The White Lion in Hart

Came here for dinner Reece our server was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. Definitely recommend. The food was delicious.

Brilliant meal with attentive, friendly staff. Leanne was super friendly. We highly recommend eating here or just popping in for a drink (the Friday night band was spot on too)

Easter Sunday lunch with the family (5), the food really was excellent with great service from Leanne & Naomi, thoroughly recommend!

Another wonderful Sunday Roast, served by the lovely Leanne. Have been on many previous Sundays, still only the one (minor) complaint/observation. The Eton Mess needs a LOT more meringue and much less cream please.

Came in for a spot of lunch over the Easter weekend and can’t believe I’ve not been in here before! Our waitress Leanne was super friendly and accommodating especially for our fussy kids! Thank you for a lovely lunch and we can’t wait to return!

I ordered the roast dinner and it was huge and very tasty. I did hesitate about ordering a Sunday roast on an app but it was hot, tasty and a generous serving.

Very pleasant pub friendly staff pull a good pint. Very impressed until the chef came out of the kitchen. Dirty chefs whites. Dirty to the extreme. This want a single nights dirt I’m not certain if his whites have ever been washed. Two points. Chefs should should not enter public areas and if they do wear clean respectable chefs whites. Doesn’t send a good message about kitchen hygiene seeing this. Put me off eating there. The manager really should get a grip of his staff no matter how good a chef this is unacceptable.

pleasant place reasonable prices

Good food. Very good service and a nice pint of beer.

We always enjoy our visit’s to our local pub. It’s a great place with lots of olde worlde character, great food, atmosphere and friendly staff. You won’t find a better landlord than Paul. A genuinely lovely man who has improved the pub immensely since he took over a few years ago.

Love this place, very vibrant. Fantastic food choices and excellent service.

Great meal as always, served by Leanne who was very attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. Thanks😊

The pub was lovely but they didn't tell me I had to give my number plate to validate my parking and I received a £60 pound fine.

I would go again,we had the Sunday lunch menu,lamb,beef and turkey, everyone said,how good the food was,and plenty of it!Well done the White Lion.

Came here for a Friday night dinner with no booking. We were seated quickly, our server Leanne was very attentive and quick to get our drinks. The food was good, with a classic pub menu and reasonably priced as well.

What a lovely dinner we had today at the white lion being served the whole by my Naomi what a lovely lady she is nothing was to much she went above and beyond.

POORLY FROM SEVERE FOOD POISONING! Booked dinner for colleagues maternity leave. Me and my colleague ordered the gammon steak which arrived promptly. We both the suffered that night with serve stomach cramps, vomiting and diarrhoea. We both was off sick for multiple days due to not being able to keep food or water down. Was in and out of the doctors throughout. Only me and my colleague who had gammon steak experienced the same symptoms for multiple days. No help from food safety team.

Very nice place, great food. Highly recommended.

We have lunched here many times and the food has always been good. However when our charming waitress Naomi told me that, once again the Lambshanks and Crumble were sold out I was disappointed. They are so popular she said! My reply was’why don’t you order more in future!’ However we thoroughly enjoyed our meal in a charming atmosphere looked after brilliantly by cheerful Naomi. We will be back soon and may even get the Lamb Shanks!

Really great, juicy steak with trimmings. Another great meal.

Food absolutely fabulous nice & hot couldn't fault it one bit you can always tell a place by the popularity of people using it and it was very busy indeed but we was served quickly with drinks & food very recommended, with good menu choices as well

We were a party of 23 people on Saturday 15th February. We pre-ordered our food to make life a little easier for service on the day. The food and service were amazing! Compliments to the chef plus Leanne and Naomi for outstanding service. Not forgetting the landlord, Paul, who always goes above and beyond to deliver an exceptional experience. Many thanks from all of us.

Leanne was a warm and welcoming server. Attentive and on the ball .always smiling. We usually go to Crowthorne Vintage inns but this is as good if not better. A lovely welcoming atmosphere full of chatter and laughter. Thank you 🥂

When we arrived for lunch we were welcomed very warmly and shown to our table promptly. Our server was called Onyx and was very smiley, polite, extremely helpful throughout and nothing was too much trouble. We ordered drinks and then our food which arrived very quickly and was extremely tasty. 10 out of 10. Will definitely be back!!

