Food was tasty and arrived promptly, although it would be nice if there were more vegetarian options. The kitchen were considerate about the allergies we had and provided a menu clearly showing allergens without us having to ask. Leanne (our server) was friendly and helpful at all times and made sure we had everything we needed. Overall we had a very easy and tasty dinner after a tiring day.

We arrived here for lunch on a Friday, booked in advance. On arrival pleasant waitress showed us to a table. Music blaring so we moved to another. Seats worn faded cushions and sticky table. After about 10 minutes another waitress took our drinks order, then we asked any chance of fish and chips? To which she replied in a very loud voice NO FISH No apology nor alternative

Went to the showground the other day for the first time in a while and I’m gutted to write I was extremely disappointed with the food. They did say they were having trouble sourcing food but seriously I think it would of been better to close the kitchen or offer a discount I had vegan burger that wasn’t even big enough for a lunch menu let alone paying full price.

We arrived to an all most empty pub, asked if we booked, which we hadn’t the were asked to wait for 15 mins for a table. The place wasn’t almost empty, only reason I can see was, to prevent us ordering from the cheaper menu section of before 6pm. We were given a table in the side annex part, which was extremely cold, again as it was empty, not sure why we weren’t seated in the main pub, where it was warmer. The table was extremely sticky and clothes caught in it, we asked for the table to be clean, which is was to some extent, but not properly as was just as sticky after. Food took a long time to arrive, which as more less empty was surprising. After deciding not to have deserts, we weren’t asked if we needed more drinks or coffees. While the staff were pleasant enough, service could have been more efficient. The food was ok, but somethings they run out of. The place looks run down and old, especially doors and some of the paint. The hand dryers in the toilets don’t work properly and have enough power in them to effectively dry your hands. It needs a good clean and tidy up, and the toilets sorting out. Why make people wait 15 mins for a table in a nearly empty pub?

I had the Haddock and chips, well the menu says chips but I got fries. FRIES AND CHIPS ARE NOT THE SAME THING. The Haddock was really nice and a good size the non chips (fries) was tiny barely a mouthful. You get more fries in a Macdonalds happy meal. Every meal with fries was the same. You need to realise you're just a pub and are not a Michelin restaurant and normal people want proper adult sized portions especially considering the price. I would not choose to go there again (not my choice this time. I had to go to a takeaway after I left as I was still hungry. Poor very poor.

The food took nearly 40 minutes to arrive in an low occupancy restaurant. Not the best service as it was hard to get anyone's attention and the extremely overcooked tiny jacket potato with a stick of butter was extortionate! The childs menu isnt good either.

We had a very pleasant meal even though the service was very slow, staff were polite. Very nice atmosphere even though there was a very loud man in the bar. I asked a man who I assume was the manager that there was no soap in the ladies toilet he said he would deal with it but when I was leaving both soap dispensers were still empty so I had to use the disabled toilet. A mocca was ordered and we were charged for a Hot Chocolate and an Americano which came to £5.50, if we had known it would be this price we would not have ordered it, we queried it and were told we should have looked at the menu, there was no Mocca mentioned so we should have been informed.

Terrible experience, to be avoided at all costs. Hotel guest arrived before 7.30 pm, not pre-booked, car park was half empty, tables were half empty, asked at the bar for a table for six, and astonished to hear they could not cope with a table for six, disgusting, lame excuse that tables were booked, clearly a lie and staff wanting to finish early. Absolute disgrace, drove 5 minutes away to copperbeach where we were welcomed, a busier restaurant and happy to accept quests after 7.30. A long while since I've been treated like this and will not be forgotten.

Most of the food was served cold. What arrived was not as advertised or as ordered. Vegetables were ordered but not initially served. When they eventually arrived they were still frozen! Exceptionally small portions (6 Chips) and utterly shocking. The staff were friendly enough but knew how bad things were and how bad the food was. Do not even contemplate visiting this place under any circumstances. It is the worst restaurant I have ever had the misfortune of visiting.

We came across this place at the weekend for a last minute stay. We were very happy to find it, it is one of the friendliest and most welcoming places we have ever stayed.Our little dog was also made very welcome, with treats and meals offered. The service was exceptional. We were offered a complimentary cream tea on arrival, we had an evening meal and a delicious breakfast and everything was delicious. We would definitely recommend the White Hart and will definitely be returning. Thank you for making our stay so lovely.
