The White Horse is Dover’s oldest pub, steeped in history and ideally positioned at the foot of the Castle walls, close to the Eastern Docks, leisure centre and new shopping development. Surrounded by guest houses and residential housing, it benefits from both local trade and increased visitor footfall during the summer months.

Renowned as the ‘Channel Swimmers’ pub’, its standout feature is the hundreds of names inscribed across the walls, celebrating those who have completed the iconic swim and giving the pub a truly unique identity.

Internally, the pub offers a traditional bar divided into three distinct areas, all creating a cosy and welcoming atmosphere. A new single bar servery was installed in 2021, complemented by wood-stained flooring in the main bar area, enhancing its classic feel.

The business currently draws a loyal local customer base, alongside seasonal visitors, and presents an excellent opportunity for a new operator to build on its strong foundations. A focus on delivering high-quality food and drinks will help sustain and grow trade while preserving the pub’s unique heritage and character.
