The White Horse is a large pub just off Peckham Rye. I have only ever visited on Sunday, as its superb Sunday roast is a bit of a closely-guarded secret in Peckham.
The pub is divided into three areas - a bar at the front, with high tables and a pool table; a more traditional pub area in the middle; and a large function room at the back. The pub serves a decent range of ales (e.g. IPA, Deuchars) as well as the usual lagers and some good wines.
The roast lunch is extremely popular (especially with Peckham's pensioners!) so get there early - the pub opens at noon on Sunday. For £6.50 you get a large plate of roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, cauliflower and broccoli cheese, roast potatoes and 2 veg. There are also other roast meats available (on the day I visited - 24-Feb-08 - there was roast pork, chicken and rack of lamb available, as well as cod goujons and lasagne). The food is served school-dinners style from a hotplate on the bar.
Two words of warning - the pub doesn't take cards, and there isn't a vegetarian option available.
