The White Horse in Broadland

Best food and beer. Service with a smile and very helpful staff. A shining example of a community asset/pub. Highly recommended please support this asset.

We had dinner at this pub on our last night of a Broads boating holiday. Everything about it was superb and the staff were so friendly, even bringing my little guy some olives when they heard it was his favourite. I'm so glad we only found this pub on our last night as I would have had trouble going anywhere else! By far the best pub we experienced in the Broads. Even the kids meals (which I tasted) were delicious. We are a family of foodies and everyone was very happy. My advice: do not miss this pub, you can thank me later 😘

Went to the Halloween evening. Great fun and the amount of work and decorations they put in was fabulous. Good food available and drinks at fair price. Will look forward to going again.

Whilst on a circular walk around the river bure we stopped here for a nibble, we ordered 3 small plates which were on special deal. (With more options to pick) although the plates were delicious we thought there might’ve been more (quantity) there’s also a lovely farm shop at the front! Both friendly staff! There’s also a dart board at the pub which we of course had a few rounds!

Went for Sunday lunch, as not been for a while, and I know the food is good and mum not been before. However, we were put in the conservatory and totally forgotten about. I had to get up to get service for a drink and menus, get up to order, get up to pay. Service was so slow we only managed one course in 1 hour 40 minutes, and it was nowhere near full, so they missed out on us having a dessert. Only two girls on a Sunday lunchtime is not sufficient for a popular pub like this. However, Sunday roast was excellent, albeit neither the beef nor lamb were pink, which they should be.

Good food, a good selection of beers, and other local drinks. All round a good traditional pub.

Went for my birthday. I hadn't been since the changes had been made. I was pleasantly surprised. The food was lovely and the service was friendly and prompt. Would recommend. I had the skate which was lovely. When I ordered I thought a little high priced but on eating it could forgive that, as it was so nice. Other meals had were catch of the day and the beef and ale pie ( This has shrunk a lot from previous times, but was enjoyed) all were great. Would go again for a special occasion

Very unfriendly locals - we were called bloody outsiders. First & last visit. Food & drink ok but overpriced.

Good traditional food and great service. Made to feel very welcome by all the staff. Live music in a community pub is a big plus.

Fabulous find. Food was amazing even gluten free. Wonderful place. 5*

Lovely meal with friendly service in a traditional village pub that the staff and locals clearly work hard to keep as one of Norfolk’s gems

We were here last night and took advantage of the fish and chips offer. Excellent food that was perfectly cooked and presented, great service. Highly recommended.

Waited a while,order came wrong. Steak pie was okay but the steak was dry and overcooked. The lasagne was very dry. There was 5 couples in when we went, 3 were dissatisfied. I complained but didn't really get any satisfaction despite the staff been apologetic. Actually went somewhere else for dessert.

Very good food nice atmosphere Very friendly

Took my wife there yesterday 7,9,2024 Had a wonderful meal, could not fault it. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. I would highly recommend the food here will definitely go back again soon I hope

Nice pub with good food and service.

Came to see Leon Mallet perform but a really beautiful pub that really went all out for this event. On offer was bbq food and icecreams which we participated in. Would love to visit when they have their normal menu back on.. but lovely place and well organised event.

Visited at lunchtime. Good, varied menu. Just had some starters but they were fantastic. The staff were very friendly and service was very quick. Good selection of beers, ciders and most importantly perry🙂. Lots of parking and a good sized garden. Will definitely be back.

Charming well kept pub. Definitely the hub of this lovely village. Excellent food, service and ale selection.

Mixed feelings about beer, wild craft brewery very good tim Taylor not so good. Nice atmosphere

Community working together at its best

Conveniently located in the center of the village with a local store beside it. We had afternoon drinks and we're seated in the outside area. Great for a sunny day. We weren't able to try their food because dinner service starts at 5pm. Something to watch out for and put in your visit schedule!

Lovely pub with some good beer & wines & pretty good food. The fish & chips & scallops were particularly recommended. Its a real shame they dont serve food on a Monday despite obvious demand (including us trying to return). We ended up going to the Acle Bridge Inn which was rammed!

