The White Horse in Suffolk Coastal

Charming staff, amazing food and a very charming atmosphere!

Great food great service lovely staff very attentive lovely place for a roast dinner lovely atmosphere very welcoming will visit again 10 out 10

One of our very favourite pubs! Lovely relaxed atmosphere, very friendly and helpful staff. A very good menu which is a bit more interesting than many pubs. This time I enjoyed a very tasty pasta dish and my other half the beef brisket. Food was excellent, good portions and reasonably priced. We shall be back when next in the area.

We stayed at the nearby Colston hall which was a lovely place to stay but a little too far to walk and no taxis were available as a drive. The White Horse Inn had great reviews was two minutes away and there is a great selection on the menu. We had the roasted halibut and the duck, the mussels, the pork crackling and the Goats cheese as a starter. The menus was a nice change from standard Pub food and it was all excellent! Prices were very reasonabletoo.

Lovely food, I would recommend the beef brisket with horseradish mash, delicious. My visit was at lunchtime midweek so the bar area where I ate accompanied by my dog was empty except for myself.

Food was amazing, I don’t think I’ve eaten better pub food in my entire life. 5/5 must come. Great selection of drinks and very friendly staff. Food could’ve come a bit faster but everything else was so amazing it had to be 5 stars. Would definitely recommend anyone in the area eating here.

A great village pub and friendly staff

Beautiful cosy pub , friendly staff , food was excellent will return again !

Had a really good Sunday lunch! Visited over 4 years ago and it wasn’t up to much. However, today was the total opposite. A delicious Sunday lunch meal and the staff were really friendly and attentive.

Excellent service, food, ambience could not fault it highly recommended we had Belly pork and Chicken and bacon pie. Melt in the mouth food. Staff were lovely place is delightful. Highly recommended.

We enjoyed a drink and meal here and found the food to be of good standard and presented well. We were also able to enjoy the surroundings with our Swissie as the place was dog friendly. The staff were very welcoming and chatty and they seemed to like Ed Sheeran music.

Popped in for s quick drink. The place looks lovely will be going back to sample the food soon.

Very great pub with very good food. The Pork Belly was to die for! The staff was very friendly and accommodating.

The first time we have been there since the refurbishment and new owners. Lovely resteraunt and bar, great food and attentive service. We will definitely be returning.

A really nice place to visit and eat. We have stayed here on 2 occasions previously and the place certainly looks to have had a tasteful facelift since change of ownership. The 2 meals we had last night were both plentiful and hot and the staff were nice too. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend eating here and we would certainly return if in the area.

Had a lovely anniversary dinner at the White Horse. The menu was very varied and interesting, and food was delicious. Very good service and a nice atmosphere.

Great meal here today . Very accommodating staff . Extensive varied menu . Gorgeous old pub with lovely extensive gardens . Well kept beer . Food was extremely tasty & well presented, would recommend this place . Thank you to all staff .

This used to be a lovely old pub. We visited often for Sunday Lunch, when the place was buzzing and the food was fine. New owners have sanitised the inside and the atmosphere is gone. We went for Thursday dinner and there were few customers in the restaurant. The service was haphazard and the food only adequate. A shame.

The food is great service lovely highly recommend

Good food at a good price and a full plate. Don't like to leave food so serving could of been a little smaller and I would not of struggled to finish which could of also meant slighly cheaper. Only had the one course of fish and chips plus mushy peas. Nice atmosphere but if popular when weather cools inside may feel a little cramped.

We thoroughly enjoyed our impromptu stop at The White Horse Inn on our way home from an afternoon at the beach. Staff all very welcoming and smiley/friendly. Largeish garden with plenty of outside seating. Dogs welcome, although only in the bar side or outside areas..doggy biscuits available for your waggy friend/s. Water bowl also available for dogs. Food was excellent - highly recommend the fish pie; the cheesy potato topping was delicious. Great find. They're a chain, so other inns from the group yet to be sampled/visited.

