Beyton White Horse Inn - Mid Suffolk

We were fortunate to come across this charming pub in a picturesque village when the nearby roads were flooded and we had to stay overnight. The young staff gave us a very warm welcome and provided excellent service. Our spacious and comfortable room (6) was perfect for us and we enjoyed a delicious dinner, particularly the steak pie and the veggie toad in the hole. Unfortunately, a power outage caused by the floods meant we couldn't try the breakfast. We plan to make a stop here for lunch in the future when we are traveling along the A14.

My husband, his sister, brother-in-law, and I dined at this restaurant for two nights as part of a gift experience. Despite some negative reviews, we were pleasantly surprised. The pub is located in a quiet village with a large green and resident geese. It offers a spacious car park, free wifi, and plenty of outdoor seating. Our package included a three-course dinner from the main menu on the first night, which exceeded our expectations in terms of portion size and taste. On the second night, I ordered the lamb madras with rice and naan bread, which was homemade and delicious. The others chose the cottage pie from the specials menu, which was tasty but the portion size was smaller in comparison.

What a fiasco. You couldn 't make it up, talk about Fawlty Towers. I stayed in room 6 this year, after specifically requesting not to stay in room 2 with it 's enormous bright green Fire Exit sign on all night. The nice young lady had some trouble letting me into room 6, the one right at the end of the block, but eventually we got in. Straight away I noticed that the original lock had been replaced and a bodge job had been done. As it was warm I left the door open for a bit. When I wanted a shower, I tried to lock the door from the inside, this proved impossible. So I went to the bar and explained and the nice young lady came back and said that her Dad would be along soon and he would have a look at it. Which he did. I returned the next evening at around 5.30, the pub garden was full, with drinkers seated around 6ft from my front door . I couldn 't get in. Again. I spent an embarrassing 5 10 mins trying, viewed by all of the drinkers outside. Eventually a nice chap offered to come and help. He too tried for ages and said the lock was utterly broken. He didn 't quite use those words though. : Then someone came out from the bar at my request and she literally had to kick the door in to gain access. All of this took place in front of the whole beer garden. On Sunday morning I tried to leave the room, I was unable to. I was locked in. As chance would have it the landlady rang me, to ask what time I wanted breakfast, on telling her of my plight she tried to gain access from outside and failed. Then another lady turned up and she climbed in through the window. Eventually, between them they got the lock open. This took some time. I wonder what would have happened if there had been a fire during the night? Perhaps I should also add that the duvet was torn, the wheel on the bed was broken, so you were sleeping at an odd angle. There was a dried blood stain on the duvet and a rip on the mattress cover. The sofa was very worn. There was black mould on the inside window and on the bath. The toilet seat had been screwed on wonky. I eventually located a wifi charger point, hidden behind the bedside table, but it didn 't work. I requested a discount, given the ridiculous situation with the lock and was offered £50 off a three night stay. Given the amount that is being charged, that was derogatory. She eventually gave me £100 off . with no apology.

I don’t normally write reviews, but i do have to say today i had some amazing food. I had battered fish with chips and all i can say it was amazing the best fish i have had in years. The kitchen staff were polite and friendly and made our family trip at lunch time very special. The food was well presented and looked amazing, and we asked to thank the chef , we was told it was there chef apprentice who is 17years old, all i have to say is wow she done a tremendous job. we will be back and will recommend.

We called in for a cheeky drink in the beer garden area on a rare sunny evening. Didn’t have the best of welcomes at the bar by a young chap with a cold. My husband popped to the loo and said they were the most disgusting toilets he had ever been in-dirty toilets usually means dirty kitchen! Lots of trip hazards to the garden with very uneven block paving (accident waiting to happen) cheap tacky plastic chairs and tables-not dissimilar to the clientele on our visit! Young lad spitting all over the place with the foulest of language, he looked like he resides in the first outdoor guest room. Avoid staying near that room if you want peace and quiet during your stay! All in all an awful visit which will not be repeated.
