White Hart in Basingstoke and Deane

Update: Popped in for a lunchtime drink today. Lovely pint at a reasonable price but £14+ for a large glass of Rioja is a bit steep. If you want two glasses or more, but a bottle. Lunchtime visit. Nice pub just off the A33 but in a village location. Reasonable size car park. Good selection of beers and larger (Youngs pub). Food is good but the menu lacks any real low-carb options for diabetics. Some veg/an options. Excellent service both at the bar and seated. Large beer garden with tented area if it's a bit damp outside. Pub is popular, esp. at weekends but you can book tables online (advised).

Sent a wee thank you yesterday and failed to mention Kems, great hospitality

Emily & Jacob were gr8 waiters.

Had a great Sunday lunch - Jacob and Iona were very attentive and Sunday lunch was delicious

Absolutely over priced for everything and anything 2 drinks £15.20.... honestly wtf....

We were so taken care of at this lovely pub. The server, Emilie, couldn’t have done more for one of our party who has severe food allergies, bringing out personalised menus and double checking all her choices. She was utterly patient and nothing was too much trouble. The food was great too with yummy fish cakes, home made scotch eggs, good desserts and chips. We left very happy and will definitely be back.

Popped in for a coffee and they had a couple of slices of millionaire shortbread. We got to sit by the fire, it was really lovely. Beautiful 'oldey worldey' pub, menu looks good too, we will be back!

Superb food, great atmosphere 👌

This pub is highly recommended for a delicious Sunday roast - the Yorkshire puddings were exceptional and the online booking system was easy to use

Iona is the best waitress we’ve had in a long time. Wonderfully hospitable, great at explaining the menu, and all round positive attitude, 10/10 would recommend to anyone. Thank you Iona!!!

A truly fantastic experience. The service from our waitress Emily could not have been better! She was attentive, caring, and made us feel very welcome. The atmosphere is lively in the bar area, and more relaxed in the dining area. (Depending on your preference). The food was a little bit of let down. The beetroot Wellington was very dry. The deserts were the most disappointing aspect. The shortbread was undercooked. And the apple crumble had a tiny amount of custard and crumble.

Fabulous meal in a cosy country pub. Food tasted delicious (Roast Pork), Jemima served us promptly and with a smile 😊

Wonderful country pub with a cosy atmosphere. Had a delicious Sunday dinner with my family, the roast belly pork was amazing with just the right amount of crispy crackling. Served by Jemima who was very attentive and friendly.

The food was good however, it was the service we received from Emily and Jacob that made the experience of dining hear a treat worthy of repeating.

Solid food and nice atmosphere. Portion sizes very big - would have liked a dessert but couldn't! Jacob & Emily very attentive & helpful.

The white hart is a cozy little pub, serves great food. Jacob and Emily were very attentive, courteous and patient. We were a large indecisive group, and we're made to feel welcome. Definitely recommend coming for a meal

Thank you for a lovely evening with some tasty food and eloquent service from Jacob, Emily and Ben! 10/10

Great service and food. Well looked after by Jacob and Emily. Ben also made sure the glasses never ran dry

Surprise party for someone special, Mark and the team looked after us fabulously, 40 or so of us for around 9 hours! Would certainly return for an event space (we go for meals and drinks fairly regularly anyway!). So may people commented on the food and the venue, well done!

We were looked after by Kara and Kerris, and had a superb lunch with friends! Very relaxed atmosphere, dogs allowed, and all round a great Sunday lunch!

3 generations which included an 18 month old toddler and a 7 week old baby also not forgetting our family dog were all made so welcome for a delicious lunch. The staff looked after us so well and all were so kind and accommodating. The lunch menu choices were amazing with good vegetarian options. Spacious and comfortable for dining with a choice of areas inside and outside. High chair available. Really dog friendly. Good parking. We noticed on the bar you can buy duck food to feed the local ducks. We thoroughly recommend.

The food is great, service is great, Jemima & Emily were brilliant. Very impressed, will come back again. And definitely recommend.

