At The Exmoor White Horse Inn

The venison pie, which is actually more like a casserole with a pastry lid, was generously filled, tender, and flavorful. The whole trout was also quite good. However, the vegetables were overcooked and the chips were greasy. The bar service was friendly but slow, and the table service was a bit abrupt. Overall, it's not worth making a special trip for, but it's decent if you happen to be in the area.

The restaurant service and food is of a very high standard. As a Coeliac sufferer and needing a gluten free diet, I was amazed at the scope and range of dining options on offer. All staff were well versed in allergy needs and the menu was clearly defined as to what foods and dishes were available to the gluten free diner. We will definately return to the White horse inn at Exford, if only for their excellent restaurant...Superb.

This restaurant is not even close to the quality of the Crown, which is also located in the village. The pub food here is very average, with boring and tasteless chips and poor presentation. The overall quality of the food is not up to par, especially when compared to the Crown. The venison pie and lamb chops were just okay, but I believe we should expect better quality here. The building and atmosphere are lovely for grabbing a pint, but the food is overall disappointing.

Not as good as the Crown in the same village. We both ordered pate as a starter, but the portion was small and there wasn't enough for the toast. The pate was dry and the toast was even drier. My husband thought his steak was just average, and the chips seemed to be frozen rather than homemade. I had the mushroom stroganoff, which was okay but not amazing. Unfortunately, most other dishes on the menu were fried or came with chips, so there wasn't much choice for those of us who prefer to avoid fried food.

We've just returned from another lovely holiday in Exmoor, and we've eaten at The White Horse every night of our trip. We ate in the Bar the first evening, and even though there was a large party in, service was still quick and the meals were all great. In the restaurant, the staff were all lovely and efficient, and the food was incredible. Our favourite meals were the Pork Belly, the Duck, and the Venison, all amazing! The carvery on Sunday was also just what we needed to warm us up on a chilly October evening. We'd definitely recommend to anyone in the area, and can't wait to go back ourselves!

Our recent weekend stay here was excellent. We ate in the bar on our first evening very busy and lively and in the restaurant on our second. Both meals were freshly prepared and very enjoyable and the choice of beers and wines on offer was really good. Service throughout the hotel was first class, especially when my husband suddenly became ill and the staff did everything they could to help us cooking food especially for him and delivering it to our room at no extra charge. The Inn is very well presented with attractive interior decor, wall art and furnishings reflecting the building's history. Altogether a terrific base from which to Explore lovely Exmoor. Trudy W

This is an extremely rare poor review from me. We went for a Sunday carvery and although the food was okay the staff were not. The chef who served us at the carvery was friendly and familiar with locals but was quiet bordering on rude to us. He failed to warn my elderly mother that the plates were VERY hot until he had passed hers to her meaning that she dropped it on the counter. He then pointed out the inadequate napkins but did not apologise or ask after her scalded hand. He did the same thing when he came out into the restaurant jovial with those he clearly knew well and short with us. The bar staff were better but not exactly welcoming, as were the waiting staff. It totally spoiled what...

I have now reached the 56 year mark and after the time I have had since April I value every day far more than I did and take each day as it comes and expect to be taken as I am by others. In all my visits to Exmoor with my parents when I was growing up and when I returned back down with my lovely wife and various dogs over the years we have never been in the White Horse. As we were staying at Court Farm in Snowdrop we took the chance on a filthy night to venture in to the bar at the White Horse. I really liked the set up=looked like church or chapel pews and plenty of country pictures and items on the walls-how it should be. The gentleman serving says Mark on the receipt was a lovely gent pl...

First of all I must just say that the Staff were impeccable, very polite and efficient.. The setting in the Bar is traditional Stag hunting, Country village on Exmoor decor.. The males toilets were interesting to say the least, Urinals made out of stainless steel milk pales, with handles still attached, all spotlessly clean and well maintained.. The important part of the review, the Bar menu.. We ordered two 8oz Sirloin 28 day hung steak, one medium rare, one well done.. with a brandy and cream sauce. The seasonal vag was undercooked and then over microwaved, carrots raw and rubbery, frozen peas, new potatoes were nuked, which sucked the moisture from them.. Nothing was seasoned or mounted....
