The White Hart in South Somerset

Great pub, good locals and excellent cider

Working away didn't have food just a few beers with the lads from work, nice place, friendly staff and welcoming atmosphere 👍

Good choice of beers, friendly staff

What a great pub. Very friendly, helpful staff. Couldn't do enough for us. Dog friendly and really welcoming. Highly recommend.

We went in for a pint on a chilly Monday evening. Warmly welcomed by friendly staff and chatty locals. Dog was welcomed too and was made a fuss of. Comfortable bar area, pub clearly two or three hundred years old. Not too noisy/busy for a cosy chat. Relaxing way to spend an hour or two. We’ll definitely be back when next in the area.

Came here twice during a short stay nearby. Staff friendly and helpful.

Would've been 5 stars but we weren't able to get food. Lovely pub, friendly and clean

White Hart is a lovely pub. Always clean, staff very friendly. Great during spring and summer when you can sit outside 🙂

Lovely pub & staff were very friendly.

Great bar menu, beer's good and great range of wood fired pizzas!

A basic, unprepossesing, pub. Good welcome given to our walking group. Limited food menu but very good value. Excellent ham, 2 eggs, chips and peas for £10.. Hot drinks good value too..

Great little country boozer. Friendly service and lovely pizzas

Das White Hart ist ein klassischer Pub, also genau nach unserem Geschmack. Wir waren dort zum Karaoke und hatten einen fantastischen Abend. Die Getränke sind sehr günstig und die Bedienung ist freundlich.

Had a lovely meal on my trip to Somerset, definitely try the steak! The puddings are amazing also! Very friendly staff and cosy atmosphere

Had nice couple glasses of wine with pizza and lasagne which was absolutely delicious. Just like homemade. One of the best I've had actually Compliments to the chef and bar staff. Nice welcome and chat.

service was amazing, luke especially made it even better. 10/10 recommend

Very good breakfast nice to see a good breakfast back in town

Good atmosphere friendly staff reasonably priced drinks,parking, beer garden,food,pool table, darts dog friendly 👍

Nice pub. Great selection of lagers and ample parking. Lovely bathrooms, even though it is a bit of a walk! I will visit again in the future. Country pub atmosphere, but not too dreary. Recommend to anyone in the area.

Great pub, great people, made us feel very welcome

Lovely table overlooking the sea, we all had fish & Chips, all very good.

A charming & upmarket pub. Don’t be put off by the high-class clientele; no hooray Henrys here, just affable gentlemen who seem to be turning Castle Cary into the new Bruton.

Nice pub, friendly and accommodating.

Had a nice Latte here on Sunday afternoon. The staff were very pleasant. Unfortunately the pub seemed full of loudmouths and some very bad language forced us to sit outside. Not for families I would suggest.

Lovely pub with good atmosphere & great cider but not currently doing food. Nice seating outside & lovely decor inside.

We called in on spec for a drink or two and partaken of the Cider. It was a sunny day so we sat outside and watch the world go by, albeit at a slower pace in the lovely old town. Ordering and payment was effortless and the drinks were brought straight to our table. Clearly a popular pub with the locals and a prime location in town.

Its a shame the clientele didn't match the decor. A sweat box would be good. Off putting for familys and couples out to have a enjoyable afternoon/ evening.

On the Cask Marque Ale Trail with a fair choice of revolving ales to choose from. Arriving early this day, I asked some patrons, already with pints in hand, what was the trending tipple. "Doombar" came as a chorus - and so it was. The ale was in excellent condition, the cellar man well deserving the accreditation awarded. The locals were affable and in good spirits - perhaps they'd been there longer than I thought

The locals, when asked 'What's good' chorused 'Doombar!' which most of them seemed to be drinking - so, knowing I wasn't getting the first one out of the line, even though it's not a beer high on my 'Likes' board, I ordered a pint. Good choice, the ale was in excellent condition. The pub is on the Cask Marque Ale Trail, and really, ALL the beers on offer should be drawn off and equally presentable. I have noticed on early lunch time visits however, this has been a mixed experience. The certificate of accreditation, was unearthed (not yet deployed after a recent paint job) in good order and scanned without trouble - good wi-fi here. The pub is very Olde Worlde and despite clearly having a recent TLC session, retains many of the original features. The same can be said for the gaggle of regulars, settling down for their lunch time session - garrulous and convivial, the banter and jokes were amusing. Worth more than another visit.

