White Horse Inn in West Dorset

We found this pub online when searching for Sunday lunch. Everywhere else seemed booked up so I wasn't expecting much to be honest - how wrong I was! It's a bit out the way but well worth making the effort. The staff were very friendly on arrival and had reserved us a table and set it up ready. It was busy at the bar with locals and there were a few other couples, with their dogs, eating. I was pleased to see a nut roast on the menu, advertised as 'deluxe nut roast' so went for that, my husband had roast pork. To be fair, the food did take a while to come, however it said at the bottom of the menu -'we dont serve fast food' and when it arrived, it tasted freshly cooked and was well worth the wait! The portions were huge. My husband had five decent slices of pork loin and I had an individual nut roast. With it, we had roast potatoes and two Yorkshire puddings. In separate dishes came carrots, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower cheese and carrot and celeriac mash - delicious. My husband had a piece of crackling and some apple sauce and we both had a jug of gravy. The nut roast was packed with cranberries, mushrooms and seeds as well as nuts and rice. We have big appetites and were disappointed that we had to leave some of the veg as we were full. The bill with four soft drinks was £40! Fabulous value. We highly recommend for Sunday lunch and will definitely eat here again on our next visit to the area.

Fantastic Sunday lunch, great portions and they went out of their way to cater for our dietary requirements. The Dorset apple cake was the best ever! Lovely atmosphere, staff and landlady. The pub is in a very pretty and picturesque setting, within a beautiful village. We also visited on fish n chips night too, which was also excellent.

Really lovely Pub we’re staying at Litton Lakes and it’s a quick 5 minute walk. Called up last minute and they squeezed us in despite being quite busy. Staff were so friendly and lovely, the food was delicious and well presented our steaks were cooked to perfection My son enjoyed their epic White Horse burger and my daughter really enjoyed her kids burger the portions were all generous and good quality. We only live over in Lyme Regis so will definitely be back as it’s such a nice pub and excellent value for money.

Amazing Sunday Roast - very generous portions, lots of meat and roast potatoes, two large Yorkshire puddings and lovely veg including very cheesy cauliflower cheese. Very good value for money as well - we paid £15 each for this huge roast dinner. Good choice of real ales and ciders and well.

We hadn’t booked but had walked across the fields from Puncknowle. There was a themed night and they were fully booked but they squeezed us in!! Food was excellent, the staff were lovely and very accommodating. Really nice pub, exceptionally friendly.

Lovely pub, really helpful, friendly staff and great food. We stayed the night in our campervan in their car park too, which they were kind enough to do without charge as we were eating there too. Great place, highly recommended!

Sunday lunch - the best for miles just love it . Super hosts as well . Lovely local country pub with great atmosphere . Thank you . Could not photo the super veg selection. Best cauliflower cheese made with the local open air dairy cheddar

We enjoyed a Roast Beef Sunday lunch at the White Horse Inn. It was utterly delicious, we both cleared our plates. It's such a lovely pub with a great local atmosphere, we are just visiting the area for a short break, but we never felt like we were not welcome.. This was our second visit for food, we came back as the Friday night fish, and chips were so good. So much gluten free options are also available.

Friday night, best fish and chips ever. Really, they were fantastic, not oily, perfect. Good local pub atmosphere here.

Another faultless Sunday lunch, everything was perfect. And a great live band to boot, what else would you want on a Sunday afternoon.

Absolutely amazing meal and fantastic service too go with it, will definitely be visiting this hidden gem again

What a great find! Lovely local pub with lovely local people, great staff and delicious food. I’d 100% recommend coming here for food or drinks (or both).

We have had two holidays local to the pub and have enjoyed many meals there. In fact the pub is one of the big draws to return next year. The food is excellent and plentiful and not overpriced. Liz and Andy and their staff couldn't be more helpful or friendly. The locals too are very friendly. We can't wait for our visits next year

Fantastic friendly service with an atmosphere that is welcoming and relaxed. We also went for Sunday lunch and was spoilt with the great quality and portions. Congratulations Andy, Liz and team we will be back!

Staying nearby booked in for Sunday lunch - thankfully we did as fully booked on the day. What an enjoyable experience from the staff through to a fantastic Sunday lunch home cooked food at its very best. Shame we could manage a desert next time for the Dorset apple cake.

