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

Fab family birthday meal & a great evening at The White Hard , awesome menu choices & great service. Loved the Douth African twist potting for the boboti curry 🍛 just awesome. With caramel cheesecake to finish a wonderful evening and just the ticket.

It's a charming boutique hotel in a quiet Village near Henley on Thames Upon arrival large car park just log your reg number Bar and restaurant area old world warm and welcoming All staff excelled in customer service Room was beautiful and clean After a couple of beers Went to restaurant Phoeve was our server Utterly professional and could not do enough for us Dinner was totally fantastic Breakfast was great Very well cooked and presented Good job Chef Breakfast host was extremely efficient in a relaxed manner Tea Coffee toast cereal etc self serve with a good selection Hot food cooked to order Minimal wait Would recommend this to anybody We as a couple will definitely return and have already recommended to Famiy and Friends Keep up the good work and standards It definitely added to my Birthday celebration We opted for a mega small breakfast as we're still full Plenty options for breakfast

Treated my friend to a birthday treat. The weather was so good we were able to enjoy our delicious food al fresco. My friend had the Belly Pork, I had the Seafood Linguine. Had hoped to meet up with Ian to personally thank him for helping me out with a parking issue on Mothering Sunday. I have been going to The White Heart for years and I will continue to do so. Always guaranteed good service and tasty food. Big thanks to Ian and his lovely and friendly staff. Hope to see you again soon.

The food was absolutely DELICIOUS ate two nights . Staff lazy and slow just sitting at the reception desk we didn't get offered deserts!!! Room was large but couldn't use wardrobes because they smelt of damp and the lamps on the dressing table were soooo dusty and full of cobwebs. Bed very comfortable Wallpaper peeling off the wall

Fantastic roast and the staff are really friendly. Lovely dog and family friendly pub. We popped in late Sunday afternoon with our daughter and our dog. We were pleasantly surprised they had a table, so glad they did. The food was like a proper home cooked roast and the beef and turkey were very tasty. Staff were all really friendly and the service was great. This will be our go to now for Sunday roast. Highly recommend.

Excellent all round value - great food, top notch helpful service and overall very good value - highly recommend vs nearby Cherry Tree in Stoke Row.

One of our favourite and many times visited establishments, always a courteous and caring welcome from the mainly young South African and Zimbabwean men, and occasionally from the Durban born manager. Food was always variable depending on which chef was in the kitchen, strange that the same item on the menu could be either excellent or so so depending on which was on duty. But usually good, and worth the trip. Until recently. A Christmas lunch for a dozen or so was booked, not realising that there was in fact no Christmas menu. OK that's our problem for not checking but.... Really really poor service - if you could call it that - by 3 pretty young girls, no sign of management although the bossy one of the three did have an attitude which implied she was in charge. Awful, seems that the recent takeover of another pub in Playhatch has stripped this one bare of what it used to have. Unanimous decision by all in the party - not coming back.

After many previous good lunches over several years at the White Hart, Nettlebed we were very disappointed on our last visit. The ambience was still good but standards have really dropped! Four of us arrived for a pre-booked lunch at Noon. There were very few other diners present throughout our visit. Orders were quickly taken for a hot sandwich lunch and drinks but it was 55 minutes before any food arrived and when it did the quality was poor. Bread was hard, toasted slices were burned and the fillings were cold (including hard over-cooked strips of steak). The soup was excessively salty (one person had stomach ache after eating it). Some drinks ordered were never ever brought to us and one diner (with coeliac) was served with a "gluten-free" sandwich with a filling containing gluten. The simple coffee order was mixed up and the wrong coffees were brought. All very amateurish and extremely disappointed. Prices have also increased. Sadly, we will not be returning in a hurry.

Came with a group of 8 friends. It was a Tuesday evening and they accommodated us easily enough. Good choice of food on the menu. As a starter I had the bread with oil and balsamic vinegar. Unfortunately, the balsamic used, didn’t soak up into 5he bread with the olive oil. As a main, I had the sea bass which was very good. The others in the group also seemed pleased with their main courses. Staff were both helpful and efficient. Food and drink was reasonably priced. Would happily go there again

Great food, good service and a lovely setting. Dinner at the White Hart was a pleasure - we were visiting the area and were attracted by the South African flavour and arrived without a reservation and were graciously accommodated. The dinner was excellent - a good spread of surf and turf and some great SA wines thrown in for good measure. If we are ever back in the area we will most certainly go back. Recommended.

