    Had a lovely meal. Just picked 5/6 starters to share between two and it was more than enough! Food was great, the hot honey chicken tenders were incredible. Staff super friendly and a great vibe in the garden.

    We love The White Horse, Woodnewton. As soon as you walk in, you are welcomed whole heartedly by members of staff. From that moment on, the staff are simply superb and nothing is too much trouble. They have an expansive menu and all food is cooked from fresh. There are always items on the menu that would suit all tastes. Food is well priced and your plates will always be well and truly full when served to you at the table. Quality, quality, quality. Thank you to all members of staff for always making us welcome.
