Eleke95 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Got engaged in there in 1988! Tried to keep it quiet but the waiters must have seen my OH presenting the ring (how romantic!) and promptly appeared with a free bottle of wine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffsal Posted January 1, 2009 Author Share Posted January 1, 2009 I think the disco up stairs was called valentines anyhow the last song always was true - spandau ballet.

Caz1 Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Went a few times during its heyday, hen nights, birthdays, Valentines etc. It was always a good night with good food and fab disco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldonsmith Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Once went for a meal with about 12 peeps there (always good stuff) in the very early '80s. The days of 'Miami Vice' rolled up sleeves and canvas shoes. Ordered a meal which invlved a kebab of some description. The waitress spilled my drink, then stood on my foot. Later she came to collect the plates, dropping the skewer which, (I can't use the term embedded, really), landed in the same foot. I hobbled upstairs expecting compensation in the shape of a 'close' dance, but she refused. A sort of staff and customer thing (I like to console myself with) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suzy Q Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 I seem to recall a fire at the Coach House, which may have closed it. Does anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