Spent an evening with friends sitting outside. Good menu choices. Friendly service. Three of us had the fish special which was very tasty. Very nice outside decking area. Relaxed and friendly inside too.

The rack of ribs our two sons had was very tastefull, certainly recommended for those who like ribs. The misses had a Vincent Van Goat, which tasted very good and was to her standards of sufficiënt quantity, but would have left me hungry. So I was happy I chose the swordfish, because that really appeared to be an excellent choice. Desserts looked good, but we were satisfied with our main dish, so we skipped. It's a pitty they don't do the Eton Mess as a dessert anymore. I had it last year, and that was really great. To be honest: I was a little dissapointed they threw it of the menu. Great sitting, nice place, varied choise of beers. Very tidy place also, from top to bottom, and very polite and kind staff. We'll probably be back when where around next year. You can sit outside if you want, it's very nice there when the sun shines, but since there was no sun we skipped that part before having dinner.

Been to their sister restaurant in Playhatch and thought we would give this one a try....looks like the same menu. Made to feel welcome and quickly seated and order taken...Mrs H...pie of the day with chunky chips....chicken and gammon, very good; me two starters Scotch egg and calamari ....both good. Food hot and nicely presented As good as Playhatch.....spoilt for choice

Absolutely recommend The White Hart, Nettlebed. Nothing was too much trouble for this amazing team. The waitress assigned to our table was very attentive, patient and extremely friendly. Loved the way you were not rushed at all.

I stayed at The White Hart with my Mother for dinner, bed and breakfast on the recent BH weekend. The hosts, Elaine and Ian, couldn't have been more welcoming - nothing was too much trouble and the staff the same, especially Bianca who had a lovely nature. When it came to the food, we couldn't fault it - delicious and home cooked and of a good size! I would highly recommend both the restaurant and rooms and its only a shame that its not closer but that just means we will have to go and enjoy another stay!

We stayed overnight and found the staff very welcoming and nothing too much trouble. The inside of the pub/restaurant is modern and very appealing. The room stayed in was warm, cosy and well decorated - to top it all breakfast was delicious definitely would recommend and we will certainly be staying again

Very disappointing lunch costing £250 for two! The food was stodgy and tasteless. The only decent thing on the starter platter was the pate. The carvery was not fresh and the vegetables were limp. No crispy roasties! The dessert platter was pure stodge and inedible. The only decent thing was the wine. This was a very expensive mistake for a three course lunch and will not be repeated. I was tempted by previous reviews and embarrassed to bring my daughter to eat here. I would never recommend the White Hart to anyone for food.

I ate dinner at the White Hart this evening. Whilst I can't fault the decor or atmosphere - it's a perfectly nice pub - I thought the food was truly dire. I had the calamari to start, which was similar to something you'd be served from a packet in a Wetherspoons. It was dry and I'd be extremely surprised if this wasn't from a frozen packet. It was the main course though that really staggered me. This is supposedly a South African pub, and they boast "legendary steaks" on the menu. This was singularly the worst steak that I've had out in the UK. I paid nearly £40(!!) for a Ribeye "Surf and Turf" and ended up with 3 tiny frozen prawns on a skewer, rested on top of a steak that was roughly the thickness of a rasher of bacon. This steak arrived slathered in BBQ sauce, rendering the additional £3 portion of (packet) Bearnaise pointless. If you're going to brand your steaks "Legendary" on the menu (and charge DOUBLE the price of Hawksmoor in Knightsbridge, Central London (per ounce)) - you really need to back it up with something far better than this. I'm not in the habit of leaving reviews on pubs or restaurants, but I felt compelled to today. If I could give The White Hart one less star, I'm afraid I would.

When you travel over 50 miles just for Sunday Lunch you expect it to be perfect and it was just that. My choice was the traditional Carvery Lunch (Beef & Turkey) which came with a Yorkshire Pudding the size of a Brandy Glass. Others had the Lamb and a Pork Belly. Including drinks and a pudding it was under £80 for the 3 of us. Service was friendly and attentive, but not at all intrusive. Decor and atmosphere was pretty good too.

