White Horse Description

mandb furniture generic shotThe White Horse has been the pride of the village for over two hundred years. This Grade II listed country pub and eating house was recently restored into a trendy drinking and dining destination. Shenley's fascinating past includes a mention in the Domesday Book and a cricket ground believed to have been laid by WG Grace.

The pub's simple décor complements its traditional features - log burning hearths, deep leather seating, teak furniture and attractive old and new objet d'arts. The restaurant takes ninety customers and there is further seating for up to a hundred on the terrace during the summer months.

To set the right note of fashionable sociability there are sharing plates, Spanish tapas of prosciutto, Manchego, sardines and tortilla, a baked Camembert with rustic bread and onion marmalade, Greek mezze of taramasalata with humus, tzatziki, feta and flatbread, or a pizzette with garlic, rocket and Parmesan. Amongst the starters, touchingly referred to as 'little dishes', there is freshly made soup, smoked haddock with poached egg, crab cakes with tomato, chilli and coriander salsa, seared tuna carpaccio, or cider braised onion tart. Look, too, for Black Pearl scallops when the market is right.

The salads - sorry, that should read 'leaves' - offer chicken with chorizo skewers, watercress and minted cucumber raitha, for the seafood fiends some seared salmon Caesar with marinated anchovies and parmesan or buffalo mozzarella with warm roast vine tomatoes and rocket.

These days no self-respecting gastropub can afford to be without its pizza range; expect to find a classic Margherita of tomato, mozzarella and basil, or the challenging diavolo spiced chicken with peppadew peppers, chilli and tabasco. For those who like to build their own pizzas you can, for a modest sum, add to the basic dish with a choice from chorizo, olives, jalapenos, mushrooms or bacon. Or of course the whole lot if you're feeling that way. Pastas include fettuccine with salmon, prawns, coconut, spring onions and chilli, chef's choice risotto, or lasagne with chicken, blue cheese and spinach. For the big event there is always a fish of the day on request.

The steak burger with Swiss cheese, bacon, relish and fries is popular, a sign of the times and improving taste in eating. The calves' liver with mash, pancetta and baby onions is worth trying too. For hearty eaters there are good fillet steaks with horseradish Chantilly, green beans and frites or rack of lamb with asparagus.

A wide range of supporting dishes includes whipped potato, Belgian frites and mayo, and greens, leeks and peas. For those who have to be lashed to a plank to induce them to eat root vegetables, try them here, honey roasted and altogether different from the all too often pallid steamed variety. For desserts resort to the blackboard, where there is always a good display, often with some of the local cheeses to set the buffs alight.

Their bar stocks continental lagers such as Leffe, Edelweiss, Birra as well as English cask ales. For those celebrating a special occasion there are champagnes at reasonable prices. The wine list has an even balance of New and Old World wines with a variety of styles to choose from.

Their excellent Website will keep you up to date on any changes. Please note that the E-Mail Contact is for enquiries only, not for bookings.

Your Reviews of White Horse

Karen Jason (16 May 2009)

I love The White Horse in Shenley. The food is great, lovely atmosphere and the staff are really friendly. I eat there all the time, it’s my local gastropub, and how lucky am I to have it on my doorstep.

Carolyn French (23 March 2008)

When I first walked into the White Horse, I was blown away by the decor and the greeting I received from a handsome man, I believe is the manager. The food did not disappoint - I had a simple ribeye steak accompanied by Pink Pinot Grigio, which was superb. This was a great experience and I wish all success to the new owners.
