Visited 15/10 and ordered 4 roast dinners and a cheesy loaf to start. Starter was great, no issues. However, 3/4 dinners arrived cold so we sent them back. The server (male, presumably a manager) huffed at us and didn’t say a thing. The food then returned still luke warm so we tried to eat what we could. The potatoes on the menu are described as ‘goose fat roasted potatoes’, however, the potatoes we received were definitely frozen and reminiscent of a microwave meal (see pic). None of us were able to finish our meals and the majority of food was left on the plate. Upon collection, our server did not ask us how the food was or if there were any issues. She was silent and seemed annoyed when we said we did not want to see the pudding menu. It was a real shame as we have had some amazing meals in the past, but it seems as though the management or chef may have changed. Upon paying the bill, we expressed we were not happy with the food so she angrily typed into the computer, printed a new bill and slapped it onto the bar without saying a word. Disappointing service, abismal food from what was once a great pub.

The White House is a nice pub in a really nice area, and it has recently been refurbished to a high standard. Always remember it serving decent quality food. However, from our recent experience they're trying to pass off the food as upmarket gastropub quality with the same prices. We really didn't enjoy our food because it wasn't the quality we expected. Everything we chose from the menu is supplied by a third party, which doesn't give the kitchen staff much autonomy over quality. And it showed when one of the pies only had gravy in it. I'd be interested to see how the other items on the menu are cooked and presented. But we chose to play it safe this time due to the new management, and regrettably ordered the pub classics. We won't be returning for food. However, the service was good, pint decent and we didn't pay for our food.

Went yesterday. The food was very tasty and pretty reasonably priced. However it was busy (yeah we went on a bank holiday so kind of expected) but they only had 2 staff on floor and 1 on bar. They took pur drinks order fine then drinks took a bit to come and then we were sat there 30 minutes with menus in front of us waiting for our orders to be taken. We kept trying to get the attention of staff but none looked our way. We had to go up to ask them to take our order. The food did come quickly and was good quality. They then never came to check in on us or even take the plates. We then wanted to order pudding and again had to go and find staff to take our order. Pudding again was tasty and came quickly. Very highly doubt I will return as the waiting staff made us feel forgotten about and felt no one was in charge. A real shame.

A lovely evening…it looks so much brighter and more modern since the refurb…classy furnishings and friendly, professional staff.👌🏻 We ordered lasagna and steak pie but had to comment on the lasagna being very dry. The waitress was super professional and took it back to the kitchen. She came back and asked if there was anything my mum would like instead. She ordered the gammon and said it was perfect! A cup of tea came with a homemade chocolate biscuit 😋…and once the waitress discovered it w as my mums birthday, she had another 3!!!! Even the toilets have had a refurb and we’re only let down by one of the locks being non existent…typically the cubicle I chose as well! However in all truth, we really enjoyed the ambience, service and food. Thank you for making it special ❤️

Amazing, amazing place! It was raining so we stayed inside. Beginning of June and the fire was on, creating a lovely, cozy atmosphere. We loved everything here: the big parking, the colorful display of flowers at the entrance, the fact that our 3 dogs were more than welcome by the staff. They received blankets, treats and a bowl of water. The food was so tasty and I was impressed with the size of the Yorkshire Pudding. I don't have words, so the pictures will hopefully do them justice. I haven't had such a delightful meal in a long time. The ladies toilets were so colourful, extremely clean, smelling lovely and having nice soap and hand lotion. The staff is so attentive, so careful, so accommodating. This is by far one of the loveliest places I have ever been.

Beautiful place with lovely food. Service was amazing and the owner is fantastic. The only downfall of the evening was the older lady serving behind the bar. She was very rude and came across quite obnoxious towards my partner. He was paying contactless with her then abruptly asking, “can you not read? It says insert card!” He politely smiled and inserted card with her then being rude again. Apart from that, the evening was amazing. 10* 10* for food and other than the rudeness it was beautiful.