Was visiting family in the area and stopped of for lunch, lovely inside and great atmosphere. We was served by the lovely Leanne who was very attentive and very friendly :) food was lovely and great portion size. Will most definitely come back again :)

Pleasant drinking and gastro pub, with old-world charm. Well located on the high street and close to ample parking (on site or nearby) the pub offers low ceilings and roaring fires. Lots of seating, some in cosy nooks. Decent drink selection and attentive bar staff. Superb menu, with top quality food, served pipping hot and reasonably quickly. Normal gastro-pub prices.

My husband and I had a delicious meal at The White Lion yesterday evening to celebrate our wedding anniversary. It was our first visit here, I wanted to try it as I'd seen a friend eat a meal they'd had delivered. Our server, Libby was wonderful and the food came out at intervals that didn't make us feel rushed or neglected. The pub is warm and inviting, welcoming regulars and random people alike. The menu has the classics but also some really unique creations and everything we had was beautifully cooked and presented. We very much enjoyed our evening.

This old pub is at the heart of Yateley village, it has a welcoming atmosphere, especially when the fires are lite, its so warm & cozy. The food is good & recommended. The pub landlord organizes lots of great evening events from a weekly pub quiz to music nights.

Anyone hesitating due to lack of feed back don't! I had [probably] the best ever chicken fillet burger from any local takeaway - I thought I would give this pub a try. Soft chicken, crispy outside, GREAT flavours. Really really impressed.

We had an amazing NYE night at the White Lion hosted by Paul who not only was the perfect host, he also considered his customers experience and operated a ticket only entrance which meant the pub wasn’t over packed and easy to get to the bar. This made it a great experience for us plus you could comfortably stand at the bar and chat with other customers and the amazing staff who worked so hard over the Christmas period. Well done to Paul and his fantastic team for all the hard work and giving h us a place in Yateley where we can have a great time with family, friends and the community along with making memories. You really have created a great public bar and restaurant in our community. Thank you

Great Pub, staff all very friendly & helpful. Me and my extended family have been on many occasions to celebrate Birthdays, Baby Showers etc and Paul & the team are always very helpful. We never fail to bump into someone we know resulting in a good night out. Proper village pub feel with a personable hands on landlord. Special thanks this time of year for staff giving up their Christmas Day etc over the festive period. Happy New Year to Paul & The Team

First thing, the entire place stank of smoke; clearly the chimney needs a sweep. Service beyond terrible and we were immediately bluntly told the wait was going to be at least 30 mins. It turned out to be nearly 50 mins and when the food arrived it was awful. A pizza which was made with wholemeal flour. It was like eating cardboard, only cardboard might actually have more flavour. My wife had a Caesar salad which looked off. Chicken had no flavour and the hard boiled egg wasn't. Instead it was a cold running partly cooked egg served with going bad avocado. We passed on sweets as majority of dishes shown on the menu were not available. Overall this has to be one of the worst dining experiences I've encountered in the last 50 years eating out. AVOID unless you like overpriced badly cooked food with terrible service.

Just not great really. Waited 45 minutes for food which we were told about when ordering but when it arrived, it was look warm at best. Tasted ok. Shame really

The White Lion has everything, great atmosphere, attentive friendly staff and tasty food.

Horrible. We arrived for our reservation, and the bar was busy, and waitress tending to bar. I had to ask for us to be seated, and we had a reservation!. No others were waiting to be seated. Our menus were crumpled. We were told that the bar was busy and so it would take 30 minutes or more for food. WHY! They were walk-ins and we had a reservation. It took a long time to give drinks order and food order. Out of my guests only 1 enjoyed his pizza. Myself and other guest did not. When it came to the dessert I had to chase on foot, the waitress down for the pudding menus! Then most of the desserts were unavailable. So we asked for the check. That we had to yell to get waitress to bring payment machine. There appeared to be only 1 bar person and 2 waitresses. This is the second time in 4 years I've been disappointed by your establishment. Never again. And I will never recommend you.