Appalling service. Booked for 12pm the previous day, arrived just after, pub was incredibly quiet but the table wasn't even set up. Took 20 minutes to get drinks at the bar with only 2 other patrons. Over an hour later we were still waiting for our first course. Dont waste your time or money.

The White Hart in Castle Cary is and will always be my local. I've moved away now but the second I return I'll be popping in for a pint. Despite the clientele being largely coke-heads and dropkicks, it's all part of the Castle Cary charm. Locals are friendly and you're never without the company of some cool drunks.

This is a traditional pub but with a welcome. Comfortable-enough. Old: the passageway back to the toilets has a very quirky slope. Friendly service. Coffee was poor and very weak: served with a biscuit.

Possibly the best sandwiches ever and in a traditional pub at a fair price. Terrific!

Being a bright sunny afternoon, this pub looked very inviting with it's outside green seating area. The dog was happy on the lawn and didn't mind the performing troubadour too much. Performer was actually rather good and broke his set up with breaks that kept a nice balance.Staff did table service of bar snacks and it was all jolly good

Cheaper place for a drink in Castle Cary. Nice and friendly staff and quick service of drinks.

On a drive around looking at property and felt the urge for lunch. Many other places were closed, luckily this pub was open so we popped in. At first it appeared a bit disconcerting, but once we got staff attention it felt a bit more welcoming. Typical pub grub, burger, scampi etc was had. It was all tasty and served quickly, if a little sparse on the accompaniments. The price was reasonable as well.

We met some friends for a wander around Castle Cary and picked The White Hart for lunch, decided upon by it's attractive looking beer garden. The food was traditional pub fayre. I had a (home made) chicken and mushroom pie, a proper pie 😁 not a bowl of stew with a pastry lid, very tasty, we also had ham egg and chips, home made burger and chips plus scampi. All good quality, tasty and exceptional value.

Good choice of real ales. Very popular local. Limited menu and sport on the tv. Good parking in the street outside.

Lovely pub, nice garden, friendly staff. Good for a few pints or a night out

Love the idea sitting at the bar and talking to local landlord and other customers over a pint of local ale. Typical small town pub with loads of character and a good selection of beers on tap as well as traditional cider. Also cater for the hungry and Sunday menu reasonably priced.

Nice little pub with a good selection of beer and ciders, friendly staff and nice beer garden. But it was their pies that stood out. Properly made with good pastry alround and proper steak and kidney filling. Delicious.

Great Christmas dinner, so stuffed with well cooked fresh food and didn't have to lift a finger to do anything but enjoy it. Well done guys

First class proper pub, very friendly , good beer and the food was fantastic. Well recommended .

It's alright. Nice to sit out the front and watch the world go by.

It looked OK from the road, so with difficulty we managed to park in their yard. I went in, asked if they served lunches, and went off to the loo. I came back to find my husband sitting at a table, upon which was a huge economy pack of loo rolls, next to the open kitchen door. A fire extinguisher stood next to it, and several staff members were chatting round a laptop. Our tea came with a pot of hot water, a welcome touch. Our meals took a very long time to come. We were pestered all the time by flies. My curry of the day, pork, consisted of lumps of fat and was tasteless, unless you count the rice, which tasted odd. My husband literally could not penetrate the solid crust on his steak and kidney pie. I suggested he turn it upside down and attack it from the bottom. It was extaordinarily hard, but the meat was nice. We ate a little, our appetites by now quite gone, and paid our bill.

We were searching for somewhere to eat earlyish with the kids. The white Hart didn't disappoint. Great food friendly staff. The kids loved a quick game of pool after the meal too. Thanks

Had a nice drink In the beer garden

Fab food, fab service. Happy and friendly

Country pub with friendly staff

My neighbours and I had a very good farewell supper before I travelled to Kenya, and the atmosphere was terrific. I am sorry to hear that the family have moved on.

