#23 The Coach And Horses, Kibworth

Our Order
Apple & Raspberry J2o
Stella
Beef & Ale Pie - 2 for £12
Lasagna - 2 for £12
Chips
Total £20.40 (I think)
10/10
Yet another meal where I didn't pick up the receipt so my apologies but I do remember that our meals where on a 2 for £12 offer and I'm certain the total came to £20.40.
We go past The Coach And Horses on a daily basis but we've never been in and after our trip to Bali & Manila, we were craving some good old English pub grub (despite the fact Jed went for the lasagna). Thankfully, that's exactly what we got.
The Coach And Horses is a snug little pub in Kibworth, Leicester and it's definitely worth visiting as we found out. Good service from the get go and throughout and the food came quickly. I was hesitant when I saw that my pie was a shortcrust pastry as I don't normally like it and I prefer the flaky pastry. But I tucked in I'm so glad I went with it. It was delicious. A thick gravy inside with tender beef and the pastry was crunchy but not too hard. I believe the pie normally comes with mash but I asked for fries and it was a good choice! Classic homemade chips that are so fluffy on the inside!
I had a couple of bites of Jed's lasagna and I almost wished I had picked that instead of my pie. We were both saying how normally the ragu sauce of a lasagna can completely overtake the flavour of the dish but it really didn't in this case. You got the flavour of everything that had been put in that bowl.
We highly recommend both dishes and The Coach in general!
Thank you for some good grub!

We Quit

-
Well, long time, no see! You read it - we quit. After months and months of deliberation, we finally did it. We’re spending the next 7 months travelling round Asia and then we’re moving to CANADA! At this moment in time we’re gearing up for the adventure of a lifetime and we’re excited to take you with us! We’ve created an entire Instagram that is going to be dedicated to our travels and you can follow it on @otterstravels. We’ve been thinking long and hard about what we want our travel vlogs and IG to consist of and we think it’s worth getting excited about! We would love to hear from you guys about what you would be interested to see while we’re out and about too. Otters Kitchen will remain fully in tact and we will be incorporating that into our videos along side our everyday adventures. Edinburgh is going to be our first stop. We have a whole 6 days to make the most out of Fringe 2019 and this is where our vlog adventure will begin (if we remember and get use to picking a camer...

Our Order River Phoenix £9.50 (Double cheeseburger, bacon, shoestrings onions, Frazzles, red chilies, Redneck BBQ, Bacon Bacon mayo, Smoky Bacon Ketchup) DTF £10 (Extra thick juicy patty, double American cheese, bacon, wonder onions, smoky bacon ketchup, dijon mustard, peppered mayo, pickles) Chilli Cheese Tots £5.50 (Tots, cheese, beef chilli, hot sauce, sour cream, jalapeno, onion) £25 8/10 After struggling to find Almost Famous on the Saturday, we were sure to find the place on Sunday. We had checked the menu on the Saturday and we were really excited to jump into it, especially after feeling the vibes as soon as we walked through the door. It wasn't too busy but you could feel the buzz. We struggled to settle on something for a while but my heart was telling me to go for the River Phoenix immediately purely for the Frazzles - I really wanted something different. The frazzles added a great texture to the burger, I just wanted more. It sounded like it was almost going to...

#40 Yard&Coop, Manchester

Our Order: Thighs, Blue Cheese Sauce, Salt & Pepper Chips £12.50 Double Mac £16 ( Two buttermilk chicken breasts, sandwiched with mac n cheese, crispy bacon, Dr Pepper BBQ and cheese sauces. Topped with two Dr Pepper BBQ wings.) Extra Buffalo Sauce £1 £29.50 9/10 After wandering round for about half an hour, looking for Almost Famous, we had no luck so we headed into Yard & Coop instead.  The place was filled to the brim and had a great atmosphere (and an ever better drinks menu). The variety of beers they offer is something and there was also a good few options for cocktails too. Both had nothing on the food menu though. Making a decision of something to eat was so hard as we both wanted everything on the menu, especially after seeing the food coming out of the kitchen. I was torn between trying the Dr Pepper sauce and the buffalo sauce so decided to go with the Double Mac with a side of buffalo because I'm greedy and refuse to regret not eating something. It was s...
