I'd driven past The White Horse loads of times and it always looked appealing. The car park seemed constantly busy and the reviews on here were good, which I also thought was a good sign. We decided to stop off on the way back from a football match for dinner on Saturday evening. I did book a table online first as I thought that Saturday might be busy. Arrived 15 minutes early, no problem though straight to the table. Drinks ordered and brought promptly and then ordered food. There is a really good selection on offer and we both decided to go for mains and desserts. The food was really nicely presented and came nice and hot, a pet annoyance of mine is tepid food, but not here. Red mullet with Parma ham served on a ‘bubble & squeak’ style curly kale & caper mash with lemon butter and crispy Parma ham and Venison Meatballs with roasted garlic & rosemary mash, braised red cabbage & redcurrant gravy. Both were excellent! We ordered desserts too which were equally good. The service is top notch, very attentive, but not intrusive and we didn't need to ask for anything the whole time we were there. No waiting for the bill either, simply walk to the welcome desk and my bill was ready for me. I couldn't recommend this Inn highly enough and I think this will be a regular stop now!

If you ever wanted a cold, overcooked English breakfast this is THE place! Cremated sausages with all the texture of a house brick, flacid back bacon, cold mushroom and tomato - need I go on? All-in-all a lamentable effort delivered in an environment that had all the charm of a Premier Inn.

We stayed in the shepherds hut and it was absolutely stunning, so cosy and romantic. The hot tub was such a treat and we also made use of the outside fire burner. Loved the games inside the hut too, nice touch. The food was gorgeous and service was brilliant. My only little negative is you can hear the traffic all night (we was in the hut closest to the road) because of this I didn’t get a great sleep - however I do feel that if they provided ear plugs it would drown out the noice- it won’t be stopping us from coming again but will being ear plugs and request a hug further away.

We dined as two couples and as usual were very happy with the meals and service (the steak pies were excellent!) At around 9.15, my wife apparently experiencing low blood pressure, passed out and was sick. An ambulance was called and happily she recovered but we did not get away until about 11pm. During this time Peter could not have been more caring or attentive. Making it clear that we could stay as long as necessary, providing whatever was required for the clean up and even giving my wife one of his T Shirts. The next day we received a call from the hotel to check on my wife which was a nice touch. I need to stress that food and drink had no influence on the events and we will certainly be returning very soon.

A really nice place overall. We stayed here and ate here and have nothing but good things to say about everything. We had an issue when checking in to our shepherds hut which was caused by a genuine mistake by the hotel, however they more than made up for this and showed incredible generosity. The staff were all amazing and really friendly and I can see why the restaurant/bar was so popular! The shepherds huts are a pleasure too stay in, with cool amenities and nice views and the food was delicious. Would definitely visit here again and loo forward to doing so. Thanks to the staff for your hospitality.

Having visited many times before for dinner we experienced an excellent meal but oh dear the service was not the usual standard waiting for attention and long pauses during the event. I guess shortage of staff as we only saw 3 staff trying to cope with a busy evening Hopefully our next visit will be more attentive

Our friends live locally and have often visited this pub and told us about it. Up for the weekend, we joined them. It was Father's Day and we were expecting it to be very busy, but in spite of that, we received a warm welcome and I was particularly impressed by the very friendly and professional young staff, all dressed very smartly in uniform. Service was quick and excellent and the food was absolutely delicious. Every element of my roast dinner was bang on. Beautifully cooked vegetables, light Yorkshire pudding, good gravy. The staff were friendly and available without overdoing it and even though it was a very busy lunch service, everyone was being served quickly and professionally. I shared a cheeseboard with my husband which was yummy. The lady on the welcome desk was delightful and the whole atmosphere was excellent. It's a shame it's a 45 minute drive away, but if we're in the area, we'll certainly be back.

