The Coach

The Coach Real ale & craft beer brewpub. Home of The Coach Brewing Co. Voted 'Best Pub in Wales 2013'.
(446)

Proudly serving up the best real ale, craft beer and cider from South Wales and beyond. We constantly rotate four cask beers on hand pull and a further two on gravity. We also feature guest craft kegs on draught, as well as a menu of bottles from around the world and up to 9 traditional ciders. We host regular jam sessions, live music and meet the brewer events, no to mention a fortnightly quiz as

well as theme nights and beer festivals. Add to this the fact that we're super dog friendly, then you must be asking yourself... why aren't I at The Coach right now?!

Hospitality is one of the UK's largest employers, supporting millions of jobs and helping keep our cities, towns and villages vibrant. Across our venues in Bridgend, Cowbridge and Ogmore-by-Sea, we're proud to invest in people, buildings and communities. The Coach, Nolton Corner 1 Town Hall Square, The Cross Inn, The Tusker Rock.
โ€ข
Yet hospitality continues to face unprecedented cost pressures while operating under one of the highest VAT rates in Europeโ€ฆ at our 20% rate; ยฃ1 from every ยฃ6 spent in your local pub, cafรฉ, restaurant or hotel goes straight to HMRC in VAT alone. By comparison, many European countries support their hospitality sectors with lower rates, including France, Spain and Italy at 10%, and Germany at 7%.
That's why we're supporting Tom Kerridge, UKHospitality and the industry's call for a reduction in hospitality VAT from 20% to 10%.

The campaign has already attracted more than 100,000 signatures and you can learn more or add your support at vatstheproblem.co.uk

Last month The Coach Brewing Co was lucky enough to pick up a couple of Untappd awardsโ€ฆ ๐Ÿป

Including ๐Ÿฅˆ Silver โ€“ Fruited Sour in Wales for our BeerRiff Brewery & Taproom Um Bongo Tropical Sour.

It was brewed as part of the 7th birthday celebrations, and we thought it was nothing more than a fond memoryโ€ฆ

Turns out we were wrong.

Weโ€™ve found one last keg hiding at the back of the The Coach cellar โ€” and itโ€™s pouring NOW.

Come and help us celebrate an award-winning beer by drinking an award-winning beer.

But this time, once itโ€™s gone, itโ€™s ACTUALLY gone ๐Ÿป
