The White House in Rochdale

Called in last minute and were kindly given a table by the lovely staff! Had a superb meal accompanied by great wine and some lovely conversation with other locals dining there, it was a brilliant evening! Special thanks to the lovely gentleman who took my friend Margaret's birthday gift for me and kept it safe until the following day when she was booked in for a lunch with friends. The present was delivered safely and Margaret had a superb time. The landlady and staff here are all great, we love coming here, a huge thank you to everyone who always takes such good care of us (and our friends) on each and every visit! x

Absolutely top draw experience today. Beautiful plaice dish for me and the reliable Barnsley chops for my partner. We made it to pudding and managed to share the best ever pecan. Great service, great food. Much better now it’s table service but I did sort of miss the former chaos of the queue at the kitchen door :-) Well done team and thank you!

Extremely rude landlady. Lasagne was dreadful, a congealed dollop. No layers of pasta, definitely no cream, just a hard crust on top of basic mincemeat and tasteless. Do not visit if you are expecting quality food or decent human interaction as it will not be found here!

Great! Proper home cooked fresh food, served with professional friendly and knowledgeable staff. Excellent quality and value. Stonking good hand pulled 🍻

This is a teally nice spot overlooking Rochdale.The Staff are friendly the prices are good and the food choice is great.Always tasty and no long waits.

Lovely location with stunning views. The staff are friendly and the food is very tasty. Would have been 5 stars if the car park didn't resemble Normandy beach in 1944. I am not sure if that part of the land belongs to the pub, but if it does, it needs levelling off

Went for lunch as we haven't been for a couple of years. Wasn't disappointed with the food at all. Generous portions left us full to the brim. 2 starters, 2 mains and drinks just over £20 with the current discount. We didn't book, but I recommend you do if going for dinner. We Won't leave it so long before we return next time.

Having eaten in The White House numerous times previously I decided for the 4th time to make a last minute booking to avail of the "EOHO scheme". On the off chance I e-mailed a request for a booking for the same day (last Wed 19th) and got a timely reply from a Mr Marney confirming my table for 2 at 5.30pm.My partner and I arrived just before 5.30pm and joined a small queue waiting to be seated. I was impressed by the large blackboard in the entrance hall being used to highlight the Covid-19 rules and restrictions in such an artistic and clear manner (much better than all these cheap posters floating around).When we got inside, I was greeted by a lady who asked for my name. When she couldn't find it on the list she asked me if i had booked and i said yes. She replied "in that case you can take that table down by the mirror". We made our way down to that table but i felt that the lady was upset because she thought I had made it up about the booking. After settling in our seats for about 5 minutes i got up to go to the bar. I ordered a pint of cask bitter and a half of lager and was then told by the same lady to sit down and my drink order would be taken at the table. This again seemed a bit harsh and abrupt as the rules outside in the hall clearly stated "You may order drinks at the bar".Anyway enough of the negatives. As soon as i sat back down again, the gentleman from behind the bar brought me the drinks I had ordered. A minute later we had our order taken.The starters arrived after about 10 minutes. I had the Chicken Liver Pate and my partner had the garlic mushrooms. The pate was probably the best pate I have ever had. So smooth and tasty it was unbelievable. My partner also enjoyed her garlic mushrooms.For mains, my partner had the Haddock with Cheese topping and I had the Gammon Steak. Both mains were ample portions but tasted fantastic. The gammon was cooked to perfections and served with both pineapple and egg. The haddock was well cooked and served with a lovely medley of fresh well cooked vegetables.All in all the good was excellent. I have availed quite a bit of the EOHO scheme and this was the best meal I have had. The service from the waiters and waitresses was excellent.Will return soon and hopefully get a better welcome......

This place is ok, traditional pub grub. I went to take advantage of the eat out to help out. The is nothing other than usual suspects for pub grub. Main thing is the place is abiding by the COVID rules and is clean.

