EXCELLENT Based on 316 reviews Lauryn7 September 2025Verified Birthday Roast - fantastic! My partner and I visited for the first time today after hearing many good things, and it certainly lived up to the reputation. We came to celebrate my partner’s birthday with a roast, and from start to finish the experience was excellent. Tom and the team provided fantastic service – attentive and friendly without ever being overbearing. The roast itself was delicious: perfectly cooked vegetables, more gravy bought to the table without asking and outstanding beef. The only small point of feedback would be that the roast potatoes, while tasty, were more firm than crispy on the outside. We didn’t order dessert, but Tom surprised us with a thoughtful touch – a scoop of ice cream with a candle to mark the birthday, which really made the visit feel special. Overall, a 9.9/10. It never felt like a quick “thanks for your money and off you go,” but instead a genuinely welcoming experience. We’ll definitely be returning and highly recommend it to others. yesilada30 August 2025Verified Excellent meal Had an absolutely fantastic meal here! I ordered the sea bass, which was beautifully cooked and full of flavour, while my friends went for the tomahawk steak – perfectly cooked and presented, and they loved every bite. To start, I had the Greek courgette fritters with tzatziki, which were light, crispy, and delicious – such a great choice. The service was excellent throughout, attentive without being intrusive, and the staff really made us feel welcome. The atmosphere is amazing too – relaxed but lively, the kind of place you could happily stay all evening. Highly recommend this spot – we’ll definitely be coming back! Richard H30 August 2025Verified Meal out with friends This was an exceptional evening with friends. Attentive staff, great food and drinks. Lovely setting and we tried the T-Bone steak, it was out of this world. Will definitely return soon. Kerry S16 August 2025Verified Delicious Sunday lunch This pub was recommended to us whilst staying nearby at Stable End Holiday Cottage in Walsham le Willows. We had an amazing Sunday lunch with a large family group. The food was amazing, came out hot and with the most delicious gravy. The team were so helpful and kind, handled our large table excellently and nothing was too much trouble. The pub and restaurant have a warm and welcoming ambience with a horse theme which was interesting. Would definitely recommend! Peter T14 August 2025Verified The white horse Excellent selection of beer and food, very friendly staff who are very efficient and knowledgeable. Sociable beer garden Hazel T4 August 2025Verified Lovely village Gaston pub Visited as a family, lovely setting. Clean, bright and modern inside. Beautiful Sunday roast, good portions and quality was excellent. We will definitely visit again. Michael S20 July 2025Verified White Horse Sunday roast Excellent Sunday roast this evening as always. It never disappoints. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff, food presented and cooked to perfection. My dog also loved his (free) doggie roast. Cannot recommend this pub too highly but you need to book! Excellent choice of gluten free options as well Lucy W20 July 2025Verified Tremendous service, polite staff and enjoyable food. I would recommend to anyone considering going. Very dog friendly ! 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 :-)
