The White Horse in Suffolk Coastal

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Really nice pub inside and out great food and drink

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...

Lovely restaurant, beautiful inside. Well designed and clean. Dinner was delicious.

Lovely pub restaurant in the middle of beautiful Little Waltham. Would definitely recommend

Excellent specials board, we enjoyed the ham and cheese croquettes followed by mackerel with capers and tomato salsa. Ghost ship bitter on special. Plenty of seating outside. Water available for dogs.

A fresh clean pub / restaurant which was very busy for a lunch time. Staff were excellent and very friendly. Food was all finished which in my eyes is a great sign. Well worth a visit and we will be returning

Disappointing food let down the experience. The staff were friendly and helpful, even if a bit too quick to tidy glasses away, but the food was average to poor. I had a simple pub classic, pie of the day and mash, but the pastry was...

Despite booking . No one to greet us. Left waiting 5 mins. Restaurant empty at 7.00pm . Unfortunately table we sat gave us an awful insight into kitchen... dirty floor and worktops and staff not doing what you wanted to see... entrance very dirty despite...

Excellent burger patty flavour. Lovely meal overall. Other family members had chicken katsu bucket which was very nice and a good sized portion. Clean, friendly attentive staff. Maybe needs a few more mainstream main course choices but overall very good. Will be back

Only stopped for a drink. Under new management this Inn is excellent friendly staff ,gardens great. We will go back for a meal.

Had a really good meal here. Good selection of ales and beers too. Great atmosphere and staff were very friendly and helpful.

We revisited the White Horse gladly as it’s finally open again. It’s such a beautiful spot and the new owners have retained all the charm and beauty which made this pub so attractive. Sadly, this is where the magic stops. There used to be big...

Lovely pub in a beautiful setting, only stopped for a pint but was a really nice place to stop, being a moss & co I can imagine the food is great as all the others I have been to are.

Had a Sunday lunch. Plates were cold as were the veg. Disappointed.,

Very clean and fresh looking, amazed that they use the mini jam pots as salt & peppers, & for their sauces 🤔 Food ok, but why pour sauce over chicken resulting in soggy chips underneath? Was very disappointed when I made my booking, that when...

Been coming here for years and loved it under last owner (cosy decor, brilliant menu). Was sad to see it closed, and nervous when discovered it had been bought by a chain. Finally opened a couple of weeks ago and we made it there today. Staff are young but keen and friendly. Decor - yes, it’s uniform and lacks the quirk factor, but it’s all clean and tidy - think restaurant throughout as opposed to pub. Menu much more limited than before and not as adventurous but the food was cooked well and portion sizes good. We enjoyed our lunch and will be back - although note to owners - own goal if dog owners can’t book (even for the bar). Perhaps rethink that?

Lovely pub, in a beautiful spot on route to Southwold, it’s just a shame the traditional pub interior has been removed and replaced with soulless furnishings (presumably by new management). Stick to dinning or drinking outside in the beer garden or pub garden instead.

We were staying locally for one night (Tuesday) and did not realise how popular places to eat are in the area. We did not book, but we are glad that they managed to fit us in anyway. We had fish and chips, with mushy peas...

We stopped here because it looked well kept, pretty and organised. Service was efficient and prompt. However, when the main courses arrived the vegetarian option was utterly bland and tasteless. As per usual in British eateries, waiting staff are 6th former heavy and diners inherit...

We chose to revisit a friend’s old haunt and enjoyed a very good pub lunch (fish and chips and burgers) sitting outside in the garden. The pub inside and out looks very well presented. So being one of the better days this month it was...

Friendly welcome when we arrived. Very good menu, short, which I always think is a good thing. The food was really tasty.

Fantastic experience - friendly staff, efficient service and the food cooked to perfection. Living next to another Moss and Co pub, we were keen to check out the newest one and our expectations were exceeded. The WHite Horse is in a picturesque location and the...

Glad to see the pub back up and running. Had 2 meals here so far, both very nice, nice staff, grounds well maintained. lovely spot Chicken in a bucket fantastic.

Came to try after reopening We could not fault it. Excellent welcoming service Delicious food (sea bass highly recommended) Fantastic atmosphere Highly recommended!

We have always loved badingham and we're regulars before it closed we decided to try it now its reopened and how disappointed we were we were sat at our table with menus no drinks offered or specials explained they took our drink order after sometime and then our meals I thought id try the £24 rump steak so I thought it would be amazing sadly it wasn't 2 small mushrooms small tomato and chips and my partner had the southern fried chicken with chips and the chicken was only just cooked during our meal the waitress who certainly was not smiley or cheerful walked past our table twice without asking if we were happy with our meal we finished our meal plates not cleared we we went to pay I expressed my concerns with the meal and service to a gentleman behind the bar who to be honest could not have cared less just apologised he said he was trying to train the staff well in my experiences of working in this trade train the staff before opening we shall unfortunately not return which is such as shame as it was one of our favourites

Great meal, fantastic pub with lovely new owners. Thanks Moss & Co, brilliant to have our village pub back open.

