The White Hart in Chichester

Online reviews were good, however, we were very disappointed with main course. Ordered Kofta, with fetta salad and flat bread from special menu at £20. Kofta OK, but salad was very basic with one cube of fetta, and bread was burnt and dry. Won't be going again.

Amazing Sunday Roast, fantastic staff especially Shannon, Meg and the 2 Alex’s, a warm and welcoming atmosphere, highly recommend!

Another amazing time at the White Hart! Fantastic food, thank you Jordan and Corina with brilliant service and cocktails from Shannon and Emma. Lovely atmosphere, just a shame we couldn't buy the staff a drink to show our appreciation.

We very impressed by both the food and the service from Abi, Tom and Jaq. I had the 3 course menu - the pate starter and the chocolate mousse with honeycombe pudding were particularly tasty. Good beer choice too in comfortable surroundings

A classic country pub with a cosy atmosphere with delicious and reasonably priced food, served by a friendly team. Thank you Thelma and Jackie :)

As part of a plan to visit the local area, this became the favoured overnight stop & a booming was made for evening meal & a room. An amazing pub, that is so old, friendly and full of character, serving all the usual drinks. Evening meal was a table for 4, and we all agreed that the service & food was perfect, so much so, that the person eating the ham, chicken pie dived in before I could get a photo. The pan fried duck breast was cooked to perfection & full of flavour. 3 sticky toffee puddings & a possett rounded off the meal. Yummy. The room was compact, very quiet, cosy & comfy and with Branley toiletries - what more could you want. The room had a couple of maintenance niggles, which we reported & management said they were being actioned. Overall, a superb country pub, one that I'd recommend and come back to.

Nice traditional pub, but really disappointed in the food on this visit. The vegetarian options are fairly limited which wouldn’t be too much of an issue if the portions were good. We saw others served generous portions of fish and chips etc but the vegan burger was really small with no sides except fries. Not good value for £16:50. They also automatically add 12.5% which is described as ‘discretionary’ - but you have to ask to reduce it which is just awkward. We won’t be returning.

We went here for lunch for my wife’s birthday and couldn’t have picked a better place. When I made the reservation I mentioned it was my wife’s birthday and asked to be seated next to a window if possible. We arrived to a warm welcome and not only were we seated by a window by my wife was offered a complimentary glass of Prosecco as well. We were looked after by Jo who was both polite and friendly. The food came out quickly, perfectly cooked and everything tasted really fresh. We both had delicious deserts as well. This is everything a country pub should be - spotlessly clean, open fire, cosy and comfortable decor, lovely staff, tasty food with perfect portions and reasonably priced. - best place we’ve been to for a long time and the perfect pick for a birthday lunch. Will definitely be recommending to others!

Lovely country pub with really great atmosphere and fantastic live music on Valentines Day evening. Will definitely be back.

Charming restaurant and pub, friendly and solicitous staff, allowed us to park there before our booked time so we could walk up to Harting Down. Excellent Sunday lunch.

Great food and service. Nice cosy pub with good atmosphere. The deputy manager who served us was brilliant - friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back.

For the attention of Rob Goodier, Upham Inns. We stayed at the White Hart on 5 November in one of your double rooms for a special occasion on our way to a family celebration. When we arrived we were informed that you were having 'issues' with the boiler. An electric heater had been put in our room and we were advised there should be some hot water. The heater was fine and warmed the room but there was absolutely no hot water. We had dinner in the pub that evening and were told that there would be some hot water for a shower in the morning. We got up early in the morning and ran and ran the hot water but it was stone cold so we could not shower as it was freezing cold. We complained at breakfast about no hot water and were only then told that the reason for this was that they had run out of heating oil for the boiler as it had not been ordered from the supplier. So the tale about having boiler issues was completely untrue and the actual reason was due to the failure of management to order a supply of oil in good time and before it had totally run out. We were angry as had we known the true situation when we arrived, we would have stayed somewhere else that night. In fact, we should have been informed before we arrived and given the option to stay or make alternative arrangements. The whole experience spoilt two days of what was supposed to be a special break away. In future, have respect for your customers and do not lie. Tell the truth if there is an issue so your customers can make an informed decision as to what they want to do. You tell people if you have run out of roast beef for dinner so why did you not tell us about running out of heating oil and that was the real reason the boiler wasn't working?

