Went in the other day and he was talking to someone at the side of the bar. It was 2 or 3 minutes before he bothered to come over (which is along time when the place is empty and you can see them feet away talking) but by then we had noticed there was only one real ale on out of 5 or 6 pumps and the cider we wanted was not on as well.....so we went elsewhere!

Also the loos have been much improved and the place has been given a good clean. Cheese and ale night on thursdays you get the beer for £2 a pint if you order the cheese.Women's darts on a wednesday, and bands some weekends.
All in all, if you like interesting beers in good condition, this is on the shortlist. Can't comment on the food as I am not there at lunchtimes.

Staff are friendly and so are the locals who frequent the pub. Some funny things happen sometimes if you stay till late. Such as a griuyp coming in and one who was drunk slept while sitting in a chair at the bar. Then the landlord Keith comes in and says "Evening all, what's this then?" Made me laugh. I've met some excellent people there mostly CAMRA members and even the guy who is in charge of the North Herts branch.
See you soon!

I know there have been problems over the last 6 months but to see the pub closed was still a shock and I for one will be glad to see the White Horse back on its feet again .
This pub is the best one in Hertford for quality of beer and great food.
And it featured in BITE's top 40 pubs for many years so lets hope it can regain its former postion.
Good Luck.
We are pleased to confirm that the White Horse has undergone some 're-structuring' and will be re-opening on Friday 24th October at 5pm.
There will be a full stock of ALL beers and wines, including your favorites such as ESB, Pride etc.
As ever, you can be assured of the best quality beer around as we are one of the few pubs anywhere that cleans it's lines after EVERY keg.
Please come and help us enjoy this momentous ocaasion, you will be assured of a warm welcome from us all!
Look forward to seeing you!

Survived a recent attempt by dvelopers to undermine it by trying to get permission to build flats on its car park.well worth hunting out and supporting, one of Stortfords hidden gems.
Old fashioned decor, has a certain nostalgic quality to the place.
Food served but I've never tried it. Small selection of books and games available. Beer garden, juke box (staff will turn up/down if requested), car park to the rear. Dartboard and darts for sale.
Never that busy, and it's supposedly closing down soon. Shame to see Stortford lose another pub.

I visit pubs to drink beer that I know like, to try beers that I haven't tried before, and to do both in pleasant surroundings. That's why I bob in to The Mitre a couple of times a week now.
No fruit machines, no TV, no loud music, no lairy punters. The food is pretty good too.
