The White Hart in Horsham - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Jamie the owner served us and was so friendly and gave such good service. Couldn’t have done enough for us. Great food. Thank you so much

This has got to be the worst Ploughman’s I have ever had! The pork pie was disgusting and the bread was thin cheap white processed sliced bread , griddled a bit! Come on, how dare you and charge £16.00. Never again. The only good thing was the person serving, she was good.

I stopped here last night on my own (Monday 29th April 2024) in my campervan. It was a last minute stop. The guys could not have been more helpful and kind. I had no food on board as this was a last minute thing. The kitchen was closed on a Monday. They still cooked for me. I was so impressed with just how kind they were. The food was superb. Service was amazing. Highly recommend. Thankyou so much from me & my two dogs.

Excellent dog friendly pub, food was amazing and the staff are brilliant- my wife saw some rums and the staff talked her through them and let her have a little sample- will def be returning to this little gem 10/10

The Best roast dinner I have had in a very long time. Lots of vegetables. Staff were excellent as was the Manager. If I lived nearer I would go every Sunday .

Wonderful setting with plenty of seating inside and outside. The Sunday roast was very good, lovely tender beef. The staff were friendly and helpful with Jamie the owner serving and suggesting.

My husband and I had a wonderful meal on Weds. March 13 at The White Hart. The appetizer was delicious and elegantly presented. Both mains were fantastic. The accompanying bottle of wine from a local vineyard perfected the meal. We have been coming to this pub since we moved to the area in 2021. The summertime is always nice with the riverside dining options. The food never disappoints year around and the Sunday roasts are always great. Keep up the good work!

The best Sunday lunch ever. Being in hospitality myself I want a top quality Sunday roast when I eat out and this pub delivers every time. Good quality meat perfectly cooked, vegetables imaginative and plentiful Service friendly and efficient. We will be back soon

A lovely pub down by the River. Just had a fantastic Sunday Lunch which, in my opinion, is the best in the area..Beautifully tender beef and a multitude of vegetables all cooked to perfection. Pork and Chicken roasts were also available. The homemade Chocolate ice cream was like eating the best iced chocolate truffle, according to my wife,

If you're ever passing pop in! Me and my partner went here for lunch and it was fantastic. Great atmosphere, roaring fire and a great lunch menu. We went for the fish finger sandwich and the chicken and bacon ones (we shared half each 😉). The bread was chard a little to add flavour, and the chips seasoned to perfection. There were little twists in the sandwich (like the chicken one having a little mushroom pate smeared inside). All in all a great little place with lovely people and food!!

We eat in Pulborough establishments alot. The chefs are skilled consummate professionals and their presentation and attention to detail is outstanding. Service and follow up during dining is polite and unimposing. Thank you White Hart for a perfect dining experience.

Having been lucky enough to have visited this lovely pub before I went to day with my friend.I hadn’t booked but got a lovely welcome and had great seats by the fire.Lovely staff member. We both had the fish finger sandwich which was cooked beautifully the bread was so tasty and the Side salad that went with it was really lovely to.If you haven’t visited please do give it a try.Lovely local treasure.

Wonderful spot, very welcoming family run pub. Fantastic service, couldn't do enough and reasonably priced.

Fantastic pub with great atmosphere. We ordered the mushroom pasta and hamburger - both were delicious. Will be back again.

Delicious roast this Sunday. We had the roast pork and roast beef. Both cooked to our liking and served with very good vegetable dishes on side. We both had deserts, Black Forest cheesecake and rhubarb and custard Eton mess. Both really lovely.

Upon arrival and walking up the steps inside to order drinks; I asked the assumed "operations director" if they are serving drinks and food as the place looked rather derelict and previously open areas were closed with no signage. The gentleman confirmed they are serving food and drinks. I head to the bar and ordered drinks for myself and family (4drinks). The "operations director"quickly approaches me to let me know they need the table back in 45minutes after seeing my family and friends sitting outside apparently due to bookings inside and outside. I asked the gentleman again if he was sure it was fully booked and confirmed again it is. More and more couples and groups arrived without children and he was happy to serve them with no bookings. I feel this pub is clearly not family friendly even if you have well mannered children. Shame used to be nice !

We’ve been here a few times over the years with mixed but this visit was excellent. Before Ohin and his team took the reins food quality was variable and service painfully slow. This time the food was delicious and service was very good and attentive. The lovely weather and the view from the riverside terrace were the icing on the cake. (No we didn’t have cake because the main was just enough) but if we had I know it would have been just as tasty. We booked on the spot to come back for what we have been told is a legendary Sunday lunch. Thanks for a lovely lunch!

