The White Horse in Boughton-under-Blean is a historic pub restaurant with more than its fair share to offer guests. Not only is this ancient coaching inn mentioned in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, but its location in a glorious village surrounded by hop field lined walksing routes to Mount Ephraim Gardens and the site of The Peasant’s Last Revolt recommend this excellent stop before one even ventures inside.

As you may well hope, The White Horse is beautifully traditional inside, with roaring log fires, low-beamed ceilings and a cosy, intimate feel. Meanwhile, outside beautiful landscaping has turned a pleasant pub garden in to an Englishman’s dream.

Our team of chef's are creating quite a stir in the kitchen. Our locally sourced British food has elevated the White Horse to gastropub levels with his combination of creativity and talent, providing guests with the opportunity to enjoy high level food in the most comfortable of atmospheres. Sunday lunches take place weekly and jazz suppers are a regular occasion featuring award-winning vocalists Christine Tobin and Georgia Mancio.

Food service times:
Monday - Saturday: 12:00 - 2:30pm and 6:30 - 9pm
Sunday: 12:00 - 7:30pm
