The White Horse in Forest Heath - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lovely building - proper old pub, great landlord and staff, excellent food.

Fantastic Pub, Lovely staff , Good food!!! Popped into the White Horse last week to have some lunch and refreshments while I was waiting for my car which was having some work on it to be completed at a local garage. On arrival we were greeted but friendly staff and I assume regulars who made us feel very welcome. It had a lovely atmosphere and reminded me of a former Pub I worked in many years ago. My wife and I ordered some soft drinks and some food from the Lunch menu. While we waited for the food to arrive we enjoyed a game of darts! The food we ordered was lovely and fresh (I'm a chef by trade) great value for money and very tasty. Our visit was so lovely we weren't disappointed with the news from the garage that I had to bring back my car to complete the work the following week,,,, so we visited again today and once again, we had an amazing lunch experience once again!! We love everything about this little pub and can't recommend it enough!!! We want to become regulars! Thank you White Horse Exning!!! Xx Regards Mark.

Great Sunday lunch, very friendly pub with HRH Digby ! The adorable dachshund x Great beer choice,

Good food. Very busy, possibly because pubs nearby not open on Monday lunchtime . Dog friendly.

Fantastic pub food brilliant staff very helpful

Very friendly, great food, great beer, 5 star.

Fantastic food great atmosphere extremely welcoming staff nothing was to much trouble

Was recommended to me. Cycled out there from Newmarket and had a good pint of cider, then looped back to Newmarket via Snailwell.

We looked for a pub to stop off at on our way back from Norfolk and gave this place a try. This is a lovely traditional pub with a cosy bar area. The staff were so so nice and friendly and the food was excellent value for money. We will be stopping off here again for sure on our next trip to Norfolk, which we do around 2-3 times a year!! Highly recommend this place. Parking is a bit limited but we parked (with others) on the road outside.

Fabulous historic village pub, with friendly locals. Home-cooked food was excellent and staff were helpful and friendly. Definitely recommend if you're in the area, our dog got a treat from the landlord!

A really friendly welcome at this lovely pub. They have three excellent real ales on tap. Multiple rooms including a tv showing sport in one room. I nice shaded outdoor paitio area. Lots of memorabilia, pictures and breweriana Well worth a visit if in the area or is you want a stop along the A14. It’s 3 mins drive from the Newmarket junction

As soon as we entered the White Horse we were made welcome. We were looked after extremely well, the food was excellent. Good home cooked meals. Definitely a place we will visit again.

We were made to feel extremely welcome, Lucy and the team were very friendly and most accommodating and the freshly prepared food was amazing! Thoroughly recommended.

Super family run pub. Very welcoming & friendly service. The pies and lamb burger with Stilton cheese were great. Nice puddings too. 5 or 6 good vegan/vegetarian options (a bigger & better choice than most pubs) Food is homemade and locally sourced where possible. Good red wine, I was driving, so I had zero alcohol Guinness Unfortunately, we were passing through, so a much deserved second visit is unlikely

Good traditional pub. Selection of nice beers and snacks.

A random pub stop for food turned out to be really good food

After a desperate search for a good pub sandwich in the area, we happened upon the White Horse. We were greeted with the warmest welcome, and a simple but perfectly formed sandwich menu (although everything looked good!) The sandwiches were great, and the chips were clearly homemade -such a nice surprise and really over delivered! Thank you such a perfect lunch :)

Met up with friends for lunch. Asked for a quiet area which we got. Excellent food and service. A long time since we had sea bass so tasty and cooked to perfection. Thoroughly recommend the venue - nothing too much trouble. Small scissors to cut those annoying little sachets of sauce an excellent touch!

A 'real' pub, old fashioned, multi rooms, no loud music or gaming machines. Good food reasonably priced and service with a laugh. Enjoyable.

