White Horse Westbury-on-Trym open again
One of Bristol’s most popular pub restaurants, The White Horse in Westbury-on-Trym, has reopened under new experienced management after being closed for several weeks.
The pub, popular for its Sunday lunches and quality food, has been taken on by the team that run one of Bristol’s oldest pubs, Ye Shakespeare, and helped to establish restaurants including Mint Room and 4,500 Miles From Delhi in the city.
The 14 existing staff, including the chefs, have been retained and the White Horse in High Street, will continue to concentrate on high quality food for the community.
Srinivas Murthy, who leads the new management team, said: “We expect to introduce some changes over time but initially we want to get The White Horse back open with the same menu as before and welcome the regular customers back.
“We are hoping there will be demand for us to extend opening to Tuesdays and we plan to introduce afternoon teas. We want to talk to customers about the food they would like to see served here. The pub dates back to the 17th century and has always been a popular place for people from Westbury, Henleaze and Clifton to come and enjoy good food in a great atmosphere.”
The pub was closed for three weeks after the previous management departed and the Bristol-based team that have taken over have a strong track record of managing restaurants and pubs.
Ye Shakespeare is a drinks-led pub while The White Horse is known for its quality food. Both have long histories of serving their local communities.