From beginning to end the complete visit was first class local ciders and beers and the food was first class, paella was delicious and my wife had the Thai curry also delicious they have a good choice for kids too, the kids had burgers and ice cream. I would highly recommend to anyone

We enjoyed a beer in the beer garden before our meal. The friendly bar staff let us try the different beers before deciding. The children enjoyed paddling in the stream that runs beside the pub. We had a very good, well cooked evening meal. Good sized portions. My children never usually finish a meal, but here they did. Their portions were a good size. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Very tasty food.

Pub smells bad and food was really overcooked. The bar staff were rude and when I asked how much longer the food was going to be after nearly an hour I was told about another 10 minutes! She said they serve the tables that have been booked first and they only have a small kitchen and are understaffed due to covid !!! Never again !!!!!

Last night of our holiday and went for evening meal. Good atmosphere and very welcoming staff. 3 of our party ordered gammon which was overcooked but all other meals were good and good value for money. The staff responded very well to our disappointment with the gammon meals and didn’t charge for them and were very accommodating and apologetic. One of our party left an item of clothing behind and one-off the staff brought it back to our holiday home before we’d even noticed it was missing. Excellent customer service all round. Well done.

We were staying in the village and went for an evening meal. We had a lovely warm friendly welcome and great service. The food is home cooked and delicious and came out piping hot. Would definitely recommend this pub it is good value for money...

Absolutely delicious home cooked roast pork and puds to follow. Warm welcome and excellent service. Certainly wouldn’t need to look further afield for food or drinks if you’re staying in the vicinity. Perfect cosy country pub indeed.

This is very welcoming pub in a peaceful part of the west Dorset countryside with friendly and efficient staff.

We were welcomed with great courtesy by the hospitable staff and this ensued throughout lunch. Our party decided to choose the Red Thai Curry, which we all enjoyed; as it was accompanied by wild rice, poppadoms and mango chutney. It was beautifully presented and made...

We came across this gorgeous little pub purely be accident this lunch time and so glad we did. We’ve been in Somerset for 4 days now and have been hoping to find an old fashioned English pub and this was exactly that. Friendly staff, great...

Absolutely fantastic food and really friendly pub would highly recommend a visit if in the area 5 star service

First time at the white horse and it will certainly not be my last. Great service, the staff were friendly and made you feel welcome. We opted for the Sunday roast which was delicious and well worth the money. The afternoon live music was an...

Googled pubs near Litton Lakes as was staying there overnight and as solo decided on a takeaway, phoned before hand to order also asked for either peas or a side salad told its a menu meal not a take away night, but agreed to box...

Such a friendly welcome; a great idea to offer ‘retro’ meals in a basket to go with a pint. We don’t always need ‘gastro’! Great spot for a countryside walk close to the sea but not ‘seaside prices’.

It felt safe, homely with a great ambience. Terrific food as usual a limited menu which covered all bases and so understandable at the moment. Well done and thank you for a great Sunday lunch. Love the fact it is cooked fresh and arrives hot...

what an absolutely wonderful pub stopover. a lovely curry at a good price in the pub which had helpful and friendly bar staff, followed by a wonderful peaceful nights sleep. Bonus of EHU , toilet and shower. It cost a £5 donation for the EHU...

We called in on Sunday to give the place a try. We sat indoors as we dislike wasps. No pub grub on offer but there was a BBQ option of meat or vege burgers in the garden. Lovely burger and chips. Sanitizer and loo hand...

Fantastic traditional pub that really stands above the rest. We stopped by for their fish and chips night with the children and not only did we have the best fish and chips I can remember in my adult life but there was a charming atmosphere,...

Great that the pub is out of lockdown and serving excellent food and drinks in the most welcoming manner

Best Sunday lunch I’ve had for ages, great roasties and Yorkshire puddings, lovely selection of vegetables and even better could have my beef rare (option for well done too if required). My husband and friends had turkey and they enjoyed it too. Will definitely return,...

2nd visit, my husband and I and our dog. Made to feel extremely welcome, very busy after a while with lots of friendly locals - food fab just as before

Highly recommend the chilli with locally sourced beef; very tasty - option of with Rice as a main or nachos for a smaller meal! Great for kids too. All meals were perfect and of a better standard than the usual pub grub. Will be back!

