The White Hart in South Somerset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Rooms are well maintained and clean! Beautiful pub, the food was really good, in-house staff were friendly. Highly recommend.

I can't praise the food at the White Hart highly enough. We had dinner and breakfast twice during our short stay, and everything was imaginative, delicious, and exquisitely presented. Service was excellent; friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The bar and rooms are really nicely and comfortably decorated; great colour schemes with quirky details. Being dog friendly is a bonus; ours really appreciated his own water bowl and treats whilst we ate our meals. He especially liked his little gift box 🎁. I would definitely recommend a visit. We will certainly be returning. Thank you for our lovely short break.

A genuine B&B experience in charming Somerton.

Service here is always excellent, and the food delicious to go alongside it. Highly recommend for a casual but wonderful spot for dinner.

We have had the good fortune of visiting this place for food on two occasions, the most recent being for a 60th birthday sunday lunch today with extended family, and on both occasions the food, service and overall experiences have been 5* and above. Big THANK YOU to all the staff, chef etc.....for making our sunday celebration a memorable one. Highly recommend this establishment and we will definitely be eating here again.

We had a lovely Sunday lunch here. Service was good and very efficient and friendly. Food was presented lovely plentiful and cooked to perfection. There were 6 of us all had different dinners and desserts. Nothing was too much trouble. It was excellent value for money. The menu itself was varied so plenty to choose from . We will definitely return .

Sunday lunch ,treat for fathers day... Disappointing ! asked for crunchy pork belly and requested make sure its all hot please. However todays belly pork didn't fall a part as it has in the past at the white hart. The meat was chewy and the crackling soft and chewy. Everything was luke warm... Asked for extra gravy hoping it would warm it up? But had to wait ages for extra gravy and in the end I went and collected it myself . Lots of new staff, and the service was poor... Don't think we will b back...

Staying in Somerton for a break . Very busy , very pleasant staff but appeared disorganised. Waited on by numerous people. Food nice, we felt overpriced . Pleasant ambience.

Food great, staff attitude and reaction to their mistakes very poor. Will be independently reviewed.

A very nice Sunday spent, they have Sunday special menu but we all ordered triple roast, perfect delicious meats. The service is nice, lovely staffs.

This is a very pleasant pub. It was very quiet when we visited; the venue is well laid out, and staff are friendly and efficient. There is a good amount of vegetarian choice, and service is impeccable.

Everything you could want, clean, friendly, ingeniously designed room, nice food, reasonable prices, treats for the dog. We stayed on our way home from a holiday in Devon and it was ideal. We're still working off the breakfast two days later! Thanks for looking after us, we'll certainly look to stay again.

Always an excellent experience when we go here 😀

Booked for 18:45. Arrived at 18:46. Admittedly 1 minute late. Was seated pretty quickly in a quiet part of the restaurant (only us in this area). Waited around 10 mins to have drinks order taken which was fine. A table of 6 were seated next to us. 15 minutes later we still hadn't had the food order taken. In the meantime the table of 6 had their drinks order taken and then subsequently their food order as we sat there wondering why on earth we had been ignored. We gave it another 5 minutes and after over 30 minutes of being sat, waiting and ignored whilst the table 6 feet away had been attended to, we decided to leave half a beer and half a pepsi. To keep my morals I went to the bar and asked to pay for the drinks - which we did. No apology, no questions as to why we were leaving or why we decided to leave. No idea why we were completely ignored, but we were. Please review your CCTV. By far the worst experience I've ever had at any pub or restaurant. You can refund me for the drinks when you get around to it as well.

one very small burger and v. small chips, one steak and chips, one childds small Margarita pizza and cup of peas, one v. small pan fried fish with three Jersey Royal potatoes and four stslks of very over cooked thin dried up asparagus with a single cream sauce...one non alcoholic cocktail, one soda... £102. Fish eater asked gor bread...stale hard cut into four white roll finally arrived.

Attended a neighbour's birthday breakfast here. Great food and excellent service.

