The White Hart in Runnymede

My friend based in London had been a few times and had always put the amazing beer garden on her socials, so when I came to visit I asked if we could go and I was not disappointed, the garden is beautiful, the river, flowers, food, pub and them roast potatoes and lamb shank WOW. We even joked I would travel the 4 hours just to come again. Staff were friendly and understood when I didn't want something on the plate and all 4 meals came out super quick and correct. I asked for no cabbage or green beans and without even asking the kitchen gave me an extra Yorkshire to fill my plant which is a first for me from a pub. Only downside was the parking, waited for a space for 10 mins and gave up so had to drive down the road, feel its important to mention as we nearly drove off and went somewhere else. Tried the coop carpark but you only get 45mins but again I understand, cant just create space. 100% would go again. perfect ended to an already great weekend.

Myself and my wife made our first re-visit of the year today and it was great ….. garden looked lovely and the mill stream was pushing through at some pace ….. you can sit right next to it and enjoy a drink and a good meal while watching the dragon flies chase each other up and down the river ….. the food was good and we chose the Monday night special consisting of 6oz burgers in a bun, chips, coleslaw and onion rings all for ……… £18, now that’s a great price for a couple and we both enjoyed the food ….. get there early if it’s sunny as the garden is very popular esp if you want one of the river tables …. M&G of Chertsey - 20th May 2024 …..

We visited for lunch, the selection was good, although hubbie was looking for a pie and there was no pie on the menu. The food came quickly and was tasty. It was reasonable priced. Only comment would be that the children’s meals did not come with any veggies/beans as standard.

A nice pint ruined by being given a fine for parking in the car park of the pub I was having a drink in. Completely ridiculous. Expected to see signs on a bust Friday night.

I searched for a place to meet as friends not too far from the M25, between our respective homes. I found this Wey side Pub, that felt traditional, with lots of beers on tap. Sadly it was not summer, else we would have eaten outside by the River. But with torrents of rain outside we were happy to eat indoors The menu with 5 specials on the board were £10 each for the mains. One of our number wondered if we had the kids menu, as other parts of the menu only had single figure prices!! The staff were ALL responsive, friendly and prompt. Wish it were closer to Guildford, as it would be a regular place to visit PS Thank you for my “extra mint” and bowl of peas The Lamb Casserole Special was tasty and hot, (I’ve got used to dried out tepid mains at Pubs ) I repeat my thanks to the Chef!

First Sunday lunch at The White Hart and NOT the last. Amazing food in a lovely, friendly pub. Had such a good time. Thank you so much.

This pub/restaurant states wheelchair accessible - yes it is but no disabled toilet and access to beer garden impossible due to ramps in urgent need of repair ! - however on a plus the food we had was of a very high standard and the staff went over and beyond to accommodate our needs and requests but I felt they were somewhat embarrassed at the struggle we went through on our visit

Travelled along way, and what a disappointment the chips were burnt were they had been reheated,they were not freshly cooked,the way the food was served you would think we were in a road side cafe,it was just dumped on the plate, I could go on but I'm sure you get the gist.

Amazing staff, perfect atmosphere. Great for kids but also couples. Katy went out of her way to give us some last minute chips after the kitchen closed. The chefs ensured we got some. Very kind going it their way. Thanks guys, we will be back.

What a lovely place!! Accommodated 5 of us, 2 of which are vegan, lots of choices for all. Staff were very friendly, food was gorgeous, we will definitely be returning!

We had a 5 family gathering (10 adults and ten children) for Sunday Lunch. The White Hart had excellent seating to comfortably accommodate this large number. We were able to pre-order roasts and choose other menu options. Everyone very happy with the food and drinks. The service was swift and very good thanks to Chris and team.

I oftern visit with friends. Their garden is lovely in the summer, with a nice little play area for varied age groups. They have a nice little selections of gin. The staff are always nice and friendly. My daughter loves there pizzas so strongly recommend one of them.

Had a lovely pizza and beer here by the river in the sunshine great atmosphere and friendly staff we will be back

Nice friendly local pub along the canal with a lovely garden, friendly staff, great service. I’ve had drinks, lunch and dinners here on several occasions all of which have been great, I would highly recommend this pub.

Travelling to the area for a short break. Stopped in for a drink snd lunch - lovely quick service beautiful garden with river flowing through - recommended!