Amazingly accommodating owners - thank you for having us. Great food, drinks and lovely people. Thanks guys!

Popped in for an excellent Sunday roast. Lovely selection of perfectly cooked vegetables, home made Yorkshires and great roast spuds.Lovely atmosphere, enhanced by a log fire. Very friendly service from efficient staff.Lovely little country pub.Beer good too !We will return, and would certainly recommend.

new people have taken over this pub.Beer is well kept and the food is good on quality and value.The steak i had was a tad over cooked on the outside ie well grilled and a bit to black. However the overall taste was great. i liked the skin on chips as well.

This village pub has excellent "pub grub" and a substantial menu for those wanting a "main meal". We go there for lunch as we live close by and we usually have something from the lighter menu's. Portions are very generous forcing us to leave some on the plate, not because the food was not good but because we did not have enough room for all of it!

Recently went to try as understood under new management.Warm reception. Good choice on menu. I had 'house' burger.When finished there was some left and they were genuinely concerned that I had not enjoyed it. Explained it was great but could not finish.I requested 'doggy bag' which was duly sorted.Good evening thanks.PS No dog got a look in on this. It was for me!!R1

Just eaten at the White Horse , fabulous curry and macaroni cheese. Rosie our little jack Russell enjoyed the biscuits provided. A fab pub in a lovely setting x

We visited this pub for the first time since the new landlord recently took over and were greatly impressed. A pleasant welcome and excellent Palmers beers but above all superb food. Served expeditiously by a cheery waitress our portions were generous and very tasty.The dining area is quite compact to it's advisable to book as it's a popular pub and eatery. Will definitely be back, thoroughly recommended.

Best pub food I have ever had. 10/10. We visited pub during the day and came back for a wonderful meal. All happy.

Excellent food and a warm atmosphere. Family run pub so really friendly staff who are passionate about their business. The food was excellent with good sized portions and definitely worth more than the price. I would definitely recommend d this pub.

We regularly visit this area and love the locality and often walk to this pub when staying nearby. We always receive a warm welcome & enjoyed a fantastic meal there with our 2 young daughters. My husband and I chose the beef & ale pie which was served with runner beans, cauliflower cheese & swede & carrot mash & chips. The food was AMAZING, simple well made with quality produce & we thoroughly enjoyed it. The kids menu is varied & our daughters also enjoyed their meals. The only downside was that we didn't have room for a pudding but the dessert menu looked great. We will be back the next time we visit the area. Keep up the excellent work.

If you like micro salads and fancy reductions then this is not the place for you. The food is hearty and delicious, served attractively and with plenty of fresh vegetables. We'd definitely eat there again. We chose slow roast pork belly, and steak and ale pie, about £14 each (2019 prices).

We visited this pub on a Friday evening and sat in the garden. The food was really tasty but what I was even more impressed with was the wonderful, friendly service from everyone we came into contact with. Definitely worth a visit!

Really nice pub, with a great atmosphere. Reasonably priced great quality meals too. Highly recommended.

Have visited the White Horse a couple of times, and had an excellent time. Very professional staff, for whom nothing was too much trouble. Their burger meal was a good choice, and apparently Sunday roast is a must. We will be back for that soon.

Called on Tuesday evening for a meal but there was no food available so unfortunately cannot rate! All very annoying and inconvenient. Went on to the nearby Crown where we had a nice meal with good service.

Called in for Sunday lunch and enjoyed a lovely welcome and wonderful roast dinner, beef was perfectly cooked and served with epic Yorkshire puddings. Will definitely be back.

We spent the evening there a few nights ago and had a great time. The family who runs it were welcoming and friendly and the food was fantastic. Also, beer. :)

Only word of warning, down a very steep hill, certainly tested the brakes!

Went in here on our first night in the area, we both had omelette, chips & salad. We had quite a wait for the food but it was worth it, lovely tasty omelette & loads of chips. 2 meals for less than £20 what a bargain, beer & staff very good as well. Thank you

Had a weekend at an incredible house and The White Horse was the nearest pub. We loved it! Good village vibe where the locals seem to pick up their prescriptions too! Just how pubs used to before the dull big chains set in. If you don't like dogs don't come here! There were more dogs to customers when we were there but, as a dog lover, it was brilliant.

