The White Horse Inn in Aberdeen City

I'd been before and had a lovely meal. Unfortunately last night left a little bit to be desired. Our first, and second, choices of wine weren't available (so update the wine list!!) The £18 charcuterie board was a few slices of chorizo, a few slices of salami and some toast. The bruschetta was chopped tomatoes on toast, no garlic or basil even. The main courses were tasty but could come with some veg.. We were never asked if we wanted coffees or desserts. Prices were reasonable apart from the charcuterie.

Not really sure if I'm missing something here but recent reviews are raving about this "little gem" "fresh family pasta" and we just didn't get it. Sadly sat between an 8 and 4 top which both ordered slightly before us, push our 2 top of starters out first was my thinking..... nope we sat and watched the 8 top get starters and the 4 top get starters and mains!! Thankfully we got moved as our starters arrived (40 mins after sitting down), away from the middle of the two tables. Mediocre brushetta and seafood salad.l, something that I could do at home tbh. An hour and 15 after sitting we get two plates, not bowls, of penne pasta clearly not freshly made, with a trickling of wet sauce that barely coated the pasta. Maybe we got them on a bad night but for me it's a no return. Staff licking fingers behind the deli, chefs serving food with hand towels, door open IN OCTOBER and just no real atmosphere or attention to guests or food for that matter. £43 for 2 starters 2 mains, 1 beer 1 juice and 1 pudding, really good price but for sure it's not value for money if you know what I mean. Defo had a snack when we got home as portions are small.

I really enjoyed it personally, I am grateful to have tasted delicious food in this wonderful restaurant.

A M A Z I NG if you want to have same delicious food this is the place! We had a selection of starters and my friend ordered chicken breast with a creamy sauce. Everything was absolutely delicious! The brushetta is just how I like it nice and soft as well as garlic bread. The prawns in tomato sauce are to die for! The chicken was very tender and the creamy sauce was amazing also comes with lovely potatoes and vegetables on the side! We enjoyed everything so much! The service was spot on! The owner and staff make the experience very pleasant and we felt very well taken care of. Absolutely need to visit again! Highly recommend this place!

Lovely little spot for lunch or dinner.
