Coach & Horses
Coach & Horses
I'm part of the Destination Inns family!
A McMullen pub since 2011 – enjoy seriously relaxed dining on the outskirts of Stortford!
One of the “18 real ale pubs you need to visit in Hertfordshire” serving local McMullen ale, the Coach & Horses is a beautiful country pub full of character, cosy compartmental dining areas, roaring fire, and sun worshipping conservatory with a spacious secret garden at the rear.
Our food is lovingly created by our chefs with a focus on British heritage and seasonal ingredients. We serve glorious food with Chef-selected fresh daily additions, aspirational wines, McMullen cask ale and world lagers, and a range of classic cocktails. Sunday Roasts are a pinnacle at the Coach, with delicious roasted meats, huge homemade Yorkshire puddings, and all the trimmings.
Our splendid function room has AV facilities, and is ideal for groups, meetings, or privacy. It’s available from early until late so if you’re interested in booking us for your event, please click Private Hire to find out more and get in touch!
The team look forward to seeing you soon.
