The White Horse in Vale of White Horse

We visited Friday and Saturday night as we were staying nearby at the Hilton. Service was great and very welcoming, food was fresh and hot. Insanely good value for food and drinks. We wish we lived closer as we would certainly be regularly!

Came in on Thursday for a spot of lunch with friends as every time I’ve been it’s been great and this time was no different! The girl on the bar was lovely and nothing was too much! Thank you Katie for looking after us!

Top service from Alice, always smiling and making everyone feel welcome in the pub 👍🏻

For a wandering truck driver who diet mostly consists of junk this place was a gem to find. Lovely food and lovely staff, really a rather pleasant experience.

Lovely place to drink and dine, great atmosphere and lovely staff.

Booked dinner for three on a Saturday evening. The restaurant was quite noisy and the bar staff offered to move us without prompting, albeit to a noisier area near the TV and the football was on. That said, staff were sufficiently aware to make the offer and it was a football night. Given I was meeting family for a catch up, I should have given it more thought. Food was in good proportions, tasty and well presented. Paired with an attentive and prompt service, I would not hesitate to go again though perhaps, not on a Saturday evening when the football is showing.

Nice pub good better than a chain pub grub. Worth a visit

Four of us went to the white horse for drinks and a meal it was lovely the staff were very efficient the food was lovely and hot really good atmosphere would definitely recommend

Nice lunch again today. So good to have the seniors menu as it is just enough and good value for money.I had the fish and my husband had the hunters chicken, both cooked very nicely and it was lovely to see the staff as we have been away and the girl who served us remembered we were going and asked how our holiday was, lovely that she asked.

Great door and service. Blue light discount code didn't work though which was a shame

I had lasagne it was awful straight from the microwave

The food is reasonably priced pub grub. But it's more about the service and atmosphere here, which is wonderful. Very friendly, helpful staff and friendly clientele. We came during the day mid week, and it was a delight.

It was ok. Not a lot of atmosphere, staff were nice, and food was reasonable. Onion rings probably from freezer.

Beer was adequate, decor fine in a souless, clean chain pub sort of way. Staff brusque and inhospitable. I wouldn't bother - so many better pubs in Abingdon.

Great katsu curry good atmosphere friendly locals and lovely bar staff kaileigh was knowledgeable and made you feel welcome. Will be coming back for sure.

Ordered a mixed platter and a cocktail. Mixed platter came in 5 mins however they took 25 mins to send the cocktail. After eating ordered a dessert 40 mins later no sign. Got my money back and left.

Booked a corner of the pub yesterday for a small leaving meal with colleagues (14 people) as I was leaving my job. Katie was fantastic from the very start. I liaised with her a couple of times before the day and always found her friendly, professional and helpful. I left a list of people's names attending and asked her to offer said people, as they came in, a drink on me. The team were brilliant. Everyone got their drink and my final bill was very reasonable. Thank you. Almost all of us had dinner. Everybody enjoyed the food and many had dessert. All the staff were friendly and the atmosphere in the pub, good. Would highly recommend having a meal here with friends or a drink or two.

Our 'go to' now with the grandchildren as we can sit in the garden with them and Grandad gets to watch the sports outside and me and the children can play board games so we are all happy. The childrens menu caters for all four of our different eaters so a firm favourite with them.

Good food good service and a reasonable price, lost a star due to a few things we wanted being out of stock.

Staying locally for the fourth year running and made a point of doing here this evening for my husband's birthday. Very disappointed this time! Steaks were tough going and the medium/well done steak was bright red. No desserts. Don't think we'll bother again.

Came here about a couple of months ago with my friends and it was delightful, but I came on my own and my food was delicious cooked amazingly , staff so friendly and smiles. Definitely need to come here more. Outstanding it really was loved it, I was out side garden tidy it's truly a great place so thank you.

Came here for a lunch with my partner we went for the tex mex sharer and the salt n pepper chilli chicken and it was amazing! The pub was cosy and the staff were so nice and helpful! Especially Katie behind the bar.

