White Horse in Gloucester - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Sunday roast was perfect, very impressed with the chef. Service very attentive and quick. Definitely recommended.

Hi, we came here for lunch today for (I think for the fifth time - we are fairly local to the area). Initially I was disappointed to see that the previous amazing things like beef ribs were off the menu and that it was a standard bar lunch menu. I completely understand that it is not viable to have your previous lunch menu options these days. But both the steak and ale pie and beef lasagne were absolutely delicious! The pie gravy was exceptional (your chef knows their way around cows - very reminiscent of the gravy with the lovely beef ribs). Excellent, efficient and friendly service too. And I always love your dogs. If anyone is looking for an excellent, tasty lunch, with a warm welcome, this is definitely recommended.

Family of four. We popped in on the way home from FOD on the off chance we could be seated and eat. Staff were very accommodating and found us a table. 4 roast beer dinners that were exceptionally good. The cask ales were also top notch. Staff were especially welcoming and friendly. This is a pub we visited on the off chance but will definitely be coming back and bringing friends. Diolch

Food was amazing lovely friendly staff nice cosy pub

Excellent food and very friendly accommodating service. The cheese board was amazing!

Love this place. The food is knockout, and always on point! Have been coming here for years and can honestly say best pub food I've ever had.

A group of us 10+ stopped for drinks and coffees here last week late morning, we had a warm welcome, quick service and sat on the decking area, lovely relaxing pub with excellent coffees and a decent low 0% alcohol draught beer on tap which my CAMRA member friend was most impressed by. We didn't stop for lunch, but the food looked tasty.

Lovely Pub, stopped here as a group of 7 of us after cycling for the day around the the local area. We hadn't booked ahead as it was a last minute stop but the staff were very welcoming/accommodating for us all, really great food and a lovely garden area/decking area to enjoy a larger in the sun. Will definitely stop back when in the area again. Thanks

Food is amazing, been eating here for the last 5 years since living locally and never disappointed. Staff are friendly and attentive and the atmosphere is warm and relaxed. Highly recommend.

First Take Away Sunday Roast -lovely

Traditional country pub with a warm welcome. I'm a vegetarian so I chose the Celeriac Steak with truffle mash which was delicious!

Very nice meal , good service and a nice pint Thanks

Had lunch there today ...excellent food and service

We ate Sunday lunch here two days ago, absolutely wonderful, we will definitely be eating here again on our next visit, Hayley could not have been more helpful.

My friend, my dog and I had such a fantastic night here last night. The food was excellent, I had the bacon steak and it was delicious, my mate had toad in the hole which she said was great. Fantastic service and my dog had the best night of his life, rolling around with the owners dog. She had such a clear love and understanding of dogs, we were able to really chill knowing the dog was safely running around in the secure garden with his brand new bestie, Monty. Thanks for such a great evening 😊

Great lambs liver and mash. Dogs under the table. Friendly helpful staff.

14 of us Had Easter Sunday lunch here, it was one of the best if not the best roast Dinners we've had out at a restaurant/pub. All the food came out together nice and hot and the roast potatoes were crispy ( rare find) kids portions we very well priced and sized. I would highly recommend

Great venue for good quality food freshly prepared . Owners and staff very helpful and welcoming. We will definitely be returning

We ate here on the evening of the 23rd March. We both ordered the lamb rump with dauphinoise potatoes and roasted vegetables, which was extremely well cooked and seasoned. Compliments to the chef. I had the chocolate brownie and my husband had the mini pavlova for dessert, both were lovely. The team was polite and efficient. Would definitely recommend 👍

Vest meal we have eaten out in a long time. staff are lovely and welcoming. The food was amazing so much so we went for dinner one night and returned for lunch the next day

After a long dog walk we were hoping for somewhere to welcome us and two scruffy dogs. We could not of felt more welcome. The dogs were given treats and given lots of attention. The drinks food service all wonderful. I used to visit the pub with family over 45 years ago. So wonderful to see it still going and beautifully restored and very well presented. Beautiful pub and will be going back for meal sooner than 45 years this time.

