NEW OPENING - The Cart and Horses, Kings Worthy

The Cart and Horses is a beautiful country pub located in the village of Kings Worthy, approximately 2 miles Northeast of Winchester. Plans to renovate are underway to make the most of this 18th Century pub, reinstating the beautiful gardens for an al-fresco spot to dine and transforming the inside space with roaring fires and dedicated areas from cosy drinking ’nooks’ to private dining. The pub’s highlight will be its carefully crafted menu featuring local organic British produce including exceptional Sunday roasts through to seasonal specials.
