I can only give 4 stars this time. The starters and main course were excellent. The puddings were a bit ordinary compared with the rest of the menu and little variety. The cheese board came with dry crackers and a bit of cucumber. What is wrong with butter, apple slices or grapes that compliment cheese well and add a bit of moisture? Loss of the star is for the service. Given ordinary blunt knife to cut Venison. It should have been replaced when I ordered but had to ask for steak knife. Call me old fashioned but taking my plate away while my partner is still eating is just not good etiquette? I asked for a wine menu to order a rich red well before my main course of Venison arrived but the wine did not turn up till after it was served. Perhaps I am fussy but Whitehouses is not cheap so I expect better for my money.
We went to Whitehouses last night with the aim to try the Tapa menu (which looks delicious). We however ordered from the main dinner menu and had pork belly bites and pate for starters and a fillet steak and wild boar sausage and mustard mash for mains. The meats used were of a very high quality and the food was cooked to perfection. I really wanted to try the Hopical Storm but someone forgot her glasses to drive home so I had Erdinger 0% which is a really good alcohol free lager in this hot weather. The hosts (Jane and Ed) were also very friendly, knowledgeable. Overall a much better place now it is run by Ed and Jane (so forget any reviews before late last year).
Ed and Jane are the perfect hosts and look after you from start to finish.. The food here is of very high standard..And the beers are fabulous. Yes your paying slightly more than your average pub because this place isn't just your average pub. You want quality then that's what your getting..Did i mention the beers are spot on as well.
We had an incredible weekend and visited Whitehouses twice!! The food was spot on and the staff made us feel like family. It was a fantastic experience and would highly recommend Whitehouses. Try the prawns!!