Great lunch at the White House today.All covid guidelines were observed so felt very safe.I had the lamb Henry and my husband had the tandoori chicken curry from the specials menu.Both were lovely.The staff were excellent,especially Helen behind the bar.Together with a glass of wine and a beer the bill came to £23 as the pub is participating in the 50% off scheme.However we would happily have paid the full price and will definitely return .

I could bore you to death of stories where, because of M62 traffic I was forced into taking the A58 from Leeds yo Manchester or vice versa. And the number of times I have driven past the White House without stopping is, to say the least, rather embarrassing.However, for our second trip out following Covid lockdown, our fiends deemed the White House a great place for Saturday lunch, never themselves having been disappointed in over 10 years of going there. So off we trotted.For the first time in a very long time - and it wasn't just relief from lock-down speaking - we can justifiably say we will be back to the White House. Menu, bursting with home-made goodies, a good selection of draught beers and other on-tap refreshments, superb choice of Gins and for those interested in the vine, a seemingly good wine cellar.A good selection of starters were available - we took the advice of sharing two starter between four of us. Our mains were a Thai Green prawn curry, cheese topped chili, traditional roast beef lunch and a poached salmon. Not a complaint between the four of us. Deserts were just two - sticky toffee pudding for one couple and bread and butter pudding (the best I have tasted in decades!) for us. Both accompanied by wonderful, creamy custard.I'm really not too sure where the negative comments have come from. We could find nothing negative to comment about, and all of we customers in for lunch t the time (including a fabulous gentleman in his 101st year) enjoyed the food, atmosphere, cleanliness and service. Our host made us feel like we'd known him for years.Mind you, I am somewhat suspicious of reviews from people who crowbar the adjective "super" as a adverb in front of everything they say as they attempt to emulate the late Lancashire host of a very popular darts quiz show!"Look what you cold have won."

We've driven past this pub several times in the past yet never dropped so I was always very curious what it was like inside. This pub is frequented by walkers. We visited this pub on a cold and rainy August day and from the door we were warmly greeted by one of the barmaids. We were asked which room we wanted to sit in then promptly given a menu. The lady who showed us to our table apologied in advance for the fact that the pub was rather cold as no one had expected the weather to change so drastically from one day to the next; this didn't bother us though.The menu offered a good selection of dishes. We were served very quickly. The food was plentiful, the portions were very big and tasty. I will definitely be calling back in some day.Thank you everyone at the White House for making our lunch so enjoyable!

We have decided to go there and try as we have not been out for over 4 months so we were super excited. As we walked in, the atmosphere was a bit dull, very quite, no music. There was no pub vibe. We were seated and ordered drinks and food. We went for a beef and pork roast. The food arrived very fast which is not a good sign. The beef was super chewy and very tough, the potatoes which were meant to be roasted were deep fried !! Except for carrots, all the other veg were horrible. The stuffing was just like the one you get from a packet, same for the gravy. The only good thing was the pork crackling! We were very disappointed as it was our first meal out after a very long break. It is a shame that this place having such a great location, surrounded with beautiful views cannot deliver a good English Sunday roast dinner. The tables outside were very dirty covered in bird poo. It was not pleasant . We will not come back and we don’t recommend this place.

Me and a colleague were very excited to finally do the walk from todmorden to the infamous the white house pub.When we finally got there I ordered two pints and took them outside where we were sat on a bench with our dog, as we thought we would check if they allowed dogs, which they didn't.When I got to the bench my colleague accidentally nocked my pint over and went to get a new one. The tall blonde woman wearing no socks who served me came out and proceeded to tell me it was the wobbly bench and I was stupid to still be sitting on it if a drink had already fallen and told me to sit on another one, abit shocked I complied and sat on the bench when she proceeded to rip up the bench and flipped it over. She then repeated imply it was my fault for sitting on the bench, I then told her it was a common accident it wasn't anyone's fault, how was we to know about the bench.Very rude.

