Excellent Sunday roast (Topside of Beef - 3 thick slices) with trimmings. Well cooked and tasty or not overcooked as in some venues. For me, the portions were just right but for others may want more potatoes and vegetables! Beer, Adnams, well kept as I would expect from Ghost Ship! Certainly call again!

The place is nice, decor ok, staff are friendly, ambience is fine, but the price of a single glass of wine is ridiculous. I visited and bought a pint and glass of Malbec and paid over £15. I didn’t even have the most expensive wine. They have a 250ml glass of red on their menu for over £13. We used to visit often, but can’t justify it anymore. Food menu is not great either. Bring back chilli please.

Food delivered was not that was ordered,ie fish and chips came as fish pie,Indian curry with nan was described as pita bread,and you would expect the yogurt and pickle to be in a ramekin,it was put on top of the curry so no choice in the matter.Both meals were £17.50 each (ouch!).One of us ordered a special of the day pie with mash and peas,where the peas could be counted on one hand.When this was queried we were told they had run out of peas,how come when they had a shop across the road,and were offered brocoli instead with extra mash.Cost of this meal approx £17.After all this,the meals did taste nice but at a price!

Have always enjoyed visiting the White Horse due to good food, lovely atmosphere and attentive staff. My friends and I chose the pub to meet for our Christmas lunch. We booked several weeks ago and when I booked was asked if we would be ordering from the festive menu to which I replied probably but had to check with my friends. I was not informed that if using the festive menu I would need to leave a deposit and do a pre- order. I attempted to contact the pub by phone soon afterwards to say we would be ordering from the festive menu but unfortunately was unable to get through. I then forgot to try again but didn’t think it would be a problem as hadn’t been told they needed to know in advance. We arrived today to be told we couldn’t order from the festive menu which was hugely disappointing especially as the winter menu was somewhat limited. We decided to order a panini each which came with a soft drink. Unfortunately not every soft drink was part of the deal which was not made clear to us. My friend even checked with the waitress that an orange and lemonade was part of the deal and was told it was but turned out to be not the case. All in all a very disappointing visit today. The food was fine although when my friend asked for a salad with her panini instead of chips it came with a handful of lettuce only. Hardly a salad! We are hoping this is a one off and will use the pub again although due to the limited menu choice we have decided to go elsewhere for our January meet up. Sorry for the negativity but am feeling very disappointed.

Visited on a Sunday a group of 9 majority ordered roast beef, but unfortunately, they only had 1 left. The rest of the group opted for gammon, which was a great choice. A good portion size. Although it was busy, the wait time and service was great.

We held my mother’s wake at The White Horse. From the the first meeting for arrangements we were welcomed with a friendly face, professionalism, shown around and provided with all the information we needed. On the actual day the staff were attentive- everything happened like clock work without me having to worry about anything. The buffet lunch was plentiful and well enjoyed by everyone. Thank you so much Fiona

We had a memorial here for a friend and I cannot speak highly enough of the pub and team. Luke was fantastic in helping us arrange it, flexible when it came to our catering requirements and more than reasonable about cost. I found him to be very honourable in his dealings with me. The food was fantastic, home cooked not frozen pre bakes, really great. the service was without fault and the place very clean. There is an area at the back of the pub that is ideal for private events without being closed off called the Tack Room. It was busy in the general pub all afternoon and I can see why, this is a genuine local, doing everything right. I wouldn't hesitate to return or recommend.

We went for a Sunday roast a couple of weeks ago to celebrate a few birthdays in the month. The venue was lovely, beautiful decor very comfortable, plenty of room around tables. We were sat at a table which was perfect as there was a few of us (booked in about a week prior to our visit). The Sunday roast was impeccable, it was a sizable portion for an adult meal and also for the children too. I opted for a burger unlike everyone else, and that was really good, really tasty. Food was hot when it came out too and we were not waiting long at all before it was brought out. The staff were amazing, really friendly couldn't do enough for us all. We will definitely be going back there, and would highly recommend anyone to pay a visit.

