White Horse in Central Bedfordshire

Had a pleasant meal on a saturday evening - each of us had a different main course and all said it was excellent. Good service. Now we have to go back and try what the others had chosen!

Have eaten here now a few times .......... always tasty ......... the pub is friendly and beautifully clean!!! A little gem .............

We called in this pub as we were passing at lunchtime and never been there before. There was a friendly welcome from the two serving staff. The food was a cut-above 'pub grub' and prepared with loving care - really good. We will visit again

I recently held my 50th birthday party at The White Horse and have been extremely impressed by the level of service from all staff involved. They catered for around 50 people and I was amazed at how much food just kept coming from the kitchen...

I visited the pub with family on a weekday and straightaway fell in love with the feel of the pub, very cosy. We got some drinks at the bar and then sat out in the Garden which was again lovely and spacious. Just watch any...

Excellent service, all 7 meals arrived together, well presented, generous portions. The dessert were a masterpiece.

Lovely food with very friendly staff will definitely visit again. Had the mixed platter starter and scampi main all lovely.

Lovely and cosy pub with very good food and moderately priced. We really enjoyed our meal here! The staff was friendly and the pubs atmosphere was highly enjoyable 😊

Having lived in the area some years ago and been a regular visitor when the previous owners were in situ we decided to stop for a quick lunch today on our return to Norfolk where we now live. The new management greeted us warmly, and...

Stopped here with a few colleagues while out on a trip. Really nice location, very friendly staff, and great chips!

Came here with 7 friends whilst on a bike ride. We've stopped here more than 20 times in the past 5 years, eaten lunch and had no issues. Unfortunately landlord now has a vendetta against anyone who has a bicycle. Wouldn't even let us sit...

My wife and I popped in for an unplanned lunch on our way home. It was a very quaint pub / restaurant. We both had a stater and their chicken curry. Good food (curry was quite hot - which I like). The young guy serving...

Had a lovely girlie catch up this lunchtime. Lovely food and sue the waitress couldn't do enough. Food was well cooked, hot and fresh. Lovely.

Whether you’re just wanting a quiet lunchtime meal and a drink or a full evening meal, you won’t be disappointed. The staff are all really friendly and make everyone welcome. Just popping in for a drink is a pleasure as there’s a wide variety of...

Six of us went for lunch. Service was very friendly and efficient. Two of our group enjoyed the sausage and mash which was tasty. Another had stuffed jacket potato which she enjoyed. My smoked haddock fish cake had no flavour at all. However my sweet...

Had lunch today with friends. First time visit which was very enjoyable. Tasty menu which we all enjoyed served by a very friendly helpful waitress. We will certainly be returning.

There were 25 in our group and the Staff tended to us with ease...although we didn't see what was happening in the kitchen. The food was hot, well presented and tasted great. I would certainly recommend this as a great stop off for lunch and a good atmosphere.

We came here for lunch. Warm welcome, friendly staff, attractive pub, and wonderful food. We were not rushed, and had a great lunch.

Only popped in for lunch on a whim as passing. We only had a drink and ‘snack’ lunches but all was good. Service prompt and friendly and good to see a traditional independent pub making a go of it with what appears to be lots going on there. Probably won’t go again as it’s not in our area but a thoroughly enjoyable experience

Very lovely staff, beautiful old pub and great value! We had a lovely dinner on a Saturday evening. Nice atmosphere - will definitely be back!

We had lunch at the White Horse on 4 March 2018 to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Our table was perfectly set up with our bottle of champagne on ice. I had the Sunday lunch, gammon and sirloin and my wife had the beef smoked bacon and ale pie, and Elizabeth had the lovely sticky toffee pudding. The wine and food were excellent. The service was friendly and perfect throughout. A very enjoyable experience.

First time I visited with extended family for lunch. We were warmly greeted, offered various places to sit & attended too. The service was very attentive, food was very good, lovely ambience & atmosphere. Recommend to friends & family. Will definitely visit again.

Popped in for a quick drink. We only had our visas and on us & the second round the payment didn’t go over £5. They wanted us to pay £5 which I refused & I offered to pay a 50p surcharge charge and it was refused. The lady who was in charge was rude and very unhelpful offering nothing but a bad attitude. Such a shame as this was our visit. Won’t be rushing back.

