The food was very nice and good service. My wife needs gluten free and was told it was, but she was ill in the evening, so not sure if it was that or something else

We called in after having spent a morning walking a trail near the town. Even though it was nearly 3pm they made us a fresh pizza - half of it without cheese for my son who dislikes cheese! Pizza was really really good - proper Italian style 👌🏻🍕

Nicely decorated pub, good food but the menu is a bit limited. Would visit more often but the pub is not dog friendly, dogs are only allowed in the garden and not sure why as other pubs in Dereham that do food (like the Gemini) allow and actively welcome dogs.

Visited for the first time last night for the Cheese and Wine Tasting night. I went alone but was greeted with a warm, friendly welcome and a fabulous informative evening followed.

We visited The Coachmakers with our family who live nearby and we had the most amazing meal and a fabulous evening. We have been here before and over time the pub has undergone a really classy refurbishment resulting in what I consider to be a very high quality venue. Since our last visit there has been a very welcomed addition of a rather lovely “Wine Boutique” where I discovered a vast array of various high quality wines perfectly chilled and ready to either take out or drink in. My God I was like a little kid in a sweet shop! I managed to try 3 of the rosé’s (with a little help from my mother-in-law) and all were outstanding without exception. It would have been rude not to buy a selection to take home which of course I duly did. In between the wine, we all had a fantastic meal; my sirloin steak was a good size, extremely tasty and cooked to perfection. The rest of the family had nothing but good things to say about their meals, in fact my husband commented that his peri peri chicken was much better than Nando’s and double the size! My only regret is that we don’t live nearer this superb venue and if you are lucky enough to live nearby or are passing through, I urge you to pay it a visit, I can assure you that you won’t regret it! Thanks so much for such a lovely evening (and for delivering the wine) and we look forward to returning soon.

I really have to write this review today as I feel we should have come back and visited before we came home (but we did leave our camp site early) We arrived at our campsite in the pouring rain, but up our tent and I was cold and really hungry... We walked into the Coachmakers Arms and were so glad we did! The lady serving us was sympathetic and even dried our soaking wet clothes - socks and my sons and directed my husband to the nearest Tesco so we could buy replacements. She didnt rush us to decide our food even though my husband took an age in Tesco!! Our food was so lovely and much needed. The price is certainly good value for what we got and my son was chuffed he got to take the rest of his pizza home in a cool box (his words!) Couldn't thank the lady enough - just sorry we didn't go back again!

We decided to take up the Friday night steak offer, to be honest at the price they charge on a Friday night you could not go too far wrongWe booked a table for three and arrived on time Park night is easy with a car park to the rear a small garden area to either side of the back door it all looked clean tidy and well kept.We ordered drinks at the bar and went to our table, the steaks we ordered were cooked as we wanted ( one needed to be very well done) something many chefs seem unable to do , but the customer is always right and if that’s how I want my steak who is the chef not to cook it the way I want it! the steaks were really good and whilst the offer is only for steak and chips you can of course add a number of side orders if you want them. The third member of our party had the scampi but there are plenty of other things on the menu.We had three desserts my chocolate sponge with chocolate sauce and custard was really light and tasty without being too sweet, the profiteroles looked good but I wasn’t offered one to try, but the plate was cleared so they must have been good!Where the title, the coachmakers offers good food at a sensible price and yet the place was not busy come on, we need to support local businesses and at the price of the Friday steak night the place should be full to the rafters. I’m sure you will receive a warm welcome and the food really is good

Declare an interest this is our closest pub, but how lucky we are. Graham cooks some of the best food you can get anywhere and with meat supplied by Swanton Morley butchers you get the best. Steaks here are as good as the fancy restaurants in Norwich and if you fancy something else try his pies, omelette or pizza from his special oven. Good range of drinks with two real ales from Lacons and beautiful decorations. You will not be disappointed.

Called here today for a get together with friends. The premises are really nice with friendly host and excellent service. We had a very relaxed meal and there was a really nice selection of things to eat. The food was very well cooked and was served piping hot, my curry was very tasty and served with well cooked rice and poppadoms. my wife and our friends had the chicken and mushroom pie, and these looked really lovely when they arrived, they looked really appetising. They said the pie was really good and we all enjoyed our meals. The food was well presented and tasty. This pub is well worth a visit if you are in Dereham and we will go again.

Just dropped in for some lunch with my daughter. Ordered the Coachmakers burger and chips, she had the ham and mushroom Tagliatelle.The presentation of the burger was desperate, it looked like a burger you get at a greasy spoon. It lacked that green lettuce peaking out, fresh tomato on show look that Burger King have spent so much money on capturing. No side salad, no “eat me” factor.My daughters Tagliatelle did look more promising but it was completely tasteless.It lacked even a bit of salt to enhance it.I received money back for the burger which I just couldn’t get inspired to eat but my daughter ate her Tagliatelle.It would help explain why the pub was virtually empty that lunchtime.

Friendly gal behind the bar, only ales on offer were ones I don't like, no bottles of decent beer, but saving grace they had a Cornish lager that was really good, surprised how good! If you have a dog don't go there, not welcome at All, pouring down no customers at all and "no sorry no dogs" so stood at the back door with pint under the bit of cover the smokers Use, overall a nice pub, nice friendly staff, rubbish ales, no bottles of ale or anything like it, better off going to the kings head. I gave 4 stars purely for the Cornish lager and staff.

We have always been welcomed warmly and now always have to make sure we have our traditional Sunday roast at the coachmakers. The food is freshly cooked. The meat is locally sourced which adds to the flavour. Without a doubt the best roast in town.

It's a shame this lovely little venue is still closed down even now covid regulations have lifted but fortunately they still do food takeaway /delivery. I couldn't find the menu online to see what they offer, but I was able to call and as it was Sunday order the Sunday roast. This is available as a small or large, which is a nice option, as I personally prefer a smaller portion. I did ask if they had a vegan option , which they didn't but as a one off I had the vegetarian nut roast and was able ask for it without the Yorkshire or cauliflower cheese. Even as a small portion , it was really generous and had lots of vegetables, which makes me happy. Would certainly order from here again and even more so I look forward to this venue opening its doors hopefully soon, so I can enter the venue for food and drinks .
