The White Hart Inn in Isle of Wight

Great as usual. John and Anne Marie with their staff are friendly as ever.

Really good, nice food, pleased with service

Lovely village pub the food was amazing and very tasty would highly recommend it but book in advance as it can get very busy 😀

Limited small plate lunch menu unless you want a jacket spud or sandwich/baguette. I wanted the tempura batter prawns, but the batter had eggs in it - I'm very allergic to eggs. I had the pork with apricot and stilton - very tasty but much too big for lunch for me. I marked down for the atmosphere as it was mostly elderly people eating and my Mom and I kept having our conversation halted by very loud phone dings and beeps. The guy on the next table's phone rang - it was so loud you could've heard it on the mainland - his wife chided him and said he should have his hearing aids in... 🤔🤔

A lovely place with excellent food & good service A shame about the lack of parking

Fabulous lunch today with my 2 oldies 🥰😂 service was amazing, table was ready when we arrived and the food was delicious, hot and presented well. Definitely be going again. Thanks very much

Loved the food and the service. Anyone visiting isle of wight should definitely have their food in here. Good portions and lovely ambience.

A wonderful traditional, homely village pub. Exceptionally clean, friendly and comfortable. An impressive menu with even more impressive food quality and taste. (The Chilli Nachos are to die for!!!) Every member of staff, out the front and behind the scenes are genuinely magic. A genuine and attentive, kind and caring individuals - every single one!!! Highly recommend a visit, even just for a cheeky beverage! Thank you for having us 😇

Very nice meal and good atmosphere.

Food was lovely and the owners are very hospitable. We had a great time!

Visited for dinner with 4 adults and my 2 children (6yo and 2yo). The service was perfect and the staff were really friendly to our children. The food was of a really high standard and far above the average pub. Extensive specials menu alongside the standard a la carte. Would strongly recommend.

Lovely service, food is perfect

First time eating here and hopefully not the last! Great service and food all round. Friendly and accommodating staff. Highly recommend.

Great food. We were under the impression it was dog friendly but dogs are only allowed outside. So when it started raining we had to eat in the rain!

We were made very welcome and enjoyed our meals and drinks at this lovely village pub. Some of us felt the food might have benefited with the addition of a little more spice in the curry as it was very mild, perhaps offer an option of mild, medium or hot?

Great food, fantastic service. Just wish we’d discovered it earlier on our week’s holiday as we’d have gone back again and again.

The halloumi and pesto fries were a tasty starter. Me and my friend liked the lasagna but agreed it was a little too cheesy , the garlic bread was lovely that came with it though. My other friend enjoyed her scampi.

Excellent Sunday roast, we have been twice this year (visiting from London) and food so wonderful, we went back today. All 3 visits were very busy so book a table to guarantee a stop, the food is fabulous and home made. The landlord and landlady are very welcoming and lovely, as are the rest of the staff. Well worth a visit.

Not the best food and quite pricey for what we had.

I've been visiting here for years, always popular, good quality food and excellent service. One of the best eating pubs on the island.

Brilliant night the food was excellent the staff were very friendly and accommodated 15 of us

Third time eating at The White Hart and it doesn't disappoint. The food is lovely, fresh and hot, the staff are friendly and welcoming. We arrived today a party of 13 after tge scooter rally and just what the doctor ordered. Thank you to all, we will be back

Grabbed a cheeky pub lunch today at the White Hart Inn, Havenstreet. Sat outside as the sun was shining. Superb home cooked pub food with the usual attentive and friendly service. The pub was very busy with locals and tourists enjoying some rare summer sun over the Bank Holiday weekend. Staff greated us with smiles and took time to chat and make us feel welcome. Whitby scampi or traditional roast pork, what's your choice?

My two daughters and myself popped into the The White Hart, Havenstreet for lunch whilst on a day out on the Isle of Wight Steam Railway. This English village pub cannot be praised enough, both for it's food and wonderful, friendly staff. I had the Ham and Cheese Ploughman's, with, mouth-watering, succulent thick cut ham, my girls had the ham sandwiches, totally outstanding in taste and presentation. I would probably say, this is the best Ploughman's Lunch I have ever had and I have had some fantastic ones in other English village pubs down the years. They had around 3 real ales on tap, can't recall for certain which I had, think it was from the Ringwood Brewery, but whatever it was, it was so good, I had a second pint to wash down my Ploughman's. For dessert, the girls and myself had locally made dairy ice cream - truly scrumptious! The down side of being such a popular hostelry is, you need to get here early. We just missed out on the last table indoors, but as it was such a glorious sunny day, we did not mind eating out in the beer garden. Top marks to the wonderful owner who served us and the lovely ladies behind the bar. If you are holidaying in the Isle of Wight, please make a point of visiting the White Hart Inn, it will be an absolute joy to eat and drink here.

