The Coach Horses - London

Very happy to call the Coach and Horses my local. Brilliant pub, love everything about it!. Great beers, food, traditional/modern vibe at the same time, excellent beer garden. The area is blessed with some decent pubs and this is the best

Really nice pub with hard working staff and a nice friendly vibe but I do think the food is a bit overpriced £18 for a pretty basic roast. Either make it cheaper or make it more of a feast). And the vegan Wellington is really poor just puff pastry filled with some pretty limp veggies. With vegan wellingtons, really needs a substantial filling otherwise it’s just a soggy mush! Please make better and we’ll be back every week

What can I say. Thank you Tom and your staff for such a lovely welcome for a funeral tea. Your help with then menu and your amazing staff producing such wonderful food all cooked fresh and hot. Your bar staff so kind and understanding. Been a long time since I have been in Leyton but when I am I will pay a visit to the Coach Horses. Thank you to all. XXX

Second visit now... another yummy Sunday roast. Large portions, tasty, well seasoned meats... perfectly cooked vegetables... Incredible selection, we were served, roasted sweet carrots, roasted parsnips, sweet red cabbage, broccoli stems and huge roasted potatoes. Lots of seating areas, outside, inside. Back and front of pub. Clean, well kept. Staff all incredibly helpful and friendly. Very highly recommended.

Booked a table for Sunday lunch, arrived to a small table by the toilets. Half the pub is jolly families out for lunch, the other half is dead eyed old geezers staring into an afternoon pint. We were in the old geezer half. We ordered roast lamb £17 each) and then waited, and waited... and waited. We gave it about an hour before asking when our food would arrive, the stressed waiter explained that they were very busy but that it wouldn't be long. We waited another 45 mins before asking again at the bar no one updated us as to what was going on). The lady behind the bar said that our food would be 6 minutes... While we waited for another 15 minutes someone on the table next to us was making a complaint about the portions being very small and the food not being good. The waiting staff didn't know what to say to her. Alarm bells were ringing that when our food arrived it was not going to be good. When the plates eventually turned up they were very small portions, a single piece of meat and a small pile of vegetables. A normal sized Yorkshire pudding was about 3/4 of the total meal. We decided that we had reached the end of our patience and decided to reject the food and leave the pub, thankfully we hadn't paid yet and so didn't have to go through the fuss of a refund. The staff were apologetic once we decided to leave, but it was too little too late. I felt sorry for them because management had obviously hung them out to dry with not enough staff and not enough food to go round.
