We visited the White Horse late Sunday lunchtime - hungry grandson and two grandparents. We were given a warm welcome, seated at a comfortable table and although it is a local pub and not a restaurant were given table service.
I am not very good with traditional 'pub grub' and usually have to choose least worst. Not the case at the White Horse. Their menu is interesting and varied with good veggie options. Grandson chose a childs Sunday Lunch with a portion size that I would struggle to finish!
The Harveys Best was in excellent condition.
This is a find and we will be back

It's a long time since I was here but pleased to read people are still generally happy.
I had a fantastic dressed crab I seem to remember, which went well with the Harvey's.

Harveys most westerly outpost.Cozy stone floored pub with a large central fire place.Having visted the horse a dozen or so times since last December I can report a well that the beer quality is top notch with a good choice from the Harveys stable.the bonfire boy,Old and Christmas ale being notable examples.
|
Beer always in good condition, only visit irregularly but have never caught them on an off day. Can get a bit rammed on darts nights but shuffling around the cosy bar is not a problem and if tables not all taken in the dining area can find sanctuary there.
|
Harvey's pub, so Harvey's beer - and it was good. Armada and Olympia were top notch. The pub is set on the village's High Street but wasn't noisy, instead rather convivial (could do without the rubbish piped music, though). Food looked reasonably priced.

First time I have been to this pub yesterday and the Harvey's Old was beautiful, and the Tuna Steak very enjoyable. Nice atmosphere.
|
Nice little "real" pub with small patio area at rear, the beer (Hadlow) was great, only wish I had time to try the food which looked great. Well worth a visit.

One of those pubs, increasingly frequently encountered, where you get a slightly restauranty welcome: 'Will you be eating?' But good fare and a generally pleasant atmosphere, though I do hate having to endure a radio droning away in a pub, especially when the GBG says it's a Quiet Pub. I love Harvey's beer, but on this occasion the Hadlow Bitter was in only average condition. It can be much better. All in all, though, a decent pub where the owners are trying to do things well. I'd be glad if it were my local.

still haven't had a bad pint here, whether its a light mild, or stronger seasonal ale. The food is also consistent.
A great stop-off if your making your way along A272. Despite its distance from the brewery its one of Harveys best pubs (in my opinion)
|
Dropped in for lunch after researching for a pub the A272 route in the CAMRA good beer guide. All the Harveys' beers were on and we had a good meal at the height of the lunch period. Lovely pub with good staff who know what they're doing. If I'm down that way again this is the watering hole for me.

Dropped in on a Saturday afternoon for a friends birthday drink. Really friendly (I was impressed how the barmaid offered to help with making up a bottle for my young daughter) and the Harvey's was well kept. I tried Best, Armada, and Hadlow and they were all superb. The food looked good, but didn't try any.
This is a great pub - although its easy to miss the carpark around the back.
|
Solid village pub, decent, often imaginative food, great Harveys beers. Used to be a good bet for a quiet pint and a seat but was chocka the last time myPetersfield dropped by. Easy for the unwary to shoot past and then find nowhere to tie up, but actually there's a good sized car park right behind the pub. Deservedly popular.
|
Enjoyed some very good beer and food there yesterday with in-laws on the way to Chichester. Family run pub. Landlord offered my Yorkshire father-in-law tasters of all the bitters on offer. Thoroughly recommended. Red wine list a little short, but the good beer makes up for that. All the Harveys (new to me) tasted well kept. The beef casserole with dumplings was fantastic. Well worth a visit.

I must say I was disappointed to hear that this had been taken over by Harvey's a couple of years back, as it was reputed to be an excellent freehouse. Being an ale devotee it is always welcome to find variety as well as quality on the pumps.
That said, it would be churlish and perverse to moan about a pub falling under the auspices of Harvey's, who brew superb ales, and whose licensees tend to keep a good pint. The White Horse is no exception. All beer on my last visit was in great form, especially the Olympia, so well done to the cellarman (or woman).
It is a spacious pub that clearly welcomes both locals and passing trade, drinkers and eaters. Both staff and punters, whilst both were young (one doesn't expect much of youth in the friendliness stakes these days), were very outgoing and welcoming towards us. One young chap even decided to score for us whilst we played a darts extremely badly! Can't fault that sort of effort even though he had the appearance of a chav and was quaffing the fizz!! This at least shows it's not all about older CamRA members with beards!
I suspect this has the capacity for broad appeal and so if you're passing through on the A272, give it a go.

News that the new Wembley will be open for the 2007 FA Cup final reminds me of this place, as I was here on the Saturday night of this years FA Cup final.
We came here for my girlfriend's mate birthday meal and drinks. The meal was splendid, with a superb beer garden and dance floor area, given a DJ was hired out for the evening. Pub is isolated though in tiny Rogate, so a coach was hired to take us there and back. I doubt I will ever come here again in my life.
