Meet The Owner

After a successful 10-year stint as a ship broker, Alex Whyte is swapping the hustle and bustle of the City of London for the serenity of Rogate, West Sussex. 

For recently married Alex it was love at first sight when he stumbled across The White Horse which had been closed for three years. ‘Immediately I could see the potential of this grand old pub and the beauty of the surrounding area’ Alex said. He then set about purchasing the freehold interest in the property and with the help of a great team he has spent nearly a year bringing the pub back to its former glory. Alex said, ‘it’s a long process but I believe we have re-created a truly rewarding destination enhanced by excellent food, fine beverages and charming, homely brand-new accommodation.’

Now open The White Horse offers a hugely welcoming environment with Alex ready to greet you.
