Ye Olde White Horse in South Holland

Lovely old pub with amazingly low prices which compare with what we had in 1990's around London. Great beers and even Mild which can rarely be seen anywhere in the south. Wine very limited , Red, White or Rose, spirits all by the brewery but fine under half the price of the south and a lovely atmosphere.

Go somewhere else. Food 3/10. Staff 3/10. Finishing your meal, drink and getting out of there 10/10 lol.

Nice. Pleasant friendly place for a drink. We were there on a quiet Wed evening, around 7. We enjoyed the quiet but for the sake of the pub, it needed to be a lot busier. Good IPA. Feels like a real old part of Spalding's history.

Easy to find with good smoking facilitys.

Very cheap, Old fashioned style pub

I ordered gammon steak. The gammon was so tough the knife could only just cut it but it was impossible to chew. I pointed this out but instead of some sort of apology I received rude and sarcastic comments especially from the kitchen member of staff. The meal was eventually exchanged for macaroni cheese which was just about acceptable. This used to be the most popular pub in Spalding but has been going downhill for a long time. No wonder the restaurant was empty.

Pleasant atmosphere. Hear food is good but just had a quick pint. Smaller brewery beers. Altogether good pint

Very poor experience, a pub that doesn't let you use a phone but can bring a manky dog in, ordered meals was not overly impressed with the service or the food.

Giving this place one star implies it has some level of quality, where is the zero star option. can not use a phone but can bring a manky dog in. Ordered food was not overly impressed with what I received. Should have used my phone and just got myself banned. Won't be returning.

Went in as pub looked really lovely &old What greeted us was old &archaic . The male bartender had never heard of dissarano ?? ,he said he had been in the trade years lol . The bit that got me was when he rolled his eyes to the two regulars @the bar . If you dont want visitors to your town &pub advertise it ,if you dont want people who own their own businesses in the same trade advertise it . Glad my business is run different to yours

Very pleasant surroundings and very friendly. Food, proper pub grub! Rear access I believe for wheelchairs etc. Don't know about parking. Definitely worth a visit.

This is a great pub with local ales at an amazing price (I live in the South of England). Great menu, also reasonably priced. Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

Really traditional old fashioned pub. Just what I wanted on my trip to England

Loved it. Great food, great atmosphere, a proper pub. How they should be.

Cracking fire, lovely old traditional pub.

If you're ever in Spalding be sure to visit this pub. Lovely traditional atmosphere, good food, blazing fire in the hearth (it was just before Christmas), all very cosy. Friendly bar staff. Brilliant prices.

Local excelente,Edificio expectacular do século XV(edifício + antigo de Spalding)a 1'a vizita toda a clientela te estranha,mas depois do 1'o copo isso passa. Tem 1 excelente atendimento tem lareira,no lado do bar,tmbm tem lado para comer, 1 esplanada grande(várias mesas tipo jardim)bom ambiente para passares 1 tarde(convém saberes o inglês/ou então levares companhia)

Nice old pub, good atmosphere and real fire. Good selection of ales. Shame they don't take cards.

Friendly place. Decent beer and brilliant prices. No noisy music or TV's ideal place to chat with friends so you can hear yourselves without breaking the bank. Food's pretty good too. Cooked to order and not microwaved.

Fantastic beer, friendly people and great value - what's not to like?

Gone downhill recently. Rarely anyone there !

Good place to eat something traditional.

Świetny orginalny alkohol i dobry klimat

Lovely local beer and helpful friendly staff.

Roast wasn't as nice as last time.

Great friendly little pub,excell excellent food and very reasonable prices

Booked for seven people to have a meal. Surprisingly was asked to pre order. Wasn’t all that impressed but I contacted all my friends got their orders and emailed it to them using reply to the menu they sent me. We turned up and barmaid looked confused and said there were no kitchen staff on. Landlord came to see us and said he’d not received email I showed it to him on my phone and also explained it had been done by using reply to ensure address correct. They had my booking my phone number yet if as he stated didn’t receive email how come didn’t contact me? It boils down to no staff on so no meals myself and friends some had traveled 15 miles. Not happy why advertise food yet can’t supply

Food nice. Pie crust too hard although filling nice. Service was slow.

