About
The White Horse makes sense in the restaurants file because the official site is explicit about pub, dining and rooms, with seasonal and sustainability-sourced dishes in a much stronger food-led setting than a normal boozer. It is one of Dorking's most useful broad-appeal eating addresses.
That crossover strength makes it a very fair final inclusion.
