White House in Harborough

No San Miguel No turkey at xmas

Estuvimos aquí en Nochevieja. Fue excelente. Reservamos una mesa tenía un tiempo fantástico. Estaba tan bien organizado, a las 11. 50 nos aconsejaron que nos moviéramos a ver la televisión. Tuvimos un tiempo maravilloso.

Food and atmosphere was good but service given was really bad they don’t deal with the customers with politeness when asked they just ignored and started to fight with the customer and made arguments. We just asked for a beer glass they just declined and misbehaved with us.We were a regular customer.They kicked out us and declined the order we made as we were only they customer and they wanted to close the pub early as it wasn’t even 10:15 pm.So i think the employees need to be trained how to make customers happy as customer are source of income source for the business.More training and experienced employees should be heired by the pub to keep their images.

Boxing day morning breakfast treat for myself and my partner and it didn't disappoint. Food was delicious and place was cosy and friendly. Will definitely return soon.

I would like to add some context to the lovely Singhs as I was there tonight and witnessed everything. After receiving their bottle of beer, instead of politely asking someone for a glass or perhaps, going to the bar for one they decided the most logical thing to do was to bang their existing glass in the table like a medieval king or perhaps a child that hasn’t been taught manners. After being politely asked to stop doing that and a new glass being brought over to them, they decided to start yelling and causing a scene. The manager then asked them to leave as the pub was now closed as it was after 11pm - I know this as I had also been asked to leave. They realised they weren’t getting very far with this argument so decided to call him a racist and started being verbally abusive toward staff and customers, as they could not fathom that he and the rest of the staff just did not want to be harassed. Surprisingly they did leave; with much more shouting and then had a photoshoot with the Christmas tree in the car park. It was an odd/ entertaining sight for us spectators however, I imagine stressful for the staff. What a way to ring in the New Year! Some people should stay home if their parents never taught them manners ❤️

Definitely the best spoons in Leicestershire. Nice atmosphere with a fireplace and friendly staff. Never had trouble with parking either.

Ordered a coffee (unlimited refills) and the service was friendly.

Great looking place, staff were very helpfull.

For a quick even meal with the kids, this place is pretty decent.

Cheap and full Less than £2 for refillable coffee

Had a really lovely Christmas meal

Terrible Christmas Dinner unacceptable to serve a plate of disgusting processed meat, sloppy tiny little lumps of Vegetables mainly peas some mash & a stuffing ball Please do not attempt the Christmas Dinner it's awful - they need to improve the dish & I'm sure many will complain Disappointed & disgusting plate of food

We had a Christmas party 🥳, Very nice food & service was great.We had booked a table so no waiting .

Service has improved vastly over the last few months. Always busy.

Always great staff, good food and a great atmosphere

Nice atmosphere and very busy pub. However, the food i had wasn't so great. The patties were without flavor. The servers are ever busy but still stop when you ask questions. For a busy time in the evening, I believe all payment points should have someone and not let people queue up with just 1 or 2 staff to take the orders, when you have 4 ordering and paying points.

Salí con mi esposa y 2 niños para una bebida y comida para los niños sin saber incluso cuando trajimos las bebidas del bar con mi hija a las 9. 30 pm que los niños no están permitidos después de las 10 pm. La persona que me despidió en el bar ni siquiera me dijo que no puedo quedarme con mis hijos después de las 10 pm de lo contrario me habría ido antes. Tan mal servicio y recomiendo totalmente si tienes hijos para ir antes de las 10 pm. Por favor, no cometas el error que cometimos.

Lovely country house feel, with Weatherspoons prices

Wow what a hidden gem in Leicester, great location, excellent staff and menues

Had breakfast at the White House and it was very tasty. I love the way they serve the hot chocolate as a lolly on a stick and then you just add hot milk or water. The breakfast prices are affordable, my only fault is they are very stingy with the beans portion. Other than that I would eat there again.

Love this spoons! There is an area that there that is always nice and quiet. It was busier than usual on the Saturday when we went but generally this is a really nice spoons as they have seating outside too in the summer.

Good value meal, great service, especially given the size of our group. All the food came out hot and at the same time.

