The Coach & Horses — Restaurant in Norwich

I love this pub and have been coming here for years. Four of us visited again for food a few weeks ago as its a great place to stop before/after going to the theatre.

The tapas are really tasty with a selection of food to suit everyone and are good value. Unfortunately the reason this visit only gets 3 stars is as follows:

The bar service was really slow, all diners were put in the back side of the pub which was dark and cold, yet the side by the windows which was warmer and brighter (and also makes the place look more attractive seeing people eating in the window), was empty.

Lastly my mum got some chewing gum stuck on the arm of her coat when she had folded it over her chair. Yes this might have only been put there, but when we left and told the bar lady, she didn't look interested or concerned at all and didn't offer any help to my mum to try and get it off or indicate that action would be taken to remove it on the chair. Just put a downer on the whole experience really as my mum couldn't wear the coat and had to get it dry cleaned. I will be back and will update my review again, but on this occasion we were...

I’ve always enjoyed coming to this pub for drinks. However, I made the mistake of trying their Sunday roast, and I was extremely disappointed.

First off, the peas were uncooked and crunchy—almost as if they had just been defrosted and put on the plate. The Yorkshire pudding was flat, burnt, and unappetising. Honestly, I was shocked the chef thought it was acceptable to serve it like that. Considering how cheap and easy to serve a Yorkshire pudding right! That Yorkshire pudding tells a lot about the kitchen on its own.

The meat portion was small, and to make matters worse, it was overcooked to the point of being dry and tough. A roast dinner is supposed to be hearty and comforting, but this was anything but.

I’d still recommend this place for its drinks and ambiance, but I won’t be ordering food here again. If they can’t get a basic Sunday roast right, I don’t have much confidence in the rest...

Very friendly pub with great atmosphere, the decor completes this pub with open brick walls and oak beams, also Victorian seating booths all original make this place homely and welcomr. The staff are always great and ready to chat whilst serving great porters and lagers or placing an order for a selection of their amazing tapas dishes. The beer garden is flanked by tall Georgian town houses with ample seating and rain cover. A bar billiards table is set up in the back room and for 50p you can have hours of fun. The Coach and Horses is perfectly situated on bethel street 3 minutes walk from the city centre or chapelfield shopping centre and gardens. There is no onsite parking however there are ample car parks a mere spitting distance from the pub reasonably priced. Reservations can be made for group bookings and events such as Christmas or Birthdays or weddings. Be sure to visit when...
