the CAMPAIGN
AIM
- To preserve The White Horse public house and return it to use as a country pub/ cafe/ restaurant serving Kimpton village and its surrounding community
VISION
To create:
- A food-led pub serving locally sourced traditional ales, other drinks and quality food from the pub kitchen
- A daytime café service offering quality coffee, tea and refreshments to the many walkers and cyclists who use the footpaths and cycling routes around the village
- A social hub for the village and its numerous clubs and societies
PLAN
- Purchase and renovate The White Horse through a Community Benefit Society with funds raised through community share investment, complemented by additional grant funding from various local and national schemes
- Maintain an open and constructive dialogue with the owner to negotiate purchase of the pub and seek to pay a fair price for the freehold in line with its market value as a pub
- Campaign to protect The White Horse status as an Asset of Community Value, Grade 2 listed building and its designated planning use class as a pub
- Restore the image of this precious conservation area by renovating the pub’s High St frontage – the moment freehold is acquired
