The Coach House in Renfrewshire

My wife and I sought a place to celebrate 34 years married. This has to be one of our best anniversary dining experiences. The staff were cheery and efficient, the atmosphere was just right, the food was delicious, a dream on a plate. Many thanks, we'll be back!

Did not have a good experience in this pub.We were there to watch the football there were two games on one an English team the other a scottish team they had the sound on from the English game when we asked it they could change it to the scottish game was told that they can only have the sound on from one of the games and they choose to put it on the English game the barmaid then said to people sitting at the bar that she would not have the sound of the scottish game "not on my watch"there were more people watching the scottish game so could not understand why the sound for the scottish game was not on. When I asked the manager what was the policy for what game sound should be on was not given an answer.Then the barmaid came over to the table to say that she never said to me not on her watch I told her she never said it to me but to the people that were standing at the bar. We were speaking to other people who were sitting watching the game who also said that they will not be back.Shame to loose about 6 or more customers because of the attitude of the barmaid.

We have been here on numerous occasions and found it to be welcoming and food was above average. Last visit was extremely poor service, wrong food, delays in correcting order then having to chase for desserts and also the bill. Staff literally disappeared and eventually had to call at the bar for someone. Previously emailed about this service as was unusual to give then the chance to reply. No response from them so here’s is my review.

This was the first time we have been here for a while. We won’t be rushing back first we arrived 5 minutes early for our booking the restaurant was not to busy we sat at our table for 20 minutes then my daughter had to seek one of the servers to take our order eventually when the food arrived it was average at best I got the chef’s crispy beef it was ok but the noodles were soggy two of us got the Thai chicken dish the chicken was burnt and tough this was not the marinade we got deserts which were ok as no cooking involved disappointed as this is quite expensive for what you get then two servers plus this the guy who greeted us at the door asked if we wanted the bill when we had already paid it then harassed says the said they needed the table wonder where they all were when we arrived oh also they never came back with our change won’t be back

Decided to return to The Coach House after a disappointing meal 2 weeks ago at Palomino's in Bishopton . What a difference, staff were excellent and the quality of the food was also excellent. Well worth the travel and well worth the money, far superior on all levels.Back to

We went to the Coach House for the first time last night, 2nd of July for a birthday celebration. The food was great. But I must mention the excellent service we received from the waiter called Ruben and a young girl, blonde hair. Ruben was so professional and friendly and made us feel so welcome. Having travelled, this is one of the best services we have received and so attentive. We will definitely be returning with our family. Thanks to Ruben especially and staff! See you soon.

I've been coming to this restaurant for years but over a while there has been a huge shift & it now seems to have this very pretentious air when you walk in. The staff always make you feel like you're a hassle, even just asking for a table is a big inconvenience for them if you haven't booked. I don't want to blame the staff specifically because I feel that attitude has to start from above to be so instilled in them. They are not rude to kids per say but they certainly don't make them feel welcome (bringing a pram is another time you can feel staff desperate to do an eye roll). I always witnessed a staff member (fraser I'm sure his name was) scold a grown woman infront of lots of tables for how she was sitting. The food is OK, its pub food in a pretty setting. Talking to friends/family/neighbours in the area its getting a really bad reputation recently, it needs to he careful with lots closing on bridge of weir high street & their competition (Amaretto) offering similar prices/ambience but with a much more welcoming atmosphere, the coach house might not have a lot left in a few years to come

We were really impressed with the decor and atmosphere of the restaurant, even though it was not very busy. The lunch menu was reasonably priced with a selection of comfort food that was well presented and of a high quality, the service was excellent and the staff were really interested to ensure that everything was to our satisfaction. I would recommend this venue for lunch

Excelente gastronomia e excelente serviço, muito acolhedor, ambiente familiar, recomendo a todas as famílias. O sorriso é amabilidade do Sr Rúben é contagiante.

The Eggs Benedict were really tasty and the coffee was one of the best I had lately. Staff is friendly and make you feel very welcome. Definitely a new spot for breakie before I head to Glasgow

We had been to the coach house plenty of time before this fact along with some good food and some lovely staff brings this review up to 3 stars. The younger members of the team could not have been more helpful every one of them greeted us with a smile and were very polite. However the older team lack this skill set, between ignoring my daughter and slow service the standard was low. The food tasted great as always just a shame it came warm served on cold plates and the cold drinks arrived with warm glasses.

Fantastic food and service! We had lunch over the Easter weekend and had to write this review as I had read recent poor reviews. The service was attentive and helpful from our arrival. Cocktails made and delivered promptly. Food was absolutely delicious, we all had the slow cooked lamb and were impressed with the quality of the lamb, veg and sauce! The restaurant was very busy but we had great service throughout our visit.

