The White Hart in Stoke-on-Trent

Booked a table today first time in a while ...wasn't disappointed. Food was lovely. Ethan the chef was very polite and attentive. Will certainly be back

Lovely old inn, fantastic food, great service, Ethan and Ian are a credit, best food we've had in a while, came here for a party a couple of years ago and it wasn't good, but would definitely consider it for a function now.

A lovely breakfast cooked by Ethan n Sarah was a lovely friendly server always with a smile 😊 Will definitely come back again

This was my first time here but I really enjoyed the lunch time bingo with my mum it was the first time I have played bingo in ages Dan was a great caller

Stayed at the hotel over night. Great atmosphere, very quirky and old. Clean and comfortable. Could do with a little re vamp, coat of paint & new curtains but otherwise great for what we paid. All staff are friendly. Would recommend for a reasonable priced stay over.

Stayed just one night with breakfast included. Staff were very nice and couldn't fault the evening meal (30% off as we were staying) or the breakfast. Positives: Quiet room, good shower. Comfy bed, think it was queensize. Hairdryer in the room. Great location. Negatives: could do with redecorating. Mirror had obviously fallen from the wall, so couldn't see yourself in it to dry your hair. No headboard. Leaky bathroom radiator which was on constantly even though it was summer.

Omg what can I say haha!!! The room didn’t have a headboard- wallpaper peeling- no mirror on the wall - grubby handprints everywhere - net curtain ripped and holes just not acceptable at all!!! Why are beautiful old English pubs allowed to rent rooms like this absolutely disgusting

The Karaoke was a ball, Steph, Juliette, Bryn and Daisey were great hosts, it makes a change from the Odd Couple that have been hovering around recently. I understand that new managers need to learn but, my friend Sid han been banned for no reason other than Speciesm, they are more corporate than the Labour Party of the 90's. Whilst I am on a rant, buy a new Boiler it is cost effective to get an energy efficiant modern Boiler, rather than spending and spending on keeping the old boiler, wheezing, like a smoking Asthmatic. Jade, Juliette and the staff are capable of running the Hart, consider it as bonding and team building.

Had a great meal here. Was a lovely atmosphere and the food was great. The staff were amazing with out little one and helped us to make changes to the kids meal to suit what we knew little would eat.

Was a northern soul evening..very good time with friends,drank wine and danced to great music. Roll on the next!

My wife and I enjoyed a meal here last Saturday night. My wife chose the Steak Surf & Turf which was OK, but nothing special. I had the Cowboy Burger, a double burger with American cheese, some chopped lettuce and crispy bacon on top of a toasted bun, served with McDonald-style fries and burger sauce in a separate dish This burger was exceptional, probably the best I have ever had in a pub in the UK! I'm not a chip lover, but I eat ever one of my fries, even though they could have been hotter and I had no salt on the table. The burger itself was superb, a really enjoyable experience. Well done with that one chef!

Came in for dinner and Dan once again looked after us and made sure the night was enjoyable. Great landlord and will be back again soon

Dan the manager looked after us from start to finish. Food was great and served quickly. Will be back soon

A quaint Hostlery, a place to imbibe a hearty cider with friends, Ghandi was not there on this fine day, the Colonel was sat on the bat watching the world go around, like the One Eyed Yellow Idol of a past poem. The White Hart is a breath of tradition in a town where the Pubs have been turned in to cold style Night Clubs, it has a rich history, where the hanging spot was in te 18th century. It is said that that the ghosts of the past still hauntthe walls of the hotel. There is the tale of the man, bald of head and fat of belly, a harmless slap in the night is worth the risk, for many stories he has to tell. Take your fizzy Orange he wil say, for his advice is Sage.

Stayed in the hotel last year and was disappointed with the room which had torn net curtains and awful mouldy windowsills but the breakfast was good so as l was in the area again decided to take a friend there for lunch. Both ordered hunters chicken from the lite bite menu, the chicken was overcooked tough and chewy, the salad consisted of some shrivelled up dry lettuce and one tiny tomato.ordered the ice cream for pudding which was advertised as three scoops of vanilla ice cream with sauce, however we got two scoops and no sauce. One of the worse meals l have had in a long time. Credit where it’s due though the girl behind the bar was very pleasant

Great visit with the other half. Food was great and the staff were very polite can’t wait to return again soon

From the moment I walked in, I was looked after. A lovely lady called Laura said she’d speak on the phone to guide my husband into the car park (we had a large van and didn’t know if it would fit) and we’d arrived separately.) Laura continued to be amazing during dinner and nothing was too much trouble. Food was good, service was brilliant. So impressed!