Visited The White Hart today for early birthday celebration The pubs has the perfect location, right beside the river and the garden looks fantastic. The food was exactly what you’d want and very reasonable. The team of staff were all very friendly and couldn’t help enough. Will definitely be visiting again and if you’re in the area, don’t miss out

Popped in as we were passing, looked nice right on the canal. Great service, even better food, 100% will go back

Popped in whilst out on walk on towpath nearby. Good Covid protection in force. The garden area is a credit to the owner as the flowers in hanging baskets and tubs are beautiful and cared for and enhance the garden tremendously. We only had a coffee which we ordered on an app. The garden is right next to the canal water, so maybe not great for younger children. But we loved it.

We came here Tuesday whilst taking advantage of the current dine out at 50% off deal. We sat outside in the beer garden next to the stream, its very pretty with all the flowers and foliage. Nice atmosphere. Nice food and even better with the half price bill!

First time in a pub for months thanks to Covid. Steve and Zoe made us very welcome and the Covid precautions were simple. Beer was good and food was good. Zoe was especially helpful to my wife and her allergies ( gluten free and diary free.Dogs are also allowed in the pub now.

I have been to this wonderful pub on many occasions. They have recently added a vegan menu and I was meant to take a photo of the best vegan burger I have ever eaten and share it with you. However, I enjoyed it so much I finished it before remembering to take the photo, so here is a photo of my vegan brownies instead! They also have it a brilliant karaoke night too And in the summer sitting outside by the canal is simply Beautiful ❤

I went there for someone leaving work and got another job. The pub is amazing and not really that exspensive but the parking is the only bad thing their carpark is really small.

Lovely local with friendly staff, good quality food and drinks at reasonable prices. Excellent garden.

We have passed this pub many times, on the way back from Wisley Gardens and Brooklands shopping complex, today we stopped so glad we did the Sunday Roast was superb. The staff are really nice and welcoming, the gardens are very pretty and well kept. The roast beef was very tasty with a large selection of vegetables, with a side dish of cauliflower cheese, the lamb shank was also very good I was told. Will certainly visit here again.

This pub is an excellent place to stop after a walk along the River Wey Navigation as it is right on the river, and on the week day I visited lunch was being served until 3 o'clock and it was not busy. I had a beef bap with chips for £5.95 and a well kept pint of Courage Best. Service was friendly and efficient. I noticed that there was also a vegan menu. There is a pleasant garden overlooking the River Wey, and a bus stop outside; it is 10 minutes walk to Byfleet and New Haw station.

We stopped here for lunch on our bike ride. The beer was well kept and the staff were friendly. The sandwiches/wraps were reasonable value at about £5. It was a nice day so we were able to sit by the river. The traffic noise is fairly constant but otherwise it was a nice spot. We would return.

We had pre-booked for a Mother's Day meal and felt we made a good choice. We didn't know the pub well, but had discovered it when walking alongside the Wey Navigation, and decided it might suit. There were five of us including our four year old grandson. We were seated and served quickly and the four adults all chose a roast dinner which was very generous, with nice tender meat (the beef and the turkey were equally good) and lovely fresh vegetables. Our plates were full, but then we were served with additional cauliflower cheese. Being Mother's Day, my daughter and I were given free desserts. It was so refreshing that there was no attempt to charge extra for Mother's Day, more the reverse. It was extremely good value and the staff were welcoming and efficient.The bonus was that afterwards we spent another pleasant hour in the pretty garden alongside the water, with swings and climbing frame to keep our grandson happy.

We had the £5 lunch which was excellent value and very tasty. Service was very friendly. I run a walking group so we were checking it out for a post walk lunch venue for a group of 10-20 walkers! It was eminently suitable so we will definitely book it for later on in the year. It is located on the river and has a garden so it’s a really lovely location. An added bonus is that the bus stop is right outside! Decent toilets as well!

Staff are friendly, atmosphere was great. We went to the Saturday night karaoke to meet up with family and it was a good laugh. Will return when back in town no doubt.

Lovely garden to sit and have a drink. Not a lot of choice of food and it was average, good service though

We visited Saturday lunchtime for a 9th birthday party of 10 girls. Zoey and her crew were really helpful taking the order the day before and having the food ready on time when we arrived. The food was really good too, large children's portions, and 10 clean plates! Excellent location on the canal with huge garden boasting many picnic tables, ducks and a children's play area. It was Idyllic, couldn't be happier.

We've been here a couple of times now purely for the food. The quality is very good especially considering the reasonable prices. The menu isn't pretentious at all, but what is there is done well. There's a specials board as well offering different things from their staple menu. The food itself is of a much better standard than a the expected pub lunch - and chips that aren't just there as plate filler.