Recommended to the restaurant and was not disappointed. Unusual way of ordering your food you actually order in the outskirts of the kitchen. We had home made steak and kidney and the rag pudding. Very reasonably priced an added bonus they have a number of real ales. Met a centurion who is a regular diner that must be a good sign

Visited today 9th March. My partner had the 10oz rump steak and didnt leave any ( he always leaves something) I had the chilli and it was one of the best I've had. Food was beautiful as was the service. We will be back

We had spicy beef strips, steak & kidney pie, fish pie, gammon and eggs. One of the best meals we've had there. Very tasty and reasonably priced.

Very surprised that there was no need to book for valentine's day. My parents had offered to have the children at the last minute so thought we would struggle. Chap on phone said no problem just come up there should be no problem getting a table for 2. Upon arrival we were served at the bar straight away. They were no tables left in the bar area but plenty in the restaurant area. Hubby decided to try the haggis to start which he really enjoyed. I had the halloumi cheese which was gorgeous. For mains he chose the venison again which he had never tried before. He loved it and was expecting it to be really "gamey" but it was perfect. I had the gammon chips and salad. The gammon seemed a bit tough in areas and the chips a little overcooked. Staff here were brilliant. Very friendly and welcoming. Plates were cleared quickly and service was quick too.We will return.

Out of the way old fashioned pub. Great food for lunch or an evening meal. The choice is good with very helpful staff and service we visited for lunch on a very cold snowy day, the open fire was welcoming and a good choice of beers and wine. You can book up front so give it a try when in the area

We've been coming here for over 15 years and never left a review so thought it was time we did!Arrived at opening time on a Friday Evening. Served by a friendly, polite barmaid and took seats in the conservatory. Ordered our good, it was on our tables promptly. All food was lovely, good quality and generous portions. Service was friendly and efficient. Prices are very reasonable, we think mains have gone up in price by as little as £3 in the 15 years of us being customers - remarkable when you consider how the cost to the business of staff wages, utilities and all other overheads have gone up in that time. As we were leaving the bar was full and most tables were taken, a sure sign of a good pub and eaterie!

Went for lunch on the off chance with no great expectations . The decor remains old style pub , but I like that . I wasn't expecting much but I was wrong . The food was well cooked , plates were hot and the sizes, well value for money . My burger was delicious and my partner is a connoisseur of cheese pies and said theirs was better than his . Would go again for decent, reasonably priced pub food

Warm welcome from the landlord set us up for a great visit. Quality menu from which we chose the roast chicken (twice) and the gammon, all meals were excellent, freshly cooked and much enjoyed. Decent pint too. Clearly a popular eating pub judging by the numbers of people eating. Recommended.

A welcoming pub with good pub food, always a wide choice and reasonably priced. Good service with pleasant staff. On top of the moors with brilliant views.

We attended a private function for approx 80 people and loved our entire evening dining experience. Each course was rich with flavour and had plenty extra on offer. The special dietary requests were delicious and all the staff were happy to serve us. I felt the success of the function was largely due to the warm hospitality of The White House and seamless coordination of the service. We are already thinking about when we will go back for our next traditional English pub meal. Thank you!

Food expensive for what it is, very disappointing as previously been and enjoyed. Landlady very obnoxious and up her own rear! Needs lessons in customer service instead of just taking the cash and not giving a monkeys!Wouldn't advise

We returned to this pub after an absence of some years, it hadn't changed still a great venue. An extensive venue plus a specials board with some imaginative meals. There was a small range of real ales. The service was good and staff pleasant.