Ended up with lovely scampi got to the bottom to find a ( curly Pubic hair sitting on the scampi) to then get no apology from bar staff the manager who runs it is rude doesn’t even speak to customers just lets her hairy mutts roam the pub pooing in there garden

We stopped off on route back from our holidays. It was a sunny afternoon and I immediately thought how unusual it was that it was so quiet. Within 10 minutes I understood why. We waited 15 minutes to be served at a practically empty bar. There were no clean wine glasses so my wine was served in a gin glass ( that was filthy) And whilst we sat we saw a group arrive, sit down and the table leg fall off their table. Enter the toilets at your own risk, the men’s urinals include one that is smashed, with black gaffer tape across, one toilet with no seat, and not a sheet of toilet roll in sight. I could say so much more…the dead plants in the windows tell you everything you need to know about a lack of care. Sadly we changed our minds about eating. We admired the building and what a shame it is that it doesn’t match anything else

Some of the French Frys had black ends the parsley was wilted would have been better not to have put it on the plate did not see any senior's meals either.

Went to watch the Denmark vs England football game, Was welcomed in by the server named Alice. Service was quick. After the match I had a chicken burger which I enjoyed very much.

Well, we all know that breweries have glasses that best suit their pints. Apparently this pub never got the memo. Watching Euro's, pub requested booking tables for watching, yet few bar staff to match the anticipated crowd. Picture shows my Fosters in a Guiness glass, no etching on the base of the glass to continue the head. God help them if they put a Guinness in a Foster's glass. Seriously not impressed. Thankfully they haven't affected the football crowd.

Amazing place. Staff were awesome. Would definitely visit again

Central meet up .point for parents and grown up.children ... 2nd visit and sadly left disappointed .. Service was incredibly slow on Thursday lunch time.

Amazing experience here watching the football the atmosphere was spot on! Food was great, and the chap working made even better with his service and attitude. Well done Oxford United

Visited this pub during an over night stay at the local Premier Inn for a wedding. It is a Greene King Pub so you hope you know what you are going to get. We were not disappointed. There was football showing and although the fans were noisy they were friendly. We ordered food which was delivered quickly, well cooked and hot. I was especially impressed when a bar maid came round with some keys that had been found, trying to locate the owners. Overall I have really enjoyed my evening in this pub and would definitely recommend and visit again if I am ever up here again

Great beer choice!!!!! Landlord great!

Great selection of drinks, very attentive service.

Food was ok, but priced as such. Great atmosphere, friendly people.

Service was shocking, wrong drinks, wrong food. No idea of customer service. Language was poor. Meals at different times. Bits of meals replaced with chips because they didn't have all ingredients. The staff need training, but more so there appeared to be no supervision or manager around

What a lovely pub, fab staff. Warm welcoming. Good food for a chain

the restaurant was lovely, welcoming and the kitchen absolutely nailed our food. Was so flavourful and good value for money. Would return.

Went for a belated mother's day treat. We were sat under a TV showing the football. I hate football at the best of times so asked to move to another table. The unhappy looking waitress let us choose another table. (2pm It wasn't busy in the restaurant part so we could choose another table). One daughters roast didn't look like the menu picture, other daughters cheese was missing for her chicken burger and my burgers were burnt. Daughter requested a luxury hot chocolate. When we enquired where the marshmallows and chocolate flake were we were told they didn't have any. If they had informed us when ordering we wouldn't have had to return it for a refund. Very disappointing.

Not really happy to be honest, every time we have booked asked for a table near the door as we have someone in a wheelchair, never can find the booking, food is poor as is the reception, will not be going back again.

What great place to spend mother's day! Booked a table with the family. The service and food was amazing. We all had the roasts cooked perfectly. Staff was very helpful and accommodating. We also received flowers for my mum. Was a great touch!

Old school community boozer. Food was decent, welcome was ok, everyone in here from shifty looking lads to older women.

Lovely pyb dogs welcome service good made to feel welcome n want to come back

We sampled the small plates, and they were amazing. Special mention to the squid, which, for this far inland, was incredible - not even remotely rubbery like some places struggle with - and the mango and lime tacos. Would definitely come again

Great service. Books and colouring for the kids.

4 of us ate a delicious meal tonight. Excellent service and all meals were delicious.

A really lovely historic pub, great surroundings and atmosphere. It was our first visit for a family gathering...we will return, thank you 👌😎

I love everything about this pub and the food is absolutely amazing

Great for sport, garden nice and roomy in summer and there's a back room if you want a quieter meal. Normally decent offers on via Greene King app too.

had lunch here and thoroughly enjoyed it. service was swift and friendly, bar staff were very helpful and smiley. great pub food, great pints and great atmosphere in a lovely building.

Great place to go for a cheeky one or two and something to eat

Great food, drinks and atmosphere. We thoroughly enjoyed dinner here as a family.

