| Visited late on a Friday night. Only one real ale on which was an "adequate" pint of Late Red. When I enquired why only one beer on I was informed that the pub is closed at weekends and they weren't going to put another barrel on. I kind of understand but worth knowing if you plan to visit this pub. I was on a 9 pub crawl of the area and this was probably the lease friendly of all the pubs. TheHorsesMouth - 7 Nov 2011 12:47 |
| Absolutely bog-standard boozer. Bit old fashioned with the carpets and all but an OK place for a pint I suppose. There are probably better options within 200 metres though. oldjg1 - 30 Jun 2011 01:27 |
| A big thumbs up to the White Horse and Bower. It certainly offers a lot in contrast to the competing establishments in the local area, not least the fantastically friendly service. There's always a good mixed crowd, it doesn't smell (Barley Mow a couple of roads down urgently needs to rescind the smoking ban!). Also much more reasonably priced than the extortionate loose box across the road. They've also started to introduce quiz nights and live music nights which are quite popular! As is the darts board. Always a decent selection of Ales, lagers and wines. Food is also good. Dal_U - 26 Apr 2011 16:14 |
| New music venue on Horseferry Road. The land of Westminster and Civil Servants has now been transformed with the sound of music. The White House and Bower has now started live music performances courtesy of the manager Anthea. This is a change of direction for the old man of Horseferry Road. Staff are friendly and polite. The opening band to play at the venue was the Bob Villains, a Bob Dylan tribute band. Not a bad start for the venue and a good choice. I have never been much of a Dylan Fan myself however they did the back catalogue justice. The band used a young female singer for the folk numbers and a backing band for Dylan’s rock numbers . However, I did find this very enjoyable and a good direction for the White House and Bower. This is a promising venue for Houseferry Road and one which I will be watching with interest in the coming months. I certainly will be visiting again. cql24j - 14 Jul 2010 22:08 |
| Single bar street corner Sheps pub on Horseferry Road. As previous posters have infeered, it's a pleasant, but unremarkable pub with nothing much really of note. It's carpeted - always a plus point in my book - and the seating is the usual mix of sofas, bar stools, chairs and those awful longish high tables that seem to be de rigeur nowadays. There's several large Sheps related photographs down the far end of the pub. On my recent Thursday evening visit, the pub was quite busy, mainly, so it would appear, with local office workers. The Xmas Drinkies season now seems to be upon us and there were the usual mixed groups of squiffy and giggly girls and men - many of whom were old enough to know better - leching and leering and trying to look down their blouses in anone too subtle manner. Background music was loud enough to make sensible conversation difficult and there's a strictly limited number of times that I want to hear the perennial favourites from Wizzard, Slade etc. However, staff seemed efficient and on the ball and I got served impressively quickly. Both the Spitfire and the Bishops Finger at £ 3.25p and £ 3.30p respectively were in excellent form. The Master Brew was the only other Sheps beer on. The pub is clearly CAMRA friendly and I was able to pick up a copy of the latest London Drinker. The WHB is one of those typical pubs that London seems to specialise in - nothing specifically to like or dislike at all. I might pop in again if passing by - particularly at a quieter time - but then again, I might just carry on past the pub. It's that sort of pub really JohnBonser - 7 Dec 2009 12:39 |
