The White Horse Restaurant in Chichester

Lovely place with great staff but OMG the food prices are astronomical for a pub! Over £10 for most starters and often more than £24 for a main. At least the alcohol prices weren't too bad though. But won't be going back to eat any time soon, even though the quality of the food was pretty good. P.s. can't comment on the hotel part as only went for food and a drink.

We enjoyed a really excellent Sunday lunch. My beef was exceptional and the Yorkshire pudding was perfect. The rest of my family also praised the food. We also appreciated the warm and welcoming service. The prices are not cheap but I feel reflect the standard of dining.

We had a lovely lunch at the White Horse, Chilgrove. Out Cockerpoo dog was made to feel welcome. We will come again. Kind regards. Peter

Lovely pub but very disappointed in the food. Lunch time menu abysmal. Very limited choice so chose a Ploughmans sandwich. It arrived looking very uninviting no salad garnish of even a few crisps. The bread seemed very dry and realised that it was cold toast! The drinks were very overpriced. We went elsewhere for dessert and coffee. Did mention the poor choice on menu but not the poor food as we were out for the day celebrating my birthday. So disappointed!!!

My husband and I went for lunch. The three course set lunch was very well priced and delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful. It was lovely to sit outside.

We were greeted with such a warm welcome by the friendly bar man, enjoyed a drink in the lovely bar area before being guided through to the dining area for what can only be described as a most satisfying, sensationally flavoursome dinner. We will be back!

Over the years we have been to the White Horse on numerous occasions including staying overnight at least twice and with family. There is a lovely circular walk (amongst others) you can do to burn off some calories before tucking into some food. Last Sunday we went for a roast which by all accounts was lovely. The only thing that wasn’t top notch was the service. We had to ask for our table to be cleared after having our mains and had to ask for the waiter to come back over to take our orders for deserts some 15minutes + after having the table cleared. The bill, when asked for (no sign of any staff member checking to see if we wanted it) was not calculated properly (overcharged by £9 which isn't huge but just shouldn’t happen). There was an item on the bill that we didn’t order. When we pointed out we didn’t have that item of food the reply was ‘we don’t have enough buttons on the till to name every item’. It’s simply just a re write on the till. We will be back but just wish the service a little more attentive and caring. 2 people, 2 mains and 2 deserts with a small wine and 1 larger at £90+. Fully appreciate the costs of running a venue such as the White Horse but if prices are premium then service needs to follow suit.

Fantastic location, beautiful building and very fast service. Unfortunately plates were cold so food went cold plus prices were higher than average -£18 burger and£6 pint. Maybe am being unfair as my expectations were very high.

I’m sure a lot of the food and staff are very nice but we stopped off as a group for coffee and was shocked at how expensive it was (£4 cappuccino). Tolerable as a once off if it had been a decent coffee but it was just warm milk with a bit of flavouring. Really unpleasant. The whole table who had coffee felt the same. We did mention it to a member of staff, but it was just a “sorry about that” reaction.

My work team and I met here for an early catchup. Excellent coffee and breakfast. Not really suited for a business meeting, but that's not why we use the site. Location is easy to find. The White Horse is a dog friendly pub, which means I'll be back with four legged friends!

Fantastic food, great service, parking is abit difficult when busy but overall great visit.

We had dinner, once again, and it was fabulous, once again! Lovely staff, superb food and a great wine selection.

Everything one needs is found here - comfortable rooms and facilities therein. Staff are friendly. However dinner is only served before 9pm!

Beautiful food and wonderful service from the young bar staff. I had a slightly unexpected comment from a much older lady behind the bar, as I was taking one of my clients to the toilet after the meal.... Excuse me but you haven't paid?!?! I replied yes I'm quite aware of that but I need to take one of my clients to the toilet! I thought it would be patently obvious where I was going but I guess she saw me as one of 'those' people who try and do a runner... Even though I was with two disabled clients whom I was supporting... Still nevermind... The food is fantastic and that is the main thing!