Returned to The White house today (October 20) for the third time since the problem that we had with the staff, I feel it's only fair to re- review after a certain amount of time. This is now in the past as I believe the problem has been dealt with and had an excellent meal and service today. As far as I'm concerned this continues to be the best Wetherspoons that I have ever been to. However I will always call out a problem when I see it.

fantastic place, good food cheap good ale

Breakfast great & service 10/10

Always quick service friendly staff nice garden

Fish chips that's not to like lovely place to eat.

Very nice Wetherspoons pub. Good sized car park and pleasant, spacious garden.

Was passing through and needed to get something to eat. The building is massive with plenty of parking. Ordered gammon and chips it didn't take long to arrive the staff were friendly and helpful 👍

I originally reviewed this pub as a 5 star however after a dismal breakfast today I needed to down grade it. Me & my husband ordered shashuka- which was cold when served. I spoke to waitress who apologised & took it back to which it was returned on same plate ( I had cut a piece of egg & left on side as was slimey- I'd asked for well done eggs as can't eat under cooked eggs) decided to raise my concerns with " duty mananger" who stood with his arms crossed & seemed dis-interested in my comments-he also stated that all meals were served on spec. Interesting feedback. The family on the next table also had issue with their breakfast being served cold & informed us as they left they got a full refund- we just wanted a sincere apology... we have been visiting this pub weekly for the last 15 years. We have reported this to head office.

Light and airy, unusual for a Spoons!

Always have a good meal at reasonable price, and enjoy the friendly atmosphere. Thank you to all the staff who do a good job!

Wetherspoons have gone down greatly in quality and quantity of their meals. And prices have steadily risen! The White House is a nice looking building.staff are good. Atmosphere is good always busy! Carpets are a bit sticky.

£1 more for a small breakfast than most other Wetherspoon pubs

Fun family friendly pub we enjoy the food there

This is a lovely old building with a lot of character. Food and drink are normal JD Wetherspoons fayre of course.

Good food and atmosphere, chicken dish very good

I liked it as it was much better than the average Wetherspoons in terms of location and environment. There's a lovely beer garden for warmer days. We had a very lovely time and would definitely visit again with friends.

Both our big breakfast and eggs Benedict came with over cooked eggs. Bread was dry and bacon was like chewing the menu.

Was mediocre, would recommend the pizzas highly enjoyed them, just not the chips and Southern fried chicken strips!

Éramos un grupo de cinco y cuatro de nosotros no habíamos estado antes, pero todos pensamos que era muy bueno y un lugar mejor que la media. El desayuno estaba bien cocinado y servido muy bien y con recargas ilimitadas de bebidas calientes incluido en un precio muy modesto que puedo recomendar encarecidamente.

Así que en la Casa Blanca en scraptoft anoche aparentemente ocupamos demasiado tiempo del personal y había demasiadas "tonterías" que se ordenaban. El personal no pudo hacer frente y nos pidió que nos fuéramos después de que mi otra mitad se defendió diciendo que deberían quitar las ‘cosas tontas’ del menú entonces 🤷 Fue Joel el gerente quien nos pidió que nos fuéramos por las "tonterías" que se ordenaban jajaja Joel si ves esto como una salchicha absoluta

You know what you will get at a Wetherspoons; a good selection of cheap drinks, and pretty decent affordable food. Service is quick too.

The White House is a very nice upmarket wetherspoons in a former country house. There is a wide range of beers lager and cider, including four cask conditioned hand-pulled real ales at very cheap prices. The ones we sampled were in excellent condition. The stakes and burgers were excellent, and the service was quick and friendly. There is outside seating and a large car park. A vista to this great pub is highly recommended.

The exterior is attractive, built from stone street the demolition of a nearby hall. The interior is smart, with some walls panelled, and comfortable seating. There is plenty of outdoor seating too. The food was easy to order and brought to the table promptly. The serve-yourself unlimited coffee was definitely worth going back for a second mug full. Staff were friendly and efficient, including getting a piece of scrap paper for us to write on, when we asked for some. Would definitely recommend breakfast menu, or one of the special day drink+food discounts, and unlimited coffee.

