   We absolutely loved our lunch at the White Horse. The views are breathtaking and is generally a really pleasant place to sit and enjoy your food. The food was delicious, for anyone that likes seafood, mussels etc I would highly recommend. We live about 1 hour 40 mins away from Brancaster and it was well worth the trip!

   We had a lovely meal and a nice touch to arrive to the table with a card to my son for his birthday. We had two dogs with us and they were treated lovely, given water and a treat!! Thank you! It took a while for one of the dogs to settle and he finely did!! Only negative think to say is out order took over an hour and there was some people who came in after us and was served there food. We were told our order didn’t go through although we did manage to get our nibbles (hummus was so good) .

   We travelled from Lincolnshire today to eat at this fabulous restaurant. We last ate here 7 years ago ( should have been back earlier !). The food was delicious, service was fabulous, friendly and efficient staff. Definitely recommend.

   Fantastic meal for six of us celebrating Mum's 88th birthday. The setting was just lovely- another clear day with great views over the marshes- and the food was just gorgeous! Only our second visit but we had such a lovely welcome as if we were there every week! We look forward to our next visit!

   Was really looking forward to visiting the Whitehorse as had heard such good things so enthusiastically booked using Opentable stating we had a small dog. When we arrived there were a lot of bar staff having a chat and we had to wait to be noticed. We gave our name and we’re on our way to the restaurant when we got called back, told we couldn’t go because we had a dog, and then told our booking hadn’t indicated we had a dog so they had no table for us! We were directed after a wait to a table wedged underneath the TV which was showing sport and had the sound up! We were wedged next to a fireplace and another two tables. I asked to he moved but told there were no other tables available even though a table to our left was vacant for an hour of our visit. I had to ask the waiter to turn the sound down on the TV so I could hear myself think and as it was the day of the 6 nations you can just imagine how disrupted our meal was with large groups of people coming into the bay and looking above our heads at the match!! It totally ruined our experience from start to finish so we cut short our meal. Our table had not been wiped so was full of crumbs when we were allocated it. We decided not to order starters or desserts and had main each- venison sausages and mussels. The sausages were tasty but portion size was small for the price. Mussels were okay not as good as experienced elsewhere along the coast . The bread was burnt, chips were okay. Sadly due to our experience we won’t be returning or recommending this to our friends.
