The White Horse, Bearsted Green

Lovely decor and setting. Unfortunately everything else pretty much lets this place down. We were taking my dad for a celebration Sunday lunch and there was a group of us. We were kept for 45 minutes for our table - which, having arrived about 20 minutes early for a quick drink made this a long wait, especially with kids in tow. I had to ask twice, nobody really bothered. My cuppacino ordered at the bar whilst waiting had to go back. A cup literally made of froth with about an inch of cold coffee in the bottom.
The waitresses were very sweet and did their best but all in all the food was mediocre. Drinks ordered at the table just never arrived. My dessert was supposed to be marshmallow cheesecake with Tukish delight syrup. Sounded nice. Well, when it arrived there were quite literally 2 teardrops of sauce on the side of the plate. As the cheesecake was awful and quite definitely needed something, I pointed this out to the waitress and she agreed. She took it back to the kitchen, only to return and say that they couldn't add any sauce as they had run out!!! So, rather than take something off of the menu they served a sub standard dessert - i would mind but it was a fiver. I told them to keep it. All in all a very disappointing experience which should have been a treat. Never again!
