“We know the local area and what people want from their local pub, the White Horse is a great fit for us and our growing business.”

The White Horse has been redecorated internally and externally, with utilities fitted to the garden to facilities events and so a new garden bar and children’s play area can be built as well as improvements due to be made to the pub’s car park.

“That means the people of Arlesey are going to get a brilliantly run pub by people who understand what they want from a local pub.
