My husband (80) had been fancying a roast beef lunch for ages and we finally made a booking for today at The Coachman at Hartford, the village where we live. We hadn't been there for years and as it has changed hands several times during that period, were not quite sure what to expect. We both chose the roast sirloin Sunday lunch with all the trimmings (£17) and it was absolutely brilliant. The portions were enormous and everything was cooked to perfection. Our compliments to the chef! We will certainly go again and would recommend them highly. The waitresses were lovely, too. We wish the new owners the best of luck in their venture.

What an absolute disgrace of a place. I have just walked out of this establishment after awful customer service. I came in to get a few beers with my mates. When I first walked into the bar there was just myself and two other lads. One of the lads went to set up the pool table in whilst the other lad got the beers in. Whilst the barmaid was pouring the pints, another gentleman came to the bar waiting to be served. Once the bar maid had finished serving the two lads beers, she went straight to the other gentleman, by passing me. Whilst she was serving him, another gentle came to the bar and once that other gentleman was served, the bar staff went straight to the other other guy that had just walked in and started serving him. Leaving me standing for a while like a complete knob. I asked is their no queuing system in the pub to be told that they were busy I which I then walked out. The pub was not busy in any shape or means and was quite empty. No wonder your pubs is always empty if you treat customers this way. Stay away at your peril especially if your face is not recognised . Disgusting experience

Went with friends to watch the football and have dinner. Food was very good. Tried to watch the football but for some reason the bulbs in the room have the power of 4 billion candles. We had to ask to unscrew them so we could see the tv. ( they were connected to the bar lights so couldn't be turned off) They then turned the pool table light on which looked light the brightest mother ship descending from the heavens. People then started playing pool the whole way through the match. (Close the pool table if you advertise your showing the football- especially the England games?!) One of the bar staff, small blonde, acted like she owned the place. In summary, try the food, but don't watch the football there, and bring sun glasses. The coachman- pls change the bulbs throughout. It creates atmosphere, which is something the place is lacking, and train some of the staff to be friendly- it's a pub.

Since the new owners took over, the pub is the best in the area. Food is excellent, I wouldn’t even call it a pub food, more like a great restaurant. The atmosphere is very friendly. Every guest is treated like a part of the family. The kitchen is happy to accommodate our individual requests every time we need adjustments. The chef can be seen chatting with customers and taking their feedback. Every day there is something happening - quiz, live music, car show, sushi day. Something for everybody. The Sunday roast is the best I’ve ever had. Everything is cooked on site. Similarly breakfast, I can honestly say it’s the best in this area. The place is also dog friendly.

Called in for a nostalgic look at a pub that was a haunt of mine years ago. Only wanted a pint but was asked not to sit at any of the 10 or so empty tables set up for dining. Ok, It was Mothers day. But it was 4pm in the afternoon and none of the tables were reserved. Left after an unsatisfactory pint next to the gents toilets ...oh, and the rush for food hadn't happened - loads of empty tables! Next time think about what the welcome sign above the door means you jobs worth waitress. Ps I am a Mum and was made to feel unworthy 😔

A nice quite pub located just across the road from Hartford train station. We were there on a Friday evening for the first time as we have only just moved into the area, it wasn't very busy, they do serve food but we only stayed for one drink but will probably go again sometime and try the food. Staff were friendly, and the drinks a bit cheaper than some other local pubs.

The staff are all so friendly and the roaring fire helped after a long walk in the freezing cold. The food was excellent, a roast lamb dinner with all the trimmings, everything such good quality and plentiful. There was also fish and chips ordered and the same quality.

The food was stunning, I had the Steak & Ale pie, and this was made on site. Everything on our plates was well flavoured and beautifully seasoned. The pie contained succulent chunks of steak. My parthers burger was also well cooked, and seasoned well. Excellent food, friendly staff, although the menu was a bit of a mystery to some.

