About This Pub

You know, chatting about pubs like The White Horse always brings a smile – it's one of those places that feels like a proper local gem in Birstall. From what I've gathered, the food really steals the show; it's well-cooked, full of flavour, and they put a lot of heart into using local suppliers, which gives it that authentic touch we all appreciate. The atmosphere is just lovely too, with a cosy interior and a cracking beer garden that's perfect for soaking up the sun or staying warm on chillier evenings. Staff are generally top-notch, always up for a laugh and making sure everyone feels welcome, which is brilliant for families or if you're out with the dog. On the downside, a few folks have mentioned it looking a tad scruffy in spots, and there've been moments where service wasn't quite as smooth as it could be, like sorting out a high chair taking an extra nudge. Still, with such a strong rating overall, it's clear the good far outweighs the not-so-good. If you're in the area, I'd reckon it's worth a visit – grab a pint, try the grub, and see for yourself; you might just end up making it your regular haunt.

Absolutely love The White Horse! This pub is a real gem in Broughton Astley. The atmosphere is always warm and welcoming, whether you’re just stopping in for a pint or sitting down for a full meal. The staff are friendly, attentive, and make you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.

Walking through Watermead with friends and popped in for a couple of drinks. Pub is literally right on the dootstep of Watermead so easy to find. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, good selection of beers and ales on tap. Clearly very family friendly and dog friendly. Whilst we didn't eat the menu looked very nice.

It has probably been nice English pub with food. Didn't eat there but just a couple of beers. A bit "scruffy" and dirty and not really any atmosphere. The beers were great tho 😉

Stopped here for a spur of the moment dinner out having never been before and was very pleased. Food was really tasty pub food, great decor, helpful friendly staff, clean toilets and little play area for children in a nice pub garden area. Highly recommend for a family meal out!

Firstly was a bit annoyed when I asked a staff member for a high chair for my toddler he said no we don’t have any when I could clearly see another child seated on one , but then when my friend went to ask again the other staff member promptly brought one over , other then that the food was really nice and it was a Sunday so they had a only Sunday menu and didn’t have the normal menu but it was still good , ordered the cod and prawns for mains and skin on fries , both tasted excellent service was ok but the manager was really good staff members are younger have to keep asking them young lady who came to take the bill was nice , will visit again it’s also dog friendly. Overall nice local pub for Sunday lunch !
