About

The White Horse should lead this file because the official site presents one of Dorking's clearest complete pub propositions: centuries of character, strong food, cocktails, wine, dog-friendly credentials and an unmistakably central setting. It is a bigger-name pub than most of the field for good reason. That mix of recognition and quality makes it the easiest headline pick.
