Harpenden

About the restaurant

The White Horse is a delightful old pub in Hatching Green. Five minutes from the bustling centre of Harpenden on the one hand and Junction 9 of the M1 on the other, the pub has a lovely country setting, surrounded by a large leafy garden and terrace.

The bar is warm and cosy, with old parquet and low beams hung with antique copper jugs, while the dining room is light & fresh, its French windows opening onto a sunny terrace. In our charming private dining room, up a winding stair in the oldest part of the pub, we can comfortably host a dinner party for twelve.

I only discovered this restaurant the night before we visited on Friday 22 November. The weather was very cold but the online images and reviews were very warm! Our overall experience was well worth the 35 mile round trip! From start to finish everything was exceptional! Even the background music was to our taste and at a perfect level. We will definitely be returning and thoroughly recommend this local gem.

Elegant Restaurant with Impeccable Service I recently arranged a surprise event for a friend with a party of 14 on a weeknight. I called the restaurant a few times in the lead up to the meal to arrange pre-orders and venue setup to maximize the likelihood of surprise. It was very easy to reach the restaurant by phone and email, and the staff were very polite. On the night of the event, the restaurant managed to hide my party really well despite being directly in front of the entrance using an elegant wooden panel partition. The restaurant itself had a very stylish and elegant ambience but this was such a thoughtful touch. My friend was very pleasantly surprised. The food was nothing short of phenomenal — each dish was bursting with flavor, beautifully presented and served in generous portions. There were a variety of orders including lamb chops, sea bass and the shish options, but they were all served simultaneously and in a timely fashion. I had the lamb chops which were perfectly cooked and accompanied by the tastiest salads. Looking around the table, everyone really enjoyed their meals and everyone's plates were emptied. The desserts equally impressed as they were as delicious as they were stunning. Our main server, Ilhan, added a special touch of sparklers to our friend's dessert that we sang happy birthday along to for fun, even though it wasn't his birthday! Having been to the restaurant before, I knew the service would be of high standard and they didn't fail to uphold this even for a much bigger group. All the staff were very friendly and they went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. A huge thank you to Ilhan, our main server, who ensured everything went smoothly for a memorable and fun-filled evening. If you're looking for a place that combines exquisite dishes with exceptional service in Hertford, I 100% recommend Veysos. I will definitely be returning in the future.
