The White Hart in Ashford

First time visit to the pub , amazing warm greeting by the staff , showed to our table , all the waiting staff were super friendly and helpful. Roast dinners were fantastic, choice of beef, chicken , pork and all with home made Yorkshire puddings and selection of vegetables. Generous portions and everyone was happy with the food. Great pub with fire and a buzz of locals and tourists, exactly how a English pub should be , would return 100%

Light ale, perfect roast belly pork, all home made/cooked food, service excellent, staff amazing and friendly, the best roast so far and I've tried a few, will be returning for sure, 5 star all day long and I haven't even left yet

Came for a Sunday roast.. was delicious everything cooked to perfection! Roast Pork was amazing and dessert was good too! Will def come back and def recommend

Absolutely beautiful 500 year old inn - character and charisma - superb staff and wonderful owner/landlord who could not do enough to help us when we really needed help. Breakfast was incredible with bacon steaks to die for. We will definitely be going again.

Generous servings delicious chips scampi broccoli stems and mushy peas. Helpful pleasant staff lovely old fashion pub definitely worth a visit. The open fire was very welcoming too

I visited this pub in August I am writing this review in disgust! I received a parking fine and immediately phoned the pub for them to verify I used the pub on the date of the fine. A young lady informed me I needn’t do anything as they would inform the parking company and the fine would be squashed! A week later I received a reminder and again I phoned the pub and a Second Lady informed me she would deal with it and actually remembered me going in the pub to meet my cousin (who incidentally was in a different white hart !! ) Last week I received a debt collectors letter so again rang the pub and another lady listened to my story and said she would get the manager to deal with it! I was uncertain then as the two previous employees hadn’t dealt with this so I rang the company! Only to discover that as it had not been ‘dealt with’ by the staff as promised / I had to pay £170 !!! As far as I was aware I had entered my number plate correctly on the machine on the bar!! Please don’t get caught out like me! A very expensive cup of coffee!!!!!

I first stayed here whilst I was working in the local area and the staff were very welcoming and got to know me over the course of my stay. Since then, I’ve returned a number of times for short stays and for dinners. Newenden is under an hour's drive from where we live in London so we often pop down on a weekend. I had a ribeye steak out of their new aging fridge they have in the pub, it was cooked perfectly with all the usual sides. Thoroughly recommend visiting if in the area or want to get away from the hustle and bustle for a weekend!

One of the few country pubs left in Kent. We stopped here a couple of weeks ago and the pub was as nice inside as it is from out. The bar had a good selection of beers and we were lucky enough to sit out in the garden to enjoy breakfast and lunch. Afterwards we were able to walk the dog along the footpath by the river which is a pleasant route, there looks to be a footpath down the side of the pub so we will try that next time. We’ll be back in a few weeks for the live music evening.

Urgh this pub has so gone down hill. Implemented parking fines for the smallest car park. Signs up everywhere youd this it was a military base. £4 for a diet coke. £22 for a salad that was literally leaves and one measly slice of undercooked beef. No tomatoes, cumber nothing. Had to send 2 meals back because they were inedible. And they add a service charge and don't say. After ordering drinks and food for everyone they added over £15 worth of service charge and I was carrying my drinks out to the garden. I asked them to take if off which they made a fuss about. Honestly avoid. Best of taking your own snacks of you've been paddleboarding nearby or head to Tenterden only 15 mins drive away much nicer. I avoid this place like the plague.

Good food, a starter was big enough for a main course for me- goats cheese was amazing! Friendly attentive staff and good choice of beer on tap. Only one draw back- grumpy git locals - just avoid bar at the front!!

Unfortunately this pub seems to have fallen into the trend of adding a ’discretionary service charge’ on to the bill, whether you like it or not. Few people would not want to ask for the bill to be revised, so you are effectively forced into it. It should be my choice whether I should tip. I would not return here for this reason. Aside from this, the pizza was reasonable, but not excellent, especially consider the prices were around £16 on average (including the 10% additional fee). Staff were pleasant. Toilet was gross.

