great helpful bookshop. staff very helpful and ordered books for collection. same price as online retailers and texted when ready for collection. support your local bookstore.

There were 5 adults, we were shown to our table and Charlotte served us. A friendly welcome and took our order, she also checked on whether we had everything, the mesl was exceptionally tasty and well presented. Was patient when paying the bill as I was fortunate to have a discount code and helped me with finding it for me using my phone. Would certainly recommend this eatery.

Popped in for a drink first night of our two night break. The team here are fantastic!! They made us (and our dog) feel so welcome that we booked for dinner. Food was excellent and very reasonable. The team once again were absolutely brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble. We would highly recommend coming here and we will definitely be back next time we visit. Thanks guys x

Real old pub with a great feel of a different time. although the beer was good quality, the service could have been a little better.

Great food with Great Service in a great location and will be making more visits, The BEST Steak Pie ever mmmmm

I was in Ely on business and called into the Minster Tavern. I ordered the chicken flatbread on recommendation of the very helpful and delightful manager, I think her name was Lulu! The food was great and fantastically priced. All the staff were great, friendly and made a person from out of town feel warmly welcome. I would highly recommend!

I had a drink there with my friends in the evening, and I have to say that the environment is really noisy, which is suitable for those who are used to bars. If you like to clear the bar or want to chat quietly, it is recommended not to go here. The good thing is that alcohol is relatively cheap.

Really nice food and atmosphere. The sun terrace is spacious, looking down the forest.

Lovely staff and owners are always friendly and welcoming. Nice choice of drinks on draft and cosy atmosphere, especially when the fire is on. Usual clientele are always friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Dear Marston's, I am writing to express my frustration as my previous complaint, submitted almost 3 weeks , has not only gone unacknowledged but remains unresolved. Despite allowing ample time for your team to respond, I have yet to receive any form of acknowledgment or an update on the matter. This lack of communication and resolution is extremely disappointing and has left me feeling disregarded as a customer of over 20 years . I kindly request an immediate response to this issue, as I expect timely action and a satisfactory resolution. Please confirm receipt of this complaint and provide an update on how you plan to address my concerns below is my original complaint Dear Marston's, I am writing to express my utmost disappointment and frustration regarding the treatment my child received recently. On 08/02/25, I was with my child, wife and a group of friends in Ye olde crown in Rayleigh watching the rugby match England V France . We were enjoying the game when, unexpectedly, My wife was abruptly told our 5 year old boy had to leave the premises with only 15 minutes left of the match. When questioned, I was told only he had to leave, you (me) can stay (what am I supposed to do, leave a 5 year old outside while I finish watching the game?) I will admit I did not respond well to being shouted at and I did shout back, what also attributed to my frustration was the response I got when I asked how I could complain. Response being: "I don't know, it's Marstons". I asked if she could find out for me and was told "no, It's Marstons". So, so far there appears to be an issue with duty of care with the poor suggestion that my child could wait outside, a lack of customer service and inability to provide one's employer's contact details to a customer and as to my next point, not aware of the difference between policies & law. I understand that there may be policies in place (myself and my wife have been unable to find these despite searching online - I daren't ask the staff at the pub what they are - or reasons for the decision, but the way in which my child was treated was completely unacceptable. Instead of being approached with respect and provided with an explanation that we would not be able to watch the game in full before it started, he was rudely kicked out without any regard for our experience, our friend's experience or the money we had spent at the pub. As a loyal customer of this pub for over 20 years, I have always appreciated the atmosphere at this establishment. However, this incident has left a sour taste in my mouth and has made me question the level of care and consideration given to customers, especially young patrons. When it advertises itself as a family friendly place. I would also like to bring to your attention a matter of training and development for your staff, as your deputy manager does not understand the difference between company policies and the law. I bring this point to your attention as the confusion between the two, when the deputy manager is telling me it's the law and my child can not be in the premises at this time, which is not accurate, with some simple training so the staff are adequately trained on the difference this situation would have been prevented , I urge you to address this issue promptly and provide a satisfactory explanation for why my child was asked to leave the pub when It was quite clear that we were in to watch the game. I also hope that steps will be taken to ensure that such disrespectful treatment does not happen to any customer in the future. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing back from you soon and hope that we can resolve this issue in a mutually satisfactory manner

Any idea when it will reopen? Miss it the best indian

We had a lovely lunch to celebrate my daughter's birthday. The food was very good and well presented and the service was second to none. The staff were very attentive and made her birthday very special. I had bought a cake as a surprise for her and they couldn't have been more helpful. This was our second visit in the last 3 weeks and we will definitely come again. Thanks everyone

A really lovely GC and restaurant.

We’re regular visitors to the Coach and Horses, sometimes just for a coffee during the day but we also like to eat here in the evenings. We’ve always been made to feel welcome and had friendly and efficient service. The food has been superb, ample portions and delicious. Imaginative menus, not standard pub fare, all credit to the chefs!

Great food and ambience - recommend without a doubt ⭐️
