A cozy local pub with strong Sunday lunches, friendly service, and good-value food; best for casual meals, drinks, and dog-friendly stops rather than fine dining.
Coach House earns a solid A- grade on the strength of reliable food quality and genuinely welcoming service that keeps locals returning. The kitchen executes pub classics and Sunday roasts with consistency, while attentive staff create a personable atmosphere. The cozy setting and strong value proposition support the grade, though the experience remains comfortably traditional rather than approaching grade A distinction.
Coach House comes across as a warmly lived-in local pub rather than a destination restaurant: cozy decor, a fireplace, a sun-trap beer garden, and a steady stream of people praising the welcome. One reviewer summed up the mood nicely: a proper pub with friendly staff, a good pint, and a place that just feels easy to settle into. The cooking is classic British pub fare, with Sunday roasts, gammon and chips, afternoon tea, and straightforward beer-friendly plates doing most of the heavy lifting. This is comfort-food territory: not flashy, not experimental, but the kind of kitchen that wins points by serving generous portions, keeping prices sensible, and getting the basics right often enough that people travel back for more. Families should do fine here if they’re happy with pub food rather than a kids’ menu full of bells and whistles. Reviews suggest familiar, kid-friendly options like roast dinner components, chips, gammon, and afternoon tea; however, there’s no evidence of a dedicated children’s menu, so picky eaters may depend on what’s on offer that day.

Their Sunday roast is the standout, plus hearty pub staples like gammon and a good pint.
Casual pub attire is fine, reservations aren’t needed, but Sunday roast can mean a wait and vegetarian options may sell out.
A cosy, lived-in pub with a fireplace, beer garden, and a welcoming local vibe.