Ate here at lunch time and it was very good. Nicely cooked freshly battered cod & chips and good service. Very friendly, if a little pricey. We would return.

Visited with the family. We were happy with everything. Food was great, staff were polite and new management add that extra special part to the place

We ate at the White Hart because we had seen you had a good range of vegan options. The food was actually really nice, great taste, generous portions and a reasonably good choice. I'd love to see this extended and we will be back to try out the other dishes. The staff were also very pleasant, helpful and informative. The after dinner coffee was a little strong for my pallette but overall we were very pleased with our luncheon outing.

Lived in Andover for a while, & stayed at The White Hart before. Check-In no problem, room good. Breakfast was fine. But, not impressed with having to pay 35p for a wedge of lime, & 80p for soda, in a double Tanqueray!!!

The staff from start to finish were great. Food very good and good value for money. The bar man that we had was very helpful even though they were short staffed due to the pin culture.

Booked one night Bed and Breakfast on the way to see friends. Not disappointed,it delivered on all parts. The room was comfortable and super clean.Plenty of lovely white towels and toiletries in the bathroom.Beds super comfy.Bonus was a free standing fan which was marvellous because it was very muggy out. Decided to have dinner in the hotel,lovely steak and chips.The steak and ale pie was disappointing. Breakfast was excellent,plenty of cereals croissants,toast etc,and full English on offer.

I stayed here last night good service and food was good. Bed was comfy although the room looked very tatty and old including bathroom needs to be updated and a lick of paint. Not so happy with people banging about on top floor and I...

Pleasant old pub and hotel with a {small) car park. Bar is nicely furnished but a little impersonal.

This entry is supposed to be the White Hart Pub in the village of Stoke, near Andover, but it's obvious from reading the reviews that they are nearly all intended for the White Hart Hotel in the town of Andover. The postcode is correct for...

The Sunday before Christmas and the place was packed. A recent tradition has the Hampshire Mummers accompanied by the Andover Museum Loft Singers singing carols and the performance of a Mummers Play which always attracts a good crowd. This year was no exception and full...

A warm welcome. Car parking free if you put your registration number into the reception computer. Bed comfy ( I am fussy). Tea coffee kettle, hairdryer in the room. Well done the towels were full and white. If anything the room was very warm, even...

Have stayed at this hotel several times, it used to be a Best Western but it’s changed hands several times. It’s in the centre of town and has free limited parking. The rooms need bringing up to date, a lick of paint and new carpets....

We dropped by for a quick drink. Being a Sunday lunchtime the pub was busy with people wanting to eat there. A well run establishment with on site parking. Staff were friendly and the service was good. Well worth a visit.

Only popped in for drinks. Found the décor and staff very good, much better than in earlier reviews. Tempted to stay here next time but parking is not guaranteed.

The hotel was a little bit dated but room was perfectly adequate in size. We stayed for 2 nights. The bed was a little uncomfortable as it was 2 singles bolted together which meant a ridge running down the centre. Other than that no real...

Went to the "White Hart" for the first time last Sunday Excellent value for money really good food and friendly service, why go to Toby and this is local top pub.

Not great service on Friday night! Me and a group of friends meet up at the White Hart for our monthly catch up to find table not reserved even though table was booked last month. This is not the first time this has happened. Staff...

We booked for 4 friends for a Christmas get together. The food was beyond awful. The veg was rock hard and cold. The potatoes were burnt and literally pockets of air!! The pastry on the dessert was raw. The warm tart served cold. The pate...

Stayed only one night and ate in the bar. Food is basic, chicken, steak, burgers etc, however there was plenty of it and it was well, cooked. Good range of beer available, it is a Marstons Inn, so that is the real ale on offer....

Food poor run down property better places to go in Andover yes it is in town but bloe onion really good

We ate at a few places in Andover and was not impressed. It was just okay. I had lunch here after checking out of my room. I ordered the buttermilk sliders (comes with 3 sliders, fries, onion rings, and coleslaw.) Each slider had a different...

