The Coach and Horses Banbury — Restaurant in Cherwell District

In need of some proper British pub food, I and 2 friends patronized this place this evening and it did not disappoint! Albeit it was early in the evening it was quiet, which was what we wanted. Staff is super friendly, attentive, and just well really cool people.

My steak n ale pie was on point, just what I was looking for, and my mates' meals' looked equally good.

At the end, they even honored a discount that had been expired for quite some time (so long they didn't even remember it was a thing). They didn't have to do that, but did, so that's a huge thanks from me on that one.

Food, excellent Service, superb Atmosphere, great. Intangibles, well amazing.

In town only a short time, so lots of other places to explore, but given the chance, I'd definitely hit this...

I’m sorry to the barman who apologised on his behalf but your colleague really needs to work on his people skills. If you don’t want children in your pub there are polite ways to say so. You need customers more than...

I think this is the first time Jorvic and Paulicarus have had a pint of Hooky bitter from Hook Norton brewery. It is a while since I've drunk it. One of the few long standing family brewers left in the UK. Good sunny rear beer garden. Open plan interior. The rear part of the room is cosier. Full range of their beers. Pint of Hooky and a pint of Madri £10.95. I think food only available Sunday. Sunday roast £13, served 12 - 4. Lots of live music. Toilets upstairs but accessible one down at end of bar. In Good Beer Guide and a Cask Marque. I suspect I would have preferred the ambience of the old...