I think they’ve forgotten they’re a small village pub with their new menu and prices… £17 for a halloumi burger?! Cheesy chips used to be £2.75 now £4.95!! Have to find a new local now unfortunately

Very friendly, lovely atmosphere, excellent beer and food.

Been on The Norfolk Broads many years. This community owned pub is a little gem. Friendly people. Dog friendly too. Only had a drink there, but what food was being served looked excellent. Will definitely visit again.

Very friendly staff pleasant atmosphere. Very good food .

Having been to the Broads for over 50 years. We are glad to find this Gem. Absolutely brilliant.

A beautifully located pub in an outstanding location, tucked away in a leafy Norfolk village right at the start of the Norfolk broads, community owned and operated a lovely local gem. 2 minutes walk from here is the Upton Pond teeming with carp, and other little fish, take the kids to feed them, pop into the local community owned shop and then head to the broads for beautiful walks.

Have been visiting this pub since 2012 . Decided to have a meal today spent £16.75 for fish of the day. Unfortunately the quality of the food was not upto the standard this pub built its reputation on. Fish was soggy as were the chips and no salad. I know costs have gone up if you lose the quality you lose the reputation and that leads to loss of trade. A shame as is my favourite pub in the area.sorry for negative review but if you don't know you can't fix it.

Fabulous Sunday roast with two other couples and dog. The beef was beautiful and the Yorkshire pudding would have been easier to climb than to eat!!! Wonderful sticky toffee pudding too. 🍮 Staff were excellent, really accommodating and we will certainly be back for their themed nights and special events!! We'll done White Horse 🐎 xxx

Great pub, very welcoming, lots of choice in real ales. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be going back!

1st time back for quite a while as the menu which was changed before Christmas 23 was not lunch friendly. It has slightly improved but, where are baguettes, jacket potatoes, the humble sandwich? The menu is fantastic for an evening meal but NOT for lunch if you want something light.

Cracking Community Pub. Food was outstanding and the night was lovely. Definitely recommend.

Lovely, cosy pub, with an airy and light conservatory. Good food/beer selection. Friendly service. Used as a Britstops overnight campervan site.

Very impressed. Good beer. Good food. Good service. Fair prices.

This was one of the best Sunday roasts we've had out in a while. The meat was good and a lovely selection of vegetables and all well presented. This is a community run pub and the community has come together to save it. A wonderful turn around. Well done to all. Love the dining room decor - very smart.

vegans! a brief glance at their menu will suggest there is not a lot for us.... but they made me vegan loaded fries which were FANTASTIC! (I'm planning another muddy walk just so I can have them again!). good chips withbegan cheese, salsa, guacamole, mango chutney and red onion....fabulous! and the beer is great too :) highly recommended

Comfortable, welcoming and friendly pub, came here on a Saturday evening and had some tasty food and good beers. It is dog friendly and we were allowed to park overnight in our camper. I would recommend it.

Popped in for the ‘Beer & Burrito Festival What an absolute S**t show ‘beer and burrito night’. Lots of beers to choose from however on arrival a choice of 8 was available, we were told one of the other barrels had to run out before they replaced it with a beer that people may actually want to drink, also not as many as advertised. Ordered some food…. Had to stand away from all the friends and family to continuously glare at a screen waiting for my number to appear in ‘the wait area’ once my number did appear, and the ‘chef’ placed my food on a random table which was labelled as a collection point, my food was then taken by someone else, didn’t even end up with what I’d paid for, 28 min wait for some cold chips slapped with guacamole claimed to be ‘loaded fries’ 🤦‍♂️ not a very well thought out evening atall, such a shame! ‘Save The White horse’?? The place is definitely past saving! Community pub?? Next joke. Edit: this review was posted on a social media platform, the pub decided to remove the post and block myself from visiting the page in an attempt to hide the truth, avoid at all costs!

Spent a lovely afternoon at this excellent pub. Good atmosphere, busy but not heaving - found a table out of the way we're our two dogs could sleep. Bar staff and locals all really friendly.

This was the first time we had been to The White Horse for a while. Previously the food was average, but they have really upped their game and we had two great meals that were a compliment to the chef. While the prices have risen, the quality has vastly increased meaning it gave good value. We would rather see this than pubs trying to keep food cheap for the sake of it as that doesn't work. Most consumers will pay a little more if the food is good and it was very good. We shall certainly be back again and is still dog friendly which is a huge plus for locals and holiday makers alike.

