    I was very excited to visit The White Horse as had heard such wonderful things but unfortunately our experience was far from that. Our starter was luke warm and could tell it had been sitting for a while as the top of the chowder had started to form a ‘skin’. It was however tasty so opted to ignore the temperature issue. We then waiting 40 ish minutes for our main to come, the waiter even noticed and without us prompting him said he would check with the kitchen. When the mains arrived (grilled seafood platter and mussels) they looked to the eye, very nice. The platter was unfortunately cold, lacking any flavour and the salsa verde was not salsa verde and the dish was swimming in a green oil covering all the fish. The mussels tasted ok but nearly every mussel had grit in them and had not been washed properly. Our waiter was sympathetic and kind and offered some new mussels but these were very similar and the white wine sauce had not been cooked properly and did not taste good so we had to send those away as well. Overall extremely disappointing and we left our Norfolk weekend escape on a low. We did appreciate our waiter however for understanding our feedback. I think this is one of those restaurants you think is nice because of the presentation and location but when you actually realise what you’re eating, I have had better food at a Greene King pub.