I had lunch after my morning cycle ride and it was great. I went for the belly of pork and it was an outstanding pub roast. Really creative use of vegetables including a leek gratin. Spuds were crisp and fresh, as was the Yorkshire pudding. Pork was generous succulent and creatively served with apple stuffing. I may be biased as I live in the village, but it’s great when your ‘local’ comes up trumps. Well done White Hart chef and team!

Had a beautiful meal this evening. I had the chicken & bacon salad. It was fabulous. My partner had the posh hot dog... he liked it. My son had the prawns. A hit from all of us. It's a locals pub but we felt welcomed and the staff were lovely. I recommend.

The setting is lovely, it's a very pretty pub with a lovely garden and play area. But the staff made us feel unwelcome and the food was average and overpriced. They include a 10% tip on the bill by default which is a bit of a stretch as you have to go up to the bar to order food and drinks and then get your own cutlery and sauces - so the waiting staff only deliver your food which isn't worth 10% in my book It seems to have an identity crisis. The playground and menu suggests a family friendly restaurant, but actually when you step inside it's very much a local pub for local people and outsiders will be judged

This is an historic pub, with low beams, an inglenook fireplace with a proper wood fire, and local real ales, kept well. The landlord and the staff are all friendly and welcoming. Our room was in the oldest part of the pub, but it was spacious and sensitively refurbished, with a good-sized en-suite bathroom. The food is plentiful and, in my opinion, perfectly positioned, being unpretentious wholesome pub food, while also being very good quality and a few steps above the most basic. It’s what you really want from pub food. Considering the way prices have risen in the last year, it was also pretty good value. For those of you who like/believe in such things, there is also a resident ghost!

I knew the White Hart from previous visits in the past. With an inglenook fireplace, oak beams, hops hanging above the bar, you won't find a better or more traditional country pub. The beers are excellent as is the food and reasonably priced. I recommend "Level Best" a locally brewed Northiam ale. This time I booked a room and stayed the night as I was attending a function in the pub. The room was basic but comfortable, though there are bigger and more comfortable rooms available. I was in the rear of the pub and it was very quiet even though the pub is on the main road. Perfect. I have always found the pub staff and clientelle to be really friendly and have always had a great time. I thoroughly recommend the White Hart to all visitors whether just popping in for a quick beer or a meal, and for those who are visiting the area for a longer period.

We were staying just up the road so were able to walk to this lovely pub. The first thing we noticed is the enormous open log fire that was beckoning us in. Despite being a bit late for the kitchen, they kept it open long enough for us to enjoy some absolutely delicious Rye Bay scallops on a bed of perfectly cooked (roasted?) veg. Together with a nice glass of house red, we were very happy. Thank you...

5 star food and service! Table for 16 was welcomed at very short notice. Me and my partner both had roasts which were the best we have had for a long time. Lovely country pub with great outdoor space for the kids. Waitresses were very welcoming and helpful

Stopped off for lunch. Very quiet pub on our visit. Food very standard but overpriced and without being informed a 10% surcharge added. Wouldn't mind if some kind of special service had occured but why am I paying 10% to have my food brought to the table ? Am I supposed to collect the plates from the kitchen myself ? Very annoyed it was added without any notification.

Nice little local pub, serving decent food cooked from scratch. The menu is not huge, but covers most of the bases, which is a good thing (I would be more worried if the menu was several pages long). We both had the prawn & scallops to start, which were nicely cooked and very tasty. The pork tenderloin main course went down very well - the pork was well cooked and flavoursome. The 8oz rib-eye steak was a little disappointing - it looked a bit small for an 8oz steak and lacked a little flavour. However, it was cooked to a medium-rare as ordered and was quite tender. The homemade baked cheesecake was very nice indeed. Service was relaxed and friendly.

Each year we camp at Bodiam Boating station, and we always enjoy a nice meal at The White Hart Inn which is just over the road. This year we took new friends, and hoped it would be nice as always! It was AMAZING. I ordered...