Delicious meals (Ham Egg & Chips, and Scampi and chips) served in a very friendly, homely place.

Excellent! Sat outside as we hadn't booked and the restaurant was full. Friday lunchtime we thought would be ok, don't make the same mistake; make sure you book! Great choice on the menu and specials too. We both ate from special menu and food was perfect. Service helpful and friendly too. Can't believe we've not been here before.

A well anticipated lunch meet up with good friends, resulting in disappointment. We waited over an hour for our food. Over half an hour just for the order to be taken! Sadly NONE of the looked forward chicken dishes were available during to a 'delivery problem'. Well Ryde is only 15 minutes away, and shop there sell chicken! So I wasn't impressed as I only eat fish and chicken. By the time we had our order taken the lamb had also sold out and we had got there at 12.30! Which was sad because only one week before my partner had a lovely meal with good service. Just a bad day I guess.

Good food good service. We wouldn't keep going back if it wasn't. Probably one of the best pubs for food. Not just the usual pub grub, but good quality food. Personally recommend the Beef Ragu & Ginger Steam pudding 😋

Very good food, and good atmosphere.

Lovely food , well priced good size meals friendly atmosphere, will definitely go back again, thank you ❤️

A lovely warm welcome as we arrived excellent food, service and value.The food was fresh and tasty, the staff were lovely . We will definitely be back highly recommend .

Cannot fault the place. Excellent food, service and friendliness at a very reasonable price.

Very nice meals will book again had the sea bass and the chicken with double cooked chips very nice meals

We booked for a joint celebration dinner and were very impressed . We were made to feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The staff were attentive without being over the top. We ordered from a good menu, including the specials. Our food arrived promptly, was well presented and generous portions. The food was very tasty and perfectly cooked. We left room for a dessert which, like the main course, was delightful. We paid a fair price for what we had, I've paid a lot more for far inferior food.

Booked for a joint celebration meal and we were not disappointed. The food arrived promptly, was piping hot, very tasty and generous portions. The staff were very friendly and attentive without being over the top. Will definitely go back again.

Stopped here for lunch. Good food, friendly service and a great pint of Wight Squirrel (2 actually!).

Although fully booked inside we sat in the garden with the dog and the service was quick and efficient. Friendly staff, great service and great food.

The best food we have had all week while staying on the Isle of Wight. Excellent food and service all at a very reasonable price.

What a find! Popped in for lunch and met with a friendly greeting. Every table had hand sanitizer and there was a plenty of choices on the menu. Both of our dishes were superb and the service was great, we will certainly be returning in the near future. More draught ales would have been nice, but it will not stop us going back.

Great place to eat , well run , spotlessly clean , great staff We had the best meal we had all week on the island , proper pub grub done so very well Definitely worth a visit

Really excellent food and service. Gets very busy so would recommend booking .... or you can eat outside on the terrace. Recommended

Lovely food and great service, well prepared and excellent quality. We opted for the mixed seafood salad and my wife had the salmon with chilli prawns with fresh vegetables, We will be back !!

Great food. BIG portions. Recommended

We went there for a birthday dinner, 25 of us and they did a most excellent job. The food was delicious, my halloumi stater was tasty with fresh dressed salad. The lamb shank was divine with extra sauce and plentiful veggies to accompany. The service...

Some of the best pub food i have ever had. We were a group of 10 and everyone loved their meals. Excellent value for the quality of food. Brilliant, friendly service too. Cannot praise this lovely little pub highly enough .

Always reliably good. We went for lunch with a friend as part of a birthday celebration. Enticing choice of meals. Excellent service. Friendly and professional.

Great pub, with really tasty food. Highly recommend.

Known for its food which has always been excellent with great service and well trained staff.

Lovely atmosphere, excellent food , thankyou

Super efficient staff, food was great & hot. Have rebooked for 9 of us in August. Highly recommend.

Had the pleasure of experiencing the delicious food on Mother's day!

First visit for a Sunday lunch. Service and staff superb. Went for roasts. Excellent presentation. However there could have been an extra serving of gravy. There simply wasnt enough. Side dish vegetables cooked just right. Definately fresh and not frozen catering garbage. Desserts were good but imho over priced. Overall the food was very good. Id recommend and return.

Great for food, or for just drinks

Visiting friends on the Island, was recommended glad we went.Great food & service, freshly cooked, salad ordered by one of our party was really fresh & tasty, Sunday roast ordered by the others was exceptional.

Good ales and hearty food at an excellent location with cheerful friendly staff.

