The White Horse in South Somerset

One of our favourite spots, we always try to fit a visit to The White Horse when we're in the area. We love this pub: great service, warm atmosphere and wonderful food. I had the cod dish last night and my husband had the chicken, both were delicious. Needless to say, we'll be back! Thanks to Rebecca, Richard and team for another lovely evening.

Wild garlic and broccoli soup to die for (and yes, it was a gamble to choose it but one that paid off brilliantly). Moist fish. Tasty and varied veg. Beef so good I never got a bite. All this and really friendly, efficient service. Need to go back soon as the vegetarian risotto with celeriac and hazlenuts looked tempting.

We have been coming to the White Horse for the last 12 years. After a hiatus we returned as Mother and Son for a well deserved evening out as Dad was away. The food continues to awe us; the fish was moist and full of flavour, the burger the best he’s had in ages. As always Rebecca and Diane, as front of house, met us with a smile and a kind word. The standards have been consistently great over the years and this is down to teamwork and a love of what they do. We’ll be back soon. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Love this place! The food is fantastic. When we can we always come here for our treat Sunday roast and it is incredible. Last night we had the fish and it was amazing! Delicious and well presented. And the staff are so friendly and welcoming. Also must add a pint of Poretti is always enjoyed! Totally recommend and lucky to have this pub/restaurant so close to home.

We love the White Horse at Haselbury. The welcome is always warm from Rebecca and her team and there is a lovely ambience with a roaring wood burner We had broccoli soup and curried pumpkin to start followed by fish and chips. The food was delicious flavoursome and succulent . Their Sunday roast is the best in the county . We have never been disappointed and it remains our regular favourite Delicious !

We returned to The White Horse after a really poor meal many months ago. I am sorry to say that this was equally awful. Overcooked fish, dry and tasteless, chicken on a tepid plate with nondescript goo passing as sauce. Burnt sauce potatoes. I wish the chef and his wife would bear it in mind that people do t have money to burn these days on bad food. It was simply awful. We will not be either recommending or returning.

Amazing Sunday lunch - we got the roast sharing platter, the chicken was so succulent and tasty, the pork belly was melt in the mouth, and all the sides were just beautiful - I could have eaten a vat of the cauliflower gratin.., Shame it’s not my local, but what a treat to have found on a little holiday ♥️

There was a lovely atmosphere with families enjoying a delicious Sunday lunch. Went with my sister who can be v critical but she had nothing but praise for service, food and wine list.

Had a really outstanding dinner here. Hands down the most delicious sea bass I've had in a long time followed by a stunning pineapple and passion fruit pavlova. Warm service and beautiful surroundings. Would highly recommend! Thank you!

Outstanding Sunday lunch with brilliant service. The sharing Sunday lunch was fantastic as well as the scrumptious desserts. We will be visiting again definitely.

Another exceptional meal at The White Horse. The steak was superb. So lucky to have this as our local. Weekday treat this time but the Sunday lunch is the best in the area. Booking essential Thanks as always to Rebecca and the team .

What a lovely find. Really well cooked food, great service and very nice wine. Worth driving out for :)

Friendly relaxed atmosphere created by a close team who enjoy their job. The food is a flavour experience, every mouthful tasted wonderful, it is clear that the Chef and his team both care and enjoy producing delicious dishes. Has become our go to Xmas location, this being our second year, and whilst they remain producing food to this level and we remain physically able, we will enjoy many more.

One of the best roast dinners I’ve ever had!!

One of the best Sunday roast dinners I’ve had

12 out of 10....Fabulous staff and Service. Food to die for.

Amazing roast dinner. The restaurant was full and there was a great atmosphere.

Great Sunday roast and very lovely,accommodating staff

Staying with friends in the village and we went here for dinner. A wonderfully warm welcome and exceptional food. Highly recommended!

Peaceful country pub with an excellent chef who provides an innovative menu with Italian under-tones. Personal and smiling service to table. A place well worth seeking out.

