Probably the best pub in London (definitelty top 3). My only feedback would be that they need a wider selection of Ales on tap. Any chance you could get summer lightning or Discovery on for the summer months?

A great, great, great place to watch live sport.

**Final Update - I promise!**

Had a very nice email from Steve the landlord at the Coach and Horses. I think i was a bit sweeping with my review earlier! The Coach has still retained much of it’s charm. I guess i am just one of those people that doesn’t like change. As Steve rightly says, “where the bookshelves were we now have twin vintage iron candleabras and there was always plasma tvs downstairs”. I’ll definitely see the Coach and Horses as my Clapham local and Steve’s email reiterates that this is a friendly, social pub and probably the finest in Clapham.

Where everybody knows your name… The Coach and Horses is a fantastic pub and i’m proud to call it my local. It’s a great venue for watching live sport (particularly rugby) and in the summer they have Waggledance, Adnams and Discovery on tap.

Great pub food (2 for 1 burgers on a tuesday night) and lots of friendly faces behind the bar. Oh, and say hello to the eighty year old who sits by the door - he’s been coming every day for 40 years and has some crazy stories…

This is a cozy little pub with a comfortable setting and laid back vibe. The music is fairly non intrusive with nothing unexpected or abrasive being churned out. The bar and waiting staff were cheerful.

They definitely draw crowds in for sports events, be it football, rugby, cricket or whatever else is on. I’ll let you decide on whether thats a good or a bad thing!

*It used to be 2 for 1 on burgers every Monday, which I seem to remember being tasty.

This pub is really friendly and even the monthly pub quiz creates a bit of friendly banter between regulars and newcomers.
The food is very good although the kitchen has some fairly odd opening hours on the weekend. There are standard burgers (2 for 1 on Mondays) but also quite nice platters and olivey-nibbley things.
Staff are usually friendly although when it is busy sometimes they struggle to cope.
All in all it's a great local - if I had to make any improvements they would be: don't start new staff on a busy night, keep kitchen open all day Saturdays, have a proper quiz every week and stop aiming the quiz questions at people born in the 50s!

I love this place. Have spent many happy times in The Coach. This often involves going in for lunch, looking up and wondering why it's dark outside and realising I've been in there for hours.

Good for live sports. Will usually get rammed with annoying antipodeans if a southern hemisphere team's playing but if you can bag yourself a table then settle in for the duration and enjoy yourself.

Happy Days.
