The White Hart Inn in New Forest

Great Sunday roast,recommend the White Hart platter as well.

Had drinks and food, excellent Service from Ollie and Finn

Popped in whilst passing and flying solo. Had a nice pint at a good temperature and a reasonable price, served in a dimpled handle. I enjoyed my chat with Alice, who a little shy, soon warmed to our conversation and is a good ambassador for the pub. Thank you, hopefully to return soon.

We went to The White Hart as a preflight stopover meal. Up on entering, it was a nice looking place with lots of interesting looking décor. I ordered a mixed grill and my wife had a steak. The steak was cooked to perfection, it was tender and very flavoursome. The mixed grill was also excellent and both meals were filling. I was also extremely happy with the service we received which was prompt. As like most children, mine are a little picky but they enjoyed their meals and cleaned up their plates. Overall, I’d recommend the place and if we’re in the area again, we will undoubtedly visit it again. Finally, the meals are very good value for money!

Nice atmosphere, nice food, always a pleasure to go there to eat and drink 😊

me (17 years old) and my sister (18 years old) went to the white heart in poulner to watch the england euros game and we found a seat and sat outside and we hadn’t ordered drinks yet since the bar was full and two minutes later one of the staff came out and asked for ID which my sister provided and since i’m 17 i was only going to order a coke and didn’t have ID. the staff member then left and another came out and proceeded to shout at us harshly and kick us out and gave no explanation to why. i do not recommend coming to this pub!!

Best customer service. Very neat and clean the restaurant . They are very happy to assist you and make me feel very relaxed. I am very regular now every weekend on work trip ringwood .

Good Country style pub, does have nice pub garden out the back with under cover seating. Has a dart board and pool table around one side. The other side is quieter for more of a family atmosphere. Sunday roast food potions are large. Made to fill very welcome.

Much better than it looks from outside

So pleased to eat in the lower room, which has so much atmosphere. Whoever decided to move the pool table needs a medal!! This has created two separate areas, which keeps everyone happy, whilst utilising this historic building to encourage walk ins. Well done the management 👏

Came in to see a friend and watch a musician play- amazing really loved it there. Musician was great, drinks were good- I love my wine and they don’t disappoint!

I so wish I would... But I won't. A leading reason England is doomed. Echo echo: 'Lima Papa'. SQ-1 >>>>

A great local, friendly, traditional free house (owned and run by the landlords) a regular place for a Sunday roast for me. And drinks and snacks in the week too. Lots of covered and uncovered seating in the garden. Dog friendly. Excellent.

Beer selection is not that great and omg they have a stable door that is SO squeaky it's all I remember about the pub.

Had a lovely roast, often pop down as close by. Staff always friendly and accommodating. Food is always good and plentiful. We love it here.

I had a delicious steak. The atmosphere is wonderful... like stepping back in history. Highly recommend.

I honestly cannot remember when I last had a better, tastier lasagne. My husband loved the chilli. Fabulous.

A first time for me and enjoyed it nice outside space with football and rugby, what's not to like

We booked in for a family meal, staff were very welcoming and helpful, we ordered our meals and although we all ordered different meals one of which was gluten free they arrived reasonably quickly and cooked to perfection.We stayed for a few drinks after our meal and and enjoyed a game of pool, Car parking wasn't an issue as there is a large car park at the rear of the building and I understand there are rooms to be rented out so we are looking to book a weekend break in the near future, as an added bonus the Original White Hart is dog friendly so we will be able to bring our doggies the next time we are in the area, would definitely recommend people pop in and check out this lovely old building.

We ended up here when the traffic jammed on the nearby A31. After great coffee, great ham rolls, and some refreshing Diet Coke, we went on our way Thanks for the great welcome.

Lovely roast beef and chicken + pigs in blanket baguettes. Great way to end a Sunday, and a great idea to serve with a lot of gravy to dunk it in. We’ll be back for sure.

Great pub nice food great service. Plus 2 lovely dogs

Great food. Lovely beer garden. And lovely staff. Thanks will be back.

