Strictly speaking, there are two pubs in Longborough
- both are called the Coach & Horses and both are tied to
the local Donnington Brewery. One is in the village itself, the
other is up the hill in Ganborough.
This is the village pub, unspoiled and friendly - and a finer
view from any pub terrace is hard to find. Connie Emm, the landlady,
celebrates her 30th year here in September. Connie keeps a fine
pint of Donnington's Ale, both B.B. and XXX - a delicious dark
mild which is not sold in any other pub. The pub is a popular
watering hole with both cyclists and ramblers - and an old Cyclists
Touring Club wall plaque still greets the cyclists as they come
up the path. There are regular visits from troups of Morris Dancers
- many of whom have been visiting throughout Connie's tenancy.
The pub has darts and cribbage teams and hosts the occasional
Quiz Night. Dogs and well behaved children are welcome. Food is
not normally served, but, if you are a party of ramblers or cyclists
and phone in advance, Connie may provide you with sandwiches,
but if you're a "foodie" this is not the place to come.