Simply incredible. The roast is the best in Somerset bar none. My parents have driven an hour here twice to join me now! Highly recommended. Friendly staff, perfect service, lovely beer and wine. 5 star 🌟 My pooch was welcome too. Keep up the good work Richard and Rebecca 👏

Gem of a pub! Lovely host and delicious food well worth the detour

As always, super friendly staff, very good service and some of the best food in the area! 5 stars from our table!

Beautifully presented and delicious Sunday roast.

Great steak meal ? lovely people highly recommended

We were staying in the next village and The White Horse was recommended. During our 2 weeks in Somerset and Devon we ate at many pubs and had great meals but this one was the best. We liked it so much we ate here again the next day. The care and attention put into each dish is evident in the taste and presentation. Friendly service cannot be faulted. Highly recommend.

We had an excellent meal. Started with charcuterie board which was perfect for three of us. We then all had the hake which was superb. Beautifully cooked. Rebecca worked so hard … front of house/drinks/waitress..always with a smile. Puddings were lovely. Overall experience was 100%….sort of don’t want to share this wonderful place with anyone!!

We were staying in the village for our honeymoon and had dinner here several times. The food was delicious and plentiful and the staff friendly and attentive. Special mention for Becky who worked her socks off and always with a smile . See you next time 😄

Had an amazing Sunday Lunch here today. We chose the sharing platter so had a mix of roast beef, pork snd chicken all succulent and cooked to perfection. Served with lovely crunchy roast potatoes, and the remaining veg were equally superb. Roasted beetroot but somehow nicer than mine. Tastiest carrots, cabbage and cauliflower cheese. More than we could eat. Served promptly and hot to the table. I have to say it’s one of the best roasts I’ve ever had.

Great food, lovely staff, superb setting. Will be back

Very good service for our mid week meal.

Lovely small pub with amazing food & friendly staff, I would definitely recommend! The only reason I can’t give 5 stars is because the parking situation isn’t great.

What a find. We showed up as a party of 25 ish with 4 well-behaved and sociable dogs and including lots of children at 2pm on a sunny Saturday, having walked across the fields from our campsite. We should have booked, but fortunately we were post-lunch rush. The team accommodated us easily, and the kitchen turned out fabulous food in impressive time, considering the number of us. It was idyllic, the service was great, and we felt very lucky to be there. I hope this pub goes from strength to strength. Please seek it out, in this beautiful village and part of the world (and don’t be like us, do the kitchen a favour and book!)

More like a Michelin star restaurant without the prices. Staff were very accommodating and relaxed. The food.... Omg the food!!!! All food is cooked from scratch, even the brioche buns for the burger! The flavours are immense! Outstanding presentation. Beautiful garden to enjoy their finest wines. We loved it so much we booked in for the next evening! Well done team!

Do not be put off by the absence of thatch and olde worlde style, this is a a really good village pub with a very pretty garden. We had Hake which was perfectly cooked, delicious, and a proper home made burger with first class chunky chips. A little focaccia with a delicious and interesting home made hummus to keep us going for the few minutes wait for our food. Excellent hot coffee. We will be returning when next near Crewkerne!

Sunday Lunch was amazing so were the staff go for the Sunday lunch-sharing platter comes with pork belly, roast beef and chicken all cooked really well

We are returning customers to the white horse….it never disappoints! Fab food (especially the steak) and great service. It was a warm evening when we visited, so we also got to enjoy a drink in the lovely garden. We will keep returning!

We were last here a year ago and had a fantastic meal but not so this time. Whilst the staff are all lovely quality has taken a purler and we were clearly given the impression to eat up as fast as we could. Now I wouldn’t say I like waiting for the food to come, this time it arrived within a couple of minutes of ordering and before we had time to get a pre lunch drink. And then the portions of meat were TINY , the pork being 3 cubes about the size of an ice cube, the chicken a chunk of chicken breast and the beef was only so-so. Mind you the shortage of meat was make up by an overload of vegetables. So overall nothing like it was last time and at £18.95 overpriced.

