The White Horse is a non-smoking traditional pub focusing on families, food, real ale and live entertainment. Our commitment to quality was recognised in 2007 with our award of “Perfect Family Pub”, Meridian region in Abbott Ales Perfect Pub awards, and finishing national runner-up in The Publican’s Children’s Healthy Menu competition.

The White Horse is the best pub in the area according to our customers. Check out our reviews on www.beerintheevening.com

All our food is home-made and cooked fresh to order and our ingredients are all sourced from local suppliers. There is also a healthy children’s menu available and on Sundays a roast with all the trimmings!

But the White Horse is about far more than just food ~ we’re at the heart of the local community and through our quiz nights, Bingo mornings, charity events and welcoming atmosphere offer everyone in the area a great place to meet, relax and unwind.

History

Welcome to Epsom’s oldest existing pub!

Originally called the New Inn, the pub was mentioned in Samuel Pepys’ diary during one of his visits to Epsom in 1667. The purpose of Sir Samuel’s visit was to take water from the well that made Epsom a famous spa town in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries (this water is famous for its laxative qualities)!

The well is a short walk up the hill heading away from Epsom and is situated in the “Wells Estate”. The White Horse was also mentioned in a court circular in 1672 – so even back then it was being talked about in all the best places!

Architecturally the building is extremely unusual; the front is an 1830’s addition when the fashion was for flat roofs, hence the parapet around the front and sides that hides the roof.

The core of the pub remains the original timber-framed building, although there have been several later additions over the years.
