It's that cracker-pulling time of year

Christmas in Barnes

Best grab that corp-card time of year

It's officially bottle-popping season

It's that let's-get-a-magnum time of year

Whether you’re prepping for the legendary office Christmas bash or a cosy, family get-together before the big day, we are officially the ultimate cosy – wonky pub in Barnes to celebrate this festive season (we’ve being doing Christmas since 1831 so we know a thing or two about a party)! Our mouthwatering, joy-filled festive menus (trust us, they’re perfect for all your holiday shindigs) are designed to delight even the pickiest eaters.

With our twinkling, covered, and heated pub garden hosting the best events in all of South West (humble brag), we’ve got a spot for you that’s just perfect for those chilly winter nights. Plus, our beautifully decorated Christmas tree (it’s kind of a big deal) creates the ideal backdrop for sipping mulled wine with your favourite faces. Just let us know your preferred date, and our merry band of Christmas elves (that’s Connor btw, what a guy) will take care of all the details (not to brag, but we can really do it all), ensuring a magical, stress-free experience for you and your guests.

The Stables

The Stables is a wonderfully tucked-away, all-purpose space (honestly, it’s a bit of a hidden gem), nestled right off the garden at the back of the terrace. It’s the ideal spot for all your festive occasions – whether you’re after an intimate, private dining experience with our delicious three-course festive feast (because who can say no to those belt-loosening roasts?) or a laid-back drinks party with festive sharing boards perfect for grazing and mingling. The Stables is the perfect setting for any celebration (and yes, it really can do it all!).

Capacities: 36 seated / 60 standing

Garden Alcoves

Our Garden Alcoves are the ultimate cosy, toasty-warm hideouts (ideal for those snug, intimate gatherings) in our garden. Fully covered and with heating (so no chilly toes here!), they’re the perfect setting for laid-back Christmas drinks parties. Whether you’re catching up with friends or raising a glass to the season, our alcoves offer a festive, private little spot that’s just right for smaller groups (and they’re oh-so-magical, especially with the twinkling lights).

Capacities: 15 seated / 15 standing

Our Garden

Our twinkling, covered courtyard is bursting with festive charm and cosy vibes (seriously, it’s like stepping into a Christmas wonderland). It’s the perfect spot for larger groups who want to keep things casual with festive drinks under the stars – but still stay warm and toasty. With enough space to gather all your friends, this courtyard is where the holiday magic happens, with plenty of room for all your merry-making mischief. If you’re looking to raise a glass (or three!) in true festive style, this is the place to do it!

Capacities: Up to 100

Christmas at ours

We booked Coach and Horses for Christmas Day and had such a lovely time we are already planning next year! Great staff, great food and their winter wonderland was magical. Great for oldies and the kids!

Trip Advisor

We booked a table at The Coach and Horses for Christmas meal for 4. We were really excited about going and are already planning to return next year. The food, the service, the atmosphere were all awesome and it was brilliant value for money. Thank you!

Design My Night

Thank you for helping with organising our school get together. It’s such a lovely space in the garden and the function room is a great size! Food and service was excellent and the whole evening was perfect!

Bubbles Reception

Want to skip the bar queues and jump straight into the fun? We’ve got you covered. Whether you’re craving Prosecco, Champagne, or any vibrant bubbly that tickles your fancy, we’ll have the drinks chilled and ready for when you arrive (because who wants to waste time waiting?). We’re all about popping the cork and getting the party started the moment you walk in.

Mulled Wine Reception

The smell of mulled wine wafting through the air can only mean one thing – Santa’s on his way! Forget those long bar debates and get everyone sipping straight away. With warm, spiced mulled wine ready on arrival, you’ll have your crew feeling festive from the first moment (and who doesn’t love that cosy, Christmas-in-a-cup vibe?). Let the mulling begin.

New Year's Eve

As 2024 wraps up, it’s time to kick off the celebrations for a brand-new year. Say goodbye to the old and hello to the fabulous 2025 right here at The Coach with our amazing GM Jo. We’ll have the bubbles chilling on ice and ready-to-shake cocktails lined up for a fabulous toast to the New Year. Let’s pop some corks and dance the night away in style—this is one party you won’t want to miss.

Gift Vouchers

From a scrumptious three-course feast to a fun-filled weekend getaway, or just a cosy couple of pints in their favourite local (because nothing beats the friendly, welcoming vibe of the pub), treat someone special this Christmas and give the gift of the pub. We’re all about creating heartwarming memories and sharing festive cheer with the wonderful community around us. Plus, what could be more perfect than a Twix-mas visit to the pub, where muddy boots and muddy paws are always welcome?