Came in for Sunday lunch, ordered then after 5-10 minutes asked to order alternatives for starters and mains due to unavailability,

Six of us for a NYE drink, sorry no Prosseco they said! My wife and I left early to go elsewhere leaving our friends to an almost empty bar. Glad we did, apparently the place closed at 11.00!Probably won't be returning.

Amazing day. Lovley food steak was amazing,staff friendly and very help full very enjoyable Christmas day , thank you guys .

Visited this pub/hotel for a meal on the evening of Wednesdsy 08 Nov on arrival the pub was quiet of customers but had lots of dirty tables, the rooms were cold and the bar staff not welcoming or friendly.

This was the worst Public House for rude insulting male customer i have ever experienced We came to play skittles and said man was so nasty to us 5 ladies the planned skittle evening we were planning was changed to somewhere else The landlord did not tell him to stop swearing and I would not return

Hemos visitado este establecimiento unas cuantas veces, y para ser sinceros bajando la colina! ! La actitud del personal del bar es mucho que desear! ! Tutting y elevarla cejas cuando pedimos una bebida o un café. !

We had something to eat here and it was quiet possibly the worst I have ever had, the peas were microwaved to an inch of their life, wrinkled and let to go cold, the chips were reheated ones and the gammon was just terrible, I paid a visit to the toilet and omg how dirty are they with cobwebs around the door frame which looked as old as the pub a floor which hadn't seen a mop in years let alone months, dirty basins everything in fact I have seen better public toilets. All in all I dread to think what state the kitchen is in and I think quiet frankly this place seriously needs a good check over or get a new cleaner for a start and someone who can cook and be able to do a simple gammon n chips very very poor and seriously need a good manager with some higher standards

We have been visiting the pub for years, yet the standard of bar staff is at its lowest. Very abrupt and rude needs to go on a course about customer service. Why choose to work in with the public if you don't want to!!!!!

Experiencia absolutamente horrible. Mis colegas y yo fuimos allí para el almuerzo para celebrar el cumpleaños de 50, estaba lleno así que nos esperaba una ligera espera para la comida, pero casi una hora por un sándwich es ridículo, preguntamos cuánto tuvimos que esperar ya que teníamos que volver a trabajar. Esperamos otros 15 minutos - la oficina estaba cerrada en este punto así que no era una oferta masiva a esperar más tiempo y tuvimos que comer algo!

The White Hart pub at Stoke, near Andover, this page, is not the same as The White Hart Hotel in Andover!!!

Highly recommended. Stayed over night for the first time. Dined in the restaurant / bar area and the food was really good. Extensive menu and a wide choice of drinks. Food was fresh and tasty and service was excellent. I stayed in room 9 in the stable block. It was warm, cosy and comfortable and very well decorated. The only criticism is the noisy water pipes that squeal sometimes when running. I noticed other visitors have made similar comments. Apart from that the White Hart is brilliant and I wouldn't hesitate in stopping here next time I find myself on business in Andover. Thanks guys!

Well had the once a year get together for Christmas dinner and drinks. Even though our crowd is a boisterous bunch we had a very ploeasent and lively afternoon. As with this time of year the town is busier than usual, The meal was served in a seperate function room, however it was a bit like school dinners standard "hands up who wants soup" the the support courses were good but the traditional Festive dinner could have been better, vegetables and potato's were overcooked and stodgy not a great result. Overall the White Hart is more town centre pub than Hotel Still ther is always another year.

A roomy inn with plenty of history and character that offers a friendly welcome and good food. Car parking is available on site.

Went with my family ,I stayed in a twin room with my grandson ,when we got into the room there was 1 bed made up and 1 that had been slept in dirty towels in the bathroom,my daughters partner was most apologetic and gave us the room next door that didn't smell.We went to the room my daughter had ,beds were clean but hadn't been dusted for weeks.The breakfasts were very greasy won't be staying again.

Asistió a una celebración familiar que se celebran en la sala en la parte trasera del pub. Muy bien todos, donde se hizo buen uso del callejón de bolos. La casera proporcionan una variedad muy buena para el buffet caliente y frío, de excelente calidad y sin duda una influencia Alemana con el asado de cerdo y chucrut casero y el 'bosque negro" de postre.

Typical marstons food, great if you want to pop in for simple and cheap lunch. Although not on your lunch break as easily can get delayed/mixed up/arrive cold. Nice pub hotel and function room. Strange staff.