Popped in for a few drinks with friends on a doggie holiday. Was made to feel most welcome. Eers good and wine lovely and cold.Landlord extremely friendly ... even lending us beer glasses as our accomadation didn't have any. Would definately recommend

This is not some metropolitan gastropub. If youre a vegan, think baked potato and beans.

A wonderful pub, amazing landlord and landlady. Made us super welcome. Food is good honest pub food. Well cooked and presented. I wish I lived local as this would definitely be my local pub. As it is, we're on holiday. But we were made to feel like we were locals. Thank you so much and for being so flexible for our children. We will revisit before we head home.

We are staying a few miles away in Portesham and have been exploring the area for the last 7 days, finding interesting pubs with good food at affordable prices. The White Horse Inn is off the main track and driving through the lovely countryside to get there is pure enjoyment. The pub has a lovely feel inside with its wooden bar, memorabilia and simple tables and chairs. The menu is small with the usual classics. Food came in quickly in generous portions and it was tasty. The pub was busy with mainly locals having a drink and a chat with a friendly owner. Definitely recommended for the drive to get there (coastal or inland) and the experience of traditional pub food and atmosphere.

Visited Dorset to attend our friends wedding in Lyme Regis but stayed at tithe barns and found this great true English country pub nearby, and was made to feel really welcome by the landlord and landlady , a lovely couple who also attended the same wedding we did , hence why no food on Saturday the5th August as the landlady is the chef too and cooks lovely food,and the no sign up saying no food was just an oversight on there part I’m sure, also a great selection of real ales and gins too will definitely return to this lovely area and great pub

Called in on a Saturday evening in peak holiday season for a meal but were told there was no food! Something to do with a wedding reception. No notice outside, nothing on the website. Very disappointed. Went to the nearby Crown in Puncknowle where we had a warm welcome and a lovely meal. I know where I'll go in future!

Staying at the Tithe Barn so within easy walking distance. Very welcoming and food great. There was 16 of us and they managed without any issues. We even had a go at the skittle’s which was great fun.

We were staying in the YHA which is next door so was the obvious place to pop in for a beer and something to eat. It seemed to be in the middle of nowhere but that did not stop a good stream of locals stopping by. We booked a table and good job as they were pretty much full. Beer was well kept, good range. The welcome was genuinely warm. The food we expected to be standard pub fare but it exceeded that, it was really good, homemade, generous portions. Would we go back if staying at the YHA ? yes. Would we go out of our way to visit? Yes again. 100% recommended.

Myself and 8 friends were on a walking holiday last weekend and went for dinner and a few drinks at the White Horse Inn. We were all amazed by how welcoming the owners Peter and Jeamie were and thoroughly enjoyed our Saturday night. The owners were even good enough to open up early Sunday morning to cook us breakfast. We will be returning soon!!

The food service and atmosphere of this pub can not be bettered. Peter and Jamie who run it go out of their way to give you a good night we love this place and go a couple of times every week we holiday in the village.

Overnighted in our motorhome in the pub car park after finding the pub on Pub Stopovers. This was our second visit to the pub because we were so impressed the first time, a couple of months ago. Food is tasty pub fare obviously made using good quality ingredients and made with love. Can't fault the atmospherere and welcome from Peter and Jaemie.

We had been on a short Road trip down to West Bay and had read good reports about this establishment.It seemed to fit the bill perfectly. We would be allowed to park up overnight in our Motorhome, enjoy good food, beer and company and our dog would be welcomed as well. Too good to be true? Not a bit of it!! The White Horse was a great place to stay,the landlord ,his team and the Locals made us very welcome,the food was very good and reasonably priced.The Ale is Palmers,a local brew from Bridport,well kept and very good.If you are in the area,give it a try,a great change from the corporate pubs.

Staying in the area, went for a meal with the family. Food was excellent staff welcoming. Would return.

We had a lovely stopover at The White Horse! Great hospitality, lovely food (loads of veggie options) and welcoming locals. Will definitely be back. Found out about them on a campervan stopover site and were able to park up for the night in return for buying a meal and a few drinks. Perfect!

visited tue evening, sadly we had missed food orders (finish at 8.30PM) we went back weds eve as we liked the menu ( we dont do posh and pretentious, just good honest pub grub) and we were not disapointed, a wonderfully cooked to perfection steak, and lovely puds, very welcoming landlord and lady.