Well let’s translate : Fish & Chunky Chips — more like Cremated Potato Wedges and over cook fish. The garnish has died 2 days ago… Must admit when my paper serviette was stuck to the grease on the table .. we should have perhaps walked. The service was terrible slow.. my husband order a second drink and it arrived after we had finished the fish .. we were hungry but could not sink to the cremated fries. When we complained a waiter at the bar said … oh do you want me to take the drink off .. then decided to exercise is ignorance. In summery even if hungry try driving past the Coachman you will be delighted you did …

I heard that The Coachman was under new management and that the food had much improved and thought that I would give it a try. I was most impressed by the friendliness of the staff. My husband and I ordered the beef wellington and it was delicious. Beef fillet wrapped in a mushroom duxelle and puff pastry and served in a red wine jus. The fresh vegetables were beautifully cooked. This meal was worthy of a high class restaurant and not just your local pub. The interior of the pub was very tired looking and could certainly do with a make over. This is why I could only give 4 stars and not 5.

A group of us went in for a few beers. We were encouraged by four cask ales. We tried one after the other and were so disappointed. Cask beers - despite the quality of the brewery - are only good if they are well kept! These were sour and tasted bad. The Doom Bar was so bad, I had to return it! We ended up drinking Guinness or lager (they can’t do a lot wrong with these). Either the pipes are in desperate need of cleaning or the barrels are old. We did notice that locals were only buying bottled beer! Can’t vouch for the food, we went into a pub for beer - the beer was poor!

Visited during England six nations game. Probably 3rd or 4th visit. Strange atmosphere created by what seemed to be the manager telling some women off. All very odd, and I’d say if that person was the manger they need to get some training. Some guy was allowed to vape at the bar as well for the 2-3 hours we were there. That’s illegal if they read this, and I’m not being an arse, buys it’s bloody awful smelling the large amounts of whatever it is that generated by vaping.Prices are outrageous as well. £5 a pint of moretti?!

We'd heard that the Coachman had a new chef so for our first get together of 2020 we decided to give it another try. So glad we did. Six of our group were tempted by the Burns night set menu comprising Scottish canapes, Cullen skink, Haggis and Clapshot with Dalwhinie sauce, Cloutie pudding, Dram of whisky with Coffe & truffles to finish. Myself and the other chose from the standard menu - I had a soup to start, Fish & chips and Chocolate torte. The last of us had chicken liver parfait, Sirloin fillet with Raspberry bakewell to finish. Unanimous thumbs up from all eight for each course we had. As before attentive & friendly staff in a nice setting but this time the food was excellent across all courses. We conveyed our appreciation to Colin, the Chef and team for a lovely meal.

Went there tonight with 4 friends to hear a friend's band playing. We decided to have a meal before the performance. We had to wait for a menu as there weren't enough and having ordered our food we then waited an hour for it to arrive. I ordered the burger which I discovered was raw in the middle and it was on a somewhat stale bun. It was not cheap at £14 but it was a great disappointment. I also ordered a portion of onion rings which were bland and doughy and which arrived when I had all but finished my meal. Upon being asked at the end how it was I told the waitress that she might like to tell the chef to cook it thoroughly next time...this clearly fell upon deaf ears!The pub itself is very nice and the atmosphere was good, but I shall not be eating there again as I consider that my meal was at best mediocre and at worst poor!

Heating should be on to welcome people to a comfortable environment. I can get beers at half the price elsewhere in village in a warm environment and even cheaper at home.

Liked the look of the outside and thought this would be a nice place for lunch prior to our visit to the Salt Museum. We arrived at approx 145pm, ordered ham and eggs and scampi. Others had a burger and welsh rarebit. After 15 minutes,waiter came out to say that there was no scampi left. I ordered a roast beef sandwich as an alternative. The waiter came out again to say there was no ham so my husband ordered egg and chips. Some time later the missing ham was found and he was asked if he wanted it. Bearing in mind the restaurant was not busy, one couple left as they had waited half an hour. Our food duly arrived at 230pm and was probably one of the worst meals we have ever had. The ham was obviously cooked ham with a fried egg on top (not gammon). The nicest thing about the burger was the pickled gherkin (my son was so hungry he ate it all and should not be taken as a reflection that the meal was good); welsh rarebit was ok (though the crisps/chips on the side had been cooked so many times they tasted burnt.) But the "best" was my sandwich. Truly awful. I didn't ask for a club sandwich but I think they made it into one to look fancy. So one part had a piece of salad and a slice of tomato. The other section had the beef, heavily covered in mayo. What can I say about the bread? Words fail me. The waitress asked us what we thought of the meal and I told her mine was truly awful. She agreed but tried to defend it by saying that the bread was home made and not the standard sandwich bread. We did get the cost of my sandwich taken from the bill but this in no way compensated us for what was a truly awful eating experience. In all my time on tripadvisor, I have never had to write such a negative review. The place looks good but does not live up to the most minimal of expectations. I am not sure if they had a staff or food shortage problem in the kitchen - if they had, they would have been better to have shut the kitchen than serve what they did. Sorry.