Terrace by river looked lovely, unfortunately it was raining so we are inside. Inside is a bit chilly, but the food was nice

Very nice personable staff. Delicious food, we had sharing platters which were excellent and delicious. Sat outside which was very pleasant and the owner was very nice and helpful and went out of his way to make us feel welcome.

A lovely surprise after canoeing with Pulborough Paddles. Lunch outside on the river - thoroughly recommend the fish platter and the ploughman’s. Wine and coffee went down well. Lovely people serving and nothing was too much bother.

My husband and I passed the pub and thought the surrounding views were so pretty, we booked that day. Staff were very attentive considering the heat and they had to traipse from pub to veranda with meals. Our very good host was Sarah. Couldn't fault the food, although no pork and the beef was about to run out, but it was 3pm on a Sunday. My only quibble would be attention to detail. Themu veranda area could have done with a good clean, including spider webs. If the trees had been cut (not sure if allowed?) Then a captivating view of the River Arun and Bridge. There was I think only one toilet! And the sanitary bin was overfull, should have been checked and could have been better. On the whole very pleasant but could be a 10 instead of an 8.

Lovely spot, but not wheel chair frendly, but food is OK but rather overpriced for what you get. Staff very young and need more training.

Just popped in on the off chance and pleasantly surprised. Booking would be essential in the summer as the waterside location is popular. Light bite menu good value - we had sharing fish board and struggled to finish. A La Carte has something for everyone and is simple but more than sufficient for choice. Range of ale and cider again at good prices. Staff welcoming and spot on with the right level of service - will visit again - thank you

I had booked the pub to take my friend for a birthday lunch,we both have been there before and so enjoyed it.The waiter was lovely and throughout the whole meal very attentive and helpful.I had a lovely glass of Chardonnay,I had the pork belly which...

Really nice character pub close to an incredible medieval bridge. Friendly staff, log fire and an excellent burger that anyone who eats at those ghastly fast food outlets should come and see what a real burger looks and tastes like: meaty, chunky and delicious. The...

Disgusting place, went here for Sunday lunch, we were sat next to the toilets which the ladies was overflowing and the floor was completely flooded and smelled horrible. Potatoes in roast were cold and hard, had been re heated several times obviously. Rude staff, loud...

Fabulous lunch. Arrived quite late in the afternoon on bank holiday Monday , when the pub was packed. However the staff were very accommodating & seated us….a table of 4 , right by the river, fabulous spot in the summer sunshine. Very tranquil. We had...

Went for a few glasses of wine - cost was extortianate - not doing them selves any favours. Lovely setting but no wheel chair access

Staff inexperienced-food the seafood platter mediocra the burger too overpriced and overdone Pub small and staff need to up there game. Expensive for what it offers

We are regular visitors to The White Hart at Stopham whether it be a quick drink on a paddleboard past or a Friday night treat they never disapoint deilicous food at reasonable prices with polite friendly staff. Tonight we experienced their tasting menu which was...

Booked a table for six for lunch some weeks ago, but had to leave a message as the phone was not answered. Having given my mobile number, I expected to receive acknowledgment that the reservation had been received, but didn’t, so rang and a member...

Beautiful location, kitchen should be better. Fish and chips were tasty, but the meze platter and pulled pork tasted as out of jar/box. The brioche bun was a simple hamburger roll. Not crisp but soaked in sauce. Very sorry as service was nice.

Visited after a day at the races at Goodwood. Great location and we were blessed with good weather which allowed us to sit by the river on a purposely built wooden patio. The food was good and priced approximately, would recommend

The Sunday lunch was good - three roast dinners and a fish and chips. Apart from the roast potatoes which looked great but were over cooked and difficult to cut, the roast dinners were fine. Nice selection of veg to accompany. No problem with the...

Stopped for a quick refreshment and to suss out for a potential return to eat with a party of ten people. Unfortunately we disturbed the staff who deemed us to be an inconvenience as we had disturbed their break. We won’t be returning which is...

Great location on the river. Plenty of outside seating. Good range of beers. Friendly accommodating staff and really enjoyed the food. Recommended.

A very nice meal we enjoyed one of the open sandwiches and a chicken salad. Well presented and very tasty. Well kept bitter. Menu slightly pricey for a pub lunch but worth it!