It's a nice place a nice atmosphere and the beer is good Butcombe Rare Breed mmm, but the staff they polite and friendly nice people but so slow when a crowd of people are waiting move yourself they do it in other pubs get their money as quick as you can. Also make mistakes order a pizza to take away and it comes on a plate want to eat in comes in a box, but food is very good.

Second time visiting in a long while, but fancied a light lunch. The menu offered sandwiches, pizzas and a few other main dishes. My partner had the burger and I had the mushroom with wild garlic pesto pizza. Sadly my pizza was absolutely tasteless, an awful texture, and the pesto had no hint of garlic what so ever, and I couldn’t finish it. We did mention to the waitress that the pizza didn’t taste of anything… and they said they would pass this on to the chef. It was very disappointing. My partners burger was okay… although the bun was quite hard and was of low quality. The atmosphere was great, but sadly we won’t be returning.

Amazing parsnip soup for lunch -- truly lovely.

Lovely place but cashless so sad bye bye

Pleasant staff, good choice of beer and cider

Sorry to say not our cup of tea. Food very expensive and portion control very small for a 17.50 Sunday lunch. Between 2 of us 5 small Half's potatoes 2 carrots 2 parsnips and a lump of cabbage 🥬. On a plate in the middle. Expect more than this from the most expensive place in Somerton. 8 pounds for a Bacardi and 2.50 for a splash. Don't bother not Evan proper Bacardi .. Just walk on by.

Ok isn’t it, quite average really. Wait a long time to get served, nice enough drinks. Go through to eat a little bit better than ordinary.

Good haunt on a Monday when the two coffee shops are both closed... Rustic but quirky.

First time visit. Mixed reviews but we really enjoyed the food & service. Shared a starter of maple braised beef which was delicious. Main course just as good. I couldn’t manage a pudding but hubby had chocolate mousse, again superb balance of flavours. Staff attentive & knowledgeable. Will go back

Have been here many times over the years. The decor is good, the staff are fine and the ambience is cosy, even though the place is large. Its the food that lets it down time and again. The quality of the pizzas is OK, but at these prices you're not paying for OK. Pizza prices are £11 - £14.50. You get nothing else. I actually had the (rather small) chargrilled burger, with aioli etc, two bits of gherkin and a few chips - £18.00. That really is taking the mick. The quality of the burger package was good, but the portion size is lamentable.

I stayed here for two nights with my partner and dog. Very friendly and obliging staff throughout our stay, Harry was especially helpful. We had a small double, dog friendly room. It was entirely adequate - a king sized bed with lovely pillow selection and duvet and bedspread. Room was very warm despite the time of year and no heating was required. Quirkily decorated with a metal desk and drawers and some lovely old lamps. Plenty of lighting options. A tower fan was available if needed. A well appointed room, despite it's size. No room for a wardrobe but hangers provided with wall hooks, hairdryer, De Longhi coffee machine, kettle, glasses, mugs/saucers. The bathroom was large with a rain, over-bath shower. Good quality shampoo, creams and conditioner provided, along with tissues, toothbrushes, etc. We chose the deal with breakfast and evening meal voucher of £40. Breakfast choice was excellent and the full English was very good, with beautifully cooked eggs and local sausages. Prettily stacked up on a slice of toast, as per the norm today. We ate two meals in the bar area with dog in tow - not allowed in the restaurant area, no problem. We had the 'Special' chicken burger which was a little dry but the triple cooked chips were smashing. The terrine starter was very dry and tasteless, we're glad we only had one to share. The Merlot was lovey. Second night was a Somerset Pizza, cooked in the resident oven. The flavours of squash and pumpkin were a bit too similar and the base wasn't fully covered and difficult to cut. I had the flat iron chicken, which was delicious with olives and tomato base, but could have done with chips suggested as a side. If you have a dog, then there is a good pee spot in the lovely churchyard just opposite the Market Square, or the pub's own garden, to which residents have direct access. Overall a very nice stay in a character laden hotel, which was very well frequented by both locals and tourists.

