The White Horse in Boughton-under-Blean is a historic pub restaurant with more than its fair share to offer guests. Not only is this ancient coaching inn mentioned in Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales, but its location in a glorious village surrounded by hop field lined walksing routes to Mount Ephraim Gardens and the site of The Peasant’s Last Revolt recommend this excellent stop before one even ventures inside.
As you may well hope, The White Horse is beautifully traditional inside, with roaring log fires, low-beamed ceilings and a cosy, intimate feel. Meanwhile, outside beautiful landscaping has turned a pleasant pub garden in to an Englishman’s dream.
Our chef, Joe Oxberry, is the man creating quite a stir in the kitchen. Oxberry's locally sourced British food has elevated The White Horse to gastropub levels with his combination of creativity and talent, providing guests with the opportunity to enjoy high level food in the most comfortable of atmospheres. Sunday lunches take place weekly and jazz suppers are a regular occassion featuring award-winning vocalists Christine Tobin and Georgia Mancio.
Located in a village but within easy reach of many local attractions such as Canterbury Cathedral, Dover and Leeds Castle, golf courses, beaches, nature reserves and Howletts Nature Reserve, the White Horse is an ideal place to stay to explore the wonderful Kent countryside. And if walking, there are many stunning walking routes on our doorstep. We welcome walkers, cyclists, dogs and families!
Our 13 bedrooms are beautiful with everything you would expect from a modern hotel, including free wi-fi, extensive parking, disabled access, restaurant and bar. We welcome dogs in two of our rooms, and have two family suites.
The combination of the pub’s history and first-class service guarantees return visits.

What our customers say:
"The staff were great - so friendly and accommodating, nothing was too much trouble. The food was excellent - hearty breakfasts and on one night a lovely two course dinner with wine with great choice of food. Our (upgraded) room was light and airy and suprisingly quiet as the hotel was full, having egyptian cotton sheets and a very comfortable bed" Baytreewhite October 2011
