Old Boots left this review about White Horse Inn (Nellie's)
Probably the best known pub in Beverley, a multi room layout with the counter in the back left room after you enter through the central corridor. The front has I believe, three separate rooms of various sizes and at the back are the main bar, a number of small snugs and a disused old fashioned kitchen. The floors are a mix of cobbles and flags and all very ancient looking, the lights are conversions of older gas fittings but contrived to look as if they’re still gas powered. There is a modern extension at the back near the toilets. Most of John Bonser’s review is still applicable. Beer wise only Old Brewery Bitter of course and a wide range of Sam’s little boxes and bottles. Outstanding interior that’s never changed in all the years I’ve been coming here, except it’s cleaner, however the beer was tired.

Called in a couple of weeks after Will and I am pleased to report that the place was being well run my two older ladies on a Tuesday, early afternoon. Hopefully Will's experience was just a one off. As usual the clientele was mainly older, solitary blokes having a quiet pint or reading a paper. The OBB was indeed still a bit on the cold side.

My recent visit to this amazing pub was slightly spoilt by the beaviour of the very young barman, who I would guess from his hairstyle was only just 18. He alternated chatting with two young girls, who were standing at the bar in contravention of the only Covid-19 policy the pub possessed, and looking at his phone. Perhaps he was checking his emails for news of his impending sacking for breaking Humphrey Smith's rule number one. All the time, glasses were piling up on the tables, and two new customers actually cleared a table so that they could sit at it. They didn't get an acknowledgement, never mind a word of thanks.
Whoever is running this place needs to learn that you can't just give a kid a couple of days training and expect them to run a pub properly, even if it was a quiet midweek evening. It was quite disturbing to see an old pub, an old building, not to mention the customers being insulted by being treated so disdainfully. At 18 I'd have been lousy at customer service too, but my nerves were jangling when, with my years of experience, I saw how this undertrained young man was behaving.
The beer was good, though a little too cool, and I wouldn't want my experience to put anyone off going here for a visit.
