Coach & Horses - Bruton Street

Unlike Mayfair’s other Coach and Horses, this old-time boozer is the real deal. The place looks much as it did on its opening day as a coaching inn back in the 1770s, making it one of Mayfair’s oldest surviving, unreconstructed taverns – complete with original cellars and a cold room. In the hands of brewers Taylor Walker, you’ll find their own 1730 Special Pale Ale, London Pride and seasonal cask ales on rotation in pleasingly genteel, atmospherically archaic surroundings. Prices are far from ambitious, and the affordable ethos also extends to a range of bar snacks and traditional pub grub (pies, fish and chips, bangers and mash, veggie options) during the working week. This being Mayfair, any coach is likely to be an Audi or a Porsche.
