We booked the Purple room for a 21st party. The venue is conveniently located with a good size car park. The room is a good size and shape for a party with a seating alcove for those wanting to chat. We were allowed to place decorations around the room and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The buffet food was good quality and the staff set it out for us. Would thoroughly recommend this venue.

If you’re looking to have a party then I’d definitely go here, recently had my 30th and it was brilliant. I originally booked with the saints and they were awful and unorganised, the old white hart relieved all the anxiety for me and I couldn’t have had a better time. Staff were really accommodating and polite, food was great too. Thank you!

Prices are too high there is nothing special about this place the manageress and other staff are poor examples of bar staff. I cannot understand the good reviews here which are highly suspect when compared with the very poor reviews they continually receive on Google reviews.

This was a decent pub where I met a group of friends for drinks and a meal. I would say the drinks were on the expensive side (£2.20 for half a pint of lemonade if I recall correctly). The food was mostly in the range of around £10-£12 if I remember correctly for a main which I think is not necessarily cheap, but not outrageous for a pub main. The seating was comfortable the place was spacious enough to not feel overly crowded when a lot of tables were in use. The staff were friendly and helpful. Hot drinks including decaf was also available, and the menu included a couple veggie options - I would say it seemed suitable for vegetarians (unsure about vegans) but not great for people wanting more than 1 or 2 vegetarian options. Overall, I would return to this pub and generally recommend it.

Sorry to say that our pork belly and ribs were a little more than average. The chorizo didn't work well with the cabbage. Maybe it was a busy night due to the 40% off. I always want to five this place 5 stars, but I must say id I'd paid full price id been very disappointed.

I wish we could give half stars on TripAdvisor!Ate here last night with friends. Our table was booked for 8 o’clock, however we were the only ones in the restaurant. They were obviously serving food in the bar, as we saw really appetising looking plates containing burgers, being served from the serving hatch.We ordered our drinks which, when they arrived, found my pink gin and tonic definitely didn’t taste like pink gin and tonic. The waitress assured me that that’s what it was but when my husband tasted it, he confirmed it tasted ‘funny’. The waitress wasn’t convinced until she then tried it and immediately ordered a replacement. I don’t know if maybe it was a different type of gin or whether there had been something wrong with it, but the replacement was fine. (I would’ve expected my word had been enough, especially as I told her this is a drink I have all the time, with the same gin and the same tonic... but there we are!!!)Although the menu is a little limited the dishes offered, were varied and very much to our liking. We decided on the two courses for £16, alternatively we could of had three courses for £21.50I was going to have the beer battered cod goujons with Lemon mayo which sounded lovely but they were served with calamari and whitebait, which I didn’t fancy.So for starters, two of us had chicken liver pâté with apple and brandy chutney and the other three ordered tandoori chicken skewers with Lemon and coriander cous cous. Both options were very good!We were told straightaway that we couldn’t order the fish and chips as they had run out of fish, which was a little disappointing for Friday night especially as the restaurant was empty and considering it was an already limited menu.However, we had been informed from the offset so, four of us decided on the striploin of beef, red wine and mushroom pie served with horseradish mash, thyme roasted carrots and red wine gravy. The pies had a rustic home-made appearance.I, On the other hand, had the seafood linguine described as “cod, mussels and prawns in a creamy white wine sauce served ‘on a bed of linguine’, served with house salad and garlic bread”, but to be more accurate there was a handful of mussels in their shells served on top, while the cod and prawns were mixed ‘in’ with the linguine. A little pedantic perhaps but I just want to give you an accurate description! Given the choice I would’ve liked a separate plate for my shells and I would’ve liked the offer of Parmesan cheese for my linguine, but had already had to get up from the table twice, once to chase my replacement drink and once because we’d had a spillage. The waitress was out of sight, as she was serving behind the bar. So, I decided I wasn’t bothered enough to wait. I’m very slow at eating and wanted to get on with my food before it got cold. I must say we couldn’t fault the food. We all pretty much cleared our plates.From where we were sitting in the dining room, we could hear some very loud people at the bar but after our meal, we still decided to go into the bar as there was not much atmosphere in the restaurant, being the only diners seated.After some time, the three noisy patrons to the side of us, who had been responsible for the raised voices we could hear earlier, became too much for us. So we decided to leave. The acoustics seem to amplify their voices which were already at a very high volume. They were sitting next to each other but seemed to need to shout which made it very difficult for a conversation within our group. Obviously this was no reflection of the Old White Hart itself, so I would give this restaurant the label of “Good“.I would say, the waitress was very good, despite the fact she doubted my word.We would definitely visit this restaurant again, and perhaps next time, try there vegetarian options.Unfortunately TripAdvisors rating goes; Three stars = average Four stars = very goodI would place them somewhere in between, given my comments above, but for the benefit of the doubt I’ve rated them four stars!

