Eater Sundae   12 #6 Posted December 28, 2008 Worked on the Coach House when it it was converted from a bank into a restaurant 1980.  That's a surprise, I thought it was already a restaurant well before 1980. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
troutbasher   10 #7 Posted December 29, 2008 I remember The Olde Coach House,i used to work there,i was one of the 3 chefs.It was a great place to work back then allways buzzin at the weekends.And christmas was the best time of year there,we worked 16 hour days from the end of November right up to new years day.Dont think the disco upstairs ever had its own name.It was owned by 3 Greek Cypriats,could,t ask for better bosses,the staff used to get invited to all the greek weddings and christenings etc.Downstairs under the bar area just through the reception was the old bank vault where we stored the wine but there was no lock installed as it had been removed when Barclays moved out.Oh yes those were the days,if you did eat there hope enjoyed it (lol).If ya wanna know owt else about it jus pm me.

medusa   16 #8 Posted December 29, 2008 I can't remember ever seeing it open, but the frontage was definitely still there when I moved to Sheffield in 1988- I remember distinctly passing it a number of times on one day when I was trying to get to grips with where the **** I was!
