“ We hired the courtyard for a baby shower as it is just a magical place, I have been here often over the years with my grandchildren for cake and drinks , which we have always enjoyed , so to have the opportunity of being able to have it as a stunning venue was truly amazing , we were allowed to decorate the courtyard , we had courtyard for entertaining and inside was laid out for buffet there was plenty of yummy food , everyone said how delicious it was, at the end boxes were provided if anyone wanted to take home any of the food that was left, quite a few people took advantage which goes to show how plenty full and yummy it was. Thank you to all the staff I loved the fact that it is a family business I initially spoke with Yasmin who was super helpful, I then met with her dad who went through the menu and then her sister who stayed until the end , also thanks to the colleagues and the chef ”
“ We hired the cafe for my Mum's 70th birthday and it was the perfect venue. The staff went over and beyond to accommodate us. The buffet was amazing with both hot and cold food and catered for a gluten free guest. The mixture of outdoor and indoor space meant young ones could run around without getting in the way of older ones. The beautiful surroundings outside and art on the walls inside made it aesthetically wonderful too. The carparking and accessible toilet were also convenient. Thanks so much to the Coach House Cafe for a memorable evening. ”
“ Always a treat to visit the Coach House, whether for a Full English, a Lunch Time treat (especially home made nachos) or to indulge in lovely cakes. The Chef, owner and counter/waitress staff are so lovely too. They go the extra mile to please their customer. My daughter placed a very fussy (OCD) order and they got it spot on. I also love the artwork displayed and for sale and the immediate, open space and lush, green surroundings. Look forward to visiting throughout the coming year. ”
“ Stumbled across this while out for a walk. Arrived about half an hour before closing but no sense of rush. Lady in front of me was getting refill of water in her teapot - a good sign. Very friendly staff. Very nice cake. I sat in the sheltered courtyard, a great place on a sunny but cold as windy winter afternoon. ”
