The White Horse Inn in St Edmundsbury

Great food, in a lovely atmosphere with great service

This accommodation seemed like a nice country retreat when we booked. The welcome just covered that, with staff involved seeming to be rathe preoccupied. The room was cold and one might say 'dank' as if we were the first to set foot in there this season [and it was June] It was stated in the booking that one had to provide ones own bed linnen and towels, there were towels and one of the beds was made up. The beds were 'well used', so could have been better. There is wifi, but it's so intermittent and weak [in the room] that in fact there is no wifi. The guest policy needs looking into as we were kept up one night by rowdy guests in a nearby room. we had to go and ask for coffee, tea and milk [provided] to fill up the supply, again the staff were 'very busy' and 'things are stored away'. We did not use the pub facilities which seemed very nice and welcoming.

We arrived about 6.20pm on a Sunday evening. We ordered two pints of Wherry only to be told there wasn't any. Why the label on the pump wasn't turned round to indicate this I don't know. Instead, we settled for London Pride but were told by the barmaid/tenant/landlord that they would be closing at 7pm. At 6.45pm, one of my friends went to order another couple of pints only to be told she had finished serving. As he sat down, she poured another drink for one of her friends/locals at the bar. The music was so loud that one could hardly have a conversation, and it almost seemed there was a private party going on. We left and won't be going back. It's hardly surprising pubs keep shutting if this type of service to new customers is the norm. It used to be a very nice pub but gets a black mark from me and my friends

Great lunch , with a beautiful view on a sunny day .

I have visited The White Horse on several occasions for lunch. The place is really friendly and down to earth. A traditional pub. The menu is simple with plenty of comforting dishes at reasonable prices. The food had been consistently excellent on every occasion - fresh and beautifully cooked. Compliments to the chefs! The service is also just right and has always been with a smile. A pleasure to eat here. Thank you.

Lovely old country pub. Good, service and staff all excellent

Great food great venue and super service! What more could you ask for on a Saturday night with a party of 14

Very pleasant welcome and ideal lunch stop.

Great atmosphere pub can't say anymore than that

Excellent Sunday lunch and friendly and efficient service

Lovely country pub...good food and good service

Enjoyed stay, but you definitely have to have your own transport. Atmosphere and service was very good.

Delicious Sunday lunch. Typical country pub, cosy and friendly.

Had a lovely Sunday roast in this authentic English pub. Would recommend booking on Sundays.

This is a traditional friendly pub. The pint of beer I had was clearly cared for and tasted superb. I'm avoiding saying what it was as I suspect all the beers are as good so it's a matter of preference. The staff where very helpful. I will go again. And again.....

The room was spacious with a lovely comfy bed. Nice, quiet location with good views. However, the accommodation was not very clean and I found lots of dust under the bed, dead flies on the blinds and the shower curtain had black mould on it. The furniture was chipped and could do with a bit of TLC. This place has a lot to offer and the cleanliness let it down.

All the food was great and the service was excellent.

Sunday roast a terrific disappointment. An hour's wait for a poor meal.

Enjoyable meal, very friendly staff .😀

Staff very Happy and friendly also Sunday lunch was excellent

Lovely Sunday family lunch. Service was great. No pressure to rush. Excellent value for money. Go hungry!! And leave room for desserts.

Not a great walk up the lane in the dark

Very disappointed with our Sunday lunch. Two of our party had to have their dinners reheated. All of us had cold cauliflower cheese, the rest of the vegetables were barely warm. Roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings were nice, meat average. What really spoilt the dinner was that everything was swimming in tasteless gravy. The waiting staff were excellent, efficient and very pleasant. We will not be booking a Sunday lunch there again.

Very good, excellent service, good food , already booked another visit

Nice food good beer and good service. Returned last night good food excellent beer and brilliant service

Hard bed, soft pillows, good breakfast. Host catered my request, I never give 5 stars. Highly recommend

Great food and a lovely atmosphere made to feel very welcome ,will certainly return.

Lovely staff and decor. However Food was sub standard for a place that has been around so many years. I’ve eaten here some years before and it was great. This time, sadly not. Friend was served something That they didn’t order and quality of the food for us all was just average. For the food price it was expected not to be high end, but sadly even the desserts were dubious. It’s not hard to do pub standard dishes well. Simple good pub grub, should be quite simple to get right. Tonight, it seems the chef was having an off day. Staff were brilliant, and the decor great. Food quality needs to be closely reviewed.

