Another Greenwich INC takeover, they don’t seem to have wreaked The Coach and Horses as much as other pubs in the area. (The Cricketers for example) but the leather sofas, flowers on every table and modern fire place don’t sit that well to me.
Beer was quite good, but as I don’t remember what was on now, can’t have been anything special.
Large, heated outside area, under the market roof, which is good for our smoking friends.

Decent enough pub. Full of wanky types talking too loudly about their most recent 'acquisition' or some such though.
Nice sofa. Tiny wooden chairs.
5 out of 10

The coach has been under new ownership for a few months and as a regular feared it would be gutted. However it hasn't, the prices are still similar the staff are the same, and myself and the other locals are still welcome. I think there has been a lot of scare mongering about the prospect of INC taking over the coach which hasn't materilised. It annoys me when people make assumptions and instantly dismis changes. I think anyone who knows the pub will see that it still has the same offerings.

A very pleasant pub - one of my favourites in Greenwich. Now taken over by Greenwich Inc so expect to see the bar staff changed, prices go up and atmosphere and service go down. Interestingly,I have it on good authority that it is a policy of Greenwich Inc to discourage 'locals' - always a great policy for a small town like Greenwich!

Nice pub, good location. Not going to win any awards and I daren't say that people will spend the night there. Outside seating is a good idea, but you do have to suffer the constant stream of halfwits on their way to the Hardy.

Oh god!!!!! yet another pub stuffed up by 'greenwich inc'! when will they stop ? you are destroying greenwich!

Not a lot of differences between this place and the Admiral Hardy. I found the staff to be quite pleasant and beers well kept.
|
Over-priced and not a nice crowd. This pub is more for older people, who don't want the studenty, and equally pretentious atmosphere of the Admiral Hardy.

This is one of two pubs in Greenwich market, the other being the Admiral Hardy. Neither are particularly pleasant places to have a drink while in Greenwich-especially in summer. The outside seating area is dark and dingey and the bar staff, when I was last in there, had a shocking attitude problem. I agree with the earlier comment that this place is trying too hard to be something it's not and comes off just being pretentious. Food is quite nice I suppose but is extremely pricey for what it is.

Good food, good location, good beers. Kicks the Admiral Hardy into touch on the "best pub in the market" stakes.

A pleasant pub in the Greenwich market. Not much space inside but plenty of seating outside. The main drawback is the noise if you happen to be there when they are taking tha maret stalls down

Pleasant enough boozer, perfectly passable ales, and always manages the trick of feeling lively without being too crowded. On the rare occasions I venture south of the river for a beer I nearly always pass through this place.

Great pub. Normally go in there after several hours of shopping. Great if you can get the leather sofa :) Barmaids are nice. After spending loads on cds etc in the market, i'm not really bothered about how much a pint costs.

This pub is great after walking round the market on a Sunday afternoon. They serve great roasts. Prices are really good too considering it is in the heart of Greenwich. Went in here on a Saturday night after all other local pubs were packed (Hardy, Gypsy Moth, Musee) and it was nice and quiet - not too quiet but not full of Eltham geezers/chavs. Nice and relaxed. Really like the decor too! Unlike that place round the corner Lawrence Louellen designed - eeek! I agree with the previous post (Tina I think) - Northern guy behind the bar is TOO buff! Main reason I go in there. So attractive. Do they serve Grolsch though? That's the question! I'll let you know! CB x

Used to love this pub when I lived in the area. One general comment (about most pub's in Egnland really) is that the day after returning from France, where I ate a fantastic 5 course meal with 1/4 litre of wine for £8, I came here and had a lamb burger for £7.50 plus nigh on £3 for a pint. Still, you live in London, you pay the price!

Nice little pub inthe heart of the market...

Poppd in for a couple, comfy leather sofa, well groomed olds were enjoying the grub and there's an open fire. Had a couple of glasses of a wheat beer which was kinda tasty - a pleasent stop off. Almost too clean to be a pub.
|
Fantastic food - pricey yeah, but good for a treat; its all rich and fresh and local. Small so can be hard to get a seat although the outside bit is always open so there's benches - they have heaters on in winter etc etc. Basically nice but expensive. A typical postgrads' pub

Went in there on a Saturday night trying to avoid the mayhem of Greenwich & to my surprise it was really nice & cozy, with a real fire. Homely feeling.

Situated on one of the corners in the heart of Greenwich's under cover market this boozer benefits from it's charming location. Anywhere else the this pub would be nothing but average.
Good for: Watching the world go by.

Decent local, friendly staff; crucially, they know how to pour a pint of Guinness and make G&Ts properly.

nice scallops a bit pricy for pub food but worth the splurg on occasion. the lamb burger is yummy too and doesn't break the bank. if you are lucky enough to go on a weekday you will find that it is rather romantic and quiet!!

tries too hard to be lah-di-dah, looks like it's been plucked out of a posh bit of Islington and plonked in Greenwich market.

Smallish pub in the market. Does good (if a little expensive) food and has a friendly atmosphere.
