3-star traditional inn serving Thai cuisine and Sunday roasts near Cambridge

Dining

The White Horse Inn offers a British and Portuguese menu alongside a full Thai menu cooked by the owner's wife. Sunday roasts are available by pre-order, featuring generous portions of beef with Yorkshire pudding, cauliflower cheese, and apple crumble with custard. Guests can dine in the garden during warmer months or beside an inglenook fireplace in cooler weather.

Entertainment & Events

The inn hosts regular quiz nights and a Pudding Club, both open to guests and locals. A book swap initiative encourages visitors to exchange reads during their stay. Real log fires in the bar and lounge create a gathering spot for evening drinks and conversation.

Accommodations

Rooms are located in a detached building behind the pub, providing extra privacy and quiet after closing time. Each double room includes a fridge with fresh milk and bottled water, plus a choice of bath or shower. One guest praised the 'good size, nicely furnished room' and the large fan provided during hot weather.
