| After walking past this place to drink elsewhere for nigh on ten years, under the previous owners, I started going back there about once a week when Deben Inns took over. As the previous comment states it's been tastefully re-furbished with a youngish, friendly team of bar staff. Adnams is the house ale but there's usually one or two guest beers alongside. Food oriented, particularly early evenings, but not so much so that you can't just enjoy a drink. I'm pleased that this pub has recovered from it's previous dire mismanagement.

| With regard to sgt101 comments of 25 June - You are absolutely right! This pub is now known simply The Coach & Horses. It has been completely, and tastefully I might add, refurbished from top to bottom. It now belongs to the well known family owned Deben Inns Ltd. They own several other pubs locally (Wilford Bridge, Plough & Sail, Maybush, Fox Inn & Butt & Oyster). We have visited and eaten in all these pubs and the result is the same in each of them - great food, great beer and excellent serviced. We are so happy that the new Coach & Horses is back in business. We visited a few days after it's opening and it was excellent - a few "glitches" which is to be expected with a new opening, but having returned twice since then all has been smoothed out. The fact that Deben Inns seems to fill their tables while some other pubs struggle and only be attributed to the quality of food, drink and service. No, I'm not associated with them in any way - just a local lover of fine ale and food. onokek - 7 Aug 2011 17:33 |
| All those reading these reviews should note that the Coach and Horses closed for some months after repossession (according to the signs on the door) in the Spring of 2011 and currently (June 2011) being refurbished extensively (to judge from the vans, skips and work people coming and going). So - I think that all previous reviews can be disregarded. sgt101 - 25 Jun 2011 20:51 |
| Well I use this establishment around 5 times a year at lunch times taking professional people who visit our Company. I have never experienced a bad meal yet and in fact our visitors from mainly overseas have been very impressed. The beer is excellent and yes there is something slightly "Fawly Towerish" about the service but it just adds to the occasion. Chris (the Chef) is without doubt the best in the area and I can vouch for food being fresh in the main. In fact he will cater for parties where he will cook it in front of you. I simply can't relate to the previous comments but maybe it is different in the evening although some of my colleagues have taken family there and never any complaints. Kilrail - 18 Nov 2010 20:11 |
| My god what an awful place to waste a valuble evening out. No atmosphere, No People, no staff, Just some cantankarous old bat and her sidekick. Over 300 dishes all freshly cooked? Hmm, 1st sign that things are not what they seem. Again with other posters the food we had was truly inedible, both had a curry, it was salty and oiley to high heaven. Whatever you do don't complain as the old trout takes it so personally, and had the cheek to say "no one else complains" to which i replied "no one else comes here by the look of it" Horrible night, Horrible food, Horrible owners and a great shame as it is in a nice location. If Ramsey went there he would last 5 minutes with those two pigs of people. They need to hang up their aprons and beer mats and head of into the sunset. Along with the ten ton of salt they have. blueboy5 - 6 Oct 2010 15:46 |
