Have you faced any challenges within the industry

Before re-opening the White Horse had been closed since early 2019. Relaunching whilst also emerging from the pandemic amid the rising cost of living has been challenging, however we have focused on quality, value for money and creating an inviting pub atmosphere for families, cyclists and dog walkers wanting teas, coffees and lunch during the day, and for residents wanting somewhere to socialise and eat in the evening.

The best thing about running a pub is

Creating a pub community where people can make socialise with friends and family making memories.