Fantastic people helpful staff and good beer loved every minute

Świetne miejsce z własnym alkoholem i jedzeniem

Nice normaly quiet pub Good cheap beer.

A nice atmosphere, beer a nice price as not branded drinks

Me and my closest crackheads came for a few drinks which ended up to be a lot of drinks.We was really shocked by the look of the place it really is an old fashioned pub with a wood burning fireplace. We was greeted by the barman , or as we called him by the end of the night "Guv'na" who very friendly. We never been to this pub and was pleasantly surprised it didn't serve the usually "wetherspoons dribble".It had locally brewed beer and it tasted fantastic , i got a round for me and the boys 5 of us and it came to £9.25 ?!?! BARGINE. So it goes with out saying we spent the night there, we all got abit merry played a round of darts and pool. Joe got so drunk because the booze was so good and cheap he ended up sitting next to a dog (An actual dog not a pig) and was gently caressing its ear and telling it all his life problems, which was lovely, its been awhile since he had some physical contact with a man , woman or beast in that matter in all honesty and were not good friend to him at all we tear him apart 97.8% time were with him.The other crackhead, he's not really a depresso espresso like Joe is "Fish" decided to actually look at the drinks menu , and hes a bit funny , we think he bats for the other team, you know a woofta, backs against the walls boys, kinda lad.He camply mentioned "OOoo boys they do FFRRRUIITTTYYY beer". To me response was "Behave your son i'm not having any of that horrible shyt". He brought a bottle of cheery "Beer" which was actually to most expensive part of the night as it came to a whopping £2.95?!?. I dabbled and gave it go it wasn't that bad tasted like cherry aid.Still tho not my cuppa tea.At the end of the night we all thought it would be a great idea to drink port and lemonade , if i knew it was gonna taste like vimto , i would have declined but i soldiered on !! I brought the drink ill bloody drink it as i say.I brought some nuts that helped the situation as well.So overall 4.5 stars**** didn't give it five stars because i didn't eat there, but get a bonus half a star for having a parrot in the dining room.

Absolutely Devine Sunday lunch today..homemade Yorkshire’s..lovely succulent meat and fresh veg..my son is usually quite fussy about eating out but he ate every bit of his dinner here. All followed by a gorgeous dessert. All this in a nice clean pub and a roaring fire, what more could you want! Highly recommend. Will definitely be going again very soon!

Very friendly place and nice open fire

hate to say.... but it's been sooo good, beer wise. £2 a pint for bitter, even less for beer cocktails such as mixed.

Great traditional pub, friendly and cosy

Excellent pub with a good sized car park. Fab priced drinks and excellent friendly staff. Great night out.

A friendly pub with a warm welcome. Real fires and a good selection of homemade food to choose from. A Samuel Smith place so decent ale at a good price. Its under new management from Nov 2017 so give it a go. We are pleased we did and will return.

Good food, lovely open fires , friendly locals , dog friendly and 5* hygiene rating well worth a visit

Visited here with a friend as somewhere different in town to eat. Found a table and looked at the menu, we both decided on a cheeseburger. We were impressed when the food came out - the burgers were huge and Home made. Would definitely recommend.

It’s coming to the end of the year & even I can’t justify a flight somewhere different when there’s still so much family to see & things to do before New Years, so went to the White Horse in Spalding. Was immediately greeted with ‘have you got tickets’ and then took the next five minutes trying to get from the bar lad what they were for. A meat raffle (I’ve tried it, terrible chat up line) apparently. We respectfully declined. Ordered a pint of light mild and half a diet coke, but it’s not coke, or Pepsi, it’s cola... tasted like cola bottles & super sweet. He said it was basically Tesco value cola, not far wrong. The ale wasn’t too bad, tried a pint of dark mild after. Cost about £2 for the pint and £0.37 for the cola so didn’t break the bank. There’s lots of steps about and the toilets are up a couple for those that don’t do them, I didn’t get any WiFi but the facilities were clean. No music so not much atmosphere, nice open fire in the middle next to the bar & plenty of alcoves to sit in.

