Nice pub but could be so much better for a small village! Food was great but for a midweek meal it did seemed expensive!

After being let down by another restaurant we decided to come to the White Horse and what an amazing place! The pub and restaurant was warm and the staff were so welcoming. We had a three course Christmas meal and were so amazed by the portion sizes, the gravy was the best I've ever tasted. The pork belly fell apart and was expertly cooked to perfection and even came with crackling! My partner had the turkey which was moist and full of flavour. We bravely went for pudding and the homemade crumble was no exception to how good the food had been. The bar staff were very well presented and attentive without being pushy. They even had a good chat with the locals which is really lovely to see and adds to the welcoming atmosphere. We couldn't recommend this little traditional pub enough and cannot wait to go again!

We have been to the White Horse to celebrate my dads 80th birthday. Gemma was really helpful in sorting this out, there were 19 of us and everyone was really impressed with their food. Everyone was saying they will definitely be making a return visit, this really is an amazing hidden gem. The restaurant doors open out on to the lovely beer garden.

It was great to be back at the White Horse enjoying a meal inside the new dining area. We have watched the building works progress whIlst picking up takeaways throughout the lockdowns then enjoying hospitality in the beer garden as restrictions eased. We have looked forward to sitting inside the new room and on Friday evening we made our first visit and we were not disappointed. The room has a lovely atmosphere, comfortable and relaxing fitted out to a very high level. While enjoying a lager and local bitter (Vixen) we browsed over the new menu which contained some old favourites which we enjoy at the White Horse and also new dishes which gives us another excuse or two to visit soon. The service as always was first class and always with a smile. Well done to everyone, we will be back very soon.

Visited for the first time as 2 adults and 2 young children on a Saturday evening. We sat outside in the lovely garden and ordered from the specials menu - 2 mains from the specials board and a bottle of wine for £29.99. There were abput 8 choices of meal and they all sounded delicious, but we opted for asian style ribs with chips and salad, and lambs liver, mash, mushy peas and gravy. Both were homemade and cooked fresh and were so tasty! The ribs had so much meat on them that fell off the bone, and the lambs liver took me back! Pub is very quaint inside and the staff very friendly and accomodating. We are tempted to come back for Sunday lunch tomorrow!

Having visited the White Horse frequently over the last couple of years and always having been served good food in a nice friendly atmosphere it was an ideal choice of venue to hold my retirement celebration meal for 27 friends and colleagues sitting in the function suite which is adjacent to the pub, Gemma and Charles put together a special menu in advance enabling us to get pre-orders, making it clear that anything could be tweaked for any special dietary needs. Nothing was too much trouble. On the night the weather was perfect and we were able to all meet up in the beer garden for drinks accompanied by the bells from the church next door before we sat down for dinner where Gemma and her team excelled themselves with the fantastic service provided and of course the superbly cooked food. After eating we were able to re convene in the beer garden for chatter and after dinner drinks. Most of the folks attending had not been to the White Horse before but after the meal I heard several of them say that they would be back with their respective partners/families because they had enjoyed their meal so much. My husband and I were so pleased how the evening went which is thanks to everyone at the White Horse. It made a perfect evening and we totally enjoyed ourselves. Seagrave is a few miles drive for us but the White Horse is one of the best pubs in the area, making the drive worthwhile at any time of the year. We will be back soon

Whilst the food on offer is varied and interesting the service is not upto par. On a recent visit the waitress was unattentive and at one point sat and ate her food behind the bar at around 8pm while we waited on being served!! There was no other customers in the restaurant at the time but still not good a practice.

My family and I went on a nice walk from barrow to seagrave. We visited this lovely looking pub in a very nice position nice and clean and well presented. The pub said last orders were at 13.45. We arrived at the bar at 13.35 pleased we had made it in time to order. The barmaid made no effort to hide her annoyance that we wanted to order food or drinks even though were within time. She said we would have to be quick and depends on what we wanted. As we made very rushed decisions she kept huffing and glancing at the clock. We ordered three sandwiches and three bowls of chips and sat in the pub garden. The food followed very quickly with very underdone chips. There was another table of people and a wedding party followed after we had been served. She made a remark about wishing the 10 if so wedding guests weren't coming in. Half way through eating the chef stormed out from the back before closing time. As she was clearing the table she kept reminding us that it was closing soon. We felt very unwelcome and uncomfortable. We had one round of drinks and ate our food quickly. The food was overpriced unfortunately. Bottom line service was disappointing and if you want people to leave at 2 dont stop serving food fifteen minutes before and be miserable about it. Either take last orders earlier and just apologise food cant be served at this time. In any pub or restaurant you should be allowed to eat your food without being pressured to leave.