Lovely English country pub. Our room was spacious and clean. Our hosts friendly and accommodating We had drinks in the bar and in the morning a freshly cooked breakfast. Very happy with everything Only thing I would say and this is nothing about the pub...

Can't fault the meal that we had at the white hart, food was amazing. Highly recommended. Great staff aswell

Had an amazing Sunday lunch with my family, Starters, main and pudding all so lovely we couldn't fault a thing. homemade marshmallows were amazing. The service was excellent, friendly and very attentive and smiley. Definitely worth a visit

We stopped quite by chance in Nettlebed looking for somewhere to lunch and found this restaurant. The food was marvelous, we both had the soup of the day, Potato and Leek, it was smooth, creamy and piping hot and definitely tasted the part. My wife...

Had an amazing Sunday Roast at The White Hart, service was a little slow but food was amazing, the triple roast was so big with sliced Beef, Gammon and a chicken portion, all well cooked with awesome roasted potatoes and Veg, Cauliflower/Broccoli cheese was slightly undercooked and sauce was watery. Pavlova pudding was an absolute joy, superb meringue with fresh fruit and cream.

Fantastic food, great ambience and attentive helpful service at this pub restaurant in Oxfordshire. Booked this as a last minute evening meal for my family on a Saturday evening. Was very pleasantly surprised by the variety of the menu and the quality and unusual dishes available. I really would thoroughly recommend giving this place a try. Good range of beers and drinks too. Special mention to the sharing platters and the bibotie (like a South African shepherds pie sweetened with sultanas). Really good meal. Really great venue. Try it out.

Really disappointed with the service from beginning to end Still waiting for our 2nd drinks ‍♀️We were planning to have a desert but god knows how much longer that would have taken They weren’t even busy so I’d hate to go when they wereThe Sunday lunch was tasty on the positive side

Stayed for 2 nights had 2rooms both rooms clean and spacious with comfortably beds.had English breakfast yum yum we had evening meal for six people all meals excellent.all staff we met were professional and helpfull.i give this hostelry top marks in all categories.enjoy you visit.

Service and setting wonderful, food very poor.Maybe it's due to the currently limited menu or whether we ordered poorly but our party had 2 burgers, ribs and a gluten-free pizza. The pizza was really poor, the ribs were quite tough and burgers dry. It was all a bit underwhelming and would hesitate to go back.

Table booked for 8pm. Arrived 7.40 pm and told the table was not ready and would we mind waiting and that they would tell us when the table was free.Happily waited enjoying a nice pint of Birra Moretti as we were early.8.35pm still waiting so asked about the table and were told one was available.8.40pm Incorrectly told by young waiter that £10 offer did not apply to main menu.8.45pm Drinks order taken; no hint of being able to order food.9pm gave up waiting for drinks or the ability to order food.9.30pm visited alternate establishment and ordered dirty takeaway which was served in less than 10 minutes

Booked for anniversary and a bit disappointed menu not as advertised on website!!!!But the food was excellent...Hout Bay Salad and Cajun Chicken salad to start, whilst described as small portions on menu, both large in size and very tasty. Baked camembert and seafood platter as mains again both tasty and biggish portions.Nice bottle of wine, attentive and friendly staff, good value for money.Come on Henley residents get out there and eat.We wiLL try Sunday lunch next time

We ate at the White Hart, Nettlebed last night on the government's Eat Out scheme & were really impressed with the options & portion sizes for £10 per head for 3 courses (total value £20). I'd highly recommend this whilst it lasts!

The Beef Sunday Roast was exceptional, melt in the mouth beef. The staff were warm, efficient and very friendly Highly recommend

Firstly only fair to say we only used the bar and did not stay here. The bar area was fine and kept within Covid-19 hygiene regulations. The beer was fine and the host was friendly and very attentive.