Attended 15th March for a birthday celebration. Quality of food was very poor all round. I had Gochujang crispy chicken Bao Buns. The buns were inedible with the bread being dry and stale without anything to provide moisture. The remainder of the group were generally unhappy with their meals but we persisted as it was a family celebration. After dinner we were served by 2 young female waitresses for drink orders. The conduct of these waitresses was completely unacceptable. It was clear that they did not want to be there and we were met with eye roles and one word answers to any questions we had about drinks or coffees. I have never experienced rudeness to this level in a restaurant in my life. Despite living in Bridge of Weir I will never return to this place. To the management, focus on the quality of your food but focus even harder on who you are hiring, these girls are going to lose you customers in droves.

It's always indicative of how things are going to go when you order a black coffee and they ask if you would like milk in it. We went in for breakfast around 11 this morning. The decor is lovely, the toilets are excellent and the place is spotlessly clean. Seated quickly and then left for maybe 10 minutes before someone took an order for two black coffees (yes,no milk) and eventually brought them before vanishing for ages. Then someone took our food order. I had the full breakfast thing and it was what you'd expect pretty much anywhere. Food finished, sat for ages waiting for someone to appear and eventually asked a young lady for the bill and the card machine please. A long time later the bill came, but no card machine. Then maybe 10 minutes later a chap appeared with the card machine. Nothing awful, just not particularly attentive. Points then: Decor / Design: 10/10 Cleanliness: 10/10 Food: 7/10 - the bacon let them down, otherwise it was the right side of OK. Service: 2/10 - that's 1 point for getting dressed and making it into work and the other point for not going home early. Yet.

Family of four who went for a full Scottish breakfast. The service was very good from taking orders, getting the food, asking if everything was fine and if we wanted something else to clearing off the table and paying the bill. The full Scottish breakfast was a massive plate full of everything wanted in a cooked breakfast and the ingredients were of best quality. The atmosphere was very cosy and warm with good ambiance of other guests chatting away. We had a great time and will get back soon.

Absolutely fabulous establishment the food was absolutely devine, waiting staff were celebrate, an absolute fine dining

Fish pie main is the best, compliments to the chef, waiting staff are far to young and are unable to communicate properly with the public, was told tonight that I had ordered a drink that I had not and refused to return and was told I would be charged…. For a drink I never consumed, had to ask for the manager, so sad as our meal was wonderful, but sorry to say I will not be back, for a young girl to tell me I had ordered a drink twice I have never drunk in my life…completely ridiculous especially when she never even took the order.

Not the same experience as previous visits When we called to book we were informed sun-thur from 5pm a set 2 course menu at £18 is available. When given our menus on Sunday we were first told by the waiter the offer is not available on a Sunday we showed the waiter the offer still on their website clearly showing it was, he then told us it’s not on because they are low on stock !…but most of the mains on the offer is on the menu he handed us, Food and service not as good as previous visits. Why advertise menus that people book for to be told on arrival the offer advertised is not on available !!! Too many other places looking for business we will be giving our business their way.

Shocking Service, we come here a lot and service is always slow, but this was a new low. Twenty minutes before being asked what we would like to drink, asked for a glass of ice long with the drinks, never came. Fifteen minutes later took our food order, one of our party ordered a side of chips with their main meal , which came ten minutes later before any starters had arrived, we sent it away and said we wanted it with meal!! Starters eventually came and was lovely, starter plates cleared then we waited for main course, by this time we had been seated for one and half hours and still no main dish. When it did arrive again meal was nice so no complaint about the food. At the start, one of our group had used the ladies toilet and noticed there was no toilet paper, she informed the staff, but this was never sorted while we were there. At end of the meal we asked for the bill, well we waited and waited, eventually we lost patience with them and had to put our coats on and pay st the bar!!! Two things about this experience firstly restaurant wasn't busy and there appeared to be plenty of staff and secondly one may ask why we didn't make a fuss, well because of previous experience with poor service we wanted to see how long it would actually take them to serve us, As we paid the bill at the bar we complained about the service and staff didn't appear to be bothered and offered no apology. We love the decor and the food in here but we have given the restaurant many chances but that was the last straw, no more

Really disappointed with our family brunch today and it’s the second time in a row we have not enjoyed it as much as previous visits. The staff were all friendly but the service was sooo slow and the place was nowhere near full. Hot drinks took ages ( could see them made and sitting in bar for an extensive time before a waitress would bring them over. Food took forever and was very average, caramelised banana pancakes were nowhere near as nice as previous visits and no longer caramelised… No rush to return

