Reviews of The White Horse
A. A.
My husband and I went for a hike and came across this pub at the end. The atmosphere was cozy and warm and the platter we ordered was perfect. I am definitely coming back again to try the steak. 2 things I really appreciated were that They allow dogs inside which I found perfect and had partitions between the tables
K. S.
What a lovely little pub. We booked for a fathers day meal, we were greeted and swiftly shown to our table. It was a nice un rushed atmosphere, the staff were amazing and waited on us continually. The food was piping hot and really tasty, you could tell the beef was fresh and cooked to order. After we had our meal we sat outside in the outdoor garden where our daughter played happily will we left.
J. R.
Had a lovely mince pie and coffee just the job after a brisk walk round watermead and king leas lake they were just setting up for a brass band they had booked for boxing day entertainment
R. P.
Beautiful setting, friendly staff, great beer, roaring fire.
Perfect.
R. H.
Really nice visit for lunch on Saturday. Catered for the whole family including making the kiddies feel welcome. Best ice cream served (in the world / over all time) ever apparently! : )
S. P.
Went there last night. Food was cooked perfectly. Full of flavour. Menu was minimal but ok. I would have given 5 stars if the ambience was a bit better.
C. G.
Very pleased indeed. Plenty of car parking, nice interior and staff. Very enjoyable smoked salmon Nicoise. Great mix of salad and leaves with boiled egg, olives and dressing.
R. P.
Delicious cup of coffee, beans by St.Martins Coffee Roasters. Makes for a nice rest stop whilst strolling around Watermead.
N. H.
Great dog friendly pub. Friendly staff and yummy food
A. V.
Great atmosphere and food was yummy. I didn't get to take many pictures.
A lady by the name Tannia was amazing she served well and was polite. Oh and the gentlemen who greeted eceryone near entrance was super helpful.
Deffo coming back.
S. S.
Lovely setting next to the river.
Food a little pricey.
My mums coffee we ordered was more froth than coffee!!
P. H.
We try our hardest when travelling to find convenient pubs with good food and somewhere for the kids to be welcome and stretch their legs. This canal side pub did not disappoint. Great gastro pub menu with lots of choice. We had lovely sandwiches at lunch time but very tempted with fab sounding burgers. Very welcoming and accommodating staff and great beer garden with play area. Would return.
K. C.
Great pub, great food lovely beer garden and children's play area. Definitely a pub to visit
K. T.
Had a very nice meal caring staff, nice inside the pub.. I will definitely go back.

Ideal stop if visitingatermead Country park modern interior with plenty of outdoor seating. Small children's play area. Open for meals or just a coffee.

We went to the White Horse - 7 adults and 3 children to celebrate our birthdays and after a walk around the lake we enjoyed an excellent meal and brilliant service from friendly staff - would definitely go again!

Always visit for a bit of lunch when down from Edinburgh. Great food and great service. All staff very helpful in accommodating us on a visit to my brother after lock down m. Staff very helpful in assisting my brother and his mobility scooter.
P. P.
Enjoyed a lunchtime (Friday) foccacia sandwich. Really nice. Would recommend. Friendly staff. Handy for Watermead Park. We walked from the North end. Outside space. I'm sure it would be nice in the summer.
J. H.

