The Coachman Hotel & Restaurant in North Lanarkshire

I chose a steak and sausage pie and got a steak sausage and vegetable pie The waitress thought it was amusing and the owner replied to my review saying it wasnt a butchers steak pie it was traditional which I assume means of lesser quality, it must be a new tradition to save on steak but it won't be a problem for me because with that attitude I won't be at the coachman again

The Coachman has always served good food but today's lunch was very disappointing. Firstly we were served starters, instead of the mains we'd ordered. This was rectified however the chicken strips were of poor quality, like cheap processed chicken and barely warm We had to return cutlery we were given due to food remnants. Then the cream for the desert was lumpy and had to be returned also. The menu has changed a lot, and not for the better. Clearly cutting corners in food quality, we won't be going back, such a shame as have been loyal customers for many years.

Disappointing Came for family lunch booked table we were given corner seat . Staff tired and stressed dumping water on table Food average Steak pie ? Cooked no gravy pastry poor mash tasteless we should have complained but just left . Make a nice meal myself at home hence no sweet coffee or Tip Won’t be back

We are at the Coachman on Friday 5th of July for a meal with family and friends. There was around 30 of us sharing our daughters 21st birthday meal and celebrations. The staff were amazing, they were exceptionally friendly and helpful right form the moment we booked over the phone. They accommodated everyone including vegetarians and young children within the party. The staff also kindly allowed us to choose and make us a set menu with 4 choices of starter, main and sweet as we were paying for this as part of the treat. The food service and flexibility of all staff was outstanding. Not an easy task to serve and prepare drinks for such large numbers. The evening was just perfect. The food was outstanding with very generous portions and a great variety. Everyone within the party were impressed and are looking forward to going back. I cannot thank the Coachman bar and restaurant staff enough for going above and beyond to make our celebrations just perfect.

Asked for a gluten free menu from the manager and he made me feel so unwelcomed. Was told nothing can be guaranteed to be gluten free and that everything was listed on their menus. Sat down and NOTHING mentioned gluten free options just that i can get a wrap and toastie. No filling had any allergen info so its quite useless 😥 Online had nothing either. Asked my waitress what can I eat and she listed off what I could. So between the rude manager and menus not making anything clear I felt like a burden. (Thank you to the waitress who actually was so nice and helpful you made me feel welcomed) Food was good.

Catch up post Christmas lunch!! with my cousin. The venue is beautiful. We had lunch, absolutely delicious. The staff are so very friendly and attentive. We felt welcome the moment we walked through the door. Would have no hesitation in recommending. Thank you for a lovely lunch. A la carte menu looked amazing too :)

13 of us ate here in early December for a 60th birthday party. Plenty of choice on the menu with very reasonable prices. The food itself was brilliant and very generous portion sizes! The staff that served us were brilliant too. It was very busy on the Saturday afternoon that we visited but there were plenty of staff working which was great to see. Would certainly recommend the coachman and look forward to eating again here in the future.

Booked a table for 15 people for hubbys birthday. When we arrived we were shown to two tables . One seating 7 and the other 8. Asked for something more suitable to be told they don’t have enough room for table of 15. Had we known this I wouldn’t have booked . Food was lovely. Service good too. Then charged a £40 service charge!!! Absolutely shocking! Didn’t get what we had booked . I’ve emailed 3 times for an explanation- no reply . I’ve called and still waiting on manager to return my call. So disappointed. Won’t be back

First time visiting restaurant in long time and it did not disappoint. Tasty food, great choice on menu, very reasonable priced, excellent staff service from all of the team. They worked well as a team, very impressed will definitely return. Mid week and it was busy.

Came here for my dad's birthday. The place was mobbed due to them being busy with the football, a wedding and a birthday party, nevertheless, the staff did an excellent job despite being rushed off their feet.Food was exceptional. I had the scallops for starters which were very tasty, then the fillets of seabass for main which was immaculate and to finish off for dessert - the sticky toffee cheesecake which was the best cheesecake I've had in a while!

This is an outstanding establishment in this price bracket. That said, I actually think it is under priced given the professional service, quality of food in the restaurant and hearty breakfast. The restaurant's atmosphere was also wonderful.While some aspects of the room are a little functional, at less than £60 per night I think The Coachman is a bargain! All staff were wonderfully warm and friendly and the business appears to be very well run. I'll certainly recommend The Coachman and look to return if I'm in the area again. 5 stars all round. Thank you for a perfect stop over.

