This was my first trip to The White House and my first meal out in a few months so I was really looking forward to the meal as I had heard great things about it but I was a little disappointed really. My partner had the gammon, chips and veg and his gammon was a beautiful piece of meat, substantial and tasty, obviously great quality. I had the steak and kidney pie, chips and veg, the pie was a rather small piece and the chips were not real chips freshly cooked but of the frozen type that you might get in a Weatherspoons - I was really disappointed with them as they were tasteless. The waitress explained they were made offsite as they hadn’t room to make fresh chips. It wasn’t awful food by any standards but I feel that my meal didn’t reflect the price point. I suppose just not to my taste or expectations.

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!

We had excellent service, but TBH, we were with a good friend of the owner's, so it's not a fair assessment, but it looked good for everyone else. I have dietary restrictions, one of which is diabetes, so my choices are very limited. I had salmon and it was delicious.

I was a quite disappointed as the food was brought out for 4 and the fifth came when the others were nearly finished, something I find very annoying. Presentation of the food was a bit lax. I had to ask for the bill twice to no avail so went and paid at the bar. To be fair it was quite busy, but I left feeling it could have been better.

Got stuck in the snow on my motorbike ( don't ask ), got to the White House, with others who were stuck in the snow in cars ! The Owner ( I assume ?) and staff were all welcoming, and cheering everyone up. I had a coffee and meal ( lovely food ), The owner asked if I wanted anything else, I said 'yes please, a snow plough and a gritter' she came back 10 mins later, and said on it's way, and it did come 20 mins later !! That's what you call service ! I haven't been into the pub in quite a while, but now we will definitely call again, good friendly service, and nice food. Well recommended !!!

Love this place. Always a warm welcome and great food. 30-40 minutes drive from home but well worth it. Comfortable and relaxed. Never had a complaint with anything I've ordered. Especially cozy in winter when the big open fire is going. I always have the Cumberland sausage and my GF has a roast dinner, we can never fit dessert in.

As a local the White House has always been a boat hole. a "when doubt" place if you will. Every time it has never failed to deliver. Our experience has always been positive. Staff excellent, Management attentive, Comprehensive Menu, food good without pulling up any trees. Prices reasonable. If you can get over yourself watching Masterchef the White House is all you need from a Pub / Restaraunt. Good food, Good Staff, Good Place - Keep it up.

We had never been to the White House before, however we will certainly be going back. Food was superb, we had Garlic Mushrooms and Squid to start with, followed by Lamb Henry and Steak and Kidney pie. Considering how busy they were, and when I say busy, it was absolutely heaving! We didn't have to wait long for our starters at all. It was hot and delicious. Then again after a short time of finishing, out came the mains, piping hot and even tastier. Nothing was waisted and the meat just melted in your mouth. Definitely worth the money, albeit not expensive at all!! Unfortunately, we were both toooo full to finish off with a pudding this time, but look forward to going back. The staff were very pleasant, helpful, polite and seem to be willing to help in any way they can to make you feel very welcome, and they succeeded :-). We would certainly highly recommend that you give it a go.

Smashing not smash. Told err in doors and the kids that was going to be my title and they looked at me blank, obvs not children of the 70's. (For mash get Smash - google it) Anyway as usual I digress. We had 4 meals and all were superb or to go back to the 80's super, smashing, great. Youngun wanted to try steak and kidney pie but wasn't sure she would like it, she who must be obeyed order Lamb Henry (not sure who he is but apparently it's a thing) so they could swap. Older bearn ordered her usual fish and chips. I had the pork cheek. All were tremendous (as Craig Cash would say). Little'n loved the pie, and it was a proper pie to which you got a slice from a big pie, not one of these so called pies in its own dish with a bit of crusty pastry on the top only. Suffice to say no swapping necessary. Beer was super, service was smashing, and the price was great. Unfortunately no room for pud. I'll be back as Arnie once said. Oh, I would recommend mash potato

The smoked salmon on the starter was great, I hoped the prawns wouldn't be frozen given the pub is known for a good fish menu. The lamb Henry was the best I've had just like last time, veg a little over cooked but given the older patrons like it that way that's fine because the lamb is that good!.

Spent the morning walking around a few of the many reservoirs in the area and chanced upon the The White House for a spot of lunch. What a great find, the staff are so friendly and chatty and make you feel welcome straight away. We sat down in the front room overlooking the main road. The tables are generously spaced so no need to squeeze in wherever you sit. There is a good choice on the menus with some interesting dishes and a very attractive special menu that was exactly that, special. Being lunch time we both opted for the steak and onion baguette with chips, salad and homemade slaw. This was huge and delicious, the baguettes were generously filled, and served with “Proper” chips and a delicious salad, not just a few leaves tossed on the plate but a salad consisting of radish, cress, tomato, peppers etc. Delicious All in all a lovely afternoon enjoying a lovely lunch, well done The White House, see you soon!

I don’t normally leave reviews but last nights curry sauce was disgusting!!! It was as runny as tap water and the taste…I don’t even know how to describe it, it was like a really bad tin of watery soup, it wasn’t even curry 😡 and the chips was like rubber as if they’d been warmed back up from hours earlier!!!