El White Horse es un lugar estupendo para una bebida o una comida. Situado en el idílico pueblo poco de Seagrave, el pub es muy acogedor. Hay un aparcamiento de un buen tamaño. El menú es bastante variado, de todo, desde carne y chip para curries y platos italianos. Toda la comida recién hecha. El servicio es amable y rápido. Siempre hay cervezas en oferta, agradable y la carta de vinos es buena también. Organizan varias noches especiales - que son todos una excelente relación calidad-precio. Por ejemplo, Martes es de £6. 95 noche y puedes conseguir Pollo y jamón tagliatelle o pescado y patatas fritas. Las raciones son generosas. Son especialmente buenos en la comida tradicional inglesa como pastel de carne con cerveza. Lo único negativo es que no hay siempre mucho para vegetarianos con el menú de especialidades, por lo tanto, la calificación de 4 estrellas, la comida. Si vas para las ofertas especiales, entonces este es un pub relación calidad-precio. Si opta por el menú principal, sigue siendo una buena relación calidad-precio, con platos con una media de entre £10 - 12. El menú de postres es extensa y siempre ofrece una variedad de platos clásicos, como pegajosas, o más ligeros pizcas opciones, tales como tortas de esponja y helado. El ambiente es muy agradable. El pub parece estar en un edificio protegido de vigas genuina, etc. Este sería un buen lugar para traer a los visitantes que buscan una experiencia clásico pub inglés.

Me encanta Tapas y estaba deseando probar los platos en su noche de tapas en un miércoles.Llegamos a las 7 de la tarde y el restaurante ya estaba bastante lleno, lo que me tomó como una buena señal.Había 2 de nosotros, así que elegimos la oferta de tapas, aproximadamente £22 por 6 platos, añadí anchoas en escabeche, pan yel paquete tenía, pescaditos enteros fritos fritos,salchichas whitebait tradicional pueblo español en salchichasAlitas Fritas con salsa de hierbas - alas de pollo en un 2.56 pimentón ahumado,Papas a lo Pobre, patatas fritas con ajo y pimientosAlbondigas albóndigas de ternera y cerdo, en salsa de tomateestofado de Gnósticos estuvieronla elección sonaba tentadora de cerdo y pedimos una botella de vino blanco mientras esperábamos.Por desgracia, la expectativa no está a la altura de la realidad. El Español tradicional salchicha fue nada de la clase. Fue una salchicha de desayuno inglés cubierto de un poco de salsa de tomate un herby verdadera decepción. Las albóndigas no eran hechas en el lugar, fueron aquellos que tipo de albóndigas densa comprar en Aldi y terminan dando al perro.

Mi plato favorito era el pickled anchoas - y no se cocinar sirviendo desde el puede/tarro! !Las porciones eran grandes, y envasados por la sobras que hizo el perro feliz.Le voy a volver? Con estas normas, no, si quieres llenar bastante barata y no están realmente preocupados por la experiencia española y luego ir aquí. Total 45 libras por dos bebidas.Como algo positivo, el personal era acogedor, y la cerveza es buena y variada (desde una visita anterior).

Había reservado una mesa para 6 personas para un jueves almuerzo (en realidad estábamos los únicos en el restaurante pequeño!) pero reserva por teléfono me dio la oportunidad de mencionar que soy celiaco y por lo tanto sin gluten. Todo está preparado a pedido muchas cosas pueden ser sin gluten bajo petición, que incluso compró en algunos bollos de pan sin gluten. Teníamos 3 entrantes, 6 platos principales y 2 postres y todo estaba muy bien preparada y presentada. Nuestra comida incluida, 6 pintas de cerveza, 2 vasos de vino y 2 refrescos y era menos de £100 en total, que creo que es bastante normal en estos días. El camarero/camarera era extremadamente atento y cortés, y nada era demasiado problema. El White Horse es un pequeño pueblo con una zona de bar, restaurante y una amplia zona de jardín, en un entorno precioso. Si realmente tenía que haber una queja sería que nuestra mesa para 6 personas es un poco estrecha, toparse con el codo y todo eso, estoy seguro, ya que no hubo otros comen si me había pedido que nos cambiaron a 2 mesas, pero nos las apañamos bien. No dudaría en recomendar este pub para el almuerzo, menú de noche de buena pinta. Recomendaría reservar sólo en el caso porque el restaurante es pequeño.