This was my mother's favourite restaurant and we went often. Sadly she's no longer with me but I like to think of her here, enjoying great food and being fussed over by the lovely staff who treated her like a friend. This is the best Chinese food I've ever had.

Lovely dog friendly place. Food was superb. Excellent hosting staff made us all feel welcomed. Highly recommended for those who want good food next to a warm fire place.

Had a lovely Sunday roast there, not cheap but very nice

Popped in as part of our holiday to forest of dean. It was an absolute gen if a find. Fantastic food sourced from local area and businesses lovely atmosphere and friendly dog. If in the area would recommend to visit.

Another fantastic meal at the White Horse Inn. Haley and the team do absolutely brilliant. We have been to this place on many occasions for special anniversaries birthdays and some times just to have a superb meal. Faultless every single time. We've never heard anyone have a bad meal here. Amazing

First time going here. I was dubious when I arrived as in the dark it appears to be in the middle of nowhere, but received a friendly welcome. Staff were welcoming and so helpful and the food was amazing. Definitely returning soon and will encourage others. The food itself was flavoursome, not greasy and plentiful in it's quantity.

The food was delicious, plenty of choice & served really quick considering they were very busy. Friendly staff & nice atmosphere. Definitely worth a revisit.

Fabulous Fish and Chips best I've had in years. I don't know how much was spent It was a treat. So when I put £100 it was worth it.

Recently moved to the forest, the White Horse recommended by new hairdresser. What a recommendation it was. Ambience of a true Forest pub/restaurant. Lovely people, staff excellent, lovely resident dogs and the food was amazing. Not had lambs liver for some time and it did not disappoint. Wish we could have stayed for sweet but Rugby WC final calling. Will be back very soon.

Lovely Pub with delicious food our Airbnb Host at The House of Bread recommended this place. It was great food and great service !! Thanks 😊

Lovely food, I would really recommend coming here but make sure you book in advance as it can be very busy! We were massively under charged on our bill which we brought to their attention. Guinea Fowl was a winner!

I've not had such tasty food in decades.... Thank you x

We had an amazing dinner on Sunday evening. Had the best roast lamb I've ever had, was unbelievable. The service was brilliant and all staff were really friendly. Would recommend this pub to anyone.

What a lovely pub - we shared starters and they looked and tasted amazing! The staff are super friendly and helpful. Great garden out back and the pub inside had a quirky feel. 100% recommended 👌

Awesome pub, really quirky and staff were so helpful and friendly. Our dog felt right at home. Food was incredible and the overall pub was fantastic indoors and out

Eat here twice this week and so pleased we did superb food. Very friendly service and good beer what more could I ask for. Highly recommended

Lovely little pub. All local ingredients. Pet friendly. Food was great. Boar burgers were epic! Good local ale. Lovely hosts. Brilliant!

Had a short break in the Forest of Dean and was recommended to go to this Inn to eat. Absolutely fantastic food and service. It was so good, we ate there twice on one day. And they are very dog friendly so our dogs were able to roam in their enclosed garden and play with their dogs. I really wish that this was my local!

Fantastic food and our dog Merlin loved meeting his fox red lab doppleganger Monty. Thank you 😀

Lovely food, really welcoming and accommodated us last minute with a small person. The resident dog (an old slow Labrador) was loitering - not menacing at all but if you have allergies or any thoughts on hygiene for a restaurant probably not ideal.

Delicious Sunday lunch for a party of eight.

Friendly staff. The food is lovely and nothing is too much trouble. Would highly recommend

Hidden gem for great pub grub. Lovely garden for sunny days and dog friendly.

