Best KPortal Reviews

New owners doing a great job. Lovely piping hot tasty food. Table service, chips especially good, not frozen muck. Kids portions massive, simple sausage chips and beans would suffice. Could do with a kids burger and chips maybe, and a steak knife. Early days but everything great.
Nice local pub with food but no good for real ale drinkers. I visited on 9th February 2024 the place was clean and tidy and I received a warm welcome from the member of staff that served me. However it was a great disappointment that despite having 5 hand pumps they were all empty of real ale.
Sadly I went to Wetherspoons instead.
I will give this place another try if they can get their act together by managing their availability of cask beers,
We ate here on Friday afternoon. In the conservatory as we had my puppy with us. The food was lovely, and service was great! Special thanks to the head chef Darren, food was lovely and he gave my pup a carrot stick to keep him busy while we ate.
Will definitely be back to try Sunday lunch.
Hard to review. For the price, fantastic and I would say a 4 star. All this food and 2 large drinks came to £25. However, the pie was different from the one pictured on the menu. Rather disappointing. The chips were full on cheap frozen, still slightly frozen, chips. The choice of 3 small plates (starters) for a tenner (or 5 for £13) is great way to spread the taste. The beef was, erm, beef. Only a small bit of it was fatty and not editable. Nice, simple British pub vibes. Pleasant, clean, early 2000's music playing, lighting on the darker side which personally, I prefer.
5 adult meals, 4 said it was OK and 1 said very good. All said the portions were generous.
Staff friendly but could do with a face-lift, looking a little tired.
A very recent visit and sorry but I'm not impressed. I know that it has new owners etc but sorry, its not a patch on those who've had it over the past few years when I've been.
Each to their how they run it. Having over the years bought the small plates options - there's now not a great selection (and no offers on these now), and I honestly wouldn't recommend the brushetta - the bread was harder than concrete, on a plus the fries were nice, I wouldn't say the crispy garlic chicken was as advertised. Not a great selection on gins etc either.
Staff very friendly enough but no interest in plates and glasses being cleared off the table and no excuse if it being busy... it was dead.
Needs a lot more improvement.
Being local you'd like to use it and frequent it as a local, but at present I'd rather get a taxi and travel a but further for better quality
Visited today for sunday lunch. Booked for six people dinner was excellent service quick and efficient. Only reservation we had was where our table was positioned was not suitable. Other than that i would certainly recommend the Whitehills for a visit.
Great little dog friendly pub with good food. Burger was well cooked, and great value for what came with it. Great location for dog walkers as its only a 5 minute drive from Waldridge fell.
Dogs are welcome both inside and out, with a rear beer garden perfect for dogs. If it's quiet, they could easily be let off the lead.
