“Excellent real country pub”

★★★★★

written by Griffith1957 on 02/08/2014

My partner and I had a meal here a couple of weeks back and only just got round to writing a review. My partner is from London and was amazed at the location and setting , she was then even more amazed when the landlord I think said he would call the ducks up for a feed. Even the tiny ducklings made an appearence. The atmosphere and service is very good and the only criticism I have is the size of the portions , and its not that they are too small but they are absolutely huge.

Excellent food, good selection of beer and ciders. Always a warm welcome from them. And the surroundings by the river on a warm summers night take some beating. What more can I say except try it for yourselves, you will not be disappointed !!!!.

“excellent”

★★★★★

written by ALANboat on 05/01/2014

My wife and i have eaten at the Coal house several times , each time the food has been EXCELLENT ,A1 and lots of it, i really can not fault the place its set on the banks of the River Severn the hosts have made the place really lovely especially in summer when you can sit in the garden which is decorated with hanging baskets and potted flowers , a real beautiful place thats been given a lot of time and pride to make it such, The landlord is a lovely friendly guy who will no matter how busy he is stop for a chat if you wish and tell you about the place and its history , the hosts also have several ducks and chickens in runs for the children to see and if your lucky you may get to seethe landlord stand at the front of the pub and call ( his babies )has he likes to call them ( wild ducks etc ) with a call from him they all march single file one by one from the river bank right up to the pub garden there can be as many as 50 at one time (due to him feeding them at regular times in the day theyve got to know when grubs up ) , basically a delight of a pub with a great landlord , great beer , fantastic food,and a beautiful garden, The pub unfortunatly got hit bad in the floods of Jan 2013 so it had to close, which cost the hosts dearly as they had to have a major refit, 6 months later in June on 2013 they reopened , now being Jan 2014 theyve flooded AGAIN only after 6 months of being reopen, my heart goes out to them so if your reading this and wonder if you should try it DO SO please, its a great pub all round and theyve had a lot of bad luck i promise you if you go , you WILL return , this is a real review by a real person whois been and will continue to go to this great pub , ALAN

“Very Friendly, Lovely Food”

★★★★★

written by SGreen4 on 10/10/2013

Nice position by the River Severn, landlord was very friendly. My husband had steak on a stone and I had braised steak in whisky and peppercorn sauce. Both meals were superb and the service was very good. We were on holiday, but if I am in the area again I will go back there.

“Hidden Gem!”

★★★★★

written by Miskins on 05/09/2013

The Coalhouse Inn was recommended to us by a friend and what a recommendation it was! Perfectly set by the banks of the River Severn with views over the Malvern Hills - we enjoyed local cider and very generous portions of lovely pub grub! The landlord was friendly and welcoming and his managery of birds (both wild and pets) were an added delight! We will definately be back!

“Location food staff fantastic”

★★★★★

written by tonyeast88 on 31/08/2013

Steak on the stone with Herbie potatoes a must. The landlord is a character who has a kind heart and always up for a laugh. The setting is fantastic and friends drive up from Bristol as it is also their favorite inn. I have always had a good meal and try to go twice a month or more if possible. Thanks and in the words of Arnie " I'll be back".

“Friendly pub, good food”

★★★★★

written by on 31/08/2013

A lovely riverside location, excellent choice of food hard to choose what to have, lovely big portions cooked to a turn. We did not have the steak on the stone but the smell was fantastic. We went for the ham egg and chips... yummy Staff were friendly and service was quick despite it being busy. Watching the sun go down over the Malvern Hills... blissful way to finish the day. Thank you and we will be back again soon

“BEST PUB FOOD I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED”

★★★★★

written by theashcastle on 10/08/2013

I visited this little gem today with my girlfriend we were looking for a spot by the river to have a nice pub lunch, i came across the coal House on google and decided to give it a go rang first and booked with a nice well mannered girl, got there was greeted by the landlord who was very friendly and continued to explain all the ciders as i was interested in them (GL is the best in my opinion) and also let me try them before deciding he was extremely friendly and welcoming. We sat outside right on the river lovely surrounding's the food was quick i had the beer battered cod and the girly had pasta, now this is no exaggeration but the cod blew me away,, it is the best cod ive had EVER! i like cod and have had it from hundreds of establishments but this was fresher and nicer in flavour then any cod ive ever had before, upon going to compliment it (another round) , he told me it is all caught and cooked from fresh and the batter and everything else is made onsite, as he is a butcher by trade. honestly i cant recommend it enough for anyone who is keen on good pub grub in a great location check it out for yourself im sure you will come to the same conclusion. another reason for writing this review is the fact that i am flabbergasted by the poor comments a couple of people have wrote about the place and after visiting the pub myself today i wonder what planet they are really from? Best Regards Ryan (and Amy) Cheltenham.

“Brilliant food and barman”

★★★★★

written by on 24/06/2012

All our family went for Sunday lunch today and it was really nice. The steaks were fabulous and the lamb fell of the bone . My mom, who only eats small potions, had ham egg and chips and it was really nice and plenty of it . My dad struggled to eat the braised beef as its a large portion but absolutely gorgeous . The large half roast chicken dish my daughter had was lovely and the puddings were huge and homemade and very nice . Beer good, cider brilliant . A lovely meal . Barman Steve couldn't have been more helpful and the rest of the staff are very nice and very efficient . We all loved chickens and ducks steve is rearing . Lovely , we will be making it a regular for Sunday lunch .

“Great Beer and Food”

★★★★★

written by BristolianRobin on 03/06/2012

Visited the Coal House Inn Apperley in early June 2012 and had a great time. I recommend the Butty Bach it was a great pint of beer. We also ordered steak on a stone and Braised Beef. The Braised Beef was delicious and my wife really enjoyed the steak on a stone. There was more steak than we could easily manage. The Landlord was friendly and amusing and admittedly could chat for England but he was genuinely interested in whether we enjoyed the meal. Cant wait to go back again!

“lovely evening at the coalhouse”

★★★★★

written by alan-g on 02/08/2011

My wife and i went to the Coal house recently on a Friday evening and we had a wonderful meal , the landlord & landlady were very nice people and a warm welcome was had, its a really lovely country pub with a beautiful garden its a shame we went in the evening it would have been lovely in the day to sit out in the garden right on the bank of the river Severn , all in all we couldnt fault the place and we will be returning very soon, for us its a little out of our way as we live in Cheltenham but its well worth the drive, a little gem of a place try it if you havent already you wont be disapointed Alan