A fantastic village pub, great food and drink, difficult to fault anything

Lovely old fashioned pub lovely staff helpful and friendly

First visit my daughter lives near and we were only down for the weekend but she booked in for sunday lunch and we thoroughly enjoyed everything about the place and very sociable people who worked there will visit the next time we visit her 👍

Wonderful Sunday lunch. Beautifully home cooked and steaming hot. Plenty of choice and fabulous selection of vegetables. Most like home cooked roast I’ve had eating out. The staff were really lovely. I have recommended to friends and will definitely return.

We arrived with a big group (18 of us) unannounced. Staff was so helpful and great. Food was delicious and arrived quickly. The atmosphere in the pub was so cosy. Would definitely recommend visiting this local business.

Great family pub, excellent food (especially Sunday lunch). Good selection of beers and most of all, friendly.

A great evening as always, food was top notch and great value. A good selection of beer and ale.

Wow what a lovely pub. We pop in randomly and we were shown such a lovely welcome we felt like we've been locals for years and dog lovers too.

What an excellent pub, we had a great time there, even though our little Peggy scared everyone off by shouting across the pub. Food was delicious and service very friendly. Wished we could have stayed longer...

Really lovely dog friendly pub and restaurant. We stopped during our 5 hour drive for a lunch break with the dog and 2 kids. No set kids menu, but very accommodating and offered smaller meals for them for really decent prices. Food was delicious too! And the garden is very pretty. Would absolutely go back if ever in the area again!

Good food excellent beer friendly staff and customers

Friend and I stopped off on a the way fishing the third time. Excellent food and great beer most of all friendly owners and customers. Looking forward to going back. Alan

Amazing little spot. The family running it couldn't be more accommodating. Great food and drinks!

Lovely old country pub in a quiet little village. Perfect to stop off and have lunch if you are passing through.

We went for a Sunday dinner(called in around 13.00 to be sure we can turn out). We were seated and served at the table. Bar was packed and very busy. The man who took care of us was very nice and mindful. Food was delicious and to high standards. All the staff seemed friendly and helpful.

Found this restaurant on Trip Advisor on the way to Lowestoft, glad we stopped. Lovely welcome and was seated straight away even though the restaurant was busy. The food was delicious and the lamb burger special was very special with the mint mayonnaise. Great service lovely pub great find.

We dropped in for something to eat on a walk and it was a good decision. We were made very welcome straight away, and had a great lunch from a good menu selection & specials board. Local ham, egg and proper chips & chicken in a leek & Stilton sauce, delicious and well cooked and presented. We found space for desserts, which were top notch too - will need to walk a bit more to burn it off but will definitely be back this way

A lovely little pub if we are in the area we will pop in

We took our 89 year old, and 87 year old for lunch, which they loved. The friendly service and quality of the food was extremely good. We will definitely be going back for more.

A genuinely lovely pub: exceptional staff, good food and beer.

Great village pub good atmosphere.

Just came to look around, saw the pub, dropped in had a pint. Asked if we wanted food and figured we were in fact hungry. Both my proper ham egg and chips and the wife’s Mediterranean Tart were lovely. Service was very easy going, friendly and helpful. Nice place to sit outside too. All round vey pleasant

Great little pub with a friendly clientele. Good food and a lovely atmosphere. This pub is supported by the local community so expect to join in with the banter.

Decent boozer, three ales on tap and interesting squirts including orchard thieves cider

Convenient place to meet half way and what a piece of luck to find a friendly pub with delicious home cooked food. The sticky toffee pudding was A*, light and moist with just the right amount of sauce and custard, often a problem with this pudding. Excellent!

A fantastic pub. Lovely atmosphere and great service. The food was really nice. I had an excellent roast beef sandwich and the lamb burger that our group ordered was excellent as well. We took our dog along and he was made very welcome. They really are a dog friendly pub. First visit and we will definitely return.

Tuesday lunch. Food from 12-2. Very friendly staff, good selection of food and drinks, well priced. Dog friendly. I'm tempted to move to Exnin

Love the pub.. love the food and love the people.. amazing place to be xxx

Lovely village pub with a nice atmosphere. The food was very tasty. The people who served us were very helpful.

