White Horse
12 Greenside, Waterbeach, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB25 9HP
A GREAT COMMUNITY VILLAGE PUB
The White Horse is situated at the centre of Waterbeach opposite the green. The pub trades at an approximate split of 60/40 in favour of food. We are looking for an new partner who would ideally be known locally who wants to offer a family dining/pub experience and can capture the imagination of the local community. There is also an opportunity to alter the offer on the peak trade sessions and look to attract people from a wider area including Cambridge with an eclectic food offering and events being held weekly. We expect the new partner to focus more on bringing the community back and should look to appeal to families around the area due to the large garden space.

A family or couple with good front and back of house experience could be very successful at the White Horse, although those without experience but with great transferable skills would also be considered.
