Jon, Lucy and their team are proud to continue the tradition of a true family‑run village pub, where locals gather and visitors feel instantly at home. Known for warm hospitality, freshly cooked food and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, The Coach & Horses has become one of the best pubs for lunch and dinner near Saffron Walden and Audley End.
Set in the heart of Newport, North Essex - just a couple of miles from the historic market town of Saffron Walden - we’re perfectly placed for anyone looking for great pub food, family‑friendly lunches, or a cosy dinner after exploring Audley End House. In summer, our terrace and garden are ideal for relaxed drinks and alfresco dining, while in the colder months the roaring log fire makes the pub feel wonderfully cosy.
Our 16th‑century heritage gives the building real character, and our kitchen team prepares every dish from scratch using quality ingredients. Guests join us from across North Essex for comforting classics, seasonal specials and one of the best Sunday roasts near Saffron Walden - all cooked fresh to order. Whether you’re stopping in for a light lunch, a hearty evening meal or a celebratory dinner, you’ll find generous portions, great flavour and genuine hospitality.
We’re equally proud of our bar, offering a well‑kept selection of beers, wines and spirits, including rotating guest ales from local and regional breweries. Whether you’re here for a quiet pint, a relaxed midweek lunch, or a special get‑together over dinner, we’re sure you’ll feel right at home - and we’d love to welcome you to The Coach & Horses.