Today was our first trip to a pub since the pandemic started and despite moving away in January, there was one place we wanted to go. The White Hart in Nettlebed is run by a brilliant guy who hasn’t failed to make us feel welcome on every visit over the last few years. The team there are vibrant, friendly and always upbeat. The food (we almost always go for the steak and wine selection... when something’s that good... why change its!?) is sensational and reasonably priced. Regardless of the distance from our new house, we will endeavour to go back. It’s awesome. Guys keep doing what you’re doing. We love it!

Lovely food, great service. We popped in as only local pub open for dinner. We weren’t disappointed. Lovely food. Thank you.

Popped in for lunch on a weekday as The Field Kitchen car park was full! Very glad we did. Had a very generous smoked salmon and prawn salad which was delicious. Will definitely return to try something else soon!Great car park too. Nice ambience and pleasant service.

Our son and his partner brought us to The White Hart on Sunday. What a lovely place, beautiful restaurant, very polite and attentive staff and the food was outstanding with generous portions, attractively served. We all loved it.

Great Sunday roast with our daughter and mother in law. We all had different meals, all we cooked beautifully. My roast was amazing, I chose the lamb and beef, the stuffing and pigs in blankets were a great extra. Puddings were all very nice too. Service fab!

Second visit here today for lunch with friends and found it just as enjoyable as our first visit.Good menu with some slightly different dishes which is nice, like Bobotie which is delicious. Service is very good and there is a nice country pub feel about the place which we like.Prices are reasonable and made even better by the fact they accept a Tastecard which makes it superb unbeatable value. We will certainly be coming back. Well worth a try if you are in the area.

A quick lunch stop: excellent soup. It's more hotel/restaurant than pub, but the beer was fine and the wine list looked inviting. My wife felt she'd be happy to drop in, and indeed there appeared to be a presence at the small bar with its comfy armchairs. So, not really a typical village pub - a cut above that, for good or ill, and a focus on space for rather good dining.

Called in on the off chance on a Sunday, late afternoon. So glad we did! We were given a warm welcome into a lovely atmospheric dining area. Good selection on the menu but the aroma from the lamb on the carvery made our decision for us. We were given a choice of:turkey, beef, pork, lamb, gammon... Both myself and my husband chose rare lamb and beef which was a very generous portion. The choice of vegetables was great and all cooked to perfection.. Never had such a choice in a carvery. The only thing I would suggest is put a lid on the gravy, as it could have been warmer! Service was very good and whilst I wouldve loved a dessert I just could not manage one. My husband although, enjoyed his carrot cake cheesecake.. Just felt it could've been a slightly larger portion. Overall a great dining experience and one I will recommend to friends. We will definitely be back.. If only for me to sample the interesting cheeseboard and range of puds!

My partner and I were driving around wondering where to go for my dinner birthday as I was told about another place but we couldn't find it. We came across the white hart by chance and decided to stop. Well I was really excited as I am ex south african and didnt even realize this was run by a south african man. I noticed first off with the dishes boerwors sausage and further down the menu saw hot bay fish. I was well at home and the waiter who served us was really friendly and helpful. Even got a free rose wine when he learnt it was my birthday and further gave a complimentary dessert too. So I am defiantly going to be returning as felt right at home for my special day. Food was outstanding. Keep up the good work and service. Will be back.

Most enjoyable lunch. Visited with friends for lunch today and we all really enjoyed it.Excellent service and a great menu. I loved the Bobotie, I’ve had nothing like that anywhere else so I will definitely be coming back to have that again. Highly recommend a visit if you are in the area.

Popped in for lunch. Fisherman’s deli platter a big disappointment and chips undercooked. The bobotie was interesting but I was expecting some spice. Beer OK and service friendly. Not the greatest lunch but inexpensive.

Quaint, cozy, clean decor. Friendly staff, tastiest ribs and best bobotie ever! True South African cooking skills! I highly recommend the South African sharer dish.

My friend and I visited for a late lunch last Wednesday after a mountain bike ride around the area. The salads were excellent - mine had perfectly sweet watermelon & fennel - and the vegan burger for mains was delicious along with perfect chunky chips! Both the South African owner and the waiter were very welcoming & friendly and made our lunch an excellent experience. Would highly recommend and can’t wait to return.

Nice looking restaurant and friendly staff.