Went here a few months ago and had a tapas meal and was quite nice. Today we arrived just after 2.00pm for Sunday lunch having walking a good 2 miles to do so. We ordered our a pint of bitter, a Diet Coke and water for my youngest. We asked for a table for 3, only to be told they stopped serving food at 2pm. After looking at the menu on the bar, it said last meals were to be ordered by 2-15. I then pointed it out and the lady went through to the kitchen and came back with... "It depends what you would like to order". We felt it was all a little embarrassing by this point so we declined to order food. I sat and drank my pint of Cumberland which was a well kept pint of real ale. My daughter drank hers and the Diet Coke was left behind the bar which I pointed out as I went to pay. We left at 2.25 and the couple on the next table were still waiting for their food. Very strange set up. If they wished to close at 2 they should change the details on the internet and on the menu. My 2 stars would have been 4 on our last visit but I would mark our experience at a zero this time.

My husband and I visited for our Sunday lunch using the Groupon voucher. I feel that the idea of these offers is to show your business off and encourage return visits. However the choice on the menu was very limited. We opted for the brisket meal and fish and chips. The fish was very small and batter soggy. Chips not brilliant. The beef dinner was nothing to write home about with only some frozen peas for veg. Pudding was slightly better. The service was excellent and for that reason wouldn't complain. I think they need to get their act together and probably get rid of the chef!

Set in the idyllic Leicestershire village of Seagrave, not far from Leicester, this original inn, next to All Saints Church (dating from Saxon times) is the quintessential old-fashioned coaching inn. The dining room is cozy, not large, and you must book a table in advance.There is ample parking and an attractive garden for alfresco drinks or dining.Service is friendly and guests are made to feel at home right away.The food is of excellent quality and freshly cooked. There is a variety of "proper" pub food on offer: steak and ale pie, whitebait, homemade soup, pate and bread amongst the best we have ever had. Prices are not expensive by todays standards.If you are looking for a quiet, tasty meal away from loud music, where you can enjoy your meal or just a drink in lovely surroundings and have a decent conversation, this is the one I would highly recommend. We will certainly be returning in the near future!

We saw this on groupon and as we live not far away decided to try it. This is a small country pub which is basically 2 areas. A bar and an eating area. It's a nice place and the staff were helpful. The food however was a bit of a let down. If the idea of groupon is to showcase your premises and encourage people to return it didn't work for us. The groupon menu was small and the deal was main and sweet. As we didn't fancy any of the 4 sweets on offer we opted for a starter instead. These were ok but bumped the price of the "deal" up considerably. There were a number of basic mistakes. The salmon starter should have come with horseradish. It came with mustard which did not go at all. As one of us does not like a lot of gravy we asked for it to come separately. It didn't. The meal was swimming in it. The Yorkshire pudding was so heavy it was inedible. I was assured that the steak pie came with short crust pastry. It didn't. It came with soggy pastry akin to a fray bentos pie! I know we could have complained but sending food back is always worrying! The pub has theme nights most of the week and perhaps these are better. If you go for the 2 for £16 menu just don't expect too much after all you can't get much for £8 these days.

I had never heard of this little gem. Really impressed with the standard of food which was excellent value. I never eat pie, but thought I would gamble and go for it so had the steak and ale pie which was gorgeous. Others in the group had fish or faggots, all plates went back clean. Crumble, lemon sponge and ginger cake with custard all resulted in clean plates too. Staff are really friendly and helpful, and food is very reasonably priced. One of our party had an unexpected medical emergency. Megan who had served the meal contacted the emergency services, stayed calm throughout the whole situation and provided assistance as necessary. We will certainly be back as often as possible and just wish this was our local. Well done Megan.

