About Us
The White Horse is an 18th-century country pub known for its distinctive ‘Baston blue’ exterior, relaxed atmosphere and warm countryside hospitality.
Our Story
Originally known as The Spinning Wheel, the pub was lovingly restored by the Richardson family, third-generation local arable farmers. Reopening in 2013 under its original name, The White Horse, it has since become a cherished part of Thetford Farm Estate.
Our Food
Today, The White Horse blends the character of a traditional village pub with a more refined, contemporary feel. Seasonal food, carefully chosen wines, craft ales and welcoming interiors create a place designed for long lunches, relaxed evenings and gathering with friends and family.
Meet the Chef
Corneliu joined The White Horse in early summer 2025, bringing a distinctive culinary flair to the kitchen. His passion for British cuisine with a Mediterranean twist is reflected in his carefully curated dishes. With extensive experience, he is eager to drive the kitchen forward and continually innovate. Often found listening to Pavarotti while preparing his menus, Corneliu always works with a big smile, sharing his enthusiasm with the team!
The Experience
Life at The White Horse is designed to be enjoyed slowly. From relaxed midweek suppers and long Sunday lunches to spontaneous drinks in the garden and evenings gathered around the table, the pub is a place to settle into and stay awhile.
Join our team
We are always looking for passionate, friendly and hardworking people to become part of The White Horse team. From front of house and bar service to kitchen roles, we value people who genuinely care about hospitality and creating memorable experiences for our guests.

Where Good Food and Great Friends Meet
Visit Us
Here at The White Horse, we believe that the pub is at the heart of the community. It is where people come to plan events, share stories, and make memories we are proud to support. We have wine tasting, committee meetings to local cricket and rugby team awards, quiz nights and charity events including raising money at the Church Harvest Auction. There is always something to look forward to including the fantastic Baston Beats Weekend, and who can forget our annual family favourite, the legendary Halloween Hunt & Haunt.
We are also proud to support amazing local charities close to our heart, such as Lincoln Support Rural Network who do so much good for others.