Wow! What a great find during out stay in Suffolk! Food was amazing...so tasty and plentiful. We were so impressed, we visited 3 times in our 5 day stay! If we visit Suffolk again, we will definitely return!

Wow! What a great find during out stay in Suffolk! Food was amazing...so tasty and plentiful. During our visits we had pork loin, cod, scampi, coated chicken and dessert too....all recommended. We were so impressed, we visited 3 times in our 5 day stay! If we visit Suffolk again, we will definitely return!

We stayed for two nights in the shepherds hut and would recommend to anyone. The hut itself had all the amenities you’d hope for plus more, the breakfast hamper is a great addition with lovely produce and great portions. The hut was clean, quiet, comfy bed and the decor was really nice. It has outdoor seating with table. The location is a great base for exploring the local towns (I recommend a trip to southwold) but you will need a car as there isn’t much in the town of badingham itself, and no shops in walking distance. The pub on site is excellent, the staff are friendly and welcoming - and the food is great! It’s not a super lively pub so you still get peace and quiet in your hut in the evenings but has a great atmosphere in the afternoons. Would love to visit again!

Stunning food very happy 😀😀 Please open some pubs in Hertfordshire 😃😃

Been before ,1st time booked didn't get food till 1 hour after orders ,2 nd time was all good till dessert lemon possit was not set like water, 3rd time was not good at all chips not cooked less cold , pasta fish was like watter

A lovely old country pub/restaurant with lovely garden seating for the good weather. Four of us went for Sunday lunch. Table booked, all OK. However, three of us had the beef Sundsy roast, which was very disappointing, very chewy. The management did give us a discount on our bill but unfortunately would think twice before eating there again.

Fantastic food as always 😋 love it. Good prices and fantastic food.

Nice pub. Foods good and s good plate full, definitely won't be hungry when you leave. Old timber framed pub with a comfortable bar with a fire in the winter months also a fire in the restaurant side as well. Plenty of seating outside if you wish. New owners since this review but very much the same still. Visited on a Monday night and loads of folks about which is always a good sign.

Our prawn starters were delicious. I found the chicken and ham pie too salty, but the chips were very good. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Quintessential country pub, great food, great service, not overpriced, dog friendly, why can’t all pubs be like this?

Fabulous place, fabulous food. Highly recommended.

A short walk from the Waterpump CL where we were parked up for the night. The food was very good. Service excellent. If only all pubs could match this level it would be wonderful. A pleasant evening in the garden. The pork belly was absolutely superb.

We have just had a lovely meal here tonight . Service 5 star . Will be returning and would recommend

We had a family get-together at the White Horse last Saturday (22nd June), a lovely old country pub. Everyone enjoyed their meal. My wife and l were on holiday in the area and we enjoyed our previous meal so much we made a return visit a few days later. Once again, we enjoyed an excellent meal, our waitress was very friendly chatting about our holiday and the shepherd's huts accommodation inviting us to have a look if we were interested. My wife had a steak on both occasions, and it was cooked exactly to her liking each time. My beef and ale rosemary suet pudding on our 1st visit and cod loin on our 2nd were both very tasty. There is a lovely beer garden at the front of the pub and as is was a very pleasant evening we finished our drinks there before heading off. We holiday every year in the area, and we will definitely visit again. Highly recommended.

We came across this pub by accident, driving back from Southwold. Luckily they managed to fit us in for dinner and even though we had to sit in the bar, it was a great find. Comfy seats, modern interior and good service. I had the cod loin and my partner had the pork belly. Both were equally tasty and we would recommend.

Food excellent, staff so happy, friendly and helpful. Great value and lovely grounds

A repeat visit to this pub - holidaymaker not a local. Really pleased at refurb - makes the inside lighter & brighter. Nice garden. The food was fabulous.

Didn't have food will next time we go very friendly people

Lovely friendly pub. Very welcoming. Food looked delicious

Great food, great value. A rare thing these days...

