"We had visited a couple of times before around six months ago, a lovely pub with great welcoming atmosphere and lovely smiling staff who couldn’t do enough for you ………. a complete contrast to our latest visit From the moment we arrived the manager barman was Rude and obnoxious it was like our visit was a complete inconvenience to him. As we were already there we put the unfriendly greeting aside and decided to look at the menus and myself and my partner were seated in the dining area…….and then forgotten about, after nearly 20 minutes my partner decided to order the drinks and our choice of two chicken roast dinners at the bar on the way to the toilet, on his return he told me that to get to the toilets you have to pass the kitchen and he could hear the chef shouting and swearing at the waitresses (no wonder they were miserable) we would have left at this point but as the drinks had finally arrived and our meal order was taken we decided we would have to stay. After another 15-20 minutes a waitress came to our table to inform us that the chicken had sold out hours ago and we would have to make another selection no apology at the lack of chicken but this could be forgiven by the way they were mistreated by the chef. So we both chose the beef. It was a long wait for our meals and when they did arrive both were only warm very chewy and not enough gravy by this time we had enough of the horrible experience so we finished what we had and asked for the bill after paying and getting half way home we realised we were overcharged. This used to be a lovely place to come visit on a Sunday drive but now it’s not worth the petrol."

"There needs to be a level of understanding here, as I leave my review for others to read. Pubs have just opened after lock down. There are odd processes to deal with which adds to the challenge. I respect any company that is clearly doing their best. That being said there is still a fair assessment to be made of the meal my wife and I have had at the Coach and Horses in Brixworth. First observation- it appears that a lot of the meal we ate, including dessert was heavily reliant on a microwave!I had the duck with egg fried rice. Very tasty, the sauce wasn’t too strong and went well with the duck. The rice was freshly prepared and was nice. Wife’s chicken pie was microwave fresh but tasty. The chips were perfect as you would expect from a good pub. For dessert I had the lemon meringue pie. Pretty awful. The lemon element was claggy and tasted pretty horrible. Struck me as a packet bought pie and tasted like one too. Shame. Wife had spotted dick with custard. Again, fresh from the microwave and was heated to within an inch of its life. Was ok. Service was great. Wasn’t busy but the staff were still very attentive and friendly. I’ve eaten here before, and the food has been previously very good. I put this experience down to ramp up problems and I’ll be straight- I don’t care. They are open and serving people and I won’t hold any of my criticisms against them. I’m certain things will get back in track in time and I take my hat off to them for keeping things going. At the end of the meal the staff asked if everything was ok and I said it was. I stand by this and this review is just a fair review, it’s not a complaint and we will be back."
