Food was lovely until pudding. Was meant to be a banoffee pie but was just a massive chunk of buiscuit with a little cream 3 pieces of banana and very little toffee sauce. Very disappointed to say the least considering the puddings are charged at 8pounds each

The White Horse Pub in Hawkinge is an absolute gem, and my recent experience there was nothing short of spectacular. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with warmth and professionalism by Abby, who provided exceptional service throughout my visit. Let's talk about the food - an absolute culinary delight crafted by the talented chef, Keyleigh. The garlic and chili prawn on sourdough starter was a burst of flavors that tantalized my taste buds, setting the perfect tone for the meal ahead. The beef and Guinness suet pie with triple cooked chips, accompanied by gravy and vegetables, was a hearty masterpiece. Each bite was filled with rich, comforting flavors that left me wanting more. And let's not forget the grand finale - the banoffee pie dessert was a divine indulgence that rounded off the meal perfectly. The ambiance of the pub was inviting, with a well-presented interior that exuded charm and character. It provided the ideal backdrop for a memorable dining experience. What's more, the value for money was exceptional, considering the quality and quantity of the food served. In summary, the White Horse Pub in Hawkinge is a must-visit for anyone seeking a combination of top-notch service, delectable food, and cozy ambiance. With Abby's professionalism and Keyleigh's culinary expertise, it's an experience that promises to delight all the senses. Go give them a go, you won’t be disappointed!

The food was amazing, the reason why I give a low star is because after saying to the waitress multiple times that I'm lactose intolerant the chief still put leeks with cream on my plate, this has upset my stomach and made me ill. It is such a shame as the waiting staff were lovely and so was the food.

I cannot speak highly enough of the food and atmosphere at this special pub. Very reasonable prices in these difficult times, an amazingly varied menu with most meals being Gluton Free or Option. We'll be back. Emma the manager deserves special praise for her personal knowledge and experience of Celiac disease and the openness of her experiences.

We went there today for lunch. There was a wake going on and all the people there were happy and friendly. They appeared to have a buffet and the food looked excellent. As it was 'fish Friday' we had scampi and chips which was faultless. Clare the landlady was serving at the tables and Lee was behind the bar. Whilst busy, the service was prompt and faultless. Dog friendly too. Brilliant!

Very disappointed. Ham and eggs was tasteless supermarket ham. Caramelised onions more like burnt with steak that didn’t fill the bloomer bread. Frozen chips. Only salad cream on offer for the side salad. For a place that broadcasts its new food menu. Not worth the detour.

As soon as you walk in you feel really welcome. The interior design is very cosy. I only planned on having a light meal and went for loaded fries. My family went with hunters chicken. The quality and quantity of the meals were absolute value for money huge portions and so delicious.we then had the cherry and apple crumble which was amazing. We did have a minor hiccup but this did not change our opinion of the service and quality. The staff were extremely helpful and caring. I would definitely recommend and I will definitely come again. My grandfather really enjoyed the Spitfire ale.

We booked a table for nine to enjoy a roast dinner after being at the crematorium. On arrival our drinks order was taken and we enjoyed a short wait outside in the sunshine whilst waiting for our table to be ready. Once our table was prepared we were called in and our starter and mains orders were taken. The starters came out in good time and were enjoyed by everyone. After a short wait the roasts were brought out and sadly they were not enjoyed by all. The potatoes, parsnips, stuffing and carrots were burnt. The meat however was lovely. We had one person that didn’t eat roast and was offered something from the children’s menu which they would do as a large meal. This person chose cheeseburger. When it arrived we were very disappointed to find this was also burnt/cremated! We called the waitress over and she was lovely!! Very apologetic and quickly got this changed. However, the second burger didn’t look very appetising, it seemed they were this time too scared they may burn it so didn’t leave it to cook long enough. We also made her aware of the issues with the roasts and she did offer to sort this but we said no due to the hassles of sending all foods back and hanging about even longer when many of us didn’t have the time. All in all a very disappointing meal!! When the bill was brought out the waitress had taken off the price of a full roast and the childs menu meal. We payed, not wanting to complain further as some members of the party already felt uncomfortable enough. A £10 tip was given to the waitress and we only hope that was able to go straight in her pocket as she was very good at her job and we hope we didn’t make her feel uncomfortable in any way as none of it was her fault. So the two stars are for this establishment but I would give the waitress 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Popped in on a stormy autumn day to find the pub fairly lively with a fair few diners Limited lunchtime menu but what they do , they do well . A few portions on the smaller side for our appetites but staff charming and service slow but understandable as the food is clearly cooked fresh to order . Will certainly return when they have a full menu

I went to the White Horse pub with my two adult son's for a 'Boys own' dinner I have been there a few times and always found the food very good. I usually go there with about 10 or 12 of our residents group from the local retirement community within walking distance on an irregular basis. Today was very different. We ordered some drinks and a bottle of wine from the young but very helpful waitress and after a while ordered our meals. Three steaks please, two without mushrooms and one without tomato's (mine) After a while the meals arrived and as I lifted the steak I saw the small group of tomato's on my plate. I spoke the the waitress and explained that I was allergic to tomato's and shouldn't try to eat the meal. The waitress very apologetic took it away and after about 15 minutes a replacement arrived. In the mean time my two son's had finished their meals. We had a beer each as we waited to start, a bottle of wine with the meal and a brandy each after the meal. A very apologetic waitress, but when I spoke to the owner about the meal I was told 'you had a replacement, what more do you want' in a strong voice. - I paid up and left. Promising never to go back and as Secretary of our 100+ residents group I will strongly advise our group to avoid the pub in the future.

We arrived, a table of 9 at 12.30 as booked, had to wait a while for our food orders to be taken. Starters came out in good time, then we waited. At 2pm I asked where our meals were. if they didn't come out shortly we would be leaving. No drink service at our table.I felt really sorry for our waitress who was very apologetic for the delay. People had come in after us, had 3 courses and paid their bill and left. We left at about 3.30 after I had had a word with the assistant manager who again was apologetic and said she was unaware of the issues. ( Which I later discovered was not true as she was watching all the time from the window in the door) The food was of a reasonable standard. I did insist on a reduction on our bill which was minimal. A shame really as the pub was not busy, so it would seem that if you have more than 4 in your group don't expect to be served in good time.

The food was good pub food ( we had a fussy eater with us ) but saying that the food was tasty and presented well, plates hot and we all decided we would certainly book again. We had lots to talk about and we were in no hurry but the service could gave been a bit quicker Probably best to book
