About The White Horse

On High St in Bedfordshire, The White Horse is a gastropub serving comfort food classics. Sunday roast dinners come with sides such as Yorkshires and vegetables. The pub opens daily and takes walk-ins rather than reservations. A heated patio and garden extend the seating beyond the main room. Beyond regular dining, the property hosts weddings and private events across a barn, stables, garden, and function room, with staff coordinating setup and food packages for those bookings.

Customer Review Summary

Sunday roasts draw the most consistent praise, with reviewers citing generous portions, large Yorkshires, and good meat and veg, while the honey halloumi and a rib eye with garlic mushrooms and onion rings also earn individual mentions. Weddings and private functions held in the barn and function room come up repeatedly as standout experiences, with organizers singled out for making planning smooth and food described as incredible, including canapés and a dessert station. Against this, several diners report a decline: one recounts a Valentine's set menu where choices ran out, mains and cheesecake arrived cold, and a dessert sharer was too small; another describes a burned butternut squash Wellington and a melted Knickerbocker Glory needing replacement, with a curt response from staff; a further visit found breaded mushrooms served without garnish, chips only lukewarm, and an automatically added service charge. Positive visits mention fifteen-minute food turnaround and friendly outdoor service.

    “Came along with family. Didn’t realise I had booked this pub thought I had booked another (lucky mistake) But was pleasantly surprised when we pulled up. The atmosphere was lovely, really nice outside area. The staff were friendly . We sat outside and the waitress explained that it wasn’t table service and you order food at the bar as only table service inside, that was absolutely fine. Our food was out with in 15 minutes of ordering.very good value for money, not expensive at all. The honey halloumi was really yummy. We will definitely be back to try one of the roast dinners !!”

    “We recently had our wedding at The White Horse in their stables and garden. Louise, Kisha & the team worked tirelessly to ensure our day ran smoothly. We had a couple meetings in the months running up to the day to plan the finer details. The food was absolutely incredible which we had so many compliments on it, including the canapés, an Italian buffet and a dessert station. The Pimms and Peroni cocktail hour was a big hit. All our decor was set up for us and they relieved plenty of stress so we wouldn’t have to worry. I would highly recommend this venue for an event.”

    “Had a lovely Sunday roast. Portions were generous, with large Yorkshires, and lovely meat and veg. Staff were lovely, especially the lady who greeted us and great service. Lovely atmosphere inside and out and a great setting. Really made a day out after visiting nearby Shuttleworth museum.”

    “Had been out for the day and called in late afternoon for a meal. Absolutely delicious 😋 . Chose rib eye, with a side of garlic mushrooms, Diane sauce and onion rings. Apple pie for pud. All very tasty. Steak tender and perfectly cooked. Wonderful end to our lovely day out.”
  • Clive Berry
    “Second visit but was disappointing as not such a good experience as first. Pate starter served with flat bread and not as advertised on menu. Breaded mushrooms literally that with garlic dip and no garnish or salad. Long time between starter and main being served. Fish and chips only warm when received. Burger and chips: burger fine but chips also only warm. Bill presented with optional service charge included as a starting point. You have to decline if you don't want to pay. Not the way it should be. Good service will attract good rewards.”