Lovely warm welcome and home cooked foods . Roast was delicious loved the variety of vegetables and homemade Yorkshire. Big portions. Puddings are worth it so delicious.

Stopped for Sunday lunch. Lovely traditional roasts & excellent service. Would recommend.

Really nice, friendly local pub.

Great value Sunday roast,good beer nice friendly service .definitely worth a visit

Great little pub. Sunday roast was huge and great value for money and very yummy. Quick and friendly service .. definitely going back ..

Had a family Sunday lunch at this lovely pub. The staff were patient and friendly. The food was faultless. Definitely one to return to.

Friendly local serving a good pint of Ringwood Best with a warming log fire in the lounge bar. Pool, darts and sport on TV in the public bar.

Pub was fine as normal, the Doombar wasn't up to normal standard in my opinion

Top pub lovely outdoor space covered and heated well kept ales and beers good food and safe parking

Lovely old pub, big garden, no kids play area, bbq was good and very reasonable price, friendly staff

Lovely proper pub. Beers lovely, nice garden and seating area too

Stopped by for bike meet. Blackcurrant cordial looked watered down before it even got into glass. Asked for vegetarian option at bar for BBQ. Was told nothing available, so I asked if they had anything else vegetarian on a different menu. Again told no, and was told only snacks available (crisps, nuts). Yet just as we were leaving, I saw a vegetable tart being taken out of the kitchen for a different customer. Extremely disappointed to be left without any food. I don't know if it's because it's a listed building or not, but there is zero disabled access here. Main door to bar too narrow with second door right in the way, large chairs right by the door and in the way of getting around to the bar and other areas. Narrow door/hallway to toilets and garden. Steps into toilets.

Having tried a lot of overpriced and underwhelming Sunday roasts in New Forest pubs we decided to try the White Hart Inn after a friend recommended it. A great selection of meats available, very reasonably priced and absolutely amazing to eat!!! We will be back very soon!

Loved the visit here, nice choice of beers largers and then the food! Gorgeous sandwiches chips and gammon, we all Loved the food. Back garden is set out very nicely with new wooden tables.

Impromptu visit for Sunday lunch. Excellent with well cooked variety of Veg. I had vege option which was a tart. It was really good. My partner had roast beef and assured me it was excellent. Wine was very reasonable and good quality. Lovely well kept pub garden. Highly recommended.

Staff were nice, Food was lacking My partner had The Nachos They were not at all good Missing the sour cream and cheese ,no jalapeño and the guacamole was runny The chilli beef however was not bad. 3/10 I had the fish and chips The chips were greasy, no crispness ,no taste....obviously not homemade cooked from frozen The fish in batter again obviously pre cooked and fried frozen No taste the batter was awful. Sorry but definitely not going to go in there again. And We live down here

We live just down the road from the White Hart, so walk down with our kids and the dog for a drink occasionally. The staff are welcoming, good range of drinks and snacks and a great, informal atmosphere.

Amazing pub with great ambiance. Great selection of beers and the garden is recently refurbished and is a great area for sunny beer garden drinks.

Best Sunday dinner brilliant staff

Proper friendly local pub. Couple of good ciders on; ace pork scratchings and friendly Landlord (Geoff with a G!)

Voltando do litoral no domingo, depois de visitar algumas praias e monumentos no Sudoeste de Uk paramos na Cidade de Ringwood e este Pub nos agraciou com uma comida bem apetitosa, comemos o Sunday Rost - Rost Lamb, pedimos o médio (every day)e os pratos vieram enormes, rsrs, imaginamos como seria o Big. Veio muita carne de Cordeiro, com batata e legumes deliciosos, no ponto, pão em formato de cogumelo(não lembro o nome, mas é bem famoso em UK). Local familiar bem aconchegante, no ambiente ao lado ficava a sala com mesa de bilhar e TV que passava o jogo do Everton 1 X 0 Chelsea, gol marcado pelo brasileiro Richarlison que pra comemorar jogou um sinalizados que foi arremessado no campo para a arquibancada, está sob investigação e poderá destacar o time no prossigo jogo.(ficou empolgado de mais, mas foi um belo gol) O bar era servido por uma garota com muita maestria, interessante que ele dava acesso às duas salas, mas como há uma lareira entre elas vc não verá a outra sala e vice-versa, poderá efetuar a refeição com muita tranquilidade.