Myself and my partner had a fantastic meal! The location and pub perfect. We both had the wild boar and chorizo burger which was stunning. The front of house staff were great from start to finish. Will be back soon

Had lunch here midweek. Can't fault the service or food...BUT i don't understand why the lunch special menu at a set price of £21.95 for 3 courses, you can't have just 2 courses at this price! We ordered a main stating lunch time menu but when they took our dessert orders we were told we couldn't have them from the special menu as we not ordered all 3 courses! Seem a bloody daft idea! Moving forward we would order a starter and not eat it to save the extra cost!!!

This was my first visit to The White Horse. I chose it as a venue for a funeral tea as it was near to the church on the edge of Chichester and the setting seemed ideal. It was perfect ! The staff at every stage in the planning were kind and helpful , of course , but it is what happens on the day that counts. Everything was prepared to a high standard and all that I had requested was granted. In all , I had close contact with three members of staff , all of whom were cheerful and so efficient. It meant I and my family could relax with confidence that all was well , which is so important at a function such as this. Thank you to all at The White Horse .

Wonderful food in a nice place. Dog friendly & the staff were very helpful. They gave us superb ideas of what to do with the family on holiday in the area. A bit pricier than we would normally pay, but the food was worth it.

Beautiful pub in lovely rural location. Staff were all consistently friendly and efficient. The food was really tasty, well-presented and there was a good choice. My room was comfy and quiet and had the best bathtub I've ever had a soak in. It's hard to be as enthusiastic as I'd like to be because I just didn't feel the room was worth the fairly hefty price tag. Admittedly, it was a Sat night when I stayed but the hike up in cost for a night seemed a little unfair. Charging over £300 for a room and describing it as 'boutique' sets up expectations which weren't met in terms of decor and additions to the room such as cotton wool pads, shower cap, robes, etc. I don't think a bin should be plastic in a boutique room and I think towels should be big and fluffy. The breakfast offering wasn't generous as the menu asked guests to just chose one dish. In other boutique stays there are a range of cereals, fruit, juices and pastries available to help yourself to as well as hot food to order which brings with it a more generous spirit. These things probably sound a bit petty and I wouldn't have minded if I hadn't paid so much. I've recently stayed in a shepherd's hut which had more in terms of comfort items and was more boutique-like and was a lot less money. I can even stay at a Pig hotel for less per night. So, overall, I left feeling a bit disappointed. I think you could either lower your prices slightly or visit other boutique stays and make sure your offering is in line with them. I fully accept that it's my choice to stay and I did know the cost beforehand but I was expecting more for my money. You have lots of potential and you are so nearly a perfect stay that I've bothered to write this long review as I want you to be better!

We booked this as a last minute on the day trip for 1 night, dinner and a room. We had a brilliant experience and would highly recommend. The location is superb - quiet, pretty and amongst many fantastic walks. The room we had (Badger) was big, clean, comfy and quiet - and with a beautiful bath for a soak. The pub itself was splendid, pretty, warm and welcoming. The food was top notch too and the servers friendly. We'll be back :)

A beautiful setting and amazing service. We visited the White Horse for my dad’s birthday lunch and couldn’t fault it - the food was lovely and the staff were all so friendly and attentive. Will definitely be returning!

We stopped in to ask directions then decided to return later for dinner. This is a very dog friendly place and we had a great meal. The staff were very helpful in recommending places to visit in the area (many of which we did).

4 soaking walkers and a moderately well-behaved Border terrier received a warm welcome for lunch from Sarah and the team. We thought that the daily menu (3 courses for £21.95) was particularly good value and offered delicious choices. The food, along with well-kept Butcombe ale and a lovely house Shiraz, was beautifully served at a really enjoyable pace. Nothing was too much trouble - we were so grateful and appreciated the team's friendly, professional approach very much. We look forward to returning, hopefully for the night, in order to make the most of everything that the wonderful White Horse has to offer. Thank you very much to the Team!

I meet a friend here once a year as she lives in Kent and I in Dorset and it is conveniently half way. As usual, the food was superb and the service outstanding. Nothing is too much trouble. Exactly the right amount of attention, without feeling bothered. We love meeting here as we are never hurried and are assured that we can stay as long as we like. As usual though, the day ends all too quickly and it is with a fond farewell that we take our leave, yet already looking forward to our return visit.

