  “What a wonderful find! To start off, what a beautiful piece of architecture! The whole structure is wonderful. Second, ALL of the staff were really nice and friendly which really made the whole experience feel even better from the off. Thirdly, food and ambiance were fantastic also. We were in the restaurant side and it was nice and snug/quiet. Overall, normal prices were very reasonable too considering what the owner has to keep running. No downside but the car park wasn’t easy to find. It’s around the back! Thanks for your great pub!”

  “Went for Sunday lunch, which happened to be BBQ Sunday lunch. We ordered some Olives and Breads while we waited for our main lunch, which we both ordered beef. The olives and bread were delicious, however before we could finish eating them, the waitress arrived with our main course. She did apologise, however did not offer to take the lunches back until we had finished our breads etc, so needless to say, not impressed so far. The main meals was ok, if you like onions, as 1/2 the meal consisted of this, along with just 2 stips of beef, I x carrot, 3 x new potatoes along with burnt leeks mix, stuffing and Yorkshire pudding. I have cheaper Sunday lunches with a lot better selection of vegetables and more meat, at £26 each, not impressed. You are paying more for the location than the actual quality and value of the meal.”

  “Such an amazing historic venue, in a very picturesque village of Great Brington. Very nice welcome from the two young ladies behind the bar. We ordered drinks then sat out in the shaded coach yard. We had a menu and decided on the shared Ploughman's Platter, it had beef, chicken, hock, 3 cheeses, a mixed salad and homemade branston styled pickle, along with hunks of warm bread with 3 different butters. Everything on the platter was amazing. The cost was £25 plus drinks which was really great value. Really enjoyed our visit and hope to return”

  “Lovely old pub with charming character. We love coming here but our visit last night was marred by the service.The young woman who served the drinks and took our order was lovely. Couldn’t fault her. However, the man who served the food was nothing short of rude. No conversation, just dumped the plates on the table and walked away. He didn’t say a word. At the end of our meal he walked over and started removing the plates without even checking that we’d finished. Again not a single word came out of his mouth. I hadn’t even finished!! We were made to feel like an inconvenience. The young woman who served the drinks told me he was the manager. Manager??? Blimey, he needs to seek alternative employment as he was awful. Sadly, this will be our last visit to this beautiful pub.”

  “Gosh. What's happened here? Came for Sunday lunch and it was so disappointing. Our table was in the corner with no other diners near us and our waitress kept forgetting about us. Beef was overcooked, carrots, roast potatoes and cauliflower were so undercooked the carrot was raw. The lemon beurre blanc with the sea bass had split and was so lemony it was offensive. The pork belly was undercooked so the fat wasn't rendered at all. Seriously, does anyone even check these meals before they go out? Really really disappointed. We won't be back. You need to seriously rethink both your chef and your quality control.”

  “Great country pub, with a cozy feeling, There are log burners for that added bonus but don’t expect to find them on. In terms of service it seems disorganised, forgot to bring our drinks, had to chase multiple times. The quality and taste of the food is low compared to how is presented in the menu. Small portions for high prices - this would have not mattered if the food was quality over quantity. For steak lovers - ok for a pub. I would probably return for drinks only.”

  “⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had a fantastic overnight stop here using Brit Stops and couldn’t have asked for better. A warm welcome from the hosts, a level and peaceful spot for the motorhome, and a really relaxed atmosphere made it the perfect stopover. The pub itself is excellent — great food, well-kept drinks, and a genuinely friendly vibe. It’s exactly what Brit Stops is all about: supporting a local pub while enjoying a safe, quiet night in a lovely location. Highly recommended for fellow motorhomers, and we’d happily return. Thanks again to the team for their hospitality 🍻🚐”

  “We visited the Althorp Coaching Inn for a family lunch following a wedding celebration, and it turned out to be a truly outstanding experience. Food & Drink From start to finish, the food was exceptional. I started with the onion bhajis — perfectly crisp, full of flavour, and not at all greasy. For the main course, I had the halibut, which was cooked beautifully — tender, fresh, and delicately seasoned. Both dishes far exceeded expectations and I’d absolutely order them again without hesitation. We also enjoyed dessert, and for two people having a full three-course meal, the bill came to approximately £85, which felt like great value for the quality provided. Service There were plenty of staff on hand, all of whom were friendly, attentive, and efficient. Service was smooth and never felt rushed, making for a relaxed and enjoyable lunch. Atmosphere & Setting The interior is beautifully maintained and tastefully decorated in a period-appropriate style — everything you’d want and expect from a classic British pub. The venue has character in spades, from the inviting bar area to a charming barn out back featuring a dart board and communal seating. A projector in the barn was even showing the F1, which added a fun and relaxed touch. Overall The Althorp Coaching Inn nails that rare balance between authentic charm, top-quality food, and warm hospitality. Whether you’re there for a casual lunch or a celebratory gathering, it ticks all the right boxes. Highly recommended — we’ll certainly be back.”

  “Food was lovely but sadly too many wasps. The menu is very unique and they had great selection of dessert wines, it's a shame not all they sell as a glass. It's a quintessential place with an interesting (in a good way) menu. *highly recommend*”