An absolutely perfect evening. Good choice on the menu, delicious food and absolutely fantastic wine. Not only that, the service was good, attentive, helpful and smiling. Another wonderful evening at the White Horse. Thank you everyone.

Fantastic Sunday Roast, the best roast lunch I have ever tasted, although expensive.

Been here several times now snd never ever disappointed. Food, service and ambience are always spot on. Being dog friendly is another big bonus

Went for lunch with my cousin Rowan. Amazing Spagbol. Garden area was lovely

I gave the Whitehorse a rather bad review and they were very apologetic and invited us back. They must have had an off day with us because today was outstanding. A warm welcome, great table (9 of us) and excellent friendly service. Charcuterie starter was spot on, served with crisp, warm bread. The Sunday lunch was great. Proper cut meat, excellently cooked, veg with a crunch and great Yorkies. 10 out of 10. Will be going back.

This is one of our favourite places to eat. We come here for Sunday lunch, for birthday dinners, when friends are over, or just when we want to have good food. The food is always great, the service is excellent, and the pub is always welcoming. You will not be disappointed.

Our second visit to this pub was slightly disappointing, the food was up to standard but we were continually rushed by the waitress despite asking her to slow down.

Sunday Sharing Platter to die for! Each time we visit this area from Oxford we book in and it never disappoints ⭐️ Gorgeous pork belly with crackling, moist chicken breast and rare beef with the lightest Yorkshire puddings, roast beetroot, cabbage, carrots, gravy and incredible tartar sauce. The sticky toffee pudding was incredible as was the icecream with hot chocolate sauce. Service was helpful, kind and attentive

Exciting menu, reasonably priced, friendly staff, lovely location....... I could go on!!!! A little gem in the heart of Somerset. London restaurant quality at out of town prices!!!!

Simply incredible food! We've visited The White Horse on many occasions and will continue to do so in the future, the food has been delicious every time. Lovely cosy atmosphere with a roaring fire, can tell it's a family run business. The staff are always...

We arrived as 9 and were given a table squeezed into the middle of the floor space making it rather cramped both for us and the staff serving us. We sat down and were asked if we wanted the Sunday lunch which everybody did and...

Another delicious and more than ample Sunday lunch with wonderful friends. Cheerful, friendly and speedy service from the White Horse team once again. Highly recommended.

Visited for a works Christmas lunch. Food was excellent with friendly efficient service. Will go again.

Fabulous meal and delightful staff with a cosy environment Brilliant

Lovely setting with a warm welcome, delicious food and charming service. We will definitely be back soon

Can't usually be bothered to write reviews but I was so impressed with the White Horse I felt inspired to. Charming interior, great staff and the yummiest risotto I've ever had. Definitely going back.

We took the our daughter and her family for Sunday lunch at the White Horse to celebrate my birthday. We were not disappointed and to say that they enjoyed it is an understatement! When we arrived at 12.30 the open plan bar/dining area was already...

Best food I've had in a while also really friendly staff ! Nice atmosphere

The best food around! The loveliest pub and amazing customer service.

Another visit to this very popular restaurant yesterday. Their Sunday shared platter is always top notch and good value. The staff are friendly and welcoming despite being very busy due to its popularity. Thank goodness we have such a brilliant restaurant close by.

Fantastic food and a great service

Had a delicious lunch today sitting under the shade of a tree in the garden. Home made burger and triple cooked chips with chipotle mayo. Delicious. Followed by apple and rhubarb crumble with vanilla ice cream. Crunchiest crumble topping I've ever had. Yum. Excellent service, lovely surroundings. Will definitely go again

We love this place. The food is to die for. We came for Sunday lunch with visiting friends and sat in the garden. We had the roast sharing board with 3 meats the most delicious veg. Great choice of wine and delicious draft beer. Class...

Good food and excellent service. Reasonable prices too.