Very clean and friendly a great place if you want a night out or a lazy lunch. Quiet corners can be found if you want to have a meeting or similar.

Nice range of good beers, some draughts cheaper than spoons. Clean and nice building, relaxing and chilling.

We stopped off for a pint and a soft drink on our way home after walking around the town square and market.

Very disappointed. Been in this pub on several occasions and never a problem but I find the latest landlord extremely rude. I waited at the bar for about 3 mins while the landlord stood on my side of the bar drinking and making no effort to serve me. After I had to call a barman, the landlord became abusive all because I tapped on the bar to get his attention. I find this totally unacceptable ....... Wwill not be returning

What a fabulous old pub Sam Smith's spotless place and so cheap wish this was my local !! Returned again 3 months later, was blown away by staff remembering me and met Andy the landlord who is a real diamond. This is how a "pub" should be ,!

Excellent service and quality of food. Lisa and Andy couldn't have done more for my partners mothers birthday. They all loved the extras and the wonderful cake...

we love this place for old and young always nice and friendly good drinks and food little bit pricey for food but quality is good you can take children and they have outdoor seating outside so suits many people great in summer

Used to LOVE this place, it had GREAT landlords and the atmosphere was ALWAYS friendly and fun BUT..... Since the change in landlord's it's not a patch on the place it used to be....GUTTED!!

Cheap and cheerful. Nice beers.

This pub used to be great but not any more. Food slammed onto tables, Drinks served by rude staff, and some staff appearing to be intoxicated while serving. Never seen such rude service. Do not go there until the brewery have changed the licensee there. Gave it a 1 star rating as there isn't anything lower.

Excellent cosy and warm very friendly.

Precioso, no olde worlde exterior bastante igualados por el interior. Puerta lleva al bar público, puerta a la izquierda en el salón más cómodo. Inmediatamente perceptible en ambas habitaciones fue que el pub estaba lleno de niños y hombres bebedores de mediana edad (yo soy...

Great traditional thatched pub. Serves Samuel Smiths beer, so you won't find a cheaper pint anywhere around!

Llegamos bastante tarde, todos muy hambrientos, al final de un largo día (2 adultos y 2 niños). Aunque tenían casi terminado que sirve para pasar la noche, nos dieron una cordial bienvenida y pronto se sirve una deliciosa comida caliente - exactamente lo que necesitábamos y excelente relación calidad-precio.

I was part of a party for Xmas lunch

Pasar el fin de semana en Spalding, buscando un lugar para tener el almuerzo de domingo encontré Ye Olde White Horse y disfrutamos de un excelente asado los domingos. Lo que era incluso más interesante para mí es que si estoy caminando en la zona es uno de los pocos lugares que puedo llevar a mi perro. Excelente comida y gerentes acogedor. Un lugar que no debe perderse.

Mi pareja y yo nos hemos mudado recientemente a la zona y decidimos ir a cenar y encontrar un pequeño pub local. Se estaba haciendo tarde, así que decidimos, ya que estábamos pasando. La decoración interior es muy anticuada y aburrida. Ambos ordenados los cazadores de pollo y el pollo estaba tan hecha que era crujiente y fuimos incapaces de cortar! Lo mencionamos a la camarera y la señora del bar que dijo que iba a conseguir el chef. Esperamos unos 15 minutos antes de decidir que pedir un reembolso, ya que era casi 20:30, así que tendría que buscar otro sitio para comer rápido! Tuvimos que esperar otros 5 - 10 minutos con ninguna explicación de donde la señora había desaparecido antes de que ella volvió con la máquina de tarjeta. Ella nos dio un reembolso y nunca disculpas una vez para la comida horrible. Definitivamente no lo recomiendo.

