The White Horse in Ashford - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

A nice place, a relaxed atmosphere and a very friendly welcome. As French we didn't know the pubs but this one is magnificent.

Do yourself a favour and have the seafood platter. It's fresh, delicious and a really really decent size. Lovely pub, pretty garden and attentive staff. Thank you - we will be back.

Very nice country pub the food and service was excellent and there's large bear garden and car park never had a bad meal here a must visit if your in area

Delicious food 😋 nicely sized portions. Friendly atmosphere. I highly recommend this place. I, for one, will definitely be returning, but don't just take my word for it. Try it for yourself.

Visited the pub whilst staying in the area. Bustling but not over busy on a Tuesday evening. Staff friendly and helpful. There was no long delay on food arrival. The steak and ale pie was really nice, and the slice of pie was massive. The only slight negative was the smokers who stood be the doors (front and rear), meaning their smoke wafts into the pub. We still enjoyed our meal, though, and would recommend a visit.

Nice little pub with great food. I had the steak and stilton pie which was very nice, would definitely recommend. Can get quite busy so call ahead. On the slightly more expensive side but not unreasonably so, as it is high quality food.

Good food, good service and nice pub although can be pricey!

Lovely 15th century pub serving pub grub. After ordering our meal we were given the dirty cutlery in a wet paper napkin. Two glasses of wine were ordered, they arrived in dirty glasses. The food was average. On visiting the ladies toilet it was found to be filthy. Mostly certainly wouldn't recommend.

Great village pub, spacious seating in restaurant so you didn't feel cramped. Excellent food and atmosphere

A popular and busy pub with great atmosphere, excellent service, and top food. I had ribeye steak and it was perfect. Great crust, exactly medium rare and melted like butter in my mouth. The service was excellent from all, but in particular Lucy, who dealt with the most of our table.

Came for Sunday roast today..greeted with happy friendly staff all of them...we had the best roast dinner very very tasty indeed we will be back 😋 😀

Every time we have been here the food, service, and atmosphere has been great. Even when we have had a very early dinner the staff chat to you and you don’t feel you’re eating at the library. I recommend this pub restaurant. We will be back and we will take people with us. Reliable and consistently good. Thanks to all the team.

Value for money in character alone. The food and service was excellent too. And a good selection of wines, lagers, and ales. The White Horse supplied a cosy conclusion to a wonderful walk in the King's Wood in Chilham.

We were recommended this pub by our taxi driver and what an excellent recommendation! If you are in the South east of England, you need to stop here. It dates back to the 15th century and the owner kept as much of the original decor as he could. It's absolutely gorgeous inside and you feel like you are time traveling back to that era. They serve local brews including several from Canterbury Ales which are quite good. And the food was excellent! I had the bacon and brie baguette which was easily the best food I had my entire trip to England. My dad had a burger which he said was on of the best he ever had. Plus they have a pub dog who is very friendly and begs for food lol.

Great unspoilt character! How pubs used to be! Friendly bar staff and good pub food great menu & vegetarian friendly. Good quality ingredients! Really enjoyed our evening and topped off by the band Three Shades of Grey. Would definitely return and keep this sorts of pubs alive!!

BEST SUNDAT ROAST IN KENT! I came here with friends and family for a Sunday roast, and this couldn't have been a more perfect experience. Very atmosphere, which made me feel very nostalgic to how pubs used to be - full of character (and no boring grey walls), with loads of books, antiques, local memorabilia, board games and a live folk band, providing the perfect backdrop. The menu was a proper traditional menu, and food done exceptionally well. I generally don't like going out for Sunday Roasts (as the portions and quality are never better than my own) but this pub far surpassed my expectations and was delicious and large portions! There was a beautiful huge inglenook fireplace for those colder days, as well as a lovely secure garden out the back, so on this particular warmer day, my children could run around. A very friendly pub dog kept my kids happy too. Staff were very friendly and attentive too. Right next to a lovely church and grounds, meant the kids could again have a little play near the premises. My 88 year old dad was very happy with the food portions and atmosphere - so all in all a great family experience - and usually difficult to please the whole family. So will definitely be coming back and would highly recommend! What a gem in a beautiful historic village.

What an outstanding pub. Offered to help with sorting our riders out with water when needed. Very polite and extremely helpful Will definitely be back there

Great food, well presented and good service.

Good food with a broad menu to include steaks, burgers, seafood, fajitas, curry and pub classics. Excellent service, and a very idyllic location overlooking Romney Marsh.