The roast was nice but my beef was abit tuff otherwise cooked perfectly everyone else's food was good. It was a bit disappointing that they had run out of somethings on the menu but wasn't the end of the world.We would definitely return again maybe a evening or lunch.

Led a Tandem Club UK Page cycle ride there for lunch. Supplied names and menu choices in advance. 14 of us and all was well organised. Nice food, good selection of beers and wines, friendly bar staff who made sure we were all ok and had everything we needed. Couldn't fault them.

lovely roast, nice pub with a welcoming atmosphere

Good food and great table service. Hannah & Jemima were lovely and couldn’t have been more helpful.

Jemima and Hannah were so lovely, helpful and really smiley. Food was delicious and quick. Would definitely recommend.

Very busy live band on tonight which sounded awesome

End of Summer party with live music. Superb evening with superb staff, friendly, welcoming and efficient. First time at this dog friendly pub and it was smashing. Special mention to Ben behind the bar.

As per usual, the White Hart Team excelled themselves. The food was great and much appreciated. Quality, efficiency and attention to detail was brilliant. It was a shame I had to drive though! Thank you WH Team, and Hannah who served us, for the most part, during the meal. JC

Good home cooked food presented well and at good prices with great service from Jemima. All staff super friendly would recommend

Great place, and even had good weather for it. Lovely pub atmosphere, a good menu cooked well with wide drinks selection. Staff were all excellent and friendly. Loads of outside space, including undercover on the lawn. Very dog-friendly, too.

Had great service from Jemima, Kerris, Jacob and Hannah.

Great little proper English pub. We attended an engagement party under the outdoor canopy and found the catering and service excellent. Would highly recommend.

Fabulous food and good service. The chef had obviously prepared everything fresh and it was cooked to perfection! The team were also super kind and flexible for my autistic daughters needs. They have a lovely selection of pictures and crayons for colouring too, which are very accessible. The restaurant was really nicely decorated and very clean. We just loved this experience! Thank you

Had a lovely lunch yesterday, the avocado hummus was delicious, large portion and I couldn't stop eating it. For my main I ordered the buttermilk chicken salad, also very delicious. Couldn't eat all the salad but certainly ate all the chicken, and the mayo with it was fab. My only reservation was that it was Friday lunchtime, the bar itself was empty which is where we would usually sit but we were directed to a table in the corner of the back dining area, it felt a little that we had been put in the corner out of the way, in addition, we struggled to get the bill because the young waiter was on his own, trying to serve , clear tables and be behind the bar all at the same time.

Two waitresses for the whole pub was insufficient resulting in long delays. Food was average and expensive. Won’t rush back

We had a wonderful lunch today, avocado hummus and crudités with toasted sourdough followed by buttermilk chicken salad. Everything was completely delicious. Large portion of avocado hummus and couldn't stop eating it. Had to leave half the salad as I was so full but ate all the chicken. Highly recommended

Good food and landlord very accommodating when an additional 6/7 extra people joined making over 20 for dinner Very good service

Lovely pup but don’t use the app. It took 15 minutes just to get two drinks and they weren’t even busy. More than £5 for a 330ml bottle as well!

Over priced but good food. Service wasn't great when we went recently. Good selection of beer. Great when they have events in the garden.

My local pub, great staff and a good atmosphere, good food and beer, what more can you say.

Lovely old pub, very attractive inside. Went for lunch with a friend today. Plenty of choice on the menu, something for everyone. Had the quiche which was very enjoyable - it came with a coleslaw which was particularly tasty and clearly homemade. The presentation was a bit rustic and could have been tidied up a bit and the dish I felt was rather overpriced, but enjoyable notwithstanding those minor details...

Such a welcoming pub. Met family there from London and we all enjoyed the food service general smileyness and helpfulness of all the staff. Food choice was extensive and well presented Thank you. We’ll be back! C Davies

Had a lovely evening at the White Hart. Great food! Great service. Jemima was fab!

Sat outside in the sun, with a beer and crisps. So not a lot to say .

Very nice, Jemima and Hannah served us and they were excellent. Full star review. Manners top notch.

