The White Horse, Bearsted www.thewhitehorsebearsted.co.uk

40th birthday lunch for daughter. 19 people all had to pre order our starters mains desserts might have guessed it would have been slow, when you have to order a course before your starter called "while you wait".waitress came to table with our list. asking for names as their menu had changed and some items not available. half the guests had to reorder one or two courses. waited 30mins for starters, then another 45 mins for mains. most desserts didn't arrive at all. my Eton mess, had no meringue and the cream was warm, disgusting.Others didn't even try theirs they were sent back We complained and left before desserts were brought out, 4 hours we had waited. complained to manageress, let us off the remaining part of bill. We had paid £10 per head deposit. But in all honesty food we had was not worth that.My soup which was Leak and coriander never heard or want to taste that combination again. rest of meals were all a hotch potch combinations of ingredients. Roast dinner, which in all fairness is an indestructible meal unless burnt, looked good.there was no provision for disabled to go to loo, 100's of stairs.need pulling down and starting again.bad food cheerful waitresses but slow service. too many steps no handrails. will never go there again.

i'm usually pretty critical of restaurants but this place is faultless. the waitress we had (can't remember her name) was wonderful. food was great, little bit pricey, but worth it. i'll be going back for sure

Nice atmosphere and pleasant view over The Green. Staff attentive and welcoming. Food very good but would have preferred a plate for the meat pie instead of a board as it was a bit difficult to juggle; the puff pastry was apt to fall onto the table and I ended up putting the veg into the pie to keep the pastry under control. Excellent pie just the same and the food is a cut above the usual somewhat boring menus offered in other places. Slightly more costly than some places but worth it. Would recommend this restaurant to friends.

I’m quite the perfectionist when it comes to restaurant food. Probably related to the fact I’ve worked in the industry for 30+ years, including some Michelin star restaurants. That being said I had a superb meal, and the quality for the organic starters were second to none.

Recommend to everyone!

Pleasant surroundings food exceptional, although being old fashioned didn't like the food placed on wooden planks and roof tiles, never the less an excellent food and staff very attentive.

parking could be a problem on late arrivals

The Manager has been working very hard to make the experience at the white horse a much more enjoyable one and noticeably in the past two month its been a pleasure. The food is always very good we can't ever compliment that enough. The service at the bar has not always been as efficient as it should be but lately also has been improving. The ambiance at the white horse is always very good and always brings you back, Friday evening is always a time I will meet my friends to socialise which is also many other peoples favourite so that would be a good time to increase the staffing levels to hopefully speed up the waiting time for a drink. On the whole its been a pleasure to eat and drink at the white horse and will recommend to all my friends and family good job.

We found the white horse a very plesent place to eat .service excellent food excellent management and staff could not do enough for you. We would recommend the white horse to friends and family as a excellent place to eat.

Took my wife here for her birthday 19/10/12. We have eaten here before and the food was good, so today we returned. I ordered chicken with hot piri piri sauce my wife had prawn and scallops parcels. We ordered mixed olives as niblles to have before dinner. After 45 minutes are dinner was delivered to the table, my chicken was very dry and the salad was even worse. The piri sauce was the same asy wifes sauce for her parcels butthe simply added paprika, nothing like piri piri. I had 2 mothfuls and had to take it back.I explained the situation and they offered a refund of my meal. He then said he would bring the olives out, I refused them as they were supposed to be a nibble before dinner. The wifes food was not much better. The place is very nice and I expected better especially as a pint of Perino is £4.40 and a glass is pino is £7.15!!!!!!!!!

The place is the white horse in bearsted, Kent.

Be warned
