See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.

A pub ideally located in the heart of the village near the church and war memorial. A former settlement of the Silures tribe in pre-Roman times, it became an important Roman city, Venta Silurum. The extensive Roman walls and foundations which are indicative of the great importance Caerwent had in those times (a Cadw publication "Caerwent Roman Town" is on sale here). The pub attracts visitors seeking refreshment before or after exploring the Roman sites. There is a traditional public bar to the front with a tiled floor and comfortable upholstered seating around the walls. Darts and pool are played here and successfully, if the number of trophies displayed on a shelf above the bar is anything to go by. The lounge, which gives access to the restaurant, is very cosy with warming red upholstered seating and displays a large William Bass mirror. Food is primarily sourced from local producers, including the pork. Near the rear entrance to the garden, patio and car park, is a framed history of the Coach & Horses name. The garden, which runs alongside the ancient town wall is huge; it has an adults-only area as well as plenty of grass and space with a children's play area.
