Externally, there is a large beer garden, outside dining area, 2 garden bars and storage barn, together with ample car parking.

Business Potential
This is a fantastic opportunity for an owner operator business to continue with the high standards of food, drink & service that have been set by the current operators at the White Horse and grasp the opportunity through different incomes streams from quality Cask Ales, Wine, and Coffee, not to mention use of the land to the rear to grow the business further and gain potential extra income. With the pubs close proximity to main roads, Bedford, St Neots and many quality country villages there is a real opportunity to develop the business further. The pub needs to enhance the local reputation with good social media presence promoting the White Horse as the preferred place to visit to wine & dine. The Fair Maintainable Turnover of over £608,066 with a split of 33/67 wet/food and a rent of £36,000 leads to an estimated profit before drawings of £43,000 per year.