What splendid service. All the staff were exceptional in being attentive but not overbearing. When we congratulated them they told us that a party of 9 had arrived unexpectedly after they got the date wrong. The staff not only resolved the issue but despite additional pressure the service was still excellent. Combined with great food at very reasonable prices, it remains our "go to" place to eat close by.

Booked on the day for six people and informed them that one of our party had food allergies. They said it would be no problem. Arrived to find it quite busy but were seen to our table straight away. When we ordered, we were asked who had the food allergies and were informed that the dish they had ordered was fine. My son doesn't like coleslaw or mayonnaise that was on his burger so he was asked if he wanted anything else instead. He was happy with baked beans but was given a few options. Everyone who served us were very attentive and we had a delicious meal. Couldn't fault it and will definitely return soon!!

Decided to try this place on my way back south from Norwich. Surprised to find superb food from an extensive menu. Polite if slightly cool service. Late Saturday afternoon between lunch and evening dining time I expected dishes would be limited to microwaved food but no, all things were available. I asked for some changes to my advertised meal which were accommodated without problem. Reasonably priced. Clean airy restaurant in a number of small rooms. Plenty of car parking but leaving car park onto the main road can be difficult if not dangerous.

.....need I say more !?. My Wife and I have been popping into this pub a couple of times a year for the last 8 years on our way to Norwich and have never left disappointed. The meals are both big on quantity and quality and the home made sticky toffee pudding is without doubt, one of the best things I have ever eaten. The staff are friendly and attentive and the whole pub oozes a feeling of relaxation and niceness. I have booked a couple of rooms as Im taking my Dad there to stay for a few nights this week. Thank you to all at The White Horse and see you on Thursday ! Many thanks, Pete.

On the A140 with plenty of parking spaces it is surprisingly quiet inside considering the amount of traffic passing by the windows.We stopped one Sunday for breakfast and the standard of service ,food quality and comfortable chairs were very high. The breakfast is a buffet style along with a variety of cooked dishes with the toast and coffee being served at the table. It's not open plan but various areas creating a more intimate experience. The staff are well trained , helpful and appear to like working there. The cost is slightly more than the large chain pubs but it represents better value.I had the vegetarian breakfast and my wife the classic breakfast. Usually there are areas for improvement but the White Horse seems perfect as it is , well run and a charming place to eat an excellent breakfast.

I booked via the White Horse’s website and within the day I had a personal booking confirmation email.We got there, shown to our table with menus by a professional young gentleman, who immediately took our drinks order. Drinks arrived swiftly.We ordered the ‘King Burger’ and the Chicken and Bacon Burger, we also ordered a side of onion rings.Our food came swiftly. It was very fresh, hot, tasty. Infact, the King Burger is amazing, proper home made chips, huge onion rings and coleslaw. It was seriously tasty.For our dessert we each had the Captain Morgan’s Spiced Rum and Raisin ice cream, again it was gorgeous.You cannot fault anything, from the email response right up to us leaving. The girls and guys working hard on the frontline are always polite, courteous and smiling. The whole package was superb. Thank you and as always we will return again very soon

As a couple we have been regular visitors to this pub for 10 years now we come because the food is always piping hot good value for money good quality and there's good service.Alas not up to the standard we've seen so many times before. My liver was overcooked, mash was reheated which made it very dry. My husbands cabbage was unseasoned as was his mash and the sauce just seemed to be cream added on the top of the mash.The saving of this visit was the warm chocolate brownie with ice cream the ale and the Aspall cider. A disappointing visit. We also feel that the menu could do with a bit of a revamp some of the items have been on here for as long as we have been visiting this pub

The restaurant was light airy and comfortable, not too cramped. I don’t like having to listen to loud people on the next table! The menu was quite comprehensive , something for all tastes and requirements.The service was good and the wait for ordering food and its arrival was short.

