Regional Manager's Thoughts An opportunity has arisen for an experienced publican or new starter to continue to drive forward this community business property popular for food.  Food is of course a large driver of trade and should continue to do so. In the surrounding area competitors are both value and premium operations therefore the new publican should pitch the offer accordingly to differentiate. This is a fantastic venue, perfect for a drink, lunch, or dinner amongst friends. Surrounding Area Situated on the edge of the New Forest, the White Horse appeals to walkers, day trippers, and locals alike. Well-known for its range of cask ales, ciders, and outstanding food, the pub requires an enthusiastic and energetic publican who can set very high standards and exceed customer expectations. The layout is suited to both drinking and dining with its expansive bar and dining room and is also the perfect space to host all occasions from birthdays to wakes. The outdoor patio spans the front and side of the building offering generous socialising space. This fantastic, family-friendly country tavern offers much to be admired.