Lovely pub grate food happy service and decor is stunning

As great as ever! Never had anything other than a good experience here.

Stayed recently whilst on a training course in Langport - awesome pub with amazing food! Really friendly, helpful staff and the room was spot on! 👌

Nice Sunday lunch with lots of flavour.....choice of Beef, Pork or Chicken . The service was slow but they were busy.

Great experience from start to finish. Staff so professional and friendly too. Didn't give 5 stars for our room as it was very dark and overlooked a wall.

We've just returned from a lovely evening away. From the fantastic welcoming to the amazing food and perfect room. We had a great time away and loved the room and all the extras within the room. The staff were lovely, helpful and very attententive, nothing was too much trouble. The food was amazing and just what we needed to indulge into. The location is lovely and the layout of the restaurant/ bar is lovely. Thank you to all the team for a wonderful evening away! We will be back

Dropped in for breakfast & was given dry hard toast with unripe unable to eat avocado & cold dry hard bacon sandwich. Drinks were ok & they gave us them for free as the food was so terrible

Had a fantastic Sunday lunch, best roast for ages, even better than their partner hotel, the Kings Arms in Dorchvegas. Will definitely be going back to try the full menu.

Very good roast dinner, triple roast is fantastic. They also have a pizza oven and put together a great pizza for what’s essentially a nice gastro pub. The only problem is their poor lager selection! I don’t get why they only have freedom lager (which just isn’t great), I recently visited the Swan in Wedmore (part of the same group) and their choice was one of the best I’ve ever seen - also the Chapel isn’t bad.

Have visited many times and always happy to return. On this occasion (early Friday evening) is was lively and loud (too loud for us but clearly popular) Quietened down once the post-work drinkers left. Initially service almost non-existent (we had to get our own menus and then go to find someone to take our order). After that it was all top quality (hence 4 not 5 stars). Rob served us throughout in a timely manner. The food was largely excellent Starter of whipped feta with heritage vegetables was a little unimaginative on the “heritage” quality ; I would have expected more variety on the basic orange carrot and the cucumber. That said the coley scampi with curry mayo was perfectly cooked. Our mains were the star of the meal - gundi (vegetarian) was spot on quality. My elderly mother really enjoyed the hake and pea puree and my husband thoroughly enjoyed the flat iron chicken - really intense/rich flavours. Portion sizes were generous. Desert was white chocolate pana cotta - the least obviously sweet desert from the menu. A little more variety here would be good - too heavy on toffee and chocolate choices. All main food delivered on warm / hotish plates (a previous concern of mine was cold plates) I understand the menu changes about every 3 weeks - current selection makes this a good visit. Excellent bottle of Tinto at £30.

A lovely meal with friends. Great service and exceptional food!! The steak was huge, cooked to perfection and delicious! Very reasonably priced especially for the quality of the food. The staff really couldn’t do enough for us. Highly recommended

Easy online booking and good communication leading up to check in. Staff are very friendly, remember which room you are in when ordering drinks or food and always had time for all the customers who came in. It is busy during the day so was nice to see locals popping in for a coffee and cake, or even a quick drink after work. The room was cosy with a gorgeous bathroom and super deep bath. They provide toiletries which are made locally and sold in the pub if you ask for them. The radio was on in the room when i checked in which was a nice touch. Good range of coffee and teas. Great location if you are doing some travelling in the area. Street and Glastonbury not far away, and the great selection of local shops are a 5 minute walk. Would stay again and recommend to anyone looking for a popular, friendly and dog friendly place to visit.

This place was recommended to us by our B&B so we went in and booked a table for two for 6pm that night. When we arrived they had no record of our booking so not given table initially shown. Menu was quite varied and obviously indicated it was a gastro pub. We ordered and the staff were polite and efficient. Food however was a let down though, tiny portions although it was well presented it was style over substance. Gastro food, Astro priced so not value for money. This is not a place for the average couple/ family struggling with normal cost of living. Steer clear.

