White Horse in Dudley

Been a few times now. First time great second time issue with door staff today my pint was horrendous. I don't know if it was a bad pipe or not. Took one swig and left. Has massive potential to be a good pub. Tighten up on a few things and I'd love to drink here regularly as they show all the sports and locals seem friendly!

Only visit at lunchtime. Mostly older people gathering for a quiet drink, doing crosswords and following the horse racing.

Top pub and staff are great. I’m from Australia and loved the atmosphere there. Hope one day to return and catch up with the locals.

Shocking place. Drug city in the garden on 11/05/24. I've been to the White Horse on many occasions. But Saturday was the last straw for me and my group of friends. Upon arrival there was an argument to which the bouncers were sort of dealing with. After finding a seat in the garden I immediately noticed there were a few young males who had man bags....."International signal for drug dealers" The amount of drugs being passed around was shocking. I couldn't believe my eyes. Within 10 minutes of being there the police turned up for whatever reason. To which said man bag dealers made a quick exit after their lookout spotted the cops. Once the police had exited the man bags came back. The so called bouncers let the guy who was kicking off back in at the beginning. Once my friends had come back from the bar I was presented with my drink. Double Kracken shot of coke and 1 cube of ice. Upon taking a sip I immediately noticed this was not Kraken...I'm a seasoned drinker not a whipper snapper. I know my drinks. Upon presenting this to bar staff saying this is not Kraken. I was then showed the bottle..... stating this is Kraken..... You could show someone a bottle of bleach.... it doesn't mean there's bleach in it. I even said to the staff taste it.... it's not Kracken. To which they did and said that's Kraken then gave it me back! Argumentative and rude staff who clearly need educating on how to deal with customers. Overall this place has gone to the dogs and it's been sliding for along time. I and my friends won't be darkening your door step again...... massive drug problems.....Argumentative and rude staff....rubbish bouncers.

Excellent place for sports or a quiet drink with family. Big events are catered for by security and strict over crowding policy. Summer drinks in the beer garden are excellent and cosy seated and heated alcoves for those of us that aren't great sun worshippers or are dreaded smokers and want a bit of warmth in the winter. Not a food place but the cobs and snack are fresh, tasty and well priced.
