About White Horse
Pub in a 1930s art deco building on a cobbled street, with original wood-panelled walls.
Rebuilt in 1939 to replace a pub dating from 1718, the main ground floor is effectively divided into two separate bars by the large serving area and there is a further area on a slightly lower level at the rear. Some attractive wood panelling has been retained whilst, outside, the upper window frames are pure 1930s, as is the metal second floor balcony with its stylised horse-motif metal railing.
In addition to eat-in, the pub offers a takeaway food service, see venue website.
Note that on Sundays alcohol may not be bought before noon.

A very cozy and decent pub considering the extremely competitive environment of SoHo. We managed to get a table although we appeared without a reservation on a busy night during Christmas holidays. Very helpful staff did their best to find us a table. Service was quick and accurate. Food was good and the selection of beers satisfactory. We had fish & chips, meat pie and burger. All very tasteful and very well presented.

My fiance and I had dinner there 2 days ago and we both ended up getting food poisoning afterwards. We got the fish and chips and the pie. This was the worst food poisoning I ever had and could not move for 2 days, I wish we’d never gone there, it ruined our last night in London and made the trip back unbearable the next day. The waiter was very nice though.

Found this pub after being ignored at the Kingly St Blue Posts. Just in time for the Titanic Plum Porter to be on the pumps. Staff were friendly and helpful. Sprawling layout with nooks and crannies, with some cosy corners.

This was the second best fish and chips I've ever had. The whole dinner experience was wonderful. Thank you!
