  “Popped in for a late lunch - 2.15pm as we were in the area. Food was a big disappointment. Had to wait nearly half an hour for our meals. Table next to us had an equally long wait. The salmon fish cake I ordered was very dry and I believe made with tinned salmon which does not justify the price at all. Breadcrumb coating was so hard I could barely cut through it with my knife. The hubby’s fish finger sandwich was ok but nothing to rave about. The restaurant did give us complimentary chips for the long wait at which point I should’ve addressed the issue about the fish cake, but didn’t bother as we already waited quite a while for our food to arrive and I didn’t think there was much they could do to improve on the quality of it apart from replacing it with something else. We used to frequent this restaurant in the past but have not been back for a while so we were disappointed to find that the food standards have slipped. Won’t be returning anytime soon.”

  “Atmosphere is wonderful, the bar is cozy, and (happily for this American) they have a decent Kentucky Bourbon in stock. Delicious bourbon old fashioneds, will be sure to visit again the next time I'm in Harpenden.”

  “Tonight was a bad night . I think the cook / chef has changed . Scotch eggs had a crust that was like armour . The fish from fish and chip meal was soggy and under cooked , had lumps in it . The seafood dish. Medallions of sea trout and halibut was lukewarm warm . With 3 pieces of trout and 1 inch of halibut. Not appealing at all .when asked how his food was I said ok to which I had no follow up . Wong be coming back for a while either . Need to sort the door out Tom as freezing when people leave open . Such a shame”

  “I'd give The White Horse six stars if I could. We came here for dinner one evening recently, Jozef took care of us from start to finish, talking us through the menu and drinks, answering all my pedantic questions about how things were served! The food was first rate, the menu offered up loads to choose from, the staff and service were superb and the place itself - particularly outdoors - is perfectly located and really pleasant. We will be going again soon.”

  “Fantastic meal last night to celebrate my Son-in-Law's birthday. Food was excellent and our waiter was superb. Brilliant service. Nothing was too much and he certainly kept my young Dad entertained! Beautiful evening, so we sat outside. Highly recommend.”

  “Went out for a birthday meal with the family. Food was alright, not the best. A lot of mistakes with each course. The starters took 40 minutes to come to our table. Understand there was 7 of us but the restaurant was barely busy. The mains and the desserts then both took 30 minutes. The staff were really pleasant and nice, they apologised and knocked off some of the food. This was highly appreciated. Wouldn’t be rushing back for food. Drinks were good, prices were decent. They did a really nice birthday plate but the plate was frozen so it made the sticky toffee pudding really cold.”

  “Plenty of parking available on site. Service was really good and friendly - we were made to feel really welcomed. Highly recommended the soup, which was made really well. A good choice of desserts - nicely finished the meal off”

  “Very nice pub and restaurant. Food is pretty good all round. Some dishes I find to be quite small and probably a little overpriced. Loads of seating both inside and out, with little pockets everywhere. Service is very good - overly friendly maybe. Overall, a great place. Recommend for a nice meal and a place to drink at.”

  “My partner and I had a lovely meal here this evening, the starters and main dishes were delicious and came out quickly. All staff were friendly and polite. We will definitely be returning to try something else on the menu. Thank you!”

  “Went for a dinner on A Friday night ( better to book in advance for high demand days). The service was great so as food: really enjoyed the beef pie and desserts. Chicken schnitzel was ok ( nothing wrong- just a normal chicken schnitzel). Want to come back for breakfast. Not too expensive and good food and service.”