Lovely pub with a warm fire, felt welcoming. Staff were friendly and showed us to the pre-booked table. Menu orders were checked and drinks were quick. Despite being very busy, the pub had a lovely atmosphere and staff were apologetic when the starters arrived quite late. Food was tasty and cooked well with a good length of time between courses. Overall a great experience and we will come again.

We were a large party for a birthday - the service was brilliant and the food delicious!

Greeted with a friendly welcoming from our waitress Hannah and a warm and cosy atmosphere. Tried the lamb shank (new to the menu) beautiful and tender! Also had a sirloin steak, cooked and presented perfectly! All in all a lovely afternoon

We booked a table online and were warmly welcomed by Naomi. She took us to a lovely table and made sure we were comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and will definitely return for more.

My wife and I had 2 portions of the salt and pepper squid last night, it arrived cold and was chewy. A lot small end bits, last of the bag maybe! Shud have sent it back. It must have been sitting on the pass too long. The pub was packed and had a good time with a live DJ playing northern soul music.

I recommend this restaurant with its cosy atmosphere, perfect for a dinner with friends or a romantic get-together. A very welcoming and professional staff.

Pleasant time spent at the White Lion. Cozy atmosphere, welcoming team and quality meals!

We gave this pub another chance as I had met the Landlord Paul in the summer. We are so glad we did - great food and super service. Thank you to the team for looking after us. Huge improvements seen , we will be back and highly recommend under Pauls expert leadership.

Great burgers, service is fast and nice and the place is cosy. Definitely recommend the signature burger 🍔

This pub is lovely,the staff are really smiley and helpful nonething is to much trouble ,and the food is really nice and reasonably priced .you feel really welcomed. I've been To a few different places recently and some of them could learn a few things from here .so weldone all of you and I will definitely be coming back .

Another great evening with Hannah’s fabulous service and lovely meals from the kitchen.

Fish and chips were absolutely vile. Everything was way too salty and meant that the fish couldn’t be eaten. Potatoes and vegetables on all roast dinners ordered just tasted of pure salt; along with the chips. Service was brilliant, but doesn’t make up for the disgusting food served!

It was cold outside and I was glad that the log fires were burning. Had the bar snacks (chorizo sausages, warm scotch egg and halloumi fries). Really tasty. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Excellent selection of beers. Good menu. Would highly recommend.

I've been in the white lion quite a few times. Just gets better.

Could not fault the whole experience. Paul and all his staff are making a big effort To make the White Lion the best pub in Yateley and surrounding area.

Our waitress Naomi was pleasant, helpful, efficient and super nice. The food was amazing

What the hell is the car park issue. Totally did not read the parking notices as I dont look at car parking signs at pubs. Never heard of lightning in car reg number. Ridiculous. Food nice . Dumb staff

10 of us went to the White Lion in Yateley for my sisters birthday. We were welcomed with smiles by all the staff. The staff were attentive and polite, the food was delicious. The real log fires added such a nice touch. If you’re looking for a nice meal and a nice atmosphere I definitely recommended the white lion

The best quality food around.. The ribeye is amazing (we had eaten in loTS of restaurants and 100% this place is the best). CONGRATULATIONS TO THE CHEF AND THE KITCHEN STAFF.And omg! The pink lamb is like HEAVEN. The waiters are so lovely and the service is exceptional. Laura we love your smile (you are one of the kind) so Definitely we will be loyal customers.

Booked a table for 10 people to celebrate a birthday! The lovely Pauline, Libby, Laura and Hannah made it a fun afternoon! Very happy & attentive staff, lovely cosy log fire and a free bottle of Prosecco for the birthday girl! 🍾 🥂 Food was delicious and served HOT!

This is the worst meal I have ever had. The whitebait was covered in brown bread crumbs the chicken I think had been dead for 10 years. The chef is not a chef. Expensive cheap drinks Expensive rubbish food.. Avoid this like the plaque.

Food was tasty when it arrived, but the service was painfully slow. 45 minutes for main courses and who knows how long for desserts - we had to give up and leave after sitting for 2 hours.