This place is a wee gem! We came on a Tuesday night for an event held at the pub. The menu had loads of good options including good veggie and vegan options. Also Monday to Thursday they have 50% off which is a steal. My partner ordered the chicken burger and I had the halloumi burger, both were delicious. I was worried the halloumi would be too salty but it was wonderful and tasty. Food came quick and the staff were lovely and it was a bargain but would have happily paid full price! Really lovely atmosphere in the pub and lots of comfy seats to settle into. The upstairs room for the event was also lovely and had plenty of room. I'll definitely be back!

Been here a few times and while it's nice, the food can be a bit hit and miss. This time the food seemed to go down really well. We had a set menu and there was no choice for starters, it was just bread, meat and olives. As a veggie (that doesn't like olives) this kinda left me with just the bread so I asked the waitress to swap the meat for some cheese. She said this was fine but then nothing arrived. After we mentioned it to the waitress again, the kitchen had done me my own platter with a variety of cheeses and bread which was so goood. The main courses were Huge! I dont think anyone on our table could finish their plate, especially with alcohol flowing! The staff were so accommodating considering we got a little rowdy after all the prosecco and let us stay at our table for much longer than we should've done.

I went to this establishment as part of a large party booked for an evening meal which had been pre-ordered. The whole evening was chaos. People served the wrong dishes, people served what the pub though were the right dishes but they did not meet the title. Long waits and some folk didn't get both course. Many apologies from the management and a much reduced bill but the explanation that the first chef was away and the staff could not cope was a bit thin. Would I go back, unlikely.

Came in for a drink but the draft ales were strangely off. However we persevered opting for bar meals and a designer lager. All good, helpful staff and smart decor - so what's the problem? Well it lacks ambiance, nicely decorated but with no curtains or pictures on the walls. Looks like the painter and decorator has just walked off, with no thought of softening the surroundings and making it feel relaxed, warm and comfortable. Maybe it's the minimalist approach. Pity really as it is local.

We even brought some decorations which they were happy with us to put up and decorate the table with.

Popped in for lunch with some friends here. I had never been before so was pleasantly surprised by how fantastic the decor is. The menu is amazing, I really struggled with what to pick! I ended up going for a flatbread from the bar menu and it was delicious. The staff were really friendly and helpful and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. The only disappointment was that a member of our party wanted to take some of their leftovers with them and was told they couldn't due to 'health and safety'. I've never heard that from any other restaurants before it it was such a waste! A shame as it was an otherwise faultless visit!

We were hungry and it seemed that everywhere (apart from fast food) was not serving at 4pm (which is fair enough). We approached the pub and it looked inviting so we thought we'd chance our arm and see if they were still serving food. It turned out that they were. The menu had a good choice - from mussels to pies to burgers and very reasonably priced. Unusually for us we both ordered the same - classic pub grub, burgers chips and onion rings. Washed down with a pint of real ale and a lemonade.

We had been told about the Old White Hart, it is a bit different. The inside was a very modernised 30's building. The menu is small but very filling and good. The staff were really nice and helpful. The top floor is a music venue, a folk club. After our meal we went upstairs and were entertained by a duo called Jenkinsons Folly who were excellent.A really good evening out!They have a good outside space with a large covered area for nice weather, I am sure very popular in the summer.

We visited the restaurant today after remembering that the old white hart served fantastic food and had exceptional service. However, this was not the case today. We were not greeted with a warm welcome and we sat in the bar area which was not a problem. After being told we would be given menus, we had to hunt someone down to ask for them after 10 minutes. The waitress seemed to have no idea about the restaurant. We were told mixed messages about whether there were or were not sandwiches sold. When we were finally given a "sandwich" menu, there was little choice - unlike on the website. When ordering, the waitress seemed very inexperienced and it was a struggle to order. The restaurant lacked any character and made a Saturday lunchtime feel extremely awkward. The food was okay, the grilled goats cheese sandwich was cold and not grilled. This is a real shame as the restaurant and pub used to have a superb atmosphere and feeling of sophistication.