A beautiful exterior well positioned at the centre of town . Interior rather drab and in need of refurbishment . Food very reasonably priced but dull . Needs a little more tender loving care.

Went for a snack lunch with friends visiting from Australia. While the food was okay and the young girl serving behind the bar was friendly enough, the lady who served the food was one of the most miserable people you could wish to meet. She never smiled and was completely detached from her customers, dumping the food down on the table. We explained to our friends that this was not normally how people were treated in pubs in this country. It was an experience we will not be repeating.

My friends and I ate here on Saturday night. Two of us had the steak pie. It was delicious. It came with chips, cabbage , carrots and plenty of lovely gravy. My other friend had the vegetarian Wellington. Which she thoroughly enjoyed and was quickly provided gravy to accompany it upon request. The drinks were very reasonable in price. The only downside was that they stopped serving food at 8 pm and my friends had to forgo their deserts!

Absolutely love this pub. I've only recently become obsessed with Samuel Smiths and their range of (relatively) local brewed alcoholic masterpieces. We often drive out through the wilds of Lincolnshire just to visit the White Horse. The organic lager is so clean and refreshing it's almost as good as a German beer. The bottled fruit beers are just perfect on a summer's day, again organic. Nice sunny garden out the back and friendly staff and locals. Always a joy!

This was my first visit to the White Horse for a long time.It has changed managers frequently and each time the menu is different.Today four of us had the Sunday lunch menu.I had the fish pie which was tasty and included plenty of fish.Another had the roast beef which he said was tender with a good flavour.The other two members of the party had fish and chips and liver and onions,both of which were enjoyed.One small criticism,they were a bit frugal with the accompanying vegetables,but overall an enjoyable experience.

Called in for a pint (always great prices) and decided to have a sandwich - The best sandwich we have ever eaten! Salad was added and lovely homemade chips! Price was very good as well. Never disappointed when we visit the White Horse! Can't recommend highly enough...Our Vegan daughter was catered for!

Dont go here if you like your branded spirits and mixers. Full of middle aged locals, who compete against each other audibly!

Three of us all agreed, the best Sunday Lunch in a pub ever! Superb roast beef, Tasty mash and roast potatoes, carrots and cabbage.. together with plenty of really tasty gravy and horseradish sauce. For desert... superb sticky toffee pudding and sticky fig pudding with custard or ice cream to to..... for.. AND.. the beer and atmosphere was great.

Fantastic value, great food, friendly staff who were only to pleased to help as I'm gluten free. Friendly warm atmosphere. Will be returning at some point again.

Quality roast, beautiful building, fantastic value, warmth from the fire and everyone in the place. I'll be coming back to Spalding from London just to visit this place again! Thank you!!!!

it nice clean place good beer and food car park round the back 3 rooms to choose from easey to get to nice people nice staff

Visited here again as daughter in pants across the road, fantastic food, great friendly atmosphere and exceptional service.Thank you to all concerned.

The building itself is iconic for the town, beautiful recently re thatched by the Riverside it is very visible central focus with good car parking to the rear which is a real plus point. There are several bar areas all of which are comfortable, a good if not extensive selection of beers good food with friendly efficient staff. If in town give it a try, I prefer it to the other Riverside pub in the centre the Lincolnshire Poacher.

A nice English pub with bar food. I liked the range of beers on offer. Wines selection a bit limited - best to keep it simple.

Arranged a birthday meal for my husband a party of 10 trying out the Christmas menu the food was amazing. There was so much food the portion sizes were excellent the service was brilliant they could not do enough for us. Made the birthday meal very special. Highly recommend it.