Brilliant roast dinner for Sunday lunch, dog friendly pub and everyone was great, staff and other pub goers were very friendly great atmosphere

This is a great pub. They have a very nice outdoors area and inside there is also multiple tvs and a pool table.

Great food, lovely staff, excellent place.

Nice small village pub with friendly hospitable staff

It's October 2021 and yet you are still insisting on table service? I would have received a warmer welcome at the North Pole than by the blonde bar lady whom clearly either wanted to be somewhere else, was having a bad day or PMT? Manners cost nothing! What a real asset to the business she must be! In this day and age particularly in the hospitality industry can you afford to be so flippant towards your customers? The beer was also on the turn and full of sediment. It's a shame but judging by other reviews on here you seriously need to get your house in order or go under. Staff training perhaps in customer relations? Constructive criticism so heed, take on board and move forward. I await your response if necessary with baited breath.

Met up with sis &Dad for a quick lunch... like the London Inn nearby, no lunches on Mondays (edit: which is totally understandable for a small place, as chef needs days off!:)). Grateful though that we were offered decent cheese & tomato/cheese & onion rolls, which were fine, and quite filling when paired with a bag of crushed black pepper/cheese &onion crisps! It was quiet. The barmaid was friendly enough (if not overly so!)

Refused a pregnant women use of their toilet when she had been stuck in red traffic on A31. Was informed by the young girl with curly brown hair on the door that the toilets are broken, pretty sure legally you’re not allowed to open if you haven’t got working toilets. 100% lying as she was smirking and looking over shoulder whilst saying it, you should be disgusted in yourselves. No wonder you had no customers inside or outside on a Sunday afternoon if that’s how you treat people.

My heavily pregnant wife and I had been sat in a lot of traffic on the A31 so decided to head to The White Hart as she was desperately in need of their facilities. When asking the member of staff at the door if she could come in to use the toilets, she rudely and abruptly said no and that all toilets on the premises were broken. Either the member of staff was lying and was happy to see a pregnant lady continue to be in discomfort, or the pub was breaking the law by being open and not having any toilet facilities. It's true that we weren't customers, but this is shocking behaviour towards a pregnant lady. Shame on you, White Hart Inn.

Nice atmosphere, helpful bar staff

We popped in today for a Sunday roast after a walk in the New Forest. The staff were very welcoming. We had Roast beef and pork, the roasts were HUGE. It came with 7 different vegtables. Reasonable priced as well. Will definately go back again

We popped in here today after a walk in the New forest. We had a roast beef and a pork. The portions were huge with 7 different vegtables. Reasonable priced as well. The staff were welcoming and the service was very quick.

Surly service. Popped in for a quick pint and to watch the West Brom V Arsenal game whilst on a staycation staying in Ringwood. The barmaid seemed less than enthused and slightly aggressive, initially I thought this may have been because Im Indian. However it seems her surly attitude wasn’t reserved to those with a darker skin tone, she seemed genuinely aggrieved to be serving the local patrons. Perhaps she was just having a bad day? Id avoid unless you are a local. In response to the owners reply querying whether i had the right White Hart Inn in Poulner (classic gaslighting), I find your response facetious to say the least. Rather than deal with the truculent attitude of your young bar staff you basically deny that I visited your establishment, embarrassing…

Had a very nice Sunday Roast here. Staff were friendly and helpful. Will go again, soon.

The people who work here are rude, the food is absolutely disgusting and the beer is even worse. You should be ashamed.