Great pub! Food, beer, atmosphere all lovely. Friendly crowd of people. Don't miss quiz night 🤓

My first visit for over 10 years. The food was fairly priced and generously proportioned.

Fab good, staff are friendly, very reasonable prices for the quality of food.

First time visiting on Saturday, was very impressed with the selection of beers! Fish and chips were very good, and the staff very helpful and friendly! Will be returning next time I'm in the area.

Venue for Get-together. My daughter-in law had booked a surprise 40th birthday get together for my Son. The room is semi private, so although out of the way, still easy access to the rest of the Pub. I have to say, the service we received from the Staff was Top Top Class, all meals came out on time, nothing was too much trouble, we only had to ask and the response was efficiency, smiling faces, willingness to please. The right balance between helping but leaving us our privacy too. We had a really lovely evening. Well done to the staff that looked after us, you should all be very proud of yourselves. You helped make the evening such a success. If anyone wants a family gathering and looking for a Venue, I recommend The White Lion, I cannot recommend it highly enough. You will not be disappointed .

Great food, drinks, and atmosphere. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Very affordable pricing, especially for how delicious it was! Would 100% recommend! Also dog friendly.

Absolutely spot on. Naomi Ellis our waitress was superb. Good food, great service but it does depend who is the on duty manager. Jake is brilliant as the duty manager.

Excellent time spent with family. Good food, good atmosphere

Great time, the children enjoyed the nuggets and fish and chips!!

I went there for a dinner a couple weeks ago and had a great time, the atmosphere was great. The only small things are that some of the condiments were finished, and some of the chips were a bit overcooked. Overall the experience was great.

Absolutely lovely service. Fantastic food wonderful staff was served by various different staff such as nick, Louise, Jake and Laura.

Went two nights running. On both occasions we were impressed. The first night for a full meal was excellent. Pork loin and huge portions. Second night just for a small bite. We shared two starters both were superb. I would highly recommend a visit, but go earlier as last serving is from 8:30.

Unfortunately the food took an hour to come out. To be fair to the waiting staff, they offered a drink to say sorry, even without us complaining about it. But we had a full drink at the time so didn’t take them up on offer. Then food arrived and my roast was cold. Meat over cooked and everything was bland, cold and inedible. I left feeling hungry, which is never good when you’re eating at a restaurant. The waiting staff took some money off the bill, but still was a lot of money spent for a meal I barely touched because of it being inedible. My husband did say, however, that his burger was piping hot and very tasty. So maybe it’s a safer bet ordering burgers only!

Although a local to me, with so much choice for a Sunday roast, and based on many previous poor experiences, I had not been on a Sunday for years. I am so glad I've given it a go again. Pauline started by helping me put my bike away, great start! I ordered the Turkey breast roast; this turned out to be delicious, excellent in both quantities and quality. Beautifully cooked vegetables and potatoes too. Great friendly service to match. Definitely give it another go if you have had poor experiences before.

Very pleasant pub with great staff

Great food just took a long time to come out. Drinks order was lost and had to be chased. Mojito cocktail tasted watery and was just ice and drink.

Nice pub, the signature burger was really signature. Really good. They have Estrella which I like and 2 more good pilseners. Unusual and welcomed. But I have to say, there was there a waitress , Ms bond. What an asset, fantastic welcome and had us in stitches. In what appears to be a pub like many others offered us a very good experience

Passing through village and thought how lovely it looked so popped in for a drink, such a friendly place and next time we'll stay longer for a meal as it looked good 👍 see you soon

Great service from Naomi! Friendly and attentive. Good food as usual. Handy to walk to and from. Pretty busy on Friday but in a good way! Nice to see a local pub thriving!

Always good these days and competitive with those nearby on price. Ambience is good and the new management have made a difference at a pub that needed change. The hanging baskets always look nice and the new seating outside is a big improvement

Absolute stars! Accommodated a large family party with Sunday roasts. Food was excellent (loved the lamb rump), and the service made us all feel very welcome.

Excellent service from Paul, Louise and their colleagues. The lamb was cooked and served just how I like it. The mac and cheese was also very good.