Went for an evening meal with the family while on holiday. The staff were great, lovely surroundings and the food was excellent. Would definitely return.

Visitamos el White Horse en varias ocasiones durante unas vacaciones familiares en Litton Cheney. El propietario fue muy amable y nos hizo sentir muy bienvenidos a pesar de no ser locales, y era muy servicial cuando le pedimos si podíamos usar el tablero. La comida era deliciosa en cada ocasión (recomiendo la hamburguesa en particular). En general, es un fantástico pub y sin duda volveremos cuando estemos en la zona de al lado.

El pub parece bastante hermoso y perfecto césped con bancos y miradores y encantador arroyo.

Muy buen almuerzo, generosas porciones y recién preparado. Personal encantador y amable. Bonitos jardines con arroyo a lo largo de lado.

Paseo en Bicicleta el domingo de Pascua a lo largo de Novia Valle - que están haciendo pub listo para evento del año: el pato de las carreras. Pero todavía nos dio una muy aceptable de cerdo asado de almuerzo (la salsa era un poco sintética! ) ¡volveremos!

10 of us were staying in a local house for a long weekend and we spent our first evening at the white Horse. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and were looked after very well by the hosts. We all played skittles which was great fun, then we had a lovely meal which was very good quality pub grub. We were then allowed to take over the music system and had a good old sing song. We would definitely recommend this pub and their fantastic hospitality.

Done a spot of camping in the area and stayed here for the night. Staff were very helpul and friendly. A good selection of cask ales at a reasonable price. Pub is very family friendly. If im in the area again i would certainly pop in again.

Went here on a Saturday night a couple of weeks ago whilst on a family weekend away. Menu had changed slightly since our last visit think there are new owners. The food is of a good standard had broccoli and Stilton soup to start which was very tasty. Had a steak for main which was well cooked and tasty. The other members of our party had lamb chops and fish and said it was really tasty. The only downside was the lack of atmosphere in the pub we ate at 8pm on a Saturday night and there were only 4 other people dining and 2 people in the bar leaving the atmosphere a bit flat. The pub is lovely and in a great setting would defiantly return!

I called there for a drink yesterday lunch time, having visited on many occasions over the years. It's a great pub, in a lovely village (Litton Cheney). Idyllic tranquil setting with well tended gardens, by a fast flowing stream. Although I didn't eat on this visit, the food is great and good value, with an extensive menu. The atmosphere is very friendly and welcoming. It's really worth a visit.

What a find, just a mile off the A35 in a tranquil spot by a stream. Friendly welcome, delicious homemade scotch eggs, great beer & a lovely sunny garden. Perfect for breaking the journey to Devon.

We visited as we had holidayed in the village a few years ago, when the previous landlady had been in situ and the food exceptional. The ale is still good, it's great to see so many locals in the bar, but I would go somewhere else for food in future. There was nothing wrong with it, just not very good.

Absolutely brilliant. Food great. Hospitality fantastic. Very dog friendly. Great place for everyone. Soo welcoming.

After reading Jethro's amusing review about Romford accents and coffee machines, it was a foregone conclusion we would have to visit...innit?My husband and I travelled from Devon last night to meet four friends holidaying in Dorset..we also chose this pub as it had parking and garden tables, perfect for our pack of four dogs.Peter was an excellent host...helpful, funny and interested in us, as everyone in hospitality must be, to succeed and thrive.The food was very good, we all had different items from the good menu. Great prices and large portions.We shall certainly return. Businesses such as this unspoilt locall pub, used by locals too, need support.Oh and the coffee? Two fab biscuits and chocolate adorned the saucer. Yum!

This is a traditional English Pub. Which means reasonable welcome, good beer and moderate food. There is a smallish car park .

A real local pub. The owners are very friendly and went far out of their way to help us out throughout our stay at the yha hostel next door.The food was good and good value for money. The pub has WiFi and a dart board and pool table. It has a nice outdoor area.The locals we met were friendly and invited us to join them in a game of darts. If you want to eat there I recommend you call or email to reserve a table as it can get busy for food.