Excellent Sunday lunch as always ( Mother’s Day),John , Ann-Marie & team always friendly & professional

First time to The White Hart Inn and I must say was pleasantly surprised the food was very good and the staff very welcoming will definitely be back again

Excellent Sunday roast. Proper amount of custard on the pudding. Thank you.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Go there every year when on the Isle of Wight. Would recommend it for food. Friendly and attentive staff.

A very cosy country pub and restaurant, with a comprehensive menu. Delicious food served with a friendly smile. An all-round excellent dining experience.

Love food and staff,very polite,efficient and helpful

Once again absolutely fabulous meals. Great choice. Great value. Great food. Thank you.

Beautiful meal, with really friendly and polite staff and owners. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Had lunch here with my walking mate last week. Clean, friendly, good food, good beer, reasonable prices, very enjoyable haven from the rain, what's not to like?

Popped in on the spur of the moment for lunch after a walk, I'm so glad we did. I had the parsnip,carrot and sweet potato bake topped with sliced new potatoes and cheese. The food was well presented and very tasty. I followed this with a Bounty sundae which was a taste of paradise! The staff were very friendly and efficient. Nice relaxed atmosphere in a very pleasant pub. We will definitely be back.

Amazing food , amazing service , defiantly worth a visit ! Fishcakes and burgers were amazing. Thank you!!

Delicious food, great service and a warm atmosphere. Our first visit here, for a Christmas get together. Excellent value and lovely choice on the menu.

Top nosh and very accommodating.

Excellent in every way, highly recommended, a match for any London restaurant. I would give it 100%, but one of the spoons was bent!

We hadn't been for a while due to lockdown but it was as good as ever. Great food, nicely served with a good selection of vegetables and potatoes. The venison was superb and a generous portion in a rich sauce. Adequate parking and a selection of beers and wines, we won't be leaving it long before our next visit.

Very nice food, high quality without being over fancy. Excellent service too.

Extremely helpful in giving us an isolated table. Service was excellent and choice of menu superb. Food was cooked and presented extremely well. Staff friendly but not interrupting every few minutes. So impressed, we booked for Christmas lunch in December.

Fantastic food and plenty of it and great service.

The best place on the iow for a freshly made cooked meal with a great representative serving you. Very personal and in a lovely tranquil setting Exceptional food perfection on cleanliness and such a personal touch from staff My fav place ever to eat here on the iow Never ever disappoint and not even the slightest mineute thing to winge about

We attended as a group of 8 to celebrate what would have been my grandma's 80th birthday. Upon arriving, we weren't allowed to go to the bar for a drink (we were awaiting the rest of our party). When it came to ordering, the waitress...

Never fails to impress. Great menu, great food, great local beer, great service. Try something different every time I come here and have never been disappointed. Highly recommended!

Everything about the White Hart at Havenstreet is excellent ie food, staff, surroundings; we always look forward to going knowing that we won’t be disappointed.

Wonderful country pub ,very welcoming . Beautiful food well worth a visit

Lovely pub, great staff, my only criticism is that unless you like mac cheese there is nothing else for vegetarians and nothing vegan.

Love this restaurant - great portions and good prices. Plenty of choices and I’m quite a fussy eater. Friendly staff who are always really kind with my little one. 100% recommend!

Went as a family of four and could not fault the service or the food. Definitely recommend a visit if you are over the Isle of Wight!

Beautiful food, drinks and friendly, well paced service. My partner and I both had three courses and they were all excellent. The pub interior is spacious and bright and the loos were lovely and clean. Having had some lackluster meals out during our holiday on...

We chose to eat here because it is only 10 minutes away from the Fishbourne Ferry Terminal. We arrived on the island around lunch time so we were hungry after our journey. We were warmly welcomed when we arrived and all the staff were very...

The staff are very friendly and helpful and the food amazing. We stopped for lunch and just had to book for dinner, best meal we have had on the Island. Thank you.

Nice country pub with friendly staff. The Sunday lunches were really nice with a lovely light treacle sponge & custard to follow!

Great menus and and wonderful service

Just returned from the most delicious meal at this lovely restaurant. From booking a table on the phone to paying the bill every member of staff was polite, friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. I had the lamb rump in a pesto sauce which...

Was looking for a place to eat quite late in the day and stumbled across this gem of a place through the high mark and good review on Google maps and rightly so. We were able to sit outside as fully booked inside and as...

Went here for an evening meal. The food quality is top-notch with great service from the young staff. Lovely little pub with plenty of room and no overcrowding. Definitely going back.

Went for lunch board outside said food until 2pm but turns out it was 13.45!!! Will update if we do get to eat there but first impressions was it was for older generations ....