I was lucky enough to be part of a pre-Christmas festive get-together here on Thursday evening. The food was top notch as usual, and the tables were beautifully decorated. The roaring fire and two huge Christmas trees gave as warm a welcome as the three ladies on duty (Thelma, Megan and Lynnie) who made the whole night an absolute joy.

I stayed here for one night as I was in the West Sussex area with work. The White Hart is a lovely pub with rooms. I stayed in a comfy double room which was across the car park in what looked like a converted storage or stable block. It was on ground level (room 2) and was fabulous, converted to a very high standard with characterful wooden beams etc, and with a lovely bathroom and shower. But what really stood out for me was the service, all staff were so friendly which is really important to me as a woman travelling solo. Nothing was too much trouble. The food at dinner and breakfast was delicious. Breakfast was really varied, with cereals, breads and pastries, fresh fruit, and loads of cooked options. I would definitely go back, and would like to say thank you to everyone at the White Hart for my lovely stay.

Stayed overnight at this lovely village inn. Very friendly welcome and lovely room.Delicious breakfast.Would definitely go back.

The atmosphere is excellent and the pub is a proper country pub. It was busy and we were there for lunch. Staff were friendly and found us a table for 2 near the bar even though they were fully booked. We ordered our food which...

We had lunch booked here for four adults on Friday 10 November at 1pm. The village this pub is in is really lovely and the White Hart seems to be the focal point which compliments the area. We loved the historic and beautiful building. We...

My husband and I have just returned from a 4 night stay. Our room was excellent - clean, roomy, very warm and very well furnished. The staff were really friendly and made us feel very welcome and nothing was too much bother. Will definitely stay...

Just wanted to say what fun I had today, singing along with/to the 'Piano Man' after a lovely lunch with friends. I am approaching the anniversary of my wife's massive stroke so feeling a little down. Thank you for cheering me up no end xx

Visited for lunch with friends. Very nice pub excellent service and good quality pub meal. We had burgers, fish and chips, mussels all excellent and at a fair price.

Booked 3 rooms (two family and 1 double) to help facilitate a wedding locally. Beautiful rooms, quite unique and very boutique hotel feel to them and all in a courtyard at the back of the pub. A little patina but very clean and well designed...

Absolutely perfect, we stayed for a few nights over the weekend of our wedding, The rooms are fantastic with every little details perfected, great beds and felt very welcome; nothing was too much too Ask from the staff and the food was amazing, 5 star...

We stayed here while walking the South Downs Way, it’s a lovely place to stay and the food was excellent. The room we had was very comfortable and had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay.

Usual country pub with limited parking.Dark inside. Flower baskets on the front were attractive but sadly they were the only flowers.There weren’t any in the rear garden. Disappointing and lazy. It was a scruffy garden,uncared for and messy. The tables mainly benches had seen better...

Excellent food, surroundings and service. Great choice of normal and different dishes. Great garden at the rear, and easy parking. What’s not to like?

Having sat at a neighbouring table to the previous reviewer (Mia Standing) I really can't believe we ate at the same pub! We also had roast chicken (a whole chicken breast, stuffing, roasties, veg AND a Yorkshire Pudding) and found it very far from 'sparse'!...

The White Hart is an excellent country pub with a good menu and well served beer. The service is very good and the food is well above average for a pub. Also has very comfortable rooms.

Stayed 2 nights in the Family room. Fantastic! Full of oak beams. Lovely view of pub garden and nearby hills. Great big bath. Really atmospheric. It's also a great local pub. The food is excellent too, and all the staff super friendly and helpful.

After years of driving past this lovely old pub and saying 'we must go in one day', we finally made it on Sunday! We were greeted by a lovely smiley lady who said she was very sorry but they were fully booked until 3pm so...

We came this evening as we have before, would recommend ribeye and fish and chips. Great sticky toffee, we shall return. Polite gentleman called Bob was attentive. Recommend

Disappointing! Went with friends for something to eat this evening. I had the fish and chips which were tasteless and greasy. Couldn’t eat it and when we told them they weren’t interested.

Lovely place to stay. We only stayed for one night but thoroughly enjoyed our large and we'll equipped room. Very tasty real ales - I enjoyed Flack's double drop but other choices were available. After a sound night's sleep we enjoyed an excellent breakfast. All...

