It was [http://www.morningadvertiser.co.uk/news.ma/article/90780 acquired] by Fuller's in June 2011, and added to their tenanted (as opposed to directly managed) division. However, by January 2019 Fuller's had decided not to renew the tenant's lease, and instead [https://www.morningadvertiser.co.uk/Article/2019/01/28/Coach-Horses-oppose-Fuller-s-vanilla-managed-make-over announced plans] to transfer it to their managed estate. The lease ended [https://www.standard.co.uk/go/london/bars/soho-coach-and-horses-fullers-takeover-a4160371.html on 1 June 2019], and the former landlords [https://life.spectator.co.uk/articles/last-orders-for-the-coach-and-horses/ departed later that month].

According to the Aug/Sep 2019 <i>London Drinker</i>, Fuller's reopened the pub on 29 June, though without its kitchen, which was still undergoing refurbishment. We haven't visited since the change of management, so some or all of the details below may be out of date.

There are five handpulls, which on our June 2012 visit had three real ales: Fuller's Chiswick, Gales Seafarers (&pound;3.70/pint), and Redemption Hopspur. We also noted Stowford Press and Old Rosie cider, as well as Thatcher's pear cider. They had Fentimans soft drinks too.
 It serves a good selection of beer. There are five handpulls, with Bombardier (&pound;3.30/pint), London Pride, and Greene King IPA regulars, as well as Old Rosie scrumpy and Weston's Country Perry. Draught beer taps include Lowenbrau, Hoegaarden, Staropramen, Beck's Vier, as well as Addlestone's cloudy cider and Stowford Press. The Coke gets served in small bottles at a quite inflated price.

In mid-2012, the menu was [http://web.archive.org/web/20160425144829/https://www.thecaterer.com/articles/343677/coach-amp-horses-in-soho-and-smithfield-tavern-in-the-city-are-londons-first-vegetarian changed] to become completely vegetarian <small>[http://www.flickr.com/photos/kake_pugh/7448696374/ photo of menu board]</small>, but unfortunately the kitchen was closed on our visit (we didn't manage to find out why) so we couldn't try it.
 There's a dining room which is open from 6pm-10pm every day according to posters. There's a food menu chalked up in the bar area though, as well, and most prominently lists a range of pies (including a vegetarian option) at &pound;8. Bar snacks include a pint of prawns for &pound;5.

When [[secretlondon]] visited in September 2008 there was a cockney singalong around a piano, and posters stating that this happens every Wednesday evening from 6:30pm. There were also adverts for live jazz on Tuesday evenings. (We're not sure how much of this is still going on.)

summary='Fuller's pub on Greek Street in Soho.'
website='http://www.normanscoachsoho.com/blog/' website='http://www.coachandhorsessoho.pub/'		 summary='Pub on Greek Street in Soho, which used to be famous.'
website='http://www.normanscoachsoho.com/blog/' website='http://www.coachandhorsessoho.pub/'

A famous pub in Soho, known for its gruff former landlord and its associations with the down-at-heel literati.

Inside a lot of the old-fashioned fittings and furnishings are preserved, and it has the feel of a place untouched by modern trends (except perhaps in the selection of drinks and certain aspects of the food menu). Behind the bar are advertised, carved into the wood and back-lit, the names of now-historical brands like Ind Coope, Double Diamond, and Skol lager.

It serves a good selection of beer. There are five handpulls, with Bombardier (£3.30/pint), London Pride, and Greene King IPA regulars, as well as Old Rosie scrumpy and Weston's Country Perry. Draught beer taps include Lowenbrau, Hoegaarden, Staropramen, Beck's Vier, as well as Addlestone's cloudy cider and Stowford Press. The Coke gets served in small bottles at a quite inflated price.

There's a dining room which is open from 6pm-10pm every day according to posters. There's a food menu chalked up in the bar area though, as well, and most prominently lists a range of pies (including a vegetarian option) at £8. Bar snacks include a pint of prawns for £5.

When secretlondon visited in September 2008 there was a cockney singalong around a piano. According to posters this happens every Wednesday evening from 6:30pm. They also advertise live jazz on Tuesday evenings.
