TIRED ROOMS , NO PARKING AT HOTEL. EXPENSIVE FOR A TIRED HOTEL. LOTS OF STAIRS TO ROOM 5. SHOWER FLOODS THE FLOOR, PLUS LOTS OF MOULD. NOT THE CLEANEST PLACE. FOOD QUITE EXPENSIVE WITH 10% ADDED WHETHER YOU GOT GOOD SERVICE OR NOT...ALTHOUGH IT TASTED GOOD (SUN LUNCH) GOOD BFAST NEEDS A REFIT IM AFRAID! I'VE STAYED IN MUCH BETTER FOR LESS £S

We had a nice brunch for my husband's birthday. The chicken rosti was delicious, well-presented, and definitely a highlight. The atmosphere outside was lovely. Overall, the service was good, but since we only ordered at the bar, we didn't interact much with the staff. I’m looking forward to enjoying the sun in the courtyard on my next visit!

We arrived on time at 12.45 for lunch, table reserved. We ordered 2 childrens meals ,4 fish and chips and a pizza. We waited. And waited. We had bread and so we chatted whilst eating that but at 2.15pm we asked about our food. We were told 5 minutes. We asked again 20 minutes later and the adult meals finally arrived at 2.40 pm. The children's 10 minutes later. One child had crudités including carrot. The carrots were brown and had grown mould. The battered fish was dark and burned. It was difficult to find any fish, no flakes just stringy white bits ingrained into the burnt batter. Had it not been that it was a birthday celebration I would have sent mine back! A second orange squash was ordered and orange juice was served. This was removed and squash served. We quietly had a word and when the bill came there was a reduction of 20% but we had been charged for the mouldy veg ,the orange juice we hadnt ordered and a service charge of over £16 had been added. We asked for the bull to be adjusted to remove the service charge,the £2 for mouldy carrots and the drink we did not order. There was then debate because the manager also removed the 20% discount saying if the service charge wasn't paid there could be no discount. I think it is safe to say the wait was not worth the food served. The fish and chip meal at £19.50 was the worst I have ever had. To serve mouldy carrots to children is just disgraceful and the "don't really care attitude of the staff" just topped it off. And we had a very long time to watch attitudes! We will never go there again and my advice is don't chance it.

My recent experience at White Hart in Ampthill was unfortunately marred by extremely impolite and discourteous service from the bar staff. This was quite disappointing and has led me to the decision that I will not be returning to that pub ever again. Yesterday evening, after work on Thursday, February 28th, at approximately 7 o'clock, an unpleasant incident occurred when I popped in to the pub with my laptop after work intending to complete some work. I had a couple of drinks, then with the establishment becoming increasingly crowded, I approached the bar to order another, politely explaining that I felt I was occupying excessive space at my current table and inquiring about the availability of a smaller table equipped with a power outlet (as noone had bothered to come up to me and say anything about the situation). The response I received from the individual behind the bar, a rather unpleasant individual, was far from welcoming. With a dismissive tone, he replied, “Yeah, I know,” indicating that he was aware of the situation but was not willing to assist, and simply said they were fully booked. I packed up my belongings and told him to forget about the drink. Although a nicer young woman approached me and provided a more reasonable response as I was gathering my things, the initial encounter had already left a negative impression on me. Considering the numerous times I’ve dined at that establishment, I can only recall enjoying a satisfactory meal on a single occasion. They know how to cook a roast dinner. I do too, but I don’t charge £20 for it. I’ll never forget the time some pretentious person corrected my pronunciation of “Milanese”—then the food was burnt! Never again.

I was unimpressed by our visit today due to slow/inattentive service and disappointing food. We were a table of 10 that had pre-booked, although it felt like we kept being forgotten because the main pub was packed and there were not enough staff. One person didn't get their food (order forgotten) and had to sit for 10 mins watching others eat. Some of our mains were lukewarm, and the ice cream on our desserts was well and truly melting. This pub is targeting the top of the market and has raised its prices (again). However, you must provide a top-quality product if you want to charge top money. We deserved better at £45+ a head. Finally, the sound of barking dogs in the bar downstairs doesn't add to the ambience.

Unfortunately the standard has gone down since I last ate here. We booked for lunch on a Friday and a wedding was also being catered for . It seemed that there was only one waitress who was run off her feet . We felt sorry for her but the service was very slow. They really needed more staff. Our main dishes were nice though mine was lukewarm in temperature. Apparently it had been sitting on the side but the waitress had been too busy to bring our meals to us until we asked. Also the sticky toffee pudding I ordered for dessert was really awful. Slimy texture and tasteless. The ice cream was nice! Such a shame things have gone downhill.

Bad experience. The staff have no manners. Then make you feel inconveniencing them to ask for a table when you are a walk in. The food takes ages to come. And the prices have gone up. I have been coming to this pub for 20 years for the lunch and staff and service have gone down hill. Short brown haired girl flirting with boyfriend instead of answering our questions. Really not what it used to be.

