The White Horse is a very attractive 15th century coaching house where it is reported that Charles I probably drank.  The pub is also thought to be haunted!  The building is Grade II listed in the Steyning conservation area.  The White Horse was originally a hotel where the stage coach left for Brighton.  We also housed HM Customs and Excise.  Unfortunately the hotel was burnt down in 1946 but the part left standing was turned into the pub and the stables were converted to the function room.  In the ladies toilets the old ring for tying up horses can still be found.  The White Horse is covered in ivy and the traditional black beams just show through.  The pub has preiously won both "West Sussex in Bloom" and the "Steyning in Bloom" competitions, with its mass of hanging baskets and tubs.  Situated at the top of Steyning High Street opposite the Old Mint, we lie at the bottom of the South Downs.  Steyning is only 7 miles from Worthing, 5 miles from Shoreham (the nearest beach) and 10 miles from Brighton.  This historical town, where they used to burn witches, is well worth a visit, as is the White Horse where old traditions are kept alive with events such as Morris dancing!  Why not pop in soon.
