EXCELLENT Based on 308 reviews KateMcMarmite29 May 2025Verified Great dinner Friendly staff, excellent food and lovely surroundings. Staff were very helpful & flexible with the menu and just really nice to us. Food was fantastic drink options good too. Dee68201317 May 2025Verified Perfect Evening for Bridal Party Pre Wedding Celebratory Dinner What a wonderful pub! We were staying in Stowlangtoft for our wedding weekend and wanted somewhere for the night before so we could all relax (after a manic day of organising and decorating the wedding venue!) and start the celebrations with our bridal party and partners. From the moment I contacted the pub to ask about booking for a table of 12, the customer service was excellent. It was a beautiful place to be, and Tom the manager could not have done anymore for us - he was thoughtful, attentive, friendly and very kind and even treated myself and the groom to a glass of champagne each. The food was absolutely wonderful and the portions generous - most of us shared the veggie and meat grazing boards to start and they were delicious as were the mains. I only wish I had been able to eat more of the salmon pasta I had ordered, but my bridal nerves did not allow it! We had a wonderful, wonderful evening and will definitely be back! Thank you so very much for looking after us :-) Roger B6 May 2025Verified Looking for a good pub. Look no further than The White Horse Inn Badwel Ash We attended a steak night at The White Horse. From the moment we entered the Inn we were greeted by friendly staff. Having been shown to our table we were then served an excellent three course meal plus drinks. Staff very attentive. The cost of the evening was very reasonable. We are lucky to have such a nice pub close by. Would highly recommend. Alan R4 May 2025Verified Accidental find ! We went for a family Sunday drive and before we left Colchester I looked on Tripadvisor to fine a place to eat , I phoned The White Horse on the off chance they would have a table for 5 people ! 🤞🏻 Thank goodness we got in , what a fantastic gem we found , great appearance and decor inside so many fireplaces for the colder weather in the bar area , great theme throughout as the restaurant is based on a stable all horsey stuff but subtlety done . We were welcomed by some lovely friendly staff who served us drinks in the bar before our lunch . They had a Sunday lunch menu on today which was an excellent idea enough choice of beef , chicken , pork and roast cod with a lobster bisque sauce . We chose 3 roast beef and 2 roast cod , it was all fresh , hot and VERY tasty . We also had 2 side dishes of cauliflower cheese and braised red cabbage also a great price and again very tasty . I then finished off with a portion of sticky toffee pudding with custard which was the lightest sponge I have had for a long time ! Overall it was a fantastic place to stumble on and we will certainly return in the future . Thank you very much for your hospitality and some fantastic food , but don’t tell everyone where it is it’s too nice to share with everyone else. 🤞🏻🍽️ john b3 May 2025Verified Fabulous experience Fabulous meal last night. Wonderful service, the food was great and very reasonable too. The waiter serving us was extremely attentive. Oscar J27 April 2025Verified Friendly pub Was a nice friendly pub Plenty to choose from. Toilets were very clean and tidy and so was the entrance which is always a nice first impression Charli C23 April 2025Verified Highly recommend! Amazing food and service! Loved the atmosphere and theming too. Would highly recommend to couples, friends and families! Richard L5 April 2025Verified Put it on your places to visit. We went for a belated Mother's Day meal. The staff were very professional and were very accommodating due to my mother-in-laws dietary requirements. The food was excellent, personally one of the best steaks I have had in a long time. If you are in the area and are looking for a place to eat, go for it. Michael S2 April 2025Verified Theme Night Went to Spanish theme night. Food and service excellent. It keeps up the standards of previous visits. Also very pet friendly and has many menu items which are Gluten Free, which I need. Looking forward to the next one! Morgan E31 March 2025Verified Lovely quaint pub. Really nice elegant spot. Both had a Sunday Carvery that was lovely. I had pork and my partner had chicken. Service was good and made us feel welcome.
