New Stars & Awards in the MICHELIN Guide Great Britain & Ireland 2023

"Highlighted by Sarah Hayward being named Young Chef in the 2023 Special Awards." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team

"Set just down the road from its renowned bigger sister, The Hand and Flowers, there is a more relaxed and informal style to The Coach. The menu sets out its stall with headings of 'No Meat', ‘Meat’ and ‘Sweet’; across the board you'll find pub dishes of the highest order, prepared with maximum care and minimal fuss. Whether it's the 'rotisserie of the day' or the treacle tart, the cooking displays a level of understated precision that results in hugely satisfying dishes bursting with punchy flavours. The warm, attentive service comes with a smile." - Michelin Inspector

13 Quiet Patios Because This Is All Still A Bit Much - London - The Infatuation

"When you’re in Clerkenwell and looking for somewhere classy and refined to enjoy London’s 12-hour summer, The Coach is one of the best little patios you can be in. It’s a classy pub, and a decent restaurant, meaning you can continue going drinking in the sun before filling up on some French bistro style food." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak

Where To Eat When You’ve Just Been Paid - London - The Infatuation

"It can be very tempting on payday to fall into the post-work drink trap. What starts as ‘just a couple’ turns into ‘one more you boring sod’ that sloppily evolves into ‘let’s get a bottle’. Dinner can get lost in this good-time haze, but it doesn’t have to be. Just go to a great pub like The Coach. It’s a pub-bistro hybrid, which means it’s the place to start on some bubbly, negronis, or whatever you fancy, and then sidle into the dining room for steak tartare, chips, and creme caramel." - jake missing

Where To Eat When You’re Too Hungry To Decide What To Eat - London - The Infatuation

"‘When in doubt head to the pub’. This is something that, for better or worse, we’ve been told for many years. And once again, it rises above other options. The Coach isn’t any old pub though. This is a pub where you can get a negroni alongside a pint of bitter, plus some of London’s finest chips, and one of its best steak tartares. This is not a normal pub, but that doesn’t mean it lacks all the normal things that make a pub great, it’s just got more. More rooms. More food. More things to like. It’s the perfect call whenever you’re suffering from indecision." - jake missing
