LANDLORD INVESTMENT PLANNED
The White Horse Inn is a traditional 18th‑century coaching inn full of character and local heritage. Ideally positioned just a short walk from Launceston town centre, the pub benefits from excellent visibility and easy access for both locals and visitors. Its location near Launceston Castle—only a short walk down the hill—helps attract steady tourist footfall throughout the year.
Situated on the gateway between Devon and Cornwall, the White Horse is perfectly placed for travellers exploring the region’s major attractions. This gives the business a healthy blend of local trade, tourism, and passing traffic. The pub offers a mix of quiet, cosy spaces and livelier social areas, appealing to a broad customer base.
Internally, a full refurbishment of the front bar and toilets, the installation of a new Carvery servery within the conservatory, and a refresh of the internal trading areas to modernise the look while retaining the building’s character.
Externally, the plans include a new colour scheme, updated signage, and a general refresh to strengthen the pub’s roadside presence and overall visual impact.
Together, these upgrades will help reposition the White Horse as a standout venue in the town, increasing its appeal to both existing and new customers.
The private accommodation includes three bedrooms, a lounge, a kitchen, and a bathroom, providing comfortable living space for the operator.

Trading style
The White Horse caters to a wide variety of customer occasions, from relaxed after‑work drinks to lively weekend nights out. Its restaurant and function room areas provide the flexibility to host family gatherings, celebrations, and special events, while also meeting strong demand for a quality pub menu throughout the week and the ever‑popular weekend Carvery. The pub also benefits from a large on‑site car park, making it easily accessible for both locals and visitors and supporting higher‑volume trade during busy periods. Already open and trading well, the White Horse offers an excellent opportunity for a new tenant partner to take on a thriving business and confidently drive it into its next phase of growth.
The ideal applicant will be an experienced publican with the capability and confidence to manage a large, busy town‑centre pub with multiple trading areas, including a restaurant and function spaces. They should bring strong operational skills, a passion for delivering great hospitality, and the commercial awareness needed to maximise both food and drink opportunities. A forward‑thinking approach to business development is essential, particularly given the site's potential for future expansion, including the possibility of converting some upper floors into letting rooms. This pub would suit a hands‑on operator who thrives in a dynamic environment and is ready to take a well‑established pub to the next stage of its growth.
