White Horse, The

Nestling among the cottages of Mill Lane, The White Horse is your classic English country pub emanating the same warmth now as it did in its previous role a coaching inn. The restaurant has some homely, rustic touches accentuated with beams and floor-to-ceiling windows while the pub is a good place to cosy up by the fire place with a pint of beer in tow.

For starters chicken liver parfait with a hint of brandy comes with an onion marmalade and toast while a plate of nachos is accompanied by melted cheese, sour cream, salsa and jalapeño peppers. Pub stalwarts like steak and ale pie, bangers and mash and fish and chips feature alongside creamy risotto with chicken and wild mushroom with Parmesan crackling and steamed mussels in a white wine, shallot and herb sauce.

If you prefer to get closer to nature then head to the attractively laid-out Village Garden and unwind with a glass of wine.
