We arrived at the restaurant on a Saturday evening with high expectations after reading the reviews and awards. To our surprise, the pub was only half full, but we were seated at a large table and took a look at the menu. The menu consisted of a mix of pub staples like fish and chips and burgers, as well as more adventurous options like beetroot ravioli and partridge, along with a few starters like scotch egg and souffle. Unfortunately, the menu didn't quite meet our high expectations and leaned more towards safe and traditional dishes rather than something worthy of a 5-star reputation. Although the food we were served was well-prepared, with the fish in beer batter being a highlight, overa...
Venturing in on a brisk autumn Sunday for lunch with my family I was excited at the prospect of a tasty wholesome roast platter to share. I sat for 20 minutes invisible to the front of house staff while they struggled to take our orders. We then had to order our drinks at the bar. Instructions were unclear. It would appear the do it yourself front of house service continued into the kitchen as the Partridge was served looking like it had been sat in the autumn sun for 30 minutes. After cutting it open and informing the waiter I was informed this was appropriate as it’s a gamey bird, and ok to eat. Although I appreciate it’s a gamy bird, we were served raw fleshy meat.. I love pink meat, but...
Stayed for 3 nights. Very central for the sights we wanted Stonehenge, Avebury, Salisbury cathedral, Mompesson house. Our room (No.2) was rather small the shower room even smaller but it was all very clean, very quiet, comfy bed good choice of tea bags, coffee etc. Slight niggle that these weren't replenished as we used them (but I suppose we could have asked). The staff were all friendly efficient. We had breakfast each morning dinner on two evenings all the food was absolutely excellent. Would definitely recommend.
We had a great Sunday roast for four adults. The shared roast platter for two was unique and tasty, although the carrots were a bit hard. The child's meal was not as child-friendly, so my child ended up choosing pizza instead of the off-menu pasta. The pizza was not to her liking due to the fresh tomatoes, but the chips were tasty. The atmosphere was lovely and the staff was friendly. I believe they could benefit from advertising more, as the experience was worth recommending to others. Book a table now
Stayed at the White Horse for just one night. Small country pub with a few rooms in another building at the back, hardly a Hotel. Staff were ok, well the only one we saw Was a young man who worked behind the bar in the evening showed us to our room and then served our breakfast in the morning. We stayed in room number four, very small with a very very small so called double bed. This should be only used for single travelers, not couples.
We spent two nights at The White Horse this past weekend. The B&B accommodation was good, not amazing but not bad either. The location is fantastic, the staff were wonderful, and the food (2 dinners and 2 breakfasts) was absolutely fantastic. The menus were superb, the food was cooked perfectly and presented beautifully. They also had a unique and thoughtful selection of wines. The atmosphere was great overall. Highly recommended!
Having seen the a la carte menu on the website we went hoping to have a really delicous lunch. We were very disappointed that it wasn't offered, and that the main course from the pub menu I wanted wasn't available either. Real shame, because we were looking forward to treating ourselves and spending some money. The website doesn't accurately represent what was on offer.
Super friendly welcome on arrival and efficient service. The food was freshly cooked and outstanding I opted for the vegetarian katsu curry served on a cauliflower steak and it was amazing. The others chose mussels in a bacon and cider sauce and the burger. Both agreed their dishes were excellent and are looking forward to a return visit. Book a table now
We know it well. New menu this week. Ginea fowl mains truly excellent. They are trying hard here and succeeding. It’s not cheap, but where is now? Deserves your custom. Food and drink locally sourced and all the better for it. Support your local pub/restaurant! Service friendly prompt and unobtrusive. It’s all good.