Rocked up half an hour before it opened and the owner took pity on us and opened the door. We got fresh coffee and a superb sandwich and chips, wish this was local to us. Lovely place, great atmosphere. By 12.20 it was full of people. *****

We eat at the White House at least once a month and are usually more than impressed with the standard of food and service provided however today was a real disappointment on all fronts. My husband ordered a special halibut meal with chips and vegetables £14.85 as expected because halibut is expensive this was a small portion of fish however the chips were oven chips and also sparse comapared to the amount served on previous visits. Similarly the veg consisted of one carrot stick three small pieces of cabbage and two green beans. My husband never complains but felt this was completely unacceptable the chef in the kitchen said portions were as normal - must be a new chef because this was not the case. The proprietor phoned us and stated she had seen the portions and felt they were as normal however, she also stated she was at the cash and carry when we were having our meal so couldn't have seen ours. As stated by a previous customer what happend to the customer always being listened to. So sad to witness good customer service withdrawn no establishment is perfect but those that come near to such are usually the ones who are aware they can and do have bad days.

We visited yesterday as a family of 15. On arrival the lady, whom I presume was the owner was very attentive and arranged a table for us which we were grateful for with it being a busy bank holiday Monday.

Found this pub at the weekend after going to hollingworth lake. Great little find. Food was lovely, massive portions and reasonable prices. The food came quick too considering it was pretty busy. Just gutted i didn’t see the specials menu until after I’d ordered. Will definitely be visiting again.

Went with family and ordered the veg with the chicken. The broccoli was seriously soggy and tasteless as were the green beans. Mentioned it to 2 staff members including when I paid. Got absolutely no apology or any offer of how to compensate.

Not a planned stop, but glad we did stop! A hidden away place, that is well worth a visit. From entering there was a real homely atmosphere.

Always nice to eat freshly cooked food with great selection of standard and special starters and mains ,now also.serving smaller meals for smaller appetites . Great selection of wines and beers , fresh coffee and tea and lovely desserts . Consistently good , suitable for all ages

Party of 11 family members , good ale , service friendly and efficient , be aware these are man size portions , glad I didn’t have a starter as there would be no way I could have finished my main . I had the steak strips , lovely , the Lamb Henry also looked fantastic ! Great busy vibe and will definateley go back !

Lovely service and food. We had the fried brie for starter and it came really quick. For main we had the ploughmans and the wing and rib combo, couldn't fault it. The portion sizes are really big too.

I’ve eaten at the Whitehouse for many years but have never left a review before.

We visited the White House this evening and happened to overhear a young lady complaining about the taste of the steak she had been served. The waitress made several visits to the chef who refused to accept that there was anything wrong with the steak. The chef himself never came out to talk to the lady but insisted via the waitress that

On a family visit to Rochdale we decided to try out the White House.

This is a pub that is set in a remote area with great views across the moors and reservoir, used by passing motorists and walkers alike. With a bar area and 2 dinning areas there is plenty of places to sit

This is a well-known pub which you can’t miss travelling from Rochdale to Halifax. A big white building in the middle of nowhere with great views( if there is no cloud).

We have had Sunday Lunch here twice in recent weeks

What's happened at the Whitehouse? Is it a new chef or it's just gone off. Lamb Henry was okay but chips were just average. Vegetables which normally are nicely cooked were completely overdone, almost soggy. The "special" plaice in with lemon and parsley was satin a bath of melted butter, and the fish looked as if it had been cooked at lunchtime and just heated up. Accompanying new potatoes were anything but new. A most disappointing experience.

We were booked in as a party of 13 for my Dads 70th birthday at 13:15. We arrived at 13:00 and sat down for 13:15. We wrote our order down to save time for the waitress staff who were very friendly. The guy behind the bar was rude and made numerous smutty suggestive comments to my mum while she was buying drinks at the bar. My sister was at the bar and overheard him say to a waitress "have they gone yet" (referring to us on the 'middle table') to which she said "no they've just ordered their main". After we waited a while for our meal of very average food we decided to skip dessert and go for coffees to finish off, again writing down our order, to be told the kitchen was closed and the coffee machine was turned off behind the bar. Very disappointing and we were made to feel like we had to cut our meal short and leave. If the pub didn't have time to serve our meals and give us time to eat they should have suggested we came earlier.