I took my staff out for a business lunch. The food was good and the beer excellent. I accidentally dropped my wedding ring and when I came back two days later they had it safe behind the bar. Great service and honest, caring staff. A big thankyou to the landlord!

me and my partner love our local pub, supurb food , fantastic staff just bit puddled as to why more from the village do not use it, keep up the good work tom in our eyes doing a great service

This is a lovely independent pub/restaurant which serves great food. We visited September 2017 for lunch. My wife had the Bunkers sausage's with Bubble and Squeak and me, chicken BBQ sauce and Bunkers sausage with lyonnaise potatoes. We assume the sausages are from a local butcher and twice the size of a standard sausage. If you like a big meaty sausage, calm down ladies! You will like these, there is plenty to get your chops round. The food was good and hot. We didn't expect service at the table, being in the bar, but are order was taken at the table which was nice. You also get a chocolate at the end of your meal which is unusual for a pub lunch. I was drinking Budweiser drought lager at £5.00 a pint, which is a bit expensive, other beers may have been cheaper but I assume I was paying over the odds as it is a independent pub. That aside, it is a great place to eat with a nice beer garden where they offer live jazz music on a Sunday afternoon if you fancy a bit of music with your Sunday roast. I believe a previous review mentioned 'tired garden furniture.' Well it looks as if this comment has been addressed, as it looked quite new when we visited. Very good.

I don't often write bad reviews but I can't help myself after visiting. We went with friends on a Friday evening expecting a traditional local pub with a friendly atmosphere and reasonably priced drinks. The pub was almost empty at 8pm in the evening with an atmosphere similar to the local crematorium. If thats not enough to put you off I paid £6.30 for a house gin and tonic!That was the point where I understood why the place was deserted. There are loads of great pubs within a mile or two, I'd urge you, if you fancy and enjoyable night out with friends to try one of them.

Visited for lunch all the way from Norfolk. Brilliant pub. Exceptionally friendly staff. Great food. Pleasant atmosphere. How a country pub should be. Lots to do around here too. Large beer garden. Well maintained. Would highly recommended.

I visited with my family as we were passing through the village.The service and atmosphere were good. I wasn't blown away by the food though.I had sausage with bubble & squeak. The sausages tasted very cheap. I'm unsure if they had been deep fried but I wouldn't choose it again. The bubble & squeak was bland. My husband had the roast which he finished so I guess this is the dish to opt for!The children's meals were very standard, I wish they could have healthy options, not all children want chips with everything and no veg!Served its purpose but the food could be a lot better.

Was hunting for the perfect venue for my 50 th birthday get together, for family and friends, and found everything I wanted in the White Horse in Eaton Bray ; a warm and cosy traditional country pub. Tom and team couldn't have been more helpful and accommodating , the buffet food was delicious and plentiful and catered well for the vegetarians and gluten free guests. The blues band were fabulous , and stayed on late at our request. The dining room was set aside for our personal use , but was close enough to get the buzz from the pub and to hear the music. Honestly couldn't have hoped for a more perfect location for my special birthday. Highly recommended for your special events. We will definitely be back

We popped in with our Jack Russell and made very welcome, we had fish & Chips, one mushy peas, one garden peas, we also had desserts, one Drambuie Coffee Liquor, lagers. The food was excellent but found that it was a little bit expensive.

Still not reached the heights of its previous incarnations of a few years ago sadly. Nice selection of beers but not such a good selection of white wine and the garden could definitely do with a spruce up to make it more welcoming. However, a reasonable menu selection of light lunches, snacks and a-la-carte at reasonable prices. Sadly for us, there was very little choice of GF and DF allergy meals which is a bit sad in this day and age. Whilst there were a number of GF options marked up on the menu,( which was good) the DF request was met with some uncertainty which did not engender a great deal of confidence that the kitchen brigade knew if the produce was or wasn't DF. Shame as otherwise the rating would be higher.

I went to the White Horse on the 7th May for a birthday Sunday lunch. We were not disappointed.All the staff were really nice, nothing too much trouble. The food was spot on, we had a little wait between starters and main course, but nothing to moan about, (who minds waiting an extra five minutes in a lovely pub?).We did not have a pudding,as my wife made a Birthday cake, and the girls carried it to our table. Thanks for that.It was my first time in the White Horse, but it won't be my last.

Beautiful & quaint pub with very friendly staff serving excellent quality food! We both had the steak which was delicious & melted in the mouth & the desserts we had (1 was sticky toffee, the other butterscotch & cinnamon) were both extremely yummy!