I had a fantastic stay here at the White Hart! The room was immaculate and utterly charming, totally in tune with the history of the pub without feeling too kitsch. In the restaurant I was pleasantly surprised by the number of vegan options available, both...

Had a lovely day yesterday, the music was lovely, however the queue for the bar was ridiculous, waited over 30mins at one point to be served, 90% of the staff members didn’t have a clue what they were doing and appeared to be extremely incompetent,...

Saw an event scrolling through Facebook about live bands in a pub in a nearby village. Never been before so thought I would today with the family to have a listen and enjoy the bbq. Well I had the kofta from the bbq which for...

Wonderful meal (local trout with salad nicoise) in a wonderful pub with excellent staff (Molly and Flo - I think!)

Lovely place and location but sadly the fish, chips and peas very poor, fish average, frozen chips, overcooked and scrappy, think they must have come to the end of the packet, peas were a teaspoon portion, food wasn't hot. We had drinks, a peroni and...

South Harting is a very pretty village just off the South Downs Way. The White Hart is a fantastic traditional English pub with excellent food and a fabulous breakfast. Best bacon ever! The staff are extremely friendly and welcoming and the pub is dog-friendly (including...

We had an absolutely lovely stay with really friendly staff! The room was very spacious with a coffee machine and cafetière. Bonus points for extra comfy pillows! The beer on tap was delicious and we enjoyed it in the sunny beer garden! Fun was had...

We just had lunch at the White Hart Pub in South Harting. I had smoked haddock, the food was so poor that I left most of it there. The piece of fish was very small and hard, it was served with some sort of fried/mashed...

I wanted to say a big thank you to the staff at the White Hart. I was in a bit of a fix doing the South Downs Way with a low battery on my bike and unable to go any further and they really went...

A mixed review. Our welcome was disappointing. There is a section you wait at to be checked in. A barman was there in the middle of something. Fine, no problem. I certainly don’t mind waiting at all however, there wasn’t even an acknowledgment from him....

Very disappointing breakfast, cold poached eggs, no expresso coffee offered . We were staying at the pub, the rooms were small but clean

Welcoming staff on arrival, but quite average menu choices. Didn't tell us they had run out of scampi from Specials menu until we went to order. Fish and chips excellent (really great chips). BUT we didn't have a pudding, so after a while (9.45pm) we...

Amazing hotel, the rooms are so lovely Decorated and furnished. Complete luxury. The breakfast was amazing, very varied and everting fresh. We had a lovely evening meal there too. All staff friendly and helpful. We are coming back july again for two nights. Beautiful place

Lovely setting in gorgeous village Cute authentic pub Lovely service and incredible pie Great ales on tap Can’t wait to go again

We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch at the White Hart, which is a charming pub with a wonderful atmosphere. The menu is short and varied suiting most tastes, and the food is delicious. Great pub to visit.

We decided to use this pub as a half way point to meet friends for a catch up and were very pleased we did the food was excellent as was the service in this lovely cosy little pub which had a very welcoming fire 🔥...

We had a lovely evening with friends , service was impeccable and the knowledge of the staff was great. Food was outstanding not one bad mouthful from all 4 of us , drinks were served on time and nice and cold. We were irattated by...

Driving into the village we first saw the church and then the White Hart pub , it was a very cold day so we popped in for lunch , entering the hostelry we got a friendly welcome from the young lady behind the bar ,...

Excellent service, delicious pork roast with real crackling, food and venue is lovely with a real wood fire. Marvelous atmosphere. Thank you. We all enjoyed it

I took advantage of their 3 courses for £20 offer twice in the last week of January and reaped the benefit of the Sunday roast which was excellent. Staff absolutely brilliant and attentive. Thoroughly recommend!

We visited for dinner twice in a row over the wknd after two days of paragliding and hiking. The first time just as a couple and the second with friends. We had very nice meals. Good friendly & attentive service from the same bar lady...

We actually only dashed in as the toddler was desperate for a toilet stop on a king car journey. Explained this and the landlady very kindly agreed for us to use the toilets . When we came out she handed us freshly baked pan aux...

