White Horse

Head up Bury New Road into Prestwich and you'll find yourself in the kind of pub that actually serves the community rather than performing for it. The White Horse is exactly what you want from a local—unfussy, welcoming, and genuinely focused on doing the basics brilliantly. You're looking at a solid selection of Joseph Holt's own brews on tap, reasonably priced pints, and the sort of food that doesn't pretend to be anything fancier than it is. It's the place where regulars know the staff by name, where you can actually have a conversation without shouting, and where you won't feel out of place whether you're popping in for a quick drink or settling in for the afternoon.
