We visited The White Horse pub on a number of occasions, as we really like the overall ambience. I decided to treat my wife and I to a festive meal. We ordered drinks, and the main course was brought out. It only came to mind later, but they did not ask how I wanted my steak. I was going to wait a little while for the pudding, but when I visited the toilet and came back, the pudding was there. The food was wonderful, and even though I have highlighted some issues, we will be going back