Sunday lunch was awful beef like a slab of steak vegetables all cold Definitely not come back for Sunday lunch

Been a couple of and unfortunately the food does not live upto expectations. Both times the menu looked great with wonderful ideas but each time the food was not upto par / bland. Service on both occasions was also slow and not attentive. Would love to support the pub again but unfortunately unless the food improves or change of chef we won't be returning..

Tonight was pub quiz night! Enjoyed a lovely meal, served by friendly helpful staff, brilliant pub quiz, lovely atmosphere 😊

One of the best Sunday roast dinners I have had that wasn't cooked by him indoors or my mother. Lovely atmosphere, probably because it is a locals pub. Friendly and great service. We weren't kept waiting for anything. Will definitely go again.

Lovely pub all round. Recommended.

Excellent meal served by great & helpful staff. We all had traditional pub meals, which were good standard and plentiful in portion size. Deserts were of exceptional quality too! Would highly recommend this friendly village pub with a unique history.

We enjoyed a lovely Christmas lunch which was excellent quality and delicious. The staff are always friendly and very helpful. The bar is cosy and inviting with the open fire. We would highly recommend it .

Despite all the covid and post covid problems the White Horse remains an outstanding pub. The always friendly and helpful staff serve too quality beautifully cooked locally sourced food (we've just had an outstanding Christmas dinner) & an excellent selection of well kept ales. We've used the pub since the 90's and enjoy it now as much now as ever.

Lovely place and great meal here

What a lovely meal, and lovely pub! Great fish and chips, superbly cooked, as well as a lovely pudding. Great fresh beer, and so comfortable to sit and enjoy a winter's afternoon in the warm of the fire, highly recommended!!

Another glorious Sunday roast! A warm welcome as always. Food and service outstanding. Cannot recommend highly enough 😊

Cosy community pub with a roaring log fire. Just right for the cold weather outside that day. . We enjoyed a lovely meal and received great service. Highly recommend.

A traditional village country pub. It always has a good selection of draught beers and the atmosphere is always welcoming with a log fire in winter. If you want tiny portions of pretty Michelin star food go elsewhere, but if you want traditional pub style food, good sized portions and nice pint for a reasonable price, give it a try. Having just had French onion soup, followed by a huge plate of slow cooked ribs, washed down by a pint of local bitter, I am truly satisfied!

Country pub, community owned. Local cask ales, fruit ciders. Nice warm pub, roaring fire it is December. The food looked good, lots of families enjoying Sunday dinners. Dog friendly.

Have eaten several excellent lunches here so decided to hold my birthday meal here for the family. The sevice was ok and the beer on offer was excellent but the food was bang average and was less than impressed. Was this a bad day! What a shame that this community pub let me down on this occasion.

Great hidden gem for drinks, meals, meeting friends.

Very friendly pub with good service. The food was a good standard 'pub grub' with generous portions.

Community pub serving local community and tourists… very good cask and craft keg selection on. And community shop on site selling cakes. Well worth a visit.

This was a hidden gem. Food was outstanding, far exceeded our expectations. A delightful community run pub with great staff and a lovely atmosphere.

This was the biggest wast of £95 we have spent in a long time!! The food was terrible. Firstly the chips were cold and dry and hard…inedible. They should never have been served. The sausage and mash was so poor. 3 tiny sausages, the jews were hard and tasteless. The gravy was tasteless and tepid. The creamy mushroom tortellini was watery and sooo much garlic. Not pleasant at all. We used to come here regularly when the food was great. Charlie was the manager and it was a joy to come here. There is no way we will come back.

great place, you can choose your own music, great food and atmosphire

What a gem of a pub . It is a Community owned and run pub/restaurant with a great selection of Cask ales and lagers etc and fabulous food on offer for your enjoyment.

Fantastic pub we walked to from South Walsham. Had some lovely food and the barman was a credit to the establishment thoroughly professional and helpful. Would definitely visit again

Excellent village pub , worth the walk.

