the piano.

Bad beer at over £9.00 a pint, bad layout.

(food meaning pints) This pub has one of the greatest atmospheres of any pub I've ever been to: and there have been a few. Classic interior and fabulous staff right in the heart of Town. Ali and her team are a dream.

Proper old fashioned 'boozer' where little has changed in 30 years, bar the prices 😂 Well kept ales and no poncy juke box!

Great little pub, good service and decent cask and keg lineup. Most people sit outside, it's a lovely building.

Great bar. Neil is the man! Long live Neil!

Old favourite which maintains its old Soho decor and atmosphere. Worth a visit.

Still largely unchanged since the days Jeffrey Bernard propped up the bar

This is a rather famous pub in Soho due to legendary barman Norman (long gone)and the famous people who frequented the pub. Good service and as I would expect from a Fullers pub a wide selection of cask ales. It is a pub that attracts characters, in a good way, and I have had many interesting conversations. The pub could do with a refurbishment but despite that I certainly recommend a visit.

A soho institution..great vibe in trad pub. Most recent visit was for play Jeffrey Barnard is unwell play. Great pub great play

Great traditional boozer in the heart of Soho. So nice to see a proper pub these days. Great beer.

A good experience in a very busy pub. Will visit again with friends.

Authentisch, Gute Bier Auswahl

Great pub, gets busy so can be standing room only.

Pub looks tired but lives on unchanged in tribute to past patrons with old photos etc on the wall and old pub feature lights, of long since stopped beers, above the bar. No idea what the trough is at the bottom of the bar - as you can see in the photo. Any ideas?

Enjoyed an amazing experience here seeing the famous and iconic London play: "Jeffrey Bernard Is Unwell" in the very pub where he (Jeffrey) used to drink, gamble and regale the punters with his tragi-comic life stories. Super friendly bar-staff, nostalgic venue and great drinks - what's not to love?! Highly recommend 10/10

Stopped for a couple of drinks, authentic pub, good staff and good atmosphere in the heart of the city

Been here a few times over the years, just nice to have a cold beer, very pleasant, great atmosphere.

Having not been here for quite a while, it was a real pleasure to have a beautifully kept pint of Burning Sky, Plateau. Not the cheapest, but my friend played the piano, and got a sitting ovation! Now owned by Fuller's, but they have not changed it so far.

Another packed pub on a Saturday - very narrow bar but extra seating outside. Great pint of Guinness and always buzzing bar.

REALLY nice bar staff considering how central this place is. Seriously, they were joking around with us making us feel welcome the second we walked in. The pub feels like it hasn't changed in decades (in the best way) and overall is a very solid place. Would highly recommend but also selfishly don't want it to get busier, haha!

Fullers London Porter, beer of the year. Why would you drink other black beers ?

Amazing pub but the piano has gone!! The singalongs were the best bit! Bring it back C&Hs!

Bery busy pub, good selection of drinks. Did not eat here.

Did not eat here but drank a beautiful Porter ale very busy on Friday evening, absolutely buzzing.

Had the most ridiculous Saturday at coach and horses.Rube services and also Ordered two large muller wines, but they claimed only one left. Okay, cool, we'll take two small ones. Little did I know, 'small' meant a half of small plastic cup and they charged £5 each! Manager insisted it's standard. Not cool.manager was also so rude to us . I know it's only a put, but please be nice to people #PubExperience #Overcharged

An establishment that harks back to the age when public houses were about people socialising around drinks in a warm functional interior. Good selection of beers and a good atmosphere on a wintry Sunday afternoon with dogs and children included.

They've got rid of the piano! Ale was decent though.

Friendly pub with great friendly staff! A stalwart of Soho. Love it!

Went for a site specific show of Jeffrey Bernard is Unwell so perhaps not a standard experience but service prompt and staff friendly. Would like to go back and explore the space properly at some point.

Nice old fashioned pub, with a mixed crowd. Nice bar staff also

Efficient bar staff, decent central London prices £5.50-£6.00 per pint. EDIT: Visited again but this time my mates bag containing his laptop got stolen (Fri 24/11/23). A member of the bar staff said they were going to review the CCTV footage when they had some free time and call my mate back but never did. Hence the drop to 3*, still a decent pub though but remember to stay vigilant at all times!

