The White Horses Hotel, Brighton

The White Horse advertises itself as a hotel, restaurant and bar and the set tables at the rear and ample parking would make one think that it leans towards dry sales. Thankfully the front bar area is separate from the rear dining area, but it is made up of low and high tables along with sofas so I decided to sit at the bar. I’m glad that I did as the barman was very friendly and I had a good view of the plasma screen showing Sky Sports. A standard draught selection was available during my recent midweek evening visit and three hand pumps were drawing Greene King IPA, Old Speckled Hen and White Horse Ale. I opted for the Guinness and thought that it was very good. I’m not sure if there is any garden of sorts out the back, but the signs directing smokers pointed to the entrance. This isn’t a pub that I would go out of my way for as I like a more traditional venue, but I had a better time than I though it would have and a return visit is not out of the question.