Great place to eat, not too busy for the festive season. Staff are very friendly and helpful

The food was awful . I sent my food back , and it was served cold . The other people eating left food on their plates . 6 people at my party were unhappy with the food 😕 It was not a good place to go and will not go again

Works Christmas lunch. Only booked and ordered last week. A couple of tweaks to steak sauces needed but was fine with the people who had ordered it. Food cooked to everyone's liking and and a enjoyed. All staff very friendly, polite and helpful. Would definatly return.

Only a brief stop early doors, so not many people around, very quiet.

Best Greene king pub I visited as the food is always served quick, well presented and tasty. Great offers and selection to choose from. Been coming here for years, tried other similar Greene king pubs but this has always been the best. Well done to the hard-working staff who are polite and friendly.

Nice place with a wonderful view

I've been to this pub a few times. It is good and the staff are nice. The only reason for 4 stars is because one time when sat outside, the garden area was completely swarmed with these white flies, which weren't anywhere else. This made sitting outside not very pleasant. Not sure if anything could have been done, but sharing my experience.

Great pub, part of Greene King group. Like the whole look of the place, but main thing is that the food was delicious. We had Katsu chicken and gammon. Price was very reasonable.

Good old traditional pub and popular with locals. I enjoyed my meal but the wife wasn't with her sirloin steak which was very grisly.

Lovely roast dinner today. Was fresh and hot and with lots of gravy, downside was we were all to full up for dessert, staff were lovely even though it was busy in the bar section they were still attentive without being intrusive.

Came here for a pint, stayed for the tacos and the friendly staff. Came 2 days in a row... probably 3 tomorrow

Lovely food great atmosphere and prompt service we had a lovely experience here highly recommend 😀

Been a few times over the past year or so and have always had a nice experience and lovely food

Went to eat at 5:30 and the vegetables looked as though they were just what was left from lunch time.

Lovely relaxed place to take the kids, plenty of choice on the menu to cater for all. Kids were loving the diy tacos. The Mr was loving the rugby

Great dinner, plenty of vegan options. Friendly and helpful staff, we come here often for dinner when at college, very reasonably priced too. 10/10

Went here for dinner while in Abingdon. We went on a Sunday but we were a little late and the Sunday roast special was sold out. We both had the beef and ale pie which was a great choice. You have to go to the bar to order dinner (and pay) but it is then brought out to the table in a timely matter.

Fabulous food, service, Tom brilliant - thank you 😊

Great place to stay. Friendly service, good food, nice atmosphere. Looking forward for my next visit.

Cracking little pub. Food is delicious service is great and everyone extremely welcoming. Try the fruit flavoured ciders very nice

Nice selection and well served Nice atmosphere. All together very good.

Just came for a quick bite to eat at lunch and super impressed! Lovely decor, clean, and nice atmosphere. We used the app so it was very quick and easy, food came out quickly and was beautifully cooked. I had lime and mango chicken tacos, mash and salt and pepper squid. They also had the women’s England game vs. Australia playing which was really good to watch whilst eating!

Great time visiting The White Horse for the first time. Service was outstanding from the gentleman that was servicing us and tending to our table for more drinks and food. Making sure we had all the what we needed, such as cutlery and more napkins etc. The food was lovely and the price was very good. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening here. Can't wait to come dine here with our friends again.

Had sunday lunch,3 starters were nice,4 roast dinners so so,not an expensive meal you get what you pay for,dessert took an age to wait for so got money back and left ,will not go back

Staying nearby we came here one night for our evening meal, it was quiet when we arrived around 6pm. There was a good selection on the menu, we had the scampi and chicken/ham pie, both were very good, though a bit too much for me to finish. We did come back on another evening and due to a problem at another restaurant, they weren’t taking any food orders, as they had the guests from the other pub, which was a bit disappointing, otherwise we would have given 5 stars. Wouldn’t stop us coming back though.

Had a bite to eat and some drinks. Was very pleasant experience. Had some lovely food and staff was great. Will be my new local :)

Had a great evening at the White Horse with the family. We ordered kids meal deal and steaks was on offer which Was great! The service was on point from the staff and duty manager was incredibly helpful with ordering and helping us with the drinks. Defiantly a great place to dine with the family will surely be back again

Popped in for lunch on a very quiet Tuesday. Had to return the first pint as it was cloudy and was probably the first or last in the barrel (the barmaid said no one had complained). Ordered food which arrived in five minutes, obviously not freshly cooked, strange wet chicken breast incredibly dry inedible chips, salad okay. We left most of the meal and didn't chance the offered replacement. Probably okay for a pint but avoid the food.