We had dinner here one evening while staying in the area on holiday. Initially all was fine, we were greeted by the bar staff and invited to sit either inside or outside - we selected to eat inside. Our orders were taken quickly and drinks...

Went on a lovely sunny day in a large group. The pub were very accommodating having called in advance. Good selection of drinks. Good play area for the kids. Good food and friendly service.

We stayed for 3 nights in this lovely hotel. Bedrooms comfortable and clean, bathrooms are like new, customer service excellent, with special thanks to Lotty, nothing too much trouble, very welcoming. Great breakfasts/food. Highly recommend this establishment.

Stayed in this beautiful characterful old English inn. Staff are extremely accommodating and service second to none. Nothing too much trouble. Meals are tasty and hearty. Beds and pillows very comfortable. Accommodation clean well presented. Would recommend for long or short stay. Large back garden...

Very dissapointed pretty village pub , but don’t know if there is a septic tank in the garden but there is a very unpleasant waste smell I ordered the fish ans chips which was anemic and undercooked it appears a very inexperienced chef My partner...

Four of us went here for a lunchtime on a Friday. It’s been a while since we’ve been here and I must say the dining room area is a massive improvement on the previous and rather tired old incarnation. Stripped floors, nice wooden furniture, beams...

We arrived at 7.30 and were told that all three of our choices had finished and that there was only one pizza left. We then re ordered for a second time and then waited till 8.35 till our meals came. Although the manager/owner heard us...

We had an enjoyable lunch in the garden on a sunny day. The ploughman's and the smoked chicken salad were fine. However, they need to do something about the smell from their septic tank which is rather off-putting when eating. Also the arrangements for serving...

love the place to many nice things to say the staff food drinks made it into a really lovely air bnb vist

We were exploring the area with our walking group from London. The staff were very accommodating, the food was delicious and the drinks even better. We didn’t want to leave. Would definitely recommend this pub for food and drinks, but most of all for the...

Wow what can I say! Amazing staff. We are a London based walking group and had done a walk and the end was the pub with a taxi back. We partook in amazing food and drinks and had an enjoyable few hours. We then realised...

We chose this place to have lunch after our lovely visit to nearby Great Dixter. It was a super sunny day so outside eating was on the cards. We were greeted cheerily at the outside bar and had a choice of tables in our reservation....

We spent just the one night at the White Hart after visiting Great Dixter for the day. We stayed in the Sibley, a small but amazingly comfortable room at the rear of the pub, with every mod con supplied. The staff were so hard working,...

This is a real must go to village pub for food! The service is amazing from every single happy smiling member of staff. We booked for 12 people and changed our booking from inside to outside, and back again without any problems. When we ordered,...

Quaint little pub set in really lovely countryside, but not far from London. My room was comfortable, well equipped and good value. The food was very good although the vegetarian/vegan options were a bit limited. Really nice staff. I`d stay again.

Stayed for the weekend with my son and my father in-law very friendly staff and locals the food and service is 100% will be coming back for sure highly recommend 👍

Fantastic find! Lovely service, couldn’t do enough and food was fab! Very dog friendly. Thanks guys xxx

Service was poor, no help for food in tolerances, basically just meat and potatoes. Seemed to be a couldn't care less attitude. No offer of desert menu, it had to be asked for, no offers of more drinks. Having visited before I was totally disheartened and will not return.

Stayed Friday to Sunday Lovely room and couldn’t fault anything. Food and service all superb. We will definitely return for another stay.

Just like someone else’s review, the staff are lovely and went out of their way to accommodate us for dinner and breakfast. However the room was pretty bad - the bed literally dipped in half and we spent the night lying the wrong way on the bed just to try and get some sleep. The windows are also paper thin (appreciate this is an old pub) and would not stay open so it was stuffy and still noisy. One for just 1 night stay rather than a weekend away.

