The White Horse
About
Nestled on the tidal marshland coastline of North Norfolk, The White Horse is a celebrated gastro‑pub, award‑winning 2‑AA rosette seafood restaurant and cosy coastal hotel. Its charming rooms boast contemporary design, sea‑inspired colours and private terraces overlooking the marsh, while the hotel’s multiple dining venues – the conservatory, locals bar, and Marshside – offer stunning beachfront views, seasonal menus led by local fishers, and a relaxed yet elegant atmosphere. With a commitment to sustainability, the Inn sources ingredients from nearby farms, runs a smokehouse for fresh salmon, and operates on 100 % renewable energy. Hotel guests benefit from dog‑friendly rooms, a free breakfast, and 24‑hour reception, while restaurant patrons enjoy a menu that fuses Norfolk’s proud seafood traditions with innovative coastal cooking. Whether you’re looking to unwind after a day on the sea, celebrate a special occasion, or simply sample the freshest oysters and mussels, The White Horse’s high‑quality service and picturesque setting make every visit memorable. A quick sunset walk along the Norfolk Coastal Path or a quiet evening on the terrace, listening to waves, is the perfect complement to the Inn’s culinary delights. The White Horse is open daily to all guests: the restaurant and bar welcome diners from 12pm to 8pm Monday‑Thursday and 9pm on Friday and Saturday; the Marshside area stays open from 12pm to 9pm throughout the week, weather‑dependent.
