The White Horse Public House
The White Horse is on the West side of the A350 trunk
road. It is a Hall and Woodhouse tenanted public house
run by the landlord, Chris Sargent, as his own business.
The White Horse provides the normal range of public house
games and events currently including pool, darts, a quiz
team and, from time to time, musical entertainment. In
common with most pubs, food has become an increasingly
important part of its business; therefore, as part of a recent
major extension and refurbishment, the dining area and
patio have been expanded.

The Prince of Wales
and Duchess of
Cornwall drop in
The royal couple were at the
White Horse pub in Stourpaine
near Blandford during a one-day
visit to Dorset on 27 May 2011.
The Prince had a half-pint of
local Firkin Fox ale and joked:
"What time is it? Am I allowed
to?"
As president of Business in the
Community, the Prince was
supporting its Pub is the Hub
programme: the initiative
encourages rural pub owners to
diversify to provide services and
support that would otherwise
have been lost from rural
communities.
The pub's Village Shop which
opened five weeks earlier, sells
local produce and also houses
the Post Office service two
mornings a week. It also acts as
a Community Centre with a
book swap area, pool and darts
teams and a Senior Citizens
Lunch Club.