Great Sunday roast, service very quick & efficient and lovely staff, polite and friendly. Would definitely recommend.

just spent a week staying in a cottage at Upton and popped into the White Horse every evening. A really nice community pub, well run, good food and some really interesting beer. As a beer lover I like to try new beers whenever I can and I was spoilt for choice. No generic beers but a good choice of local brews which were constantly changing. The pub is dog friendly and the team working there are excellent! When holidaying in the UK a local, dog friendly pub with good beer and great staff is a must and the White Horse came up trumps Will hopefully be back very soon

If you are looking for a hearty meal this is not the place you will need a starter a main meal and a pudding to fill you up. But the stuff extremely friendly. My complaint about male size was dealt with very positively.

The roast dinner was lovely, a reasonable price.

well what a surprise!!! good pint of beer and a really excellent vegan lunch - French bread with spicy vegan sausage and onion marmalade, really good chips (NOT from freezer but proper ones!) and a good salad - no iceberg lettuce in sight! and only £8 which post Covid is a great price! us vegans are usually disappointed in pub foods (not another bad burger!) but this was GREAT! thank you!

Fantastic gastro pub which made a lovely evening stop on our way across the Norfolk Broads. Food was extremely tasty and there was a great selection of drinks too. The service was excellent. Lovely selection of items on sale at the shop too. Dog friendly, and lots of seating outside, which meant we could enjoy the evening sunshine. We would highly recommend!

What a lovely community pub. Fantastic staff, delicious food and a great vibe.

Graet beer staff super friendly, the food is some of the best on the rivers

And great visiting Morris Dancers

We attended the reggae garden party and it was absolutely amazing. The music, atmosphere, food and service were all great. We had a brilliant afternoon/evening. Will definitely be visiting again.

Highly recommend the steak and ale pie as it was really nice and the lasagna was excellent plus all the staff were polite as can be couldn't fault them Happy faces all round 😄 PS/ definitely worth a visit

Friendly atmosphere and good food

Delicious fish and chips. All food at reasonable prices. Recommend.

Excellent pub grub, excellent atmosphere and service.Highly recommended.

This pub is a must do, beautiful location in the Broads surrounded by open countryside close to the river Bure... Pub was very welcoming food was proper pub grub we had the homemade steak n ale pie and sausage n mash washed down with local ale. Lovely village shop stocked with local produce I can highly recommend the local honey 🍯 👌 loved it! loved it! loved it! We will definitely be returning

Excellent food and wonderful, friendly staff

A warm welcome and a varied menu. Lovely atmosphere and very dog friendly.

We found this place by accident when our boat broke down! What a lovely place. The food and service were exceptionally good and the atmosphere was relaxed & friendly!

Lovely place, excellent service and great food. Dog friendly

A real pub with an excellent restaurant. Exceptional service.

No food between 3pm and 5pm lost out!!

If you find yourself hereabouts and want a good beer, or a good meal, or perhaps both, this is an absolute gem. Very friendly team, a menu to suit all tastes (but do consider the curries!) and plenty of it. Rarely does a pub warrant a review but this one is quite splendid.

My recent visit to the White Horse Pub in Upton was an absolute delight. The food was simply mouthwatering, and it was evident that they take pride in serving homemade dishes with a unique touch. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. I'll definitely be returning for more memorable meals!

A lovely, homely, very welcoming traditional village pub. Very friendly owner. And food superb. Thank you Mark for making us feel very welcome. We will see u again next year in our visit to the area

Great atmosphere. Friendly staff. Tasty food.

Lovely country pub with great food. Would recommend!

They let us stay in our van overnight in the carpark after eating at the pub. Lovely community pub.

Delicious food, lovely and well kept ale. We had a very enjoyable dinner at this great pub!

Lovely food and Beer, what more could you want. Generous portions and I was Hungary!

Friendly staff! Were very helpful when I foolishly left my bag there. Great moorings just down the road if wishing to visit by boat!!!

Everything was great. I truly can't fault the place. Even has parking.

Great pub staff friendly, good selection of hand pulled beers

Can't rate the food because we didn't eat here, but great pub with a lovely outside area, friendly staff and good selection of beer's, definitely visit again!

I had the large steak and ale pie today.... desperate Dan would give it a thumbs up too.... lovely jubbly 👍
