Historic Interest
First mentioned in documents of 1689 as White Horse Farm, it is believed that a public house has operated on this site since 1787. Having gone through many owners over the course of its long history, by the early 1990s the White Horse (as it was known at the time) had ended up part of the Whitbread empire. When a change in the law forced the UK's big brewers to dispose of many pubs, this one was purchased by its then tenants. The pub name was changed to the Overdraught as a humorous reference to the money they had to borrow to acquire it. Since then, the pub has gone on to change hands several more times but the "new" name has been retained.
This Pub serves 1 changing beer and 1 regular beer.
