Questions about eventsA local worth keeping
The White Horse Inn has long been part of life on Market Street. Its next chapter with Lapen Inns brings together a village pub, Nepalese cooking, familiar favourites and room for conversation.
The Grade II-listed inn has eighteenth-century roots and a place in Swavesey's everyday life. Its history, the village's independent campaign to preserve it and our Lapen Inns approach to hospitality each have a part in the story.
