Blue Scrumpy left this review about The White Horse Inn
Situated at the junction of 4 different country roads, where there is a rather confusing layout, the White Horse Inn also has a car park, which effectively creates a 5th exit from the junction. This appears to be "shared" with some kind of club opposite. Although club customers have to park on one side and pub customers on the other, as signs clearly point out. The pub has an impressive White Horse painted onto its red tiled roof.
The horseshoe-shaped bar is ahead of you as you enter, with the left-hand side used by drinkers and the right-hand side used by diners. Hops above the bar create a homely welcome. The bar area has a dartboard and lots of old motoring signs on the walls. There is also a piano sitting next to a fireplace with a wood burner. The burner was lit despite it being May. Music was playing at an acceptable volume and dogs are welcome. There are also a couple of bench tables to the front for outdoor drinking and viewing of the junction.
At the bar, Harvey's Sussex Best Bitter is a regular. Guests for our visit were Long Man Copper Hop & Three Acre Galaxy's Rain. The cider was Thatcher's Gold. Beavertown Neck Oil was the pick of the keg options. I've yet to find a decent Three Acre beer yet and my Galaxy's Rain was no exception. I'd like to think that this was just the beer itself, rather than the way it had been kept, as the pub can be found in the Good Beer Guide.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The White Horse Inn
Very attractive pub in the centre of this quiet village, with the sign painted on the roof tiles. The large south-facing windows must usually be a blessing, but on a scorching September day, everywhere very hot, both inside and out on the front picnic benches. Beer garden to rear. Light but plainly decorated U-shaped layout, with the bar on one side and a dining area on the other. Harvey's, Long Man's Rising Giant and Lakedown Sussex Pale (£4.60).

The White Horse Inn is located in the small village of Bodle Street Green, which is pretty much in the middle of nowhere. Located on a small roundabout, I saw two vehicles during my 30 minute visit, and one was a brewery truck that had come to restock the pub’s cellar. The wooden floored interior is U-shaped with a large round table in the window to the right of the central entrance and more seating up the right-hand side of the pub. On the right-hand wall is a burner and against the rear wall is a stack of logs. In the centre of the pub is an L-shaped bar counter that faces the entrance and a fireplace that sits next to a piano on the left-hand wall. On the rear wall is a dartboard. Open mic acoustics are held here every Tuesday evening, note that the pub is closed on Mondays and closes early at 16:00 on Sundays. There are a couple of picnic tables out the front and there is a car park next to the village hall just to the south.
Available on keg were Stella, Corona and Stowford Press cider alongside Camden Hells and Beavertown’s Neck Oil and Bones Lager. The three hand pumps were drawing Harvey’s Best, Long Man Brewery’s Rising Giant and Lakedown Brewing’s Sussex Pale. The service was very friendly, but the location of this pub dictates that I’ll probably never visit again.