On holiday we took a drive out to Rye, saw lots of country pubs which had not re opened after lockdown, got to Rye and it was so busy we headed for home. On the way we had seen the pub but the road was so busy we didn’t stop so on the way back we stopped for some lunch. The beer garden is lovely, plenty of space for everyone, a child’s pay set and child tables and chairs. The pub itself was attractive on the inside with plenty of seats if the weather was not too good. We ordered 2 baguettes which came with proper chips and a dressed salad garnish, everything was delicious. The staff were very nice, friendly and efficient, food was reasonably priced, came quickly and was hot when it got to our table. We will be back Thank you for a great lunch experience

Stopped for lunch.. lovely garden with a view, and VERY tasty food..I have food intolerances and these were handled well, my husband had the homemade pizza - delicious..

Staff were very friendly and the food was fantastic, definitely recommended going here for a Sunday roast and a good chill out!

Outside was cold and wet but inside was warm and cosy as we enjoyed a delicious evening meal, efficiently served, with a cheerful log fire burning in the corner. Plenty of choice on the menu, reasonable prices and very friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

Stopped here for a few days last summer. Good spot for visiting many local attractions in Kent. Had a comfortable room although a bit noisy from the kitchen clearing -up after the evening service. Would suggest that if you need a quiet room you ask for one. The TV did not work, but the proprietor fixed this immediately the matter was raised. Staff in general were very welcoming and pleasant. Food was impressive for a small, rural pub - a varied menu, well cooked and presented and reasonably priced. Breakfasts were notable - plenty of choice of what to order, cooked or cold. Overall, a good value for money stay and would recommend.

Great breakfast. Friendly staff. Simple room but adequate and effort made with toiletries etc. Had a lovely stay when I was too tired to drive on to London.

Only had an hour for lunch & it was well spent. We both had the pea & mint soup which was delicious. The service was welcomming & effecient. Lovely coofe & hot chocolate to end the meal. The warm open fire was a wonderful bonus.

We visited the White Hart twice while staying nearby. On both occasions, the food was tasty and the service friendly. Four of us had a meal on Friday evening, there was a wide choice on the menu as well as a specials board. We returned as a group of 8, including 2 children for Sunday lunch and there were a selection of roasts as well as a good choice of children's meals

We recently took our dogs there for a pre-walk bit of lunch.The staff were welcoming and inside there was a nice fire and with the low ceilings, it felt nice and cosy.The food was decent but nothing extravagant. We both had the lamb roast dinner.

My husband and I spent one night here - the room was charming and full of beams - the bed was so comfy and added bonus of bath and shower. We were warmly welcomed by Penny who suggested some of the things we could do in the area - the dinner was scrumptious - I had the chicken pie and my husband had the fish and chips - breakfast was also very good. If I could have one criticism, it would be of the coffee at breakfast - not so good , but overall a wonderful place worth a second visit.

Booked for Sunday lunch for 10 of us. Staff were extremely accommodating as we needed to eat in the bar area as we had a dog with us and one of our party was on crutches and needed to keep his leg elevated. One of the bar staff moved tables and chairs around so we could all fit in the conservatory area comfortably. Food was great and everyone enjoyed the occasion. Thank you.

Three of us lunched here for a birthday treat. We all had the liver and bacon and were unanimous that it was delicious. During the week this was one of the dishes on their two course £12.95 menu. I had apple crumble and this was also very good. Well kept Harvey's. Well done Chef!

Enjoyed a lovely lunch here on a quiet Saturday. Very friendly staff and good menu variety, including a specials board. Our small dog was welcomed ( bar area only ). Fish gratin was delicious. Kids menu also available. Highly recommended.

Ate here last night (Thursday 12th Sept) and the whole experience was exceptional. We arrived at 6pm and the pub was already bustling with people which made a really nice atmosphere, we were sat quickly by the young girl serving, who was very polite and efficient throughout the service, and promptly brought drinks. The food was amazing both main meals and dessert, with a special mention to the homemade chips, the cheeseboard, particularly the frozen grapes, and the treacle tart. Will hope to visit again soon.

