The White Hart in West Dorset - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Lovely friendly pub staff very helpful

Friendly local with good drinks selection. Great outdoor seating area at rear

Lovely way to spend our anniversary, the landlady and staff were all very friendly, food very tasty and served hot ,this a what all pubs should be like a good village pub with a great community spirit ,we would highly recommend this pub and will visit again when in the area.

Lovely time but there were a few rats running around the beer garden

Landlady and staff excellent food outstanding

A great pub whether you're a local or a visitor. Dog and child friendly.

Dropped in for a drink nice friendly pub

We came here for food. Staff friendly and welcoming. We sat and didn't realise woman near us was Landlady as didn't say hello. We both ordered pie and chips. The landlady got up and put just pair blue gloves on, no apron and cooked food which sounded as if being done in microwave and speed came out. Very few meal options. We saw staff and landlady stroke pub dog and didn't wash hands, landlady picked up bone dog was chewing took in kitchen and filled with something and come back out. There wasn't really an atmosphere. We wouldn't use again and think personal opinion.

Really enjoyed coming into this traditional country pub with a lovely meal and a friendly atmosphere.

Popped in for a drink with friends, sat at a table and nothing mentioned about a quiz night going on , just started on 2nd round of drinks to be told the table would be needed in half an hour for a quiz team , why wasn't this mentioned on our arrival ! ? , felt rushed to vacate & drink our overpriced drinks , unless your a local I wouldn't bother .

What ever you do don't go on a quiz night .purchased overpriced drink then we were informed you have 20 minutes to drink up and remove your self from your table for the quiz teams which was fair enough but was not told this when purchasing over priced drink.go to the nearby rose and crown pub bradford abbas a lot cheaper and better atmosphere.

It was a bit like a buger van outside, kitchen is being refurbished. Very nice food and atmosphere. It's out local pub so is easy accessible considering I am disabled.

Great rural pub, so many now gone keep using it people

Excellent food, atmosphere & staff. Really enjoyed our meal, lots of choice both in food & drinks. Highly recommended!

Wouldn't recommend this place.Found landlady very rude and unwelcoming. Staff looked miserable and not even a hello or good afternoon from any of them when we entered. Called in on the off chance to have a Sunday lunch as local to us. Chef and bar staff said it wasn't a problem so we bought drinks at sat down. Then heard the landlady having a go at the chef. The chef then came out to us and said sorry we have not enough food to give you!....not even the offer of anything except drinks though the place was practically empty near 1pm. I would recommend the Sun Inn near Charminster Dorchester. We drove straight there, got a warm welcome and excellent carvery straight away though the place was very busy.

Enjoyed a very nice burger and chips there on Saturday. Not the cheapest, but you get what you pay for and it was a cut above ones I have had elsewhwere! The pub were helpful in accommodating our needs for a large lunch with people coming and going at different times

Didn't stay long. Don't advertise food. Have the food time on the doors and windows and then not have a chef in.

Great village pub, lovely atmosphere, great food and very friendly. Would recommend.

Great village pub. Classic pub feel, lovely atmosphere and great food. Really enjoyed the meal and good selection of drinks. Would recommend.

Lovely pub lots of staff very friendly food was great when we are down there again will definitely go back.

Nice enough pub, beers okay, food is nice, fish and chips is huge! Fine if you're local, certainly worth a visit though if you're passing by. In summary give it a go!

Beautiful people, beautiful location, fabulous food. If you’re free this summer the White Hart in Yetminster is a must.

Pretentious menu, vegetarian options limited: 2 available one of which was"pie" which was "bought in" so did not know if it was meat substitute, tofu, etc.

Rudely turned away despite arriving 45 minutes before closing and 10 minutes before last orders. Can understand if declining to serve us had been done politely but unfortunately, this was not the case.

We had a great Sunday lunch there it was very nice indeed The veg was a bit scarce had to ask for some more as only very small pot for 4 people But the staff were great helping with needs Thank you all

Loved the interior and the atmosphere of the food. Steak and sauce was delicious and hot. Glad we stumbled across this pub :)

During the Easter holidays, my friend and I were exploring the villages around Sherborne and ended up in Yetminster where we stopped at the White Hart for lunch. The atmosphere was so cosy and friendly, that it made us fell like home (while far away from home). While the pub was quite busy at the time, the service was and the food excellent. I ordered the burger (super succulent) and my friend the pie of the day. A nice place with a "real pub" feeling and smiley staff. Highly recommended!