The one man army Chef here is churning out some of the best home cooked pub grub in town! Everything is prepared fresh and with such care that it keeps you coming back for more! Everything from the juicy burgers to the fully packed pies and delicious steaks are perfect. Checkout the menu for some filling bites or if you just fancy sitting by the fire and having a classic pint, then there's that too!

The atmosphere was friendly and the food delicious and plentiful, the staff/management were attentive and helpful, my son is diabetic and they made sure we had the right juice for him, the price is very reasonable too, a family of four with wine beer and soft drinks and roasts all round with dessert for under fifty pound, I loved the feel of the place with its low ceilings and coal fires. Will defiantly go back next time I'm in the area.

The food here is fabulous pub grub but all cooked to best standard. I have had the Hunters chicken and it was the best hunters chicken I have ever had and fab value. I drink in here regularly and definitely the cheapest in town. Also the best cider in Spalding!

As the organiser of this years works party I wanted everything righti and to the last minute change of numbers (added a person in the last mins of dinner starting ) Shaun and his staff were completely accommodating. Food was excellent and all individual needs were catered for, it was hot, flavoursome and plenty. The room we had dinner in was decorated beautifully and added that festive touch to our do. Lovely pub staff brilliant couldn't do enough for us. We are going back later in the new year. On another note due to planning the party meal I had to go the pub a number of times and I was struck by how welcoming everyone was there and to see dogs and owners sat round a roaring fire on a cold wet December afternoon made me smile. Sadly not many of these pubs left now. So thank you Shaun and your staff sorry don't know your names to thank you all individually

Cosy, historic and friendly. A little disappointed with the service and the confusion over what soup was available and the size of the bowl.

Went to white horse friends birthday meal, had the Christmas menu, was absolutely fab. So much lovely food and staff really helpful and can't do enough for you.

On my first trip to this beautiful market town I found shelter from the rain in this charming old pub. I think it's the oldest building in Spalding dating from1553. I was here for just and hour and a couple of pints of Sam Smith's stout. I hadn't tasted this before but it was not just delicious it was also only £2.20 a pint! Unbelievable. I noted a beautiful dining room and the lady behind the bar was so welcoming to this stranger from Essex. The regulars were similarly friendly and I saw that dogs were welcome too. I'll be back.

No recognisable beers or spirits but look past this and enjoy the open log fire, real ales and good honest pub grub. Would recommend the Gammon!

Walk straight in and don't be put off by the lack of recognisable beers. Excellent service, good real ale & spirits & Gammon to die for.

I've been been frequenting for just over a year , I'm a pub person who loves beer and pub grub.so you can imagine how delighted I was to find this little gem of a pub. Don't go if your expecting Michelin food washed down with expensive wines , this is a unique pub experience and is excellent value all round .If you appreciate a friendly welcome in attractive surroundings, then this is the place to visit..

I stopped by with my adult family for lunch. We had simple pub fare but it was perfect. Top marks for the pulled pork and cider pie I don't think I've ever eaten a more perfectly cooked serving of carrots.

I drink hear often and have eaten a couple of times. The food is very well cooked espicaly the vegetables that were so full of flavour. Possibly don't get the credit and custom it deserves

Had a great birthday with my family , food fantastic and even got a huge brownie birthday cake as well , staff are awesome , sooperrooperpooperdooper , best in spalding can't wait to go again.

On a visit to meet friends we met at ye olde white horse for lunch , upon entering we were met with a friendly hello , when we asked for lunch we were told , sit where your comfy and pop up to the bar when ready to order , the menu caters for all tastes and allergies, the staff were very helpful , my steak and chips was lovely steak was juicy chips home made fresh salad , nothing frozen there ! My friends vegetarian dish was i quote , the best she's ever had . We spent the whole afternoon here and were delighted to see dogs are welcome, we shall be bringing our mutt in , plenty of car parking spaces , because the management are very pro active in keeping the car park for the customer's and not for people to go shopping with out even entering this gem of a pub . well done to the management on the lovely beer garden , no smoking areas on the lovely AstroTurf, safe for children and dogs . think we've found our new local and can't wait to go back !

