Historic Coaching Inn moments from Sandown Park

Dogs are welcome on request, with prior acknowledgement directly with the pub in some rooms, whilst others are suitable for families.

Food & Drink

Expect comfort food classics, seriously good bar snacks, and a cracking roast on Sundays. A nicely spiced Bloody Mary, pint of cask ale, or a posh bottle of wine are the icing on the cake.