Always a great place to go lovely food and beer garden loads of tables outside

Volví desde entonces para el desayuno tradicional y una barbacoa de panini de pollo en el almuerzo. El desayuno era genial de nuevo caliente y fresco, no me gustó el sabor de las judías horneadas. Panini fue el peor que he tenido así que no volvería a tenerlo. Brownie pequeño y helado era un buen tamaño de porción, sabroso. Tuvimos almuerzo en el jardín, un montón de asientos y sombra disponible.

Excellent pub. Very cheap, service is quick and efficient. Easy access and plenty of car parking spaces

Impressive building with extensive beer garden. The pricing on the APP compared to the menu was really confusing and as I was unable to order on the APP, I had to queue for over 20 minutes at the bar and there were few staff serving so not great. The barmaid tried to explain the difference in pricing on the APP but was really struggling.

I had the Pasta Alfredo which was very disappointing. Presentation was terrible but the taste was worse. I've had better microwave meals from the supermarket. I know this is a basic Weatherspoons and the prices are cheap but this was by far the worst meal I've had whilst eating out.

Very noisy lots of end of the week workers drinking

Really nice building and gardens, good service and friendly staff. The only downside is the rowdy folk you usually find in a Wetherspoons looking for cheap drink.

Great value for money and amazing food and service..

One of the better Wetherspoon's around. Lots of tables and on-app ordering quite quick.

Lovely huge place Sitting outside and inside

Food used to be really good a few years back. I went there with my partner last week. Not great! It's ok for a quick pint.

Great start to an active day didn't need anything else till tea time love the Whitehouse

Went for breakfast at the spoons, this one is a gòd one with great staff who are friendly and efficient. The garden I'd very nice.

Ones of the biggest and nicest beer gardens I've visited.

Food came out cold asked for fresh meal, but all they did was put it in the microwave, shocking

Very good food and drink at a sensible price

Great looking pub... Was very busy.. Got servced quickly... Didn't take long for food to arrive.. Very tasty... Great service.

Food brilliant, large group but all food arrived on time. A good pud. Restaurant. Bar. (give the kids something?) seems as outside is also non smoking. Lol. Always enjoyable. Thank you

No deserts available when we visited

SO CHEAP AND DELICIOUS. THAT'S ALL YOU NEED GO THERE NOW!

Raw chicken served, in front of the manager, who didn't even apologise, let alone offer the meal free !!!!

First time having a meal here Excellent would highly recommend it to people 👍

Nice place to visit with family or friends. Variety of dishes with low prices.

We absolutely love this place. We visited yesterday for a family breakfast. A huge pub with plenty of seating inside or out. We ordered our food and drinks from the app on my phone, which was quick and simple. The drinks were almost immediately brought to our table by a very friendly server. The breakfasts were all excellent and cooked to perfection and all piping hot and the fresh juices we had were all tasty and nicely chilled. This is the only Wetherspoons I have been to that has an open kitchen Which is always nice to see. All the servers are very efficient, polite and all have a nice friendly smile, they all look as though they enjoy working in this great pub. The only gripe we had which is absolutely no reflection on the pub, food or staff was one of the Lavazza hot drinks machines was out of order so there was quite a queue for the other machine. Will we be back ! Most definitely - see you next week.

Food was really good, hot and plenty of it... staff were lovely too Gammon, however, was just slices of bacon and not gammon!

Family get together. Booked table brilliant food was very good and didn't take long to come. Love wetherspoons.

Drove by The White House on our way to somewhere else, I don't remember where, it's not important to be honest. It was somewhere, that's all you need to now really. To be perfectly honest, at 8am on a Sunday morning, it was really rather good. There was virtually nobody else in the place and we had our choice of tables. It was all clean and tidy, smooth, alcohol free tables and comfortable chairs adorned the abysmally patterned carpet. The food delivered to our table by the smiling server were two very tasty traditional breakfasts all cooked almost to perfection. It was a good start to the day and our bacon fix was more than covered. The sausage, eggs, beans and toast finished off the plateful excellently. A couple of coffees set us up for the day in style. Recommended.

Had fish and chips it was the smallest fish I’ve ever seen I wished I had took a picture of it I reported it was told it’s half of what I was told a big fish, im telling you if that was half a big fish they must have cut a smaller one in half had I know it would be so tiny would not have ordered it others had lasagne and salad the lasagne was cold to like warm. I will not be eating there again poor food and luckwarm

Had a great time here, Heidi was especially friendly and even helped me find my missing keys! would deffo come back!