We dropped in here after an E-bike tour at Rother Rides (over the road) (I recommend them too!) Service was exemplary from the two girls working the bar and restaurant. Food was great (triple cooked chips with huge T bone steak) Range of beer was good and clientele all v friendly.

A pleasant country pub for an afternoon pint after hiring a rowing boat just down the road. Lovely play area for the kids and plenty of outdoor seating plus a nice indoor/outdoor more sheltered decking area. Loads of choice of ales. I picked one for my husband that happened to be off, but staff replaced it with an alternative when he informed them of the problem. Selection of board games too although most of Boggle is missing!

Bank holiday Monday - wife and three kids - I know we'll nip out for a pub lunch. The White Hart is a pretty period pub. The staff are friendly and polite - it's nice place for kids. What could possibly go wrong? First thing? Wasps may be a natural part of country life up to a point - but this was insufferable. The garden was heaving with them and they were obviously coming from a local nest. It costs a few quid to get rid of them but if you are running a pub it has to be a no brainer.

Excellent pub and excellent food, service & staff, large menu to choose from staff extremely polite and helpful

I popped into this really charming old pub for a quick drink after I was in the area for a boot sale. My visit was spoiled by two men sitting at the bar talking and other word was a swear word. It’s a shame nice old pubs get people like this in them especially when the bar staff were standing there listening to them and made no attempt to warn them of their language.

Called in for lunch. The staff were very friendly and helpful. My wife is Gluten Free and there was plenty of choice for her on the menu. The prices were reasonable (£36 for two for lunch, coffee, glass of wine and a beer). An added bonus for us, the bar area was dog friendly.

Setting the Scene : we had to postpone our original booking by one month, and our new date, we were advised, would coincide with a Beer & Music Festival Weekend at this venue ~ a charity fund raiser.

Terrible place run by half wits. Dried up dog poo by the children's play area. Keep driving, there is a better pub up the road.

Stopped off here for lunch in the large garden. We both had different sandwiches which came with chunky chips all served on a wooden board. Sandwiches were very good and the garden has plenty of seating, even with a large party already there. One slight niggle, it is very dangerous driving out of the car park as visibility is very restricted both ways.

We ate at this pub restaurant one Sunday for a late lunch.

I stayed at The White Hart for three nights whilst away on business. The room was clean and very comfortable with good facilities. Staff are delightful, friendly and helpful.

Nice old world type pub with a smart dining area. Plenty of vegetarian choice and a good selection of beer and wine. We had an excellent evening at a reasonable price.

We stayed for one night over the Easter Bank holiday. We are a young family with 2 girls ages 5 and 8 and had booked the family room.

Went for what I thought was going to be a nice meal but when we arrived most of the food had sold out, the service was poor and to top it all was presented with a bill and asked to pay immediately only to realise I had been overcharged by more than 20% of my total bill. I would not recommend.

Ideal village pub. Nicely decorated and good food and beer. Love the bike mounted up in the rafters!

Booked a table for my partner to celebrate his Birthday and New Year's Eve, arrived to find ourselves seated at a table that was opposite the toilets (how exhilarating) and facing a till, what a complete letdown! The table was booked well in advance, we should at some point been informed that our table was to be next to the lavatory with the option to cancel, this would have provided us with the opportunity to find an alternative restaurant. We complained to the waitress and was subsequently offered a tacky coffee table in the conservatory bar area as an alternative which was completely unacceptable. Feeling completely COMPROMISED we had no choice but to leave, arrived home at 21.30 pm. Thank you, White Hart, Newenden for spoiling not only a New Years Eve celebration but a BIRTHDAY celebration also!!!! Evidently, tables for two aren't considered a priority and why should they be when larger group bookings are so much more profitable!!!! Shame on you! YOU DESERVE ZERO RATINGS!!!!!

Everything was great! Very helpful staff, good food (we had lunch/dinner/breakfast) and rooms perfect for few nights!

