Food Quality
Pros:
"Beautiful food for breakfast, lunch and dinner."
"The food was amazing! I had the pork and leek sausages with red wine gravy, my husband had the Yankee burger, my Father-in law had the gammon and my Mother-in-law had the Hunters Chicken and we all agreed it was the best pub meal we had ever had!"
"Food was excellent. The burger I had (Mexican) was just perfection."

Cons:
"The yorkshires tasted refrigerated, meat very tough, vegetables not very nice, cauli cheese had more milk then anything else."
"The bacon was full of fat the bbq sauce tasted strange and the chicken was not fresh chicken."
"The drinks were wrong, the food was completely awful and Wrong."
"Meals small menu but variety of Greek and European dishes. Not good value for money due to skimping on the portions."
"When your meal says it comes with homemade coleslaw I expect a bit more than a single mouthful sized portion presented in a sauce cup no bigger than what McDonald's use to offer."
"Christmas diner was a joke. £40 for processed food."
"The burger was average: overdone and underseasoned."

"Delightful looking pub restaurant set by tranquil scene of canal lock and water meadow."
"Great local pub, lush beer garden and amazing location next to the canals."
"In the summer The White Horse is one of the best pubs in Birstall! It has a big beer garden that goes all but down to the canal, a kids play area and undercover seating as well."
Cons:
"Not bad pub little awkward to get to with one way streets and driveway where you cross for the garden so mind the kids."
"Absolutely rammed with 20 something age group so we felt quite old!"
"The only negative is, they should probably ask their customers whether they want their meat dead or alive... mine came pretty much still MOO - ing."
"The interior is modern but I found it to be a little too light and airy, almost like a very nice garden shed."
"I wanted to spend a romantic evening with my husband, but initially, we were offered shabby benches near the entrance."
"The place itself is fairly small, but also not rammed. It's off the beaten path which makes it rare for passers by."
"It's has a small play area with tables for when you want to eat drink and watch your kids scream while ignoring them."
Value for Money

Cons:
"Decent food if a bit overpriced."
"Drinks overpriced and lack variety."
"It's a little expensive but worth it."
"The prices are so expensive it's ridiculous."
"Do not buy the potato chips, as you will get a meagre handful of chips for £4 - this is such a rip off."
"Both drinks and food on the more expensive side."