Fabulous beer garden ...really tasty food and good drinks. Staff very friendly and welcoming.
J. H.
Tucked away nicely just off a canal.
Pleasant staff.
Plenty of on-site parking
Decent pub garden.
Just had sent potatoes fries and a coffee, so can't comment on the food too much, but what we had was nice.
Nice decor inside.
P. W.
Lovely place for a quite drink. Nice setting by the canal 😊👍. Definitely recommend 👌
S. C.
Great friendly staff great grub and great value for money
G. L.
Lovely garden next to the water, good selection of drinks and a nice interior as well.
R. J.
Great service and delicious Cajun chicken and goats cheese focaccia...will return for another !
k. n.
nearly 80 quid for sunday dinner and 3 pints WOW but really nice food but expensive
K. G.
Nice afternoon on a lovely day, not so sure about inside. Need to sort their toilet roll holders to prevent accidents
L. G.
Beautiful food & very friendly staff x
B. A.
Lovely spot. Been here a few times over the last few years. Staff always very friendly.
Ate here for a Sunday roast dinner, but unfortunately quite disappointed with the meal. After quite a wait the Lamb was extremely fatty and chewy, potatoes overdone, yorky pud burnt to a crisp, veg quite hard and underdone. Dessert of treacle tart was quite underwhelming! Small tart with small dollop of ice cream on a massive plate! Granted they did offer a kind gesture to us for the wait, which was gratefully received. Just a real shame about the meal, normally quite good food there. Also, they only had one choice of ale on tap, nice drink but nice to have a choice!
Overall a nice place, quite nice to visit in the summer with outside seating and play area for kids too. Just need to make sure food is better next time!
N. G.
Great food. Great atmosphere inside and outdoors with friendly staff.
R. W.
Very friendly and accommodating staff. Lovely location and great food
D. S.
Excellent food , nice pub .
K. J.
Always a good day down The White Horse, shame the full seating area wasn't available as it was a beautiful day to sit outside and enjoy a few pints.
D.
Good food, friendly helpful staff,.
T. M.
Nicely located. Good outside seating area. Meals small menu but variety of Greek and European dishes. Not good value for money due to skimping on the portions. Drinks overpriced and lack variety. Good service and nice on a warm summers day
D. B.
Only went for a quick bite to eat and it was good and friendly
P. G.
Brilliant Sunday roast...excellent value for money in a great atmosphere.
A. C.
Lovely waterside pub, great staff, friendly locals xx
A. A.
Always nice food. Great fun
H. J. R.
Friendly staff, so no complaints there and a very nice beer garden on the canal... Alas... No real ale other than Doom Bar, which was a disappointing start and the food was expensive, which if the quality was there would have been acceptable, but the burger was average: overdone and underseasoned. No one checked about the food, so no opportunity to ask for other sauce options etc, which considering current covid rules is understandable. Still, a very pleasant atmosphere, and would pop in for a pint again.
J. B.
Staff were very friendly, drinks came out quickly. My husband and I sat outside as it was a nice day. We had a starter of some nachos which were great, more than enough for two and plenty of topping. I had a chilli from the light bites which was very tasty. My husband had a burger. He said it wasn't that tasty, and the fries looked anaemic. He asked for condiments which didn't come very quickly and had eaten his burger before he got them, by this time the fries were cold. Such a shame as we really loved this pub. Maybe bring condiments of with the main course so you don't have to wait would be an Idea!
S. D.
Great experience but although food is plentiful it's a bit basic
V. B.
The food was very good and the gentleman who served us was friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back 🙂👍
S.
Beautiful setting by the river with fantastic garden. Staff were brilliant and the food was delicious, especially impressed with the range of vegan and veggie food and how many dishes were adaptable for food allergies
Top marks all round
H. R.
Staff were excellent, the chef my god what an amazing meal I had.. hats off to you as I've not had a great meal at a restaurant in ages a lot of them are slacking lately but hats off to you chef haha feel you needed recognition well done. Lovely walk and view would recommend this pub it's lovely
C. K.
Very good service enjoyed meal friendly place
E. H.
Hi,
We had a lovely short notice Sunday Roast dinner.
Staff were great, and I fell in love with a dribbling cat.
I have to mention my mistake of my previous review by giving 1 star rating, this was a complete mistake on my half.
Apologies white Hart.
Hope I've resurrected myself.
D.
We had a wonderful Saturday afternoon at The White Horse enjoying the sunshine, the drinks and the food. It was great to be out again in such a safe environment after months of lockdown - the garden looked incredible! Thank you to all the staff who worked so hard to make sure we had the best time.
L. D.
Really nice place!
Absolutely lovely view of the canal.
The only negative is, they should probably ask their customers whether they want their meat dead or alive... mine came pretty much still MOO - ing 🐄🐄
I cant comment back the the response I will add it here.. it says pink.. yes.. but mine was absolutely full of blood.. I
N.
Really nice pub. Well thought out and friendly continuous staff. Not been in many pubs recently but this one ticked all our boxes for a safe pint!
P. M.
The location ambience were great, staff was so nice. I loved the steak. All the same I found the starters a bit greasy.
S. B.
First time we've been there after being recommended by other families. The weather was great so we had a meal outside. We enjoyed a drink and a meal while the kids were playing. It has a great play area surrounded by a fence.
The food was amazing, the best medium rare steak I had in a long time, perfectly cooked, we opted for sweet potato fries which were crispy and delicious. The portions are decent size, we could barely finish. We also went for a walk along the canal, which was a great ending to a sunny afternoon.
N. N.
Really lovely menu, friendly staff, lovely garden, would definitely visit again! Want to try everything on the menu. Lovely fresh food too!
J. “. C.
My beer I ordered was not that nice .... personal taste. But I enjoyed my drink in the garden. The girl that served me was polite. The toilets were clean and CV19 precautions all adhered to. Stay safe, follow the rules and stay open.
P. F.
Good food and ales and next to the River Soar. Outdoor facilities for seating is superb and plenty of room. Has a little outdoor play area for small children as well.
m. m.
Had a lovely meal with my family everyone enjoyed it the staff were very nice and friendly
s. c.
A fantastic place to have a beer

