Just could not believe my luck. Random location, middle of no-where off A32, but what a find. Went for sunday lunch. About £10 a head but the food was well made with good portions. We sat in the old part of the pub as it has bags of character. It has a large restaraunt annexxed onto the side of the pub but we felt that was a bit boring.

Big old pub in remote somewhat bleak spot up on the downs. Popular name (no-one calls it the White Horse) derives from empty pub sign which swings grimly out on the main road. Two bars and restaurant, lots of room outside and in. The two snug bars inside, candle-lit and cluttered with old furniture have a dark, Jacobean feel which, in winter, warmed by open fires, is wonderfully welcoming. Can seem less so on a summer's day, but a big sprawling garden makes up for that. A brighter and lighter restaurant has been extended at the back. Food is traditional pub stuff but generally done well (though it seems to have its off nights) with excellent ingredients (Cornish scallops, Scottish mussels or O'Hagan's celebrated sausages), a good repertoire of standards backed up by regularly changing specials. Excellent range of ales including its own No-Name bitter. Has plenty of fans, including (once upon a time)the poet Edward Thomas who was a regular and made it the subject of 'Up in the Wind', and celebrated chef and undoubted food enthusiast Antonio Carluccio. Excellent beerfest every summer with food, bands, camping available for weekend revellers and other events through the year (check the listings). Recommended. Hard to find though: west from Petersfield towards Steep, follow the road as it winds up Stoner Hill. A mile or so past the Trooper Inn, look for the empty sign at the roadside and turn right. The pub is up a track on the right after 100 yards or so. More reviews like this at www.mypetersfield.co.uk.