We went to this restaurant not knowing what to expect. We were very pleasantly surprised. We started off with braised beef and steak pie. Both very good, with plenty o both vegetables and meat.We then went on to the sweets, my husband had Chocolate Fudge Cake, and I had Orchard fruit Crumble, they were both excellent, I have never had a crumble like it, so full o fruit, even strawberries.The waitress service was very good, and we will go there again.

My wife and I started with prawn cocktail at £7.50 each which we thought was very expensive until the plates arrived. They were full of small and large prawns beautifully presented with a small salad and a bread roll and butter. Top price for a top starter. One main was faggots, mash and mushy peas which was very nice but I thought overpriced at £10.95, the other main was fish, chips and mushy peas which again was very nice but the fish was a bit small inside its batter coat considering the price was £11.95. Two sweets were also very nice.In general the meal was well presented by very pleasant and friendly staff although there was a considerable delay between ordering and the meal arriving.Would I go there again? Probably not as the high prices put a damper on what was otherwise a very enjoyable meal. They do however have meal deals which are more attractively priced which would make a further visit a distinct possibility.

We went with friends for an evening out and enjoyed the cosy restaurant setting, the food and the service. A lovely menu with enough variety to please us all, though I would have liked more vegetables.prices were reasonable, I have paid a lot more and been disappointed elsewhere! I was not disappointed here though!

my husband and I visited after being given a Groupon voucher as a present. Easy to book, lady on the phone was very helpful. The pub is small, 2 rooms in which to eat and we were seated in the smaller of the 2 which meant diners were sitting quite close to each other. The Groupon offer was 2 courses from a limited menu so not much choice but it was still good value. The dishes we picked (1 burger, 1 fish both with chunky chips) were very well cooked - they tasted good, fresh and hot and the sweet (orchard crumble) was delicious. The service was good, professional and attentive. The Groupon deal achieved it's purpose as I would eat here again and choose from the normal menu.

We went here on a Friday night using a groupon deal. We were very impressed with the wonderful friendly service and beautiful fresh home cooked food. The steak and ale pie was packed with quality tender beef with lovely gravy and rustic home cooked chips. The orchard crumble is not to be missed! Will be returning for sure.

Visited the White Horse in Seagrave today and was very impressed. We took advantage of a groupon deal they advertised 2 courses for 2 people for £16. I have the Brisket which the meat was really tasty and presented really well. I also decided (being extra hungry) I would have a side of cheesey garlic bread which tasted fantastic. A simple but tasty desert finished of proceedings very well watered down with a cold refreshing pint of Kronenberg. Would certainly return again.

Our first visit to the White Horse for a very long time, proved to be a success. Very good food, served with a smile together with a pleasant atmosphere, made this family lunchtime very enjoyable.

Went for lunch with my son. He chose the sirloion steak with pepper sauce. He said that it "tasted" homemade and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had one of the specials for that day, fish and chips with mushy peas. Was lovely. Service was attentive but not overpowering. really warm welcome. wish we had had room for pudding but maybe next time!

We visited this pub back in the summer when the tapas nights were on and really enjoyed it. We heard that they had started an Italian night in place of this and decided to give it a try. I'm so glad we did as we thoroughly enjoyed it! My partner and I tried the chicken tagliatelle and the spagetti and meatballs and they were both fantastic. We also had the homemade garlic bread which was to die for!! The food and drinks were reasonably priced and we do enjoy the quiet of the pub itself. (Also a lovely area if you fancy a walk around before or after your dinner)

Went for sunday lunch on the 26th, so nice to go to a proper pub, great staff, good beer and best of all was the food cooked by Charlie the chef, the beef was fantastic with plenty of fresh veg. Its a real treat to go and eat in a place like this. Will be back. Keep up the hard work and thanks for a great Sunday lunch.

As is so often the case with TripAdvisor, the people who fancy a whinge can't wait to unload on here. Take the less positive reviews on here with a pinch of salt, if you grant them any credence at all.The fact is that the White Horse has a veritable army of locals and regulars who cannot get enough of the food that Charles (the regular chef who, by the way, is allowed to go on holiday occasionally) prepares. The philosophy of the kitchen is one of seasonal local food, freshly prepared. The end result is a mix of hearty British food and special nights from around the world when the ingredients lend to it. As a case in point, my wife and I had a special meal prepared for us for an engagement photo shoot and Charles pulled out all the stops to make us a phenomenal meal.If nothing else, I hope this review can speak for those who visit the White Horse every day and have a great meal - as opposed to the odd few with a gripe.

