After being taken over by the award-winning Peach Pub Company eight years ago, the team has ensured both the atmosphere and food is always the best it possibly can be. However, after becoming such a popular location, it was time for a change. General manager, Jon Waterhouse says: “The White Horse is a really lovely historic pub that’s full of character and charm, we definitely wanted to keep it that way so our new look has been carefully planned to bring out its best features whilst revitalising the interior and give it a stylish new look. “There are lots of cosy spaces, especially the bar and the eatery beyond, with its wooden rafters and stripped wooden flooring. We’ve restored these and added elegant new furniture, furnishings, lighting and accessories to create a really smart but comfortable space.” The pub is sporting a stylish new look throughout, and some delicious dishes on the new menu created by head chef Dan Kennie. The premises has a lovely private dining room, which is perfect for intimate wedding breakfasts.
