One star - A pub interior of special national historic interest
Listed status: II
Probably a seventeenth century building, this was a pub by 1838. Until the late 1970s, it was a single bar enterprise, the original being the left hand one with bare wood flooring and old fireplace and wall panelling; the counter and bar-back are difficult to date but may not be that old. The right hand bar, with a fine fireplace, is an opening-up into the former residential space whilst the incorporation of parts of the upper floor into the public area is quite recent (but very characterful).
This Pub serves 1 changing beer (Guest beers are seasonal Fullers ales or from the Fuller's list.) and 3 regular beers.
White Horse, Hertford