Superb as always, great welcoming pub, busy, good pub grub, best gravy ever

The white horse is a lovely pub and the food is very good, the bar staff are very friendly and welcoming and it's a warm welcoming atmosphere

Grate friendly place the food grate to the bier strife very help full

Excellent food and service. The owners made you feel very welcome and a really nice atmosphere. We will definitely return in the future

Very friendly welcome and good service. Enjoyed a light lunch and drinks. Booked for a family get together in January.

Wonderful food very good beer great service and a brilliant family run pub be nice to see more places like this one reminds me of good ole English country life

Very welcoming, great atmosphere, food excellent. I would recommend going there. We will definitely be going again . Thank you to all the staff for making our visit so enjoyable x

A lovely vegan curry with rice, naan and poppadoms. Definitely would order it again!

Found this by chance . What a find!! Lovely quirky old fashioned pub. Friendly staff. Fabulous food . We hadn't booked and it was busy but they were very welcoming and found a table for us. Attentive staff but not in your face. Food excellent hubby said his ham was the best he'd tasted. Good prices. Will come again. Thanks for a wonderful lunch

If you are looking for a traditional family run British pub with outstanding home cooked food and real ales then look no further. The White Horse, Exning is all the above and more. I and my wife have been regulars for ten years. Try it and enjoy.

Lovely roast dinner loads of veg and great service

Great family run pub, food amazing and very dog friendly. Highly recommended!

Lovely Saturday lunch at our regular lovely pub. Delicious, well presented and fab salad to accompany my fishcakes. Brilliant pub.

Really friendly family run pub and they made us feel welcome when we dropped by for lunch on a Friday. Excellent good value food served very promptly. Definitely recommend.

Lovely pub! Met up with relatives for lunch. Lovely food, very efficient service. Just beware of the small car park, bit of an accident when I was there. Not me!

A family run pub with a good selection of real ales and other drinks. Two bars to chose from: one for socialising, drinking and watching sport and the other for quieter drinks and mainly used as a resterant. A fantastic family friendly resterant and the specials are highly recommended. Car park on the front and a beer garden that's great for late summer drinking.

Very accommodating to a party of 3 for a business lunch on Wednesday. We arrived close to the end of food service but received a warm welcome, attentive service and great food. Thank you to the team, and we will see you again soon.

Lovely little pub , very friendly and delicious food

Very friendly, family run pub, we was made to feel very welcome. The food was delicious, and our little sausage dog enjoyed her treats!

Friendly staff Nice courtyard garden Easy parking Gets busy but seemed like lots of regulars who were friendly. Dogs welcome

Good pub food, menu good for vegetarians and service was friendly and prompt. Great place for a local pint or a swift bite.

My wife and I picked the White Horse as a convenient stop to break a Guildford to Norwich trip. This is an authentic no frills village pub. Service was really quick and friendly. The staff rustled up our lunches from the specials board really quickly and the meals were tasty and excellent value. Could we’ll return.

What a brilliant pub, we cycled from Haddenham to have a lunch n a few beers. The locals were great n friendly, apparently I am big in Newmarket! 4 real ales all in great condition, food was excellent, pie of the day was a real pie with crust on top n bottom. We had a great afternoon, it was hard cycling back but luckily we managed a pint in The 5 miles before getting home. A bloody great British pub.

The staff were very friendly and the food was excellent, I would highly recommend this pub

Very good food, friendly staff, good service.

Great local experience, friendly staff

Proper pub. Great food and drink. Fantastic hospitality. Cant recommend highly enough. Will definitely use again

Parking a little difficult as on a corner . The garden areas are lovely and one part is synthetic grass. Meals had a wonderful odour from the kitchen and looked appetising but we only stopped for a cold drink. Staff very friendly and the little dachshund saying hello to everyone too. Interior very friendly and quirky but in an old world kind of way. Well worth a visit if your passing. X

Very welcoming nice boozer. especially in the summer as it has a nice outside seating area. Aswell as a nice choice of rare beers and ciders