Spent two nights in the village and had such a good time at this pub.The owners are both very friendly and welcoming and the locals were also fabGreat food and on one evening kept the kitchen open a bit later.This is the way local pubs should be. Cosy. Friendly. Chatty. Nice beer garden and nice beer. Hope.to return one day.

We were staying with friends who recently moved to Litton Cheney and they, quite rightly, wanted to show off their lovely friendly new local. Of course in Dorset being a local doesn't mean it's necessarily next door but the walk from their home was a delight and not too far even for my husband who had a full knee replacement in March. We were so lucky to choose a weekend of stupendously good weather so walks back and forth to The White Horse were a delight, that said I could imagine using my head torch in the middle of winter and finding the whole escapade rather an adventure. The land lord, and all the locals could not be more friendly, it has a wonderful feel. More importantly the beer is kept extremely well and even fussy beer drinkers were praising the quality. On the Friday night we arrived a band was preparing for the evening but sadly we didn't have time to stay, I can imagine it would've been a great night. Although a little out of the way I suggest you find every excuse to venture "off piste" and discover this great pub.

Oh dear oh dear, the relatively new manager Peter from East London - innit, thinks that behaving to customers down in Darset in the same way that people are spoken to in darkest Romford is acceptable. While to a certain extent I might sympathise and understand that years on those rough streets might leave some emotional scarring, he should have had time enough in the sleepy Bride Valley to change his approach to certain situations.What a bizarre incident - I asked for a coffee. Before I ordered, I asked the barman how much it would be, to be sure as I only had limited change. He didnt know - which seemed odd. So he asked the manager.£3 was the reply. 'Are you joking?' , I replied. Here we are at a non-posh non-gastro pub in Dorset and you want to charge £3 for a coffee from your little machine.He replied that it wasn't up to him the price, but to the man he he hires the coffee machine from. ?? The man he hires the coffee machine from? What would a pub be hiring a coffee machine for, especially one that would cost not more than a couple hundred £'s to purchase new. I didn't quite get this idea that the man he hires the coffee machine sets the price of the coffee. So i asked again and from his response it was clear that Peter has set the price of £3.I told him its 'taking the pxx'. You cant charge guests £3 for a cup of coffee, (not even pretentious coffee bars in London charge £3 for cup of crappy coffee)because the implication is that many might automatically order a coffee after dinner or lunch completely unaware that it would be £3. its just greedy. its attempting to catch your guests unawares.The pub down the road in Puncnknowle have more of a proper coffee machine and only charge £2.40.(although even that is over the top)The girl at the bar tried to defend Peter's pricing policy by saying Costa Coffee charge £5 for a coffee. 'They don't charge £5 at all for simple cup of coffee'. This made no difference.Peter then tried an analogy by using my bike as an example - asking how much I'd paid for it. I failed to see the relevance - and the his answer was, 'See, you get what you pay for, don't you'.I struggled to see the point he was making.Did he really think his crxxpy little machine used with 'lavazza' (he seemed to think this was some boutique exotic coffee blend - maybe it is in down Dagenham way) would result in the greatest cup of coffee in the South of England.It was impossible to keep a straight face at his attempts to defend his pricing policy (but this just made him angry and aggressive, 'Im not forcing coffee down you mate!!' He snarled with menace. oh dear. The pub went quiet for quite a few minutes as Peter plonked himself down to continue watching the football and forget about the irritating customer winding him up.He then tried to use the argument that I was using the pub wifi for free? Was he meaning the extortionate cost of coffee is to subsidise the pubs wifi? Golly... He didnt agree at all that its ben quite a while since pubs charged for Wi-FI.How is it even a sensible pricing policy - who is actually going to order a coffee for £3. They'll only order one if they don't know the price - which perhaps is Peter's little trick. What do the locals think? Maybe he charges them differently?Its not good Peter. It will leave a bad taste. You need to rethink on this one and your aggressiveness to customers who question your stance on the issue shows that you're not that comfortable with it yourself.....

Stayed at the White Horse for 2 nights in our motorhome en route to Poole for the ferry to Jersey,Peter the landlord welcomed us and said we could stay on the car park for free even had access to shower and toilet 24 hours.Lovely little pub in a delightful village,weather was good and spent all evening out on the lawn getting to know the friendly locals.Good food and beer and very dog friendly, our Rottie Evie was spoilt rotten.Thanks for a lovely weekend.

