The White Horse

Mike Silk

We were delighted with our visit to the White Horse yesterday, the first time we had been back to our local for a long time. This venue has had its share of problems over the years and the level of support from Mitchell and Butlers has been woefully inadequate at times when the pub was crying out for investment. It was therefore encouraging to arrive and be warmly welcomed by a strong team of four behind the bar plus a dedicated food runner too. However busy the pub got, (and get it did) there was never a long wait for service and the Purity guest ale was of exceptional quality. Our starters were excellent, (the soup very tasty and served piping hot) and we followed up with steaks accompanied by a generous serving of peppercorn sauce. It did not just seem to be us who were enjoying the evening and there was a convivial atmosphere and contented buzz about the place that was really pleasing to note. Running pubs in the current economic climate has become exceptionally challenging but it seems everyone on the team is going the extra mile to get things right and with Chelsea leading capably from the front the White Horse has become a local to cherish again. Great progress has been made from some of the dismal experiences in the past and hopefully this will continue long into the future. The pub has a large catchment area and plenty of punters locally who are willing it to do well. Please keep up all of the good work. We are now looking forward to returning again on a more regular basis.

Lovely food but felt sorry for the lady working the Bar as was clearly short staffed. Only negative is the mirror in the ladies toilet is too high up unless you're 6ft tall you'll never be able to look in it.

Very clean and very welcoming establishment. We held our late father's wake here, the staff were very accommodating and the food served was excellent, enjoyed by all. Would recommend and Thank you