Since we were staying just around the corner, we had to stop in for dinner. Everything from the atmosphere, drink selection, and the fantastic food made our experience top notch. They offer a wide variety of food, including gluten free and vegan options.

On Saturday 4 March 2017 we were married and my wife and I and the two witnesses had lunch at The White Horse Pub Restaurant after the ceremony. We had an excellent bottle of champagne and superb food. The atmosphere, presentation and service were first class. An overall very enjoyable experience.

Lovely pub on the outside and has been in the village for 300 years. Only problem is that that the landlord (Tom) wants to turn it into an image of himself; sullen, miserable, quiet and rather boring. Don't go here if you expect a warm welcome or even a pleasant greeting, these things aren't part of the deal. I think his idea is to make customers feel as unwelcome as possible in order to have the place to himself. This could be a great village pub but it's gradually being run down by lack of music, TV, entertainment and ambience.

25 of us were at the White Horse for our Christmas family get together last Sunday. A lovely meal with excellent service in beautiful surroundings. The food was delicious, huge portions served piping hot. Nothing was too much trouble for the friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended.

We have been here on many occasions and the food is always freshly prepared it's not Green king or Whether spoons pre packed food the fillet steaks we had were succulent and cams with fresh homade sauce & veg, I have to say after having a dinner of fillet steak in the Savoy London only a few months ago, this was far superior , I would seriously recommend this place as not many places in pubs serve 1st class food of this standard, definately must try them out.

Was going to look at a wedding venue near by so stoped for lunch.The pub is lovely and the staff were very nice and helpful. £14.50 for a burger and chips so thought better not as it is only a pub so went for a sandwich thinking was going be good with nice bread but the bread was like Tesco value bread. The roast sirloin was very fattie. Also had cheeses chips which where £4.00 for a small bowl. kids meal was £6.95 for 3 small very small chicken bits and a few chips. So all in all food was ok just ok and very over priced. It's a shame as will be going past this pub a few times over the next year and would have stoped but now I won't.

The food here was brilliant, I will be back that's for sure. Nice pleasant staff and well kept beers

Pie and mash was great and ham egg and chips was quality lunch Great beer and very good as the pub stocks great zero %lagers Atmosphere and garden recommended

Turned up at the pub after a lovely 4 mile walk around Eaton Bray and Totternhoe. Lovely menu choice of fish and meats or paninis etc. Good choice of drinks too. We chose the mixed starter, pate and nachos which was plentiful and beautifully cooked (no heavy greasy batter on the fish here). Really great value, high end pub food and pleasant service. This was our second visit and will definitely be returning. Highly recommend.

Had Sunday lunch here whilst driving through. The lunch was nice but nothing outstanding You could get equally as nice a lunch in a carvery chain! The waitress however was delightful she was very attentive and had a very pleasant manner

Visited here due to the website saying food was served on a Sunday evening. It wasn't! So thought we would have drink before moving on. Ordered drinks but despite only a few people also ordering it took 15 mins to get the drinks. Apparently problems with the lemonade. The barmaid was very unfriendly and we got the impression that unless you were a local you weren't welcome. Won't go there again.

Couldn't fault it. They let us take the dog in while we sat and ate our lunch. The food was fantastic and the staff were lovely. Had some conversations with what looked like locals and had a very nice atmosphere to the entire place. Will definitely be returning the next time we visit. (Whatever dressing was on the salad was the nicest I've ever had )

We had lunch here with a friend and it was very good. The food and service were excellent. Would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking for a nice pub lunch.

Fantastic food,Best Guinness i have had in a long time and a very good service and kids welcome too.Pets are also welcome as it has a nice size garden with a stage that occasionally has a band playing.

We have been to The White Horse four times in recent weeks and each time have enjoyed a good pub meal. The menu caters for everyone and each night there are also specials. Tonight I had the Bunkers sausages with celeriac mash & onion rings. As the gentleman in the previous review says there are two Bunker sausages( speciality sausage from the local butcher) but they are large, not small, and are very tasty. The celeriac mash was not lumpy and complimented the sausages. . We had starters and main courses washed down with a bottle of delicious St Clair, Sauvignon blanc,( didn't fancy red wine tonight) and we had a very enjoyable meal.