Always a very warm welcome from all of the staff! They all know our names and greet us with a pleasant smile! I have a bottle of Sandbox wine with a glass of soda to mix and Brian always has a Guinness, the bar staff always bring the Guinness to the table once it has settled! Louise managed to do a lovely heart on Andy's coffee!!!

Always good service in the bar. Live music Fridays evenings. Great atmosphere. Very friendly pub.

Excellent food Naomi our waitress was great

I had the fish and chips which was most enjoyable along with the friendly atmosphere. Would recommend!

We had lovely food for lunch - the food was delicious and served really quickly. Food was fresh and although we all ordered different things it was still all hot and perfect. Louise was our waiter and she was really kind and thoughtful :) Thank you!

Lovely pub and great atmosphere.

A last minute visit and really glad we decided to go - friendly staff, Naomi looked after us really well, great food & drink and a buzzy but laid-back atmosphere. We will be back!

A nice evening with pleasant staff and good food. Highly recommend the salads, chunky chips, pizzas, sticky chicken and more

Staff are brilliant - loving the new benches

Popped in for a quick refresh after the Yateley 10k Road Race. Unfortunetly most of the draught beers were not available. Although, the one that was available was well kept and full of flavour. As we did not have a meal I can not comment on the food.

The White Lion is a fantastic, cosy pub with a great atmosphere. I came down on a Friday night and had a great time. The food was fresh, hot and served with a lovely smile from Laura. I'll definitely be coming back.

We have not been to the white lion in years as the level of service and quality had severely increased. As the pub had over gone a complete overhaul and management we thought we would give it a try. And my goodness what a transformation. The new landlord Paul has certainly worked wonders and turned this pub into an absolute delight to visit. Staff were busy but very attentive to customers, very polite making sure everything was satisfactory. But the food! Out of this world we both had the Sunday roast and it’s one of the best roast dinners I think I have ever had. We will definitely be going back and thank you Paul and your magnificent team of staff for making this pub amazing once again!

Four of us went for a get together lunch and were treated to good and tasty food beautifully and quickly served. Naomi did a great job of making sure we were looked after at every stage with a smile and calm demeanor she even served an Irish coffee we ordered that she had never made before with aplomb. Well done and a definite whole better experience than that of a few years ago.

Nice pub Manger was rude when we was there as they needed to get rid of our table for a live act and told us to MOVE......

Reliable local with a great atmosphere and a decent pint of Tribute. The new benches outside are a great addition. Parts of the building are getting a bit tired, and in need of a clean - the toilets being the best example. There is mould on the walls under the driers, pictures that need taking down, things falling off... and my wife says that the women's is similar (lack of toilet paper can be an issue, too). Hopefully easily sorted for future :)

Brilliant waitress served us. Fairly priced and tasty food. Will be returning

Went for Sunday lunch .Ladies taking orders lovely .When my roast beef arrived it was bloody gristle ridden and fatty .Cauliflower cheese needed an axe to cut the stalks . I asked for a spoon as trying to put Cauliflower cheese on your plate with your fork is impossible. I asked for mustard AND horseradish and the eyes of the guy went up and body language said "" you are annoying" Sent back the dinner They cut more but by then rest of dinner cold . Never mind my mum ordered a pudding which never arrived . We often go to cowherds in Southampton as my son at uni .Same chain never had a meal like this one and with attitude . Never again

Unfortunately, the sweet I wanted was sold out.

My friend and I enjoyed a delicious meal and were served by the lovely Laura. Such a cute happy waitress. Highly recommend the sticky chicken bites and beef lasagne. Only one criticism is that they never have everything on the menu in stock but doesn’t stop me visiting them

Had a beautiful meal at the White Lion last night. The food was delicious, and the service from the lovely Laura was a service with a smile / giggle. Laura is so warming, welcoming and attentive. She works so hard but always smiles. Paul the Landlord is also really lovely. Thank you both for making my evening so pleasant. Can't wait to come back. 😁😁😁😁

Nice friendly restaurant. The food was very tasty but the roast lunch was not hot enough and went cold quickly The service was ok but a bit slow at times We might go back but prefer The Golden Retriever near Bracknell