We stopped off at the White Horse Inn as we were passing through, so didn't have a reservation. On arrival, we were very happy to be allocated a table, as it looked very busy inside (even at 6pm). We treated ourselves to three courses each, and with every dish that came out, we mmmm'd and ooooh'd throughout as each mouthful was just divine. The Mackerel starter and Lamp Rump mains were stand-out dishes, both flavourful and comparable to much more expensive restaurants we have dined at. The chefs here are truly talented. The waiting staff were all friendly and efficient too, and it was very evident that everyone here works so, so hard. We will definitely be returning when next in the area. One of the best spots for a lunch or dinner for miles around.

As always the meals were perfect, our groups ages ranged from 12 years to 74 years and there was something for everyone, we were well looked after by the staff and nothing was too much trouble, I have eaten here and used the takeaway service on numerous occasions and have never found fault with any of it. Exceptionally highly rated.

Fantastic pub. Beautiful food and very welcoming staff. I would recommend it to anyone. Probably the best food in the Forest of Dean.

Absolutely stunning food and incredibly friendly and efficient service. Would highly recommend! Best meal I’ve had out in a long time!!

Lovely little country pub..amazing food from the starter to the main. All food ingredients are source locally which is reflected in the price you pay for.. the food presentation is five-star restaurant quality. The staff are friendly. It is also dog friendly, so you can bring your doggy along or the option of meeting the lovely doggy, who come say hello. High recommended the white horse 8nn

The waiter's are super nice tortias are lovely

Lovely food and good service. Really enjoyed our visit. Great if next time you can flex to making a coffee liquer when asked by guests rather than being so rigid to menu but thought food and wine were great. Will be back.

The people who run this pub know exactly what they need to do to make it special. The food is always excellent and we have never been disappointed! We will always visit when we are in the area. Really can't fault it 👍

Food was SO good and staff really friendly

Absolutely delicious Sunday lunch. Friendly professional staff. I can highly recommend and I will definitely return again.

Nice place. Was just passing through so didn't eat but food looked good. Will visit again sometime though.

Excellent service and excellent quality food provided by really professional chef. 3rd time visit and always will return when down in the Forest of Dene.

Very nice pub. Good food and helpful staff

Very warm welcome, staff attentive, great food.

Had yet another lovely evening and the meal last-night, always a fun relaxed evening with great food. Thank you all.

Has to be the best Sunday lunch I have had in a long time. The food was amazing. The decor is lovely, feels very homely. The service was fantastic. Cant fault the food or service one bit. The only thing that was annoying was that the carpark had cars parked in it of people that were not even visiting the pub, they were going off cycling/walking. So people visiting had to find elsewhere to park on residential streets.

Great little place with a beautiful garden

Amazing food and lovely hosts, beer garden for the dog too :)

Lovely pub, fantastic food and very friendly staff. Honeycomb cheesecake was to die for

Very good food. Friendly service. Bar/restaurant divided with a dog friendly area😃warm welcome 🙏

Eight of us celebrated our grandsons birthday here this evening. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The food is very tasty and freshly cooked, if you wanted more you only had to ask. They catered for the children's wants. It may not be the most swish place but oddly enough we went for the food. You would not be disappointed.

Lovely pub , dog friendly with great staff, but on a Sunday, all of the tables were occupied for lunches

Ohhhh such a nice pub and the foood. Yum, yum. Will absolutely go back if in the area. In fact, wouldn't go anywhere else. Yes the food was that good. Book the table by the fireplace

Great service, excellent food. Lots of drink choice.

Every year we make a visit to the annual coleford classic car show And every year we call in here for dinner and every year it gets better!! Superb food and welcome so much so we have decided to go back just for the food:-)

Great food and good selection of drinks

Came here for Sunday roast, and were blown away by the quality of the food. Everything was perfectly cooked and balanced, and just have to mention probably the best cauliflower cheese we have ever had. Friendly service from the team as well

This is our second visit to White Horse and we were amazed about the look and taste of the food served, they’ve managed to outbest themselves and our second visit was even tastier than the first one. Totally recommend, we’ve tried only Sunday Roasts and Desserts, but it feels like anything they do, it’s going to amaze you!