A friendly Brakspear pub with amazing food! My main meal which was a pork belly with new potatoes, charred apple, green beans, carrots and a spinach and butternut purée was absolutely divine! My main dessert which was a chocolate and walnut brownie with a coconut puff and pistachio ice cream was absolutely flavourful! The bar staff were totally friendly and welcoming and the service was spot on! I will definitely return to this pub again!

This is a restaurant I have driven past many times but today I took a daughter to have lunch there for the first time. We were very pleased with our visit. The food is excellent and the waiting staff very understanding about allergies. Waiting time between ordering and arrival of the first course was very reasonable, no more than twenty-five minutes and, above all, the prices are very reasonable.

Walkers particularly enjoyed the South African dishes, Fish and Chips, and the combo toasted sandwiches (which came with an excellent soup of the day or chips).

Stayed for 1 night midweek in June. Room was a good size double. Tea/coffee facility & biscuits. Shower gel & shampoo supplied.

Third time we have visited but the meal was poor for the price . We sent one meal back as it was cold . Service was poor , our wine was was not ordered and one quest meal not ordered at all . We will not be back .

It is years since we last visited, and it has moved from high end dining to good bistro pub. The dining room is smart and not at all crowded. We started with a trio of nibbles - piping hot whitebait and bobotie Bon Bon were the stars. Mains included a huge file of ribs, a decent burger and pork tender loin with a black pudding croquette. A minor niggle was that everything was slightly over cooked, but better this than the opposite. Modest wine list with affordable options; friendly service. Three vegetarian options and plenty of fish dishes.

The food menu had some interesting options. Was tempted by the Swordfish steak but got swayed by the Bobotie which was very enjoyable - however I felt the presentation of this dish could be improved.

Early evening meal with my son, we had calamari, very well cooked and tasty but small portions for £8 each, side salad was wilted and dry. We had 8oz fillet steak med rare, perfectly cooked, chips were lovely, side order of steak sauce was like double cream with infused garlic so a bit bland as was my sons blue cheese sauce @ £30 each. Luckily I used my gourmet card which reduced the meal to half price. Only reason for 3* not 5 was not value for money if paying full price. Staff were very polite and attentive.

Stayed for dbb Valentine's night . Gorgeous room, lovely pub/restaurant done out very cosy and welcoming . Staff were friendly and helpful and outstanding food, the best calamari we've ever had , all the courses were amazing . Really surprised this place wasn't full. Definitely recommend.

We went for lunch today, a convenient midway point amongst a group of friends. The bar area is pleasant, and the staff were very friendly. Four of us each had a ‘sharing platter’. Lovely food and copious portions. The menu was varied, with a decided South African influence. We’ll be back!

This is just a review of the pub, not food, restaurant or hotel.

We had a family reunion in Nettlebed, and as most of the family were from a fair distance out of town quite a few stayed at the hotel. So 20 or so of us got together for dinner after the reunion. Food was very good, but the portions were huge, and service was relatively quick for a table of 20. I would eat thre again if I was in the area, but I might share my meal with someone else.

I have to say I was very disappointed with my asparagus risotto. The rice used didn’t seem like arborio rice and it was much like a mushy savoury rice pudding. I barely ate anything and had I been asked how my meal was, I would have told the member of staff but they simply ignored the fact they cleared virtually a full plate of food. Very average

Booked for a quiet weekend away with my parents to celebrate birthdays and was not disappointed with this charming hotel,! Check in was welcoming and friendly and we were escorted to our beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean rooms which were fully equipped with all necessary amenities. Comfy beds, luxury linens and boutique feel shower room all added to the experience. As part of the secret escapes deal we had booked a 3 course dinner was included in the price and we were amazed when informed we could choose anything from the full menu with only steaks incurring a supplement. The food was delicious with plenty of choice over our two night stay and the service was prompt and pleasant from all staff. After a comfortable nights sleep and with stomachs still bulging from the previous night we ventured down to breakfast and were presented with a varied choice of cereals, yoghurt and fruit followed by toast and a full cooked breakfast which was divine and plenty to keep us full all day ! All in all a great value for money stay which was thoroughly enjoyed by all ! There are two minor points I must mention for this to be a true reflection of this great hotel and that is its position on a fairly major road where traffic and road noise commenced quite early ( there are rooms at the back ) and the rather temperamental coffee machine which produced lukewarm tea and coffee during breakfast , neither of which would prevent us returning to this good find !!