We were recommended by a friend. The menu was lovely food was great all the stuff were really helpful. Being gluten free didn't seem to be a problem Their ice cream is home made...and worth finding a bir of space for! There's a lovely rustic atmosphere there too.... I'll be back soon...worth booking in advance ... Bon appetite 😋

This place is fantastic! We dined here on Friday and I’ve never known a restaurant so considerate to catering for my allergy. We were a large group and all agreed the food was excellent! The staff were very helpful and friendly, lovely interior and loos. Would highly recommend!

Couldn’t fault at all some of the best food we have had in ages would highly recommend and can’t wait to visit again. The food was phenomenal. All the staff were amazing so kind and inattentive, especially Rob who took time out to chat with us at the end. Good value for money as the quality of food and service was faultless.

Looking for a Saturday evening meal we arrived on-spec and received a really warm welcome despite it being a busy time. All the staff were friendly and efficient. The menu was varied and interesting with good choice. The Kohlrabi vegetarian dish proved a true delight - certainly the best vegetarian dish I’ve had and my partner’s cod dish was equally wonderful. As first time customers we were impressed. It won’t be our last visit!

We have stayed here on a few occasions. It’s the prettiest little village and the service here and the food are top draw. The rooms are immaculate.. maybe a little small . The breakfast was 5/5 and evening meal.. there is a courtyard which is charming … I will definitely return

We stopped by here on our way and after our holiday in Cornwall and can honestly say that, during both occasions, we had the best food ever. Rob was very attentive and nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely come back.

Everything about the White Hart is excellent; the food, the ambience and in particular the service. We had Sunday lunch here and were served by Abi and Rob, who went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed. I couldn't recommend this place highly enough

The food was ok… fairly average sunday roast. Very eatable and average sized portions. The drinks how ever are super overpriced! 7-8quid a pint 1 glass of wine might set you back 10-12 quid

Brilliant place! Great atmosphere! A couple of weeks ago I had my mums hen do at The White Hart, and the service and food was amazing. The service was brilliant too, I didn’t get our servers name, but they were constantly checking we had enough drinks or if we needed anything else and they were just lovely! The food as well was really tasty, and there wasn’t much left on any plates! Will definitely be going back soon!

We stayed the night with supper and breakfast. From the moment we arrived and we’re welcomed by Harry, to the attentive and excellent service at supper from Abbey the stay was magical. Room 3 is an absolute treat with character and style. The food is better than it should be - well presented and of exceptional quality. If you’re looking for stylish, friendly, comfortable and affordable - then the White Hart is everything and more.

Impromptu dinner out and we were welcomed with a smile and really great service. Luckily a table was available (would recommend booking, though) and we were able to enjoy an incredible meal. We both have dietary preferences (allergy and both vegetarian) but these were no problem when giving our orders. Service was excellent, we were looked after by George and Tania, both really great at what they do; friendly and knowledgeable when asked about the options. 100% will be back, well done!

So disappointed. I booked for my partners birthday having read about the chef and thought it might be special for him. We were given a table out of the way in the bar as we had the dog with us and we were absolutely fine with that. The decor is nice and we are happy enough with our table. However we then became invisible! We were given the menus and then after waiting 20 minutes for someone to take our drinks order we went to the bar ourselves to order. The lady behind the bar wasn't particularly friendly but changed a bit when she realised we were dining there and had had to order our own drinks. The food, I do have to say was very nice and we don't mind paying a higher price for that but expect some kind of service! It was shocking! We have come away wondering what we did wrong and feeling a bit rubbish :-(. Our plates were never cleared away so we had no dessert or coffee and had to pay the bill at the counter. Big shame. Will not be going back.

A great find for all the family. The staff went above and beyond for us all. My son is coeliac and our server handled this with such ease, we were able to have nearly everything on the menu. We will be back very soon.

