It is one of my favourite pubs in the St Albans/London Colney area. Great weekend parties and super karaoke nights. Big thank you to all the staff at The White Horse. ♥️

Friendly service. Pizzas were great. Lovely places

Great little pub, been before, had lovely lunch with a friend, excellent food and service. Had scampi which was lovely, and my friend had Tex Mex burger, both plates clean at end!

Steak night is amazing, cooked to perfection service is brilliant, staff very attentive. Quiz night, great evening very welcoming

Went for breakfast and it was really good. Staff were very friendly and quick service.

Ordered a donor kebab, tbh it was not doner it was tasteless rubber, smelled like rotten, STAFF WAS EXTREMELY RUDE. Question: will I go back to that place? Answer : NEVER with this staff, I went there today at 2.30 pm and this is my last time, If you guys want to go there get ready to meet arrogant staff and later get food poisoning, stomach bugs and aches.

Excellent food delivered on time

Oct 2024 update: I originally rated 1/5 stars (please see below), but would like to say that the M&S Cafe is much improved now, so credit goes to the whole team there. The computer ordering system is still rather inflexible, but people are used to its limitations by now. The fiasco with mobile ordering has also been done away with, thankfully! --- The refurbished restaurant is an unmitigated disaster. Three months after reopening, the kitchen is still constantly short of food, the staff are overwhelmed and short of training. The ordering system is inflexible and doesn't tell you if an item is out of stock until you've gone to try and add it to the basket. At least with the old tills, we were able to amend items (no sauce etc). Now we're told there's simply no way to ask the kitchen for such tweaks, vastly reducing the menu available to those with allergies and particular dietary requirements. The restaurant itself is now ridiculously overcrowded. The sheer number of tables packed into the restaurant makes it impossible for people to navigate through, as well as leaving the inexperienced waiting staff roaming around looking for the right table to deliver any food that miraculously makes it out of the kitchen. Considering how long the restaurants were closed for refurbishment, it is very disappointing that more thought wasn't put into how to provide a functional dining service. We might have spent a long time queueing for food before the refurbishment, but at least once we'd ordered, the food was guaranteed to arrive promptly. Now, we can order and end up spending an eternity waiting for food that'll never arrive. If I could give this review zero stars out of five, I would.

Lovely worker called Laura M was so friendly when I went in for my birthday breakfast bap! It was really yummy and she wished me a happy birthday!

Best fish and chips around, Chinese food available too. However, today, they opened the doors after 12 when opening time is stated as 1145am on the door. The assistant did not know why they opened late. She assured me she would speak with the owner. I explained to her that 6 potential customers walked into nearby food premises due to them not being opened. Busiest time of day, and nothing was cooked yet.

Very Good Foods, and Halal Foods

We had a takeaway. Meat was so tough. The supposedly mild dishes are so spicy hot that I couldn’t enjoy it at all. Unfortunately I threw my food away. They used to be so excellent. Not using them anymore.

Delicious food from Slim Chickens. Very fast service and exceptional service. Very friendly staff.

Food took a while to come but that was fine as we weren't in a rush. When it did arrive however it was cold, the fries terribly so. I therefore politely requested that they be changed for hot fresh ones. Our server, who I believe was also the manager or supervisor, touched the fried with his bare hands and agreed. We were left with our burgers and so I assumed they would be quick. This was not the case, and so by the time they had arrived, we had finished our burgers. I communicated this was disappointing and not acceptable, and I was met with only rudeness and attitude. I quote, "Do you want the fries or not?". I was absolutely dumbfounded by the lack of acceptance of the inconvenience and error, and also the rudeness. Such a shame, the burgers were nice and we had enjoyed coming here as a family. I won't be going back. I accept mistakes happen, and so I judge on how they are dealt with. This was one massive fail. Sack whoever this incompetent manager with zero customer service skills is. I'd put him on toilet cleaning duty only!
