Not the easiest place to find but well worth the effort. A proper pub, good local ales, excellent food at very reasonable prices and all in all convivial atmosphere , in a nutshell everything that a good pub should be. We look forward to returning soon.
Extremely friendly welcome!
We had beautiful food - I had the steak and ale pie and my wife had the beef burger all superb and came piping hot.
The beer too was excellent and went down really well and a zero alcohol Butcombe ale was excellent
Looking forward to going again - absolutely faultless.
We popped out into town for a couple of drinks after work, and usually love The White Horse. We paid for our drinks at the bar and since there were no free seats in the bar area we went to sit to the rear of the pub. Two members of staff watched us walk past without acknowledgement. After about 5 minutes the waitress came over and said if we weren't eating we would need to move out of our seats. There were only about 3 tables of people eating and felt it was a bit abrupt. We finished our drinks and won't return.
Lovely pub. Staff are very helpful and friendly and a truly wonderful atmosphere here.
Excellent food and very reasonably priced with a varied menu.
The pub is dog friendly and definitely one of our firm favourites in the area!
Very popular pub and it is not hard to see why.
Ate here in the sunny garden on Sunday 7th April based on the good reviews. A great choice - friendly, efficient staff and delicious roasts and dessert. My thick, tender slices of roast beef came with roast potatoes, new potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, carrot batons, petit pois, cabbage and cauliflower cheese. My husband had the roast lamb with was equally tender and full of flavour. We shared a delicious Banoffee Pie - not too sickly sweet as it sometimes can be. Two halves of local cider and beer, coffee and tea and bill was under £45 - really remarkable value. Wish we lived nearer!
80th birthday celebration at The Oak. The food was excellent the atmosphere was great and we were all impressed by the service of the staff. Nothing was too much trouble and everything served to the table with a smile to what was a large group. My heartfelt thanks to all who worked so hard to make our evening an enjoyable one.
Great shop and service. Maybe play soft music and dim the lights a little. I have not long been out of a Secure Mental Health Unit and this place got me very emotional and extremely excited. So happy the good Lord guided me to this place.
Lovely to sit, relax and enjoy a meal here. The views looking onto fields of open space are lovely, especially if your normal is a lot of brick/concrete.
The food options varied from breakfast, brunch and main meals like a traditional plated up roast.
All was served with attentively and looked appealing to eat. Especially liked the edible flowers. Colour does wonders. Portions were good and prices reasonable.
The building is spacious. Not crowded at all. Imagine they’re able to cater for large groups. Perhaps will inquire as plenty of free parking outside as well.