Being local we have visited The White House on numerous occasions over the past months with no complaints about the food or service ,however last night the wheels fell off. We were taken there as a birthday treat for my wife but for 3 of us the food was rubbish 2 of us ordered Barnsley chop and asked for it to be cooked through, it was cooked through alright well and truly over cooked, When the food arrived instead of of a decent sized chop there were 2 pathetic thin cops hardly a centimetre thick , dry and tough , the steak knife was no match for them I gave up on the second chop and left it. As for the third meal, my Grand Daughter had a sirloin steak and this was the same, overdone.The frozen chips however were lovely freshly cooked and crispy, best item on the plate. But £13.50 for a plate of chips????

Came here with my partner last night as we were in work clothes and wanted somewhere casual for some nice pub grub. We went in, unsure whether we ordered at the bar, sat ourselves down or we were seated. After being blanked for quite a while we ordered a drink and asked. Decor dated and dark. We sat down and ordered quickly. Waited 15 minutes for our starter. I ordered halloumi, my parter cheesy garlic bread. Garlic bread was cheap white muffin! Cut into chunks with gallons of cheese on top! Bottom burnt to a crisp. When we eventually got our mains we were interrupted by another customer complaining about something in his food. Blonde lady came over with awful customer service and passed the buck to another server to deal with. Our meals were served with god awful 70’s style salad which was like warm, obviously sat under a heat lamp. Meat was tatty and chips were average. Staff miserable, decor and food stuck in the 70’s. Picture shows what I left as I could stomach it!

Good food, friendly atmosphere. An old fashioned local country pub that serves excellent pub grub in a warm and cozy setting with an open fire. Great little oasis in the 'wilds' of Blackstone Edge!

Family meal for my mum’s birthday ruined by the behaviour of one of the servers. Responded in a rude manner when one of the party double checked their order then said “what do you want white shirt” when taking the order from the next member of the party. Topped off with one starter being sent back with a hair in the food. Don’t bother going!

We stopped in here after a New Year walk and found it warm, cosy and welcoming.

Went for a walk on the moors and called in for lunch. Place was busy and warm! Directed to table in main room and ordered various dishes for group. Chicken breast, pies, fish and chips and a salad. Service was ok, prices are reasonable and like I have said you get a good plate full. It won't let you down.

Booked in advance as is a very popular restaurant apart from stunning views from car park the inside is warm and inviting, our tables were all set for us and manager was immediately on hand to welcome us and begin serving our drinks from the well stocked bar. Unbelievably we ordered our meals straight from the very extensive menu and got our starters all together, followed after by our main courses, of which most were different. Brilliant service by brilliant table waitresses. We had a great time thanks

Visited yesterday for lunch with hubby.I had the trio of fish and he had curry.Both were excellent and good value.A special mention must go to Ivan the bartender.Such a great host-in fact all the staff are lovely.Definately be back soon.

Excellent food as per usual and very reasonably priced . Always made to feel very welcome by the staff and had a laugh with some customers as if we were old friends . Highly recommend x

great menu and specials board. food well cooked and presented. staff helpful and polite. great selection of beers and gin on offer. well worth a visit

Quick Tour de Yorkshire saw us pull in here late on a Sunday afternoon in November with friends from Huddersfield. Felt comfortable and at ease immediately. Fairly traditional menu but wholesome and hearty fare, generous portions too. Refreshing lack of pretension which is frequently lacking in more Southerly gastro pubs. Friendly staff and locals, everything that a decent boozer should be.

Fantastic place. Food was lovely and place very clean. Really friendly staff and quick service. Great homely environment. Definitely worth a visit.

Great food, lovely atmosphere,friendly staff, beautiful scenery. The food is always tasty & good value for money. My partner & I go regularly & always enjoy our visit. We highly recommend the white house to our family & friends.