Used to love having a glass or two of Pinot Grigio here. It was the best kept for miles around. Nice and cold and served in delicate glasses. Been twice since the new management - now served luke warm in jam jar thick glasses with measurement lines on the side! Won't be going back unless there's a definite improvement.

What has happened to this place since Victoria lane moved on. An absolute disaster now. Ate here at least once a week. Never again. Prices for everything over the top and beer selection dire.

The Sunday roast lamb was a very poor quality. Told the barman about it, He said he would tell the Chef, but I have my doubts whether he did.

Thats all i can say really! Drinks food and service are just ok! Nothing special compared to other pubs. I think from the prices they charge for their food they are maybe hoping to be classed as more of a restaurant, but the food isnt up to that standard. Nicely fitted out but not much of an atmosphere. Chime down the road offers better quality food and atmosphere at similar prices.

I stayed here almost every single weekend with my partner and we loved it so much that most time's we'd always book an extra night! The staff are lovely and the little rooms are lovely, it's one of our favourite places, the prices have gone up and we haven't stayed since, however it's still a lovely place and would highly recommend

We eat out regularly at least twice a week all over cheshire. Came here because we can walk and dispense with the need for a designated driver. Surprisingly, all 4 of us rate the food equal to or better than most of the specialist restaurants in Cheshire. Have been 7 or 8 times in the past 2 months and can't fault the food or service.

Visited tonight and decided to eat. New menu, reduced in quantity but certainly much improved with quality. Both meals excellent. Fish and chips with bread and butter. That’s the way to do it, good old fashioned way. Rest of menu and specials looked good also. New chef seems to have upped the appeal at this lovely pub. Thanks to Jamie for service and usual banter.

,My wife and I use rhe pub regularily,without really thinking about it. It was only when two mates called in with me following a game of golf recently and were totally smitten. They thought it was better than anything where they lived in Altrincham That got me thinking that perhaps I take the place for granted.The beer is always good,It is nicely furnished with an open fire .There is never any trouble ,it has friendly staff and is within walking distance of home..Thinking about it,It is not suprising that we and lots of others call it as our local.

Met a friend here and we had a couple of pints and some food. Staff were really helpful and the draught beer was great and the food was really tasty and good portions. First time I had been since it was updated and will be back soon.

They had a band on and that's great and the place is actually welcoming and really good fun. It doesn't look much from outside but you should go as it's worth the effort.

Menu not extensive but everything on it prepared well. Specials board always deliver something lovely. Bar staff know the Beers and Wines and advise accordingly. Great service, adaptions to meals no problem. Very attentive waiting staff and modern/traditional interior is welcoming. Fires in winter are exactly what a pub should be... recommended for lunch and dinner .. all year

A friend took me for lunch at the cafe yesterday. We were both impressed by how welcoming it felt, how friendly and pleasant the staff were and the quality of the food. So I was surprised to see negative reviews and felt I should express my opinion. I wouldn't hesitate to return, especially to sample the scones and cakes.

Extremely disappointed tonight which is unusual as we really enjoyed going before refurbishing. Food was not good a all. 3 cheese burgers one plain and 2 with one piece of lettuce and a chunk of onion. The fries on all three plates were overcooked. The onion rings were overcooked although we did eat some. The carvery was nice except for pigs on blankets as they had been left under heat lamp far to long inedible. The fried chicken sandwich was tasty.but again fries overcooked. The young lady gave me a box to bring the full burger home to put in the bin. This is unusual so not sure if they changed the chief or they were having a bad day. Tripped over the side of the chair and hurt my leg and informed the young lady it was a safety issue she said she would inform the manager but didn’t take steps to remove the hazard. ( not sure yellow and black hazard tape is adequate if it’s covered by the arm of the chair that’s broke ?) this time wasn’t value for money and we left feeling dissatisfied. Felt like they just couldn’t be bothered . Sad really as we have loved eating here 😔
