Nice beer and surroundings but poor service Arrived at 13.38 and had to wait eight minutes to get served which in itself is not a problem However when eventually got served at 13.46 and ordered a sandwich was told the kitchen closed at 13.45 and would not take the order as one minute late despite having to wait ! Terrible customer care The pub seems to be run more as a hobby than a business Needless to say I won’t be going again

Lovely service and atmosphere but the food was embarrassing, especially the fish and chips. Certainly not homemade and looked like it had been bought out of the local Tesco and hour ago. £17 for it with McCain (again, definitely not homemade) chips was extremely expensive.

We called on a Saturday to book a table but was told all tables inside ate booked but outside is first come first served and open at 12. So we set out early and took our dogs for a long walk and circled back to the carpark in plenty of time for 12 o'clock. A male staff member came out and I asked if the back garden was open,, he didn't even turn to answer me and just said no and walked off, I felt this was rude but We took a seat outside and waited for 12 o'clock, shortly after 12 a female member came out and informed us its all fully booked. We explained we called 2 days prior and was told you can NOT reserve outside. Left and won't be returning any time soon we planned our entire morning around having lunch there. Staff were rude and unfriendly.

food was very poor, £13.00 for a bed of lettuce and a tin of salmon on the top (this was meant to be a salmon salad) the salmon still had the indentation of the tin on it, also ordered catch of the day when it came it was like Iceland processed cod, also ordered the steak and the mushrooms were full of water obviously frozen mushrooms but steak was ok I would recommend as a dog walking pub alright to grab a cold drink on your way around

We have only recently stumbled across this pub, and have to say its just a shame we didn't find it earlier. This is what a pub should be, a pub that sells beer, but also sells food, as opposed to a pub that sells food, but also beer. I love pubs to be pubs and not restaurants. 5 real ales, a real treat nowadays, very friendly staff, very clean and tidy. 2 bars, dog friendly, tucked away in the middle of galley wood with plenty of parking

Never been to this pub before and it was a geocaching event so it was not our choice to come here. It was very nice to be honest the food was good and good value for the price. It a pub with food not a restaurant so the price is reflected in that. Nice friendly barman and a good selection of local real beers. Both of had no complaints

Been here a few years ago, gone downhill. Firstly asked for the beetroot wellington which I was told there wasn't left so I was happy to go with just the potatoes and veg, The chef then miraculously found the beetroot wellington. It was obvious he couldn't be bothered to make it. Microwave potatoes to the point they were chewy, veg small portion. Choc torte dessert was nice although still icy as hadnt been throughly defrosted. Wont reccomend.

We have been back to The White Hart quite a few times since I posted this review. We have had excellent meals every time. Todays meal 20/11/24 was truly excellent. The moules marrinaire were absolutely delicious. The skate was enormous and delicious. My wife's cod was also a really generous portion and delicious. Again the whole experience was first class. A spur of the moment decision to try The White Hart on a wednesday lunchtime for the first time. What a lovely place to eat and relax, really friendly and welcoming staff. From the initial phone call to book to being served we were looked after by Olivia she was absolutely brilliant. Friendly, funny and really attentive. We had Skate and Cod with chips as our main courses with tempora prawns as a starter. All of the food was really nice, delicious good sized portions and piping hot. Really reasonable prices. 2 drinks 2 starters and 2 mains for £45 ! Really good value and will definitely be returning. It was a really pleasant experience and judging by how busy the place was a lot of other people thought so as well.