There is some issues that needs to be addressed, I booked The White Horse as it had five star's, far from it The room we had, there was mould in the shower, the shower door was very dirty the base was soft and about to collapse possibly, Crack in the sink, The window in and out very dirty, Dampness above the skirting board, Mould on the backs off the curtains, The handle on desk fell of and I replaced it back on, Cup's had brown stains in the bottom from tea, The lights was very dusty and one spotlight out, No ac in the rooms not even a fan on one of the hottest days, The tables on the patio were in poorly Bamboo broken and missing, The pub was nice and the food was good the stuff were very helpful . Mr A skinner.

Fabulous Birthday dinner for my partner. The staff were great and unfazed by our comings and goings to the table - so we eat a good hour after the booking and there was absolutely no grumbles. Food, wine and cocktails were delicious - lovely evening, thank you

Had a really lovely lunch here. The service was outstanding and it was one of the best burgers we’ve ever eaten. Brought our 3 month old and she’s at the fussy stage, the staff were so supportive, gave us a quiet space and served us promptly. Loved the interior, and the outside space too. Look forward to coming again soon! Thanks to Alana and the team!

Great food & great service - 5 stars

I recently had the displeasure of dining at The White Horse, and I must say it was an experience I wouldn’t wish on my worst enemy. From the moment we walked in, it was evident that the staff had a blatant disregard for non-locals. Despite there being empty tables, we were made to wait for what seemed like an eternity. Once seated, the rudeness of the staff was undeniable. They seemed to take joy in making us feel unwelcome, clearly treating us differently because we were foreigners. This level of unprofessionalism is shocking in this day and age. The food, when it finally arrived, was mediocre at best and certainly not worth the agonising wait. I would strongly advise anyone considering a visit to The White Horse to think twice, especially if you’re from out of town. The staff’s behaviour was not just unprofessional but downright discriminatory.

Been going here, off & on for about 58 yrs. My wife and our friends loved it, food was fine ( lunch only). Unusally they have two Tesla chargers which we drive but one was charging and someone had just parked needlessly in other bay, not worth making a fuss. Lady who served us was nice and informative, afterwards we ambled across to the wine shop, very good selection.

Room was lovely but is quite noisy, comfortable but squeaky bed. Bar was great and had a few drinks with a couple of the regulars Phil & Roger who were lovely, friendly and funny. Lovely atmosphere. Staff very good and served with a smile

Currently staying at this pub and the food and rooms are excellent. Nice to stay somewhere that put some thought into it's food and rooms are well appointed with all mod cons. Fantastically run place

Superb meal, beautiful venue and extremely friendly team - thank you!

We came for Father’s Day! The roast wasn’t great. Potatoes were very salty, I had the smallest bit of chicken and pureed swede, one parsnip and a small amount of greens. I did not enjoy my meal. The prices that are charged do not reflect the food. It was a very disappointing Sunday lunch. They did remove the price of my roast dinner! I don’t think I would eat here again 😔

Lovely pub and restaurant nice walk across the fields and bridle path from Bowhill farm.

Gorgeous location, friendly and attentive staff, great food and a lovely room. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, with our dog who was also warmly welcomed. Thank you - we’ll be back!

Over priced food. Children’s food is not worth it. Why serve chicken with bones in it. Absolutely awful. Fully aware the chicken has bones in it but not to be served on a child’s meal. Your comment is very patronising like the awful service you gave

Stopped for drink and sandwich on a bike ride. Sat outside in the sun. Very nice! Went back for a Saturday three course lunch. Great food and drink. Would recommend Back again with friends recently for evening meal and food and service was awesome

Visited for lunch after a walk up at Kingley Vale. Food was delicious, best Arancini I've tasted ever. The scallops and black pudding were supereb. The menu has lots of great choices so will have to go back. Easy access to some great walks. Service was efficient and most of all very friendly. Very enjoyable experience.

We had a lovey stay at the White Horse, amazing food and hospitality . Would definately recommend .