I have visited here several times and every time I am not disappointed. This visit was for lunch which was amazing as usual, I could not fault it, a special thanks to Jordan who catered well for my allergies. A dog friendly pub with lots...

What a find! This is a very friendly pub set in the beautiful Hampshire countryside. We had a stunning breakfast, lots of variety - the food was delicious! The staff are so welcoming and can’t do enough for you - we will certainly be back...

Ate at The White Hart on several occasions and it has been consistently good, however, today I ate here with 8 of my family and not only was the food excellent the service was fantastic. We were well looked after by Bertie and Shannon who...

I did not have dinner in the restaurant as I was only spending the night. The staff were polite and courteous and showed me to my very comfortable room. Nice bed, good linen, good shower with good quality toiletries. The room was fresh, but there...

We were welcomed to a roaring fire, sat opposite it and had a nice lunch, choosing from a menu with a variety of gorgeous sounding options. They catered well with allergies and we able to alter the options slightly to accommodate us. Will definitely return...

I came for dinner last week and had the most beautiful meal! Im a coeliac so have a strict gluten free diet, but I was reassured to see plenty of gluten free options! I had the fish pie on this visit and it was incredible!...

I was with a group of 17 who enjoyed a wonderful lunch on a cold wet November morning. We had prebooked an area in the pub and the staff had arranged the lower area of the bar for us. We had pre-ordered our food and...

Lovely cosy atmosphere in the inn, open fire. Great rooms with beds that you have the best night sleep ever!! Staff were not welcoming and friendly. Evening meals were poor with several tables complaining. Breakfast was awful!! It’s a shame the staff let this place...

I took a good friend here on a beautiful autumn day. The pub is a typically English country pub but has a menu to suit everyone! We booked for 1 pm on a Saturday which was just in time as the place was packed by...

A lovely pub in the centre of the village. A good choice of beers and and a decent choice of dishes at sensible prices with polite service. Try the Whitebait.

Nice big room with comfortable furnishings and good quality appliances. Restaurant food excellent with friendly welcoming staff . Gets very busy sunday lunchtime.but evening quieter. Low ceilings throughout as in keeping with the property age .

Went there yesterday to meet family,very nice inside,had a meal ,asked for no cabbage on my plate ,got cabbage,food over priced and not very good ,dessert was dry and a bit stale,3 of us had the sticky toffee pudding,very poor ,would not eat there again

We dined at the white heart for my girlfriends birthday on Saturday night. It was our first time visiting and we couldn’t have been happier. The staff were friendly and facilitating throughout. The food was prompt, well presented and positively scrumptious. We felt very at...

We had one of the best meals here. The fish and chips were incredible and the roast was absolutely divine! A must visit for sure!

A must visit in my opinion. I hadn't been to the White Hart for a good few years but immediately regret not having done so. The food was extremely tasty. My family all went for the fish & chips which they refused to share with...

We stayed only one night during our walk on the South Downs Way. It was the most memorable lodging of our 7 day trek. We loved the history especially.

We ate here before catching the overnight ferry from nearby Portsmouth to Caen. Husband had some of the best fish & chips he has had for a long time and I had a lovely fish pie. We enjoyed it a lot and wish the pub...

Excellent lunch in the garden today. Very warm welcome and superb food in a lovely pub. Thoroughly recommended. Will definitely be back soon.

Thank you very much for the most amazing food ever, couldn’t fault any of it. Thank you also to Jo for her friendly service and making my dads birthday extra special. We will now be joining you for all our family special occasions! Would highly...

Sadly, the White Hart seems to have made cutbacks, so the portions are very small. We had the veggie roast, which was tiny (half the size it used to be). Most of the plate was filled with a large Yorkshire pudding. There was one (one!)...

Having experienced a really enjoyable meal as a couple two Saturdays ago we booked again for an early Sunday lunch with family. It was really disappointing. The roast pork was actually a slab of pork belly with leathery crackling and meat so tough and chewy...

Very much looked forward to our night away at this pub. The ambience was lovely and the staff accommodating. Unfortunately the food was very disappointing - the starter was tiny and we had to ask for bread. We ordered rib eye steak which was so...

Fantastic welcome, great service and delicious food. Full marks all round. Close to Uppark House and for lovely walks.