Came here today for lunch. Firstly a heads up to the lovely waitress who served us, she was so helpful and polite . We booked a table outside, the food was good. Lunch two courses for £11.50, food good. Above all outstanding and genuine great service.

Normally stay in hotel ,but price gone up and breakfast extra now so stayed elsewhere. But bar and food cannot fault very good prices and friendly staff

Ordered food for collection, always ready on time. Tastes great. Packaging for transport is good. Very tasty. Nice friendly service.

Always good for a decent meal and this visit was no different. Ate outside in the gazebo for the first time and it is a great set up and customers able to order online now, and drinks brought to the table. My husband raved about the Korean lamb, stating it might have been the best meal he's ever had. The only reason I didn't give a 5 rating is because my lasagne was a little weird. There was carrot in it and lots more tomato than I'm used to and it tasted bizarrely sweet!

We ate here as a group of 4 adults. The menu had a good variety to cater for the meat lover, fish lover and vegetarian. The mussels were particularly good.

Was horrified when I more closely checked my bill when I got home.Firstly, was moderately satisfied with the food and service.But horrified that 2 cans of diet coke and 1 can of Iron bru were £2.70 each. That's £8.10 for 3 x330ml cans. A bit steep!

Booked in for a family dinner, was very busy due to it being the last night before restaurants closed again. All staff working very hard and coping with the busy night. Korean chicken starter was a big hit and lasagne and macaroni dinners were great and generous portions! Service quick and friendly! Will be back once it reopens.

Had such high hopes for The Coachman after reading their online reviews, sadly we were very disappointed. I wish I had read the reviews on Trip Advisor first! The service was very good, cannot complain about that. But, the roast beef dinner, I do not know what they did to this beef, it was brick hard and mine was inedible! I'm 99% sure that the vegetables were previously frozen and the 'creamy mash' was instant mash as there was absolutely no flavour whatsoever.A member of staff came over to enquire about our meal and we told her that it was not good. We then spoke with, I think, a manager, who sympathised with us and stated that he would take something off the bill to apologise for the meal being so over cooked. We thought that this was a good response to our complaint. We received our bill and, yes, they did take something off of our bill - £5.40! We won't be back.

This was our first visit to the Coachman and I couldn’t fault it - the service was friendly and food was great. My husband had the turkey roast and I had a BLT sandwich with a side of Mac and cheese (why not!). The portions were hearty and the food tasty. I felt it was good quality and value for money. A table close by had burgers that looked amazing, we’ll be ordering those on our next visit! Their COVID measures were also appropriate - they staff took health and safety very seriously and I felt safe. The only slight criticism I have is inside the bar/ restaurant/ reception is plush and recently done up - whereas outside is a wee bit tired looking - but just a small observation. We’ll be back!

I think the price of some dishes is not worth the money, we had several dishes and they weren't all that, 10/10 for covid compliance.

Enjoyed a Sunday evening meal, service was good and food was lovely. Highly recommend the scallops dish.

Been here twice now and they didn’t disappoint. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. The food was absolutely lovely good portions too. Great for couples and families or if your just wanting to have some drinks as they have a beer garden too.

I have been here 3 times now, twice as a couple and twice with family and all 3 times the food and service has been excellent! Looking forward to my next visit

We live 10 mins along the road from the Coachman and despite driving past it a few times a week for the past 6 years, we have never been in it.My wife booked it for a valentines meal so we could give it a try. From the minute we walked in the door we loved it. Very clean and freshly decorated bar/ restaurant area.Staff we very attentive without being to much in your face. They had a good couple of menus on offer with a really good choice of meals. Our order came relatively quick and was nothing short of fantastic. Full of great flavours and smells. We ended up having 3 courses and 3 drinks each and our bill was just short of £70. Worth every penny, and we will definately be back...

Went to the Coachman for a work leaving do and because there was more than 7 of us we had a £30 service charge? I wonder how many groups of more than 7 haven’t noticed this on their bill, Definitely won’t be back just feels like being ripped off terrible.

Great atmosphere, great staff. Have now celebrated two New Years Eve’s nights there. Excellent 5 course meal considering the number they cater for coupled with a great Scottish celebration. Good day time menu with a good selection of meal options.

We were taken there today for a late lunch. The three of us had lovely meals. Huge portions, in fact an option for smaller portions would be a good idea. Great value for money.Staff were attentive, although I could see that if they were very busy you may be left waiting. Looking forward to our next visit. Nicely refurbished. I would recommend visiting.

