The White Horse

My wife took me yesterday 5/8 for a birthday meal. We have been several times before sometimes as a party of 10. |The food last night surpassed excellent both my wife and I enjoy a very enjoyable well cooked and well presented meal. |The pork I had was juicy and perfectly cooked. |I had a Timothy Taylor beer which was clear and perfectly cared for. Congratulations to the bar man for keeping such a good cellar. |My wife was given a free glass of sparkling prosecco as it was my birthday. Also my beer was not on the bill. Thank you |The service was seamless |The young lady Alex who was our waitress was just lovely. Polite and interactive and made us feel like we had known her for years. So personable. A great asset to the restaurant |We would like to thank everyone involved for a very very enjoyable evening and we will be back. |Peter and Sue

A really beautiful building with a lovely atmosphere right in the middle of Dorking. The staff are friendly and welcoming and went out of their way to accommodate us. The room was lovely with very thoughtful little touches such as a handwritten note welcoming us and a selection of lovely little treats. The provision of both milk and oat milk was a great touch too. |Breakfast was delicious, I can really recommend the vegetarian breakfast even if you aren’t veggie. My husband had the full English which had proper butcher’s sausage. |I also love the fact that dogs are welcomed in the pub. I wish I’d brought mine! |All in all this is a lovely place, and I would love to come back one day.

stayed Aug 25 for 3 nights B&B. Great accommodation room was good, clean and plenty of room with twin beds. Breakfast was delicious and set us up for the day. Only difficulty was parking on site however there is plenty of parking nearby. We were luck that we only used the carpark during Free periods as we were out most of the day.

A one-night stay, with dinner and breakfast, which was excellent from start to finish. Lovely staff, who went out of their way to be helpful. Our dinner in the restaurant was top-class, with delicious food and the bonus of a delightful waitress named Megan, who even went to the trouble of making me an Affogato specially as it wasn't on the menu! Breakfast was equally good, with thanks to Nicki for our Eggs Benedict and Eggs Florentine perfectly cooked.

The team hosted a party for us in the bar a few Saturdays ago. We were really impressed with the front of house staff and all the communication leading up to the event. In addition the venue was perfect for what we needed with good food and drinks. Thanks again.

We had such a great weekend! The staff were super friendly and helpful. Nothing was too much trouble. Beautiful room. The chocolates on arrival were a lovely touch and very delicious. We ate in the restaurant whilst we were staying and a great evening was had by all. We will definitely stay again if we are back in Dorking! Thanks for looking after us so well!

The White horse hotel was lovely.|The staff were great and very helpful and friendly. The food was excellent and the room was very clean and comfortable.|The only thing that let it down was the constant noise from the road.|Traffic. Rubbish collection, delivery trucks across the road then at 8am they deliver the beer kegs. We paid for an extra comfy room which we feel should have been at the back of the hotel away from the noise.

This review is one of two halves. The location is great, the rooms clean and comfortable. Apart from fantastic service in the restaurant from the Mexican manageress, all other staff contacts left a lot of room for improvement. Examples, 1. We don't serve food on the terrace, you'll have to carry your own coffee's despite having a bag in each hand already (Strange, we had breakfast there yesterday)! 2. Not asking if we'd like any condiments and when we asked for them, they didn't arrive. 3. Asking reception if they could arrange for someone to clean our table outside, told to find a member of the bar staff. 4.On leaving, told to just place our key cards in the box, no enquiry regarding enjoyment of stay. Expensive given the service provided, we will not visit again. The provision of earplugs in the room tells its own story.
