Atmosphere & Decor
Pros:
"Overall really enjoyed my experience, this is a cracking pub, great entertainment, excellent atmosphere, super friendly staff."
"Wonderfully tired decor, classic London pub."
"A lovely Soho pub that has retained the old traditions."
"Wonderful Soho institution and traditional London pub."
"It had really warm atmosphere and none of that sticky beer smell that some pubs have."
"Such a lovely atmosphere, very much a proper pub compared to other pubs in the area that lack personality."
"A classic Soho pub with some of the friendliest staff and punters that I've seen (late afternoon on a Saturday), feels like a old school local pub."
Cons:
"A bit run-down, far from gastropub."
"The place itself is a bit rundown in areas (I had a hole the size of a crater in my chair for example)."
"Very plain pub, with toilets scrawled with graffiti."
"Weirdly dingy and not in a charming way so moved upstairs to the very sweet tea room to eat."
"The beer isn't good but it is conspicuously quiet compared to the rest of the pubs in soho."
"Not what it was but still relying on past glory to draw people in. It’s a pastiche of itself in better days."
"This pub is a shambles now."
Food & Drink
Pros:
"Coming as vegan one day to London. So we searched a place to eat. So we searched this place and we had eaten Vegan fish and chips. I never had vegan fish. But WAUW ! This was amazing."
"The selection of beers is really good and all kept in excellent condition."
"Excellent Vegan Food! Call ahead for a reservation because this place is popular."
"The food was amazing every time I've been here, definitely get the tofush and chips."
"All the food is veggie or vegan, but the menu is traditional pub food and very high quality at a reasonable price."
"The vegan fish and chips was delicious!"
"Tofush and chips, pies, and burgers. All top quality."
Cons:
"£12 for fish and chips is expensive."
"Having looked at the menu the prices were pretty expensive so I wasn’t tempted to have one."
"Food was ok, but overpriced for what it was (frozen chips and a 'main' the size of a starter)."
"The vegan fish and chips were clearly from a frozen packet and came with some bland boiled peas and frozen chips."
"Ordered to tofish and chips and it wasn't as great as expected; the batter and seaweed was nice but the tofu itself was bland."
"I ordered their 'famous Tofush & Chips'. After waiting for more than 45 minutes it was really bland and unseasoned."
"The tofish and chips was pretty average, and it was also relatively expensive at £11.95."
Service
Pros:
"Staff was extremely friendly & helpful."
"The service is friendly these days."
"I cannot stress how good this lady is at hospitality...changed my day as was setting out for 3 hour journey which j did with a skip in my step!!"
"REALLY nice bar staff considering how central this place is. Seriously, they were joking around with us making us feel welcome the second we walked in."
"The staff were really friendly and helpful, the range of drinks is good and food was also excellent."
"Our waitress Danielle was great, well knowledgable about the food on menu and drinks."
"This pub was very busy when we came in but the bartender was super nice to us! He answered all our questions on the food and even helped us with our drink selection."
Cons:
"However after a horrendous experience, solely on account of the staff, I have decided to never set foot in this establishment ever again."
"Service was really poor, waitress unnattentive and very rude!"
"Staff although kind got our order incorrect, so just make sure the staff are aware."
"The place gets super busy and the staff remind you to remember what you want to order before you get to them, one might expect better service."
"Would've given 5 stars as the interior is lovely and the atmosphere is great, but the woman serving us that night was extremely snappy and rude."
"The service was bad - we were there early and it wasn't busy but they didn't seem to care whether we enjoyed the food or not."
"Staff like to hide out of sight out the back, chat amongst themselves, or stare at their phones."

"Love the Joanna anyone can play."

"The Coach and Horses, 29 Greek Street, Soho, London is a Grade II listed pub, notable for its association with the columnist Jeffrey Bernard, the staff of Private Eye magazine, other journalists and as a haunt for Soho personalities."
Cons:
"Weird vegan vibe. Wasn't even busy on Chinese New year which was strange."
"Tables a review a bit wonky."
"No sign of the old 'joanna' - it may come back - and no plans for a trade kitchen now."
"A quick search online revealed that there was no kitchen since the 14th September due to renovation."
"The (female) toilets had some interesting graffiti on the walls (lots of feminist comments and slogans)."
"Beware of cats! Settled in and then noticed two large cats enjoying the table by the door."
"Sitting outside we were pestered by people asking for money."