An initially warm welcome turned sour on being charged 90p for half a pint of water. I was in a rush and needed some food otherwise I would have left. I ordered sausage and mash for £12.25. That did seem expensive but sounded quick. I did not realise but the menu did not say how many sausages - which is usually 3. It was 2! And small ones. The mash was lumpy and served with deep fried onion rings - presumably from the freezer. All in all a thoroughly disappointing meal for £12.25 plus 90p for half a pint of water.This once very busy pub was almost deserted - an inevitable result of just ripping off customers.

This is a nice country pub that we frequented years ago and decided to try it again for lunch. I ordered a pint of Peroni and a glass of wine. The Peroni was warm, I took it back and was eventually told that the cellar cooler had to be rebooted and the larger would take at least an hour and a half to cool down. I was offered the bottled variety but opted for a real ale. You purists out there would have loved it but for me that was also a little too warm. Anyway food: We were out that evening so just went for the sharing platter. This was a mix of chicken goujons, samosas, duck rolls etc. It took an absolute age to arrive and when it did it was all just warm except for the chicken bits. We will probably try this place again for a proper meal as i'm hoping they'll take more care than they did with the buffet food.

Visiting & Staying with friends that lives in the Village we walked to the White Horse Inn. We were warmly welcomed by friendly staff and shown to our reserved table. It had a lovely atmosphere and Food,Wine & Service was very good. A very relaxed enjoyable evening.

Service was really good and the food was delicious . It was just like a proper home cooked meal . The treacle tart was amazing and I don't even like puddings

To some of us "Real" (cask) ales are something to be enjoyed ... in moderation of course (!!), but all too frequently they are not because of the way they are kept. Not so at the White Horse in Eaton Bray where the cask ales are really excellent. Having frequented this pub for a number of years I can honestly say that in my opinion you will not find a better pint of Old Speckled Hen anywhere ... it really is superb, and so good that I opt for it in preference to the wonderful London Pride and Doombar which are also on offer. So if you like your real ale then try the White Horse ... I am sure you will not be disappointed.

Met up with 4 other friends for lunch. Set menu £13.50 for 3 courses, started with breaded mushrooms, then ham egg and chips with jam role poly for pudding. Mmmm. Others had soup, cottage pie, bread and butter pudding. All food was hot and very tasty.Staff are very friendly and attentive without being intrusive, so all in a very pleasant experience.Highly recommended

I was fortunate enough to eat here to celebrate a friend's birthday. The staff were very efficient, yet warm and friendly. The menu catered for all possible requirements, and the food was beautiful! Very well presented, good sized portions and very tasty. I chose the lamb shank, which was served on top of mashed potatoes and various other vegetables on a huge soup bowl style platter. The meat was 'melt in your mouth' tender, and the veg cooked to perfection. My chocolate brownie pud was to die for ...... large portion, surrounded by sauce and the cream made into an attractive feather pattern. I want to marry the person that made it - sooooooo yummy. Would I go back ..... oh yesssss!! Highly recommend this lovely place!

went here with my parents to celebate getting my new job while not very cheap I had to admit the menu strayed of the obvious things and was pretty nice

A pupil of mine gave me a voucher for The White Horse and we went there for Sunday lunch,the service was fantastic the food was first class and we had a very enjoyable lunch. Would suggest you give this a try you will I'm sure enjoy your visit.

Were taken there by friends. There was a very warm welcome and cheerful and efficient service. The presentation of all dishes was something which sold the meals. Although this was backed up by quality food well cooked. Imaginative menu and unusual specials. We were certainly well looked after and felt really welcome. Would go again

Visited here several times for drinks and decided to eat hereFood was ok, cheese a little thin on ground on the jacket potato. My biggest shock was £5.95 for a pudding. There was no prices on the smaller menu but thought they would be about £4.50 like the others. So ordered the roll poly with custard, nothing posh and the plate was as it says. When it came to pay 12pds for two average puddings. Also watch out when ordering cokes. Some members of staff will just give you a bottle, without checking some give draught the difference is 70 pence it's not a lot but for the same drink it's silly. Staff are friendly but to be honest this has put me off visiting againI don't mind paying for good food, and paying the extra for something special but two thin slices of roly poly and tinned custard (yes I could tell) £5.95 nope I think I will be keeping my money in the bank.

Fantastic seven course meal in a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Pace of the service was perfect and Christmas pudding was especially good. Ate as a family of four and will be booking early for new t year.

