Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The White Horse never fails to put on a good event and the Caribbean night did not disappoint. The ticket was very well priced which included a free drink (how generous)!!! Loved that there was a range of nibbles to purchase. The steel band was...the icing on the cake and were great! As a regular customer, I couldn’t recommend this pub enough. They put so much care in providing an amazing service to their customers and have always gone above and beyond when hosting events. Overall, the whole afternoon was brilliant and fairly priced which included the cost of the ticket, food and drinks. Can’t wait for the next one!!! Thanks The White HorseMore

I usually enjoy lunch at this pub so tried their Caribbean event. The way it was advertised gave the impression that there was a taste of food in the price of the ticket. There wasn’t there was food to buy. I didn’t expect a meal...but some nibbles, This made for an expensive afternoon having paid for an entry ticket and then purchasing food. There was a complimentary drink on entering but not an alcohol free alternative. I know it is a pub but as a not drinker I still support the pub having lunch there often and drinking coffee. There was no tea or coffee available on this afternoon. Please if you don’t want to fire up your fancy coffee machine just have a jar of instant coffee and a kettle. As a regular customer I was very disappointed. Coffee is more expensive to buy than the soft drinks my friends buy so surely you could offer this. I my opinion the music left a lot to be desired. I don’t like to post bad reviews but the pub does need to know this was not a great event. Sorry folks. I will still be lunching with you.. I want to make it clear I am only rating this particular event.More

Went for dinner with friends and sat in one of the beech huts, we all had 3 courses each and everything was amazing. All the staff are friendly and attentive, very good value for money as everything homemade with fantastic gluten free options.

I do not recommend this pub to anyone. The landlord, his wife and son. Are not nice people they say this is a family pub but it was not. They kept telling the childrens off for running around the Garden but that what children do...they play with other kids and have fun. They couldn’t enjoy thierselves. The kids kept coming back to their parents miserable and wanted to leave. THIS IS NOT A FAMILY PUBMore

Not a lot of character inside, but an extensive menu of reasonably-priced food makes this a great place to meet friends or family for a chat.

My wife and I visited Wokingham for a weekend away and we found this pub on one of our walks . As it was a lovely sunny day we sat in the garden at the back of the pub . The service by young Holly...was excellent for both food and drinks , she worked tirelessly for the few hours we spent there . Would highly recommend the lunchtime menus , the goats cheese salad was delicious , as was the whitebait . A 5* visitMore

A very good "local" for bar food and main meals at affordable prices. Very clean establishment, friendly staff and well spaced out dinking in restaurant/bar. We enjoyed our mixture of bar meals and items from the main menu which were well presented and represented good...value for money.More

We went here for a family celebration for my husband’s 60th birthday. What a lovely surprise when we got there to find a big square table for 12 set up, so much nicer than a long table where you can’t talk to people at the...other end, this helped to make the meal special. As others have commented the staff were all friendly and attentive. The food was good and huge portions.More

Was delighted both with the food and the ease of arrangements. An excellent selection of hot and cold food made this buffet a hit with those who attended. My guests also commented on how helpful and friendly the staff were. Although the Christmas decorations were...up, they were tasteful and so didn't jar with the occasion. I would also rate this as excellent value for money and would happily recommend it to anyone wanting to hold an event. I believe everything is made in house also.More

Absolutely loved it ! Our first time there , we were met with such a warm , friendly & genuine welcome that it felt like we were regulars. The atmosphere was fab , it was busy but we still got a lot of attention. LOVED...the fact that dogs are allowed in (special area) The team couldn’t do enough for us & were lovely. The food is gorgeous .. big portions! Only regret is that I ate so much that I had no room for dessert! So will definitely be back to try that! Thank you!More

I asked if I could park my Camper Van in the car park as we were attending a music event at the White Horse. The courteous friendly service continued throughout the evening and nothing was too much trouble for any of the staff.

Following on from “clumpybob’s” review, it was myself and my new wife’s wedding. These guys were fantastic. From the planning, dressing the pub, providing top quality food and drink. Ensuring everything ran smoothly. They made our cake and accompanying cup cakes too, all to our...specifications of colour scheme. If you want to have a great wedding/party/gig/function you can’t go wrong with the White Horse. Hats off to you Clive, Anita and Tom and all your wonderful staff! You made our day/year!

I have been here a few times over the years as it's my mate's local - but we were there last Saturday as this mate was getting married - and decided to hold the reception here. My my my - haven't they been busy in...the garden since I was last here?? Lots of wooden huts and a bigger, stage/hut at the end of the garden. All looked properly done - like a garden building showroom....but very sturdy, lively decor (on music themes) - and heaters inside! We were here for about 6 hrs, so I had to go to the bar many times - and the service was quick, efficient - but still with a smile and a friendly greeting every time I got there. The guy in the garden who was arranging everything for this wedding, worked like a Trojan - even carting the sound equipment inside so the band/music could continue somewhere slightly warmer. The people serving the food (which was of excellent quality considering it was a wedding buffet - with separate veggie & vegan food sections, and canapes beforehand) were great - actively replenishing the stuff that had run out, and really ensuring everyone had their fill. Later on, I really appreciated the lady going around offering blankets to chilly guests in their wedding garb. Nice touch. Great choice of beers, some impressive, fruit-laden G&Ts - and endless prosecco provided for the toasts. Considering how many guests there were all afternoon and evening, the (male) toilets were clean and tidy too! Great job to the management and staff of the White Horse - everybody is talking about what a great reception venue this was.More
