Thelnetham White Horse
closed November 2019
opened 17th century
Hopton Rd, IP22 1JN
grid reference TM 014 782
A characterful 1800s built pub, in a remote location near the windmill. Well worth seeking out for food. Dog, family and "wellie" friendly, popular with walkers and cyclists. Two bar areas and restaurant. Monthly changing menu, featuring old favourites and some unusual dishes, using locally sourced ingredients. Wine stocked from Thelnetham vineyard. Ciders from local cider makers.
In February 2019 we heard that there is now no beer on tap being sold here at all, with only bottled beers available.
In November 2019 it was reported that the pub had closed permanently.
The pub is shown on this old OS map from about 1903 (interactive map)

The pub reopened late December 2012 after having been closed for a couple of years.
In the January 1981 edition of Last Orders*** it was reported that the White Horse was reopened in July 1979 after a closure of 5 years, by a new landlord, Malcolm. This free house was previously owned by Lacons and later Whitbread.