Popped in here a few weeks ago for a lunch time drink with the family after a long morning of shopping. Was warmly welcomed to the pub by the landlord and the girls behind the bar. Our daughter was given a table, crayons and colouring books to play with which was lovely... although a bit strange given that she's 23.(lol, only kidding, she's 3 really). We wasn’t intending to eat here but upon seeing the food going out to other tables, we couldn’t resist. The food was fresh and well cooked. I had the fresh scampi, chips and mushy peas which was superb. Our visit left such a good impression on us that we’ve been back 3 more times since! One tiny suggestion would be if they could add some burgers to their menu for a quick lunch time meal.

6 off us pre booked for the xmas menu the menu its self provides traditional eating but also some unusal items like reindeer meat all items we ordered were beautifuly cooked and presented service was first class the landlord should be very proud of what he is providing here well done not the first time we have eaten here but it is always a pleasure well done everybody

Most pubs provide food or bar meals, but the White Horse in Eaton Bray is exceptional. Overall, food quality is excellent, well presented and average cost. Service is very friendly and attentive, and a range of tastes are amply accommodated. Don't know where they found their chef, but we have never been disappointed and the choices, from several menus, easily meets most people's expectations. Sunday roasts and the treacle and stem ginger tart are recommended. Setting is olde worlde with and the whole character of the pub, itself, is excellent. Highly recommended !

Staff are pleasant and enjoyable to speak to, food is very very good, lovely atmosphere and really enjoyable experience

Eighteen of us had lunch at the White Horse after a walk on Thursday 22nd October. People were unanimous in their praise for the meal and several said that it was the best pub lunch that the group had had and very good value for money. My husband and I, who organised the visit, found the management very pleasant and efficient to deal with and the serving staff were friendly and helpful.

Met up with friends from Luton for lunch on a Saturday. Expected it to be very busy. Restaurant wasn't which was good for us. Service and food was vey good and enjoyable.

This is a local pub to me and I have eaten here many times. The menu has a good selection and the fish dishes are very nice. I've never had a bad meal here whether it be steak, fish, salad or pie, friday's and saturdays can be quite busy in the evening so would recommend booking if you want the typical 7:30 - 8pm slot. Sometimes you have a little wait for the food on these nights but it's not a big deal. Resonably priced, nice friendly staff, good atmosphere and puddings are very nice! It has a separate dining area from the pub area, but I've always eaten in the pub area. The dining area can be hired out for a large group.

This is a typical Harvester, the food and drinks were very good and service with a real smile. Only fault was the air conditioning which blew a cold breeze down on a few tables - not what you want on a cool eveing

Stopped in while passing through for a quick snack - evidently something that the White Horse does not offer!Ordered one portion of chips. Ten minutes later checked on our order to be told that the kitchen was busy but the chips were being cooked as we spoke, so should only be a few minutes.A further ten minutes passed and I checked again - amazingly the chips had gone back in time and were no longer being cooked, but had reverted to their pre-cooked "about to go on" state...Ten more minutes pass, I ask for a refund. The waitress promises that the chips are just cooking! By this stage I was just looking forward to leaving, but having waited half an hour already decide that a few more minutes wont' hurt and at least I can leave having finally got the chips....but guess what happened after a further five minutes? That was the last straw, and after persisting in my request for a refund the waitress finally backed down, stopped lying that chips were cooking, and gave me my money back. Shame she couldn't give me back thirty five minutes of my life along with it!There was also a large queue of customers at the bar complaining that they'd waited over an hour for a roast dinner and their kids were now starting to play up. At least the service is consistent. You've got to give them that.Overall, if you don't mind a very long wait, poor service, and being lied to, try the White Horse! If you want to be respected as a customer and provided with decent service, avoid.

Have once again started frequenting this pub. The lunchtime meals are excellent both in value and food. The food is very well presented and the staff are friendly but not intrusive. I would definitely recommend this establishment.

We held our evening wedding reception here as it was recommended by our venue. What can I say but what an amazing place! We chose to eat in their restaurant the evening before the wedding, the staff bent over backwards to make sure that we were well looked after, and the food was lovely and very nicely presented.The next day when we arrived after getting married, we were greeted by the land lady, which was a lovely touch. All of our guests were very well looked after, and the chef put on a great buffet for us. This is a lovely pub, and all the locals made us feel very welcome too! At the end of the night, the landlord brought myself and new wife a drink, and his lovely wife made sure that we all got taxis, and that we wouldn't get over charged!Brilliant, recommend recommend recommend!Thank-you guys for helping make our wedding day the amazing day it was!Nick & Aurelija

We had our family get-together at the White Horse yesterday, Tom and Jade did us proud. Really lovely food beautifully presented. To serve piping hot meals for 20 people can't be easy but they made it look effortless. Thoroughly enjoyed by all, a great success. Thank you so much.

