White Horse Inn in Dover

Nice surrounding and probably the best fish n chips in town. We went several times and the quality is always there. Recommanded.

Always a treat to visit the White Horse, lovely service, amazing food and a very good selection of drinks - particularly gins! Can't recommend this pub enough.

Love the rude bald man , the mulled wine is excellent , the service was outstanding and the dog is something else

An old historic pub with a limited menu but we couldn't fault the piping hot food. The staff were polite and friendly and we didn't have to wait long before the food arrived. Toilet facilities a bit below par but it is an old building! You can be lucky to get the odd free parking place nearby. A large 'retail' carpark near the pub is free for the first hour and relatively cheap thereafter but you must get a ticket.

My cousin and I visited here last Thursday, early evening. What a lovely time we had. I loved the quirky feel of the pub and it was very interesting to read the history and why the walls appeared so unusual. The team were really friendly and there was a nice buzz about the place. We decided to eat and were certainly not disappointed. A small but good variety on the menu to choose from and great to see local produce used where possible. The food was hot, very tasty and plentiful. It’s possibly the best beef stroganoff I have ever tasted - is chef allowed to share the recipe please? 😊 Thank you for making us feel welcome on our first visit. If we didn’t live nearly 3 hours away, I’m sure we would be visiting more often.

I went to a funeral/ wake . We came to the white horse pub and got told from the workers about coming into the white horse pub previously having to much to drink and advised that not to do again! But I do drink in the white horse and have had no issues with anyone? So on this occasion with a old friend of mine having to go to the funeral and then I went to have a drink for his wake after funeral. And got told not to drink ? I’m confused as a pub is serving drinks? So why say not to drink ! Very confused staff

Loved this place me and my bf had a great time.And we loved the chips peas mmmm. Love going here for some peace and quite

We made a last minute reservation at the White Horse and they were able to accommodate us. Our meal was fantastic and they have the best chips we had during our two week vacation in England!

The menu have us plenty to choose from. My friend and I both had Scampi, chips and all the trimmings and it was perfect. The scampi had a beautiful flavour and the chips were just as they should be. A small side salad accompanied the dish which finished it off nicely. The helpings were generous and we didn’t have to wait long for our meal. We chose gypsy tart for dessert and, again, we couldn’t fault it. The proprietor was very pleasant, as was the young lady who served us. One slight niggle was that some lads at the bar behind us were a little noisy, which meant it was difficult to hear our conversation on occasion, but as the bar is where the tables are, I suppose we must expect that. Anyway, it didn’t spoil our evening to any great extent but would have been better had they not been there. (Without them, the rating would have been 5). That said, we would certainly go back again.

We had lunch to this lovely pub. The food was so fresh, tasty and the quality was excellent. Amazing service, good ambience. We were so glad we found this restaurant.

We had dinner here the night before we cruised to Iceland. The food and atmosphere was amazing! We made reservations and were seated early when we arrived. We are so glad we are here, it was a great way to start our vacation. If we cruise out of Dover again we will definitely go back.

For an authentic British Pub with homemade British fare you must try the White Horse in Dover. It’s a quaint pub with much character. The building dates back to 1365! Dave and Nikki the proprietors, are lovely people. They chatted with us after the meal. Dave is also the chef. For dessert we had Dave’s Gypsy Tart which we understand is an old family secret recipe. It was delicious. For dinner we had the fish and chips which was freshly caught cod from the area. It was the best fish and chips I’ve ever had! My husband has the curried chicken and was great also. There is something for everyone’s dietary preferences. This pub gets an A+ from us.

Absolutely fantastic experience. Pub was heavy with patrons BUT the staff, lady behind the bar(wife of chief), Sam & Harrison weren’t flustered @ provided great service. Pub manager Stuart ran a terrific bar & kept us amused with wit & hood banter that we Ozies understood. Everything GOOD with this Pub, booze, food & companionship fantastic. Plated meals much too large for both of us. Thanks Stuart shame we’ll never get a chance to return.

Great pub with a lovely setting, great menu and choice of drinks. The owners are charming and we had a fantastic time. The ‘rude bald man’ was a delight to talk to!!!

What an amazing pub! We arrived as soon as the dinner rush was starting without a reservation and initially we were told there were no tables for a long while. We sat at the bar and enjoyed some amazing beers and then the bar tender told us she could squeeze us into a table in the back. The building is lovely and situated next to the site of a former church. The interior decor is cozy and full of character. Our server Stewart was hilarious, fast, and made excellent recommendations for food. The fish and chips were superb. Absolutely fresh and perfect. The chicken curry was so delicious and wasn’t too strong. The patio is wonderful to take in sunshine while drinking a beer. We will certainly visit again next time we are in Dover!

Dave the Chef, and Nikki are next level! Nikki served up some amazing drinks, that she crafted as a surprise! Delicious! She is masterful! Dave the Chef is incredible! Dude made gluten free fish and chips on the fly for me and my daughter. Incredible! Everything the rest of the party had was loved! You have to go here if in Dover! Woo!!! Plus I have never been a patron of a place founded in the 1500’s! How cool is that!!! Can’t wait to come back. Thanks White Horse!

Booked meal for 630pm 7.10pm had to ask at bar for someone to take are order 4 adults 1 child Meal arrived 8.00pm... chicken stew came minus the bread had to ask for this Had 2 meals of scampi which was over cooked :( Plates not collected ....again had to go to bar to ask for someone to take our pudding orders ..then when paid the bill again went to the bar was only given £10 instead of the £20 deposit that i paid i was given the £10 when i said about it I have been several times to this pub ...this visit service was very poor ...very young staff on normally middle aged women maybe younger staff not as experienced shame as prior to this vist always had excellent service and great food

Lovely meal tonight. The fish excellent. The staff were friendly and welcoming, nothing was too much trouble. We will be back.

Recommended by a friend. If a cruise ship is in town, call ahead for a reservation. We didn't have a chance to try it.

my meal was lovely but shame how the manager spoke to his staff. The staff were really lovely and polite.

Phoned up to book a Sunday dinner last week, informed that they were fully booked but took the trouble to recommend other establishments and commented that hopefully we will still try them again.

Attractive, iconic, historic, cosy pub with walls adorned with cross-channel swimming exploits. Friendly, welcoming bar staff with excellent, personal attention and table service. But, on its website the pub claims it is ranked #1 on Tripadvisor. It is not. You’d expect the menu prices in...

When traveling solo you don’t need to be there. I reserved a table just for me, and when I arrived I was given an uncomfortable, unstable little round table at the bar where they were taking orders all the time. Anyone who wants to eat...
