Spring Summer Menu

new menu launching 15th April 2026

Summer dining by the sea has a rhythm all of its own. Longer days, lighter evenings and a table set just steps from the shoreline.

At The White Horses, our upcoming spring and summer menu brings that feeling to life. Expect lighter plates, bright flavours and a celebration of the best seasonal British produce, all served with a sweeping sea view across Rottingdean beach.

Whether you’re joining us after a coastal walk, settling in for a sun-filled lunch or easing into an evening by the water, this is food and drink curated for the season.

Join us and discover a new favourite spot for food and drinks in Rottingdean.

Moments made for summer dining

Summer dining isn’t just about what’s on the plate. It’s about how the day unfolds.
A late lunch that turns into early evening drinks.
A relaxed catch-up that becomes dinner without much planning at all.
A table by the window or on our outdoor terrace, where the sea air drifts in and the hours seem to slow.
Here, you can take your time. Graze, gather and enjoy the simple pleasure of good food, good company and a setting that does the rest.

Drinks by the sea

When the sun’s out and the terrace calls, there’s only one thing for it.

A crisp glass of something cold. A well-poured pint. A cocktail that feels like the start of the weekend, even if it’s only Wednesday.

Our bar champions local producers alongside much-loved classics, giving you plenty to explore, whether you’re toasting a special occasion or simply marking the moment.

As the evenings stretch longer, there’s nowhere better to settle in than by the sea, drink in hand, watching the light dance across the water.

A dining destination worth discovering

Perched right on Rottingdean’s beachfront, The White Horses offers something a little different.

Here, you’re never far from the water. Sea views stretch out before you. Coastal walks begin on our doorstep. And the buzz of Brighton sits just along the shore, close enough to reach, yet far enough to feel a world away.

It’s this balance that makes dining here feel special. A place to pause, to reconnect, and to enjoy delicious food in a setting that makes for the perfect pairing.

Come for the menu. Stay for the view. Return for the feeling.
