   We had a pleasant meal but there was a party going on and clearly lots of new staff members that didn’t know what they were doing. We hoped to stay longer but found the environment quite chaotic.

   Lovely place. Their 2 for one steak night was amazing. We both had fillet steak. Excellent quality, very good portion size and the accompaniments tasted delicious too. All for only £30 the two! Absolute bargain. Friendly, efficient service too. Highly recommend. Well done all and thank you 😊

    Even though our booking on Open Table hadn't gone through to their system, we were still given a warm welcome and found a table. The food and drink were excellent. The service was friendly and efficient. I wish it was my local!

    Lovely quaint gastropub emanating history and atmosphere. Great welcome and more than dog friendly! 'Harry' our happy springer was made a huge fuss of and loved his experience! Food was excellent and even the drinks were served in traditional glasses which we loved. Definitely more return visits planned.

    Food was great, especially the roast - I had the Romney Marsh lamb which was succulent and tender. Only minor quibbles: no Parmesan for the pasta and only mint sauce, not mint jelly.

    Lovely late lunch/ early dinner with my two boys. Great steaks for the men (love the roasted tomatoes) and my Pad Thai was really good. Puddings disappeared fast . (And rather moreish cocktails ! ) Thank you. I’ll remember again for return route from Canterbury.

    Great ambience and a superb seafood platter. Service from Isla was exemplary, many thanks. I mistakenly overpaid and Pete flagged me down as I was driving away to return the excess to me.; very nice gesture. Altogether an extremely enjoyable evening.

    We were given a very warm welcome and seated at our table exactly on time. The staff had kindly put decorations up next to our table as we were celebrating my husband's 50th birthday. I had messaged in advance to see if there were any little embellishments that they could provide. The drinks were delivered quickly, and there was a very good selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks to choose from. Our Sunday roast was delicious, generously portioned, and presented very well. We would definitely recommend The Old Coach & Horses.

    The Old Coach and HorsesResponded on 9 March 2022Good morning Claire. Thank you very much for your kind review. I look forward to seeing you again in the future.

    Despite confirming Open Table reservation, when we turned up the pub had decided to not serve food because it was quiet so we had to find somewhere else at short notice. No message sent in advance.

    So, I was going to spend Christmas alone in Canterbury and wanted to have a Christmas Dinner. The only place I could see that was offering a festive menu was the Old Coach and Horses and this would be on Christmas Eve rather than Christmas Day. I booked a table for 1 for Christmas Eve. I walked to the pub on Christmas Eve, sat down and ordered a drink. When I asked for the festive menu I was told that it wasn't available as you needed to book that in advance and pay a deposit. I said I booked via Opentable and this wasn't mentioned when booking. I spoke to the landlord and he said this was an issue with Opentable. I was left speechless. It's clearly an issue with the pub not Opentable. I paid for the drink and left. I'd sooner go hungry (which I did) rather than give this place any of my money.

    The Old Coach and HorsesResponded on 25 December 2021Thank you for you comment, I appreciate all customer feedback. No, it doesn't say you have to pre book the festive menu on Open Table but it actually doesn't mention the festive menu at all. However, if you had looked on Facebook, Instagram or our Website, it does state that "Pre order is essential & £5pp deposit". You did not speak to me, the landlord, in fact you did not even ask to speak to a member of my management team, you spoke to my barman instead. We tried to rectify this and offered you our normal menu which you ordered from and subsequently cancelled after it had been made. Although you were disappointed on the evening we hope you have a very Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year. All the best.