Very friendly and welcoming to both me and my dog 😊

Me and my wife visited early evening for a meal, pub was busy with lot of locals having a drink which is good. My meal was pie of the day with mash and veg, but a very poor meal, mash was out of a packet not very pleasant at all, some steamed cabbage and few slices of carrot with some very thin gravy. My wife was unimpressed with her meal as well. Generally hygiene needs attention, a dog sat on a bar stool sniffing around the counter and a member of staff stroking a dog and then serving at the bar is not good practice in my opinion.

Great local pub. Very friendly and helpful staff. Great food with very good portions. Dog and child friendly.

Wonderful village pub , lovely people

Good atmosphere. Friendly staff and busy on Friday evenings.

I stayed in Yetminster as a base while I attended my uncle's funeral. Overall, everything was good, beer,food and hospitality. If I am in the area again I would definitely return.

Visited for "Pie Night", and can thoroughly recommend a visit. Nice atmosphere, and friendly bar staff.

Only had a pint, very friendly, seemed busy with diners.

Once again becoming a great pub as it was in the past.

Lovely old school pub. Decent drinks selection, tasty food with good portion size. Very friendly staff who made us welcome

Very good I play For Sherborne Town band we did a carol night on there great atmosphere.

16 of us dined at The White Hart and had an excellent evening. Festive tables, delicious food (best roast potatoes I have ever had) and warm and efficient service. We had all pre-ordered and everything arrived without fuss even though few choices were the same! A really good evening so many thanks to all concerned.

Great friendly welcome. Brilliant atmosphere.

Now the new chef is in place the Sunday lunch was excellent, and the blackcurrant brulee was superb. Beer is also good, plenty of choice, and very welcoming staff.

We’ve had Sunday lunch here and a meal during the week, both were hot, well cooked and very good value for money. Service efficient and friendly. Small country pubs like this need support to ensure they are there for the future.

Great service 5 star.well done first class.

Really lovely place to eat or drink. Chef recently appointed, beer well kept service excellent..

Since the pub has been taken over by new management it has come a long way! Super friendly staff who are really welcoming to families & even dogs. The food is amazing, it’s always served piping hot and the Sunday roast is amazing value for money. Definitely made it a lovely local village pub again. The girls behind the bar are just wonderful! We drive in from the town to visit because it simply worth it!

Popped in for a spot of lunch and could have stayed longer. The food and service here is great, proper country pub feel, beer, ciders, dog and great food. What more could you ask for.

Visited this pub partner ordered their dirty fries which contained chills and meat as I am vegatarian I just had plain chip half way through eating them the lady that runs the pub came over to ask if all was well which it was until she asked why I did not have the dirty fries as well when I told her I did not eat meat she said what a shame as the meat in the fries tasted lovely. What a stupid thing to say she should have kept her stupid apinion to her self

A simply fantastic village pub. Wonderful friendly management who are always cheerful and spoilt my little girl when we had a family lunch as well as on another occasion offering free prosecco to my mother who's birthday it was. Super dog friendly, great food and wonderful surrounds. Nothing but a lovely time when ever we visit.

Lovely atmosphere Lovely company And great Pizza

Friendly staff. We had a great time for lunch. Ales were clear, wine was tasty and the food was really well done. My pie has delicious filling and tasty pastry and everyone cleaned their plates.

Great little country pub in nice village, friendly, beer garden.

If I could give no stars I would. I was thrown out for walking with a stick. (Discrimination) accused of being drunk when I don't drink because of my illness. I have never been so insulted

We visited on the weekend of a friend’s wedding in the village. The pub was bright and welcoming and buzzing with the chat of the regulars. We’d been told by locals to get our food order in early but one drink led to a second and… you can guess what happened. We went outside to order our pizza and it had proved very popular! We went back in and asked where we might get something to eat but were told most places were shut now. We must have looked desperate as the landlady emerged with two packs of sandwiches and some cakes she’d bought for her staff. Exceptional service which saved the day. Highly recommended.

A lovely chilled pub with some really good food. Great to have somewhere so good so close.

Great customer service, a bit disappointed with not served the rewuired salmon meal but the service offered was very palatable

Lovely people, very welcoming and helpful. Superb Chocolate Brownie and Ice Cream

We decided to drop in for an impromptu lunch and weren’t disappointed- both had the house burger which was very good served with crunchy chips and perfect fried onion rings. Very reasonably priced and would definitely recommend. Friendly landlord and the barmaid was absolutely charming, a real asset to the pub

Lovely Pub, friendly staff, awesome beers, shame I couldn't have had more as I had my daughters wedding on the Saturday. pizza was amazing (Fri evening) Ideal location for me, as was staying at the Folly Farm B&B 10 min walk away

My friend Doone and I took pot luck with the White Hart, as we heard that it was under new management. It was everything that a wonderful country pub should be. Very friendly and cheerful customers, equally friendly, cheerful and helpful staff, and a magnificent (and well priced) Sunday lunch. Triumphant yorkshires! Fantastic atmosphere, and I can't wait to go back. Warmly recommend this delightful palce.