B. S.
Lovely pub, food very good, couldn't ask for better service and staff.
a. w.
Great local pub! Hanging with the Sparks gang
S. B.
Lovely setting, outdoor service very friendly - fantastic chips, and enjoyed burger with a twist. Pity the Leicestershire local wine no longer available...
J. S.
Standard pub food but lovely setting very close to Watermead nature reserve. Nice walk, feed the swans and ducks then feed yourself!😀
S. D.
Beautiful place to come for a drink in the beer garden
S. D.
Very nice pub but expensive
C. N.
Lovely pub grub and great staff would come back again
S. H.
Lovely food and good friendly service, reasonable prices given the quality of the food. Lots of ingredients are sourced locally.
I am a vegan and have had 2 of the vegan options available on the menu so far, both were good quality and very tasty. It's so good to have vegan choices.
Would highly recommend this to anyone
but particularly vegans and vegetarians.
L. P.
Lovely food lovely scenery
R. N.
Very nice place!
Food was excellent. The burger I had (Mexican) was just perfection. I'd recommend to anyone!
The service was standard for any decent place. Check your food is okay, make sure you have drinks and just generally look after you. Nothing exceptional but also nothing to complain about!
The place itself is fairly small, but also not rammed. It's off the beaten path which makes it rare for passers by, but also adds to the homely nature it seems to nurture. Very good for an afternoon lunch in the sun!
In all, I'd recommend this place in a heartbeat. Definitely visit, you won't regret it!
J. T.
The food served, eventually, at this establishment was of a good quality and flavoursome. Sadly, despite a relatively quiet lunch time, it took 40 plus minutes for the food to arrive. Other clients having ordered their food after ourselves, received their orders first raising my query. I'm sorry to write that the attitude of the staff was curt and critical. This isn't how a successful business treats it's customers. Not even an apology was forthcoming. The tariff is restaurant scale, not pub. I expect better.
L. H.
Good service and dog friendly.
H. D.
Great local pub, lush beer garden and amazing location next to the canals. Staff are always super lovely, attentive and helpful, just a generally good atmosphere. Never had a bad experience here and this place has fast become my go-to destination. Free wifi, good food, cold beers, good drink selection, as a pub manageress myself, I'd say this place is everything you'd want a good pub to be. 5 stars 🧡
P. Y.
Food was good but service was so so, only because we felt a little neglected on the day which was Sunday lunch, as other people seemed to be looked after instead of us. Nobody came to ask if everything was okay and we sat with finished plates for too long. I have eaten there before with excellent service so it was just for this Sunday lunch that things slipped a little. There were apologies and complimentary desserts so that was good! I do like it overall though and good prices.
S. A.
A good family and also a bit romantic sort of pub. Food is great although I personally think it’s a bit dear for what you get. But they do many special days for the family like their duck day or their bake off days which are much loved by all the locals in this village and surrounding villages
A. S.
Had a gender reveal party here and would like to say a MASSIVE thank you to all the wonderful staff. The food was lovely and there was more than enough. And the staff were on hand to help with all the setting up. Paul the manager was brilliant. Would not hesitate to recommend this pub. Thank you again.
L. I.
Lovely location with very limited choice in the menu. Lamb burgers 🍔 were awful. Service was brilliant, staff are very friendly and accommodating.
b. h.
Stopped off for a bite to eat after long walk, sat in garden, it was lovely, staff were very good, food was delicious, the pint wasn't bad either, deffo recommend
H. J.
Great location, cracking food, and the duck race May days a must.
s. h.
Nice place to go to, lovely menu poorly executed with over done lamb and roast potatoes, slow service.
C. C.
Nice British pub with a garden too. Perfect for your hot summer days to have a pint in the sunshine. Also nice in winter too. They serve food and good variety of drinks as well. Highly recommended for any occasion.
T. B.
Lovely location, very picturesque and adjacent to Watermead park which is a nice area to walk or cycle. The garden is large and well maintained. The interior is modern but I found it to be a little to light and airy, almost like a very nice garden shed. The food was good but the wait times were horrendous despite there being very few diners.
Overall, a nice place to sit and have a drink after a nice walk but not worth the trip just for the food.
R. S.
