Mrs H Solo Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 remember having our works do there,christmas 1990,it wasnt as good as in the 80,s,it was looking rather shabby,however,couldn,t fault the food. I have very fond memories of this place, Christmas parties with the Yorkshire Water Authority, late 70's early 80's, disco fun - food always brilliant. I remember visiting there in January with the ladies from work and the waiter spoon fed us each a fresh strawberry, a treat in those days I can assure you - they dont do restaurants like that any more, perhaps Carlsberg do.

jules1234 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 That's a surprise, I thought it was already a restaurant well before 1980. It was went way back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laineyiow Posted January 11, 2009 Share Posted January 11, 2009 Remember going there for Christmas lunch parties in the 80's when I worked for the then "Midland Bank". We had some fantastic times there. If I remember rightly the Christmas lunches started at 12.00 and were always finished by 4.00pm. Just in time for us to stagger back to work to tidy our desks and go home (and switch off the electric typeswriters - no computers in those days for us!!) :hihi: Also Venus Steak House - used to go there regularly on Friday evenings with friends - fantastic steaks.

jadykiki Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Went to the Coach House for many years,i liked it so much i married the DJ,I also worked there myself for a few years,If you loved the Coach house,you will love the Venus Restuarant in Dinnington it is owned by one of the Cipriot owners of the Coach House and the Steaks are just as good as they were then,if not better !!!
