Dorking: 13th Century White Horse pub reopens after £4m refurbishment

The White Horse pub dates back to 1278

A 13th Century inn has reopened in Surrey following a £4m refurbishment.

The Grade II listed White Horse on Dorking High Street dates back to 1278 and has been shut for several months.

New owner Heartwood Inns has renovated the inn's 56 bedrooms and restaurant and built an outside courtyard.

Heartwood chief executive Richard Ferrier said: "We know it's a cherished local pub on the high street, so it was hugely important to us to do it justice.

"We hope people in Dorking and beyond will fall in love with it all over again."