Wonderful family meal for ten of us. Every dish was perfect, good size portions and really tasty. Huge menu lots of options. Great friendly service. Really lovely afternoon. Thank you

Absolutely lovely cosy place, we went there for roast dinner and really enjoyed.

We eat regularly at The White Horse & would highly recommend it to everyone. Jayson and the staff are always extremely accommodating, pleasant and helpful. It's a clean, well maintained family orientated pub and they serve the most amazing food. The chef is fabulous. First class every time.

Sunday lunch + Huge menu wide choice, Free house with great ales 🍺. Good selection of deserts.

First time here , great service and excellent food and beer 🍺

This was our first time visiting this public house. Very friendly and welcoming by all. Excellent service and fantastic food. The steak and kidney pudding are brilliant. We will definitely visit again and highly recommend it to all.

Met here for a car owners group meeting, very friendly, welcoming pub, fish and chips very good. Service was friendly too.

Brilliant for a good fill . Amazing food and nice atmosphere . The mixed grill is a must well worth the money . Friendly staff and great service

A fabulous Easter lunch. This place never lets us down with quality of their food and the superbly attentive staff. It’s a real gem of a pub. Lovely beer garden for summer too with local bands playing if the weather permits.

After a long journey to Dover castle and Canterbury we had a relaxing and enjoyable dinner at White Horse Chilham. The atmosphere is very cosy and quirky, the fire place is so nice, Colt the mighty dog just added to whole cosines. We had delicious calamari starter and Fish and chips. Paul and Jess were friendly and very welcoming.

Great food, roast Sunday lunch also the steak and ale pie were perfect in every way we will certainly be returning to this wonderful pub even if it’s just for a beer. But the food is spot on

We had the most pleasurable dining experience at The White Horse. So much so that we will visit again soon. It was worth travelling the extra miles to check out the validity of the information we had been given. Free car parking on site. Highly recommended.. Definitely 5 star rating...

Very friendly atmosphere and all of the staff were very welcoming. All 3 courses for me and my wife were excellent and the manager seems to enjoy seeing that you have enjoyed your meal. Thank You for a great meal

A nice, small and cosy pub. This typical drinks and pub food but not loud and busy and actually has some character to it then the usual pubs I come across.

We stopped on the way back home. Really nice customer service and the food was amazing! My daughter loved the spaghetti Bolognese and ice cream. We all come back again!

Visited on New Year's Eve lunchtime with a large party. Staff were great, very helpful and attentive. I had the steak and ale pie with mash and veg and it was banging! Highly recommend.

Decided to pop to here for some grub tonight. We was not dissapointed the food was lovely great portions. The burger I couldn't finish as was so big, the meat in the steak pie was melt in the mouth. Very friendly place staff very helpful with Individual needs. We will be back to try the Sunday roast. A little gem we'll worth the stop even for just a pint.

Lovely pub. Friendly staff and great food. Cosy, oldy worldy and homely. Had a mid Christmas meal here. Really nice. Will definitely be going back.

It was a Xmas dinner with friends. Food excellent, good price. Staff were jovial, friendly and attentive. Lovely atmosphere. Parking at rear of pub, can be busy, street parking available

Good food would recommend booking in advance as its a popular place, car parks a little small but can't be helped in a village. Very ascetics to the pub, warm and welcoming.

Incredibly cosy pub, particularly now it's winter and the large fireplace has a fire going! The pub feels almost a step out of time and place, a getaway from the rush of the everyday. The food was delicious; we had the roast, a burger, and the Christmas salmon, and a selection of puddings which were excellent. This is our second visit and we will certainly be back again!

Lovely pub, great choices, massive portions.

We had our works Christmas meal here. What a wonderful experience!! The pub is beautifully decorated, very Christmassy. The staff were amazing, friendly and clearly happy in their work. Service was perfect, no waiting for drinks. Making sure everything was good for us. I have never had such attentive, friendly and caring service. This place is definitely worth visiting, you won't be disappointed. If I could have given more stars I would! Well done to everyone, and thank you for a lovely evening.

Went last night for a surprise 50th birthday ( mine ) We got to dine in a 'private 'area away from the main restaurant which had been decorated and looked fabulous and festive. Food and service was great and a huge thank you to Sarah for being a great hostess and the singing 😀 + also putting up with my father , we don't take him out much and next time he will pot wash for you 🤣

You should see the Xmas decorations!!! Wow!!! Totally ott but in the best possible way! We sat by the (real) fire and topped it up with wood at will, so best place in the pub. Excellent as I have to be WARM to enjoy my food. We had a great Xmassy time, thank you.

