The Coach & Four, once an historic coaching inn, has been transformed into a lovely and attractive pub restaurant and is located on the Alderley Road out of Wilmslow, Cheshire. The site also includes a 35 bedroom lodge, which benefits from the close proximity to Manchester Airport.
The Coach & Four provides the very best in food and drink, in a stylish and comfortable environment, making it an ideal location for a wide range of occasions. Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary or christening, our orangery and private dining areas provide the perfect setting. It also has an upstairs function room, with bar, with a capacity for 100 people.
We recognise good beer matters so we have a full range of quality cask ales from our Brewery and rotating guest ales from across the UK. All complemented by a fine selection of lagers from around the world. The menu offers an exciting blend of top quality ingredients, many locally sourced, coupled with flair and originality providing a menu selection for all tastes, whether it is a light lunch or an evening dining out with family and friends.
Our vision is to be famous for the best pub experience around and we have won the Best Managed House in 2012 in the UK, and have been nominated for this award again for 2015.
