The White Horse, Harrow

Excellent refurbishment. Comfortable and welcoming without going too "Gastropub." Fullers beers are well kept while the Staropramen and Hoergarden will make a nice alternative on a summer's day. Even the wine list shows some imagination. Most impressive of all is the food. Nothing too poncey, just good, fresh ingredients cooked well. The steak sandwich was particularly impressive and the home made chips were superb. I'm sure there'll be a few comments on here from locals bemoaning the chages made to "their pub" - see the comments for The Castle up the road for evidence of this - but this is a textbook lesson on how to update a pub without destroying it's character. Well done.