Had the best meal I've had in years at The White Horse last week. Went with Mum on her 91st birthday. They put a happy birthday banner up which she appreciated. The staff were all very friendly and the Christmas decorations were up early and added to the atmosphere. Service was great. Food was first class. Will definitely go back very soon.

The food here was exceptional. Staff super friendly. Highly recommended.

Excellent country pub, worth a visit, food was real good and a good size.

I truly & completely fell in love with this pub from the moment I stepped out of our car..then when I walked in it was amazing with massive log fire..food was fabulous..I had steak pudding with mash.

Nice atmosphere to eat and drink

What an amazing pub, friendly people & staff. You walk in to an amazing Christmas display. Food was amazing, shepherd's pie, 10/10. Desert was wonderful. Nothing was too much. Thank you. We'll worth a visit

Great service, a lovely variety of superb food sensibly priced without nonsense service charges added

On arrival we thought it was a lovely pub with a good atmosphere. We had a table booked for 6 of us for lunch. We had to get the attention of the staff to place our food order after we had been waiting quite some time. There was then a problem with one of the orders so we had to wait longer. When the food finally arrived it was obvious that it had been kept warm. The presentation of the food was not great. The pie had been put on top of the few vegetables and mashed potato to the side. The mashed potato was awful really but I did eat it as I was hungry. The food is very expensive and I don't think I would choose the same if we returned. On another issue, I would say that it is not disabled friendly. Access from the car park into the pub is not great due to steps and uneven ground. Within the pub the tables are too close together or close to walls and you can barely move. There's no disabled toilet either.

Food is very tasty 😋 Service very friendly This is a very popular place so probably best to book even for lunch. My only negative, and it's not really a negative, is the tables are close together, but this is a good indicator of their popularity. We will be back 👍👍

Just got home from an amazing meal. Food was delicious and a very reasonable price! Will certainly be returning, thank you

Best roast we’ve had for a long time! Great service and so so reasonable! Thank you so much!!!

Lovely food but extremely poor service, waitresses very rude. Rushed us out the restaurant considering we had booed the table over a month ago… definitely won’t recommend

Amazing evening meal, super friendly atmosphere and wow epic portions. Such a lovely old pub and welcoming staff.

We decided to try here whilst staying at port lympne. The food was much nicer than at the safari park and half the price. Staff were super helpful and friendly. Highly recommend.

Love this place! Food and staff amazing 🤩

Great food. Good value. Friendly staff & landlord. Well worth a visit.

Dirty fries are to die for. Nice beer garden, free water for walkers and cyclists, service a tad slow which could do with a bit of customer focus but not bad by any means. Worth a visit. Next visit was on a Sunday. Roast was ok, but soft potatoes and only 2 slices of meat, cauliflower was undercooked as was the broccoli. Presentation was good but overall let down by average service and food. The cheesecake was ok, quite heavy with a soft base. But ok. £57 for 2 people.

What a lovely place, we were camping at the priory and eas advised to try the white horse for food. Fantastic advice, food was hot and tasty, and the sharing trifle was to die for. The bar man/waiter was so nice a real asset to the pub. I would highly recommend.

Had a great meal here last night , staff friendly an welcoming

As a local business owner myself I was really happy with the meals we received. Presentation was great, it was all fresh and it tasted delicious. The team did really well. Will definitely be back

Myself and the wife fancied a bit of lunch and took a drive to this lovely pub, we was welcomed straight away, was a lovely sunny afternoon so decided to sit in the garden that has plenty of seating. We both had a ploughman's lunch which was great value with plenty of selection, will definitely be returning to try more of the menu and enjoy this great pub.

Great atmosphere with lovely locals and very dog friendly. Such a quirky little pub. Will definitely be back.

Nous avons été mangés à ce pub et le service était nickel, le serveur adorable... Vraiment une très belle experience !!!

Very cosy place, attentive service et very good and food and food choice. wéve been spending 3 week holidays in England and this is one of our best experience! We recommand 100% !!

Best small town pub i have been to. Lots of room , friendly staff and great food. If your in the area plan visit.

Lunched here, as I hiked along the North Downs Way. It's a 15th-century inn, which makes it quite modern for this ancient, picturesque village. Plenty of visitors around, so there was always a danger the pub might be in the wannabe gastro or rip-off category. But no: they served me a superb fish and chips lunch at pub-food price. It came up hot, meaning it was freshly cooked. Chips were big, soft, and potatoey. Fish had a smooth batter and was shaped like a flipper. Very rich and tasty. The pub had a Saturday lunchtime buzz--staff busy, with heads down. Essential stop for hikers.