My new local for the last 5 months, lovely pub, lovely food, warm and welcoming staff. Couldn't ask for more. Brilliant!

The White Horse Pub/Restaurant is the local favourite of my wife and I for both Sunday and mid-week meals . It always has an interesting menu and the wine list contains a section of well-priced, highly drinkable wines . Tom and Jade , together with their staff , make every visit , whether for a meal or a leisurely drink , a real pleasure .

Have eaten here twice now, once just before xmas and a another in feb half term. I Love it - with a capital L! So cosy, friendly one of the few places that actually knowledge you when you walk in and are happy for you to be there. Very attentive and helpful. The menu is great, lots of choice nice specials, unusual but not pretentious, well cooked and such value for money - esp if they have an offer of 2 or 3 course. It seems locally either the pubs are expensive or rubbish this is none of those, good value and good old fashioned customer service. Will def come back.

Let me say first off that the White Horse is our local. We have lived here for seven years ( Eaton Bray ), and have visited our local on various occasions, usually for food. In the past, quality has varied between good and so so. This evening, we were celebrating an anniversary, didn't fancy taking the car so we walked over the road. Service was quick and polite, we found a table and we're handed the menus and specials card. Kathy, who has dietary problems, went for her usual plain meal ( scampi and chips) and I had soup and the smoked cod from the specials card. The soup arrived, it was butternut squash and something else. Surprise surprise it was interesting, with a bit of spice to it, very nice with warm bread and butter.The main course arrived after a short wait as it was being cooked fresh and it was worth the wait. Smoked cod covered with a mushroom sauce with shrimps, vegetables and mashed potatoes. Quite often, these dishes look better on the card than in the flesh, as it were. This was even better than expectation. The fish was lovely and fresh, the accompanying sauce perfect. Even the vegetables were good. The dessert menu was small and I usually go for the cheese board but this time there was a dessert on the specials card that appealed. Apple and stem ginger pudding. Again, this turned out to be above expectation. Lovely light sponge soaked in the apple and ginger and it tasted as per description, which, in my experience, is quite often not the case. Served with a raspberry sauce, presentation was very good.Because We are not wine drinkers, Kathy will have a glass of water and I like a real ale which was served well, not always the case. I like putting good reviews on Trip advisor and this one I liked a lot.

I took my Fiancée to this place for Valentines must say what a lovely place, old pub with super real ales and the food was fantastic the staff very friendly and didn't bother us to much rose petles scattered on the table were a nice touch the steak was lovely just that I had the lamb shank and could have done with a bit more meat on it for the price but we will go again and is on our list for best pubs.

We went here for our Valentines dinner and I cannot praise it enough. The food was absolutely excellent and the service first class. I would definitely recommend this place. No pre packed junk here. All fresh ingredients. Please give this a go.

just a quick review of this fantastic village pub, if you want a good selection of food cooked with care and attention then this is the place to go, I have eaten here on many occasions and the chef has never failed to deliver a tasty well presented meal. This pub deserves to be bursting at the seams with patrons.The staff are very welcoming and friendly and deserve to succeed in keeping this traditional British pub authentic .It really is a hidden gem. Go and sample the great food before a restauranter with deep pockets snaps the chef up for his own use..The food is in my opinion very good value, for those of you who disagree I suggest you continue your meals out at mc Donald's.Thanks to all staff, keep up the good work.

Saturday lunch and what a surprise! Smoked goose with blueberry sauce - inspirational. Beautifully presented. Mash with shallots, red cabbage & asparagus. It was divine! Compliments to the chef & the staff. Relaxed, comfortable, unpretentious and all within walking distance. For those not so lucky, The White Horse is definitely worth the drive.

Good food, good beer, friendly staff, lovely quaint English pub.Found during a local geneology trip around the area looking for my wife's mothers family -they lived around here in the 1600's apparently, and looking at some of the buildings today, they would have been familiar to them in the past -we would like to think they drank in the White Horse!Nice little village to walk around too.

