Ideal Operator
The ideal operator for the White Horse would be someone with a passion for the community. Someone who wants to be the heart of the community and enhance the events that the pub can contribute to! This pub is a good split for wet and dry led, so would need someone confident in delivering both to maintain the good trade it has.
Private Accommodation
There is a large extensive living area to the pub which would accomodate a couple/faimly comfortably. Well maintained throughout.
