White Horse, Stony Stratfordback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Quite a nice pub, I indulged in the XT3 which was a nice enough ale.

A reasonable option early evening on a Friday with a couple of decent ales on tap and a few nice examples of pub insignia and memorabilia . I would say though, that I once wandered past during the football on a Sunday afternoon and there was a lot of whooping going on. Relentlessly male but unspoilt nonetheless.

Cracking little pub. Dark and old-fashioned but very friendly. Beer's quite good as well.

A traditional, no frills boozer located in the heart of Stony�s historic High Street. It�s a single room affair, and seems to cater primarily for groups of young men interested in watching football.
The area at the front of the pub is probably the most attractive part, with an old fireplace over to the left and an impressive large wooden lintel above it. Any potential cosiness was somewhat spoilt though by the plasma on one side and the projection screen on the other, both showing the football. This was clearly the main point of interest, with all the punters gathered around watching.
The pub continues on past the bar and opens out at the rear, where there is a dart board, fruit machine and quiz machine, along with another projector screen although fortunately this was not in use on a recent visit. The flooring is mostly old boards, although with some carpet at the front, and the paintwork is mustard with dark wood panelling on the lower part of the walls. There were a few miscellaneous sporting pictures on the walls, but overall there was little of any note.
There were a couple of pumps on the bar, but only one was in use dispensing Brains SA. The solitary cider was Strongbow, unfortunately.

Cosy as previous reviewer says, the two large screens dwarf the pub a bit, and sometimes on evenings its so dark its like visiting an old cellar. Very popular, but beer is reasonably priced and the atmosphere is friendly.

Cosy discreet little pub on the main high street in Stony (it almost felt like walking into someone's house when using the side doors). Friendly staff, friendly atmosphere and a screen for sports. I think there's a fireplace in there too, but not sure if it's ever used.