Our daughter had a driving experience booked at the Mercedes Benz World last Sunday afternoon and we were looking for a nearby traditional pub with a garden, as we have a dog. We feel that you have found a real little gem in the White Hart. Sitting in the garden we literally had our feet in the river! We were sitting in a beautiful surrounding, very well maintained by a keen gardener, with lots of beautiful flowers. We had a lovely meal and the staff was very friendly. There was a great atmosphere and a very happy crowd watching the football in the background. Well done to all the staff for running such a special place!

We lunched today (3rd Visit) and once again were not disappointed

A lovely atmosphere. Nice surroundings. Good staff. Unfortunately we just found it rather overpriced.

We popped in for a bite of lunch one weekday. Plenty of room to park the car, appeared to have a nice play area for children and another garden area for adults to sit out by the canal and watch the boats go by! however it is next to a busy road so I can imaging it might also suffer from traffic noise at certain times of the day. However as it wasn't sunny we chose to eat indoors. There is a smart restaurant area and the bar area where we went.

Stayed here for a week for work, the rooms were clean and had everything you need, tv, fridge, bathroom kettle breakfast. The only down side being the size of the bathroom. Didn’t spend much time in the pub but good food and pleasant people. Good location with the canal just out the back. Would stay again for work if in the area. And the bonus of top golf just a 5 minute walk.

Lovely atmosphere excellently service and delicious food at a reasonable price. Although they had run out of liver there was plenty to choose from.

I visited this pub with a walking party about five years ago and recently did the same walk, so made a re-visit to the pub. I did a pre-visit with a friend a few weeks earlier and then took the walking party there. Every thing was fine, the food was OK and the service and staff very good.

Lovely pub with a great back garden with some toys for the kids, staff really friendly, not expensive.

I visited for a Sunday Roast. I ordered a lamb roast with all the trimmings. The dinner was reasonably priced but still not worth the money. The Lamb shank was quite small, the roast potatoes were new or small potatoes with the skin on which were stale at best, chewy at worst. The veg was fine and the creamed leaks and parsnips were actually delicious. The meal would have been fine had it not been for the gravy which was incredibly sweet, more like caramel than gravy and overpowered the whole dish. For dessert I had a chocolate sundae which came in a glass. The ice cream was melted by the time it arrived and there was hardly any chocolate in it. I wouldn't return here despite the riverside seating being very pleasant.

The White Hart is pleasantly situated on the Wey navigation and I met some friends here for lunch. Arriving a little early on a quiet lunchtime, I was pleasantly welcomed and served with a nice cup of coffee whilst I waited, excellent value at £1.50. There is a very good choice of food and I opted for sausage and chips in a basket at £5.95. This proved to be 4 delicious sausages and more chips than I could manage, all well cooked and piping hot; again, excellent value. Some of my friends chose a floured bap, available with a variety of fillings, reported to be well filled and tasty. We were very satisfied and will definitely return - the best value meal I have had for some while. On a damp day we sat inside, but the garden by the canal looked attractive, plenty of seating inside and out. Highly recommended.

Nice location by a stream off of the Wey navigation where we were moored. Has a very pretty garden. The public area was clean and tidy. The service was not bad and we all said the food was good. Our cousin said it was a proper pie he had and his vegetarian lady friend enjoyed the quiche. Everything fine until it came to wanting a dessert. They had no ice-cream which meant they couldn't do most of the desserts, hence only 3 out of the 6 had one. A disappointing finale.

A un pub con el rango normal de cervezas, etc., pero ambas niñas personal mostraron poco o ningún interés con el cliente, tanto han olvidado cómo hacer contacto visual y cero intento de sonrisa o carcajada, uno de ellos (corto y rubio (por error). ? ? ? El cambio equivocado) dieron por exactamente 20 libras! Con la excusa de "ha sido un largo día" este era a las 2. 30 y el pub no había sido ocupado, estoy seguro de que el goteo poco me estafa y nunca olvidaré cómo rápidamente que dejó el área después de la llamé. El gerente apareció más tarde y yo podía ver por qué el personal no te apetece sonriente.

Muy bien ubicado en una corriente de la Navegación Wey. Muy agradable para sentarse con una cerveza en un día de verano. Zona de juegos para niños. La comida es buena. Tienen un par de cervezas de que están bien cuidados.

Wow, me he alojado en algunos hoteles "económico" pero este debe ser el peor que me he encontrado.

Metimos en un café mientras mi coche estaba en un taller local y me alegro de haberlo hecho. El personal es encantador y me hizo sentir bienvenido. La comida es deliciosa y llegó rápidamente. Sin duda volveré de nuevo. Gracias por una experiencia cómoda chicas. Hasta pronto

I've been here three times in recent months and wish I'd tried this pub years ago. A warm welcome, good food , friendly ambience and comfortable seating. I'll definitely be back!

