Kaiser Chiefs’ frontman Ricky Wilson pulls pints at the Isle of Wight’s oldest pub!

Kaiser Chiefs' Ricky Wilson at the White Horse Inn, Isle of Wight

Kaiser Chiefs’ lead singer, Ricky Wilson, has recently taken to serving drinks at the White Horse Inn in Whitwell, demonstrating his support for this beloved rural establishment.

Typically seen captivating audiences on a global scale, in March 2025 the renowned musician opted for a leisurely getaway on the picturesque Isle of Wight with his family.

Ricky, who has previously been recognized as the best-dressed individual by NME, honed his skills in pouring the ideal pint of Yates’ Brewery’s ‘Dark Side of the Wight,’ a clever nod to Pink Floyd’s iconic album.

The 47-year-old also indulged in a substantial local seafood platter from the pub’s offerings.

Reduced Menu

We are presently offering a limited menu during less busy times to maintain the highest quality of food for our patrons. The decrease in demand for specific items has resulted in significant food waste.

We will update the menu as often as feasible, and it will be accessible at the bar during your visit to the pub.

We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this may cause, as we must take all necessary measures to ensure the pub’s profitability.

We kindly ask that you treat our staff with kindness, as they are not responsible for these changes.

We look forward to returning to a full menu at the earliest opportunity.
