At The Horse Pub, we’ve always believed that a pub is more than just a place to grab a pint – it’s a cornerstone of the community. Whether it’s through supporting local causes, bringing people together for shared experiences, or simply offering a friendly place where everyone feels at home, we’re proud to be at the heart of village life.

Supporting local initiatives

One of our greatest passions is giving back to the community that has supported us for so long. From sponsoring local darts and cricket teams to hosting fundraising events and charity quizzes, we are always looking for ways to make a difference. We’ve proudly provided free venue hire for community events, and during challenging times, we’ve stepped in to deliver meals to underprivileged children and those in need.

Team that feels like family

Our pub wouldn’t be what it is without the incredible team behind the bar and in the kitchen. We foster a welcoming and supportive working environment, offering above-minimum wages, free meals, and flexible schedules to ensure our staff feel valued. Many of our team members return during university breaks or recommend friends to join, creating a close-knit family atmosphere that extends to our customers.

We also invest in training and mentorship, following the ethos of ‘Brilliant Basics, Magic Touches’ – ensuring every guest experiences warm, professional service with a personal touch.

Bringing people together

Beyond serving great food and drinks, The Horse is a place where friendships are made and stories are shared. We host book clubs, riding clubs, and social meet-ups, making it a gathering place for people of all ages and backgrounds. Whether it’s an impromptu chat at the bar or a lively themed night, the spirit of togetherness is what makes our pub truly special.

Looking forward

We’re always finding new ways to strengthen our ties with the community. For us, The Horse isn’t just a business – it’s a community. And we couldn’t do it without you.
