I had not been to The White Horse Pub for many years until last night when I joined a group of friends to enjoy a Thai meal cooked by Mam, who runs the restaurant as a separate business within the pub.
This Thai food is so good and believe me I have eaten in many Thai restaurants both here in East Sussex and in London. Clearly made very freshly.. a real gem of a Thai chef.
The owner is gave us a very friendly welcome and looked after us until our meal was ready .

'Whatever @ Whitehorse'

The car park is diagonally opposite the entrance . We were watched on arrival
-Interesting, as we could see the bargirl wait to the last minute to locate 'server' barside. It smelt of paint thinners on entering & was barely warm inside.
The decor was average, the 'service welcome ' felt false - a sense of 'whatever' . Three male locals were swearing & continued to do so ( I hasten to add not at us, but as part of their quite loud 'conversation' occasionally involving the bar girl) . No evident bar manager or landlord. No background music.
As a frequent user of trip advisor I would suggest caution for evening meals here . Laminated menu sheets were sticky. Having ordered meals, it was cold inside the eating area & remained so - no evident heating nor real fire lit!
All of our meals were good, delivered by two staff , on hot plates. It was a real relief when the 3 blokes at the bar left ( at staggered times) & another couple came into the bar . Try the Plough at Upper Dicker .

Thanks to Trip Advisor, we have been thinking about visiting The White Horse Inn and sampling their Thai menu.

A wise management decision. With friends we visited yesterday at lunchtime. We were made to feel “at home” as soon as we arrived and with a bottle of house Pinot Grigio for the girls and two pints of Harveys for the boys, we were able to make our selections from the extensive Thai menu.

All selected dishes were excellent especially the duck on crispy noodles, according to my wife. I settled on the green curry which was a wise decision.

I’m sure we will return in the not too distant future.

Seriously tasty authentic Thai food makes this pub really unique. Nice atmosphere and the owner is dead friendly too. Would recommend.

Great atmosphere and good food and staff very friendly

Will go again

Close to the castle and Falconry

Many thanks
