"The White Horse Inn is a fantastic addition to the village of Stourpaine. It’s a wonderful pub with a small attached shop. I've dined here many times, and the menu is impressive, catering to a variety of tastes, including excellent vegan and vegetarian options. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and it's great to see younger employees being guided by more experienced team members. The service is prompt, and the food is outstanding—clearly prepared in-house rather than purchased pre-made. Be sure to make a reservation in advance, as this pub is quite popular. Just a heads up, parking can be limited when the pub is busy."

The serving staff where brilliant with the little ones bringing them chocolate eggs out from the Easter bunny. Would defiantly recommend and will be returning in the future. Thank you for helping make it a memorable evening.

Had another lovely meal here today. Have never been disappointed with the food or drinks we have had here. Food portions are extremely generous, with a good meal selection, all very reasonably priced. Due to the weather conditions we made a slight change to our booking and as usual Ali was more than accommodating. Definitely will continue to come here, always made to feel welcome and is very dog friendly. View menu

This pub holds a special place in my heart, even though I'm from Surrey. We decided to celebrate my mother's birthday there, along with a friend who joined us unexpectedly. I called the pub to let them know we had traveled from Surrey and asked if they could deliver a birthday cake. They were more than happy to accommodate our request without hesitation. It's a fantastic pub with excellent service, delicious food, and wonderful staff!

We dined at The White Horse Inn on both Saturday and Sunday for lunch and tea while attending a furniture painting course at Edie Maes next door in September. It was a wonderful experience! The pub has a laid-back, welcoming atmosphere, and the service was excellent. The food was fantastic—delicious home-cooked meals prepared by Mandy, the chef. We thoroughly enjoyed the workshop, and having our meals at such a charming pub right next door really made it all the more special. View menu

Charming traditional pub with an extensive selection of beers and great food. We went there on a Thursday evening and it was quite busy. It seems to be one of the few pubs in Stourpaine, but the service was excellent and the food was delightful. I had the steak pudding with chips, something I haven't had in years, and it was absolutely delicious. My wife ordered the ham, egg, and chips, and she also found it to be very tasty. The pub is adorned with various service members' hats throughout, and it even had a visit from King Charles when he was still a prince. A lovely place that's definitely worth a visit!

We had a wonderful New Year's Eve celebration here with a large group of friends! The meal was delicious, and the atmosphere was fantastic, enhanced by live music. Ali, Chris, and the entire staff were incredibly friendly and worked hard to ensure everyone had a great time. This is our favorite pub—great beer, an excellent selection of gins, and a lovely log fire! After a long walk, we returned on New Year's Day. They are always happy to accommodate dogs and even have special treats for them! The staff is consistently friendly and welcoming. Thank you, Ali, Chris, and the team! This is definitely the best pub in Dorset!

"Good Friday turned into a really bad one. We had not been to Beatons for 3 months because we said we would never go back, but they say time heals. The order for my wife and I was, Scrambled Egg on Toast, Crispy Bacon and Egg Sandwich (Poached), and 2 One Shot Lattes. The young waitress was very pleasant. Unfortunately she then went on to serve 2 customers that arrived after us which ment we didn 't get our drinks till after our cooked breakfast arrived. My wife had a third coffee and two thirds foam. Really bad result. The food came and my wifes egg on toast was one slice of toast, a bit mean. When I opened my sandwich the bacon was nearly raw, the fat around the outside was still transparent, this is supposed to be crispy as said on the Menu. I really couldn 't eat this, I asked the young waitress to have it cooked more so it went back to the kitchen. 10 mins later it returned with the same egg which was now 15mins old and cold, and the same bread. I would have thought a new sandwich would arrive back that would be done correctly, but no. I did eat it but it wasn 't nice. I went to pay (over £20) for the experience, no apology, just a request for the full amount. As she was young I didn 't make a fuss, just said 'you shouldn 't be charging me for the sandwich, it was awful, ' her response was to lift the card machine for the payment in silence. This is what happens when you employ school children to run your Tearoom and kitchen. Absolutely never again, and I live in the village and could have been a regular income. It will be interesting to see if I get a response to this."