Had a Christmas get together with about 40 people, tradition Christmas faire. A good time was had by all service was reasonable however the place was full to maximum, so staff were busy but still polite.In the centre of town so you get a selection of all sorts of patrons very rowdy time but overall a good time was had. Drinks were reasonable priced for a Hotel which is in itself unusual.

We held a party for my in-laws golden wedding anniversary here. The staff could not do enough for us and the food served to our guests was excellent and in plentiful supply. Some of our guests stayed the night in the hotel and were very pleased with the rooms and breakfast. I am now organising another party for my wife in January 2016. I would recommend this to anyone thinking of organising a party in Andover.

Although the pub was fairly empty, we ended up waiting around an hour for the food. The staff simply ignored us when we asked how long it would still take (after 45 min) and gave no apologies when the food was finally brought. The food quality is quite poor and would recommend going elsewhere even if the service was faster and more polite.

Friendly staff. Quick service. Yummy food. As in my title I had the ye ha burger. OMG. Tasty and filling. Nice comfortable surroundings. Very clean.

In a town with surprisingly few eating options we had the missing fortune to choose the White Hart to eat. It does food all day but given the 50 minute waiting time for 2 mains. We specifically asked for a starter to come with the mains but no it came as a starter so we had to wait for the rest of the food, so long I then had to go back to the bar. No peppers for the kids pizza, a special on the board not available and we were told about it 20 minutes in. No check back at any time to check we were happy , which we were certainly not. This place is appalling and owners Marstons should be ashamed.

We were looking for somewhere for a light lunch. Shopping in Andover with a wheelchair bound 90 year old. My wife walked in and asked if they were still serving food, they politely said yes and pointed to the wheel chair access around the side of the building.We were seated and asked for our drinks order then ordered food. After a long wait the wrong food was delivered and completely inedible.. I paid some of the bill and pointed out that if they could not cope it would be politer to tell us and admit they could not cope. We have waited this long to post this review because the head office was dealing with the complaint..Basically there are no disabled facilities at all (as we found out later).The management team are inept. Please make sure that you get the food that you might recognise as the same as you ordered.

The interior was nice and cosy and not too noisy, although there were enough people in. Staff very friendly, prices reasonable. The food was prepared well but cooked too much (two out of the three plates we ordered). Would come back because of the atmosphere. Menu had interesting items with Cajun spiced theme more than pub classics.

I came here with my family looking for a spot of quick light lunch as soon as we walked in we greeted by a blonde lady whose name was Hannah as I quietly nosed in her other conversations with other staff her smile welcomed us in greatly ,that was a great start she was helpful polite and did absolutely everything she could to make us feel welcome great place food good staff excellent !give the girl a star

Travelling back from the West Country, we were looking for a place for dinner and eventually found somewhere to eat. Luckily we hit on the White Hart in Andover town centre. A excellent meal, we sent our thanks back to the chef, who in turn thanked us for enjoying the food! We learned that others travelling from Cornwall to the Midlands were using the White Hart as an over-night stop, something we would certainly consider in the future.

My host for a Golden Wedding celebration (Sat. 7th Sept. '13) stumbled across this venue, having been let down by others including a lost deposit, and it was almost a last minute do or die booking. That turned out to be a really smart choice. The food was very good and Margaret the Landlady/Cook/Waiter could not have been more helpful, she really wanted us to enjoy the occasion. Following the booking being made the host decided that they would book a meal there for the day after the party (Sunday) for the close relatives. Knowing this, when the party was over the leftover sweets were put into the pub fridge ready to be eaten the next day at dinner.The next day nine of us arrived at the pub to be met by Margaret who showed us the Menu board. The menus were mainly of German origin but she took the trouble to explain all the items in fine detail then took the orders.When the meals arrived they were hot, looked good enough to eat and they were really delicious, I had Beef Olives my wife had Beef Stroganoff the meat was really well cooked as were the vegetables, full of flavour. We have had a lot of meals in Hotels but this was something else, it was excellent, forget the Michelin stars this was a real Sunday Dinner meal, We then had the leftover sweets from the night before followed by Tea/Coffee.The drinks from the Bar were very reasonably priced, the locals were very friendly.It is a pity that the pub suffers from a slow trade maybe because of the German style menus or its isolated location, but it really is a wonderful, down to earth village pub, it also has a 9 pin Skittle alley. There is a car park at rear.
