The White Horse Inn
A quintessential village inn serving delicious food, a friendly welcome and three brand new stylish ensuite bedrooms. We're located on the edge of the North York Moors National Park only 4 miles from the World Famous Black Swan at Olstead. We serve delicious homemade food from locally sourced ingredients, local hand-pulled ales and a selection of great wines.

We also have 3 brand-new bed and breakfast rooms (please note access with up steep stairs due to the layout of the building). Both our restaurants can be booked as private dining rooms. Our Traditional restaurant can accommodate up to 16 and our new restaurant up to 12. They provide the ideal venue for family get togethers, parties or just catching up with friends.
Services
A proper Yorkshire pub with hand-pulled ales, fine wines & spirits and a warm friendly welcome. We're an 18th century country inn with crackling log fires, candlelit tables, flagstone floors and beamed ceilings. Enjoy our guest ales from local Yorkshire breweries including the Helmsley Brewing Co.
Our passion for homemade food produces consistently delicious dishes from locally sourced produce. Enjoy a varied menu derived from locally sourced ingredients. Meals can be served at tables within the bar or in one of our two separate restaurant rooms. We also have three outside beer garden areas with outdoor seating/tables.
There are a wealth of attractions surrounding Ampleforth. Even more local are lots of gorgeous scenic walks either through the woods, upon the hilltops or around or world famous private college, Ampleforth Abbey. Please note we are currently eagerly awaiting our new Chef to start in October when we will be reopening our restaurant Wednesday to Saturday evenings and Sunday Lunch.

Limited menu, overpriced food. Beer was the only saving grace, a lovely pint!

Great little pub. Didn't eat but the smell as you walked in made my mouth water.
Only recently taken over by a local couple.
Very friendly. John the landlord even dropped myself and friend back at our lodgings. Will return.

Stayed for the weekend in Summer 2020. Clean, bright room, fab bathroom. Service felt genuine and lovely. Food is outstanding, especially the breakfast. Do order the kipper- the best I had in a long awhile.
Lovely place. Would recommend highly to friends and family.

Very nice pub recently taken over in Ampleforth. Only had lunch but very good and could be tempted to overnight in one of their 3 letting rooms. If you call in ask about the funny floor!

We enjoyed our one night stay at the White Horse Inn. John and Dawn, who have just recently become the proprietors here, gave a warm welcome. Our room was lovely (tasteful and immaculate), and both the evening meal and breakfast we're top quality. Will visit again when in the area.

A pub that ticks all the boxes, 1700 Inn with open fireplace, wood beams, dog friendly, great beers and wines, and fabulous Sunday lunch, certainly the best Sunday dinner for miles, dietary requirements are no problem for the chef as he will adjust the menu for your requirements. Look forward to going back again.

Lovely country pub. Delicious grub. I had whitebait followed by roast beef and Yorkshire pudding, beef beautifully tender. Next time I shall order what food I want when booking to make sure I get it but the beef couldn't have been better. Great service. 10/10
