A Legacy of Two Families
Founded in 1981 by two friends, John Evans and Felice Mutti, the Coach House has been a cherished cornerstone of the community for over 40 years. The restaurant has since been passed to the next generation - Luisa & Domenico, daughter and son-in-law of Felice, and Nicola & Samantha, daughters of John.
Together, they proudly carry on the legacy of their fathers, honoring the traditional Italian recipes that have long been at the heart of the Coach House, with Domenico introducing fresh, innovative dishes that reflect his culinary creativity.