Veterinary been so cannot answer

Lovely meal. We both had steak and it was well cooked and very reasonably priced. Staff were very friendly

I was delivering to a house opposite. The people in the beer garden seemed to be enjoying themselves. Lucky sods, I had to wait another 2 hours before I could enjoy a beer

Two of us for an evening meal. The pub lacks atmosphere. Service is pleasant and prompt. The chicken satay skewers were served without the satay, This was remedied quickly when we pointed it out. But then the chicken skewers were at best lukewarm. We asked for them to be heated and this was done without fuss. No starters or sweets are on the menu. Initially the service was good but we eventually waited too long for the bill and went to pay at the bar.

Very lovely place clean good value for money on steak night. Plus when we had a puncture the landlord drove my mum and dad back to our hotel as we waited for the AA cant thank the staff enough for what they did at the end of a stressful day

My wife and I popped out for a drink Saturday night, it was 10:10pm and the door of the white hart inn was locked. A member of staff opened the door and told us they were closed, I asked her what time does she close and she said 11pm, I pointed out to her that it was only 10:10, she then said it was last orders, I asked her what time were last orders to which she replied "soon". Great way to encourage new customers in the wake of a pandemic.

Had a couple of after work pints, beer smelled a bit off. Was poorly all night and next day! Dreadful.

Very friendly staff. Great atmosphere and good choice drinks including ales

Had a takeaway roast dinner today and is honestly the best we've had. Huge portions, great variety of vegetables, gravy was tasty and Yorkshire pudding amazing. The beef was so tender as was the lamb. Really friendly lady on the telephone who took the order and helpful staff when food was collected.

Hidden gem in the middle of ringwood. Came for a roast dinner- 10/10 food including great veggie options! And 3 beautiful dogs that will come hang out. Cider on tap (inches) was great too! Really recommend it here

I came to the white hart for food and drinks, the complaints that I have is for the food, I ate the scampi and prawns and I when I got home I couldn’t get an ounce of sleep due to myself projectile vomiting all night; we did complain about the food however we were only giving extra chips to compensate for our concerns.

Once again, a perfectly cooked roast dinner with quality meat and veg. Great value but be prepared - there's plenty of it even for those with big appetites!

Lovely takeaway steak tonight 😊

It is amazing historical Pub if you are close by the food is amazing and service fast

Lockdown, Wednesday, fed up, decided to treat ourselves to a takeaway - which just happened to nicely coincide with the White Hart's Pie Night. Husband had a Chicken and Ham pie which he pronounced 'gorgeous' and I had a Mediterranean Vegetable Tart which was absolutely FANTASTIC. Thoroughly recommend Pie night and will be sampling this again ( maybe even next Wednesday)

We left another pub in the area as the service was terrible and then found this little gem! As soon as we walked in, the landlord greeted us, it was so friendly and welcoming. We sat in the restaurant and Ordered some food and drink, the portions were HUGE and delicious. The entire evening from start to finish was warm, cozy and enjoyable !

Lovely old fashion English pub, warm and friendly, good beer and 3 gorgeous dogs. 🐕 🐕 🐕

Met with a friend we tried pie night steak and Stilton and chicken and ham ,chips and mushy peas was awesome it was amazing. The waitress stroke barmaid was brilliant so nice and just genuinely really good . A credit to you Geoff .And I will be returning with the children for your gluten free options. Also covid in mind hand sanitizer everywhere, very clean toilets and table service and track and trace. Couldn't fault amazing job x

