Coach and Horses, 26-28 Ray St., EC1R 3DJ

A little pub with a small selection of quality ales and wines. Bar snacks include such delights as olives and toasted pumpkin seeds, but at £2.50 each we would rather have a bag of crisps thank you very much. For those with bigger appetites, gastro fayre is served in the dining room at the back. At the start of our visit, the pub had a warm and welcoming atmosphere, but this was soon shattered by the post-work rush and hordes of students from the art college up the road. This pub is probably at its best at lunchtimes, or perhaps after 8pm.