Food is always amazing would always recommend. So surprised that it only has 3 star rating. I love it and will be back

Our family visited on Christmas Eve... the restaurant was mobbed, however the staff where all friendly & cheery... our table was a little delayed, which was fine, the food was all cooked lovely.. We will definitely return

We visited on a Friday evening as they have a steak night special. You can have 2 rump, sirloin or fillet steaks for £25, £35 or £45 respectively and a free bottle of wine is included. Sauces are £2 extra per person.We went for the fillets steaks and have to say they were absolutely fantastic. They were about 8oz, we asked for medium and they came cooked just like we asked. They are on a par or better than miller and carter. They are served with fries, mushroom and onion rings. Couldn’t fault the plate of food and plates were cleared.The free wine was perfectly drinkable for a free house bottle, it was polished off!We also had starters of chicken tempura and a bread and oil selection to share, again really nice. Chicken very white and tender.We finished off with desserts. Apple and Rhubarb crumble with custard which was delicious and a chocolate truffle bomb which I’m told was also very nice.This came in at £77 before tip. The service was also excellent so a tip was left to reflect.Overall an excellent experience and we look forward to doing it again some time!!

Popped back for a light lunch with friends. Restaurant was quiet and as you would expect we were quickly served. Food was very good

Place was busy on a Friday evening, service at bar was good but the food a let down, the steak pie was dry inside and overcooked, the triple cooked chips are frozen chips and the lasagna was very grainy. I wouldent rush back.

Stayed here in March 19 and again this weekend, hotel side ,clean rooms and comfortable but could do with upgrade like they've done down stairs in bar and restaurant. Food has a good variation of choices and always fresh, staff friendly and helpful, only disappointment tonight was bar had been booked out to parties handmade seating hard to find as all tables were reserved, fortunately we were able to find good bar and restaurant locally. Good place for large parties

Was treated to another retirement doo by my work colleagues. This was my first visit and I was pleasantly surprised at the ambience and also the meal which was of large portion and most enjoyable. Worth a visit if you're in the area

Service always a shambles, rare steak took 65 mins to come out and was well done. No apology or nothing, would you like another. No thank you. What a day, not been back since but still burned in my memory, a bit like my steak.

My friend and I went for dinner on a Friday night, the place was busy but we were able to get a table straight away and were given a nice little table by a window, the menu had great choice with both of us finding it difficult to pick something, we ended up going for steak pie and the katsu chicken burger, both were sizeable portions with both us struggling to finish, my friend had some allergies so had to make a few amendments to her food and this was no problem at all, we only waited about 10 minutes for our meal which was impressive as it was busy with large tables and parties. We both got the cookie waffle dessert which wearn’t sure as the discrption on the menu does not prepare you for the size of it, we probably could have shared the one between it as neither of us ate more than half of it as it contained two waffles 4 or 5 Jaffa cakes loads of cream, syrup and sugar cookies, the prices were very reasonable as well as the total for the two of us came to just over £30 which is gray considering the portion sizes, the only downside of the coachman is the limited park space but that may have been down to it being busy, but overall great

Never ever given a review before but felt i had to speak up about this absolutely fantastic place. Stayed overnight for a business trip. Nice spacious, modern clean room with excellent shower. The restaurant menu is inspired, really interesting dishes cooked to perfection and very generous portions. The staff are even more impressive, totally attentive, caring and the epitome of efficiency and professionalism. Wish i could stay here more often

The food is brilliant, great for family gathering or a wee romantic day for two. Loads of free parking spaces at the rear (huge bonus)

Food is lovely and you get huge portions. Staff were very friendly and the restaurant is spotless. Would highly recommend a visit here if you are in the area

First and last visit to this place,

Never had any problems with the coachman! We regularly will pop down for breakfast and it is lovely. I also like going for dinner here as the food is very nice.

We had booked a table for 10 people to celebrate my mother in laws 70th birthday. Our orders were taken reasonably quickly, with our starters following at a similar pace, however this is when everything went downhill. Following completion of our starters, we had to ask at least 2 members of staff on several occasions when our mains would be arriving as we had waited a very long time and had a young child to feed. Once our mains were finished we ordered desserts (only some of the group ordered). After asking 3 members of staff 5 times and 1 hour later, the desserts finally arrived, however, the children’s one was missing, apparently this was missed off the check. There was a 25 minute gap between the adult desserts and the child’s, even after several reminders.

