About
The Coach and Horses sits on a bank at the top of Longborough, above the small green and the war memorial, with the church and cottages in view from the garden. It is one of Donnington Brewery's pubs, so the ale on the bar is brewed nearby at Donnington, and there is a log fire for winter, a wine list and Guinness for anyone who wants it.
The menu changes often and leans on local produce: home-cooked pub food at lunch and dinner from Tuesday to Saturday, and on Sundays a roast with a choice of at least four joints, often including game in season, and a homemade vegetarian option. Some dishes can be made gluten free. Weeknights have their deals: steak for two with a bottle of house wine for £55 on Wednesdays, and fish and chips for two with a bottle for £35 on Fridays (2026).
The pub opens from 11.30am every day, noon on Sundays. Food runs from noon to 2pm and 6pm to 9pm from Tuesday to Saturday, and from noon to 3.30pm on Sundays, with no food on Mondays. It is a small pub, so book for Sunday lunch and the Friday fish night.
Longborough is a short drive from Moreton-in-Marsh and Stow-on-the-Wold. Come for a pint after looking round the church, or after an evening at the opera in summer, and park considerately in the village's narrow lanes.
