Nellie’s

This pub is brilliant. My sister and I were first taken there by our Dad and Uncle on a nostalgic trip for them. They had frequented it as if they were locals during their teens and early twenties. What strikes me, is that it is one of those pubs that has resisted unnecessary change to keep up with the latest trends. It is genuinely a great pub and has been for a number of years. The wonky floors, traditional gas lights and endless rooms around a corner. there will always be somewhere to sit, perch, stand, loiter, whenever you go. A great pub and we could both understand the place it held in our Dad and Uncle’s hearts as it’s filled with history memories and random stories. We always find an excuse to go whenever we are in the area.

The best pub I have ever been to. Easily a good enough excuse to jump on the bus to Beverley for an afternoon of drinking with affable old men about everything and nothing in particular.
The dark, dingy atmosphere compliments the Sam Smiths beer very well.
A wonderful place, hope it keeps thriving.

Worth a visit if only for the gaslights and roaring fires. The pub is deservedly popular although I have experienced poor service and not-​so-​good beer. I should say that this was several years ago. But the beer’s cheap and the pub has a great atmosphere.

The renowned White Horse Inn (fondly known as Nellie’s) is a series of tiny rooms. A house converted? Uneven flagstones, furnitue that does not in anyw ay match and could have come from jumble sales, gas lights, tiny windows. I LOVE Nellies! It even has a well in the car park.
It was in use as an Inn during 1666 when an emissary of King Charles II used it to hold office whilst on official business.
Why is it Nellies when it is really The White Horse and it’s sign is a rocking horse? Well Francis Collinson had a large family, and during the years prior to 1976, the pub was run by his unmarried sons and daughters. In relative recent times, there were five sisters and two brothers involved in the running of the Pub — Miss Nellie being the licensee. It was during her reign that The White Horse became known as ‘Nellies’. I have talked to people who knew her and said she was a scary and formidable character.
Apparently, in her will, she said it must never be altered and so still has gas lights. I was told they had to go to court a few decades ago to get permission for electric pubs because until then the beer came in jugs.
Never had the food but hear it’s great. The beer is good and only a couple of quid a pint or less. GO!
