This is so far my favourite pub anywhere. The pub's been in the same family for about 400 years, if…read moremy memory serves me correctly. And that shows. The welcome is genuine and they have their feet on the ground. They serve beer made down the road and it's popular with real ale fans. The food is good -basic and inexpensive - Ploughman's and sarnies, for example. Good choice of well made cheeses and pate. I love the double seats in the porch. I have fond memories of taking my father here and sharing a seat here. And it's a lovely place to go for a walk along The Ridgeway before or after. And it's wonderful to see such a beautiful old Berkshire building. Lovely location and a pretty garden. Inside is lovely - nothing added, nothing taken away. This is the real thing. PS The pointer in the map showing here is far from in the right place. Check it out on the map. Aldworth is a pretty little hamlet.

Upstairs is the new cocktail bar which is a real surprise & doesn't really fit in with the rest of the pub. You will find a much younger crowd here who are happy to pay for the overpriced but delicious cocktails.

The desserts were awesome and the hot chocolate fondant was ever so light, creamy and rich. A good selection of wines and all other drinks from the pub served by staff who couldn't do enough for us. Extremely busy and a good idea to book as I don't think there are many restaurants of that standard in the area. Quite a few certificates stating that they are in the Good Food Guide and Michelin Guide etc.

This quaint, family run restaurant has great service and excellent food. My favorite is the fillet with the peppercorn sauce and I order the mashed potatoes instead of the fries. My understanding is that the restaurant butchers their own meat and it has been outstanding every time I've visited. Cooked medium rare with a pint of beer, what could be better!? I've tried several of the appetizers and all have been very good. If you're in the area, you won't be disappointed with the Fox and Hounds.

We visited together a week or two ago and repeated the experience with our daughter and her husband, our son and our grandchild for lunch on 23rd December. The Food and service was exceptional in both quality and quantity, the starters were Artichoke Soup for some superb, and in particular the Rack of Lamb the Real Ham off the bone and the very tender Rib Eye Steak. All with the personal service of the proprietor Michael. All in all the meals were substantial and not over priced. Reasonably priced Pinot Grigiot Rose with good local ales make this the must visit pub in the Vale of the White Horse. This very improved local deserves an increase in visitors and support from locals and visitors to the village of Uffington alike, hopefully not to the extent that we will not be able to get a seat!!!!!

We'd spent the day driving (on the wrong side of the road) and by the time we arrived at our B&B,…read morethere really wasn't much of a choice of food within walking distance. So I used Yelp to see what choices were within a short drive. I called White Horse to see if they could take us for dinner, and they suggested not waiting much longer as their kitchen closed at 9 (it was already 8.) I set the GPS and off we drove! If you've driven in rural UK, then you know that the roads are narrow and unlit. In the middle of nowhere, the GPS announced that we had arrived. So, I called again, described where we were as best as I could, and was advised to "keep going." About 5 minutes later, we arrived. We each ordered a Greek Salad. Often, the amount of cheese is pretty limited, especially on less expensive salads. Not so at the White Horse. The salads were absolutely loaded with delicious feta cheese, along with yummy cucumbers and tomatoes. Unfortunately, I can't remember the rest of the food we ordered, but it was all good. Had it been a bit warmer, we could have enjoyed our dinner in a lovely outdoor garden area.

The patriarch was running the bar when I was about, and the conversation was pleasant and warm and the beer was cold.

The food: simple yet amazing, the rooms: clean and good enough, the bar and restaurant: a winner.