We recently celebrated our autumn wedding at The Stables at The White Hart in Ampthill. We chose the venue because it was intimate and cosy, perfect for a small wedding. The staff at The White Hart are outstanding! They’re very friendly, welcoming, helpful, knowledgeable and professional. In particular, Amber, Ola and Emily were the staff who managed our booking. I always felt like I was in good hands with them from start to finish. On the day everything was perfect - the venue was set up as we’d planned and it looked fabulous! The food and drinks were amazing, and all the guests commented on how delicious the porchetta was!! Staff on the day were very attentive and helpful. The atmosphere and ambience inside and outside was perfect for our special day, and we can’t thank the team enough for making it so unforgettable!!! We would highly recommend this venue to couples looking for the perfect venue ❤️

I usually love this place but on Christmas Day it was terrible. The main course was missing two items that are meant to be included, the food was over seasoned with salt. Staff handed my meal to someone on another table then lifted it from under them and came to me with it. I personally don’t want food that was given to someone else. In the end we ended up getting our desserts to go. I was so looking forward to the Christmas meal there but for £236 for two people it was not worth it, I wouldn’t even pay half that. It’s a real shame I’ve only had good things in the past.

We had a wonderful meal at The White Hart. It is a gorgeous pub with a delicious menu and a real ambience. The staff were so attentive and friendly. We were sat right next to a birthday party, and some of the guests from the party were quite loud and all stood around our table, which made us feel a bit uncomfortable. Without us even saying anything, the staff offered us free drinks by way of apology. This was so kind, especially as it was not their fault at all. I'd really recommend this as a place for a lovely meal out.

We were invited to try this pub, and we were not disappointed. Service was in good time and friendly, we didn't feel like we were left waiting but felt like we had enough time to choose what we wanted without feeling rushed. The food we had was very tasty, my wife having the Porchetta and I had the fish and chips, both were very tasty. I gave in to temptation and l had the Apple crumble, this was a lot larger than we had expected. No wonder the waiter brought two spoons! My only critique is that it could have done with more than one small scoop of ice cream. I'm sure if I would have asked I could have had another as it didn't last the crumble. But it didn't ruin a loverly meal and experience. The manager even recommended a trip across the road to the antique store, where my wife managed to find a much searched for Umbrella stand, so thank you for that too.

First of all, when we arrived the table that I reserved had been given to someone else. Secondly, half of my meal was almost cold and the egg that I asked to be well fried wasn't. Thirdly, two members of staff were having a shouted conversation from behind the bar with another diner at the table right beside us, such that we had to complain that we could not hear ourselves talking. (They were shouting partly to be heard over the inane muzack.) My experience the last time I was here wasn't much different, so this is the last time.

My sons wedding, a lovely venue and the staff were welcoming and friendly. I will say now having spoken to my son and found the cost per head I need to complain. 60 ,15 of those young children), guests and we were all hungry. A few bowls of pasta a dish of roast new potatoes, a dish roast veg , salad and chicken even the legs were cut in half.. Then in the evening pizza and chips.....the chips came out after the pizza's had been eaten. Come on White Hart, I could of catered for this at half the price, it is a rip off. 80% of us wedding guests had some sort of sickness bug, I am not saying it was the food but my son did e mail to say this just to give you heads up...no response.....very poor .

Thought we’d try here for lunch, and the food was actually pretty good, with a varied menu….which was what appealed to us. That is where the good news ends. Service was pretty much the worst we’ve ever received, and to top it off they sneak a 10% service charge ion to your bill, even for a table of 2. The young lady that served us in the restaurant appeared like it was her first day and had been plonked there off the street. No idea what ales they had on draught and made me walk to the bar to look for myself. There was one option! My wife ordered a glass of champagne, to which she was asked “small, medium or large” Are you kidding!!! What then turned up was flat and tasted like the bottle had been open for a month. When queried, the bar staff actually argued and said it was freshly opened…..eventually swapping it for an alternative drink. The shouting and screaming coming from the kitchen also detracted from the experience. Massive disappointment, and I having looked it up here it is clear that we aren’t the only ones. The lack of management response to reviews clearly shows they don’t give two hoots either. Save your money and go anywhere else. Shame as the food was good, but lacking everywhere else.

We held the wake at the White Hart after my mother's funeral. We paid £18 per head for a preselected buffet for around 35 people, some of whom had travelled many miles to pay their respects. The buffet consisted of 2 or 3 plates of mediocre sandwiches and one plate of hummus dip and a few peppers. The latter went very quickly as there just wasn't enough. The sandwiches were barely enough. The place itself has a nice feel to it, and the private function room was ideal. Similarly, the staff were efficient and helpful. This review is purely about the extortionate charge made for a few sandwiches and a plate of hummus. Oh, there were also 2 big bowls of standard fayre fries. Great. Not being one to rush to give negative views, and baring in mind the occasion, I went in to the White Hart the next day and spoke privately to a very helpful assistant manager who took the time to listen to my issues and made plenty of notes, assuring me he would pass them up the line to more senior management. I have no doubt he did that. And yet, after 2 weeks, there has been no response, and I doubt one is forthcoming. I won't be returning and certainly caution against booking an important event here.

