"Before I start I 'd like to say I have eaten at the Coach Horses a number of times before and had always enjoyed their food but had not tried their Sunday lunch. Unfortunately, on Sunday 2nd May we chose to try it for the first time, and definitely the last. I 'm generally fairly forgiving with food and it doesn 't have to be top notch to satisfy me, but it does have to be decent and edible. I chose the roast sirloin of beef. I was presented with a large plate containing two slices of meat with a Yorkshire pudding, mash, Roast potatoes, roast parsnips, carrots and cabbage, with plenty of gravy (which I usually don 't get enough of but there was plenty here). Looking at the plate, it seemed like this would be an enjoyable dinner. As I started to (try to) cut one of the slices of beef, it became evident that under the gravy these slices of beef were riddled with gristle and fat. The meat was difficult to cut and after separating the meat form the gristle, there was probably only about half left. However, the meat that was left was extremely chewy and tough. I tried to persevere with it but had to eventually give up and left about a quarter of it with the pile of offcuts already on the side of my plate. But this isn 't the end of my bad experience. The parsnips were so undercooked I couldn 't get my knife through them so they were basically inedible. The roast potatoes were nice and crispy, but on eating them it became obvious the kitchen had cheated somewhat and deep fried them to make them crispy I reckon. You could taste the fat which gets soaked up in the deep frying process (I apologise to the kitchen if I 'm wrong but this is how they seemed). The Yorkshire pudding was lovely and the rest of the veg was ok, bit overall this was the most disappointing Sunday lunch I think I 've ever had. When the waitress asked how our meal was, I was honest and said it was disappointing, explaining that the beef was extremely tough and far too gristly and chewy. She said she was sorry and scuttled off I assumed to the kitchen. She didn 't re-appear though, and about 5 minutes later another waitress asked if we would like anything else. We were on our way somewhere and had cake to deliver which we knew we would be served a slice of, so we declined sweet and asked for the bill, which was duly delivered with no offering of explanation, apology or disappointment consolation discount. I wasn 't looking for anything to be knocked off the bill, but it seems that they didn 't know how to handle even a polite complaint like this one. Customers won 't come back without some recognition of their dissatisfaction. Even offering some consolation like would you like a pudding or coffee on us , even though we would not have taken it up, it would have been enough to satisfy that our dining disappointment had been acknowledged. Sorry Coach Horses, you’ve lost a couple of customers here, I don’t think we’ll be back again."

Very good value and a good menu that catered for all our tastes. The service was friendly and efficient. The food was great and we went back a second time in the same week.

This is a fantastic pub restaurant anyway, and with the closures forced by the corona virus they are carrying on with take outs. Tonight we collected scamp, chips mushy peas and steak kidney pie, chips, peas and gravy. It was FANTASTIC! great food, packaged well and piping hot and all collected safely and within safety guidelines. Please support a great local business in these tough uncertain times if you can.

Went for breakfast and if carlsberg did breakfasts then they would definitely be dining at the coach and horses. We booked our slot for 10am. We were created by billy and due to my disability he changed our table to accommodate. We were served with either tea and coffee and toast, we ordered the full English, we were not disappointed, hot and very tasty, will definitely be returning , thank you to Les and anthea and the team. Great friendly service. Visualizza piatti

In this day and age, I was very surprised to find no mention of special diets on your menu, despite the law requiring this to be mandatory. The chef offered to make a main course gluten-free but there was no dessert available at all. As a clinically diagnosed Coeliac, there is no cure. The only option is to eat a gluten free diet. It is not a choice and it is essential to my health. Sadly, my visit was reminiscent of when I was diagnosed 23 years ago, when there was less awareness of the condition. Incidentally, it is Coeliac Awareness Week from 9-15 May!

I have visited The Coach and Horses twice, both earlier this year before lockdown. Both times I left staggered at how poor the food was. The pub itself is dated, tired and several years overdue at least a thorough redecoration. It has an awkward layout meaning we had to squeeze past drinkers at the bar in order to get to the dining area. The dining area smelt of old dogs. The first time i went with my wife for lunch. I ordered the steak sandwich whilst she asked for a basic omelette. The steak tasted like it had been cooked for a week and astonishingly they had managed to undercook the omelette. Despite that experience we returned with our kids a few weeks later out of desperation as we didn...

There needs to be a level of understanding here, as I leave my review for others to read. Pubs have just opened after lock down. There are odd processes to deal with which adds to the challenge. I respect any company that is clearly doing their best. That being said there is still a fair assessment to be made of the meal my wife and I have had at the Coach and Horses in Brixworth. First observation- it appears that a lot of the meal we ate, including dessert was heavily reliant on a microwave!I had the duck with egg fried rice. Very tasty, the sauce wasn’t too strong and went well with the duck. The rice was freshly prepared and was nice. Wife’s chicken pie was microwave fresh but tasty. The...
