The place is very nice, in the style of old pubs. We had to wait a few minutes for a table to become free to sit down but in the meantime we were having a beer at the bar. The people are very friendly. We ordered the fish & chips which was very good, and also included a beer promotion. For dessert we ordered a sticky toffee and it was also delicious. A place you can't miss when you go to Dover.

Legendary British bar where the walls are filled with names of all the swimmers who crossed the channel. We tried their burgers and it was good. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. There is a free parking lot near by. Must visit if you’re in Dover.

A must see in Dover. Ask for Stella and Sam. They set a new standard for service in the UK. They serve from the heart.

Sunday roast was delicious. I had my favourite roast lamb with all the trimmings plus the side of cauliflower cheese was a bonus. The temptation gave in and I had the cafe latte cheesecake with baileys cream for dessert which I would definitely recommend too. The kids also enjoyed their meals, a roast pork dinner and a chicken goujons with chips. They obviously wouldn’t leave without their ice cream dessert which was a thumbs up from them too. Great atmosphere and friendly staff also :-)

A very atmospheric and traditional English pub circa 1365. I received a warm and friendly welcome from the Landlord Sam, as did everyone who visited during my short stay. I will definitely frequent this unique establishment upon subsequent visits to Dover, Kent, England, UK.

Friendly service, but took a while for the food to arrive. Excellent fish and chips, and sausages and mash, but the chowder was not great: too thin, and potatoes were undercooked. The table was sticky. A bit expensive.

WOW!!!!! We LOVE this place! The food was amazing!!! Not your average pub food, this was ELEVATED pub food that could have come from a 5-star restaurant!!! And the service was very friendly and helpful! Our table had the fish and chips, mushroom risotto, house burger, bangers and mash, and the pan seared duck breast. I like duck a lot .. and this was THE MOST TENDER duck I have EVER EATEN, it was delicious! And the bangers and mash were excellent .. all the food was excellent!!! For dessert, I truly and honestly licked the bowl!!! I'm not big on sweets but the chocolate cremeux pistachio sauce honeycomb ice cream dessert was probably the best dessert I've EVER eaten! No joke and not exaggerating. At the time is this review, they were serving their Autumn Menu. All around the room we are in had people's times and dates of their channel crossing, we meet 2 people who had swam there channel! I hope that we will be back in Dover someday, I would love to go back and eat there again! ... and of course the beer was excellent too!

The bartenders Rose and Sam made me feel welcome at once, they foster a cheerful atmosphere where strangers like myself can come in and enjoy great drinks and wonderful food. The pub itself is a lovely old building, which is a breath of fresh air in these days where lots of older buildings shed their historical feel for a more sleek modern look. Being directly under the hill where dover castle is sulituated, it is ideally located for lunch after visiting. An old pub like the white horse is the exact type of place i was looking to find in england their efforts should be comended.

Ok. I hate to leave a low review, but I don't appreciate being lied to. First off, it is a charming English pub. The staff seemed very friendly and drinks were good. In fact our burgers were quite good as well. So, what is my complaint then, you might ask? Well, when we first arrived at about 5:45 PM, even though the place was not at all busy, we were told they had no food left except pizza and burgers. They said fish and chips were unavailable. We were disappointed but decided to order burgers. Well, when I went back for a second beer to the bar, I noticed one of the ladies behind the bar quickly shooing away the other who had, lo and behold, in her hands, two big plates of fish and chips. It was obvious she did not want us to see this. Now, by this time, we had already been there well over 30 minutes and, only one couple came in whilst we were sitting there and sat in another room. Were the fish and chips for them because they were friends with the staff?Everyone else had already cleared out. So, why were we told they had no fish and chips or anything else except for burgers and pizza? Our burgers took a very long time to make, by the way. I noted that someone who was most likely the cook had time to stand around behind the bar with the two ladies working there as well. Also, no fewer than 4 other couples came in after we arrived and were told they were completely out of food. They left. I did not feel those entrusted to work this pub are doing the owner right as, most likely, these young people were hoping to shoo away customers so they could go home early for the evening. If, by chance, the owner was present, I predict he will be out of business soon if he doesn't learn to value and take care of his customers.

