Coach & Horses
A Traditional Pub in Soho's Heart.
About Coach & Horses
The Coach & Horses sits on Great Marlborough Street in London. It's a traditional pub with a 19th-century feel, and it fits naturally into the surrounding part of Soho. There's a beer garden out the back, a quiet spot for a pint or two, and inside the place carries the warmth you'd expect from a pub of this age.
The building leans on history, but the menu mixes the traditional with the contemporary. You'll find real ales, a selection of wines and handcrafted cocktails. The food is modern British: classics like the Sunday Roast, sirloin and half chicken, alongside lighter bites and some considered vegan options. For an authentic British pub experience with a good range of ales, wines and beers, the Coach & Horses delivers.

Not Being Treated Equally
I feel compelled to warn others about my experience at the Thursday night karaoke at the Coach & Horses near Oxford Circus. I attended with my fiancé and was looking forward to a fun evening. At the start of the night, the karaoke DJ accepted my song request and our duet requests without issue. However, despite submitting our songs earlier, we were skipped twice in a row while a white couple who had arrived more than an hour after us were repeatedly called up ahead of us. The most upsetting moment came when the DJ announced it was our turn. I went forward expecting to sing my solo song, only to be told I could not. The DJ claimed he thought my fiancé and I were supposed to sing a different duet first. When my fiancé politely asked whether I could simply sing my song next, the DJ blamed him for supposedly numbering our requests incorrectly. Even after my fiancé apologised for any possible misunderstanding, the DJ still said he would call another singer first, despite having already announced our turn. We then left. As a black woman in a mixed-ethnicity relationship, I could not ignore the contrast between how we were treated and how white customers were treated that evening. We raised our concerns with the manager, who later told us he had spoken to the karaoke host but could not explain what had happened and could take the matter no further. I cannot know the DJ's motives, but I was left with the strong impression that I was not treated equally. I hope these concerns are taken seriously and that all customers are treated fairly and with respect.