Just had a lovely Mothers Day meal here and wanted to give a well-deserved 5 stars. Lovely food, (puddings especially superb) and friendly, helpful staff. Went out of their way to accommodate my mother who is a vegetarian with a freshly prepared dish, which she said was amongst the best she'd ever had.
Although not the cheapest, good value considering the excellent quality of the food. Will definitely return again!
D. H.
Visited for Lunch after a walk around Watermead Country Park. This canal side pub welcomes dogs in the Bar (and when I say welcomes - they get their own lunch!). Great selection of beers and the food - well it was PERFECT. Best Pub Food I have had in years!
E. 7.
Had a wonderful meal ( had the Rib-eye steak ), very friendly staff with excellent service. Would happily recommended and will definitely be back 😁😁👍👍👍👍
C. P.
Best panini Ever!!! Definately going Back!
P. M.
Great food, lovely pub and amazing staff.
The young male waiter is a credit to the business
C. P.
Great food lovely pub, they just need to speed service up a bitbut understands the pressure. Although I wasn't to chuffed about having my bill before I'd even got my food.
K. H.
I had the brie wedges and lamb kofta which were very tasty. The ony critism was they need more staff as we waited a long time for our drinks.
L. S.
We came in with a number of allergies in our group they were really good at accommodating all these , and then all the boxes for any restaurant are ticked good customer service , good food at a decent price
G. P.
Love it here! The staff are always so friendly. Food is lovely and even through these tough times they are doing so well to make you feel relaxed yet still safe
J. C.
Nice outdoor area where dogs can go.
C. P.
Good drinks, food and service
A decent pub with great outdoor space and car park too
B. M.
Great pub, even in these tough times. I had a business meeting with my accountant in their fantastic grounds. Staff service was excellent.
Fully recommend the White Horse for both business and leisure .
D. L.
Easily the best pub in Birstall, possibly the best in Leicester.
Sitting at the edge of watermead park, this pub is accessible via car, bike and even boat. They offer food, snacks, sports on TV, a vast beer garden overlooking the canal and even a children's play area.
B. M.
Great landlord, drinks and food.
M. J.
Lovely riverside pub. Mooring outside. Big garden with play area. Very nice food but leave plenty of time.
B. L.
Beautiful quaint village pub. Food excellent, great portions. Staff very friendly. Great service.
T. P. S. T.
The food is not bad and it is very family friendly. However, it just doesn't have a good beer selection nor is it that cheap. The beers are very standard with no guest ales. Fine for the occasional meal out in the sun (it has a good beer garden) but that is it really
E. F.
There were 13 of us, so to please us all is a big ask. The pub is beautifully situated, slightly awkward getting down the narrow road which thankfully was one way. Absolutely rammed with 20 something age group so we felt quite old! Food very good but service very slow with a long wait between courses.
D. J.
Great environment , fantastic staff with great table service ,food was really good and great value , highly recommend the classic burger ! Definitely worth another visit !
m. a. (.
Stopped in on 12th August 2021 for a drink after running from syston to watermead park , extremely friendly staff very welcoming definitely be stopping there again soon 😊
C. R.
Very good child friendly
G.
Loved it 😁 2 years since we last visited due to touring the canals up north and it's still as good a ever.
M. B.
Nice pub was a bit disappointed About the food had a hunters chicken, The chips and salad was great but the bacon was full of fat the bbq sauce tasted strange and the chicken was not fresh chicken . It was like frozen chicken the one like tesco one for £5 in a plastic pack one not the tray one to be honest. The staff was nice and easy to order.
S. T.
Lovely setting next to the canal, nice play area for smaller children and the food was amazing.
A. C.
Friendly, great beer nice chips. Limited Vegan menu though
V. B.
Had an amazing meal with friends, the waitress was soooo nice, The Mexican burger was wonderful and the sweet potato fries were Morish. We all had lovely meals and amazing puddings, the strawberry meringue was to die for. Great place, great food.
H. O.
Nice large beer garden at front of pub with separate kids playing area. Picnic bench type seating outside and plenty of tables inside for comfortable dining. Good selection of food on Sundays and not just limited to a Sunday roast. Watermead Country Park and canal very nearby makes for a nice walk afterwards too!
J. “. N.
Nice pub. Great for family's. Play area available for the kids
s. w.
Lovely environment, happy staff great area with a play area for young kids too.
J. W.
Lovely pit stop after driving back from town. Staff very friendly & attentive.