We were thrilled to discover that this pub had reopened and we visited recently for a Sunday lunch, it did not disappoint. We both chose the roast beef, it was delicious, served with a variety of excellently cooked vegetables, everything was so flavoursome especially the side of cauliflower cheese which was amazing! We sat in the lovely beer garden, there are plenty of tables, the garden area is very well maintained, pretty and peaceful. The inside dining was immaculate and smart. The staff were warm, friendly and professional and the service was excellent. We have nothing but praise for this delightful country pub. Can't wait to return!

Only stopped for a dring. Lovely pub and very friendly service. Fantastic settings and garden to sit in being really well looked after.

We were staying nearby and liked it so much we came three times in 4 days. Terryaki cod was wonderful steak pie too , also soft in the middle scotch egg,chicken supreme,lambs liver all beautifully cooked and served by the lovely ladies. Nice beer garden for the better weather and an idyllic green bowls lawn to watch the teams play. You couldn’t fault this piece of rural Suffolk life. 💕

Lovely pub but disappointing good Good belly pork, chewy beef and very poor roast potatoes .so much potential.

Excellent service, polite and friendly staff. Sunday lunch was slightly underwhelming, too much food, the gravy ran of the edges of the plate, and beef was a bit chewy. Less food and better quality would be great.

We used to come here often before it closed and we have been waiting to try it again and we weren't disappointed. The service was excellent. The food was faultless. I had the beer battered prawns for starters which had a really crispy batter and the prawns were soft, not hard like some places. Then the pork belly which was beautiful. It is rolled and slow cooked with a rich gravy. My wife had the pork balls for starters which were in a really tasty mustard sauce. The beef suet pie was outstanding. I really could not fault what we had. Thank you to all the staff for making this a wonderful return to the White Horse. We will be back.

What a find. Great food, excellent service too. Will be back for sure.

On a Thursday night, while we were staying in the area, we originally planned to go to the Dennington Queen for an early dinner but they couldn't fit us even though it was almost empty (they had 'later bookings'). This was probably fortunate because we moved on to the White Horse and they greeted us warmly, we could not have felt more welcome. The restaurant is a lovely old room with plenty seating although there is also the option to sit outside in a well tended garden. We shared a starter, a generous portion of fat whitebait, followed by lambs liver and chicken supreme, both main meals were delicious. The sauce with the chicken supreme was marvellous with a background flavour of chorizo oil (it just worked). The lambs liver had been gently cooked and was still soft with a pink middle just as it should be. To drink I had some good cask beer and my wife had an inexpensive but fresh tasting New Zealand sauvignon. Overall a very enjoyable meal, recommended.

Have to say that we were attracted by the current 50% off ‘mains’. That meant we turned a 2 course meal in to a 3 course – at least for me. It was all good – service – just right with a personal touch; food – lovely being wholesome, tasty and nutritious; general ‘feeling’ – comfortable. I loved the peach crumble with plenty of custard – massive! Looking forward to a repeat.

Excellent - Offer on main courses available on Wednesdays until end of April. Good value, really nice food! Service was very polite and friendly with no rush between courses. Waitress appeared when required for drink or next courses etc. Will gladly visit again even after offer closes

First time back for years found it very nice and staff very accommodating

Warm & Welcoming. An unexpected find but will be back. We stopped for a light lunch which we thoroughly enjoyed. I had the vegetarian option Bang Bang Cauliflower. Delicious

Lovely lunchtime snack. Staff where jovial and very helpful. I recommend this establishment.

Dropped in by chance. Highly recommend. Excellent food and service, very pleasant atmosphere. Try it you won't be disappointed

Quiet at 18.00 on a Monday hence 1 star dropped for atmosphere but really nice pub, very attentive, helpful and friendly staff. Food was excellent in presentation, taste and quantity and on a half price deal! Could not be better 😀 We had the classic pie and the chicken supreme.

This was our first visit since the pub re-opened and we were keen to try it and it didn't disappoint. The decor has been refreshed but still has a cosy atmosphere. The staff were friendly and helpful. We found a good selection on the menu at reasonable prices. The food was of good quality, generous portions and well presented. I thoroughly enjoyed my halloumi burger as did my husband enjoy his fish and chips. When we are next in the area will undoubtedly have a meal here again.

