The Coach & Horses, Rugeley - Punch Pubs

Are you looking for a picturesque pub steeped in history in Abbotts Bromley? Look no further than the Coach and Horses.

The pub and location

The Coach & Horses is a grade II listed coaching Inn originating in 1745.

Situated in the affluent village of Abbotts Bromley in Staffordshire, visitors are drawn to the area for its traditional character and stories from days of old. It’s also known for its Horn Dance, held each year in September, drawing visitors to the area from everywhere.

The pub needs to develop an irresistible reputation for homecooked quality food, which will be vital for its continued success.

Serendipitously, Friel Homes housebuilder company has planning permission for a 60-acre site at the rear of the site for residential housing. Additionally, a local Co-Op supermarket will be built to the front, ensuring the Coach and Horses pub has a prominent place in the heart of the community.

The majestic Coaching Inn has a fantastic roadside presence when entering the village, with a rear car park and a stunning garden area, enhanced with a Tipi tent.

The pub boasts a beautiful patio and beer garden to its rear that’s the perfect place to enjoy a cask marque-accredited ale in the sunshine.

There is a large car park to the side of the pub with space for up to twenty cars. Guests will enjoy a cosy covered area for Alfresco dining and drinking in the summer.

Guests loved the traditional beams, cosy fireplace, and snug and relaxed dining/lounge area.