Very nice welcoming pub, lovely food and drinks along with being dog friendly makes this a must stop on a hike

Just been for lunch for the first time. Really delicious food. Generous portions and all food was fresh, hot (temperature), and very tasty! Excellent service also. Looking forward to going back!

Good soup and bread before a long walk, great find! Very helpful and kind staff.

We only popped in for a drink but we will definitely return to eat here too next time we are in the area. The staff were lovely and very accommodating with our awkward greyhound. The food delivered to other tables looked delicious! The whole place had a really nice vibe about it.

Staff where so lovely, friendly and helpful food was amazing so tasty and hot and fresh was my sister birthday and they brought her out a muffin with a candle and sung happy birthday would definitely come again and recommend all empty plates and bowls

The staff are very friendly and helpful. The food was outstanding, very tasty and fresh. Portions were just the right size meaning you can have several dishes of your choice. I would recommend this restaurant if you enjoy buffet type meals.

Great food, lovely ambience and excellent beers.

Lovely pub with a lovely atmosphere very friendly Dog friendly

Great food and service. To drawer

Probably the best pie I’ve ever had. Book early for Sunday lunch to avoid disappointment.

Excellent Sunday lunch, staff friendly and accommodating to our young friends and their baby twins. Obviously popular with many families. Difficult to find parking space.

Excellent Chinese restaurant. Been coming here for 15 years +. Always fabulous food, so tasty and plentiful. The staff are always so lovely and attentive. The wine list is also great and plenty of beers to choose from and soft drinks are great too. We absolutely love it and our friends love it too.

Superb food, great staff, loads of gluten free options. Fantastic place and good prices too really impressed our favourite place in the forest

Each time we go the meals are excellent and it's very welcoming. Make sure to book as its a busy place especially over the weekend.

Excellent menu choices. Staff were all fabulous!!!

Very poor service don't go in just for a drink as they don't make you very welcome .fish and chips not that great either .very disappointed with a local pub..

Excellent pub! We were staying at Bracelands Campsite and walked here for lunch. Friendly welcome, delicious food (easily the best vegan curry we've ever had in a pub and a delicious tapenade to start), good quality wine for my wife and very reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

2021: Nice food, although expensive, with over the top covid measures, like having to wait outside, almost standing on the road to order. EDIT 2022: Now that covid is over, the pub and restaurant are back to an amazing quality, so I am updating my review to five star

Staff very happy, helpful food was fantastic I had steak and ale pie. Would definitely return to try something else.

Lovely food and beer with great service

The food is just amazing as is the beer and its dog friendly

Top quality…. Starters, mains and deserts absolutely stunning… A very warm welcome by all the staff and the resident dogs… Been going here for many years and will be returning. Keep up the good work…. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Amazing food and drink, quick service. The pink gin and lemonade had fruit inside the ice, a lovely touch.

Have been using the white horse for 13yrs The last few orders have got later and later and food not up to standard of what they used to serve. Tonight order at 5.50 and received at 8.15pm said the car had broken down and had to get food remade which was a blatant lie as it was cold. Rarely get discount which is on offer and certainly never get an apology. I am assuming they have changed hands. Very disappointed and will be looking for a new Chinese restaurant. Poor service and poor food and cold

Absolutely amazing food 😋 and lovely staff will defo be going back 100% xx

Great food and service would have scored higher other than their dogs was allowed to wonder the dining room.

Went for lunch while holidaying in the area. Food was amazing

Delivery - Chicken = not cooked enough = Bland and near raw Rice = not cooked enough = Ask for fried, received brownish boiled Onions & Mushrooms = not cooked enough = Hard Curry sauce had coagulated on arrival. Not as we remembered. Very disappointing.