Very clean meal was really really good we had a sharing platter for starters which is meant for two people be warned this could feed 4 no bother at all Not complaining just surprised how big it was compared to other sharing platter we have had in other places.Service was first class didnt hurry you always came up to the table to see if you wanted another drink if your glass was nearly empty I would go back again in the near future

My friend and I enjoyed a thoroughly delicious lunch today.

Could not fault the special lunch menu, good quality food and very reasonably priced. Why does the restaurant have the coffee machine next to tables in the dining area. The noise did spoil the atmosphere. Surely there must be another area where this could be placed. I would definitely ask to be seated well away from this machine

Had lunch the famous steak pie you get a generous amount great value my partner had a baggette with side fries very generous amount. It is my local but food is fantastic the staff and the service is great. Would recommend everytime.

This is a nice place to eat very good menus with excellent choice food is superb and staff are very attentive

We had the unfortunate pleasure of dining at the coachman on 12/01/2019. What was meant to be a lovely evening turned into one of the worst experiences ever in a restaurant.

We were 11 for lunch on New Year’s Day ( 7 choosing from main menu, 4 children) and it was excellent. Service was fast and friendly, and the food was piping hot. We ordered two sharing combos ( supposedly for two people!) and they were hearty platters! Steak pie was very good ( though mine needed salt, but that’s just me), and the ‘ real’ vegetables were tasty. Macaroni and pasta bolognese went down well with the wee ones. Sticky toffee pudding was outstanding, and the bill was not at all painful.

Great food. Good varied choice on menu. Lovely new decor and great service. Toilets spotless. Always busy so best to book.

Good value breakfast, good selection, efficient service. Great top-up tea on offer, which in my experience can be too strong from the pot, but was perfect here.

Came in here for tea and some food, great standard of decor, staff were very friendly and served quickly

Went here with my son and daughter last Saturday evening, it was very busy but we had booked so no problem. The staff were very friendly and efficient. I had the Cullen Skink soup which was tasty enough, but there was only one tiny piece of fish in it, mostly potato and a bit leek, I thought it was a bit overpriced too at £6+. However the steak pie was very good indeed as was the creamy mash. Too much for me, I couldn't finish it. I will definitely be back to try other dishes, overall a great night. The place is looking good too after the renovation.

Went here with my friend for a catch up. Food was amazing staff very attentive would recommend to everyone.

Absolutely brilliant service for such a large table. Food was excellent, all on time and no issues - table of 16. Portions are huge, great value for money. Ipads that the servers have make things so much easier, regularly asked about drinks and if all OK. Was a great night - thank you!

The food was very good and the prices very reasonable. Would recommend this for breakfast, lunch, dinner or just coffee.

We have had many family meals in this restaurant and have always enjoyed it. However this meal was not up to the usual high standard we have come to expect. Worrying we weren't asked if there was any problem with the meal when plates were cleared with very little eaten.

Just been to lunch with a friend we had Southern Fried Kickin chilli chicken wrap and one on white bread toasted. The wrap chicken was freezing when we returned this we were told that’s how the chicken is served and basically tough. We were in last week and had the same meal and the chicken was warm. Bar staff rude and couldn’t be bothered. Definitely won’t be back.

Whenever we come to visit family nearby we always make a point of eating dinner her most nights of our stay. The food never disappoints, the staff are helpful and friendly and the cost is reasonable. I wish we had a place like this in our town!

Popped in for lunch yesterday. One of many visits and yet again another lovely meal!. I've been to christening.and birthday parties. Xmas dinner,Boxing Day Lunch and several more visits. I've never been disappointed. Food is excellent and the staff are on point. Great place for all the family. Nothing is a bother. Excellent.

Best visit yet with wide variety of options at reasonable prices. Food great, service efficient. Was quiet when we were in but staff are friendly and helpful. Only complaint was that we asked for no bacon with the mussels which was overlooked but thankfully our guest was not vegetarian so picked this out.

We have family who have moved in nearby so decided to try it out.

Visit the coachman often. Food of a high quality, extensive menu, portions are always very large with many offers and specials on

Lovely food - great atmosphere - nice surroundings - good parking - friendly staff - long opening times

Great Place for a drink, plenty of seats outside to enjoy the sunshine. Food great too. Very reasonable.

Staff were very understanding when we arrived late, so accommodating, a mistake with food order quickly rectified, and service efficient. Food was absolutely great too and barely a scrap left on any plates. They seem to have sorted the portion sizes too, as i often found them too big in the past. Service slowed somewhat as it got busier but we were not in a hurry. A great meal!

