| Two visits this week! The Tring Brewery mild was so good, as was the Tim Taylor, and so I had to go back for a second visit. A marvellous pub - 7/10. 5thearlofwimbourne - 14 Apr 2007 13:49 |
| A true oasis in Dover. The landlord (Jack) & landlady (Jill) are excellent knowledgeable hosts in this lively traditional and unpretentious pub. You can see Jack & Jill really take pride in what they do as the White Horse is immaculately kept. The White Horse is one of Dover’s oldest surviving public houses, the one time haunt of smugglers and Customs men, has changed little today. The locals, many have migrated from the Mogul and more recently Blakes, are friendly and come from a good cross section of Dover society. If you are ‘lucky’ you might be treated to an impromptu rendition of songs from the die-hards of Dover Rugby Club on a weekend. In the summer months Channel swimmers come to adorn the pub walls with their aquatic conquest. There is a quick turnaround of well-selected real ales from the length and breadth of Britain. Timothy Taylor ‘Landlord’ is the regular pump beer and is joined by three varied guest ales. Biddendens or guest ciders are also available from the keg. The White Horse, which is situated close to the historic Dover castle and Dover Eastern Docks, is well worth a visit if you are in the area. Lambo - 22 Mar 2007 19:48 |
| Paid a visit last night for the first time for many a long year. Bare floor boards and scrawlings various on the ceiling and walls are the main feature of this excellent, friendly, one-bar pub. The Tim Taylor Landlord was in excellent condition. Also available were Vale Brewery "Special" and Cotleigh "Kookaburra". A thoroughly enjoyable, albeit brief, visit as there were "other fish to fry". A deserved 7/10. 5thearlofwimbourne - 8 Mar 2007 13:15 |

| This was a nice and quite friendly pub, and has names of all the people who have swum the channel on the ceiling and wall. They gave us free nuts, and it was in a nice location close to the remains of a ruined church.... rlm - 28 Mar 2006 22:19 |
