I hired the Stable room for my 40th birthday and I cannot stress enough how fantastic the night was thanks to the gorgeous venue and amazing staff!
From my first contact with Sam and his team via email, with various questions from me, they were always quick to respond and really really accommodating.
The room is such an amazing space, decorated tastefully, with its own bar and gorgeous lighting. It really is a real gem for private space in the area. I hired a musician to play some live music and it was perfect in the space. (Marc Oliver)
The pubs garden also has such a lovely vibe with its lights and little huts and the fact that it's absolutely ginormous.
On the evening, Nicky was a complete Queen serving behind the bar and kept us all topped up (sorry for the increasing tipsyness and questionable choice in my music Nicky! Legend!)
As for Sam, what an absolute hero. Unbeknown to me my friend had organised for a Mary Poppins tribute actress to pop by for a surprise visit, complete with carpet bag, parrot umbrella and a song sheet 🤣🤣 Sam and his team apparently ensured she had space to change in and I think were on hand to make sure I didn't clock Mary early 🤣
It was a 'practically perfect' night, and wouldn't have been anywhere near half as good if I hadn't had the party at the Coach and Horses.
Everybody raved about the room and staff and we will definitely be back for our next celebration!
Thank you so much guys, you're...
Read moreThey served burnt food after waiting 50 minutes and the replacement food was served raw and this was done on purpose so that we would leave the pub. I only told the Landlady that is was disgraceful to be served burnt food after waiting that long and that I had taken my elderly mother out for something to eat whilst shopping. She was rude and ignored us and said I have served you a Replacement. I said it was not cooked, the dough on the pastry was soggy and raw. She said you only ordered a bar snack. What does it matter what I ordered, the fact the 1st one was burnt and rock hard after waiting 50 minutes, the 2nd pasty was served raw. I could have had food poisoning. I have never been treated so badly in a pub in my life. Just because the Landlady runs a pub in Barnes she thinks it is OK to treat customers this way. Just because we are not spending lots of money on drinks and food. The bar staff even lied when I asked what Brewery ran the pub. I was thoroughly upset and am horrified by the terrible time and experience I had with my mother who is very elderly. The Landlady is rude, extremely bad manners and employs staff who can't cook. She should be ashamed of herself for the way she dealt with me and serving me a pastry item raw just so we would leave the pub. I have a right to complain and feel I have every right to write this bad review. That she...
Read moreOur experience at the Coach & Horses was regrettably subpar.
My dear friend, visiting from Canada, and I found ourselves at the Coach & Horses just after 10 p.m. on Sunday evening, having come directly from a delightful screening at Olympic Studios. We were in search of a final drink before parting ways and, as per Google Maps, were pleased to discover that the establishment was purportedly open until 11 p.m.
However, scarcely three minutes after our drinks had been ordered, a rather brusque waitress approached and informed us that we had no more than 15 minutes to finish, as the pub would be closing imminently. This was perplexing, given that the listed hours clearly stated an 11 p.m. closing time. My friend, quite understandably puzzled, rechecked the hours, confirming that we were indeed not mistaken.
To make matters worse, the waitress then proceeded to patrol the pub area, casting repeated glances in our direction as though we were unwelcome guests overstaying our welcome. The entire experience was rather unseemly and most disappointing.
It is my sincere hope that the management might consider employing staff who are better acquainted with both the nature of their role and the actual hours during which the establishment is supposed to operate. A little more grace and decorum in service would...