R. H.
Excellent pub tucked away in the lovely old part of Birstall. Very good food, lovely staff, large garden to the rear with a view of the river. I think i will be a regular here especially during the summer months. Very impressed.
M. L.
Nice pub, lovely environment. And especially being next to the river . Food was good .
M. L. M.
Stopped for a roast, could not fault. The dog got a bag of treats too, even better!
A.
Been twice, once late evening and once for the sunny beer garden. Both times I've not had any issues. Everyone's loved thier food and a good selection of drinks. Family friendly also. Oh and did iention the beer garden? Yeah it gets the sun all evening and you have a nice little view of the canals.
U. C.
Would highly recommend for their summer BBQ. Booked for a works event (70 people) and the food was amazing and the staff were fantastic.... Very polite and helpful. Atmosphere was great and brilliant play area for the kids
A. A.

Really nice pub located within lovely surroundings
B. H.
Went there on 25/5/19 for a gender reveal and it was a lovely place to have it and food was amazing and well prepared, staff were brilliant and very helpful, always keeping the garden clean not just for us but everyone else. I would definitely recommend anyone to go there even if it's by yourself or as a family or friends. Dont read any bad reviews and put you off I didn't see any faults to put one.
Thankyou guys
T. M. -. Y.
Mezze/tapas sized Italian food is a novel idea. There is a big variety to satisfy veggies and lots for everyone else. You can have everything together or starters first. It's great for sharing and big parties. Around 3 or 4 small dishes will be plenty so it's very reasonably priced. The food comes really fast so it cannot be cooked fresh but you cant beat the price, speed and setting is also pretty with lots of free parking
F. L.
Beautiful food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We spend lots of time here for drinks after work. It's a little expensive but worth it. Food wise, the options are fantastic, always a quick friendly service and we've never had a bad experience with all the time we've spent there.
P. J.
Had some wonderful lunch and drink here after doing some volunteering to paint the lock and fencing just outside it. Friendly staff and nice interior. Comfortable seating outside too.
K. B.
Great food and the staff are so very nice. A lovely place to sit outside as I am a smoker. Only one thing not good is they don't sell coke Cole a part from it's just the best. Xxx
M. D.
This is an excellent riverside pub, particularly on a warm day. V-good selection of beers etc., and food. Dog-friendly inside as well as outside. Recommended.
G. L.
My car broke down tonight in their carpark. I waited in my car for 3 hours as the pub was very busy with my dog to be recovered by a recovery service. I was freezing, so went in the pub to ask for a bowl of water for the dog. Rachel the manager kindly offered me hot coffee, a cookie and a few dog biscuits for the dog. Her kind gesture turned my terrible day into a better one and her customer service was outstanding, she even helped me carry the dog bowl to car, above and beyond, thank you
K. S.
Lovely dog friendly pub with a great pub garden and a beautiful location right next to Watermead Park
C. B.
Nice pub. Sweating inside not great space to sit down impossible on some seats maybe why most were outside. Food good. Ambience very good.
K. E.
A lovely pub if you want something cold and fizzy in close proximity to the river. Real ale and cider drinkers will be disappointed though (only strongbow or bulmers) food is always good but both drinks and food on the more expensive side.
D. P.
We went for Sunday lunch yesterday the food was excellent and special thanks to Ruby for being so nice and friendly. We'll done
A. D.
Good food good price
D. C.
Lovely warm welcome for my husband and I.. Tasty food and back special "doggy bag" of biscuits for our little dog. Nice touch and well appreciated after a long walk around Water mead Country Park. Thanks!
E. W.
Nice beer garden by the river.
c. a.
Great pub, perfect location but the manager needs to go on a customer care course.
M. B.
Came for a meal for my sons 18th birthday, food was lovely and service was brilliant 👏
S. W.
Food was good, plenty of room outside on a sunny day. Busy on a Bank Holiday. Only down side was that despite booking in advance our order had to wait 45+ minutes for the kitchen to catch up.
S. K.
Fantastic food, excellent staff and service, highly recommend.
D. G.
Great food and atmosphere. Better extraction fans in the Loos are required if you are going to place tables that close (kept getting whiffs of toilet freshener mainly I think because a window was open in the Loos and blowing it through)
B. L.
These guys are seriously friendly and fun. We're lucky to have such a quality local where it's clean and tidy, as well as having good beer, wine and food. A lovely beer garden and a good recent refurb. All good.
N. P.
Good food, nice place next to the canal. Staff are always very professional and friendly.
B. M.
Lovely and super well organised pub :) good food and great outside area. 😀
A. H.
Not eaten here but the beers good and there is nice outdoor seating.