Just visited this pub with my hubby. Steak Night is a buy one get one free situation,which is a good deal. We booked last minute and were accommodated. On arrival I noticed that the CV19 restrictions were lax. I think the White Heart Inn really need to consider spacing between people at the bar and in the restaurant. When we arrived there was noone else In the restaurant so we didn't realise that several other people would be arriving to eat with us!!!! However we had ordered our food and were eating when others arrived into the small dining room.My hubby had a rib eye / medium rare and I had a 6oz fillet / medium to well done. I ordered the home made onion rings and peppercorn sauce, hubby had garlic mushrooms, stilton sauce and a large glass of house red wine. The steak we found to be of good quality, the stilton sauce was flavourful but thin, I love peppercorn sauce, I have had it hundreds of times in many different countries, I have never had peppercorn sauce with this flavour, it was thin and sweet with no pepper flavour, it's not pepper/ peppercorn sauce!! The onion rings were not home made they were frozen but fine. The steaks came with chips (chunky frozen) peas and tomato which were all nice enough. Wine was ok for house wine. All in all it was ok. Staff were friendly but need some CV19 training, some deep cleaning needs to be undertook. It was reasonable at Steak Night prices but would not pay full price.

disgusting seats and hairs in food also staff are so rude and have no respect for customers and toilets are filthy ewdeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Terrible attitude to the current situation. Cutlery is out on the Tables, dirty cutlery. Staff not washing or sanitising tables between customers. Not cleansing hands between clearing tables and serving customers. All a bit of a joke to the staff. Won’t be going again

Had a takeaway Sunday lunch, reasonable value choice from lamb, beef, pork or chicken. This was a small lamb that was very tasty, and did come with a Yorkshire pudding

Great service, food & beer, very pleasant on a summer evening!

Wow.... what a great find. Fabulous takeaway roast dinners. Perfectly presented, great variety of veg and generous portion sizes. I'll definitely be back. Just perfect thanks White Hart Inn.

Geoff does a cracking steak, his homemade onion rings are the best I've tasted and steak night is every thursday for 2 for one. But if you want a cosy place to sit he's also got the fire going in the winter. Pool table, sport on the tv and a garden area for the summer or even sit outside in the winter as some seating is under cover. Also try the roasts on Sundays! Bloody gorgeous.

Stopped for some food ... great place staff and food ... great atmosphere

Brilliant fire....excellent food....lovely staff

Just do good beer friendly atmosphere

Had Sunday roast and found the portion size was overflowing, lots of meat, 2 types of potatoes, 7 vegetables and lots of yummy gravy. The plate was almost overflowing. The place was cozy, service good and prices very reasonable. Highly recommend.

Great food. Good beer. Don't spoil it , keep it to yourselfs.

Went to the bike day very nice pub friendly staff will go again

My wife and myself decided to have an evening meal and we were recommended to try the White Hart at Poulner .. How lucky we were , absolutely brilliant , staff attentive , service lovely and as for the food .. couldn't be better . Certainly be back again many thanks ..

Old fashioned pub, enjoyed some time drinking there with friends.

Good sunday lunch. Easy parking. Cosy and friendly

Six of us visited for the first time for Sunday lunch ,we were greeted by a couple of young ladies who were very pleasant and helpful . The meals were very well cooked and there was plenty on the plate . One of our party requested peas which are not normally served but the chef actually went out and purchased some !!! Definitely beyond the call of duty . We will definitely return .

A great ambience, wasn't overcrowded (Monday at 9pm) Eclectic mix of songs on the modern jukebox

On the way back from Ringwood Brewery we wanted to stop for something to eat but we went to The Red Shoot and it was way too busy. Feeling disheartened we made our way out to the main roads and came across this delightful find... plenty of parking and the owner was so kind and helpful. Found us a gorgeous spot in the garden and we sat down to a delicious roast. The portions were mega and we all very much enjoyed it all. Unfortunately we had no room for pudding. So glad we stopped there and would highly recommend this place. Will be returning.

Pub. Toilets clean. Lovely dogs. Friendly locals.

Nice food at a reasonable price and friendly staff

Popped in for a Sunday lunch. As always the roast was fantastic. At least 7 different veggies and plenty of roast potatoes. Decided to go for a dessert - waffles and ice cream. Couldn’t finish it, luckily kids helped! Will definitely be coming back as this is a great friendly pub. Also, garden looks lovely for the summer. Daughter loved the large garden pillows.

Good stop over if going on cruise from Southampton but does need a bit of updating the bar area a bit grubby.

Very welcomeing good solection of beer
