Really nice little pub in the heart of Shere. The food was very good quality and surprisingly good value. It was also nice visiting one of the filming locations of the film 'The Holiday' - they make it very clear it was used in the film!
My Wife and I visited The White Horse in Shere on the evening of Saturday 2nd December 2023 for dinner and then again on the morning of Sunday December 3rd 2023 for brunch. We absolutely adore the beautiful 2006 Christmas movie 'The Holiday' and staying in Godalming and visiting Shere twice certainly didn't disappoint. Ashleigh and her amazing staff could not have been lovelier. The White Horse is an incredibly idyllic warm beautiful English country pub. The walls are littered with a plethora of historic references, dating back centuries accompanied by fascinating genuine artefacts. Those that have an affection for the movie 'The Holiday' will be left mesmerised. There is a beautiful tribute poster that is emphatically classy in it's subtle commemoration. You can easily notice where both Jude Law and Cameron Diaz were situated in the Pub scenes which leaves you a little star struck. The food was completely delectable on both occasions. The Chef & Brewer menu provides such a vast contrast of choices cooked to the very highest standard along with some gorgeous craft beers and ales. All the staff were beyond attentive and I reiterate could not have been more friendly. The pub provides such a warm, cozy feel about it with it's perfect lighting, central heating but in addition has roaring open fire places that compliment the sense of winter provided by the wondrous oak beams gently decorated for festive season. My only complaint is living in Essex it is such a long way to come because we would gladly make The White Horse our regular Pub & Restaurant of choice. Althugh we will most definitely be visiting again soon x x Thank you Ashleigh Greig & Linda (thanks for the starters) your Chef is amazing XX
Lovely pub with history in a beautiful location. As you may know, it was used as the pub Jude Law and Cameron Diaz met in, in The Holiday movie. The food was good, but I had hoped for more. My steak was nice, but didn't have that char that's needed on a great steak, and the portion of chips was a little measly. Good selection of beers
We went on a Sunday and they only served roast dinners which is fine. They could only seat us in the garden for lunch. Luckily it wasn't too cold. Annoying wasps flying around the table which was not pleasant. Food was lovely and didn't take long to serve. My friends had dessert and that seemed tk have taken longer than the roast dinner.
A very typical British pub restaurant in a small town Shere. Very cosy atmosphere and can tell the locals will come here for some meals. My wife mentioned the food was very natural taste and tasty pretty healthy. Overall a good place to dine in.
