We asked if the bread/olives was complimentary or if we had to pay. The response from waiter was doesn’t matter we love money. At the end we was charged £56 just for that. What a rip off. The same waiter was also rude to my friend and said are you going to speak and wheres your boyfriend? Very rude. When it came to sorting out the bill my daughter didn't realise it would be so expensive not expecting the steep service charge £58 and bread and olives £56. She had allocated money for what she had. We stepped in to help but the waiter said to her next time bring money. This humiliated her in front of everyone and resulted in her being in tears. This was my birthday meal which ruined it tbh and wasn’t even acknowledged. The written bill was quickly detached and taken away as well so we didn't have a copy of it. Definitely would not recommend or go back .
Have been coming to the Coachouse for many years!
Well another great meal.
I had the calves liver and bacon which was cooked to perfection. Hubby had the fillet steak snd again cooked perfectly.
Staff were great, especially Enzo.
We came with some elderly relatives. They really looked after us. Easy parking very close by. The menu is very varied.
So strange to have a restaurant of this quality in the garden centre carpark but well worth a visit small a bit crowded but it works. Staff very attentive and welcoming and the food was lovely. Hopefully back again soon
Lovely meal. Had set menu which was vlgood value. Food and service was excellent.
Would recommend
Very good dinner, was in a party of 30 every guest complimented on how nice there meals were , served very quick and super professional (never had a bad meal here ) 👍
I have been coming here since 1981 when I was 10 years old.
My father took us and his clients here when Valecci opened and me, the same, 25 years later.
It was my eldest son’s 21st last night and this is where he wanted to come.
3 generations later and still the same classy experience;
The food is exceptional, Enzo and his staff are the best in the business and nothing is too much trouble.
If cost is your priority, this is not your kind of restaurant. If first class food served by exceptionally attentive yet subtle waiters in intimate and personal surroundings is what’s required, come here as you’ll never be disappointed.
My Brother and I took my Mum for her 90th Birthday yesterday and so glad we did. We went for a lunchtime booking and received a very warm welcome from the very attentive staff.
The meals we all chose were absolutely lovely and left us all full up. The monkfish main was a very good choice and well worth it.
This restaurant is not cheap, but for a special meal its a place I would definitely go back to.
The food is amazing. Certainly better than many local restaurants. Service good and very much traditional with veg served by the waiters and toothpicks on the table, a small but valuable thing . Looking forward to returning
Love the ambiance and team at this restaurent, everything is amazing! A few must-try’s: the skate wing, the bolognese, vongole, milanese, and profiteroles. Don’t forget that each (huge) order comes with a selection of sides - come hungry.
Really delicious food and really professional service. So happy we chose to go there.
Really lovely to be so i spoilt only problem was they didn't have lemon sole or Dover sole really disappointing
I opted for pasta which was really awful. Really dry and all I could taste was the chile's In future will phone beforehand to check availability
Food is great & staff are very friendly. Very nice atmosphere but I would say it is slightly overpriced.
Exceptional food and lovely restaurant. Thank you for a delicious NYE meal - the steak and mushroom sauce was incredible! We will be back very soon! 🙂
Very nice Italian! We have passed by a couple when at ruxley Manor and decided to give it a go this evening. Plently of options on the menu and evening more specials. Couldn’t fault the food, probably the best Italian meal I have had outside of Italy. Would definitely go again.
Second visit to this lovely, hidden gem. Delicious home-cooked food; great service; and always a friendly welcome. Only visited in the summer and sat outside in the sunshine and watched the birds.
Lovely birthday evening meal couldn't fault it.
We had our Christmas lunch here. Service was excellent. Lovely Italian food. Set Christmas menu was good value for money although not a traditional menu. The A la Carte menu had various options between £30 and £50 a head for 3 courses, plus drinks, cover and service charge. A little gem of a place for that special occasion. Well worth a visit.