Ok pub food good selection of beers and cider

Friendly, good service and good food. Sadly the family have moved on and the pub is looking for a new publican to take over.

Good ale. Great food. Friendly staff.

Leer otras críticas, difícilmente puede creer que este es el mismo White Hart que mi compañero y yo tuvimos un almuerzo en ayer.

Cinco de nosotros vinimos aquí para el almuerzo, la comida, tanto entrantes y platos principales estaban muy bien, pero el ambiente era un poco sosa. No hay auténtica bienvenida del barman, un menú y no auténtico ambiente. Sin embargo, la comida estaba bien preparada y de un precio razonable.

Fuimos a comer el viernes 9 de septiembre de 2016. Nos dieron una cálida bienvenida y acompañado a una mesa. Pedimos pescado y patatas fritas, seguido por un chocolate caliente brownie con refresco. La comida estaba recién hecha y abundante y nos sentimos bastante completo después. Acoplado a un precio razonable que no me puedo quejar de ninguna manera.

Old feel pub in the heart of an old feel village

Visitamos este pub para comer en un día de mercado martes en Castle Cary. Tanto mi esposa y yo tuvimos la hamburguesa casera que era fantástico. La carne era de procedencia local y bien madurado dando la hamburguesa un maravilloso sabor: 'si lo que quieres es entretenerte. Mi esposa tenía la pannacotta de postre que estaba hecha con crema de leche. Ella todavía no ha dejado de hablar sobre ello! Era tan buena! Este es un pub agradable con muy complaciente. Si estás en la zona bien merece una visita.

El White Hart es de gestión familiar y sus pub, muy amable, encantadora, agradable pub espacioso pub con una buena selección de cervezas y sidras.

It was pouring with rain, we were looking for a 'dog friendly' Pub for a light snack, we were warmly welcomed at The White Hart, the food we ordered was freshly prepared and full of flavour, there was general banter in the Pub, and we were welcomed by the locals, Now Well fed, the rain had stopped and on with our travels, would strongly recommend.

Good pub food, great welcome and really friendly staff. We arrived early but this was no problem. Burgers were had by all and all were delicious. Service with a smile and prompt. Really nice atmosphere

Buena relación calidad-precio almuerzo de domingo. Decisión tardía pero no muy concurrida disfrutamos de un almuerzo tipo estándar, tanto la carne y pollo muy bueno. Flan incluido y de una excelente selección tuvimos una mezcla de pan, mantequilla, queso y Nueva York sticky toffee pud. Muy bueno

Pidió a la señora en la Co Op al otro lado de la carretera, si este pub estaba bien y si estaba bien para llevar a los niños, la respuesta fue positiva, así que nos dio una oportunidad. Moral de esta historia ... siempre escuchar...

We had a really nice meal here, in clean, traditional pub surroundings. Nice, friendly, efficient staff. Recommended.

Great pub to eat in and a god send, because we were staying at the horse pond, but food was not available, due to no chef? but this pub saved the day.

Visited this pub on the way home from a day at Weymouth for an evening meal. Good range of fare on offer and a nice friendly welcome. Not high dining but everything we ordered was well cooked, tasty, well presented and good value. I had the five bean chilli (perhaps a little more chilli needed for my taste) and my wife the Lasagne which came with a lovely side salad. All in all a lovely meal in a friendly pub in a beautiful little old market town. Well worth a visit.

Stopped here for lunch one Sunday as the place offered meals other than Sunday Roast. we only wanted a snack and ordered a panini filled with fish fingers - a childhood favourite! The food was well cooked and delicious however the service was a little slow as it seemed like the kitchen completed one order at a time. The staff were very friendly and polite and we were made to feel very welcome.

Friendly staff and regulars, very good service and excellent pub food. If we pass through Castle Cary again we will be back

Was driving through this area visiting friends, popped in after a long drive from Cornwall with husband and two teenage boys and 11 year old daughter. Menu looked yummy so ordered four meals. Food was so delicious we didn't leave a morsel. Great chef, lovely ambience, welcoming and friendly landlady, very reasonable prices. The cider was wonderful as well, hitting the spot, glad the husband was driving. Wish we could of stayed for longer......

Nice fun pub... Everyone is friendly..
