The south part of the market place, on the corner of High Street, was filled before 1635 by a building which later became the White Horse inn

To the south the building on the corner of High Street was used as part of the Talbot in 1642 (fn. 51) and had taken the sign of the White Horse by 1674 to become an important meeting place and, in the late 18th century, a contender for the town's coaching trade.

White Horse survived by the mid 1960s and remained open in 1988

A friendly society was meeting at the White Horse inn in 1809

The White Horse (High Street, Mitcheldean, Gloucestershire) . The White Horse is on the B4224 as you drive through the village. The beers on at the time were Boddingtons, Fullers London Pride and a guest ale. All were served fine, though sparklers needed to be removed. As for food there are rolls and hot pasties available plus crisps. The White Horse is a popular village local serving the best real ale in Mitcheldean. It was once an old coaching pub which once faced a rival across the road. That pub has now gone, but is remembered in the archway opposite. The inside of the pub has two bars and the public bar has a tiled floor. Children on their best behaviour are welcome. For the summer there is a beer garden. There is no accommodation