Superb pub lovely location and great food, will certainly be back

Love the staff. They make the place. :)

Went to the White Horse on Wednesday 29th December. From the time we arrived(party of 6) we were made to feel very welcome by the two young ladies attending us, the food was superb as was the service , would recommend to anyone First class

Went for a Xmas meal and fabulous great food lovely staff and a really cosy pub will defainlty be coming again l

Lovely old world pub with lots of character and great food with super staff

Excellent meal very good service

Very good service and food thanks

quite over priced and wasn't keen on the food, some undercooked.

Great food, get more than what you pay for. Lovely location and staff.

I just recently held my late wife’s wake at the pub. The staff made everyone feel very welcome. The food that was laid on, was of good quality and generous portions. They Also know how to keep beer and serve it correctly. Would use and recommend to others.

Lovely place to stay ,staff was very friendly and helpful ,food was lovely and the rooms where really spacious,clean and had everything we needed would definitely stay again .

Nice lot of space outdoors on a sunny day. Lovely menu with gorgeous soft bread for me sandwich. Cheddar and chutney with fabulous chunky chips.

Great countryside pub with variety of lager and ales. Coors on tap, with spacious outside area and plenty of seating. Good for family or few friends catching up

Friendly staff, nice warming atmosphere.

Great service and excellent food

Brilliant service, fantastic food!

Nice country pub with friendly staff and decent food. Pie night is particularly good at the moment, £7.99 for pie and chips/mash on a Wednesday night

Food was amazing especially the White Horse burger and the gammon.

Very average rooms, need a little refresh. Shower a trickle, toilet wobbled, 'garden' room and garden needed some love. Wouldn't rush back.

Lovely little pub went to a birthday party there food was excellent staff very pleasant nothing to much trouble I will be going back although it's 25 miles away.

The food was delicious and the service was fantastic, will definitely go back.

Very nice place, wonderful staff, very hospitable. Only small criticism is that there is no bin in the rooms, there is one for sanitary products in the bathroom but not a general waste bin in the rooms for rubbish. Also because the rooms are a converted out building they can be a little noisy at night when people don't shut the main door quietly, maybe a sign on the door to remind people to be courteous. But a very wonderful place would definitely stay again. Food is amazing and staff are so friendly and helpful.

The Whitehorse is a lovely friendly pub. The staff are really very nice and the food is great. That's it. We definitely recommend you come and enjoy the pub.

Had a meal here today to celebrate my fathers 85th birthday we all really enjoyed it, lovely food and very friendly staff

Wonderful Christmas dinner here for myself and 16 friends great food and nothing to much for the staff, a very happy customer X🎄

Fantastic pub with extremely friendly and welcoming staff. Food is always amazing along with the drink. Nice size garden to sit outside in the summer and enjoy a drink.

Really nice homely atmosphere great staff and the rooms are lovely. Also make one of the best burgers I've ever had.

Very nice and friendly place, food very good 👍

very friendly. food was very fresh and tasty

The food was cooked to perfection and even though we were warned on arrival that there would be a long wait (we didn't book and there was already two large groups) we were served in good time by lovely staff

Beer was good, snacks were good, can't comment food, reasonable price. Atmospheric but quite a small bar. Nicely decorated and homely.

We have eaten here a few times and the food has been generally good, but it is quite expensive, something like £17 for a risotto.

Nice pub with good beer and staff

Great summer evening 5 pints of cider and my dinner sitting outside wot more do you want then my wife drove me home sorted

Went for lunch at about 12.45 and it was quite busy. There was five of us. The lady said there was going to be 30/40 minute wait for our food. Order our food. There was a wait but they apologised again. When the food came it was very good. A couple had Ploughman’s lunch which was very generous size. I had a BLT sandwich which came with chips which was very nice generous amount of bacon. Others had Jacket potato. They again apologised about the delay. Good food. Would go back again

Fantastic food and beer, staff extremely friendly and helpful

Very comfortable pub went yesterday after a funeral we were all looked after food was outstanding

Brilliant place to go. Found ourselves a new local. Sunday lunch was lovely

Delicious. We went in for their Monday burger special and were pleasantly surprised

Booked well in advance for a large party of 14, Sunday lunch roast beef dinner, the meal arrived as a big piled up heap that looked a complete mess, the beef could have souled shoes very effectively, the only thing on the plate that was ok the Yorkshire puddings, apart from being terrible it was all stone cold, not recommended at all, shame as it used to be very nice a few years ago

Very good tasty food with great service !

Sehr gutes Essen und schönes schlaftiefgute Betten

Very helpful and accommodating, especially for special diets ie GF, separate menu and willing to substitute items

Cosy family hotel excellent cuisine fine pub and nice people

We held our monthly meeting for our 41 Club (past members of Round Table) at The White Horse Inn and were not disappointed. The food was well presented by friendly efficient staff. The venue is like a traditional English Pub