Thought this would be drab pub grub, but menu was extensive and varied enjoyed all meals here Breakfast good too

The service was excellent the starters were 1st class as was the main course we had 2 children and their choices where good but not extensive my main course was a ceaser salad with prawns the serving was a little big and i couldnt finish it all the serving portions where on the large side but extremely good value for money with the 2 courses for a set price

We stay in Kilsyth eat here most weeks the food is second to none, special menus on through the week and Sunday roasts are amazing. Staff are brilliant..going for a nightout not too many staff on in the bar so a bit slow at time.

Not-so-lucky us, it was Karaoke night in the bar, which meant noise until nearly two. The room was all right, though the shower was tiny and the floor torn up with scratches. But facing the road, we had to close the window and it got stuffy. Breakfast was decent.

We've stopped in here a few times now for lunch and have never been disappointed. The food is always top notch and I have never had cause to complain. The waiting staff are usually great too although some of the younger staff can be a bit surly. A smile goes a long way! The restaurant is always busy and welcoming.

Ate here recently and found both food and service very good indeed. The scallops were tasty; the tikka sizzler very good and the lamb was delicious. All generous portions too. The waiting staff were very helpful and friendly. Would certainly recommend.

It was food to get out after being stuck indoors due to ba weather and we thought the place would be really busy. Pleasantly surprised to see it quiet which meant great service and the food was also very good indeed - better than I remember it. Good value and we couldn't finish our plates. It was much busier by the time we left reflecting the standard of this restaurant.

We ate here a couple of times during our trip and thoroughly enjoyed the food. The staff were very friendly and time between courses was perfect. I love that it's family owned and not a chain.

We were staying in the hotel so ate here for dinner and breakfast.

Loved the food in this place, the service was prompt and the food has always been really good! I recommended the Cajun burger!

Very impressed by the interior and layout of the restaurant.

Booked for the Boxing Day Carvery 3 courses. Waited half an hour after ordering for a prawn cocktail and pate starter, which was fine. My son had the kids beef burger and was dry and bun toasted to hide it was stale, chips were undercooked. Carvery was good no issues. Waited 45 minutes after our mains before prompting for dessert where our main course plates were cleared. We became impatient and only when we left to pay at the counter did the manager (or assistant) serve. We indicated could not wait any longer to which received a very tongue and cheek sorry. We paid for the dinner including our slidesserts (even though we never eat them) and the same lady with authority did not even offer to remove them from the bill.

The Coachman serves very good food, well presented and not overly fancy. Great value and excellent service every time. TV...

2 of us ate off the lunch menu. Nice surroundings although a bit dark. Service was very good and attentive, Menu was good. Had 2 course meal which was good value.Food was good.

Macaroni was inedible and tasteless and quite frankly disgusting! Poor service and the place was freezing! Not be back and definately wont be recommending it to anyone. Poor show Coachman

We went near Valentines Day for a meal ! We were seated really quickly and our drinks arrived quickly too! no sooner had we ordered the food , when the meal arrived. It was so nice ....nice and warm and fresh ! Staff were lovely and attentive ! Definitely be back !

Tastefully done up but recently food has left a bad taste.Used to be pretty good value but now things seem to have taken a turn for the worse and food just hasn't been up to scratch. You can find much better locally.Must try harder.

A spur of the moment lunch for three people. Arrived around 2pm and had not booked. The staff were preparing for a large booking and led us to the bar area. Nice two course lunch menu for only £10.50 a head. We had lovely lentil soup, chicken pate. Steak pie x 2 and a chicken wrap with chips and salad. Too much coleslaw on the wrap. Would be better as a side dish only. Despite that a pleasant lunch in nice surroundings and friendly staff. Worth a visit.

The hotel is well appointed for an intimate wedding which we thoroughly enjoyed! The staff were fantastic, a wider wine selection behind the bar and a few cocktails would have been fab. The barman was willing to give it a go and happily through together a couple of French martinis following my very ropey instructions on how to make them - it wasn't the best but we appreciated the effort! The rooms ticked all the boxes in terms of facilities they were small, basic and clean and well presented which provides great value. The breakfast was freshly cooked, decent quality and with only two staff serving they did a great job. All in a fab team effort from the coachman. The only thing that resulted in the lower score was the quality of food for the main meal - but it didn't negatively impact one the day.

