Having to overnight in London on our way back to NovaScotia, we wanted to experience a "proper" English pub, and we did! Words can not fully describe this quaint little pub, a step back in time. The staff was great, the food was fantastic (not Michelin star), but the charm was talking to some of the locals. Very "pubby". It was a great evening, and it didn't break the bank.

Popped in for a drink whilst staying at the Thistle Terminal 5. Only a 10 minute walk away and nicer than the soulless hotel bars. Mixture of locals and travellers. Lovely open fire. We decided not to eat there as the food seemed quite expensive ( when you actually saw the prices as written on the menu in the smallest font). Would stop for a drink there again.

Hadn't been here before but will certainly visit again as it is just 5 mins from the T5 Premier Inn. Quirky little place with really nice food and beers much better than sitting in a chain hotel.

The White Horse Pub is located in a tiny village almost under the flight path at Heathrow. A traditional old pub with bags of character, the place is easily accessible from Terminal 5 by local bus (maybe about 5 minutes if that). It is so easy to escape Heathrow and eat locally Unless you are visiting in Summer or in good weather, go early as the seating for food in the bar is limited (the outdoor patio complete with heaters is huge). We settled on fish and chips for the two of us and some decent beer and really enjoyed our meal. The portions were huge but fresh.

Got stuck at the airport overnight on our way back to the States. We were put up close at a hotel so we searched for local pubs. The White Horse had good reviews.Watch your head! You walk down a couple of stairs and need to duck to get into the pub. It was great! Great service, friendly patrons, quaint and it had plenty of locals to talk to.I give the food a 5, because we went there for the ambience and drinks. Not for the food. The good food was a bonus. If we had gone out for food, I would rate it a 4. We had the dirty chips, beef stew, lasagna Verdi and spicy squid. The chips could have been covered more with the toppings. The spicy fried squid was good. The lasagna could have used more seasonings. The beef stew was perfect. So, no complaints.If you choose to smoke, there's an outdoor area that is covered where you can eat, drink and enjoy your tobacco.The bathrooms were extremely clean.You can tell that the whole crew at this place cares about customer satisfaction. And they will do their best to take care of you.Great experience!

The beer is awful and sour. I took my beer back as it was so bad . Instead of giving me a good pint, the bartender said, there was nothing wrong with the beer. I left the beer on the bar, and walked out. Awful place, stay away.

I was dreading eating at the local hotel, spotted this place on the way in. What a lovely old pub, small and very quaint. Promised myself I'd have only the one pint but, the Fuller's London Pride on the pull is spot on so . . . . . . Chicken & veg pie excellent, yes veg is frozen & the chips are fries, gravy probably Bisto but a lovely pub meal honestly. Wife had the scampi said it was very good. Also music excellent for those of us of more mature years.

Having been to this pub on a number of occasions when staying at Heathrow we have always enjoyed the food and atmosphere. We stopped in once again this week and the staff were friendly as always but they have ramped up their prices significantly. £6.90 for a pint and they wanted £25 for fish and chips. Sorry, but that's just ridiculous. So we drank our pints and left and went elsewhere for food. Unfortunately you've just lost regular customers. These prices are more than the hotel room service 5 minutes up the road.

We love this pub and always book a hotel nearby before we travel so we can visit, even if we’re not flying from T5, but never again £19 for a large vodka and a pint of Guinness! Sorry but even close to the airport this is ridiculous pricing! We did question the charge and were assured it was correct! Seriously!!

Food was of awful quality - the ham for ham egg and chips was supermarket packet bought. One egg, chips frozen. Food was priced well and above quality - the game here - trap flyers from Heathrow that have little options, charge high, don't rely on repeat custom. Please do not visit or start your holiday here.
Love this lovely pub! Get here! We went for dinner n really enjoyed it! Delightful friendly locals. The vegetarian lasagna was delicious.

Good location near the hotel and can be comfortable on the terrace outside!

Ordered the Mississippi chicken for starter - was basically Birds Eye chicken dippers and a pot of BBQ sauce. Main was ham, egg and chips - the ham was clearly supermarket bought as was wafer thin. I hardly ever review on trip advisor as I believe sometimes places are a miss; this is definitely one to miss - complete and utter trap for travellers who are served bog standard food as they will never return. Please don’t do it!

Had been here before a few years ago so thought we'd see if it was still nice. It did not disappointment, it had the right kind of welcoming ambience to entice you in, the music was subtle and en point, loved it. The service and staff were exceptional. The food was delicious and served promptly, and big shout out to the main man, who I didn't catch his name. But was really friendly and offered us a takeaway box for our leftovers. Really enjoyable evening, lovely food and atmosphere, priced very reasonably. Highly recommend

A great pub! The staff were friendly and attentive, the food did not disappoint.We were lucky enough to sit outside and watch the world go by as the evening was pleasant. Great background music too. We would definitely return.