Incredibly poor service.Was given menus and after waiting for service I had to go to the bar myself and order food and drinks. Food was poor for the price and no one came to clear our plates or take our desert order. The service charge is ridiculous considering I done the job of the serving staff myself. Very poor and won’t be back.

Really disappointed with service today.04/08/23 approx 12:30. Came I for coffee and cake with a view to sussing out for lunch another day Girl behind bar was rude and unhelpful. Felt very unwelcome. If you want my money you have to do better than that.

First thing to note is that this place has no car park. So we had to find a place on the street some distance away where we could park. We dined in the restaurant. We ordered plaice which came on the bone with just a...

Excellent pub, food is delicious, particularly the pizza. Staff are always happy, helpful and attentive. Love this place but unfortunately they have gone cashless… whilst I have no problem paying with a card I think I should be given the choice.. so whilst I will...

I could not leave tonight without writing a review for the White Hart. This is our local ‘Go to’ pub/restaurant and this was probably the best meal we have had in there. The choices on the menu were great. My wife is gluten intolerant, this...

Friendly staff who moved us after we requested to sit away from a large/loud party. This hugely improved our overall experience. Great food, especially the pizzas! Staff were helpful and regularly checked in on us :)

We decided to have lunch here since the online menu looked interesting, and we weren’t disappointed. There was lots of vegetarian choice, with some quite unusual items. There are numerous alcoves to sit in, rather than a general dining area, which made for greater privacy,...

Hadn't booked for a meal on a Friday, but we're given a table. Good service. One excellent meal but one not so good. Steak was very tough. When waiter asked how the meal was, he just offered a sharper steak knife which would not have...

We have stayed at all the Stay Original hotels but the food at this one was the best. We stayed for one night, had dinner and breakfast. Superb food, using good, simple ingredients but imaginatively put together and well presented. The same high quality at...

Excellent food and service! The menu is somewhat limited but the food is always cooked to perfection - the pizzas are amazing!

Midweek, early evening. The restaurant is spacious (no squashing of tables together), the service was friendly (and from knowledgable staff) and the food was delicious and fabulous. The dessert menu is very limited, but most will be full by then anyway. Really terrifc meal.

We came for late lunch after a last-minute decision on Easter Sunday. They had a table available at 3.30pm and the food came out quickly. Roast chicken with roast potatoes, a parsnip, some pureed carrots, kale and gravy. I would have gone for the cauliflower...

Just had a wonderful visit to Somerton and over night stay. We were so impressed with all the staff who went out of their way to make sure our stay was enjoyable. Clearly they understand what good customer service is all about! Our bedroom was...

The White Hart was fantastic for my mum's 80th Birthday celebration. We had 28 people in total for a sit down meal and everyone thought the food and organisation was great. Special mention to Tania who made sure everything was perfect. Thank you for making...

Local friends celebrating the period between Xmas and New Year... Had the table all evening, flexible with ordering each course and attentive to our needs... As fairly frequent users, consistent level of service and quality of food.

What a fabulous evening celebrating our son’s 18th birthday, we can’t thank the wonderful staff enough for making the evening so memorable. Lovely food made even better by the team working there this evening. Flaming Sambuca’s - is there a better way to end the...

Wow! We stumbled across this little beauty last week and we are amazed at how we have never been in before. Beautiful decor, superb staff, excellent food and great value for £. We enjoyed every aspect as a family and have already planned our next...

The service on a weekday lunchtime was so appallingly slow that we were automatically offered a £10 rebate on the bill, but then I realised that the discretionary 10% gratuity was £6.20 of that £10.00, so a £3.80 rebate then. Totally disappointing pizza too. If...

I booked a table for lunch and we were shown to an area with no other diners, on the route from the kitchen to the rest of the pub. The place is tastefully decorated and we had plenty of time to take it all in....

My partner and I came here yesterday evening and we both agreed it was the best meal either of us have had in a very long time! We both had starters, mains and shared a dessert. Our starters and mains were exceptional (monkfish scampi and...

