Have occasionally come with the family to the White Horse for lunch when visiting my Mum. This time it was just myself and Mum for Mothers day. We both chose options from the specials menu and then had a dessert and both enjoyed our meal very much. Only thing we could criticise is the loos which could be better and less smelly.

We have just held our charity Ladies Lunch for 98 ladies at the White Horse and everything was outstanding! The food service was prompt, well organised and food came out piping hot. All of the meals were lovely and we have had no negative feedback whatsoever. The staff couldn't have been any more helpful both before, during and after the event, everything we requested was carried out. The whole team were a pleasure to work with and we very much look forward to hosting our next event there. Highly reccommend!

I booked for a table of 12 for a 60th birthday party. The staff allowed us to decorate the area and have our own cake. All the staff were super helpful and attentive. The food was the best we have had here and for saying there were 12 of us there wasn’t one complaint about the food at all, which with 4 children eating is a big feat!! We had a lovely visit and will definitely be returning.

We had a fantastic meal at the White Horse in Broughton Astley on Sunday 8 December. We were a party of 15 with elderly and diners with dementia. I booked in person with Andrea the Manager and explained that we had some people with us who ate very small amounts due to their health and some diners were with mobility equipment and she went out of her to accommodate us with small plates and a seating area that was suitable for our party. On arrival we were met by Tina who showed us to our seats and Amy one of the serving team came to take our drinks order. Throughout the meal Amy, Rachel and Katie were fantastic at looking after us. The meal itself was the Christmas menu. Everyone enjoyed the soup, pate and prawn cocktail served with delicious toasted breads.(Prawns were big and juicy) most of our party had the turkey. The turkey was a very generous portion that melted in the mouth. It was accompanied by a large carrot, parsnip, Brussel sprouts, broccoli, mash, roast potatoes, red cabbage and a stuffing ball and a sausage wrapped in bacon. Fantastic selection I thought for the money we paid and I have ate alot of Christmas dinners at expensive restaurants and hotels over the years. The meal was excellent, well presented and tasty. Not one complaint. We opted for Christmas puddings, lemon tarts and sticky toffee puddings for desserts and coffee for after. The White Horse team looked after us very well. Five star service, from a happy team who are just trying to do their best. Well done White Horse we will definately be back

We held our charity Ladies Festive Lunch at the White Horse this week for 120 ladies and everything was absolutely outstanding. We have used other venues in the past, but all the ladies that I spoke to said that this was by far the best. We had a 2 course lunch and the service, food and staff were all brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble. Also dealing with the pub beforehand to organise the event was easy, and again, nothing was too much trouble for them. As a result I have chosen to hold our neighbours Christmas meal at the white horse for 26 people and will be booking our spring charity ladies lunch there for 120 ladies. I can thoroughly recommend the white horse!

We attended an organised charity lunch at the White Horse yesterday 19/11/24. The event was for 120 people and I have to say I was very impressed the Christmas lunch was lovely and hot and the crumble and custard was delicious. The staff were great and the venue perfect for the event. It is difficult to cater to that many people at once but it was a great lunch!

Lovely pub, great food, good value for money. Really good with allergies, my daughter has an egg allergy and they double checked everything, even brought the chef out to check everything. Assured all would be kept separate when cooking too. Amazing! So reassuring when it's usually pretty stressful eating out.

Quite empty when we arrived, food had to be ordered at bar and took ages to come out. Worst we’ve had in a long time, fish was huge but consisted mainly of batter with a tiny piece of fish in the middle, very dry and over cooked. ‘Salt and chilli chicken kebab on flat bread’ A few very small ‘scraps’ of chicken, under cooked and had been nowhere near a kebab skewer ! Served with a pile of cold fries. McDonald’s would probably be more edible than this. Even with 30% off this food was a joke. Definitely wouldn’t recommend you waste your money.

Tables left dirty. Asked for table to be cleaned but had to ask second time as waitress forgot. Opportunity and time was there for the waitress to clear and clean the other tables, but they were left. Another couple had to request their table to be cleaned not long after. Meals arrived, no napkins and had to ask for sauces. Generally, the restaurant looked dirty and scruffy and the service was not good. This place used to be much better and with some care and attention, could be again. Moved outdoors to the seating area, this too was untidy. Sorry for the bad review but hopefully honest feedback can help improvements as food was ok.

