The Coach & Horses, Exclusive Hire

We had a wonderful lunch experience at The Coach. The staff were incredibly kind and accommodating, especially for waiting for us until 2:45 pm, and the kitchen team was extremely helpful and flexible. The restaurant manager suggested some of the most iconic dishes from the menu, allowing us to taste and share the very best of what the kitchen has to offer. Each recommendation was thoughtful and made the experience even more enjoyable. The wine and beer selection is not extensive, but it is carefully chosen and of good quality. For those looking for a refined yet light lunch break, I would highly recommend The Coach. A truly welcoming atmosphere, excellent service, and memorable cuisine.

We enjoyed our meal but having eaten at the H&F it’s obvious the difference an additional star brings. The food is still very enjoyable, but the fact it’s served, “tapas”, style feels a little more like an excuse than a style choice. It’s not easy to eat one’s meal while others in your party are waiting & still could be by the time you finish, which is, in my opinion, rude. The restaurant is quite cramped & has a booth style seating arrangement which adds to the already claustrophobic feeling one feels when arriving. The Restaurant is also without AC, allegedly due to the building being listed but this is unlikely given the beer chiller mounted on the courtyard wall. The front of house staff were brilliant, so friendly & accommodating & seemed to be having fun. We would return, but probably in the cooler months.
