   We ate from the set menu. I would highly recommend the Halloumi sticks, they were delicious. The service was friendly and we enjoyed our evening!

   The food today was less than mediocre, I'm sure nothing was fresh, limp vegetables Yorkshire puddings flat, but edible. The eating area was colder than outside which wasn't great, but we made the most of it! Gone the days of fresh roasts from Andy Singers days!!! 1 star for the food because it was edible, 5 stars for the service, I think her name was Anabel, in fact the guy behind the bar was also good. 3 stars for atmosphere just because of sentimental reasons. To The White Horse Manager, please sort this out, don't do Sunday lunch if it's not all fresh, it certainly was disappointing today, and I know you can do better. Oh and tge kitchen staff should be dressed appropriately, not in shorts, just my opinion. Last thing, the menu was rather short because you had run out of, new potatoes. steak and vegetarian options. •

   Such a shame as used to really like this pub. Very quiet for a Sunday. Slow to receive starters, which were ok. Patatas Bravas was not patatas bravas. Just potatoes with some paprika sprinkled on. Roast dinners were average. Beef over cooked. Cauliflower cheese (maybe half a floret each). Worst dish of all was the nachos. Sour cream was not sour cream and the salsa was just like tomato ketchup with some vinegar in! Hardly any chilli topping. Nice staff but sorry won’t be back.

   2.5 stars overall. Half the food items missing (one chef) so we were left with soup, hummus or chicken for starters… by two thirty there was no beef and only 2 pork left meaning people would have chicken for starter and main - no warning in advance which is what annoyed me abit as their website advertises the best Sunday lunch ever. Starters delish but mains very disappointing. Service was alright. Busy and understaffed but could’ve been better

   I ordered the Vegan Sunday roast which I really enjoyed. All of the vegetables were really well seasoned and cooked perfectly, however the main part of my meal was completely cold. After notifying the team they quickly resolved the issue and applied a discount to my bill. The food was delicious and the garden is lovely, so I would definitely return in the future.

   Unfortunately we had a really disappointing experience. The roast chicken was not cooked properly and the vegetarian Wellington tasted like it had gone off so both dishes had to be returned. When it was time for pudding at 6pm we were told the kitchen had unexpectedly closed. When leaving, a sign had been put up saying the kitchen was closing at 6 due to staff training. However, the waitresses did not know that this was going to happen. The waitresses were great but the food was disappointing and there was no apology or explanation from a manager as to what was going on in the kitchen.

    Came here for Father’s Day so expected a half decent time. We were sat promptly and chose our food. First starter we wanted wasn’t available on a 2pm booking. Ordered starters and mains and a kids meal. 10 minutes later somebody different came over and asked if we were ready to order. Not great. Around 30 minutes later our mains came out before starters. Mains were taken away and another 10 minutes later basic starters came out and didn’t match what was on the menu. Another few minutes we were asked what was accompanying the kids meal when we’d already told them. Starters finished and our mains that had been sitting under the light for 15 minutes came out. Salad was warm and brown. I got a replacement. Roast was apparently ok. I had to ask twice for mayo. Not offered any further drinks during the meal. Not busy in there either. It’s a shame as the place is nice and we’ve eaten here before and it’s been nice hence why I chose to go back. We left before our plates were cleared and didn’t consider a dessert. We had the bill discounted but that’s not the point.