Great service, great selection of drinks. Relaxed and in a lovely location

Bad place. :( PLEASE AVOID !! MY partner was told she was too drunk , tho , she doesn't drink often and she has walking issues. And thought she was drunk!

Lovely pub under the new ownership

Tucked away in a lovely little village and off the main travel routes, but worth the detour. Friendly staff and plenty of choice on tap. Other half had a lovely Veggy Pie option for Sunday lunch. I had the Pork which was well cooked, but...

Nice. Friendly. Good Bar staff. Loads of parking too round the back.

Lovely village pub, friendly staff and locals, nice rear garden and parking a must.

Highly recommend this place. The new owners are lovely, great selection of local ales, real traditional country pub, love it!

Traditional pub.. lovely warm welcome. Would recommend.

Amazing place ! Great service !

What an incredible gem of a place! If you are looking for a quintessential Pub, within a true village look no further. We have not had a chance of any holiday for now nearly two years, having spent two nights in this amazing pub ,...

A good idea to ignore the poor reviews as we very much enjoyed our visit. We use to visit the friends in the area many years ago so whilst travelling to Cornwall this was a trip down memory lane The pub is a great example...

1 star here (only because I cannot submit my review with no stars I must add), in fact, can I give minus stars I wonder??. The food my friend and I were served there today was nothing short of insulting. We chose the "Texas" burger...

Small village pub friendly service. Courtyard at the rear.

Just bought a house in this charming village. Dropped into the pub fir some lunch. Was given a great friendly welcome by the staff. The service and food were excellent. Can highly recommend. Will be coming here on a regular basis

The White Hart PH is an idyllic, quaint and classicly english countryside hostelry. With hosts experienced in their trade, welcoming and approachable in their manner, you're made to feel completely at home and at ease. We would have no hesitation in going back in future or recommending others to make a reservation.

Great food in a lovely pub in a beautiful village setting

Must be a top Dorset pub for it's beer because the food is definitely not up to much. Hard potatoes, soggy carrots and stringy beans. Would not recommend.

Great food and best kept beer in the county

Good covid procedures and friendly staff

This is a really welcoming pub. The staff are super friendly - the chef popped out of the kitchen to check exactly what we'd like with a cheese sandwich I'd just ordered for my daughter. Lovely guy, great sandwich! The chunky chips were incredibly tasty. I had the vegan burger with sweet potato fried and that was great. I'd have given it 5 stars if there was more than one vegan option or any non-alcoholic beers - apparently there were 2% ABV option but kind of needs to be 0.5% to count as a non-alcoholic. Still, lovely place!

Loveley helpful staff drinks were the tops thankyou

Great atmosphere, smashing landlord, lovely old thatched pub. What more could you want!

Stayed. In the. Brew house. Apartment. Very spacious. Nice.homely.feel.

Lovely place , Sunday lunch good , very friendly, will will be back , pudding lemon drizzle cake 🍰 yum 😋

My wife and I were staying up the road and wondered into the village for a couple of drinks and a bit of food. The drink selection was great, with some really nice local ales on tap which I was allowed to try before buying....

Fabulous food and great service

Great atmosphere, fantastic food, brilliant hosts, had a lovely afternoon 🙂

Stayed here recently in the brewhouse apartment, very welcoming, cosy place to stay. Had essentials, tea, coffee etc provided which was a nice touch. The only thing we thought could be improved is the housekeeping. Lots of dust and cobwebs, and the bathroom could do with a good clean.

Excellent takeaway Fish & Chips on Tuesday also a Great pint of 200 & lunchtime meal today 20th Nov.

Lovely pub, warm atmosphere and really friendly staff

We stopped for lunch at this charming pub in Yetminster. Very friendly service and a good menu with good choices. On recommendation from the staff, I had some of the best faggots that I have ever had and my wife had one of their massive...

Fab turnaround over the past couple of years. Solid pub grub, nice beers, great staff, lovely fire in winter.

I ordered a Thai chicken curry with rice for £14 and the actual meal that turned up was nothing like what was advertised. A plate of dry rice with massive chunks of chicken and sweet potato with no sauce and no flavour! Nothing like a...

Great country pub great food,my sisters local,lucky lady

Four of us enjoyed a good meal, freshly cooked, generous portions and friendly service. Interesting wine list with wines chosen by customers at a blind tasting. It was a Monday evening, but there were still quite a few customers including the skittle playing guys.

Great time with friends, the staff were lovely, nothing too much trouble.