We are so glad to see the White Horse back open and having had a fresh makeover. The food was delicious and served in good time by friendly young staff. The price was very reasonable.

Great to see this local landmark open again. Great food and beer selection. I wish the new owners the best of luck.

We have booked and paid for a room for our wedding anniversary on 26 March. They have taken our money and I now realise they are shut! I have made numerous attempts to contact them for a refund all to no avail. you can still book rooms via their website. DO BOT BOOK A ROOM. YOU WILL LOSE YOUR MONEY! I am just grateful we found out before travelling there and finding it shut!!

Disgraceful behaviour. We should be staying there this weekend, all 3 rooms booked and paid for with a table booked for dinner. After numerous phone calls and emails no response from anybody. Calling a local business it would appear they've been closed/place been empty for some time. Sad if they're covid victims, or whatever, but surely they should close their website, or at least but a message on informing people of their closure. So very very unprofessional

We went to the White Horse for dinner during lockdown in April 2021 and sat outside. It was popular and busy but we were lucky to get a table. The outside seating area is spacious and attractive in a green country setting. The food was good and the service was friendly.

They're closed. If you have a booking don't bother travelling. Absolute joke that they think this is an acceptable way to treat people.

This was a lovely place to eat when we had our first visit so we decided to book it for my mums 60th. 8 of us drive down 40 minute journey to turn up at the whole pub closed? A notice on their door to say due to short staffing. Which we would have totally understood if they had the decency to call their bookings and make them aware. Disgusting treatment. We were then stuck with a huge table of us and nowhere to celebrate a 60th birthday dinner! Won't be coming back here out of principle. You can't tell when they're open as it says open right now and they're not!

Booked to stay in daves shepherds hut for a 50th birthday present. Pub closed, no calls answered, no notification of cancellation. Shocking travelled over 2 hours to get here....we'd best get a refund !!

Disgusting. Night's stay booked for a 50th celebration...Drove 2 hours to see pub n accommodation all locked up. Called numerous times....no answer yet booking.com still advertising it....impressed? I'm certainly not !!!

Even though we had booked a table today at 2.30 we arrived to find it shut they had my phone number but didn't bother to let us know very bad form a waste of petrol for 2 cats fortunately after lots of ringing around we managed to get in eels foott

Booked a table for 4 turned up only to find pub was closed. They had my contact number but nobody bothered to call. Went to the Kings Head at Yoxford and had a fabulous meal highly recommend.

30 October,I have been to this place many times over the years and had great food but on this occasion booked and they have my phone number.we arrived at 5pm and it was closed we tried to ring with no answer.what has happened to this great pub ,we will never go again after a 45 min drive.

We had a table booked at the White Horse for last night but when we arrived it was closed. Tried to phone. No answer and no one bothered contacting us. Very rude.

Good food,loverly seated garden area outside. Check it is open before you go.

Booked a night away in Dave Shepherds Shed to propose to my other half and use the hot tub. No one there on arrival the shed was filthy no reason to why the shed or the pub was shut. They knew exactly why I had booked it absolutely disgusted I will be taking this further and expect my money back when we couldn't even stay there! AVOID AT ALL COSTS fuming.

Turned up for a 2 night stay to find pub closed. This pub has gone into administration. Stay away. Now need to chase for my money back. Not happy, no communication from pub to explain what has happend

We booked a table at the White Horse for last night but when we arrived it was closed. No-one had bothered to contact us to let us know and there wasn't even a sign on the door to explain.

Arrived for our lunch reservation to find the pub closed. No notice up, phone not being answered and the few staff that were inside were studiously avoiding speaking to the customers. Whilst there may be a good reason for it, it's pretty rude not to call customers with reservations (especially those with rooms booked), and from other reviews it seems that this pub makes a habit of behaving like this.

Went to the White Horse for a celebration lunch which we had booked only to find it shut, we waited outside ,there were staff inside but nobody answering the door to us or other customers who had booked. Why not answer the door and advise us of problem.??? Their loss is the Dennigton Queens gain . Excellent food and service

Lovely place, exceptionally good food very reasonably priced

We went to the White Horse Saturday evening for a meal. It was really very disappointing. We’ve been there several times previously and always had exceptionally good food, we thought maybe they had changed their chef. My fish pie was so dry, no sauce and piled high with potato, my husbands salmon was really very over cooked and dry. We had apple crumble, Well it wasn’t what I’d call a crumble, a little stewed apple in the bottom of the dish with breakfast oats sprinkled on top, again so dry. I would have complained to the waiter, but they were so understaffed, just two staff looking after a very full restaurant and bar, and felt they had enough to contend with. We won’t be going again and couldn’t recommend it.

What a treasure! Excellent food, ample portions, friendly and polite staff. All at a great price. I will definitely be returning to The White Horse.