Can I say a big thank you to all the staff at The White Heart for giving us a lovely weekend. We had booked a meal on the Friday and Saturday night. The pub is set in a lovely peaceful location despite the main road...

We stopped here on the way back to our holiday let after a short local tour. Nicely situated next to the old river bridge with a large garden area, we sat by the river with drinks to relax. Warm friendly welcome from staff and locals....

We visited The White Hart after the Stopham Vineyard tour and would absolutely recommend this, it's a delight. We sat outside with a fabulous view of the ancient Stopham Bridge and the River Arun, and the staff were really friendly, super helpful and personable despite...

Love this little quirky pub with amazing outdoor space, but think they need to supply drink menus if they are doing tables service! Also there should be food menus more visible, when asked if we were eating, I didn’t like to commit as I hadn’t...

First time eating here and it did not disappoint. The staff were all really lovely. The food was delicious, my friend had the pork and I had the vegan pie with veg. Both tasted amazing! We will definitely be going back!

Lovely meet out. Staff were very kind and considerate to our needs. Did a few gluten free options/bread with foods. Lovely desserts. Food filled us up but wasn’t too much. Gorgeous view.

Terrible service. We walked a long way to visit the pub have a drink on the river before walking back again. Despite the weather the whole garden was closed. It was Mother’s Day so of course expected it to be busy but after queuing for...

Good location , but not ran very well food is over priced, I asked for my burger to be browned off a bit more as it was a bit red for me and it was shoved in the microwave , lettuce was then soggy, the...

Lovely pub and staff are friendly But the food not so good the ham I think was going off, if that's the case then this will be taken further as didn't taste right was mentioned but nothing done plus asked to cook a burger of...

I rated this one because I had to rate something it Didn’t allow me to go onto the next page. It probably is a good pub.but my experience going there twice Was terrible. I came from the long long way. They were half open no...

Four of us stopped for lunch here. We had a good welcome when we arrived, but were surprised to see how small the dining area turned out to be. Staff were friendly, but some of them maybe need a little more training. One of our...

Fantastic taster menu from chef Jamie Bailey and paired beautifully with selected wines . Thoroughly recommend a visit to this rare original style gastro pub .

We have visited the white Hart a few times in the last month. Every time the greeting has been friendly and the meal very good. We popped in for a quick lunch today and ordered a couple of open sandwiches. The owners and everyone that...

Visited numerous times for dinner now and will visit many more times. The food and menus that the chef produces are exquisite. They are constantly changing and developing the menu as the seasons pass. Every single meal I have had here had been excellent. The...

Stopped for sunday lunch. Was after 2 so I guess had missed main wave of people. Ate outside overlooking the river. One of us had beef, the other chicken. All veg was completely overcooked. Normally would have just given 'poor' for the food. However one...

Yesterday the weather was all unbroken blue sky and bright sun-shine, perfect for a bit of a drive followed by a country pub lunch. We live in Hove and are prepared to go anywhere in East or West Sussex for a good feed, and our...

My first visit to the White Hart will not be my last. Tempted by the Goan Curry night - first Thursday of every month - a friend and it was very good. Welcomed at the door by Ohin who immediately made us feel welcome and...

We arrived and were warmly greater by the bar man. It was very cosy and we sat by the fire. We ordered out of our comfort zones. We started with a sharing board of warm foccica olives etc .My husband had venison and I had...

Where to start, amazing comes to mind. Super location right by the river which is matched by the friendly staff & the quality of the food is truly fab. Great for an impromptu coffee whilst out walking or just for a glass of wine &...

Dropped by on spec as I was doing a walk nearby - had dog in tow. A great welcome, friendly folk and a fine pint of Harvey - then another. Food looked expensive but turned out to be excellent therefore good value. Lovely riverside location....

This was disappointing, the food was marvellous, the chocolate cigar desert was outstanding, but the atmosphere did not do the food justice, it was more like a child's creche with a couple of annoying drunks hanging, which was frustrating as its a lovely place in...

we love this place visit many times mostly summer nice setting nice drink nice food we will be back!

We had booked dinner here after wine tasting at the fabulous Stopham vineyard (you can actually get the wine tour and lunch as one package from the Vineyard but the lunch would have been too early for us to get to). It's a lovely location...

We visited the White Hart on Sunday for a roast dinner with the family and this pub did not disappoint... This I would say is the best roast dinner my family and I have had for a while!! The food was amazing... everything was cooked...

