About This Pub
Oh, let me tell you about The Coach & Horses – it's one of those pubs in Gloucester that just feels like a proper local gem. From the reviews I've seen, the atmosphere is brilliant; it's all about that warm, welcoming vibe where you can relax with a pint and chat away. The beers are fairly priced, which is always a plus, and that massive pub garden is a real highlight – imagine soaking up the sun with a cold one in hand on a nice day. The staff come across as genuinely lovely, and when it's not too mad, everything runs smoothly. But, and I have to be straight with you, it does have its downsides; during big events like rugby matches, the service can slow right down, with some people waiting 20 minutes and ending up heading off without a drink. Still, with an overall rating of 4.2, it's clear most folks have a good time here. If you're popping in, I'd say go for a quieter afternoon or evening to make the most of it, but it's definitely worth checking out for a solid night out.

Came here after the match and managed to get a seat outside, friendly atmosphere
Great experience here, reasonable priced beers and people working here are very nice! Toilets well maintained.
A really nice pub let down by lack of service. It was a rugby game day so it was really busy. But only two members of staff on the bar. We waited 20 mins and ended up leaving without having a drink as wasn't close to being served.
Lived in Gloucester for 22 years and never been to this pub before...well wasn't I missing a trick?!! The music was fab, I danced all night and the landlady was lovely. Thanks for a great evening with my girlfriends..I'll def be visiting again 😍🤩
Lovely pub. We came here for a few drinks before the rugby and really enhoyed ourselves. Everyone was really friendly. The service was quick and beers were a reasonable price. They also have a massive pub garden whichbwas really nice. Cant beat a pub garden with a beer on a sunny afternoon. This is one for checking out. 😁
