We went to the White Horse for Sunday lunch today and I would say the roast was the best I have had out for a long time. The meat was excellent and the yorkshire puddings nice and soft as they should be. The cost was approx £25 per head for 3 courses with wine. We will definitely be going back... More

We stayed at the White Horse for 2 nights over the bank holiday weekend with our 2 dogs. All the staff were friendly and attentive and Clare was lovely, they were very accomodating to ours and the dogs needs. The food was always really tasty, nicely presented and very prompt, there was also plenty to choose from on the breakfast... More

Booked recently for Sunday lunch, not having been for some time. Looked forward to seeing how the new owners had changed things. On arrival we were shown to our reserved table in what was essentially the bar area and we were promptly offered drink (always a good sign). The furnishings were a definite improvement on our previous visit. We chose... More

We visited the White Horse with friends for Sunday lunch which was very disappointing. We asked to see a wine list which never appeared so we had to ask again and by the time the wine arrived we had finished eating. Also there were tables being sprayed with some sort of cleaning fluid adjacent to where we were eating. Will... More

Ate ( on spur of the moment ) 27th April. Hadn't booked and lots of reserved tables but helpful staff found us a table for 2 straight away. New management have revamped the place-nice decor but still pub-like :-) Staff were very friendly and service was prompt and polite. Food was delicious (steak and ale pie and the 'special' venison)... More

Recently, 4 of us met for lunch at the White Horse. We were warmly welcomed by Clare, mine hostess, and shown to our table. As we are all gentlemen of leisure, we decided to "push the boat out" and go for the a\ la carte menu! We enjoyed a pre- lunch drink, followed by starters, main courses and coffees. I... More

I though I would do a reconaissance as I had heard that the White Horse Empingham was under new ownership. With previous visits to the last owners it an pleasant visit and management were totally unhelpful. Because of that we never returned. Now on the first day, of a newly refurbished White Horse Inn I entered and found a completely... More

Steve & Clare turned out to be excellent hosts to our AJM. We had lunch, dinner, stayed the night and we were impressed by the overall standard that they had set. There is a welcoming atmosphere about the place, food is very much a cut above pub grub and the service is good. Our room was presented well, warm, comfortable,... More

Visited with Groupon Deal - wasn't sure what to expect after seeing previous reviews. Staff - we found them to be very friendly and helpful. Room - this was the downside, our room was in the main building and to be honest it smelled old and musty as we walked up the stairs and I dreaded going in the room.... More