Sunday=4 mile in an hour walk to Birstall, couple pints of Moretti, Uber back home. Fan flipping tastic!

C. R.
Lovely Sunday lunch. Great atmosphere. Very pleasant staff. Wholeheartedly recommend this splendid pub. First rate!
N. B.
Love coming in after a walk around Watermead with the dogs. Staff are lovely and always give the dogs a bag of treats. Good selection of food and drinks.
D. D.
This place has good food the staff are friendly. They have an outside area with play section for kids. I also notice they had bowls of water around for dogs. It is by the river Soar, you can see some boats and easily walk down to them. The location is off all main roads so its nice and peaceful away fron traffic noise.

Great local pub, lush beer garden and amazing location next to the canals. Staff are always super lovely, attentive and helpful, just a generally good atmosphere. Never had a bad experience here and this place has fast become my go-to …

The food is not bad and it is very family friendly. However, it just doesn't have a good beer selection nor is it that cheap. The beers are very standard with no guest ales. Fine for the occasional meal out in the sun (it has a good beer garden) but that is it really

There were 13 of us, so to please us all is a big ask. The pub is beautifully situated, slightly awkward getting down the narrow road which thankfully was one way. Absolutely rammed with 20 something age group so we felt quite old! Food very good but service very slow with a long wait between courses.

Lovely location, very picturesque and adjacent to Watermead park which is a nice area to walk or cycle. The garden is large and well maintained. The interior is modern but I found it to be a little to light and airy, almost like a very nice …

Good steak, decent beer, lots of outdoor seating with a view over watermead and table service to top it off.
G. H.
Fillet Steak off the specials board - awesome, beautifully cooked, awesome flavour, simply presented and a pepper sauce to die for. So good a standard table knife was all that was needed - just how it should be - thankyou.