Classic Soho pub, favourite haunt of various Private Eye writers of the past.

Nice, got hammered and had a lovely time 👍

Bit of an old fashioned pub. They do have wheat beer on tap though which is awesome!

Cold. No heating. Even men had their overcoats on.

Didn't eat. But the atmosphere was great. Classic Soho pub.

Best pub in Soho, a cosy place and a wonderful staff (and a nice selection of craft beers as well). Highly recommended! 🍻

Plain and simple boozer. No Shoreditch tw#ts, good ale and they don't pull ya pants down either. Drink and chat.

Where else can you find outstanding craft beer in a classic boozer? Love this place and the vibe the friendly staff cultivates. Don’t get this place confused with the other coach and horses nearby. This place is the truth.

Classic tiny corner pub in Soho. It's gets very crowded like all pubs in Soho but the staff are great, quick service, and this is one of the quieter pubs in the area

Famous haunt of Francis Bacon, John Hurt, Tom Baker, and Jeffrey Bernard. And had the rudest Landlord in London. We reviewed a play here. https://www.londonbornandbred.co.uk/post/jeffrey-bernard-is-unwell

I just love this historic pub. So glad Fuller's didn't change the look. Also glad they refurbed the toilets

My god London drinks are expensive

Nice place with a good atmosphere and good beer. Average pint price for London of around £6.50/7

Historic pub, great place to meet friends for a chat in the heart of Soho

Monster munch in a pub! Yay. Well staffed, good service. Busy with all sorts of people from everywhere yet maintains being quintessentially a proper traditional historic little London pub.

My favorite pub in London. I won’t even consider staying in a different neighborhood and not be in close proximity to this lovely place, with kind patrons and the best staff. Kudos to excellent wine selection for a non-beer drinker too.

Great beers. Great staff, Ugné is the absolute best. One of the best boozers in the area.

Quite a nice little pub well hidden in the backstreets of Soho. There seems to be a few pubs of the same name in the area, so make sure you find the right one! The pub has a nice old worldy interior seemingly for days gone by. A pint of London Pride was well kept and the staff were friendly. On keg we’re quite a few craft offerings. Having looked at the menu the prices were pretty expensive so I wasn’t tempted to have one. Luckily the ale was better priced. Worth a visit for a quick one.

Always a great place to have a pint if you can get in. We managed to squeeze in to a table and enjoyed the buzz. Quite a selection of ales these days which I can't believe the old guard would have approved of, but my pint of Deya 'What Column Is That In?' was excellent.

Excellent London Pride and Guinness Great service

Earlier this evening, can’t remember much tbh. ‘‘Twas alright I guess #3 #24

Brilliant old fashioned proper boozer!

Legendary Soho watering-hole patronised by the likes of Peter Cook, The Beatles, Francis Bacon and, most famously, the columnist Jeffrey Bernard. For years renowned for having London's rudest landlord; I can report that the service is friendly these days, but the period interior remains thankfully unchanged. Owned by Fullers since 2011 who provide a great selection on keg and cask alongside a well stocked fridge. Dog-friendly too.

A real shame as it doesn’t feel the history of this place has been preserved. The staff are great but the atmosphere and beer really fall short

Beer selection is amazing. Location is perfect! In addition, there is a handsome crew looks like Jason Momoa. He can even speak Korean! 한국분들 주변 펍 고민하지말고 이곳으로!

Superb bar that's bustling . Friendly staff and decent selection of drinks.

This bar was brilliant until it was sold 5 years ago or so. Now it is foreign owned, no atmosphere, no singing, piano or banter. £10 for a poor pint and half of lager. Don't go.

Love this pub in soho, such a lovely atmosphere, very much a proper pub compared to other pubs in the area that lack personality. Always a friendly chat with staff and not too expensive considering the pub is in the heart of the west end.

Great local boozer in the centre of Soho. Didn't eat, but good choice of drinks and attentive service. Has outdoor pavement space. Famous as the hang-out of the late journalist Jeffrey Bernard.

Nice staff and drinks but quite expensive

Friendly felt very comfortable 😌

Absolutely cracking pub. Great ales. Very friendly staff. Great atmosphere