Really good food, extensive menu, nice pub

Beautiful place and the menu was great. I had the steak and ale pie, it was delicious, followed by banoffee sundae 😋

Great place. Friendly people. The food was good. The music was realy nice . They serve a great Irish coffee !!

Nice little pub, very charming and like pubs used to be. Very friendly staff and lovely food also. Would definitely recommend visiting if you are in the area.

A beautiful classic pub !! Visited the white horse for lunch and drinks, was given a lovely warm welcome by the staff. The food was incredible, especially the filthy fries loaded with Brie and bacon. Even got to meet the pub dog colt. Will definitely be returning. Amazing experience

Good food and very friendly staff and locals. Great atmosphere worth a visit in a nice Kent village.

Yet another perfect lunch thank-you guys. Had a trout special was so delicious I forgot to photo it !! 😋

Lovely food. Great roast dinner.

Great little place, great food, beer, music and staff 👌

Lovely pub, super bar staff, friendly and inviting atmosphere. Popped in for a drink, a pub quiz was going on, lots of other activities on the calendar too,

First of all… Delicious, the food was lovely; brilliantly portioned and presented wonderfully. A very pretty building made very homely by decorations and ornaments. Staff were very attentive catering for my specific needs perfectly, I would 100% recommend this little village pub

Was a lovely pub to go for a drink the food looked good as well.they have a very friendly dog there as well.i will definitely have to go back there again one day

Si vous recherchez un décor unique et une expérience agréable et typique avec un bon repas, vous êtes à la...

Always a friendly welcome and good food.

Went for Father's Day and couldn't have asked for a better experience. 3 adults and 1 child, we all had the Sunday roast. It was delicious, everything was cooked perfectly from the meat to the roast potatoes to the Yorkshire puddings. Nice glass of house wine to top it off. It is a lovely place to go for dinner, the atmosphere was great and the service was just as good. We will definitely be going again soon.

Good local put food and drink good

Was a lovely summers day, so me and my loving partner decided to have a spot of lunch at this fine establishment. My darling ordered the beef roast, where as I ordered the White Horse sizzler. We waited a few minutes for a waiter/waitress to come to our table, however it was just like my first nandos experience to my shock I had to get out of my chair… to order at the bar (which I don’t mind as it get my daily steps up) We got our drinks and my loving partner got her beef roast out first, to which she could only describe as mediocre.. finally not long after my Sizzling chicken had arrived. Now this is where everything unfortunate went down hill, the food it self was alright but you order a sizzled chicken you hope that the first thing the waitress is “be careful the plates hot” which did not happen… and my chicken wasn’t bloody sizzling! Now I’m all for a good crack and that… but why on earth would you call it a White Horse Sizzler when A) It’s not a horse… and B) It’s not sizzling. This is just false advertisement and I feel like I’ve been lied too.. All in all solid 10/10 just frustrated must be the heat.

We visited the White Horse Today, and wow! The food is SO good. You can tell it is all fresh home made food. The staff are very friendly and made us feel so welcome and relaxed, and our little dog was made such a fuss...

Nice homemade food in pleasant setting

Great Sunday lunch, one of the best around.

Excellent meals and friendly staff

Great food at this welcoming country pub. We had the Sunday roast and salmon en croute and they were both delicious. They have a very large beer garden and a bouncy castle for children.

An excellent Sunday lunch in a historic setting. Not the cheapest, but good value for great quality. Generous portions, with well prepared veg; I can't fault the meals.

We stopped in on Sunday afternoon and had a great time and a great Sunday Roast lunch and desserts! Great country pub atmosphere.

Wonderful mid-range £ pub. Food is exceptional, always a friendly welcome.

The day was warm enough to sit in the garden. The staff were great - friendly, cheerful, hardworking and humorous. We really enjoyed the food - especially the nut roast and the service was unbelievably quick. A quick peek inside showed it would have been...

Been going here on and off most my adult life and it’s still a lovely friendly pub with a great friendly atmosphere and excellent staff. The dinner we had was absolutely delicious and would recommend highly

Was looking forward to the pubs advertised selection of rare ales. Disappointed to be offered greene king stablemates ruddles and a hardy chansons brew.

First time visit, definitely be returning, the food looked wonderful.

Food was amazing the starter and main definitely have no complaints what so ever! There so much to choose from the menu, also the service was very quick.
