The White Horse, the much-loved pub in the picturesque village of Bempton, is under new management, promising some exciting changes for locals and visitors alike.
This charming English pub, with its iconic blue-tiled roof, has long been a favourite watering hole, known for its warm atmosphere, great food and friendly service.
Set against the backdrop of the stunning Bempton cliffs – which are home to RSPB Bempton and host hundreds of thousands of seabirds, including puffins and gannets – visitors
can enjoy delightful country walks and witness a diverse range of wildlife,
showcasing the best of British nature.
The combination of the pub’s
inviting and laid back ambiance and the surrounding natural beauty makes
it a must-visit destination.
The new management team, comprised of head chef Steve Dixon and his wife Vicky, along with Simon Gaines and his wife Elaine, have taken over from the previous owners, Charlie and Steph Artley, who have retired.
They bring with them a wealth of experience and passion for the hospitality industry.
Prior to this the pub was run by Arthur and Phyl Woodhouse.

the culinary scene in Bridlington.

a deep connection with the pub and its patrons.

His extensive experience in the local
area gives him a unique understanding
of what the community craves in terms of dining options.
Vicky – Steve’s wife – has spent over 33
years working in hairdressing.
She will now focus on the food side of the business, ensuring that every dish served at the pub is of the highest quality.
Together, they are committed to creating a welcoming environment that reflects the essence of Bempton.
Simon Gaines joins the team with over 30 years of experience in pub management across the UK.
His extensive background and
knowledge in the industry will be an
invaluable asset to the pub.
Elaine, Simon’s wife, complements the team with her 35 years of experience as a registered nurse in Scarborough,
bringing a caring touch to their new
venture.
