“Excellent food and service especially by staff member Paul, extremely obliging and professional as well as friendly and accommodating to my friend and I. Very pleasant experience.”
EmerExcellent! - Tripadvisor

“Absolutely love the white horse! Food is absolutely amazing every time, loads to choose from. New management are absolutely incredible, so genuine, helpful and friendly, they go above and beyond every time. Recently had a baby and been here 3 times since ( all on busy Saturday evenings ) and all 3 times staff have changed our table and given us a great table with extra room for the car seat. Incredible high standards - always clean and great safety standards at present during the pandemic.
Very prompt service every time.
Would highly recommend visiting this place!!”
