Authentic Thai Food
- Ananta is housed in the picturesque Coach and Horses pub, in the quiet village of Wicken Bonhunt, near Saffron Walden, Essex. Inside mouth-watering, fragrant smells and eclectic wooden Thai carvings mix beautifully with the charming interior of the rural thatched building. Owners, Sergio and Ananta have created a welcoming fusion of cultures in which to enjoy authentic Thai dining in a cosy environment.
Originally from Bangkok, Ananta was taught to cook by her father who had learnt from his Grandmother, a cook in the Siam Royal household.
Ananta uses combinations of garlic, ginger, lemongrass, chillies, kaffir lime, galangal , fish sauce and coconut milk in her recipes to create the five fundamental flavours present in Thai cooking; spicy, sour, sweet, salty and bitter. The result is a delicious and robust taste with delicate undertones and lots of personality, all freshly cooked to order. Real ale is available and there is an extensive wine menu.