Booked the White Horse for a table of 8 for my mums birthday on Friday as it’s walking distance from the house, and wanted her to be able to have a couple of drinks as normally has to drive my dad. I’d pre dropped a cake and balloons and when we arrived the balloons were already displayed along with a “happy birthday” tile so the birthday girl knew which was her seat! The service was amazing with more than one member of staff looking after us and being attentive. The food was so amazing for such a reasonably priced menu, the White Horse is a local gem! Thank you for a wonderful evening, we all really enjoyed.

My mum is a regular at this place, so when we visited her recently we went here for lunch. I grew up in this area, and dimly remember this being a dingy "drinking pub", but what a transformation! It is bright and airy now, and has a high quality extremely well thought out interior. The couple who run it are extremely welcoming, and the food is sublime. Everything is hand made on the premises, including the cinnamon ice cream offered as an accompaniment to many of the desserts. The burger here is next level. Juicy, properly seasoned, it's an absolute delight compared to the mediocre offerings you get everywhere else. My wife opted for the veggie version of the sunday roast, and was delighted with the giant Yorkshire pudding and separate serving of beautifully cooked roast potatoes. A word of warning though; portions are large, and you *will* be tempted by the dessert menu. We opted for a hot cross bun bread and butter pudding made by the manageress, very good indeed. Consequently none of us ate for another 24 hours! This is now easily my favourite eatery in Bedford, and we always push for it when visiting mother. I always have the burger: I should probably try something else, but I know the burger's just going to be so good! This is an exemplary gastro-pub, where everything is working well together and on-song. Long may it continue!

We dropped by for lunch, without a reservation on a Friday. They were expecting a large party, but seated s for lunch, with a view to needing the table back. They were perfectly accommodating and the service was very good. The food was hot and tasty and the surroundings were fresh and welcoming. We were offered a a table in the bar for coffee and deserts and we were fine with that. All in all, very good and lovely people. This was our first time in the White Horse an we'll be sure to visit again.

First time we have eaten here as a family. We booked a table on the Wednesday a few days before and the customer service on the phone was first class and very welcoming. The whole experience was extremely good,the welcome was extremely warm from the moment we walked in the door and the 2 ladies who looked after us were very attentive. The food was fresh,hot and very large portions.I had a Steak & Ale Pie which was really nice and my wife had a Huge Fish & Chips!Represented really good value for money and would definitely go again as we have enquired around other members of the family who have Gluten intolerances and they are more than happy to help with choices when we asked. The pub in general had a really nice atmosphere,nicely decorat3d and generally in good order with a variety of tables,booths and half booths to accommodate different size parties of people.Their is also plenty of parking with a good sized car park. My only feedback for not giving a 5* would be the washrooms could do with some TLC the Disabled / Baby changing facility especially is not great. Keep up the great work girls!

Had a drink and settled with some crisps. Whilst there other people came along and had a sandwich. Staff not rushed as not many customers. They did have some phone calls turning people away as fully booked. As we left 7 tables were free!! So where was the rush? Clearly not organised or didn't want the trade.

We booked this lunch with friends having read about the Chef and the Pub’s ethos on Muddy Stilettos website. Warm welcome on arrival in the small traditional bar got things off to a good start. The starters we tried, confit of duck n raw tuna were both delicious and all (four of us) opted for different mains, lamb beef and pork and all were exceptional. Very generous portions, as were the veg - cauli/broccoli cheese, root veg, greens, and superb roast pots. Staff were friendly, attentive and helpful. Best Sunday lunch out i’ve had in a long time. Not the cheapest but great value considering quality, and that almost all local produce. Can’t wait to return for the Farmers Table!

1st we ordered drinks, mine a tomato juice No ice with Worcestershire sauce, my drink arrived with ice and a catering bottle of sauce. Food 80% there & tasty & hot. 3 of us ordered Lamb, I asked for mint sauce & was told “sorry we have run out!” it amazes me how a restaurant in a village couldn’t just go to a local shop & buy some when they knew they were running short, especially when there are only 3 choices for a Sunday lunch one being Lamb. The waitresses seemed to be in their own little world with very little interest in who they were serving. We had to go and ask for the bill after waiting for a while, when she bought it over before we had looked at it I was asked “Do you want the card machine? Shame as the potential for a good restaurant is here but they definitely need some staff training if they want to proceed & keep up with the other eateries in the area. It’s very rare for me not to leave a gratuity but in this instance I felt it was totally undeserved.