Staying here for two nights allowed me to dine here and I was delighted to find well-cooked, well-presented, meals.

We called in here without booking & it was busy but we managed to get a table for the 4 adults & 5 yr old.

We booked for quiet weekend away staff very friendly and very helpful. Quiet location food excellent and room very clean and tidy. Would recommend and will be staying there again .

Nice decor throughout, clean and quiet during the day. Food was good for the children. Staff are very polite and the public has very nice views.

Absolutely disgusted by the service and management's attitude to keeping a party of nine (including four hungry children) waiting two hours to be served! We had two jugs of water brought to the table after 40 minutes - no glasses, just water. Then, after an hour's wait the drinks arrived with glasses for the water but still no food until two hours had passed. Bear in mind this was on a Monday, not known to be the busiest night of the week...

Beautiful Cotswold stone building in the High Street serving excellent food and well kept ales. A bit formal but that's normal for this part of the world. Worth a visit.

The restaurant was very busy that night when we were there and the food were good and many to choose from.

We stayed in January this year and pointed out the loose tap and broken plug in the bathrooom. We were given the same room again on this visit. The tap was still leaking and difficult to turn off and the plug so tight it could not be used. There was no mattress protector between the mattress and sheet at either of our stays. This, too, was pointed out at each of our stays. The staff were very pleasant and friendly and the food of good quality. However, we found the lack of maintenance and shabbiness made our stay disappointing. We are unlikely to return.

We were staying here and decided to eat in their restaurant. Good choice on the menu and beautifully cooked.

Wow. The place is amazing. Because of my birthday they put us in a suite and omg it’s so clean and amazing with bath in the bedroom. The food I can honestly say, the steaks are the best I have ever tasted. The staff are so very polite and helpful. Will definitely recommend and will definitely be coming back. 5star plus!!

We managed to get a great deal for this hotel on Secret Escapes for £130.00 which covered our one night stay, three course meal and breakfast.

Ten sat to eat and ate well with a South African twist to some of the food. Be aware the meat platter for two as a starter is an amazing amount of food and for me didn't need anything else. Lovely drinks selection as well. Including cask beer. We were very well fed both nights and the following breakfasts were individually selected, hot and tasty.

We visited at lunch time when it was very quiet. There is a good choice of food and helpings are generous. The staff are friendly and helpful and they even lit a log fire for us as it was a very cold day. Parking seems a little restricted but we found a space as it was so quiet.

We stayed at the hotel as part of a Secret Escapes deal and had evening meal and breakfast at the hotel. Excellent food and service and good value for money.

We had a very enjoyable night at the White Hart on Sunday the 25th February! The food and wine was excellent and the staff were really friendly! A lovely room too 👍😀

Booked through Secret Escapes - good price so didn't expect a lot. Pleasantly surprised - very nice hotel, clean room,roll top bath, shower ensuite, big comfy bed, lovely restaurant - ate on Saturday evening and enjoyed full English on the Sunday morning - all very freshly made and appetising. 10 minutes drive into Henley on Thames, quaint riverside town with plenty of bars and cafes. Enough shops to browse around. If we're inthat area again would definitely stay at The White Hart again.

Great food in a friendly, pleasing atmosphere with a feel of modern. The restaurant was bright and airy, with enough sparkling glassware on the table as if you are having a state banquet which is juxtaposed cow hide chairs. The service was attentive and friendly. The food was highly enjoyable and of a good portion. The n=menu was extensive catering for most varied tastes. Well worth a visit.

Stayed at the White Hart with my sister over a weekend. The pub and restaurant are lovely and the staff friendly. We had booked a twin room, and were told there is only one, which seems strange in this day and age. Our room was on the ground floor in the annex and was lovely and quiet but very dark. The bathroom looked lovely until you went to use the shower. Head far too small for the cubicle, no pressure and took ages for the water to heat up. Interesting to read other reviews of rooms which mentioned roll top baths, sofas and chairs. Our room had none of these, only a stool to sit on other than the beds. The sole twin room does seem to be a bit of a poor relation considering it is the same price as others.