We stopped in for Food & Drink after visiting West Wittering beach. Lovely spot to have lunch and dog-friendly in bar area. Interiors were fab, so were all the seating - we got a great spot in the window bay so we could look out whilst we ate. We didn't use hotel, but we have noted it as one that we would come back to, should we be staying in the area again.

I will start off by saying the manager at The White Horse is fantastic. After a poor start where we were misinformed about our room not being ready, the manager resolved this issue very quickly and my wife and myself had an amazing stay. The evening meal and breakfast was outstanding and we loved having a bottle of wine in our own private courtyard. We will definitely be returning

Great food, even with no fries on the menu! Good value too. Service a little unattended, especially given there were only 4 tables needing service.

Beautiful scenery, rooms, food and staff out did themselves, cannot rave more about The White Horse.

Nice Rooms pleasant staff Good food. Charges £20 for dogs!!!!!

Great pub! Always friendly and the food is great

Wr didn't get a room we did go and have dinner there for our anniversary. Very nice food and the atmosphere was nice it was a tad chilly but other than that it is a really nice place to eat.

My second visit to The White Horse in Chilgrove, the first was a wedding. This time it was just for lunch with friends on a Saturday. The food and service was outstanding! Highly recommend a visit 🙌

Very pleasant pub with rooms near the South Downs. Good breakfast, evening meal was very tasty, my wife particularly enjoyed her mussels whilst my venison was excellent.

Nice and cozy place, dog friendly with good choice of food and drinks, set in a beauful place surrounded by stunning views

Absolutely brilliant from start to finish. We had a 'significant birthday' party here with friends - and the setup of the dining room was so thoughtful and exquisite. Delicious food (and chef catered to all the DF, GF, VG etc needs in the group), great friendly hospitality from the staff and well appointed quiet rooms, set in beautiful surroundings. Great place from which to go for a walk or just look out at the world! Highly recommended and we will definitely keep coming back.

Wonderful weekend spent at the Whit Horse. The staff are very professional, helpful and friendly. Food was amazing.

I'm so glad we chose the White Horse for a birthday meal with my son. The food was delicious; the first taste of the scallops with celeriac was an OMG moment! The chicken Kyiv was the moisest chicken I've tasted in years and the venison just gorgeous. Service was great, helping with menu choices, a welcoming smile and a joke or two shared. Away from the restaurant area the rest of the pub oozed quality and comfort in an old fashioned pub way. I would love to come back soon for lunch with friends and then while away an afternoon in the bar with them. Maybe stay overnight too - it would be rude not too!

Had a fantastic Mother Days here! Staff were fantastic and very welcoming. Was extremely busy here, so happily had a drink at the bar first. A set 2/3 course menu was on and the price was around 30 for 3 courses which we all went for and for the quality of food was a fair price. Some great pubs in the area here, but taking everything into consideration this comes top of the bunch! Well done White Horse.

8 family members and I spent Mothers Day here, which was my first (and last) visit. The staff were very welcoming and the pub is lovely. However the food was bordering on being inedible. The starter of trout was virtually tasteless and very little of it. The main course of roast beef was cold, the vegetables sitting in water, (microwaved I suspect) two slices of beef which were very substandard. Burnt Yorkshire puddings which were replaced with fresh ones (and very good) why not serve these first time? The roast belly of pork was a joke, just a ring of fat with a tiny amount of meat no delicious crispy crackling on offer. My mother-in-law had the fish, ‘Catch of the Day’….but appeared to be a supermarket bought piece of salmon which was overcooked. The only saving grace was a couple of deserts which were ‘acceptable’. A deduction of £70 was taken off the bill, which in my view was insufficient considering more than 50% of the food was not eaten. To summarise, there are many more establishments offering superior food at similar costs and would surely compensate their customers when they get it wrong.