Years iv been coming here . Sit by the river in the summer and enjoy a nice cold beer . Such z lovely pub .friendly staff .small parking .play area for kids

Met a friend for lunch, it's a great location, with lots of parking and outdoor space. Service and food were brilliant.

This is great for sitting outside by the canal. It is beautiful and suitable for all. The food is also good

Excellent atmosphere. A live band, which was unexpected, but made a pleasant change. A good mix of customers, some older, many younger than us but all seemed comfortable in other's company making for a great community feel! Well kept beer.

Nice little pub to have as a local. They do nice pub food and the staff are really friendly. It has a great outdoor area out the back that is right next to the canal. There are plenty of benches to sit out there and they have a covered area with heaters too. Look forward to popping in for another drink again soon!

Visited the pub for a bite to eat as I was close by at Topgolf, with 3 members of my family. The online menu suggested it was good traditional pub food. Arrived at 2:45 pm and the barmaid advised us that the kitchen closed at 3pm. So we made our choices from the menu and ordered some drinks. Thought that we would get poor service as it was so close to finishing but not so. Food turned up and was very good and the waitress was friendly and helpful.

Been to the white hart a few times, great menu to choose from and delicious specials board! homemade pies are lovely and kids menu is great too. The pub garden is beautiful and spacious and the staff are the kindest you'll meet, would definitely recommend!

Very disappointing. Rude & incompetent service. When we asked if they could call us a cab at closing time, the barmaid pretended to call a cab on her mobile and then told us it would be outside in 5 minutes. We went outside, she locked up immediately, we waited 30 mins for the cab but it did not turn up.

This is lovely in the Summer by the canal but everything else about this pub is only okay really. Not my first choice but wouldn't avoid it either. Real ales but tend to be similar ones without the range of flavours that you can get.

Had a lovely afternoon sitting in the garden watching the water pass us by, the birds, fish & dragonflys.Drinks were good, we didn't eat, but we will defo visit again as the food that was coming out of the kitchen look lush.! *thumbs up*

We have been to this pub twice now, and both times we have been very impressed. The staff are friendly, and the food is great- generous portions, well cooked and very fresh. The pub and garden area are very well kept- and the loos are spotless! Our kids love the outdoor play area too. Looking forward to our next visit!

Finally visited after hearing good things from friends, glad we did! It was lovely and my son enjoyed the kids play equipment in the garden.The staff were great, really friendly and j can highly recommend the sharing platters!We will definitely be back.

AJ is a consummate professional who makes The White Hart a decent, lively, and exceptionally clean pub to visit.

Trovandomi ad Addlestone e proprio in New Haw Road, non potevo fare a meno di venire in questo Pub con mia moglie. Abbiamo preso un piatto di 'Chili nachos' cosidetto "shared", perché è così grande che deve essere diviso tra due persone, Ebbene era tanto buono (il 'chili' era dovuto a degli ottimi galapenos) che pochi giorni dopo ci siamo ritornati per mangiarli di nuovo. Ottimi. Accompagnati da una buona birra Stella Artois, il tutto per 28 sterline in due.

Just a short walk from my house, by the edge of the canal great for summer time outdoor drink, would use more except the cost of a pint is 30p-40p more than other pubs in the area.

The White Hart has been my local for almost 40 years and during that time it has been through many incarnations this latest being by far the best. Great beer good food & superb location.

What a shame, possibly the most expensive pub in the area for drinks, booked a table a week in advance to say goodbye to friends we`be known for over 40 years only to be told another party had walked in and sat down to t without even asking availability! so we had to eat in the bar, adding insult to injury we were told the roast beef had all been sold, opted for the lamb shank, OK! but 2 roast potatoe for an adult!!! our 3 year old grandchild could eat more, so all in all not somewhere we would go back to , now you Know you ask yourself .... why are our pubs closing down........'

I used to drink here over six years ago. It has had a revamp and the name board outside has been repainted. Presumably new ownership. The beer was well kept but the pub was empty, I wonder why? Food looks boring.

Very warm & welcoming pub. Food is lovely with a great selection. Lovely setting in the summer. Highly recommended the duck salad.

Me and the wife decided to eat out for a change at one of our local places. Despite having lived in the area for nearly 40 years we had never been in the White Hart so we thought we would give it a try. We were not disappointed as the quality, service and friendly welcome lived up to our expectations. This was an early evening visit so the back room, set aside for diners, was empty. We decided to eat in the main bar area where more people had gathered, presumably after a hard day at work. The service was very friendly and quick and although my chosen item from the specials board had run out, a suitable alternative was quickly provided. Altogether a pleasant experience which we will be repeating in the future.