Hadn’t been there for awhile but so glad we popped in the food was amazing and the staff are great they definitely care about their food and shows such interest which is fantastic from the starter to the main to the desert was not disappointed...

Staff friendlyl took hubby for a birthday lunch, food was good but we had not finished eating our starter when the waitress was standing at our table with our mains didn't offer to take it away so we had to leave our starter so no...

We had a superb lunch in this most tranquil setting by the river Arun and will certainly do so again. Only niggle? I do really object to restaurants presuming to add a "discretionary" service charge to the bill without prior notification but I could see...

The best risotto ever. It was sea bream with prawn and was wonderful. They tried to meet the demands of a vegan as well and we’re very helpful

Having moved recently to the area, we are slowly trying out the local pubs and The White Hart is definitely one to return to. It’s in a delightful setting with a stunning view of the ancient Stopham Bridge. Seating area overlooking the river was comfortable,...

WHAT A SHAME! We passed and saw Stopham Bridge had been restored and noticed the decked area of this Pub from a distance. We parked , then I went in and asked for their Wine list. The manager said ‘ Take a seat outside and...

As intended, after our first visit in May, we lunch four returned to enjoy the tasting menu and to celebrate S's birthday. We sampled seven delightful courses accompanied by fine wines, a restaurant experience as good as, if not better than most of the many...

A friend suggested we should try this pub for lunch, so today as we were near we stopped by. A very warm welcome from a chap at the entrance to the garden area, showed us to a table and took our drinks order. The garden...

Since the opening under "new management", the first time was a kind impression when the food arrived timely and in good presentation with a "quirky" twist, influenced by multicultural backgrounds. We thought it was shifting towards a more positive direction, but was unfortunately misled by...

A BIG Thank you to all at The White Hart for making my Birthday family meal very special. you went over and above to make us so welcome and comfortable. We will be back!

I was passing by after a long day at work for a quite red wine and was met by the most polite and charming young gentleman called billy and he made me feel very comfortable

We had an evening meal and decided to sit inside. The pub is in a lovely setting beside the river with a lovely decking area, where we had pre dinner drinks. The food was really good. Especially the starters with a good choice. Especially the...

A beautiful Pub right by the river, the food was lovely (we had the ploughman’s platter) and the friendly service from Billy, Freya and the other staff was amazing.

Very friendly welcome, service with smile, nothing was to much trouble, food was excellent, lovely location, well worth the journey from kent

Four of us chose straightforward items from the lunch menu then ate in silent enjoyment of the flavours and textures presented. Soon comments flowed. Battered fish: "the best I've eaten"; burger "I do like homemade burgers and this was one of the best I've enjoyed";...

4.7 out of five. This was the first time I had visited this restaurant/pub since the new ownership. We had wondered what it would be like and also like supporting local businesses and I liked the idea of pre Christmas Roast Turkey, so a few...

Such warm and welcoming hosts, wonderful surroundings, food was delicious. Would definitely recommend!

We were passing by but decided to turn off and see how the White Hart is doing these days. I have known this pub for over 50 years and have visited over this time. Upon arrival in the car park we were greeted by one...

I cannot rate this place highly enough, the food was amazing, the location perfect, ambiance brilliant and the staff/owner’s were extremely friendly.

Visited with friends for Sunday lunch . Quaint pub in picturesque location overlooking the River Arun and ancient Stopham Bridge. We sat outside with a wonderful view of weekend kayakers passing serenely by . Very relaxing ambience as we ate our delicious home cooked food . The Sunday roasts are a speciality of the house and my husband’s roast pork was truly special . My sea bream with crayfish risotto was sublime. The staff were all welcoming. friendly and efficient . We all thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the White Hart and will certainly be back . Go there ... you won’t be disappointed !

In a previous review I said how the White Hart was your traditional English Pub that you want. Nothing fancy or pretentious - instead honest and good value.Our visit today left us delighted.The new management haven't washed away the past but are building on it. Great food - really good food at prices which demonstrate value. Fabulous personal service. Understated, wanting to deliver, tremendous pride in their establishment.In time, The White Hart is going to be a destination Pub. We looked at it with new eyes. The familiar location shown through - it is absolutely stunning! With great food and friendly, caring attention, it deserves a visit and I'm sure, like us, you will be back.The icing on the cake was the Covid care the staff took. I hadn't had my mask (was driven there by my Father and I'd left all my spares behind) but one of the staff members didn't hesitate and provided me with one.

