The manger wasn't vaccinated when I was open during covid , I know this because a family member of his told me because he was also not vaccinated, it's the only place to get away with no vaccinations just show your friends vaccination from a screenshot from his or her phone an you'll be able to go through without a fuss.

Date 07/11/21 8:25pm check video footage. Security guard has asked for covid vaccination proof l showed. My friend trying to find his one. Then security asked again for me to show my proof of vaccination l showed again. Then my friend found his one. Then security asked 3rd time for me to show my vaccination this is a joke its going to be my 3rd time l told him do you want a hard copy? Please train your security guards this is disrespectful l am a big customer with thousands of dollars loaded. The pub is excellent but train your security guards to be more respectful. Thank you Coach and Horses

The meals at the Coach and Horses Hotel are great value. The portions are substantial and most of our food was extremely tasty. The mash was the only thing that could have been better as it was bland. A highlight was the Irish cheesy chips, curry sauce and chicken which was delicious.

Back in the day when we lived in Randwick, we used to come here regularly, but after moving out of the area we stopped coming, so this was our visit in nearly three years. Nice to see though thats its still the same homely, friendly and popular neighbourhood pub bistro that I remember. The only thing thats changed, as other reviewers have alluded to, is the construction of a glass screen down the middle of the bistro, to separate the smokers from the non smokers. I had thought that smoking was a no-no throughout all restaurants; obviously there are still some holdouts. But to be honest
