   Time for a change of menu. It’s spring and menu is unchanged for some time. We ate towards end of lunch service and our food was plonked on table very abruptly. We’ve been very keen for the last year but found today very lack lustre.

   Food was okay. But you ordered items separately and that’s how they came. Fries first, then burgers, then a main course 5 minutes later. I ordered from the sandwich menu and was asked to go to the bar for the menu. My sandwich came wrapped in paper like ordered from a sandwich shop. No garnish at all. My son had finished his burger by the time he was offered any sauce and my husband’s pork arrived, again no garnish and fries already eaten so just a plate of meat. Felt like a snack bar without the snack bar price and an automatic service charge added on top.

   The food was very nice and the location was perfect for the first night of our family mini break. A few more veg options to go with our meal would have been good but overall we all enjoyed our visit to this pub.

   Sunday lunch by 16.30 not recommended. Service slow, potatoes and meat chewy, and looked like someone had been over liberal with the bisto. Unlike our last visit, quite disappointed.

   First time back since the refurbishment. Was initially disappointed at the menu as the previous owners had such a variety of fish dishes to choose from. We ordered the cod scampi (starters) with sides of fries, parsnips & broccoli which were delicious. A pint of Adnams & a Fever Tree tonic came to £50! Not cheap! It was quite nosy & could do with some background music.

   We enjoyed our dinner at the White Horse Holme. We have dined here about a dozen times in the last year. The food is of good quality, the service very attentive and friendly and overall it’s a beautiful and charming pub / restaurant. In the interests of continuous improvement, here are my suggestions. It’s nearly a year since the pub reopened under the ownership of ACI. The menu is now in need of a refresh / update. I am hoping for some new items to be added and more daily specials. It would also be very helpful if the specials could be advertised online each day. The White Horse Holme post every day on social media so why not include the specials? I don’t like the concept of having to order single items, i.e. ordering a pie and then separately having to order mash and vegetables. I would much prefer to order a complete meal, just like you do in most other restaurants. ACI don’t adopt this unusual menu policy at their other pubs so why here at The White Horse Holme? In all other respects The White Horse Holme is great.

    Lovely evening at the White Horse, Megan was very welcoming and the food was delicious. The anniversary cheese cake was a nice touch and much appreciated. The makeover to the venue has been very well done, without losing the original charm of the place. All in all very well worth a visit.
