White Horse

Located amidst the charming half-timbered buildings of Shere, near the tranquil River Tillingbourne, stands The White Horse, a former 15th-century farmhouse and Grade II Listed Building. It is difficult to envision a more picturesque English country pub. The venue, where scenes from the beloved Hollywood film ‘The Holiday’ were filmed, exudes romance and allure. The quaint village of Shere has captivated the creators of several renowned films, including ‘Four Weddings and a Funeral’ and ‘Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason.’ The White Horse, steeped in history as a former smugglers’ pub, boasts authentic timbers believed to be from Nelson’s ship, ‘Victory.’ The pub offers a dog-friendly environment and features delightful nooks, a shaded courtyard for al fresco dining, and two private dining rooms for special events. Nestled in the heart of Surrey’s village of Shere, against the scenic North Downs, The White Horse is a must-visit for enthusiasts of traditional British country pubs. Initially a farmhouse constructed in the 15th century, it evolved over the years to become a thriving alehouse with its brewery. The addition of more rooms signified its growing success in the community.