Back in July I wrote unfortunately from my ipad & i did not rate as i should have so I though i would rectify that, sorry. We had an excellent family meal first time we had ever eaten in the restaurant, the staff were excellent put themselves out for us, good food & a real gem. I have been back although just for a drink and the atmosphere & staff were just as inviting.

....but none the worst for that.With a decent selection of drinks and pleasant staff & ambience that strikes a balance between a bolthole for the locals and a warm-ish welcome for occasional patrons and passing trade, this place is an unpretentious beter-than-the-average pub that serves reasonable food.The outdoor areas alongside the calming, gently, slow moving river (or is it a canal?) are well used in the summer months.Some onsite parking is available.

What a great place to chill and relax after work.Good clean environment, nestled into the banks of the canal, clean gardens, easy parking, friendly staff... good value too :-)

I nice pub with good food and friendly staff. You can site outside and watch the canal boats go by.Very relaxing

If the weather is good it is a lovely place to visit. Sat outside by the canal side (though the canal needs some tidying) and enjoyed a lovely light bite to eat and drink. A number of families around enjoying the bouncy castle and sunshine. Portions of food around the other tables looked of a good size and the service was very good.

Both my wife and I have been to this pub quite a few times. Some days are better than others depending on the staff employed .The food is of a high standard and reasonably priced it is a shame as this pub has so much potential let down by bad service on occasions!

Still very little improvement. Bar service polite but not personal, no eye contact or a smile. With the exception of one barmaid who is always happy. Drinks fine (tricky to go wrong really), new tables in beer garden and great view of canal / river. Have ordered food four times at The White Hart. First time was a burger meal which came out without core ingredients. Had to wait once I'd asked for the additional items. Since then have only ordered chips or nachos. Nachos came out without the promised salsa. No apology made. When asked, barman went to local Morrisons and came back with squeezy salsa of which we received a small amount. Next two times, ordered chips. At £3.45 a throw with cheese, it would be nice to have some cheese that is visible, and tasty. And more than 15 chips (although chunky). When asked, an off duty member of bar staff was sitting customer side of bar and commented themselves on how poor the food was. Surprising reaction but a promise of improvement yet to be seen. Advertisement for chef still remains.

family Birthday meal, the first time any of my family had been in the pub but we read previous reviews & the menu as my niece is gluten intolerent my brother in law phoned & they were really helpful & said they could accommodate her. The staff were really friendly the food was excellent & the live music added to a very enjoyable evening we certainly have missed out on a lovely local gem we will certainly be returning soon.

The food was very good and served promptly. Friendly staff. Excellent location. Our youngest enjoyed the play area in the garden.

Had a midweek family lunch here. The food was good, a good children's menu and a quorn salad for the veggies, which is unusual but imaginative. Nice canal side location, children's area and bright airy interior. Altogether a pleasant family lunch with friendly service.

Ate lunch here one week day afternoon when the sun was shining. There is a nice big beer garden with children's play area at one end. An offshoot of the canal runs right past the garden, there are ducks, wildlife etc right next to you. The food was ok, if slightly overpriced. I drank the courage best which was ok but nothing special. A solid 3/5 rating from me.

The back of the pub is quieter and set up with tables and chairs. This area is quite plain and lost some of the character. The front area was cosier but mixed in with the main pub and TV. The menu had a decent range and the food was served quickly and to a high standard. There is a good choice of real ales available.

Came in early April when the sun was out and sat by the river. They had a bouncy castle next to the playground for the kids, which was a nice touch. Food was good, staff friendly. Would definitely come back again.

A Tuesday lunch time might not be the best time of day to get a true impression of this pub as it was very quiet - barely a handful of visitors. It's clean, well maintained, service was prompt and friendly. Foodwise, we went very simple: a chicken and mushroom jacket potato - I usually like to eat the skin but this was well, well cooked. Plain fare. The tuna wrap was as from a supermarket and the nachos were from the budget line. All in all, not overly-priced and at least there was a choice other than some of the pretentious options other pubs restrict you to. £15 all-in with drinks so not bad.

Again I stop here for lunch the food was again brilliant as was the service the pub is clean and well presented when I pass again I will stop here for lunch

I live locally to the White Hart, and have had a few meals in here, which are always lovely, as are the staff and the service. The only downside for me os the clientele, who tend to stare and whisper like you are invading their turf.

I have eaten and drunk here on many occasions the food is always top quality as is the service on the down side the car park is a bit bothersome if you come by car but other then that quite a lovely pub