Food was pretty good for a Greene King, but service was shocking, both of the bartender we were served by were uncaring about our order. We ordered our food, and then 35 minutes later went inside to ask where it was, and were told "I said it would be 45 minutes for the food".....He never uttered those words in our direction. Thankfully the food came out only 15 minutes later (50 minutes total). However, it left a bad taste in the mouth (not from the food, it was genuinely good!). Wont be back.

Lovely place with the best fish and chips and three scoops of ice cream. Cosy ambience with BBC sports. Had a nice cool day out.

Very nice and quick service lovely food nice place 👍

Lovely cosy place with great food and ambience. A nice seating arrangement with a TV playing BBC sports.

Lovely Sunday afternoon meal. We enjoyed a huge pie with potato and veggies, and a roast with all the trimmings. Food was piping hot with generous portions. Meat was tender and flavoursome. Service was friendly, down to earth and welcoming. Shame there were so many empty tables as we thought it was a great place to call by. Cricket on the TV for the husband...on silent for the wife! Thanks Tom and team.

Came for an evening meal with my Mum & Dad. Lovely food and friendly staff, thanks for a great meal!

Not as good as our last visit, I think someone new has taken it over and not got it together yet. A few of the team were not sure what they were doing. Recommend the lunchtime steak and cheese chiabatta though with chips. Good luck in the future we only call In when travelling from the North back to Southampton.

Veggie option very limited, but the meal and service were excellent. My Wife had the roast beef option and loved her meal too. The kitchen staff took the trouble to come out and confirm my exact meal requirements. Thank you!

staff just amazing the best Customers service in Abingdon pubs👍🏻

Can not believe how much this place has gone down here since change of ownership. Came here with a few pals after work as we normally do on a Friday and the queue to the bar goes all the way to the toilets. We get told to order on the app and our food comes and we’ve eaten the food before our drinks have even come to the table. There is one poor lady running around cleaning up all the glasses and one other lady behind the bar. The guy who I think now runs the place is slow and when we go to the bar to ask for our drinks we have been told to wait until the queue goes down. When will that be? 11pm when your bar closes?!

Since the change in management this place has seriously gone downhill. 2 people working the bar on a busy Friday evening is just not enough. 20 minutes to get a drink, no stock, and no real sense of urgency. Dogs allowed in the restaurant area of the pub, tables filled with dirty crockery, empty glasses, no cutlery in the buckets, you ask for a pint and get it in a straight glass. Absolutely horrendous. As someone who frequents this pub I’ve been discussing with friends to find a new local, each visit is worse than the last. Please, Greene King, focus some attention on this once vibrant and fantastic pub!

I honestly can not rate this place highly enough. Under new management and faced with the struggles that brings in itself. We visited this evening and ordered food. We was told unfortunately that is not available so we placed another order. A staff member called Alex then made it possible to fulfill our original food order. He was exceptionally helpful snd polite. Hats off to a new team and manager 👏

Really good food but it took nearly an hour to get it and they didn't bring our drinks (ordered through the app). Clearly short staffed the poor chef was single handedly cooking and bringing the food. I hope the pub look to make sure they aren't understaffed as it really detracted from an overall good experience.

Lovely little pub we called into for some glorious food and a few beers. Being Father's Day they had a free raffle and gave me a ticket Number 79.... 5 yeas old Bella picked my lucky ticket I've only just won a basket of goodies off the ticket given to me by Becky the Events Manager and presented by Doreen the General Manager

Was in the bar at lunch time saw the chief go to the gents with his apron on. I believe this is a no.

Good pub with a nice garden to enjoy the diner. Meat very good.

This was the second time we attempted to get lunch here -the first time it was too busy! Lovely food and the staff were really friendly. Good mix of people there too -young and older, and the variety on the menu was far better than your average pub grub! Will definitely be visiting again -although I have heard management are moving to another pub I'm Abingdon very soon!

Excellent food and drink. Service amazing. Good selection of food. Great outdoor vibe. Excellent value and quality

Pleasant place. Good beer and good food. Always seems busy, but difficult to get a table

Fabulous roast dinner today. Generous portions. Lorcan and Charlotte were so very attentive. Will definitely eat here again. Thank you to the White Horse!!
