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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

A nice looking place. The menu looks quite varied. The food was decidedly mediocre. The bill was shocking ! We definitely will not return. At just short of £40/head we expected much better.

Great food selection with generous portions and friendly service. Good choice of beers, wines and spirits. We sat indoors but lots of good quality seating outdoors also. Definitely recommended and look to return in the future.

What a lovely Inn and fantastic garden play area, but the food, what a let down. A Sunday roast was £16 there were four lovely roast potatoes, meat, Yorkshire graves but sorry what about the vegetables. A tiny amount of broccoli and twoFrench beans, there...might have bee a few peas. All for the grand price of £16. Never again, I’ll cook at home like lots of people no wonder it’s not busy.More

Pleasant enough, but sadly, not the pub I remember frequenting about 40 years ago. Then a delightful country pub, serving good and out of the ordinary food in a superb setting. Now it's a pub! Just that, like any other chain of pubs serving pub...grub Nothing wrong with that. It offered the same sort of menu as I would expect in any pub chain, and prices about the same. Clearly very popular and very pleasant and efficient service. All round a good pub. Just not the one I remember, but then, what Is?More

Enjoyable family Sunday lunch Well cooked crispy and soft roast pots and vegetables really well cooked with a slight crunch and not overdone like one gets often in carvery situations. Portion size was satisfactory and deserts were slightly out if the ordinary which was a...nice change. Friendly polite young staffMore

Hello, We have been visiting Beer for many years now and God knows how many times we have passed this place without visiting, but did so today. The couple here run a very slick service. We were seated quickly where menus awaited us, and while...we browsed, our drinks were ordered and delivered. In a very timely fashion, our food arrived. My Wife had liver and bacon and I opted for the gammon. Both came piping hot, generous in portion and very well priced and yes, they were both yummy. Will definitely return and keep up the good work you two keys. BTW, the menu offered great variety and still offered old time favourites such as the gammon. Favourites that are becoming a thing of the past ? Thanks Gary.....More

We have visited a number of time recently and each time the food and drinks have been consistently good. Menu choices are varied, along with an ever changing specials board. Beer for me has been either St Austel's Tribute or Otter Ale, and both have...been good - evidence of a well kept cellar in my opinion. It is more of a meal venue than a drinkers pub, but there is ample space for both and as tables are not all layed out for dining (something I really don't like), drinkers don't feel they are intruding.More

Have just got home after stopping here for lunch. The welcome was warm, the cider was deliciously cold and the food was just so wonderful. I opted for the chicken, bacon melt and can honestly say it was the best I have EVER eaten! The...chicken was so moist, just the perfect amount of bbq sauce and chips to die for. My partner had the ham egg and chips which was also of the best quality, great ham, beautifully cooked orange yolked eggs and again perfectly cooked, crispy chips. Can’t recommend this place highly enough! If you haven’t been, you are missing out. Thank you White horse. We will be back xxMore

Has become a fairly regular stop for us. Food excellent with good specials board. Lots of room including great little cabins outside. It’s not the cheapest around but quality counts too.