May not look the most appealing from the outside but once inside, the refurbished lobby and dining area are thoroughly impressive.We called here on the off chance of a hearty breakfast as part of our travels through Scotland. We were not disappointed!The waiting staff were superb and the service second to none. We both opted for the nine item breakfast and a mighty plateful at a very fair price it was!This is definitely the place to visit and if time permits we will definitely call back for lunch or dinner.

Was told about this by a friend so decided to try it out for ourselves. Beautiful sirloin steak with chips, mushroom, tomato and sauce. All for £35 for two including a bottle of house wine.

Very good food - be aware the portions are considerable - excellent, friendly service and great value for money. 4 of our party were "elderly" and the only complaint was that the music was a bit loud

We have only been here twice now and we eat out a lot, too much lol. The standard of food here needs to be recognised, it`s top notch.The choice is very good, too much to decide sometimes. We had 2 starters, two mains, one sweet between us as we had no room left to have one each and 3 drinks for £53 ! The restaurant is very, very busy which speaks for itself. We live 40 minutes away but already planning to go back. For us it`s the new benchmark by which we will measure all others

Been here loads and usually very good for food as previous reviews have stated. Today however, very disappointing. Popped in for lunch with family, waited 50 minutes after ordering for food to arrive. 2 of the meals were returned due to the chicken still being pink. Staff were great as always in resolving the issue but still put a dampner on the trip..... place is great for drinks though!

Dined here with my 2 year old son & my friend with her 2 year old. Booked the kids eat free deal. We were sat down & given a breakfast menu. Informed the waitress then we were given the correct menu. Placed our order & it OK nearly 40 minutes to arrive. During this time our children were getting bored. Tables who ordered after us received there food before us. I enquired about our order & got given the excuse the chicken took longer to cook than expected. When really I think they forgot to put our order on. Not acceptable especially with our children being there. No offer of drinks as an apology or discount on bill. The meals were not served together. 3 meals got brought out then I had to wait for mine. I ordered the rosemary chicken wrap which was tasteless. I asked to swap the fries to a side salad & I received both. I ordered the chicken curry for my son. It was nice however not enough curry for the amount of rice given so a lot of rice was left. Portions were generous however not sure I'll return due to bad service. Restaurant was quiet & we waited far too long for our food.

The service is always spot on the food is good value great for a meet up with friends in a lovely environment. Morning coffee is good always served with a biscuit. On weekends best to book

Passant la nuit dans un B&B situé au fond d'un coin paumé (merci Evaneos pour cette blague) nous sommes tombés par hasard sur ce restaurant.Pas convaincus mais n'ayant pas le choix, nous avons eu la surprise de trouver un restaurant familial qui se préparait pour la soirée karaoké du vendredi.Le personnel est très agréables, les plats arrivent assez rapidement et leur qualité et tout à fait honorable, que ce soit la salade cesar ou les pâtes... Rien à redire sur ce restaurant si ce n'est que le service finit assez tôt (8h30 de mémoire)Une vraie bonne surprise

We had booked a table for 7pm, we were there just before our time and we were told to wait at the bar. Ten minutes later one of our party went to ask what was happening and the we got seated. Our drinks order was taken and we got that quite quickly. Ten minutes later someone was passing and asked if we had ordered, we hadn't so they took out order. Half an hour later someone came to say my starter had ran out so I had to order something else. Half an hour after this, an hour and ten mins after we had been there I asked where our starters were. The staff apologised and said it would be 5-10 mins. When the starters came they were fine but were hardly worth the wait. My sons chicken burger came at the same time and it was far too crispy to eat. After the starters we again had to wait 20 mins for our main meals, at this point my wife ordered more wine which never came. My wife's main was good but my macaroni was dry and disgusting, tasteless and just very poor. We obviously said to our waiter who alerted the manager. The manager was great, apologised and took the bad meals off the bill. We don't live close but we won't be back again.

I went here on Tuesday and it was incredible! Ham and pineapple pizza was the best I've ever had. Came back this afternoon and it was bacon instead of ham. The tomato was whole on the pizza instead of diced like last time. I'm not sure if it's different chefs? It was still delicious although I would prefer everything diced and the bacon was so crispy I would've preferred ham. Bon bons were absolutely delicious although dip was quite vinegary.

We ate at The Coachman to replace the calories lost on a long distance cycle ride and it didn't disappoint. Freshly made and commendably hot. Great staff attitude / attentiveness and that was despite the occasional (background) sounds of the end of internal alterations and joinery works which I believe were due to finish in the next day or so.Highly recommended and thank you for the experience.