We found this lovely pub on route on to Red Rooster festival where my partner was DJing. and what a fabulous find. Proper home cooked food and how wonderful that the family who have owned it are still running it 80 or so years later. It's a real treasure to find authentic places like this.. we returned on the way home for a fabulous roast dinner with our friends. Big thanks to Alex and Jack (Brother and sister) and Dad and Mum (chef) We will definitely be back.. Thanks for wonderful hospitality HIghly recommend

All we can say is the management, staff and customers made us feel so welcome. It was 175 mile drive and a pre-booked lunch stop for 4 of us and our spaniel, Millie, en route to the north Norfolk coast. Great hospitality, proficient service, good food. As somebody else has said : a proper pub. We feel we know many people in The White Lion, pity it’s not our local. Well done Jack and crew.

Met a friend here as half way between our homes. Very friendly pub, really busy and had to park on the road, car park full. If a pub is busy it’s usually because it’s good and that is really the case here. We sat in the public bar and it was clean and everyone was friendly. Food really good and great value. Good service. Will definitely go again and would recommend 100%

Nothing too much trouble for the landlord/ ladies so a very pleasant lunch in the courtyard with solid beers - Directors and Pedigree - perfect.

Absolutely top service. Run by lovely, friendly and welcoming people, the White horse is a nice relaxing environment and the food is amazing. I’m vegan and went to this pub for lunch with a non-vegan friend and there was plenty of choice for us both (another plus that no matter your dietary requirements or lifestyle choices, this pub is inclusive of all!) In fact the food and overall experience was so great I have already pre-booked a table to take my family here when they are visiting later in the month. I would highly recommend a visit here!

Absolutely Fabulous! Couldn’t recommend it enough. The service is friendly, helpful, and outstanding while the food is delicious (with daily specials) and the beer fresh. Lovely quaint family-run pub that everyone should visit. Will be back soon.

Absolutely fantastic little gem of a pub. Food was really delicious, the people were incredibly kind and welcoming and the pub itself is very pretty. Not far from the A14, we pulled off rather than going to another services with the same rubbish fast food and we were not disappointed at all.

Great staff ,great service great family business,good food. You should try the club sandwich.

Quite busy . You are allowed to take your dog into the bar. Generous portions we had burger and chips The TV on in background with football on . Pleasant and friendly

Lovely little pub with friendly staff and good food

The staff are always friendly, welcoming, and kind. The pies are AMAZING! It was a treat to get back and enjoy a White Horse lunchtime pie! The food is homemade and superb. Prices are reasonable too. The car park is often full, but on-road parking is possible.

JW Burger 🍔👌👍 Splendid. Highly recommend.

Good choice of ales in tip-top condition. Comfortable bar and restaurant, friendly service. Excellent pub food at very reasonable prices. Apparently been run by the same family for generations, and they are getting good at it. And a bicycle rack with a charging outlet! Unique.

Wow, we were just passing through and decided to stop in. Really enjoyed it. Lovely landlord looked after us so well. Only had some starters and puddings but they were tasty and plenty ! Sat out in lovely sun and courtyard too. Nice surprise for this time of year.

Was good for first date lol, certainly busy with locals !!

Excellent service and food as always

On a visit to the inlaws I searched online for a good Sunday lunch location and saw several reviews for the white horse. I emailed them to book a table and after a few exchanges, table was secured. On arrival we was met and shown...

Great atmosphere, friendly staff and amazing food.

Gorgeous little pub with lovely landlord and amazing, homemade food! Lasagne was so good, and my friend had the mac and cheese burger which looked incredible. Lots of gluten free and vegetarian / vegan options which was refreshing to see. Dog friendly which was lovely...

Couldn't find any faults. 26 booked in for lunch all served with in minutes of each other staff were excellent.

Excellent food, very generous portions. Tradtional pub, very friendly If you are reading this you should go if you have not been...

Home cooked lunch which was tasty and wholesome. Nice atmosphere abs friendly staff.

A couple of minutes detour from our A14 route to the Suffolk coast, this pub is a hidden gem. We'd booked lunch that morning via the website form, and received a friendly welcome from Landlord Jack and locals alike. Very dog friendly in the Public...
