   Birthday lunch for mother in law and with our four year old daughter in tow. Staff were excellent, made us feel very welcome and offered smaller and amended menu options for our daughter. Food was delicious and high quality.

   We started with a couple of drinks outside on the terrace where there was music providing a great atmosphere. Sunday dinner was very good, a small choice of roasts however the quality was great. The drinks service for dinner was a little slow but other than that a very enjoyable afternoon evening. Will definitely be back to sample the normal evening menu. 👍🏻

   My friend and I had an excellent lunch on Friday.She chose the pork from the main main and I had 2 starters, halloumi and cheese soufflé. All 3 dishes were excellent.For desserts I chose the Eton Mess from the Specials board and she had the Sticky Toffee Pudding from the main menu; again both were excellent. The accompanying bottle of Chenin Blanc was a perfect addition to our meal. Well done White Horse, especially Chelsea and Joseph. We shall be back.

    This was a return visit for breakfast (24/12 last visit) and I was rather disappointed this time round. There was no avocado and we had to ask for butter to accompany our toast. I only received 1 slice of the GF toast to go with my Vegetarian Full English. I didn't feel that what we had delivered value for money.

    As always, wonderful food in a comfortable, welcoming setting and friendly, helpful staff. As well as the staple turkey, the Christmas menu offered a welcome range of choices.. the Camembert starter and the pork & beef mains were outstanding and refreshing with so many turkey dinners on the horizon in coming weeks.

    Food ok but expensive. However, the restaurant lacks ambience - it is a lovely building, and the bar area is great. The restaurant is too brightly lit and the service was ok but a bit lack lustre. Wonderful bar for a drink - great service there but restaurant does not mirror the bar experience.

    An always excellent menu, with a range of dishes to excite carnivores and plant eaters alike. Specials are also regularly changed with good options on starters, mains and puds. Am also a fan of their wine list with a decent range available to buy by the glass and the cocktails are top notch and generous. Would definitely recommend for either couples or family/friend gatherings and the staff are really engaging and attentive.

    We had lunch at the White Horse yesterday, our weekly visit, and it came up trumps yet again. They offer a superb Specials Board each day as well as an extensive food and wine menu and we chos from the former. My husband had a French cut Rump Steak, cooked to perfection( what the French call ‘bleu’ ), and served with mushrooms, spinach ad new potatoes; I had the vegetarian special, a delightful gnocchi cooked with oodles of mushrooms and courgettes, extra mushrooms as I don’t like spinach. For desserts he chose his favourite , Apple Tart Tatin, served with vanilla ice cream and I,mine, 2 scoops of Salcombe Dairy ice cream. The service was excellent,the food superb and we can hardly wait for next week to arrive!

    Fathers day so accept they were busy but our 5pm table wasn’t ready for 15 mins so we go to the table to be told we only had 90 mins. Service so slow we only had time for mains. Wine we ordered wasn’t available (out of date menu on our table), had to chase for kids drinks to be served and then again for water. Roast dinner was average. Potatoes were school dinner quality and chewy beef. Gravy was nice. Tried to charge us more than double! Will stick to The Fox in future.

    After being a long standing customer of the White Horse for many years and always having a pleasant experience, I was saddened by the service on Saturday lunchtime. 11th June. After waiting a long time for a glass of Champagne and querying it’s whereabouts, my husband was advised ‘we were in the system’. I felt more like on a conveyor belt than in my favour restaurant. I am so disappointed to feel this way particularly in view of past times.

    Service was poor....again. We had booked a table and sat under the covers....as requested. No one came to take our order for drinks or brought a menu so after 15 mins I went to get the menus and ask for drinks. Our starters weren't quick in arriving, or the plates being cleared. When the mains were delivered hubby asked for steak knifes...after 8 mins as his steak was going cold he went to find some. There was no apology for the delay or for him having to go and get them! My husband and son ordered a second round of drinks....which never came. So I paid and made sure we weren't charged. Someone asked us how things had been and I explained the above...the answer being....we were understaffed today so yeah not surprised...as if that was ok for a £107 lunch for 3! If they had said at the start order your own drinks and food at the bar as we are short staffed that would have been much better. Food was good ( except hubby's steak being cold due to the wait).
