At The Exmoor White Horse Inn

The White Horse is lovely. I have never stayed at the hotel but have used the Pub/Restaurant a few times. The food is very good and there was something to appeal to everybody. The chicken nuggets my kids had were proper peices of chicken, so good I could almost have ordered them for myself, but the steak and ale pie was more tempting.My only resevation is having to order drinks at the bar, make sure you have everything you need before your food arrives. The bar is usually quite busy and when we where there the service was slow. Its a shame to have to stand at the bar for a long time while your family eat and your food gets cold.

Went away with friends on our motorbikes. The Old Inn is very nicely looked after and given modern touches without intruding in its history. The pub is a very noisy and lively place full of fun and laughter. Locals and visitors mingle very well. We arrived on Friday and had a bite to eat and a cream tea after our long ride. We had booked a table in the restaurant for dinner on Saturday. The food was delicious, the staff/owners were very helpful and accommodating. Definitely going back.

Booked a meal at the White Horse for a Sunday evening whilst staying in Exford. I had read the reviews about the carvery on Trip Adviser was really looking forward to it.Our table was booked for 6.30pm. With hindsight this was probably a mistake. We walked into an extremely busy bar with a queue of people waiting to be served. When we eventually got to the front of the queue, a very pleasant member of staff took us to our table. He informed us that we would have to order our food at the bar once we had made our food choice, therefore having to queue again.I had the carvery, my partner the ham egg chips. The latter dish was very good, great quality ham and well cooked chips. My carvery however was very disappointing. The beef and pork on offer were both lovely. The vegetables not great. The only green vegetable on offer was frozen peas , the carrots, potatoes and cauliflower cheese were average at best, the Yorkshire puddings were frozen shop bought, for the price of the carvery I would have expected home made. In my opinion I have had a better meal and paid much less for it at a Toby Carvery!!The White Horse itself is a lovely building with a very busy and noisy bar, not the place for a quiet meal. Possibly I made a mistake by booking at one of their busiest times, an hour later the bar was much quieter.Staff were friendly enough and food once ordered arrived quickly, just a shame the carvery was such a disappointment.

This review is for the pub and restaurant only as we did not stay in the hotel but in the youth hostel opposite, Can highly recommend the restaurant, very nice food and good service. We were a group of 12 which they managed well. Quint Exmoor pub with a lovely atmosphere.

Took some effort to get here by bike but worth it for the riverside location and small sunny garden. Sandwiches and chips were good and value, and beer was too.
