The Coach

About

The Coach is a neighbourhood pub and garden with good European food. Established in 1790, it has been the heart of the lively Clerkenwell community for generations. Lovingly restored, and with a menu from chef-restaurateur Henry Harris, it’s a warm and welcoming place to eat, drink and unwind. Henry Harris, the chef-restaurateur behind Racine, brings his passion for French cooking to The Coach. Through careful sourcing of good seasonal ingredients, he has put together a great menu of bistro and restaurant classics. Expect signature dishes such as grilled rabbit, mustard sauce and smoked bacon; onglet, frites and aoli; and steak tartare, while on Sundays, it's the turn of his traditional roast. Flooded with natural light through floor-to-ceiling windows, the Back Room is an intimate space in which to enjoy your meal. It opens onto the Garden, a rather nice spot for lunch or an early dinner on warmer days. Upstairs, the Dining Room is 1920s-inspired, south-facing, and seats 40 covers.
