The White House Reviews Summary

Atmosphere and Decor

Pros:

• "I love how it looks inside, with different areas to sit depending on your need, giving cosy as well as space for large tables."
• "Cosy, posh and dog friendly where you can enjoy your Sunday roast as you are at home."
• "The room was warm and cosy just right on a damp day!"
• "Amazing, amazing place! It was raining so we stayed inside. Beginning of June and the fire was on, creating a lovely, cozy atmosphere."
• "Lovely meal with such a fab waiter called Kieran who was funny, charming & helpful and made us have a laugh."
• "A very pleasant venue, part of the Green King chain."
• "Lovely pub. Food is tasty but shocking chip portion."
• "Lovely pub with ample parking and nice scenic beer garden."

Cons:

• "Pub wasn’t very busy, we were seated in the snug area near the door, which am pleased to say they have altered so diners so get full force of the draught when door opens."
• "Food was nice & the meals were so big we couldn't finish them all. The toilet's didn't flush properly."
• "Place ok been decorated, food bit dry got chicken ciabatta won't get again, cheesecake and coffee it was expensive bland and place was cold we didn't take our coats off."

Service

Pros:

• "My experience was wonderful, with Addam going out of his way to accommodate my needs and making my time there absolutely superb!!"
• "Good choice of dishes, staff professional and friendly."
• "Staff were very accommodating especially Claire."
• "Stopped in for lunch for the first time in a long while. The food was fantastic as was the service- very accommodating."
• "The staff are great, welcoming, polite and helpful."
• "We had a lovely, polite service. The food here is tasty, always nicely presented and carefully prepared."
• "They were running late with the food but the waiter was very apologetic and kept us informed all the way."
• "Staff are great, welcoming, polite and helpful. Have visited on 3 occasions, one particularly busy time where this service was poor and a let down however the further two times where great."

Cons:

• "The food then returned still luke warm so we tried to eat what we could."
• "Upon paying the bill, we expressed we were not happy with the food so she angrily typed into the computer, printed a new bill and slapped it onto the bar without saying a word."
• "The service wasn't bad and the food arrived quickly. The sea bass was cooked well and the pie was fine. The mixed grill wasn't though."
• "Waited 20 mins to be served to the stage my husband went up to the lady and asked her to take our order."
• "The bar staff are excellent apart from the lady with the short hair, who doesn’t want to tolerate children at all."
• "Food was ok but service could be better. To me maybe they are not used to a diverse community."
• "However, when my roast arrived it looked lovely, yet once I began to eat it went downhill."
• "The food took ages to come and to be honest, it was so bland. The seafood risotto (seabass and scallops) came with 2 scallops."

Food Quality

Pros:

• "My latte was perfect (thanks for the recommendation Addam), and my chef’s special burger was totally delicious!!"
• "We both had Sunday roast, it was really nice, cleared my plate."
• "I has the sea bass and seared scallops, mum had lasagne, nan had fish and chips. They were all amazing (obviously tried a bit of each!)"
• "Lovely food, you get lots with your portion which makes the price worth it!"
• "The food was spot on, I just wanted to mention, I'm a vegetarian and it was fabulous to have more than one option!..it was all delicious."
• "She ordered the gammon and said it was perfect!"
• "Slightly more expensive than a regular pub meal but definitely worth it."
• "Food was nice, some small errors like things on meals that weren't stated on the menu, few items overdone."

Cons:

• "However, 3/4 dinners arrived cold so we sent them back."
• "The potatoes on the menu are described as ‘goose fat roasted potatoes’, however, the potatoes we received were definitely frozen."
• "The chicken was tasteless and rubbery. The gammon wasn't very nice at all."
• "The mushroom pie was pretty decent, but let down by the sides. My partner asked for a medium rare steak, but it come well cooked."
• "Food was nice. Highly recommend the rib on the bone. The rest of the party had sunday lunch, turkey, beef usual. Tatties were chewy and hard so obviously precooked and reheated."
• "The person at the bar counter made us feel like we were not supposed to be there. So cold and ignored us. Food was ok but service could be better."
• "First visit in years as a treat for us both. The place looks great with having a fairly recent refurb. Initial impressions being greeted and having our order taken were good. Really nice ambience. However it went down hill from there."
• "The food was poor – tasteless, poor preparation and not as described in the menu – and the service was poor – bringing our main courses when we were still eating our starters."