We visited the White House as part of a family group of four on a Saturday evening and it was surprisingly quite. As two of us are vegetarians we asked if the menu had veggie options and were told it did. Unfortunately the landlord's idea of veggie options and vegetarians' ideas of what is vegetarian obviously differ: nearly all the options marked with a "V" were fish dishes! Note to restaurant and pub owners: fish isn't a vegetable! So that's a pretty poor start to the dining experience, especially as the menu seemed to have loads of sea food options and only a few other options for veggies. As we'd come out there and the meat eaters were OK with the menu we carried on. Once ordered the food came and was fine as a basic "pub food" but nothing really to write home about.

A friendly village pub with a classic menu,and there are no surprises with the food ,and whats on offer is fantastic home cooked food,deliciously prepared, have eaten her twice with my sister and brother i law ,very friendly and pleasant staff, and the owners take there time to make you feel welcome from the start.Pleasent surroundings and very good service.Recommend this pub if you want good food,and value for money.

I took friends to The White Horse on Friday lunchtime. It was their first visit to the pub , although I had been there before to eat in the past and was very impressed with the place .We were greeted by the Landlord who asked us to go straight to our table while he sent a waitress to take our drinks order. We all chose from the £6 weekday lunchtime menu, and our meals were all of an excellent quality and very enjoyable indeed. I have never known better value for money , and we all agreed that the service and standard of our lunchtime expirence was that of a restaurant charging three times the price. Desserts are not to be missed , as the chef created 'works of art' on our plates which tasted just as beautiful as they looked.I would not hesitate in recommending or taking friends to The White Horse in the future .

A friendly village pub with a classic menu. This means there are no surprises with the food choice, but what is on offer is fantastic, with some novel takes on classic dishes. Friendly staff and owner make you feel welcome from the start. Recommended if you are in the area.

Roast beef was excellent, cooked beautifully and sooo tender. Just perfect home-cooked food. Veg was a lovely accompaniment, not too much and not too little. Landlord was friendly and staff were helpful. What more do you need for Sunday lunch?

I visited the White horse with my Wife and her Brother who was over here from Norway. I found the meal was excellent and the landlord and his staff were very sociable. Top marks.

Although I have already praised this restaurant in the past. I feel I must add a huge thankyou to the Landlord, Landlady,Chef and staff. We had a wonderful family celebration for my Mum's 90th birthday. My brother and one of my son's had flown in especially to join us. I have to say that the meal was perfect (most had the Sunday roast), The Staff went over and above to help the lunch go well. There were 16 of us, so we took over the restaurant with one long table and they allowed us to decorate the room. The meals were all out at the same time and were hot and tasty. Mum had ice cream for pudding and the Chef even customised this - writing Happy 90th Birthday around the plate, a very special touch. Lots of positive comments from everyone. Some saying it was the best Sunday lunch in a restaurant they'd ever had. Mum's favourite drink is a bellini, it was no trouble at all for them to start us off with these and they went down very well indeed. Would certainly recommend this restaurant whatever the occasion.

Landlord was rude and intoxicated and the food was disappointing so much so a microwave meal was on par with it

An attractive pub overlooking the picturesque village green, it consists of a beer garden at the rear, a single room bar wrapped around a central bar counter and a restaurant area off to one side. It seems a very pleasant pub in a very nice spot, and the landlord was friendly and very helpful. The main bar area has a traditional country pub feel to it, with a blue carpeted floor and the walls being predominantly rough white plasterwork with black timbers. The low ceiling had a number of beams adjourned with horse brasses whilst there were a few local pictures, plates, etc., scattered around the walls. There were a couple of brick chimney breasts, although whether the fires are used in the colder weather I’m not sure. One contained a stack of logs, the other an old gas fire. The restaurant area looked to be more contemporary with a wooden floor and upright, leather chairs although I did not investigate this. The garden had plenty of picnic benches, as well as a covered area off to one side that included a plasma screen showing the tennis.Food wise, the menu wasn’t particularly extensive, but I’d always go for quality over quantity and there should be something to suit most tastes. Main courses were mostly somewhere around the £9 - £12 range, and included pub classics such as Steak or Scampi & Chips, but also some slightly more adventurous options such as a lamb shank or chilli, coriander & red onion sausages. My crayfish, pea & wild mushroom risotto was a decent and tasty dish.Beers on tap were London Pride, Doom Bar, Old Speckled Hen and Greene King IPA. The solitary cider was Aspall’s Suffolk. Overall, despite the slightly unadventurous beer choice, I really liked this pub and would certainly return if on the area.