Lizzie was fantastic, very attentive to our needs. The food was superb. We had some questions about the contents of the dishes and either Lizzie knew the answer or came back with the answer very swiftly. 10/10 the best food and service we've had in a while! Special mother's day menu and a complimentary glass of prosecco 🥂 A lovely touch 💕

Fabulous food and friendly service in yet another beautiful old Suffolk pub. You guys are so lucky up here!

Under new management, staff very knowledgeable about the menu which caters for all, had a very pleasant Sunday lunch for two with a couple of drinks a cider and bloody Mary and a coffee for £40 highly recommended

Staff were very welcoming and the food choices were good. I had the stew with dumplings it was exceptional.

A lovely place for a tasty meal at a good price. Excellent staff.

Lovely cosy pub and restaurant with varied, good value menu and friendly efficient staff. Recently spruced up by new owners and now even better than it was before - which was very good. So pleased it has re-opened.

Another great Sunday lunch visit. Roast beef was tasty, cauliflower cheese was very cheesy, lovely! And red cabbage was a nice surprise as not too sweet as can be sometimes, good choice! ‘Special’ pigeon starter was not bad, maybe a touch too much beetroot purée and as that was cold the pigeon wasn’t that hot. But very tasty nonetheless! Staff attentive but not intrusive. Only down side was we were near the door and unfortunately a fair few people came through to use the facilities who were obviously born in a barn or oblivious to the fact that the cold air was blowing through. We did get up a few times to shut the doors, and the staff were kind enough to offer us another table. Well worth another visit, we need to try the weeknight menu!

Nice beer nice decor. Pathway from car park to pub poorly lit.

Excellent food and excellent service and good value for money

Gorgeous pub with cosy bar and massive beer garden. Just popped by for a mulled wine on Christmas Eve. Friendly staff and dog friendly.

Really nice pub inside and out great food and drink

Friendly and good food with the added bonus that it's dog friendly in the bar.

Outstanding food and service can't wait to go back in the new year

Had a gorgeous lunch with friends. Place was stunning and the staff were lovely. I had pie and it was completely delicious. Warm, friendly, clean and exactly what you want from a pretty country pub. Will 100% make an effort to stop by again!

Lovely food ,lovely pub,lovely people !

Sunday 18th Nov Good food and excellent service from the friendly quietly efficient staff, all for a reasonable price of £63.00 for a 3 course Sunday meal for two including a drink each. Let down slightly by the very small (large egg cup) portion of custard with the crumble. And, charged £8.00 for the Prawn Cocktail starter, even though it was priced at £7.00 on the "Specials" board!?!? Hence knocked five stars back to four.

Just popped in as we were walking the dog Very friendly and good service.

This pub reopened in the summer and what a lovely pub it is! We sat in the bar area with the log burner which kept us warm! The bar staff were friendly and the atmosphere was comfortable! The menu looked good and we were tempted to order food but we didn’t as we will be back! A little gem in Suffolk!

My wife and I ate here and cannot fault the staff, food or the pub itself. The two ladies working there (Monday 30 Oct early afternoon) were excellent and represented the pub very well. The food was excellent and the service spot on. We will definitely return next time we are in the area and can’t recommend it enough.

Staying in the area overnight and booked the White Horse for evening meal . Great food at sensible prices , friendly and attentive staff . Thank you . Parking was a little bit on the limited side at busy times .

6 of us had a 1230 Saturday lunch here and was great! Staff friendly and helpful, food fresh, hot, flavoursome, really keenly priced and timely service. Lovely to see the pub open again with such a serious commitment by Moss & Co. Thoroughly recommend a stop off.

Went out of curiosity as it has been refurbished. Sadly the Bar area has completely lost us appeal very few tables narrow banquets and two ridiculously tall tables by the fire with high stools. For starters chop the legs off the tables and get 8 more covers 2 people came in and walked out as obvpiously didnt want to perch. Very pleasant ladies in the bar sadly dont sell Aspells cider!!!?? Dining room looked better and good to see it busy

Great food, great choices. Service with a smile. Dietary requirements catered for. Sat in a welcoming warm dining room beside an open fire.....what's not to like. We will return.

