Do you love the food in British-style pubs? Well, we have a restaurant here in Connecticut that offers you just that, and so much more. The White Horse Country Pub & Restaurant has been bringing classic dishes from the United Kingdom to Preston, Connecticut since 2009. We all know the first English colonists settled in Connecticut in 1633 when a group from the Plymouth Colony led by Captain William Holmes arrived in Windsor. But, did you know that many of our businesses and restaurants still offer that wonderful, traditional British feel and a menu that offers classic English dishes?

The British-themed White Horse Country Pub & Restaurant is located at 258 New Milford Turnpike in New Preston in Connecticut and is known for making the 'Most Whimsical English Pot Pie'. It is a definite must-stop if you are planning on dining in the area. Their pot pies are unique and divine with a puff pastry horse standing on the top of the pie that is filled with tender pieces of chicken, celery, carrots, peas, onions and herbs and then baked in a rich sauce. If you love British cuisine then you definitely need to try their signature dish. The menu also offers steakhouse shepherd's pie, pub steak, and slow-roasted salmon.

The White Horse Country Pub & Restaurant also grows most of it's own produce in organic fields, along with offering fresh meats and seafood dishes as well. ''The White Horse Country Pub & Restaurant is a stylish pub and restaurant in Connecticut that serves a variety of dishes that combine local and sustainable ingredients with flavors from the U.K. The restaurant has multiple dining rooms, patios, and fireplaces, and some say it has the best outdoor dining and fireside dining in the state.'' as stated on their official White Horse Country Pub & Restaurant website.
