Nicki and the team welcome you to the White Horse Inn, the Oldest Pub on the Isle of Wight, and which is said to be be the oldest in England too! The pub is an independently-owned Freehouse that sits in the heart of the village. Dogs & Children Welcome.
Open 7 days a week for food and drinks
We serve a range of fine ales along with more traditional beers and ciders alongside some good-quality food from our specials board and menu.
Well behaved dogs are welcome on a lead, and we have a large beer garden with a play area for the children to enjoy.
We are proud to retain on average 4.5 stars on both Tripadvisor and Google Reviews.
DINING
We serve good quality food and have a specials board. We also have regular themed food nights. Check our Facebook page and our website calendar, but it's generally Pie & a Pint on Mondays, Steak Night on Tuesdays, Curry & Quiz on Wednesdays, and a roast on Sundays. However, the rest of the menu is always available, as is the specials board.
TAKEWAY
We have a takeaway menu should you wish to dine at home. We do a variety of pub classics plug burgers and curries. This is available 7 days a week. Collection or delivery to Whitwell, Niton or Godshill.
BEAUTIFUL BEER GARDEN
There is a beautiful and very well kept beer garden with plenty of seating and shady parasols for sunny days. Younger visitors will enjoy the children’s play area. The large car park means that there is never a problem dropping-by for a meal or a drink and it’s also a popular pit stop for walkers and cyclists. Booking a table is always recommended to avoid disappointment.
GAMES
We have a pool table, and a darts board in the lower bar area.
VENUE HIRE
White Horse Inn offers facility hire for various events such as wedding receptions, anniversaries, birthday celebrations, funeral wakes, parties, meetings, conferences and private dinners. With a choice of the top bar or the whole pub available, the venue can cater from small groups up to around 100-120 guests. There is a licensed bar and an in-house kitchen to provide catering services for events if required. We can put on a wide buffet spread which is great for any large occasion.
The picturesque location of the White Horse Inn adds to the charm of any event hosted here and there is also a large pretty garden which is mostly laid to lawn and can be used as part of a package deal when hiring the White Horse Inn.
We also have our very talented, in-house baker who makes fantastic cakes for all occasions. Visit the separate listing for Ruby’s Bakes.
ENTERTAINMENT & LIVE MUSIC
The White Horse Inn loves to support local music by having acoustic musicians, bands, tribute acts, entertainment and events towards the end of each week and over the weekends. Every Thursday is an acoustic sessions night, and a very popular music jam happens on the 2nd and 4th Monday evening of every month.
