Situated in the small village of Empingham, close to the magnificent Shores of Rutland Water.
Although our passion is for the food, The White Horse is faithful to its roots as a traditional village pub where people can wonder in with walking boots and dogs to enjoy food, good company as well as fine ales, wine and food.
We hope you will choose to visit The White Horse where our happy team of local staff look forward to getting to know you.
The White Horse Bar has been completely refurbished to allow a previously under-used area to become the heart of the pub. With a welcoming log fire, comfy armchairs to read the newspapers and magazines available and Freeview TV shown, this relaxed informal space is perfect to while away a few hours.
The quality and condition of our beers and wines is hugely important to us.
The White Horse will always have a minimum of 3 cask ales on draft.

We needed a quick meal enroute home and this pub was open just after Christmas. Had scampi and chips with a 1/2 beer. Perfect bar snack and dogs were allowed too.
I’ve been here a few times now and wow! The food was absolutely beautiful: the burgers are beautifully cooked, the pizza’s are some of the best I’ve ever had (better than Dominos in my opinion), and the brownie is to die for. I found the service to be both friendly and efficient. I didn’t feel at all ignored but I also didn’t feel hovered over and it was a perfect balance. My only complaint is that I can’t go every day! Well done to all the management and staff for creating such a treasure of a village pub :)
Always passed by this place on the way to somewhere else. This time we were on our way back and needed dinner. I'm glad we stopped! Warm welcome from staff. Taken to a window table with views over the village. Massive choice on the menu. My wife chose the fish and chips. I and our son chose pizzas. Considering we had just been on a seaside holiday the fish and chips were better than we'd had by the sea. The pizzas were on clearly hand made bases, with very full toppings. All meals were very tasty. Excellent value as well. We'll be stopping off again in the future. Recommended.
Excellent hostility, which is run by a great landlord and his staff. The food was freshly cooked and very tasty, and the chips were absolutely fantastic. Portions are a good size, and prices are really reasonable compared to elsewhere for inferior offerings. We absolutely loved our lunch and hope to make a return visit before too long.
The new management and staff have done any amazing job getting the place back to a traditional looking pub. My partner and I stopped in for a meal and were greeted by very friendly staff. Ordered the burger and it was the best burger we've ever had. Top marks to all the management and staff for giving us our village pub back and. Service, food and atmosphere 5* 😁