Our waitress was very friendly and we were served quickly.We ordered 4 steak burgers, 1 bottle of wine and 4 pints and the bill came to just over £80. Our burgers were delicious, although the pancetta was a little closer to being burnt rather than crispy and the chips were huge!Would definitely visit again.

What has happened to the quality of food in this lovely pub. I have eaten here before and always been very impressed. In fact, we had a family meal here the night before my daughters wedding and it was brilliant. I remember a really interesting menu with a good variety of dishes on offer including venison steaks and sea bass. However I visited last week with a group of colleagues for lunch and the first disappointment was the fairly uninspiring menu. And it got worse when the food arrived. One of the party ordered a ciabatta which was burned. To be fair this was replaced. Another of the party ordered the superfood salad with salmon. The waitress returned to the table and said it would be smoked salmon and was that ok? The person ordering does not like smoked salmon so she asked if she could have a salmon fillet instead. She was told this was not possible which was strange as baked salmon was on the menu and two of our party ordered it so I fail to understand the difficulty of cooking another one and adding it to the salad. The final moan is that the salad had included avocado which needed to be cut with a steak knife as it was so unripe. On a positive note my sandwich was fine as were the rest of the meals but it's such a shame as we've always had good food at the Old White Hart. I'd like to think this was a temporary blip but unfortunately the damage may have already been done. Sorry to be so negative but I really was very disappointed on this occasion.

Came to the Old White Hart and had a fantastic time. Was made to feel welcome from the moment I arrived to the moment I left. The service was efficient and was willing to tend to any requirements that was asked. The food was absolutely fantastic and highly recommended! A nice blend of classic food and stylish food on the menu giving a great array of options.Well worth checking out and experiencing! You won't regret it. All of the staff was welcoming.

So I chose this place on the trip advisor score and food pictures and I'm afraid to say on this occasion I have been failed.The decor, seating and chairs are lovely and that apart from one other thing are the only positives I can note.The chap behind the bar finished his conversation with a colleague before coming to serve me and seemed quite reluctant to do even that.We then went over to let the ladies know we were there to eat and had pre-booked. We were advised to pick a table and it would be set up. 10 minutes later we got napkins and cutlery and was asked what we wanted to order. I asked for a menu and that I would decide after seeing it. A bad start and it just got worse from there. I won't list the issues as they are numerous and particularly disappointing but if you don't know what condiments you have, what you have run out of or what cut of meat your roast beef is made from its poor service from a 'gastropub'.My boyfriend, who is a Yorkshireman, said the Yorkshire puddings were exceptional but the rest of the dinner was poor. His beef was well done and mine was rare. How we like it actually but you would expect to be asked if there was that much difference. The veg was soggy and carrots wrinkled. Potatoes were nice but not crispy and the gravy was quite thin. I'm not usually so negative but combined with the really really poor service I feel quite aggrieved to have spent over £30.

Chose here for a Sunday lunch based on Trip Adviser. The staff gave a friendly welcome and got our drinks in good time but took a long time to take our food order.After ordering, I had to check where our starters were as it was a full hour after we arrived. They'd forgotten to put the order through to the kitchen.It was then a full 2 hours after arriving that we got our main courses. The food was okay, but my starter had hollandaise sauce so thick it was like jelly and my fish and chips had minted peas that were so dry and clumpy I couldn't touch them.To their credit, they were very apologetic and offered to waive the bill but it doesn't change the fact I wouldn't recommend the place if you're looking for any quality.

Stumbled across this place and I am glad I did! Trying to eat healthily while working away from home and staying in a hotel is very challenging. The menu is great and full of temptation, while the super salad is just that.Great staff. Great food. Reasonable prices. Will return!

We booked our Christmas dinner here for 18 people. I like the pub, it has a nice ambiance and decor. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the food was good. The only issue was how many they were catering for on the night, it was perhaps just too many and led to a fractured service.

My local and has always been a nice pub that always historically went above and beyond on service. Though popped in last Thursday for birthday drinks with a group of 7 and the two non drinking members asked for tea/hot drinks. We were told there was no hot drinks machine. Also told there wasn't even a kettle for a simple tea/coffee. Disappointing but not deterred we left and popped down to the windhover and did about 5rounds there as they were able to cater for all drinks both alcoholic and otherwise. Normally favour smaller more homely pubs and sometimes drinks machines breaking can't be helped but think I've just switched pub allegiances as it just didn't seem like they were bothered.
