The White Horse - Bristol, City of

I loved the White Horse during my time living in Westbury on Trym for a year in 2020/2021, so much that we were going there almost every week, because of the high quality, delicious food with interesting twists and very professional and nice staff. I was looking forward to visiting again after moving back to Bristol, and could not be more disappointed. The food is now average. The Sunday roast I ordered was generous in portion but only ok in taste. The sweet potato mash was watery, the nut loaf did not taste of nuts, and the roasted potatoes were very hard. The staff is nice, but definitely not trained to the level of the team under previous ownership. We booked a table for 2pm, but our reservation was written down as 1pm, and we ended up in a dark room at the back with no windows. I saw the person on the bar picking up ice cubes with their hand and putting it in a glass and then proceeding to pour customers' drinks. It was not terrible, but I won't come back.

The only place we could get a table for Sunday roast, and we were pleasantly surprised . Good value and tasty food, friendly stuff and nice atmosphere

The White Horse became my favourite local restaurant. The staff is friendly and has great service, the food is gorgeous, and the wine selection is various. Highly recommended.

Food still very good and reasonable price. Cheesy garlic bread was really well done. Staff extremely attentive and very welcoming. Portions were sizeable. We had starter and main and were totally stuffed. Sauteed potatoes were excellent. Only minor negative was that the service wasn't particularly quick for the food. Not an issue for us, and possibly would be different on a other day.

Booked a roast for 4 people confirmed they had two meats available, only had 3pm available so waited, and drove back from town for the meal to arrive and be told they’ve got none left. So Waited for hours and drove across town to be left with no Sunday roast and everywhere else fully booked. Won’t bother trying to book again to be let down.