I've visited a number of times for drinks and food and couldn't recommend The White horse enough. The ladies and gentlemen serving are very polite and always make you feel welcome. The building/interior itself is Very well laid out, clean and tidy. Windows near the back or the beer harden are the perfect place for a drink, winter or summer. Both the food and choice for food is incredible. I highly recommend their burger it's the best I've ever tasted in my life! I haven't stayed there so can't comment on the rooms but if everything else is to go by I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Looking forward to stopping by later on in the year.

Room was lovely, food is incredible, location is beautiful need I say more, 10/10

The cutest country pub! Beautifully decorated inside, the food was absolutely stunning and the team were so friendly. They had an amazing selection of wines and the team were very helpful with food and drink recommendations. Would recommend!

Very friendly staff. Nicely sized room. In over 7 years of living in the UK/travelling to the UK for business it is the only shower I encountered with decent water pressure. It is a shame breakfast starts late (8:00) but a breakfast platter is offered that can be collected the evening before.

Not much choice for beer, lager

Beautiful pub, sympathetically modernised to retain traditional features. Shout out to excellent front of house/manager - thank you for looking after us so well - including sorting breakfast needs for running event. Excellent food and real ale. Comfortable beds, well presented rooms. We’ll return

Immaculate rooms and delicious food! 5 star breakfast included as well! Highly recommend.

We come here often for a little get away, and every single time is faultless. The service, food and the rooms are just amazing. We bought our dog along and even they are welcomed with dog treats and blankets for sitting by the fire. Sam and Sarah really have thought of EVERYTHING to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable for all, hence why we keep coming back, this place is a home from home for us. Thanks again guys keep doing what your doing

We spent 2 nights as an extended family break - 8 adults, 1 18month old and a dog! We chose this pub/hotel as we were all arriving from different parts of the country to meet up to celebrate a birthday. The rooms were great being on the ground floor and all near each other around the garden area. All of the staff were great and more than helpful, nothing was too much trouble. The food was good but one little niggle was that we arrived on Sunday and although we had pre-booked a table to eat in the evening, unfortunately they had been busy during the day and had therefore run out of a few things. Also, at breakfast on both mornings they had run out of orange juice but were able to offer alternatives but maybe a trip to the supermarket might have been an idea just to get some emergency juice whilst waiting for the delivery. The pub/hotel is in a great location close to Chichester etc., but being out in the country meant that it was lovely and quiet. All the staff we met were more that accommodating but Alana deserves a special mention for dealing with us as such a large group especially as the 18th month old had recently 'found her feet' and her voice and was a making the most of running around. Alana was very good and we hope that we didn't disrupt the other diners too much! We would thoroughly recommend this pub for a short break and we have, as a family, all said that we would be happy to have another birthday mini-break there anytime.

Just back from a really lovely couple of days at the White Horse in Chilgrove. We booked the muddy paws package which was great value. The staff were really friendly and welcoming, the food was great and our room was fab. We loved the big copper bath, the bar and the cosy dining room as well as how welcome you made us feel, including our dog, who had a great time. Lovely long walks all round, we really appreciated the maps and advice. Beautiful countryside and a great place to stay all round. Thanks so much.

The last time I looked to go to The White Horse was probably two years ago but was put off by some of it’s reviews. Thankfully I decided to give it another try on Valentines night and have to say everything was absolutely perfect. The staff were so welcoming and keen to meet or exceed expectations and the food and drink was to die for. Priced accordingly I would strongly recommend a visit.

We absolutely love this place! Just booked to stay a third time. It’s a lovely pub in a quiet country location but we particularly love it as its rooms are perfect for when we wish to spend a few days walking in the countryside with our doggie. Plenty of parking, rural location, good food, nice sized rooms all with your own front door onto an area of green. Always a great, relaxed stay.

Thank you for making our stay so special. Our beloved dog Flo is fast asleep now, dreaming of having the best stay ever!

We primarily booked to stay at The White Horse because of its locality to The Repair Shop.we didn’t give much thought to the restaurant itself but my goodness were we in for a surprise! The food was superb - every single thing we ate there was 5 star - taste, presentation, setting. The staff at the White Horse were well turned out, respectful, accommodating and so welcoming - nothing was too much of a bother and each of them went out of their way to be helpful. Hats off to all of them especially Sarah. We have already booked our next stay!