Had a really enjoyable Sunday lunch with family. Beautifully presented good crowned with a homemade Yorkshire pudding. Plentiful homemade gravy, tasty veg . Very friendly, efficient service. A very tasty mini dessert rounded off a great meal.

Had a Sunday roast here and unfortunately the beef on both our meals was inedible as it was too tough. I mentioned it to the waitress and she said "she would tell the chef". Unfortunately no apology or follow up. Shame about the service as it could have been so much nicer and we stay in this area frequently but will not return in a hurry.

A no nonsense honest country pub. Decent eating for families good choice of food and beer. Good atmosphere.

We ate here twice recently whilst staying at Bodiam Boating Station. It's just a two minute walk away. Excellent food and service. Dog friendly in the garden and bar areas.

Came here back in June for Father’s Day treat for my husband really loved it!

Although I'm a local, I don't often eat in The White Hart, purely because I like to venture out of the village, but as we had some friends visiting, we booked a table for 6 for dinner on Saturday evening. I was really impressed. The new menu has several starters and main courses suitable for vegetarians and the others were happy with the selection of meat and dish dishes too. In fact, I found it difficult to choose as every dish sounded lovely especially with the pizza menu too. The restaurant was busy with the main and the top restaurant both being used, but the waiting staff provided us with good service all evening, we were looked after and weren't left waiting for our food to arrive. Thank you White Hart I'm already looking looking to trying the new Florentine pizza.

Whilst camping at Bodium Boating Station, the White Hart is our preferred dining option just a few mins walk away - glamping!! Wonderful pies, friendly welcome.

Excellent evening meal after a day paddling on the Rother, food was promptly served and Harvey's excellent, a typical good English country pub

My husband and I went here with friends on Sunday 22nd July for drinks and to check out the live bands playing in the beer and music festival - all for Cancer Research and BHF. The pub was very busy, food was being served inside the pub (usual food, I expect) and also outside because of the occasion. We didn't eat and I don't drink alcohol so I did the driving. There is a pub car park but I parked down the road opposite the pub in a grassy area. I guess parking would've been much easier if the charity event wasn't on. We live pretty close by (only over the last six months or so) so I know the area a little bit. It's a beautiful part of Sussex/Kent. Anyway, we had such a good time - the live music was absolutely brilliant! Totally my kind of thing! We sat with our friends (luckily in the shade because it was an extremely hot day), them drinking and me on the J20's, chatting and listening to the great music and it was a really nice afternoon. We saw The Reinvented, Chris Mansell and a bit of The Equatorial Group. My absolute favourite was The Reinvented; I cannot even tell you how amazing they were. Talented musicians and songs were great. I'd love to see them play again. A great afternoon! We will be returning soon for a drink and a meal.

We enjoyed a lovely evening meal in a large family group. Food was excellent and all fresh. Recommend the falafel starter! Good service too.

We had a good meal out in the very nice beer garden, lots of tables, and a children's play area at the end. I was pleased to see that they had a real (still) cider on draught rather than just the fizzy ones. The food was very good, and the staff were helpful. A very enjoyable evening.

I had a pathetic Caesar salad with tired chicken and my fellow diners had equally mediocre dishes. The service was friendly but haphazard during a quiet time.

I recently had a 70th birthday Sunday lunch for friends and family at The White Hart. I cannot recommend it too highly. The function room was ideal for our purposes. We had specific requirements for the layout of the tables, decorations and children's high chairs etc and all of those requirements were met to perfection. The extensive Sunday lunch menu had an excellent choice for each of the three courses and the menu was given to us well in advance of the day enabling us to circulate it to our guests, giving them plenty of time to respond. Every single guest, and there were 26 guests including 3 children, got exactly what they requested with no hitches whatsoever. The food was great and everyone commented how delicious it was. The bar and table service was very efficient and friendly. A special thanks to Kate at the White Hart for her help in organising the day.