Excellent pub food, fantastic stone baked pizzas which were really delicious and loaded with high-quality toppings. The starters were restaurant rather than pub quality, the scotch egg and charcuterie boards in particular were delicious and well portioned. The garden is spacious and lovely for a...

Came here with family to celebrate a belated birthday and had a thoroughly enjoyable evening. Great ambience of the restaurant, staff were very accommodating as we originally were going to sit outside but my Nan felt the cold so we moved inside which they were...

We had an excellent Sunday dinner here and it was dinner (not lunch) because we ate in the evening. There aren't many places where you can get Sunday dinner in the evening. The place was busy but we found a quiet table. It's a little...

Really great food and a very attractive environment. The food is a little on the expensive side, but we didn't mind paying a bit more to get this level of quality.

Both of our evening meals were outstanding. Flavours, textures and size. The breakfast was great too. Good choices at both.

Booked in advance for a family get together coming from different directions. A good rendezvous voucher point. Easy parking. Free nearby. Attractive pub with a warm welcome. We had drinks at the bar before settling on our table for 6. A big spread out restaurant....

Credit where credit's due. The food itself was really tasty. Tiny, but tasty. I was told the special was lamb so I went for that. They didn't say it was a good £10 more expensive than the rest of the menu. It came and it...

Terrible. Food was over priced, over cooked, orders mixed up, small portions, waited ages for sauces, no one checked how we were. We didn’t pay for the meal in the end it was so poor.

Lovely pub -decor is balance of old and modern, bright and open. Service was charming although there were quite long waits at time. Roasts were a success but some dishes were rather dry making us wonder if the chef had actually eaten the dish as...

Food disappointing. Belly pork was not crisp came with vegetable garnish only. The gnocchi was so dry I passed it over to my partner who had some juice but only a tiny ball of potato with his belly pork. Home made crackers were so tough...

The main meal was the portion of a starter . Cooked okay, but very expensive for what it was . Staff pleasant and efficient but food disappointing .

This is a great restaurant where you can watch the chefs while they work. I had the Arancini which were delicious and my wife had some gnocchi also very good. We both had pizza's which were excellent. For dessert I had a Salted Caramel and...

Guess disappointing sums up our experience. The food was just ok, cocktails ok… l had the plaice which should have come with a warning as it contained more bones than fish. I bought this to the waiter George’s attention but had little response. The chips...

Great building and interior in lovely market. The staff team felt as if they were new. Service was functional. My pizza was tough, one of my guests had a huge plate of Sunday roast without a spark or chlorophyll to be seen on it. At...

Had a lovely lunch with friends. Staff were welcoming and attentive. Sadly a glass of red wine was 11,80!!!! Was appalled at being charged this amount, without being warned before hand. I understand wines vary in price....but felt this was beyond the pail.

Birthday dinner (midday meal) restaurant was nice and warm, which was nice as the weather outside was very cold. Staff friendly. The menu said that there was a DISCRETIONARY 10% service charge, but when the bill came the service was already added, so not discretionary...

Friendly and welcoming and pleasant enough room for a one night stopover in a very pretty and bustling village. Whilst the bar and restaurant areas are attractive, the evening special of chalk stream trout was spoilt by an overgenerous amount of kale and quite strong...

Exceptional roast dinner!!! The venison and wild mushroom starters are devine!! Great wine selection too... Well worth the money. Staff were very friendly and attentive. We are here for a long weekend and when we come back we will definitely be coming here again!!

Ignored at front desk whilst waiting for table Eventually told no breakfast now stopped Service No smile no friendly smile Unbelievable bad hospitality We will not bother again such a shame

Good varied menu. Staff extremely helpful. Food very good, example of food varied dishes from pizza, fish, local pork made into a dish Lovely pub, real log fires for winter. Locally sourced beers.

Was recommended this venue for a meal as we had recently moved into the area. The place itself was impressive, lovely decor, ambience and had a rustic cottage feel. Placed our order with the delightful waitress. As we overlooked the kitchen, the chef and sous...