We visited the White Hart for lunch on Sunday to celebrate 2 family members birthdays. The location is beautiful and the food was delicious, especially the dessert special - tarte tatin which was very light and tasty. We all had the roast and two members of the party had the vegetarian roast option which they said was delicious. Unfortunately the weather was not kind to us on that day so we couldn't make the most of the outside location, which is beautiful, and I can imagine will be very popular on better weather days. The people that run the restaurant are lovely and very welcoming and the staff are efficient. We definitely recommend this establishment.

Visited The White Hart Stopham Bridge 19.09.20, 2 glasses 250 ML Merlot £16. Visited 26.09.20 2 glasses 250 ML £17.80. Visited 03.10.20 2 glasses 250 ML Malbec £26. Admittedly a more expensive wine but £13 a glass? To use an ancient English saying,'Methinks you are taking the piss'. Can't afford you, bye bye.

We were on a break for a few days in Sussex and decided on The White Hart for Sunday lunch. Already a great location sitting next to the river and Stopham Bridge we had one of the best Sunday lunches in a very long time. The beef from the Goodwood Estate was exquisite and beautifully cooked. Thought twice about posting a review as I wanted to keep this our secret in case it gets too busy! The owners are from Goa and delightful - warm and welcoming. We shall return! If we can get a table.

Me and a couple of friends caught up over a couple of beers and decided to have some food all we all went for there bacon Brie burger and it was honestly one of the best burgers I’ve ever had! Nice cosy atmosphere in the pub and lovely friendly staff, would definitely go back there!

Lovely staff, lovely setting, amazing food. I had a bacon burger with Brie truffle and it was one the best burgers I’ve had. Wouldn’t hesitate to visit again.

This is a brilliant family-run pub with an amazing selection of food and drink to complement the view. It's a must visit if you are local or just passing through. I had the ham hock to start which was delicious and the burger was probably one of the best I've ever had. That was just the lunch menu. Can't wait to come back for a la carte at dinner time.

We spent a very pleasent evening as a couple and both had the fish specials which were superb. The next evening the family joined us so we sampled the burgers and fish and chips all were very acceptable the specials were superb again The service was wonderfully friendly I would highly recommend this pub. The tables outside overlook the river and an ancient bridge

Beautiful location, great food. Specials were amazing. Can’t wait to come back for the evening menu .

We booked a table for Saturday lunch , the location next to the river with views of the old bridge are idyllic , the service was very good and the waitress told us they had taken over the establishment within the last two week , Three of us had the fish of the day from the specials board which was very nice served with a selection of vegetables , they have a good wine list and even offered cocktails one of our group had the Expresso Martini .

Basic food for an expensive price, very small spirit measures (just showed the bottle to the glass) and slow service. Beautiful location.

Had lunch with my family today. Sat for hours in their beautiful garden, on the river. Lovely service, food and atmousphere. Thoroughly recommended. 5⭐.

I visited the White Hart a couple of days after the pub had reopened, the staff were welcoming and working above and beyond to fulfil our needs. I had the fish and chips which I can honestly say was the best fish and chips I have had in a very long time. I then returned last week for dinner with a couple of friends, sat outside with the idyllic location and again having the fish and chips meeting the high expectations as last time. Everyone else highly enjoyed their meal, very envious of the very good looking burger to which another customer had also commented on saying how good his was too! Keep up the good work!!!!!

We visited this pub for an evening meal. Although nice location, bar area is too small at this time. Very slow to be shown a table, although there were plenty free. Meal menus were on standard A4 paper, NOT cleaned between users, (how can you clean paper?) Did not feel comfortable at this location, un sure of general hygiene, choices of food very limited.Did not stop and moved on.

This is a great pub in a great location. We would like to stop off here for a drink or meal when kayaking along the Arun but the banks look steep and slippery with mud. It would be great if there was a little jetty or slope where you could get in and out safely and I’m sure many more kayakers would use the pub if there was (I know you can get out on the other side of the main road but this means leaving the kayak on its own).

This was our first visit to the White Hart for Sunday lunch and it was amazing. The roast beef was delicious as was the fresh veg that was cooked to perfection. The only problem was that we couldn't fit in a dessert afterwards so we sat on the decking over looking the river soaking up the great atmosphere and watching people kayaking whilst we finished our drinks. Staff were attentive and friendly and we were made to feel welcome. I can't wait for our next visit. Well done to the new owners and their team.
