EXCELLENT Based on 346 reviews Posted on Phil M05/04/2026Verified Steak Night Turned up without a booking and it was steak night! But Tom got us in and we had a faultless meal. Melt in your mouth steak and chips that were crispy on the outside and fluffy in the middle. Plus some super sauces. Backed up by some beer from the Wolfe Brewery, and top wines, thanks guys what a great team. Many thanks Phil and LynPosted on Kathy T01/04/2026Verified Date night with kids Date night with my daughter and one of my sons, we did a themed night this month it was a steak night. We didn’t have a starter we went for the nibbles, i love olives, don’t know where they get them from but I’ve never had one so big and tasty, bread lovely, truffles awesome x Main course, steak with a choice of accompaniments, steak cooked to perfection , sauces and a side included, the three of us ordered different sides and shared. Service spot on, staff lovely. Checking their themed nights before we left because we will definitely be back xPosted on Ann A29/03/2026Verified Another amazing meal at the White Horse Inn, couldn’t fault it. Absolutely brilliant meal. The starters we had were delicious, I had the Cheese Soufflé and it was amazing. My husband had the beef ragu and said it was the best starter ever and our granddaughter and her boyfriend had a meat platter starter and said how good it was. For mains my granddaughter and I had the Mussels and frites so yummy and the boys had the ham egg and chips and couldn’t stop raving about them. Not your typical ham egg and chips but a very delicious upgrade being Braised Ham Collar which was melt in the mouth , a delicious Mustard Sauce and a perfectly fried egg as well as the most amazing rosti chips. We were served by Matt who as usual was very efficient attentive and lovely as well as a young lady who was obviously trained by Matt and Tom as she too was lovely and an asset to them.Posted on LoverofFood24/03/2026Verified The Guinness List On my adventures around local pubs to find great locations for a great pint of Guinness, I had to include The White Horse in my list. Always a good pint!Posted on Damian P13/03/2026Verified Superb Sunday roast We had a superb Sunday roast dinner - couldn't be faulted. Food was extremely good, service was very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back.Posted on maggieboot28/02/2026Verified Excellent family birthday dinner! We have just returned from a family birthday dinner, 5 children and 6 adults and cannot fault a thing, such a lovely cosy pub, the service from arrival to serving food was amazing, the young lady who served us was so lovely and great with the kids. Considering there were so many of us the food came quickly and all our dishes were excellent, kids especially loved sticky toffee pudding!