Just had a great meal. Friendly, quick service and delicious food - perfect 👌

Monday might not be the best evening to visit but we went with friends and were warmly greeted with smiles and a roaring log fire. Two of us had liver, bacon and mash which was tasty, the fish and chips looked huge and my wife thought the brisket was cooked to perfection. It wasn't packed but sufficient customers to create a pleasant atmosphere.

Decent pub food, friendly service

Popped in from Framlingham, for a quick lunch with colleagues. Very friendly, helpful staff. The food was good quality. I had fried chicken, which was hot and crispy with excellent chips (frite style). OK simple enough but it was well cooked, well presented and very tasty. The service was prompt and the food was reasonably priced. So I can't fault the experience. I will return.

Such a beautiful place and the staff are great, felt so welcome and looked after.

A great pub with very good food. Staff were friendly and attentive.

Have visited twice, once for Sunday roast, and then our last evening before heading home. Both meals were superb, so tasty and freshly cooked food, 10/10, service was excellent, couldn’t do enough for us. Good beer, just a great experience, hope to revisit!

Great Sunday lunch, lovely fresh food and plentiful! Roast beef was lovely, gravy great and roasties were very good. Staff were very pleasant, courteous and attentive, great service. Expect to leave full and content!

Last minute booking for Sunday lunch as we had the urge for a roast. Having tried a number of others in the area we wanted to try somewhere new. Lovely place, great decor and spacious dining area, tables not close together and huge! We had starters which were great, home made, tasty and plentiful. Probably just a me thing, I had the terrine and felt it was overwhelmed with the mound of mustard seeds on it as garnish. Not a problem as I just moved them to one side. Roast beef was lovely and pink, and plentiful, veg was lovely (I’m a sucker for red cabbage), Yorker was a bit doughie but still tasty, but the best bit for me was the roasties which were pretty damn good, and the lovely gravy! Shame no cauli cheese but can’t win them all. Huge portions too so be prepared. Great place, great food, will be back!

Nearest pub to our accommodation so gave it a try. Lucky strike! Waitress with a sense of humour, fabulous food and a specials board that changes daily. Came back for seconds 2 days later.

Fantastic food, great service, freindly staff.

Food lovely staff very helpful.

Great food, service, and drinks ...well worth visiting...will certainly come back.

Amazing place to eat and drink. Food was exceptional, the service was quick and the servers were so friendly. Loved coming here with my family I definitely recommend. Such a lovely place!!!

Popped in for 2 drinks with family, 2x double tiki pineapple and lemonade. Was charged £11, when previously ive paid £15.30, £15 and £16 for the SAME drinks…Poorly managed with staff who are unaware of what they are selling and the prices to match. As...

We decided to visit last minute but we were made to feel very welcome. There were 4 adults and 2 babies in the group. The service from start to end was excellent. Wendy, in particular, was extremely helpful, friendly and personable. The food was excellent....

Very nice place to go and chill. Stayed at the Colston Hall. Word of warning. Walk at own risk. There are no paths to here. Loved the thrill of walking to this place though. Taxi home though chaps. It’s nice sober, but crazy drunk. Greeted well by the staff. Love the yard to sit out and drink. Inside is nice too. Look forward to booking a room here.

Enjoyed an amazing meal here this evening was awesome thank you to the chefs Adam and Shane.Service is spot on and Thank you to a happy and smiley waitress Megan and brilliant bar staff.Thank you.

We came here on the off-chance having not been able to find anywhere to eat in Southwold and we were not disappointed. Will definitely return for another meal.

We had chicken katsu curry in a bucket and special macaroni cheese with chicken and wild mushrooms....soooo tasty! Gorgeous tender chicken, generous portions and piping hot. We opted for cheeseboard and Eton mess for dessert.. again fantastic! Service excellent...friendly and accommodating. We will tell all...
