Food at The White Horse
At The White Horse Inn we pride ourselves on sourcing the finest quality ingredients from as local as possible. Everything on our menu is handmade on the premises in order to make sure your meal is as enjoyable as possible.
CHEESE
The cheeses on offer at The White Horse Inn are all sourced from within 6 miles of the pub. Firstly we have Lyburn Farmhouse Cheeses who have won many awards for their excellent range of cheeses, all made with their own cows' milk. Even closer to home we have Loosehanger Farmhouse Cheeses, who are a stone's throw away at a mere 3 miles from here. Both Lyburn and Loosehanger are highly decorated for their produce from the New Forest Marque*. Many of Lyburn's cheeses have received Gold, Silver and Bronze awards, and more notably their Stoney Cross cheese (available here at The White Horse) has received a 3 Star gold Award for excellence at The Great Taste Awards. Not to be outdone, Loosehanger is proud to have recently been awarded the New Forest Marque Producer of the Year.
EGGS
Our eggs could only be closer if we laid them ourselves! Sourced from less than a mile away here in Downton, Richard's eggs take some beating. They are all from organic, free range, corn fed chickens and are pretty damn tasty.
* The development of the New Forest Marque® means that people can choose food and goods which have been grown, reared, caught, brewed or produced in the New Forest area. It allows local producers to market their produce under a collective and easily identifiable New Forest symbol, whilst at the same time reassuring consumers about the traceability of the food they buy.
The New Forest Marque provides a trusted, audited, seal of approval to our customers on the quality of our produce.