I visited here whilst staying in the YHA over the road having arrived late after a very long bike ride. The kitchen was about to close but the landlord - Peter - was extremely helpful and took my food order so that I could go and change. I came back and Peter had set a table for me and couldn't have been more helpful. The gurnard and chips were delicious...I only wish I'd left a little room when I noticed the hearty desserts being served up at the table next to me!The locals in the bar were so friendly and welcoming - it felt like a night out with old friends. Just what I needed after a long day on my own.Peter and his wife Jamie have created a really special atmosphere in this place. Thank you so much for making this one of the highlights of my trip. I can't recommend it enough if you're staying locally or passing by on national cycle route 2.I'll definitely be back again!!!

We camped at this pub (which now has camping facilities) and spent a lot of time in the bar too when we weren't exploring the surrounding areas. Food was good and the beer even better. Camping facilities are basic but everything clean and tidy. Good mix of entertainment inc Morris dancers and a live band. Only bad thing was the weather but we soon dried out! Will visit again very soon, thanks White Horse Inn!

We had a meal whilst on holiday and had the warmest of welcomes. We were 9 adults and 3 under 5's plus 4 dogs. We were allocated half of the pub and were able to arrange our tables to suit. The children were given a colouring books and crayons which was very nice. The menu was good and the food very nice and also good value for money. The service was good, really couldn't fault our experience.

Me & my family have visited this pub several times. Our most memorable time being for the Annual rubber duck race in the village. Every time we have visited we have been greeted with a warm, friendly vibe that makes you feel exceptionally welcome.The pub is very cosy and inviting. The food is second to none (10/10 for the roast potatoes!! Well done Jaemie!!)We have enjoyed many a game of skittles (even had the landlords joining in on the shenanigans!!)We enjoyed an amazing Sunday afternoon of fine wine and ales, plenty of laughs, fantastic family bingo and then danced and sang the night away!! What more could you want from a quaint little picturesque village pub!!Keep up the hard work Pete & Jaemie!! We'll definitely be back soon..... (So stock up on the rosè please!!!)

5 of us went for supper. We had a warm welcome. The menu was limited but everything we had was good food and well cooked. The staff were very friendly and the manager even gave us some milk for our tea the next morning as we were staying in the youth hostel next door. We really appreciated that!

Thank you to Peter and team for looking after us so well this weekend. The skittle alley was huge fun, and afterwards the food was efficiently served and very hot and tasty.Also some of our group, who were staying at the YHA hostel next door in Litton Cheney, had a jolly afternoon enjoying the rugby. The rest of our group walked over to Long Bredy to enjoy the lovely countryside of Dorset and the church and ancient tracks.

Fabulous Roast Potatoes. The outside of the building does not do it justice. Inside is a lovely village Pub with friendly staff, great beer and great food.

We Had Steak and Ale pie. Good meat, with lovely fresh vegetables.The Live music was great and such a warm atmosphere

Truly terrible roast. went for a Sunday roast while staying in the excellent youth hostel. All we wanted was an ok meal before we all parted company. It was pretty dreadful. My wife's vegetarian main was ice cold inside. My lamb was average but the vegetables were very very poor. some of the peas were stuck together with ice. When this was pointed out to the waitress she didn't even apologise, just microwaved the plate and brought it back. Roast spuds were poor. The kids meals were also pants.I can only imagine they do not have a chef, just someone muddling through. We were the first to arrive so how they couldn't get ours right I have no idea. We shovelled it in, finished our pints and left- not good.Owner looked pretty hungover (as was I- but I was on a jolly he was at work), and didn't seem proficient at either serving behind the bar or taking orders.Its in a nice location but I cant see it staying open long without drastic improvements in the quality of the food. Shame.

Ordered the beef roast dinner. Only had beef, lamb or vegetarian roast options on the Sunday. When we received our food the beef was so rare that the blood from the meat mixed into the gravy. Broccoli was over cooked, Yorkshire pudding underwhelming and roast potatoes resembling those you'd find on a school dinner plate. The only part of the meal that was edible were the carrots. Ordered chocolate sponge for dessert and I don't think I've ever tasted such a dry sponge. I would not recommend this pub to anyone and I will never go back.
