The White Horse at Tattingstone

Welcome to The White Horse, a 17th Century Grade II listed Inn with restaurant, large beer garden and camp site in the picturesque village of Tattingstone, Suffolk.

This former village coaching Inn retains its classic look and still retains much of its original character.

Inside black beams, brick features, a log-burning stove and a bench seat set in an Inglenook paint a delightfully traditional picture and create a warm, relaxing atmosphere in which to enjoy good food, a drink or sit back and unwind.

The carved white horse which stands atop a tall pole outside the Inn was rescued from a hotel in Ipswich.

Another interesting external feature is the old hand pump which stands in front of the inn. For many years it supplied the Inn with water from a well.

Throughout the year, the White Horse plays host to a number of events including a Classic Car Rally - see our website for details and dates.

Opening times:
Monday to Thursday 12-3pm, 6-11pm
Friday and Saturday 12-11pm
Sunday 12-9.30pm