Lovely food and good beer in a lovely old country pub building. Only open Wednesday to Sunday - check

Great food, friendly efficient staff.

A gastro pub serving amazing food. We had belly pork which was really tasty, masterchef territory. Chicken breast and hake and chips, both done to perfection. Veg and potatoes very good. Portions generous, too. Can't comment on the beer but the scrumpy cider was good. Nice Chilean merlot too. Desserts excellent, especially the chocolate terrine. Dog friendly with attentive and friendly staff and prompt service. Only 5 parking places but it's possible to park on the narrow lane nearby at a pinch.

Excellent Sunday roast sharing platter for two and great beer.

Lovely Sunday lunch with the family, lots of roast potatoes and delicious veg but the meat was a bit sparse. Good service.

We enjoyed another high standard Sunday sharing platter lunch today at one of our local favourite eateries which has never disappointed over many years. Despite being so busy, the staff are always extremely attentive. At £17.50 per person for consistently beautifully prepared, top quality ingredients...

Really good quality and delicious food. A bit pricey.

It just gets better and better. We have been coming to the White Horse regularly since we moved to Dorset 6 years ago. It is consistently superb. The Sunday lunch is deservedly the stuff of legends but the A La Carte menu is also not...

The Sunday Share Platter is excellent, with beef, pork and chicken accompanied by six veg. We sat outside and enjoyed a leisurely lunch helping ourselves from the serving dishes, so much better than a full plate!

Really lovely food! Absolutely loved the Devon chicken breast, especially the caramelized onions. Really like the desserts. They're sorbet the apple crumble and the vanilla ice cream with chocolate. Also really recommend the seafood. The atmosphere is incredible. I really felt at home. The service as well, just brilliant. If I was ever driving past here again I would definitely come.

Lovely pub, very nice sorbet and great food. Enjoy your time here :)

Absolutely amazing food and brilliant staff 👏

Simply the best Sunday lunch. A real treat.

Delicious food. Would totally recommend.

We were staying a short walk from here, the food here was very nice and the staff were friendly. I would definitely recommend. Also maybe worth booking, I think we were lucky as it was quite busy

Fantastic A la carte menu. Quick service and friendly staff. Duck was good.

We had outstanding food here and been 3 times so far this year. Probably the best arancini I have ever tasted. Fish main course was to die for. Whomever your chefs are hang onto them for dear life!!!

Food equivalent to michelin star restaurant! Owner/chef was so accommodating to my dietary needs and I'd only booked couple of hours before! Waiting staff service first class and I shall definitely want to visit again when back in the area. Highly recommend!!!

Really good food and simple varied menu. Reasonably priced. Good service and overall highly recommended

Previously had only visited for the sumptuous Sunday roast board. Came on a Wednesday evening. Stunning food: cauliflower cheese soup, scotch egg, imam balyidi and beef to die for. Great service and value. Didn’t really have room for the crumble.

Visited today with the family and WOW I can honestly say the best Sunday roast I have ever had.will definitely be back. The staff were so friendly and helpful Thank you

Fabulous food, great atmosphere, friendly staff.

Superb Sunday lunch. Thoroughly recommend it. Lovely hosts and attentive staff.

Best Sunday Roast, fantastic atmosphere and staff.

Visited a few weeks ago for a friend's birthday for Sunday lunch. Never visited before but all we had heard was that the food was amazing. And they were right! Roast platter or a la carte menu available. Good portion sizes, lovely tasty ingredients, friendly attentive staff. Would highly recommend.

Had lunch here on a Thursday. It is a warm and welcoming place the hostess was very friendly and helpful. There is a good menu and the food was excellent, well cooked and beautifully presented.

Everything we had been recommended about. Friendly and attentive service. Fantastic Sunday lunch with meat platter of Roast Pork, Chicken and Beef. Sumptuous vegetables and gravy to go with it. Menu looks decent for veggies too. Crumble and Crème Brûlée were excellent as well. The...