We stayed with a dinner,bed and breakfast deal from Secret Escapes which is amazing value for money. Able to select from the main menu with only a small surcharge for fillet steak. The food was excellent with very generous portions. Rooms are very comfortable with tasteful decorations in keeping with the style of the pub. My only criticism is the lack of decent lighting in the room to put makeup on or in the bathroom to shave etc. However this wouldn’t stop me from staying again or recommending to friends.

What can I say, the food was great, service attentive but not intrusive, atmosphere nice - not too quiet or too loud. We all enjoyed this restaurant once again and will choose it again soon.

See my previous comments still the same service and value for money. Also Very good beer which as someone from ' Gods County ' is praise in deed. My eights visit. !!

We received a warm welcome and were up graded free of charge as I prefer a bath as I suffer from a degenerate spine . The rooms were well appointed with a settee and two chairs a large comfy bed a separate loo and shower room and a roll top bath in the bedroom. The two evening meals were excellent succulent steak on night one and tasty fish on the second night. Breakfasts were equally good with fried eggs cooked exactly as we wanted-a rarity . Staff were friendly, chatty and helpful. I would definitely recommend the White Hart and would happily return.

Booker this same Inn with South African themed restaurant via Secret Escapes on a half board basis and wasn't disappointed so rebooked for another stay before departing. The package that we chose included dinner and breakfast and both were excellent. Rooms were variable; refurbished in the main inn building but the superior rooms were in the newer annex at the back away from the road which were stylish and quieter.

Stopped by for mid week lunch , nice atmosphere, friendly staff, plenty of off street parking .

As a booked table of three , two of us arrived first and was shown our table. we were offered an alcoholic drink but agreed on just water whilst we waited for out friend to arrive. Once all three of us were there we noticed there seemed to be something wrong with the two members of staff . One had taken our drinks order for the other to come over and ask if we had made up our minds completely unaware we had already ordered ? . The meal it self was quite nice we all went for the fish and chips. The fish itself was nice with no bones. Then came a problem of trying to leave. ... we had not seen the staff for a while ( there was two tables with parties of 3/4 and one other table with one person on ) we asked if we could have the bill.......... a while later , we asked again............ some time later our bill arrived but then we were sat waiting an age to pay, after a very long wait we decided we would pay at the bar as we really wanted to leave , one of the bar staff appeared and and finally took payment from us.......... whilst the meal itself was nice and the restaurant clean we felt the bar staff were having issues with each other as there were not communicating rather just walking past the other and that made for an uncomfortable time .

good food, for reasonble prices, some dishes south african inspired, beacause the owner is from south africa

Really pleased with our secret escapes weekend. Room Staff food and area is so nice. There are some woods close to the White Hart to walk your dogs! I recommend this place 100%! Henley on Thames is a must to see beautiful flowers and walks for dog lovers!

We booked for a Thursday evening online, arrived early for our table, so opted for a drink in the bar first. The time of our table came and went and we presented ourselves (for the second time) to the restaurant staff.We had been put on a table right at the back around a corner with very little atmosphere so asked to sit in the main dining area (where there was plenty of space) which was fine. We ordered our food (some things were not available so we had to re-think our choices sadly), and a bottle of wine and some table water. The food arrived pretty promptly, but the wine and water were no-where to be seen. We asked another member of staff who said it was on the way. I was trying to save my delicious starter because I had wanted to have some wine with it. Some time later one of the staff came back to clarify which wine we wanted. Yet more time later, the other waitress brought the wine, but advised that it wasn't cold so she could put it in a very cold fridge for us, or bring us some ice. It was a £35 bottle of wine so we politely declined (having felt the bottle, I don't think it had been anywhere near a fridge for a while!). We ordered a different bottle of wine, which again took some time to arrive - still no water! Needless to say, the starter was finished well before the wine eventually arrived. The main course arrived and was delicious and we finally got our table water. We opted out of dessert/coffee (it was getting quite late now!). It was such a shame because the food was wonderful and I would definitely recommend it, but the service was so lacking. Everything seemed to take a long time to come and it felt like everything was a real effort. The restaurant wasn't particularly busy and there appeared to be adequate staff numbers, but lacking in efficiency and attention to customer needs.