We stayed for 3 nights and enjoyed 3 excellent meals. The staff were attentive and friendly - even in the face of adverse weather and a power cut, nothing was too much trouble. They worked hard and cared about the customers of both the two and 4 legged variety. It is truly dog friendly and we thoroughly enjoyed dining there on all three nights. The Old Winchester soup deserves a special mention.

We visited the White Horse as a family of 5, from start to finish, I could not fault our experience. Every staff member we encountered warmly welcomed us with smiles, courtesy and kindness. The foods temperature and taste was spot on, using locally sourced ingredients including locally shot pheasants in the pie which was absolutely gorgeous! The food in general, from starters to desserts was delicious. The pub is located in the heart of the South Downs, therefore is the perfect place for lunch or dinner and a dog walk, we also overheard a staff member mentioning that the pub is completely dog friendly, including the restaurant and rooms!! Perfect place for a weekend break, we will definitely be back.

We had a great dinner! Well sourced ingredients, well thought out combinations, all cooked excellently. Wonderful welcome and hospitality too. Surprise hit was a superb non-alcoholic cocktail!

Fabulous food and the service was friendly and very good. Could not recommend it enough will definitely be coming back.

Absolutely delicious Sunday roast! Best veggie one I’ve had in years and my husband loved his chicken roast too, we both gave it 10/10 and that’s a pretty rare occurrence. Can’t wait to go back! The staff are also so lovely, such a great country pub,

Staying for one night, an opportunity to spend time with a relative. Super location, great rooms, interesting and varied menu, which was well executed. Welcoming team, and dog friendly. What's not to like?

Lovely clean rooms, friendly staff. Quiet and comfortable absolutely nothing not to like. Breakfast was substantial, good quality, and nice selection. The hospitality from staff was superb. My one suggestion would be to have some of the fantastic game that is so abundant around the area on the menu. I think your missing a trick. The food I ate was good though. Thank you for a lovely couple of nights.

A lovely family lunch in a magical location in the South Downs. An imaginative menu and wine list with friendly and attentive staff. A must visit if you’re in this area. Thank you White Horse. We’ll be back frequently!!

Lovely location and traditional old pub. Sunday lunch for 6. All order roast beef at £19.95. Food arrived fairly promptly and staff pleasant. The miniscule waffer thin slice of beef was more akin to a slice of ham. One tiny parsnip, a carrot, and three roast potatoes. Two meals were returned as beef was so tough it couldn't be cut. After we complained the staff apologised and discounted our bill. Overall it was disappointing and we won't return.

Set in a wonderful rural location, The White Horse combines the best of relaxed traditional hospitality with contemporary amenities, good generous pub food and most importantly a warm welcome from very professional staff. Accommodation set around a lovely grassed and lavender planted area was smart and spotless, with the added option to sit outside at some pretty tables, chairs and benches. We also really appreciated the provision of an ice bucket and fresh milk in a chilled flask to compliment the free tea and coffee in our room. We look forward to a return visit.

I've been a few times recently, it just seems like it's getting worse. Landlords always have something better to do than work hard. Tables are dirty, food is burnt and service is a minimum. I wish it was better as the location is great but it's really not.

For a pub that's in the glorious setting of the South Downs, this should be the prime place to go on the weekend, however, I would avoid! As a family, we went tonight for their charity curry night and the whole night was laughable! When we arrived we turned up to a filthy table (which the waitress later covered the leftover ketchup spillage from the previous guests with our new napkins rather than wiping it down), to them be ignored for half an hour until we went inside to order for ourselves. Bearing in mind the two landlords were sat on the table next to use with friends and completely ignored the fact their staff were all over worked, and service was failing miserably. If they had the afternoon off, fair enough, but they would at times half arsely attempt to help out. My family are locals and we've been in many times over the years and the two new landlords never bother to make pleasantries or make you feel like a valued local. We ended up waiting at the bar for 20 mins whilst the staff were over run, again, the landlords turning a blind eye, to then be charged £10.60 for a rum and coke, with blue light discount applied!!! The Currys themselves were minimal. You'd get better at a harvester. We understood it was for charity, but it all felt like such a rip off. We had about three pieces of chicken each, we ended up with half a ripped naan bread served to us and burnt onion bajis. Oh and the plates were dirty too. No one checked back on us to ask if we were happy. We were so close to leaving and asking for our money back. This place has gone down hill over the years and has no real sense it's getting any better. Prices going up, poor service, minimal food and landlords that ignore you. It feels as though they think their too good for us country folk. Bring Nicky back!!