dog crap in bar area and when complained ,bar staff passed it on as nothing to do with them, very good for public relations

I'm an compulsive traveller and have eaten and sampled ale all over the world , but there is nothing like English pubs and pub grub , whenever my friends from Europe and the states come over I bring them here . good atmosphere and typically English pub grub. cant rate it enough , big parking space , friendly staff and locals , give it a try

This pub has changed but not for the better - food is rubbish and all frozen/ deep fried food. Go somewhere else - the Chinese crystal restaurant next door is superb! Also be aware that they are ripping off people by charging £30 per car if you leave it in their car park! They make people pay so isolating the pub from customers too - but then again at least u won't go again and that is good - unless of course u like frozen deep fried rubbish. The plastic 'grass' outside the back looks awful and is a haven for smokers too - yuk!!

What a wonderful place. Visited with friends. Great beer, and lovely decor. Friendly staff that were interested in their customers. Ample parking, and there is a cosy beer garden.

Popped in for lunch, well what a find, the Old Brewery Bitter from the cask, at well less than two quid a pint was absolutely gorgeous, I think it's a tied pub that serves only it's brewers wares as all the beers, lagers and spirits are of the same ye olde Yorkshire Brewery brand, my wife had the (house only) Gin, which was also excellent. We decided to stay for a snack, I had a burger, she a cheese and salad sandwich, both came with skin on fries, both were presented well and tasted great, good value too, two drinks each and food and change from £20. Well worth a visit if you need a beer and food. Cheers ye olde white horse.

I was in Spalding and wanted a quick snack before a meeting with the family lawyer. I had walked passed this hostelery many times, but although the first time was in the 1950s, I had never been in. (We left when I was 7 years, but I did return periodically, but pub lunches were never part of the schedule.) The exterior looks gorgeous and inside it is equally 'olde worlde'. I ordered scampi and chips - light and quick. I waited and waited..... when I asked, it was explained that there was only one frier working. When it arrived, the chef served it personally and apologised for the wait. OK, so far so good. However, what is normally a bog standard pub fare was from standard, instead there was a WOW factor. OK the scampi were frozen, but the peas were fresh (served in a small dish) and the chips were out of this world. The best I have ever tasted - and boy was it reasonable (unlike the lawyer's fees!!).

I went here for a meal wth my family and the warm invitation we received from the staff here was lovley especially a guy called Jason! I would definely return here again and am looking forward to good food and friendly faces! Thanks Guys! x

Lovely homely thatched roof pub in the heart of Spalding offering good home made pub grub and decent ales.Dogs are welcomeBest to go in the winter and enjoy the lovely open fires

Came today Sunday 23rd August as it was recommended by another Spalding public house to try the food here. The bar was busy which usually gives the indication that this is a good place to drink and dine. The young lady behind the bar was helpful when I was ordering food and we sat outside to eat. The food is reasonably priced and the menu isn't over the top, what you see is what you get.We sat outside in the beer garden and I love the smoking and non-smoking areas, was a nice touch.Ordered 2 pies and a macaroni cheese, they were well presented and I especially loved the homemade chips. The pie had a lovely crust and they wasn't mean on the chicken and ham filling. Thoroughly enjoyed the meal, definitely better than the last meal I had elsewhere in Spalding! This one was cooked nice, came out on time and the staff were all pleasant.Keep up the good work, would recommend Ye Old White Horse.

Came here today really nice friendly pub.Staff polite and friendly.Meal was lovely and prived fairly.Dog friendlyCar park to rear of pub

We popped over to Spalding a place I was born in and we had a beautiful meal here at the Ye Olde White Horse Pub the best Sunday Roast we have had for years, pork so tender it melted in mouth, greens etc 100% as well

we called in yesturday 11th april,had lunch which was great ,thought we would try the roast dinner today and we we not dissapointed,excellent beef very tender and all freshly cooked,great service and reasonable prices