Nice place..quite cheap on drinks

No such things as a que system when waiting to order a drink But it's a decent place over all

Nice breakfast meal at reasonable price, could have been hotter which was disappointing

We visited for my birthday and my sister's birthday. The service was quick and everyone enjoyed the food. I do recommend the fish and chips.

All wetherspoons pub's are great for the beer's. But the food here is shocking 😲. June 14th new burgers. Euro burgers. So we ordered 2. When they turned up. The waitress said the hash brown will be with you soon. Great start. Chips were cold. Burgers were burnt. Unfortunately the hash brown turned up after we'd eaten this rubbish. When you look around the pub. You can see there's not many people eating in there. Not going to bother again. Unlike there's a big improvement. R Thomson

Came here for breakfast, standard spoons menu with excellent prices, had the small American breakfast which was great, free refills - decaf options, mocha was lovely. Everyone really happy with the food. Shame about sticky tables.

Great service staff very friendly and helpful, I would recommend you book a table it gets very busy, We used the App to order food and drinks faster than queuing at the bar to order.

Contradictory to some previous experiences, recent visits have been faultless. Efficient bar service, tables clear/clean of used plates/glasses/cutlery, Good food with a quick turn around, and mostly great hospitality from friendly, welcoming staff. Its always a pleasure to have the opportunity to have a drink and engage with some familiar staff when they are not on shift. Its a shame some of them smiley faces leave but wish you all the best in your future endeavours 😊.

Nice to have fun with friends while drinking . Clean and good environment u feel like u R sitting in theatre . And one more thing washrooms were clean and appropriate it was really fantastic

Massive pub with a good amount of parking and a huge beer garden. Usual decent quality food from a Wetherspoons pub and good selection of beer.

Lovely venue, spot on atmosphere, great food.. Friendly and helpful staff

Very good. Staff great. Free parking. Nice building.

Always busy which proves it's a good spot to eat and drink. Food didn't take long Considering how many people had been seated at tables.

By far the best WS in Leicester. Staff are friendly and helpful with great service. Garden area is big.

As with all weatherspoons the food and drink is always the same ( lovely & value ) this pub is better as it as alot of outside seating in the gardens at the back

Had my mother's 90th party in the annex .the young lady who was serving behind the bar went above and beyond to make our visit special, .I wish more places had team members like her the world would be better.please convey my thank to all staff involved.when I visit Leicester again I will definitely come to this place .

Comfortable, good environment, so relax and side dishes are good.

Looks lovely on the outside. Inside it’s very much a Wetherspoons. Had brunch. Was very tasty. 2 dishes and 2 drinks for £15 is great value.

I pop in here with a mate to see what it like after not going in here for a fair few years now. This now Weatherspoon pub has a lovely atmosphere and a great beer garden.This pub has been a public house and hotel since 1950, when it was bought by the Northampton Brewery Company. Until then, the Georgian-style building had been a private residence, built in 1928 for a Mr TH Crumbie. The stone for the White House came from Normanton Hall, demolished two years earlier. The Hall stood 25 miles away on the southern shore of what is now Rutland Water (a reservoir and popular tourist attraction created in the 1970s). A nice place and a good Weatherspoon pub.

Busy but managed to find a table, got the southern fried chicken burger for an adult and child and the only difference is we paid an extra 5 pounds for a bit of sauce.... staff were OK except for a lady with dark hair that was quite rude and obnoxious... hubby's burger was burnt, she just grabbed the plate and walked off... she looked like some form of management... she needs a customer service course and needs to learn to smile...

Great place for the family to meet and enjoy time together. Staff didn't seat us which I found strange we just merged two tables together and staff didn't say anything about it. Didn't know we could book a table either. You can order food and drinks via the app. The coffee machine is a great touch. The garden is huge!

Just a nice place to visit. Enjoy meeting up with my friend.

Needs a place to lock my bike up.

Very nice pub good parking very enjoyable

the waitress poppy was extremely kind and helpful, as when I required assistance she immediately helped me with a smile and haste. one of the nicest whetherspoons I've been to

Great food, great beer, great service and great prices.