Arrived and no kids menus printed, didn’t return to take order for 15 minutes and still didn’t bring kids menus- looked it up online. Asked for all food to come together at same time but kids to come whenever ready. The starter arrived after 30 minutes (it was a prawn salad). Then when we asked if everything else was coming at the same time they realised their mistake. It then took another 30 minutes for all for the arrive. My focaccia was meant to have smoked applewood cheese but didn’t, so asked them to add it in and they just played dumb and put cheddar in it. It wasn’t busy when we were there and lots of staff on but we seemed to be avoids after the prawn cocktail error. No one came back to take payment so had to go to them. No real care or attention given and don’t think staff are particularly friendly. Food was ok and ambiance nice but won’t be back as not the first time we’ve had this experience there.

Go to the Coach House as our first choice of restaurant for both lunch and dinner. However, our dinner with friends on the 30th December was marred by a group of 8 people who were riotous beyond belief, and it got worse as the drinking increased. Saw people leaving before they had finished their after meal drink. Member of staff apologised on our way out, we did point out a member of staff should have asked them to tone down the noise although that is not always an easy task. For the first time in over 3 years in frequenting the Coach House the meal was only ok, and not very hot. This could be due to the restaurant being very busy on the night. Will we go back YES and hope this was just one poor experience.

Amazing atmosphere fab food 10/10 we will return thanks again coach house. Staff are so friendly nothing is to much for them. Also attentive can’t wait to return thanks again

Friendly and efficient staff and good timings with the food and drink as well as delicious food :) I am quite fussy when it comes to eating out but I could find no fault with this lunch time meal and service.

Food was fine but menu very limited. Would be better to have some more ‘classic’ options on menu. Decor is lovely and food well presented.

We visited with family from Canada and could not be happier , service was warm and friendly from Florence , food was spot on and specials were great. Definitely be back

Monday lunch and at least 40 covers of happy diners, which speaks volumes. Good assortment of tables in 2 adjoining rooms including couple of round ones for families/bigger groups. 2 course lunch for £18, plenty of choice, or a la carte. Staff are lovely, well...

Very disappointed. Awful music far to loud, even staff could not hear resulting in wrong order. I ordered Sunday roast chicken dinner with trimmings including Yorkshire pudding but received roast chicken with peppercorn sauce in a bowl, and when I complained my meal was taken...

This was my second visit to this restaurant having had a lovely experience last time I decided to go back for my birthday dinner. I had the Thyme roasted chicken first time and enjoyed it so much decided I would have it again, first time...

Was here today with my grown up children and 2-year old granddaughter. Lovely day so we sat in the outside area. Lovely table in the sun. Food suited us all. 3 of us had good value 2-course lunch £17.95 I think. We most enjoyed salt/pepper...

We stopped at The Coach House whilst visiting relatives in the village and had two delicious sandwiches with fries. Excellent, would definitely come back.

The food was really good, much better than I remembered, but the service was appalling. Bizarrely, it got worse the emptier the place got and the more waiting staff we could see, the more they seemed to ignore us. We would have had desserts, but...

Stopped here for something to eat while out a cycle with friends. The grub was good and the place was lovely. Will definitely come back again. Steak pie was good, but could do with a bit more gravy in it.

I’m a local and don’t visit here as often as I should so decided to have lunch here with a friend. Really nice relaxed surroundings, friendly attentive staff that ensured we were looked after and the food was very good. Only one criticism - the...

So so bitterly disappointed by our experience at The Coach house, Bridge of Weir for mums birthday. We had been given a classic menu but we have 3 diabetics and a coeliac in the family so asked to see the other menu. When it was...

Great experience each and every time I visit the Coach House. Food is always amazing, served quickly and great service from all members of staff

Service in bar is pathetic. Bar left unattended for long periods so have to go through to the restaurant to get someone's attention. The female who appears to be a manager makes a point of fawning over regulars but ignoring everyone else. Horrible atmosphere. Won't...

Please ignore some of the (false) negative reviews on this site. The Coach House and particularly the bar is very well done. It’s a relaxed atmosphere and very polite staff , particularly Debbie who works extremely hard to ensure your satisfaction. We visit once a...

It’s becoming a bit of a favourite and we now go here more than to Coast at Langbank or Puntinim Kilmacolm. Coast obviously has the amazing view,Punto has excellent coffee, but for overall quality of food, service, price point, this is the place. Tempura of...

Bloody awful service! Spoiled my friends birthday! Starters all wrong for main courses wrong bill wrong just sub standard service! No management no resolution! Amaretto by far the best restaurant in bridge of weir!