This is now our local go to pub/restaurant. And my third time I think to wax lyrical.We arrived and immediately shown to our table. On an extremely hot day there was air con running I believe. But no so cold it was freezing. Perfect. Drinks ordered and quickly arrived. I ordered whitebait as a starter. They were fantastic. With lemon, tartare sauce, bread roll and butter. For mains we had burgers and these were faultless. Home made chips and the coleslaw was divine. My wife had a raspberry and white chocolate sundae to finish, she tells me it was amazing. The youngsters waiting were as always attentive and on the ball. The establishment has been decorated very recently on the outside and looks the business. Excellent work by the owners. On another note this is now the best pub/restaurant in North Suffolk. We will be returning soon.Thanks to all.

We started going to this pub (having lived in the area for over 20 years) for the first time about two months ago. Not only do they serve excellent food they are open from 8:30 AM to 9:30 PM. If we feel like a cooked breakfast this is the place to go. Their lunch and supper menu has just enough items so you can ring in the changes. They source their food locally whenever possible and I can recommend the grilled chicken in mustard sauce, the venison meatballs, the red mullet and last but certainly not least the lasagna. They serve smaller portions and the deserts are delightful but large (also served as smaller portions for most items). I would recommend the trio of deserts. Warning this needs to be shared. For chocolate lovers this is really close to heaven. The staff are excellent and not instrusive. We should have gone here earlier!

We had arranged to meet other members of our family, two groups, both travelling about 100 miles. Due to weather and traffic both were held up. The staff here did every thing that they could to make our wait comfortable.

Dropped in on the off-chance of availability for dinner and immediately seated in extremely pleasant upstairs dining area (and, we gathered, occasional function room).The staff were extremely pleasant and attentive and the food we ordered - Steak & Ale Pie and the Liver & Bacon, with Prawn Cocktail starters - was absolutely delicious with extremely generous portions of everything.Well worth a visit.

Have been visiting The White Horse off and on for over a year. Food is consistently good as is service. Best dish we think is one of the cheapest on the menu. Liver and bacon with a very decent gravy. A bonus is Woodfordes Wherry is on tap. Mind how you exit the car park in the dark as it’s on the busy Ipswich Road and not everyone keeps to the 50 mph speed limit. Overall well worth a visit.

We do use this establishment as and when we can. We were a family group and I personally had the whitebait, as a starter and the beer battered fish and chips, all of which was perfect. The rest of our party had various, all of which was enjoyed thoroughly. Good sized portions. The young waiting staff were also excellent, smart, attentive. Top marks guys! We will return soon and thank you.

I have been coming here as part of a large group for a Christmas party lunch for around 10 years. Every year, although it is thought a different venue would make a nice change, we are drawn back to the white horse as we are all very happy with what they offer. This year however is a different story. The Christmas dinner was nowhere near the standard of previous years, the staff were not warm and friendly, I would have thought cranberry sauce would have been on the table and asked for it as dinners started coming out but was made to wait several minutes while food was getting cold! Lots of small things made The whole experience not up to previous years standard.

Popped into the White Horse after work with an old colleague to catch up.We ordered food and it was delivered in good time and was piping hot.It did feel like the chicken was a bit artificial and microwaved but the burgers and fish were excellent. Beer range and quality were also very good but as I was driving I was unable to take full advantage.So why only 4 stars - the dining area was a bit clinical. We were the only people in the room and it was a bit cold.

I think some more up-to-date photos would help. These pictures are from when The Angel was in the High St. They are now in the Civic Centre The breakfast is still as good as ever. The service and welcome are good and the food is still excellent Only one slight moan and that would be the price of a cup of coffee: £3.50 for a small cup is too expensive

We used to enjoy our outings to the Gladstone, but it has turned into a dirty, smelly and "clicky" place to eat or drink! Instead of being dog friendly it is more like a dog kennel - dogs annoy non-dog owners by licking them etc and sitting on the seating instead of under the tables. The seats and tables are dirty and the whole place is unhygienic - we will not return and will leave it to the arrogant dog owners who think everybody wants to be licked and dribbled on by their pets!