Went there today and sat down. Their online ordering service wasn't working. So then we walked over to the counter to order only to be told they aren't doing any food except for a special pizza menu that they provide only on asking. Even then they didn't half ingredients for the pizzas. We placed the orders and were told 5 mins but got 4/5 pizzas after 25 mins and the 5th one after close to 45 mins. Taste was subpar as well.

My personal experience was very disappointing. Toilets out of order….used the alternative one at the other end of the pub…no handwashing…no paper towel….hand dryer not working…broken lock on toilet door…broken tiles. Not dirty….just not up to standards folk are right to expect. Asked for a tia Maria coffee….young barman clearly bemused….presents me with a coffee with no cream? When I said where’s the cream he asked a barmaid….she pointed him to a fridge….he put his hand in and took something out and disappeared into the kitchen….came back with it topped with squirty cream!! Double cream is what is required. For £6.35 I felt robbed. To top it off the card machine wouldn’t work…after three tries I paid in cash. I think some serious management and investment is required here. Such a shame as I’m sure it is a fabulous building and well patronised. Please invest in a bit of training….the staff are all pleasant, I’m not moaning about them.

Nice pub, friendly staff, okay service, dog friendly, but... We used to eat here regularly, but got fed up with having to return food that was not hot, orders that weren't correct, dough balls that were raw dough etc. Their pizzas used to be great, but paying 75p for about 5p worth of extra topping is very poor. I had Scampi recently and there were about 20 chips on the plate and probably a dessert spoon (10ml) of peas. In addition, the dish of tartare sauce (which I don't like) looked like it had been dropped and picked up from the floor We visit another Marston's pub 15 minutes away, that has the same menu as TWH,and I can't fault the food or service, so don't understand why our experiences here can't be the same.

Wife & I decided to give the breakfast a try as we've always heard good things. That was far from our experience, booked for 10AM, upon arrival they seated us next to a large and loud table when there was plenty of space elsewhere that was quieter for the two of us. We did ask to be moved straight away but that was just common sense really. Onto the food; There wasn't much selection from the continental breakfast, the toaster barely worked and there were no plates, juices were practically empty and were not the best. After a period of waiting, the waitress came and took our cooked breakfast order, after 5 minutes it arrived which we thought was very fast. Food was luke warm if that and not the greatest. Appeared very short staffed considering and was not once approached during to ask how everything was. We soon ate what we could to atleast benefit from it and left, very disappointed in the offering and definitely won't be returning anytime soon, previous evening meal experiences have been good however.

Although based in a service area with a fuel station, Macdonald's and M&S express I didn't find it to be noisy. There was plenty of free parking, you have to put your car details in a tablet to get the free parking for your stay. Upon arrival at reception there was someone checking in so I had to wait, not an issue, however the person checking people in seemed to have left their welcoming personality at home. Not a good first impression. When it was my turn, there was no welcoming smile just a "robot" taking details, confirming name and how long I was staying then getting you to write your nationality, car reg and a signature on what I think was something similar to a till receipt before passing you the key card to your room and telling you which way to go, "through the door and upstairs" in my case. Going through the said door and up the stairs, potential to be noisy when people have elephant feet, and through another door which takes you to the corridor of rooms. The door banged shut behind me, no slow closer on that then, another potentially noise issue for those unfortunate enough to have a room close by which was actually me! So I had the joy of listening to that banging closed every time someone went through it, no one's fault but the hotels, for not having a slow closer on it. The room was a regular Premier inn room, clean and tidy. I put the TV on in the evening and the top channel was "Babe station", this leaves me wondering what the hotel is actually used for apart from people travelling, not a nice thought, I then had to scroll through all the channels to find what I wanted to watch. Nothing is in numerical order as you would expect channels to be it seemed to start in the middle. I did however enjoy a lovely shower and a great night's sleep after everyone had stopped going through the door at the top of the stairs. As I was leaving the next morning the receptionist was a different person who had brought their welcoming personality to work with them, so it was different than when I arrived. I didn't use the restaurant next door so I can't comment on that. Would I stay there again, if it was the cheapest option in the area.
