EXCELLENT Based on 353 reviews Posted on buntyhen01/06/2026Verified Excellent Sunday Lunch We enjoyed an excellent Sunday lunch at the White Horse. Our table was in the bar area. Decor is lovely and staff were very welcoming. A table of four, we enjoyed the roast beef x2 and roast chicken x2. The food was truly delicious and beautifully presented. We ordered a side dish of cauliflower cheese, which was a very generous portion and enough for 4. Portion sizes are perfect. We also managed a dessert each and again these were delicious. The pub was busy and staff coped well especially as there were a number of large parties. Staff are very professional, lovely to see Tom again.Posted on S J13/05/2026Verified Tasty piping hot food, plus 25% off meals if on a Wednesday & over 60 ! We were served by Erin who had such a lovely friendly smile and straightaway, made us feel very at ease. I wanted to change something on my starter, Erin checked, came straight back and said no problem…which is what you always want to hear. Service was timed to perfection, so no waiting around for next course & Erin check at a ‘appropriate’ time if everything was ok etc. Food arrived piping hot & looked very appetising & all three of our dishes were very tasty, including the extra side dishes, that were also good portions too. Father-in-law thought the pavlova he ordered was the best he has had and that really is “praise from Caesar” ! The manager was equally as friendly and helpful as after having such a lovely meal and such a good experience, we decided to enquire about Christmas food/bookings etc. In fact this lovely manager……when our little dog decided to leave a little package on the stones outside…and yes when your desperate for a doggy bag you never have one, went out to his car & got a small plastic bag from his boot for us to use…no we did not give it back to him (next time we go, will provide him with a new bag!). On top of this lovely experience, we also received a massive 25% off our meals because of being there on their weekly offer of “Golden Wednesdays” where 25% is taken off all meals for ages 60+ between 12pm to 15:00. Give The white horse a try…you really won’t be disappointed with their food or their friendly welcomePosted on Erin L05/05/2026Verified Amazing food and service We visited the White horse for Sunday lunch while staying at the lodges down the road. The food was amazing and great portion sizes too. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. The decor is lovely and has a lovely feel to the place. I loved the fact they had the pubs name and picture on the water bottles and glasses provided. The food was brought out very efficiently and we didn't have long to wait at all. I'd highly recommend a visit.Posted on Izzy M25/04/2026Verified Great service, lovely atmosphere We’d originally gone to a pub down the road but didn’t feel very welcome so decided to drive on. So glad we did! Both men who served us were very friendly and attentive, made us feel welcome and both made a genuine impression of wanting to give good service. The meal was fairly priced, tasted great and came out super fast and the pub itself had lovely decor and a warm atmosphere. Definitely recommend eating here if you’re in the area as opposed to other places, brilliant service and we both left very happy having had a good evening! Thank youPosted on Kim N22/04/2026Verified What a find! What a beautiful place this is. Tom and his team were outstanding! The hospitality we received from the moment we walked in was 5*. Being a visitor to this town for the first time, we were not sure what to expect. The food was delicious and such care with presentation was given. All I can say is we will definitely be back!Posted on Fitz A18/04/2026Verified Fantastic lunch! Visited on a whim and proceeded to have one of the best lunches ever. Amazing food in a beautifully-decorated place that was clean and modern, but had enough period features left to avoid it feeling stuffy. Staff were attentive and accomadating of the multiple dietary requirements in the party. Not only was the food spectacular (in particular I recommend the pan-seared chicken), but we were informed as we left that the menu was new, making the quality all the more impressive. We'll definitely be adding the White Horse into our lunch rotation!Posted on Phil M05/04/2026Verified Steak Night Turned up without a booking and it was steak night! But Tom got us in and we had a faultless meal. Melt in your mouth steak and chips that were crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. Plus some super sauces. Backed up by some beer from the Wolfe Brewery, and top wines, thanks guys what a great team. Many thanks Phil and LynPosted on Kathy T01/04/2026Verified Date night with kids Date night with my daughter and one of my sons, we did a themed night this month it was a steak night. We didn’t have a starter we went for the nibbles, i love olives, don’t know where they get them from but I’ve never had one so big and tasty, bread lovely, truffles awesome x Main course, steak with a choice of accompaniments, steak cooked to perfection , sauces and a side included, the three of us ordered different sides and shared. Service spot on, staff lovely. Checking their themed nights before we left because we will definitely be back xPosted on Ann A29/03/2026Verified Another amazing meal at the White Horse Inn, couldn’t fault it. Absolutely brilliant meal. The starters we had were delicious, I had the Cheese Soufflé and it was amazing. My husband had the beef ragu and said it was the best starter ever and our granddaughter and her boyfriend had a meat platter starter and said how good it was. For mains my granddaughter and I had the Mussels and frites so yummy and the boys had the ham egg and chips and couldn’t stop raving about them. Not your typical ham egg and chips but a very delicious upgrade being Braised Ham Collar which was melt in the mouth , a delicious Mustard Sauce and a perfectly fried egg as well as the most amazing rosti chips. We were served by Matt who as usual was very efficient attentive and lovely as well as a young lady who was obviously trained by Matt and Tom as she too was lovely and an asset to them.