We stopped off for a quick pint before we had to check into our guest house, the atmosphere was lovely and the staff we cheerful, so we thought we'd pop back for food once we had checked in. When we went back it wasgetting busy, we ordered a pint and got chatting to the lovely barman. We unfortunately didn't get his name but you can't miss him, he has tourets and was a breath of fresh air! He recommended some food which we had and wow! The chef is amazing from starter to pudding, which I don't normally eat, was amazing. The prawns were massive and very tasty, the burgers were succulent and sooo tasty, the chips were lovely and crunchy too. The pudding was out of this world! I would definitely recommend a visit not just for the food or the friendly staff but people that swim the channel write on the wall with there times it took them, which was very interesting to read. Worth the 5 start rating

Both the food and the service at the white horse were great! The atmosphere is friendly and relaxed, with low volume music in the background in the evening. We had the fish & chips and a beer - came out to ~£42. I would go here again, and maybe even sit outside! For my vegetarians, there were options (no vegan options), but to be clear, there was a limited menu the day we went, so this may not be representative of everyday.

I was having a short trip in Dover. I came here yesterday, but it was already closed. So, today, to kill some time before my bus back to London, I just popped in to this pub for a short time. And I was absolutely shocked and amazed by the bartendress here! (Her name is Claire ❤️) I’m quite a shy person, but the next moment after I came in, she made me feel so comfortable, that I ordered several drinks and had the nicest evening in years! 😂 And the beer was damn good (I don't drink every day, I can distinguish), try the light blue, the local one. Claire not only made me feel at home, but provided the best bar service I’ve ever had so far, and I’ve been to a hundred of cities in the UK and have never had such a warm attitude, in London you’ll never experience anything like that, for sure. She made the last hours of my journey absolutely joyful and amazing! To the pub: you should definitely appreciate her; To all the travelers: to visit this place is a must in this city, trust me, no regrets ;) 10/10 experience 🤗

Wir (2 Erwachsene und ein Kind) waren spontan dort. The White House verstrahlt eine super Atmosphäre, wie sie wir uns gewünscht hatten. Chef war superfreundlich und hat uns einen Tisch für 1,5 Stunden angeboten, weil sonst alles reserviert war. Ich wollte ein lokales Bier... und das war dann superklasse!!! Chef kam und gab uns von den beiden Bieren erst mal eine Kostprobe! Wir hatte Chickencurry und Tacos. Beides rasch, warm und lecker sehr feundlich serviert, mit extra Teller für Sohnemann, damit der mitessen kann, was er will. Für 2 Hauptspeisen, 2 Bier und 1 Liter Wasser fanden wir die 34 Pfund voll gerechtfertigt. Können wir zu 100% empfehlen!

Im sorry but I was told there were no more Yorkshire puddings for my topside of beef meal but then 30 mins later the people behind me had one. No pud = no good **update - I got £2 off my meal so adding another star ***update 2 - oooof. Got a snarky reply from the owner so bye stars. The waiter literally said that there were no more for the rest of the night which I understood so imagine my shock later when the table behind got one. Why didn’t I get offered one then? The only reason I got money off in the first place is because we heard someone in the bar area go “uh oh, looks like we have a negative review”. So if I didn’t leave the review you would not have offered me my £2 discount

Everything a good British pub needs. Lovely people, good beer and delicious food. The chicken curry was nice and spicy but not to hot. The sausage were very tasty with a hint of sage, and the batter of the cod was thin light yet crispy. We had a great last dinner before leaving the UK. But be quick before the landlords say goodbye and book a table (recommended for a saturday evening) before it is too late.