Worst roast I've ever eaten (left) the beef was impossible to cut, let alone chew. The potatoes were bruised , it also came with half a brocoli and a buscuit, that I presume was meant to be a Yorkshire pudding. Not worth £22. Won't be eating there again

While the food itself was good, service was not. We had one course and a coffee and it took 2 plus hours (it didn't even seem to be that busy). We had to ask what was happening with our order as the table next to us who had arrived and ordered after us were served well before us, while we just waited without any communication or explanation from the staff. When we did ask, the meal appeared quite quickly which just made us wonder if they had simply forgotten us and the meals had been waiting in a heated service area. Then we waited ages for the plates to be removed, eventually managed to order some coffees which arrived 15 minutes later and were at best luke warm. Staff were pleasant enough (just a little inattentive) but unless you have a lot of time on your hands I wouldn't recommend eating here.

My only gripe was when we ordered drinks we weren't allowed/offered to make a tab and were asked to come down to the bar to pay before they arrived.

Great WiFi , lovely bath, constant hot water, lovely pillows, hair dryer etc - worth every penny. It is well located for the courts, Waitrose is a few minutes away and there are lots of independent shops. Breakfast was nice but was not enamoured with last night’s meal. May dine out tonight.

My partners pizza (she’s a vegetarian) was cut after mine which had Nduja on it. It was obvious on her vegetarian pizza. Then the waitress was very put out when we asked for ketchup/salt and pepper. Made to feel a nuisance and inconvenience. It’s a shame as the Oakmann Inns group is generally good but this is a poor experience compared to others we’ve been to.

We personally didn’t stay at this hotel, but we came here for lunch on a recommendation. Lunch was exceptionally tasty. I had the eggs Benedict and would say it’s the best one I’ve had. Service was good and friendly staff and will be back again soon.

Great location on the highstreet. Unfortunately parking is £8 per night! The rooms are very quiet, you couldn't hear the pub at all. Very firm beds- which some people like but not personally for me. Overall a good experience though. Handy having the food in the pub.

It's gorgeous, but we won't be back. Booked their family room for our young family and I genuinely don't understand how you can promote a family friendly stay when the room is almost completely inaccessible with a pram. The room wasn't cleaned well, when I hopped out the shower, you could see the former guests had written "I see dead people" in the mirror, visible only with the steam. Hilarious, but definitely hadn't been cleaned properly! When we came down at 5.30pm, we were told to be careful on the stairs because a drunk woman had thrown up on the stairs. At 5.30pm! In a venue meant to be family friendly.

Lovely family meal this Sunday, 12 of us and all food came out hot and was delicious. Friendly staff made us feel welcome from the start and our waitress Maddy very friendly and nothing was too much bother for her with different requests.

First time coming here again in a while and the service has gone backwards. Food was very slow to come out and also found the staff a little bit rude, simple requests seemed like it was a bit too much effort. This is a shadow of what it was a few years back and is a bit of a shame.

Me and my wife stayed here for a couple of night's, and we couldn't thank Chantelle enough for her politeness and service. She took care of our every request in a very professional manner. Its good to see staff like this.

Chantelle took care of us from start to finish ensuring our stay was comfortable and welcoming. She was friendly and handled any questions we had well. If this is the level of staffing throughout the white hart, we will be coming back again.

The winds were blistering cold the other evening, whilst out on my walk! So I decided to pop into the White Hart for a winter warmer. The staff were lovely but one young lady in particular went above and beyond for me. I have never been treated so well! Miss Chantelle Williams. You were an absolute delight. So kind and thoughtful. You made me feel at home! You are a treasure to the White Hart! I wish you all the best in your future and may your efforts be rewarded and recognised. Thank you again.

Met here with some friends for dinner which had been booked. On arrival the seating was a bit strange, they had to juggle chairs to accommodate us. The seating juggling continued for a large part of the evening as more diners arrived. We ended up with a table in the corner in the restaurant upstairs. The lighting was so poor we used our phones for light to read the menu. The staff agreed that the lighting was inadequate. The food was okay, but not brilliant. The service was good and the staff attentive. Probably will not return any time soon.

Long wait for ordering and for the food, when it did come my order was incorrect. I Was then charged for the incorrect item on my bill, when I pointed out to waitress of the error she told me it ‘doesn’t matter they’re the same price anyway’ …which I advised her they were not… she soon corrected the bill for me. Shame the service is so poor as the food is good

Me and my girls went out for birthday night out and stopped at the white hart. Absolutely brilliant service, sever Owen was absolutely amazing to accommodate an all our needs and was so friendly and helpful. Reeneh (assistant manger ) had everything under control within the establishment. Will definitely be returning!!

We waited over 20 min, then we are accused of being difficult. The manager then threatened us, and it got out of control. After a fun evening in ampthil, this pubs arrogance wrecked it

Visited the star for dinner. Food was hot and fresh and very tasty! Good value for money too - some great deals on the main menu. Staff were exceptionally accommodating and attentive. Excellent customer service skills and refreshingly very smiley, thank you Georgia and Chaney! Will definitely be returning soon, highly recommend!