The White House up on black stone road, very nice place to eat and drink food excellent log fire in cold days nice views from some tables good atmosphere friendly staff

I went to the Whitehouse for lunch with a friend. I had the steak pudding ...oh my it was to die for!! Everything was lovely the pudding itself melted in the mouth and the steak was to perfection. I actually ate every single piece of food on the plate. I had chips too which were crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the In side. ....it's a very naughty meal but deliciously lovely!!!! I actually gave it 4/5 as I had to take my wine back because the glass "smelled" buy I think that's down to the glasswasher. .. machine... not a big problem and the next was fine!

We visited the Whitehouse with 6 adults and one child the menu was as expected traditional pub grub with also a specials borad recived a warm welcome from staff food was great no complaints from our party drinks and food price very reasonable thank you for a great night

I cannot think of a more badly designed restaurant - just seventies style and absolutely zero ambiance. Looked at menu; looked at dining area; walked out. A classic location high on moor below Roman Road / Blackstone Edge and right on Pennine Way. What a waste of what could be an iconic site!

Called in en route from Sowerby Bridge to Littleborough. Sadly we were too late for lunch, but availed ourselves of a cup of coffee. Really friendly landlord and we were still chatting with him despite his intention to close 3pm to 6pm which is his daily routine. Apparently he has the occasional complaint demanding he should stay open, but he needs a break and he does own the pub.

We made a lunch stop here as we spotted a car park full of cars and people drinking outside. That looked a good sign so we drove into the carpark bagging the last available space.

Had dinner here and loved the menu (huge portions and lots of variety); great atmosphere in the place. You can enjoy a fantastic view from the car park and the staff are incredibly friendly - you get a really warm welcome.

19 members of our Heaton Park Astronomy Group visited the lofty location for a meal and hopefully some stargazing. Alas, the clouds prevented the latter, but the meal made up for that.

It’s very rare that at the point of starvation you find the perfect place, but the White House is it.

This was the first time in months we had the chance to go and chill out and have meal without thinking about the two little boys. So we ordered the big steaks, what a mistake, i ordered a blue steak and my wife a medium rare, what we got where two very fatty well done bits of tatty meat, the veg was tasteless and dry obviously been sat for a while.

Just passing by chance and we stopped for dinner, it was a good experience!! Good food and good atmosphere. The portions are very large and tasty. They have a couple of Ale beers which is a plus

On a brilliant sunny day, we made a return visit to The White House. As usual a wide choice on the menu - despite the restaurant being nearly full, the service was brilliant. Will continue to visit

Excellent food service and bar every thing from walking in to the white house to walking out absolutely great can't wait to go back

I met my husband at the White House after he walked part of Pennine Way. We had Thai green chicken curry & even the rice was amazing (light & fluffy) great choices menu, lovely atmosphere, lovely views as in pic

From the moment we walked through the door there was a great atmosphere and met the barman who we think was the owner, he was very helpful and friendly. Our meals came with in 10 mins and all were delicious. This was our first visit to this pub but will definitely not be our last.

the food was fresh and lovely, the view is beautiful. Great atmosphere, lovely staff, so helpful - when I next visit my Dad and other relatives again we will be back ;-)

Just called in as we were passing and so glad that we did. Excellent choice of drinks from an obviously well kept cellar. Plentiful choice of well cooked and well presented food from both a regular menu and a comprehensive specials board. It will now be definitely on our list of 'must visit again' list.

A great place to eat,menu excellent,service superb,price very encouraging for us to go again,good beer in an establishment which where it is has a reputation to keep up we had 2 haddock & prawn which went down a treat + 1 gammon ,YUM YUM, a large white wine 1 pint of Timothy Tailors landlord + a half of the same total bill £41.15 once again YUM YUM .suggest you get there early as it soon gets full ,plenty of parking,opening times Monday to Saturday 12 noon to 2pm & 6.30pm to 900pm.Sunday 120 noon to9.00 pm

Stopped in for lunch on way home with my disabled dad. It was easy to access for him and there was plenty of room at the table. We arrived just before midday, and glad we did as the pub filled up very quickly. There was plenty of variety on the menu, and a long list on the specials board. We both chose fish and chips, a smaller portion was available for my dad. The meal was quick to arrive and was well presented and of a good standard. It had a great atmosphere as there were plenty of walkers coming in to order lunch, and the staff were very friendly. Would go again.

