IPA Beer, ‘Decade’: A Local Toast

Rebellion Beer, a local institution since 1993, is renowned for its high-quality ales crafted using the Chiltern Hills’ natural resources and have collaborated with The Coach since the opening 10 years ago. Decade will be available throughout the anniversary celebrations, with a portion of proceeds donated to local charity, Meals from Marlow reinforcing The Coach’s deep ties to the Marlow community. Decade will be available to guests later in December.

Meet the Talent in the Kitchen: Sarah Hayward

At the heart of The Coach’s success is Head Chef Sarah Hayward, who has worked alongside Tom for a decade. In 2015, Sarah joined The Hand & Flowers, the two-Michelin starred pub from Tom Kerridge and after just three months was promoted to Chef de Partie. Just two years later in 2017, Sarah joined The Coach as Junior Sous Chef, before promotion to her first Head Chef role at The Bull & Bear in Manchester’s The Stock Exchange Hotel in 2019. In 2021 Sarah returned to The Coach as Head Chef where she knows the kitchen inside out. She has led the team, and herself, to achieve prestigious accolades, including being named Michelin Young Chef of the Year 2023, retaining a Michelin Star since 2018, Number 21 in Top 50 Gastro Pubs 2024, and 3 AA Rosettes 2024.

Sarah says of the occasion: “The Coach has been my home for so many years and celebrating its 10th anniversary is incredibly special. This menu is a tribute to our loyal guests and the amazing team who make The Coach what it is today. I’m so excited to revisit some of our best dishes and share them with everyone.”

Tom Kerridge adds: “The Coach has always been about serving high-quality food in a relaxed and welcoming environment, and Sarah embodies that vision perfectly. I’m so proud of what the team has achieved and can’t wait to see how we continue to evolve in the years ahead.”