This pub has been known to us for many years and it was a pleasure when a close friend invited myself and another friend to have supper there. We arrived and the table had been reserved in the bar area. The pub had undergone a redecoration as in a lick of paint and was tastfully done out. The food was horribly disappointing. My friend and I ordered the cod and chips as a special for £5.95. You get what you pay for - but this was vile. Frozen deep fried cheap battered fish that had grey flesh. chips ok, cool (as in not quite stone cold) peas. They had advertised their special midweek meals as tasty home cooked food. Fell far short. Even the wine was room temp - ok if red but definately not for white! Go again? I don't think so! Shame really as it is in a lovely little village. But it was sadly lacking in both atmosphere and their idea of good food was laughable, cheap and nasty. With a little more thought and a half decent cook it could be a really fab place. If they can't be bothered with a decent 'special' menu then they shouldn't do it.

We had booked for 7pm for 4 people and arrived at that time.We were shown our table and we ordered drinks. By 7.20 we had ordered our starters and main course. The starters arrived within about 10-15 mins, garlic bread.At 8.40 after one other couple had given up I asked what was the hold-up? I was advised that the pub had a party of 50 in another room and there was only an agency staff chef on duty.This young lady was very apologetic. Our meals eventually arrived. The pulled pork was cool, Two of us had ordered this. The lamb came bleeding, not just rare. Not edible for that person. The lamb was taken away and eventually came back rare, still not as requested. We decided to leave. We were charged less than half the bill but that was not going to change our view of the whole experience.My suggestion would be that if the pub knew it had problems then to advise customers and give them the choice of going elsewhere at a reasonable time.A thoroughly awful evening that we had taken our visitors to.Never again!

Stopped at this lovely village pub for Sunday lunch, Rib of beef (£12.50) was uneatable very tough,peas were cool, carrots hard and the Yorkshire dripped oil. (and had a soggy bottom). We had to complain and were told they had a relief chef on and would reduce the bill . still charged £12.50 for one roast beef ( not the cheapest place to eat) . Have eaten here before at night and have always had a reasonable meal. very disappointed today that we were charged at all . Our lunch ruined a lovely morning out.

This place was the perfect country pub to spend a relaxing hour or two dining and enjoying some light evening conversation. Thankfully NOT a gastropub, but a genuine honest proper old fashioned British pub - and a hidden gem I suspect.I've been meaning to pop into the White Horse for literally years (living as I do a mile down the road) but had totally failed. So the Wife and I decided that we'd go and try them out as a change from me being chained to the kitchen sink. Tonight (Thursday) was steak & specials night, and while I had a rump steak, Mrs Gaz had the grilled lamb. To say that the meat we were served was excellent was an understatement; the steak (medium-rare) was cooked to perfection and almost melted in my mouth. The accompaniments were splendid too - freshly cooked hand made chips and tasty peas. It wasn't busy, but there were enough people in eating in the snug little restaurant side of the pub to give it both a relaxed and welcomed atmosphere; and along with the warm welcome from the barmaid made the whole experience one we'll be repeating a little more often now. Perhaps the only downside was the bottle of wine we had bundled with the meal - we weren't able to drink it all (lightweights!), but thankfully it had a screwtop so we took it home to finish off later.

Decided at last minute to go for a bite to eat somewhere local to us - so we ended up at the White Horse. It was a really hot day so most people were sitting outside but we decided to eat indoors. The staff were very friendly and the beer (Cumberland) was most acceptable. The menu was pub grub type food - I ordered a steak and my wife had lambs liver and bacon. Both were ample portions and cooked very well. The only thing we didn't like was that the locals got preferential treatment at the bar and we were made to wait before ordering our food. You only become a regular if you are treated equally with everyone else. Other than that - it was a very pleasant experience.

We had Sunday lunch which was 'OK' but not really hot. The meals were presented on the plate rather than them bringing the veg on a separate dish. (In the kitchen they should first put the veg on a covered dish in the oven, then assemble the protein on the plate, bring the plate to the table then the veg which will thus be piping hot). The ale was fine; again nothing special, and the price was realistic. We wouldn't detract from visiting again but wouldn't go out of our way. There are better pubs just off the A46.