Fantastic food & excellent location view wise! Reasonable prices & caters to all tastes. Can get busy at peak times but excellent location for ramblers, dog walkers, cyclists etc definitely one to try.

We have just had another great meal at the white house pub heading over the tops to Halifax. The staff are very friendly great meals and always busy. May I say they never let you down on the meal portions and always come out full .

Had a splendid meal for our family get together. Service and food excellent. We all had something different from the menu and the specials board. The food was all great

And what a lovely Alternative, I enjoyed my pint of real ale, my wife enjoyed her half of lager & lime, her meal & I enjoyed my meal. The people locally are very friendly. It was an alternative as we had been walking with the RBS Group Pensioners Association Walking Group which we did from the Hollingworh Lake Visitor Centre. Originally we were supposed to have dined at the Beach House, their loss was very much our gain.

So both meals that myself and my partner ordered turned up food falling off the plate and mostly burnt. We did get to listen to the two female bar staff having a good slagging off of the management. We weren't once asked how our meals were as the bar staff were too busy sitting on the customer side of the bar enjoying a pint themselves. I wouldn't recommend the food or the service. If the chef put as much effort into his cooking as he did messing on his phone maybe it wouldn't have been burnt or at least edible.

This really is excellent value for money and the food never fails to please. We are a group of 8 friends and regularly visit the White House, as well as when we are looking for somewhere to celebrate a family occasion.

The food could be better. The White House has been up and down over the years. It has a fantastic location, good for walking the pennine way and Blackstone Edge. Nice homely pub and friendly staff.

Three generations of our family had dinner here and the menu was very broad, with plenty of choice to suit those who preferred more traditional pub grub and also those wanting to try something more adventurous. You order in the kitchen rather than at the bar, which is a bit strange (and watch out for the step down), but service was fast and friendly. The prices were generally below £10 for a (large) main course, which was excellent value.

Wanted to take my parents out for a drive and something to eat and my friend recommended this place. I've driven by many times over the years but never popped in. We were given a warm welcome. There was a wide choice on the menu and lots of specials. Never had to go to the kitchen to order my food before - nice quirky feature! The food was good quality and reasonably priced. My husband particularly liked the Cumberland sausage.

Been this evening the food is ok, but nothing special, they serve large meals, which was ok, but the chips are dreadful, crispy bits which should be thrown away not served , if I was visiting again I definitely would not have chips! The food is served hot, and the staff are really nice and welcoming. After reading the reviews and recommendations I was slightly disappointed.

One of the ladies behind the bar was horrendously rude, not just to us but another customer we saw. Firstly a customer asked if they were ok to sit at the table they were at or if it was reserved, she rudely replied no it...

my wife and i plus eldest grandson ( his 13th birthday) went for his birthday meal ( his choice)

The White House never let's you down. Excellent food, Excellent Service, Great (lively) atmosphere in the bar area. A couple of little things which might need looking at:

Haven't been for ages but can't think why because when you walk in you are greeted by cheery staff who are very welcoming. The atmosphere was great and it was an extremely relaxing and enjoyable experience. All the food served to us and other diners from the wide ranging menu was fabulous.

Have eaten here twice within the last week. Food was fantastic. Plates were clean when they left the table. The first time we had the steak deal. Two steaks for 28 qiud plus a bottle of wine. Bargain and the steaks were cooked to perfection. The second visit was as equally satisfying.

I used to live locally and spend plenty an afternoon here with my faithful companion. I visited my daughter last weekend and we went for a walk along the Pennine way with my dog. I suggested a quick pint in your pub only to be turned away unceremoniously. I was absolutely taken aback maybe you now only cater for people with hunters Wellington's or are Wellington's banned as well. Owd betts for me from now on.
