About

Halfway between the charming towns of Deal and Sandwich, our lovely pub and restaurant is a truly special spot for a relaxed, down-to-earth wedding. Whether you're dreaming of a cosy gathering with your nearest and dearest or a full-on celebration that lasts all day, we’d be thrilled to host you.

We don’t do cookie-cutter weddings here - each one is completely personal. From the food and flowers to the music and atmosphere, we’ll work with you to make it feel just right. We’ve got great local contacts -florists, DJs, photographers - and our brilliant in-house planner will be with you every step of the way to take the stress out of planning.

Our Head Chef, John, is all about seasonal, tasty produce that’s locally sourced where possible, and has carefully crafted a selection of wedding menus, from generous grazing boards to sit-down feasts, all tailored to suit your vibe and your budget.

We’re not licensed for ceremonies, but there are some lovely local churches and registry offices nearby. Most couples choose to tie the knot close by, then head to us for the party. We can seat up to 75 guests for dinner, 80 for a buffet, or welcome up to 100 for a relaxed evening do with canapés and drinks.

To hire The Coach with exclusive use, we have a minimum spend of £5,000 in peak season. For all other scenarios, the minimum spend will depend on the event timings and number of guests. For example, an intimate evening 2-course sit-down celebration for 25 people could cost as little as £700 plus drinks! A £200 deposit secures your date.

If you’re looking for a warm, welcoming space filled with good food, good people and Kentish charm, we’d love to help you celebrate your day your way.

Perfect venue for our wedding reception!

We had our wedding reception at The Coach in August 24 and it was absolutely perfect from start to finish.

Gemma went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly—she truly couldn’t do enough for us and was so accommodating throughout the entire process. It was a joy to meet her each time to discuss the plans and food choices. Every time we visited the Coach we were made to feel so welcome by everyone and it’s amazing we get to visit and remember our special day any time we like!

The food was incredible, the team were absolutely amazing, and nothing was ever too much trouble. Our guests were full of compliments, and one actually said, “Omg, the DJ needs to do an announcement about the brownies—they’re so good!”

The venue is decorated so nicely we only had a florist add some vases to decorate. We had a singer & a DJ - both so much fun! And the Coache were really helpful with everyone involved.

Thank you to everyone at The Coach for making our day so special. It was honestly the absolute BEST and we couldn’t recommend you highly enough! ✨
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