Ci siamo andati dopo avere letto le altre recensioni su tripadvisor. Il locale è il classico pub di campagna situato all'angolo di due strade in un edificio caratteristico. La cena è stata buona, compresa la birra; purtroppo avevano terminato i "piatti speciali" per cui ci siamo accontentati di cose più consuete; Forse, rispetto alle recensioni ci aspettavamo qualcosa di più. In conclusione è da raccomandare.

This was our first visit since the pub changed ownership which I think is more than a year ago, previous visit did not leave us wanting to rush to return, but we did and were pleasantly surprised.The pub is an honest village pub with very friendly staff, and a well constructed menu. It is not over elaborate and the atmosphere was homely, the food was well cooked, asked for my steak rare and it was perfectly done, the battered cod did look as if it might have come from a packet but those eating it did not complain. We had a lovely evening, no loud music to compete with, no clanging fruit machines or overbearing football jabber.We will return, its a really nice place

Our first visit for a meal was not brilliant. The salmon dish was great, but the steak in peppercorn sauce was bland and devoid of pepper. Wanting to give them a second chance we booked again, for a table of three and the food was even worse than before. The prawn starter was tasteless but worse still we were served a chicken liver pate that was as runny as water and they KNEW was not yet set or ready to be served (when queried, a waitress told us "oh yeah..it wasn't ready..do you wanna refund?!!!!!..). Will definately NOT return here again.

This is clearly a "local pub for local people", but unlike in The League of Gentlemen we were made very welcome. The atmosphere was friendly, as were the bar staff, and our meal was not only delicious but well presented and great value too. If you live in the village you're very lucky. If you don't, it's worth a trip for a meal and a decent choice of beers in pleasant surroundings.

A late review, but not because of any issues with the White Horse.Considering it was Valentine's Night, it was not heaving, but acceptably busy, though we found some of the other diner's attire perplexingly unromantic and scruffy considering the underlying reasons for taking one's partner out on this night.The restaurant area was enhanced with some heart-shaped helium balloons and the tables had heart-shaped candles and trimmings - not excessive, just something to add to the occasion. Also each table had a Valentine's card for the couple on the table. (We were invited to take our table decorations away with us - but restricted ourselves to the helium balloon, but don't ask us why.)The evening offered a small 'Special' Valentine's menu in addition to the main menu, and we both chose from this. We both had the Chicken Liver Parfait, which we both agreed was delicious and felt that this could, with some alteration to the portion size, be adapted as a lunch snack, the home made bread complementing the whole and the taste balance perceived to be about right.We followed this with Sea Bass Fillets and the Pork Chop, and both were cooked and seasoned perfectly. The accompanying seasonal vegetables were different for the two dishes - the sea bass including asparagus and the pork chop having an unexpected selection that had been sauteéd or stir-fried, this actually went very well with the pork and probably improved the enjoyment of the dishNot having the larger appetites of the under 40s, we declined the dessert, prefer to be content with what we had had, though whether this was down to the Chicken Liver Parfait and the home made bread, is a point for discussion!All in all, the White Horse is exactly what it is supposed to be, a friendly efficient and well-run village pub, with good value food, a friendly atmosphere and the owners and their team giving customers a comfortable atmosphere and relaxing environment (no gaming machines, football on the TV, or intrusive music).Would we go again?Without doubt.

Its a pleasant surprise to find a traditional pub with good pub food thats well priced, friendly and a well kept cellar. Its nice to find somewhere thats not trying too hard and keeping to pub traditions.Food varied from a nice chilli, homemade pie, sea bass and salmon, all well cooked. Cheese platter for pudding was huge !Friendly staff add to the positives, definitely worth a visit.

I consider that I have high expectations when dining and don't usually dine in pubs because experience has taught me that the food delivered isn't really of a standard I appreciate. However I dined with a friend who has moved to the village and couldn't believe the quality (and quantity) of the food. Phil's beef and ale pie served with mashed potato and seasonal vegetables was absolutely delicious. I recommend it heartily!

I have been to a good few Burns celebrations but this was one of the best. Going to a restaurant is primarily about the quality of the food for me and the new chef at the White Horse excelled again on Burns night. The main (accompanied by the traditional address to the haggis) was shoulder of lamb haggis neeps and tatties with the most delightful hearty gravy. Served by delightful staff in a great atmosphere. I'm definitely going back