Stayed one night. Returning to my room as I opened my door my thought was that it felt like an inferno. Then I noticed flames outside the window. Hearing laughter I thought maybe it was a barbecue. No! There was an open incinerator right beneath my window, and right next to a wooden shed. Flames were leaping up from it. I could not believe the utter disregard for both safety and the guest's comfort. It smoldered all night and stank. I can only hope it wasn't carcinogenic.

We had an evening meal recently, good initial impression (busy bar, well laid up dining area) but told that all main course specials were unavaiable, all pizzas were off (and they make a special thing of advertising pizzas), pie was off, some varieties of chips were off. Drinks came quickly but we had to ask for food order to be taken (after 20 minute wait - same senairio for a couple at an adjoining table). One member of staff seemed very busy at the bar, the other looked frazzled and neglectful of customers in the dining area. My meal was good (ham egg and chips) but my partner’s steak was tough. Portions were large. Plates not cleared for ages after we’d finished - we decided to pay rather than have to ask for dessert order to be taken.

We visited here for Mother’s Day and friends today as it’s a half way point for us.

We stayed for four days over Easter. We ate at the pub each night. The food was without exception excellent. The Sunday roast was great but the stand out item was the black pudding sausage roll starter which was supurb. There were four real ales available with the local Rother Valley Brewery "Level Best" being the big seller which was always great. The RVB Alliance which was a guest beer brewed with American hops was also outstanding. The staff were all lovely throughout our stay but special mention must go to Maggie who is just a whirlwind of energy and just never stands still. The other mention must go to the locals who always make us feel welcome. We look forward to our next visit.

I have a birthday soon and decided to recce a venue new to me for lunch. The White Hart looked ideal on the map and well situated for walking and photography. Having parked in the roomy car park, we found the pub cosy and welcoming, a fire crackling away in the enormous fireplace. It was a weekday lunchtime and not especially busy but enough folk were in there to indicate that lunch was likely to be good. And it was. My smoked haddock and prawn gratin was absolutely delicious and my husband’s chicken pie was generous and tasty. Service was prompt and friendly. Good value. Can’t wait to return for that birthday lunch!

We went in this week as a table of 4 for the pizza promotion - buy one get one half price as their pizzas in the past have been great. Come order time we were told all pizzas were off. So as it was advertising ' pie week' we went for steak ale pies only to be informed later that they could only supply 2 but there was a lamb, 1 left , we were not impressed. This was meant to be a promotion ?!

We picked this pub as it's not very far from my mother in law. After looking on the internet it looked really nice. We arrived for Sunday lunch and informed the bar staff that two of the family members lived a long way a way and were going to be about 20 minutes late. This is where it started to go wrong. The woman in charge had the hump with us from there on wards. She then questioned how many were having lunch, was it 7 or 9. We said 9 and again told her that the two were on their way to which she turn to another staff member and said we will have to add the table back!! We were shown to our table and then just left! No one offered us menus, asked if we wanted any drinks and eventually we had to go up to the bar and ask. By this time our other family members had arrived. Still no menus and then we were asked what we wanted. We decided to just all have roast and then another waitress came over with menus, after we had ordered!! The waitress and staff were quite incompetent and every time we wanted something we had to go to the bar, whilst other tables were being served. Why offer waitress service then ignore your customers. People came in after us and were served before us. The food was very mediocre and not very hot. The deserts however were very good. But the whole experience was ruined by the surly staff and their unfriendly and unprofessional attitude. It's safe to say we will not be visiting this pub again.

Excellent, honest pub food. We have visited many times and had a engagement party here too. The staff are always friendly and helpful. It's always a pleasure to visit.

Stoped here for lunch and had a great welcome from the staff

My wife, a friend and I had a light lunch at the White Hart today. Excellent service and food. Great atmos. Nice garden, will look forward to seeing that when the warmer weather arrives.

We have stayed at the White couple of times now and it never disappoints.

We went for a great dog walk and ended up in this pub. The dog was allowed in away from...

Went to the White Hart for a midweek lunch. Service was good, beer was good as was the food. Excellent...

Lovely old pub with open log fire. Although main eating area is dog free, there is a place set aside...