Wonderful find! We’ve stayed here twice now as it’s a lovely country pub, and very peaceful. It’s in a great location for country walks so we bring our little dog as he is very welcome here - We have a tasty breakfast, head off for a long walk, back for an afternoon drink in the gardens, then a peaceful dinner in the pub. The accommodation is in the grounds, each having its own front door onto a grassy area so no having to walk through corridors in a hotel to let my dog have a sniff round first thing in the morning. There’s ample parking, plenty of outdoor seating and the pub inside is tastefully decorated. The staff are always very welcoming and honestly I can’t fault this place - I’ll definitely be returning for a third short break stay. The menu is varied enough to cope with my vegetarian needs and we’ve never been disappointed with the food. Highly recommended for anyone looking for s peaceful, stress free country getaway.

Lovely pub. Went today for family birthday 15 of us including 4 children under 6. Fabulous food. The lemon desert was the best I've tasted and others said the same about the chocolate desert. The staff are great, very accommodating and patient. A lovely time was had by all.

What a fantastic stay we had at The White Horse. Booked in for 2 nights with a family wedding being held there on day 2. Lovely rooms, beautiful gardens, great restaurant food, staff very welcoming and hospitable. The atmosphere for the "all day" wedding was perfect. The chef excelled with the wedding food and the delicious breakfasts. Sam and Sarah are perfect hosts. Definitely recommend The White Horse as a lovely venue for a wedding and family stay in country surroundings. Thank you to the whole team. See you again!

Excellent stop for lunch after walking the downs . Stayed here for B& B . Delicious breakfast . Large Lovely room . Clean . Tin bath ! Had drinks in the garden and played draughts. Great start to our weeks holiday on Hayling Island .

Very disappointing, now part of a chain and it shows with the food, all very bland and not very inspirational. It used to be so vibrant and such a busy place, not so now. Definitely won’t return

Stopped here for lunch today Pleasant building and the two staff I encountered were ok Poor menu and overpriced Average food delivered All topped off with a 10% service charge !!!! I had to get my drinks from the bar, I had to go to the bar to order my food All they did was bring me the food I guess that I could have gone to the kitchen to collect it !!! No wonder the place was empty at 13.30 Would not return or recommend

Where to start! What has happened? This used to be such a busy, great place to come, always something exciting on the menu and friendly staff! Now times have changed drastically! It’s now owned by ‘butcombe brewery’ which is plastered everywhere to help you remember, quite what a brewery from the south west is doing owning pubs in sussex I don’t know! It now has the feel of a generic pub with standard, generic menus probably all the same across the pubs, such a shame what’s happened, we were pretty much the only ones dining and the menu was so poor we had have fish and chips and a burger! You can have these everywhere, we miss the short rib, crab crumpet etc! Service not what it used to be - maybe everyone is fed up serving the boring food! Definitely one to avoid as plenty of other independent pubs in the area serving vastly better food.

Our Sunday Lunch Club thoroughly enjoyed the meal we had at the White Horse. Greeted by Jazz in the bar and on a sunny Sunday we where already in good spirits by the time we sat down at table. Excellent choice of Starters, the traditional Sunday Roasts and interesting alternatives. The boys enjoyed the wine list, girls where driving. Lovely helpful and amusing staff. we look forward to our next visit

Food was lovely, pub and restaurant well maintained and very cosy. Great staff. Comfy bed, good selection of teas/coffee, hot tub was amazing. Can’t wait to return!

Had a great welcome and drink at the newly cool wooden bar and then had a lovely meal, great selection, good service and overall gorgeous evening
