I struggled to get my frail father out of the car ready for his lunch and the venue wasn't even open. I called the number on the site twice and failed to get a response.

A bit disappointing really. It was cold, the place lacked atmosphere and the barman (the only person serving) seemed more interested in re-stocking the bar. That said the food was very nice (although they had run out of the fish pie) although about £2 or £3 more per dish than similar establishments that we visit. I wouldn’t avoid but I wouldn’t rush back.

Our first visit to ‘The Old Coach and Horses’ was pleasing; the decor was very pleasant and staff were warm, friendly and welcoming. There was a good selection of dishes to choose from which were not overpriced and as I do not have a large appetite, chose two starters for my meal and a dessert whilst hubby chose a starter and a main. Portion sizes were just right. Staff were very thoughtful which I really appreciated, checking that I was not a vegetarian as the pea soup was cooked with a ham hock stock. Food was well cooked. Hubby had a seafood cocktail and fish pie which he thoroughly enjoyed. My main disappointment was that my meal started with olives which were of poor quality and not fresh and I could not eat them. Although I am not a vegetarian, I enjoy vegetarian food and found the ham hock stock totally overpowered the pea soup and personally would have much preferred a vegetable stock base. It would have been more accurate to have called the soup ‘ham with pea soup’!! The prawn starter on the other hand, which I had for my main, arrived in a clay dish and were large King prawns, of excellent quality and sizzlingly hot. They were delicious as was my plum crumble. Overall a very pleasant evening for someone with high standards, which would have been described as excellent if it had not been for my criticisms.

staff very good. Range of cask beer very disappointing. food was ok. steaks small and over-cooked. excellent seabass though. generous portions with some really nice roasted new potatoes rather overwhelmed by soy sauce reduction. very dog friendly which is a huge plus! More a restaurant with a small bar than a pub doing food.

All seemed well when we arrived. Sat down at our table, where we were asked within minutes if we were ready to order. Had abit of a wait for the starters. But then had an hours wait for a mains. No one came to explain to us what was going on, I went down stairs was assured it would be ready in 5-10mins. Another 20minutes later food arrived. Really standard food, potatoes rock solid, hard carrots and a burnt Yorkshire pudding. The meat was okay though nothing to write home about. No one came to check how the meal was. Just got the bill and left. The garden and pub itself are nice. But service and food is poor.

~There was a very large funeral group at the pub, who had clearly been there a while and seemed to have been pre-booked. The noise level was very high and in my view the pub should not have taken our reservation given that they knew the funeral party would be there.

We really loved the place. We were in a bit of a rush but were served well in time and with much graciousness. The staff were very friendly, as were the other patrons AND they serve Asahi on tap - which for me is as great a recommendation as anything.
