This is a bright red-painted corner pub in Soho, just round the corner from Cambridge Circus. They had two real ales on – London Pride (of course) and an ale from Sambrook’s Brewery “brewed in the heart of London”. The Clip said “Wandle” so maybe that was what is was called, or maybe the brewery is located on the Wandle. Anyway, it tasted excellent, but at a top of the range price of £3.30 a pint. They also had a cider and perry on tap – Weston’s Old Rosie and County Perry. The pub itself was surprisingly quiet at around 1.00 on a Saturday afternoon, with only me inside and three or four punters outside. But it filled up a bit, with the number of customers getting into double figures.

The pub retains the vestiges of its multi room history with some surviving screens, but without the intersecting doors. It looks like an inter-war interior to me. The bar and panelling certainly look original. I realise that at another time it could be a very different pub, but I found it to be a quiet(ish) and welcome respite from the hordes usually seen in this part of London.

Dead, haunted and utterly depressing...actutely passe and truly "over"..and that is being painfully kind. One for the touristo hordes at best. Zzzzzzzzzz.

Expensive pub in the hustle and bustle of Soho, that has it's charms (pannelling containing the logos of several long-since defunct beers), but which is ultimately not worth the extra expenditure. Beer selection was somewhat limited, and not all of those were on. Quality was middling at best. Bar service not as bad as previous posters encountered, but a little disinterested.
The problem with this pub is that it tries hard to look like a little time warp pub of what a nice cheap local boozer looked like about 25 years ago, but instead it isn't very charming and is severely overpriced. A wolf in sheeps clothing if you will.
Plenty of other, better pubs nearby, don't visit here over any of those.

I love the Coach and Horses but I can't stand the staff, on the whole, they are sullen, rude, have no idea what you're asking for (even when it's completely visible behind the bar, which, one presumes, they might know fairly well)....today I went in and asked for tea, only to have the piss taken out of me in front of me by the bitchy teenage staff. I am a regular and usually order Ricard anyway, not that it matters.

Not particularly enticing, much as I love the place itself. Unless you like being insulted or treated like an idiot, BY an idiot.