After a long day walking on the South Downs Way we arrived to a lovely warm welcome - both friendly and a cosy open fire. Very impressive rooms - and a great shower to refresh our weary muscles. Had a wonderful dinner - including good...

Stayed for 3 nites with our dog in 1 of the comfy doubles , rooms are lovely to a high standard , if a little small, shower is excellent , bed very comfy . The area & gardens are superb & the pub itself is...

The White Hart is in a lovely village and we received a very warm welcome from the team. Our room (room 7) was just beautiful, plenty of room for our large dog and all the amenities you would want. Was lovely to see big mugs...

The family room was comfortable, well designed with everything you would expect. What let this place down was the quality of food. We had known the gas was off in the kitchen and so menu limited, this was not the cause of our issues. The...

Upon entering the pub we remarked on how cold it was and the friendly staff offered to light a fire for us. All staff members were very kind and welcoming despite us having 2 small kids and a dog! Both childrens and adults menus were...

Sadly disappointed! The pub was too cold on entering and there was no heating or open fire to give a hearty welcome, nor by the owner /manager. The pork chop and hollandaise sauce that I'd ordered from the lunch time menu arrived in a less...

We stayed in Room 1 - lovely spacious room, well appointed and nice cosy country decor. Great breakfast and lovely staff - special shout out to Sophie who is super helpful!

Very poor welcome by owner / manager and staff… a booking issue creating massive unnecessary stress.. other customers were so helpful and provided solutions.. the beef wasn’t as good as I’d expect with a pub with such a good reputation .. not impressed

Absolute gem of a place. All the staff were very helpful, friendly and caring. We had an evening meal which was, as far as I’m concerned, delicious, every course. The whole place was warm and extremely welcoming and the room was very well appointed, warm...

Excellent Sunday lunch, attentive staff, lovely atmosphere. Visited Uppark National Trust then Sunday lunch an excellent day

Stopped here on cycling touring holiday and absolutely loved it. Rooms were done to a high standard in keeping with a rural pub, the food was the best I've tasted in years and the service was superb. Could not fault a thing. They didn't even...

It was a nice friendly place to stay. Bedroom was comfy though not large and no bath. However refurbished to a good standard. Dinner was good, though the taco was definitely over chilly, it was a cold wet night and eating a mouthful of coldness...

We had a lovely stay at the White Hart, accommodation, staff and restaurant / pub all faultless BUT what we thought let it down was the fact that the cooked breakfast is not included. A continental breakfast is included but it’s difficult for someone with...

First visit to the White Hart and it won't be our last if we return to the area again. It was probably the best Sunday roast we have eaten out! Delicious food, great service and good value for money. Loved the decor inside the pub...

Superb menu selection for lunch. Good choice of wines. First visit but will be back again very soon.

The overall experience was underwhelming. The food was very average this is not a gastro pub with a really nice food offering.

Visited with my wife and daughter for an impromptu lunch. Almost all of the menu choices were or could be gluten free. My wife and I had fish and chips - the batter was made from cider and gf batter. It was delicious; crunchy, not...

I have known the White Hart for many years and, although Covid has necessarily dicated some changes, it is still the same old White Hart at 'Hart'! Leaning now more to 'gastro' than 'chicken in a basket' , it is none the worse for this...

Had a great 1 night stay at the White Hart. Room 5 was lovely - comfortable, cosy and nicely designed too. Couldn’t speak any higher of the staff, especially Bertie who was very accommodating and welcoming at dinner. Generally speaking, the atmosphere was really warm....

Last minute 2 nighter for my wife and I with our 10 year old daughter and dog. Room 1 was great. The pub, restaurant and food were super and the staff were lovely.

We stayed here for dinner bed and breakfast while walking on the Downs . The Pub is beautifully renovated and our rooms were clean and comfortable .My daughter and I shared a large twin in the main building and my husband had a double in...

We stayed 3 nights and were absolutely overwhelmed throughout our stay. To find a quaint UK pub with beautiful rooms, exceptional service and delicious food, has been a first for us. Every single member of staff was phenomenal, nothing was too much trouble. They took...

Really good lunch at a surprisingly empty White Hart today. Delicious ciabattas but what made it were the staff who were friendly and capable. A pub can be lovely but what makes them are the people behind the bar and this pub gets 10/10
