Our Story
The Horse Shepshed, formerly known as the White Horse, is one of the oldest public houses in Shepshed, with a rich history dating back many years. In 2014, the premises were taken over by two experienced entrepreneurs, Lee and Lloyd, who brought their extensive backgrounds in pub management and catering to the table. With a passion for delivering exceptional customer experiences, they set about refurbishing the interior, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere that complements our beautifully restored country pub.