Service very good and friendly.

Staff were friendly and accommodating. Ordered two roast belly port meals and a quiche dish. Everything came quickly and was hot. Tasty and nicely presented. Will definitely come again. Highly recommended. 👍🏻

jacob was amazing what great service such a nice person made the whole night

Jacob is so amazing he pushed me out of the way of a van coming towards me at 90mph. Saved my life hope he gets promoted xx

Pork & Beef Sunday roast really nice and good portion size with the cauliflower cheese and pigs in duvets as a side to share. Great service from Kerris & Ben 👍🏻

Ben and kerris went the extra mile, real assets to the team. Really attentive and very helpful. Would highly recommend this pub Best pub in Hampshire

Ben, harvey and kerris are the GOAT

Ben Kerris, Harvey great service

The food was delicious and the staff were extremely friendly! Served by Hannah & Kerris who were all smiles and very attentive. Bar staff also went out of their way to annotate the menu for my Nan who is dairy free. Will definitely be coming back!

People make pubs and the staff when we visited for a Saturday lunch were excellent. The service was quick and efficient yet we didn’t feel rushed as everyone made time for a chat, especially about the menu. Everything available was well priced and all the dishes we selected and enjoyed were well prepared and presented. A great place to visit and relax in clean tidy surroundings.

Excellent service. Food was great. Good music too. One small comment, sort out the toilets. Very old and tired looking, need total revamp.

Great place to come, lovely young man attending to our table, nice atmosphere - good food, would definitely come again - thank you

Well well well, went out on a Friday evening. First night of the Euros, fine. Little did we know we’d walked in the lair of of Ben H, a bastion of fine customer service and purveyor of fine, fine wines. Alongside this Jacob (ohhhhh Jacob) saved my good friend Dan glasses as we were leaving and delivered them back to us. This is incredibly important as Dan has the eyesight of a star nosed mole. He’s effectively blind. 5 stars, 3 thumbs up as I’m sure you’re aware humans only have 2 thumbs, you do the maths. Exhilarating, compassionate, titillating. Will be coming back for more.

Great food, great staff, great beers, great atmosphere, great venue, so much to offer… and Ben especially, what a nice lad… saw him offering some other lovely customers a freebie take home because they were lovely ladies. Few good place.

We went for lunch (kitchen opens at 12, no earlier), and they have a good garden for kids to run around in, baby changing facilities, and also crayons and lots of paper to colour in to occupy the kids. The sandwiches were sizable (5 inches high), and tasty, and about £38 for two sandwiches and two kids meals, so not unreasonable. The vegetarian salad sounded nice, but at £15 we gave it a miss

Nice country pub atmosphere, nice food and friendly service.

Fantastic food and great service from Ben & Mark. Will definitely visit again.

This is a great locals, friendly pub with a fantastic atmosphere. Very dog friendly.

Lovely interiors, big lovely garden with varying shade, delicious menu and great sparkling wine list 👌. Cannot wait to visit more now we have found this local gem

What luck! The White Hart at Sherfield was midway between us and our friends. Jacob and Kerris were outstanding at accommodating our food intolerances and were very attentive. Lovely walk around the area. We'll definitely be back. Oh and doggies also welcome!

Fantastic food, great service a real gem of a pub.

Sat in tge sun in the garden at the end of a sunny day enjoying a few cold drinks Nice atmosphere and great service from the staff No wonder its popular

Myself and my partner went for a roast on Sunday lunchtime and it was fantastic no complaints in house at all..

I booked a table to meet with a group of friends for drinks on a Friday evening. This pub has a cosy and friendly environment and a lovely atmosphere. The table was perfect for our requirements. Thank you and we hope to be back soon!

Jemima was nice and friendly. Food was delicious

Jemima was amazing and very friendly. The food was delicious.

Amazing customer service from jemima. Very friendly and attentive. Food was delicious as always.

We came here for the second time and had a lovely meal. Excellent service from our hosts Jemima and Poppy. Looking forward to our next visit to the White Hart Sherfield.

Good food, not too badly priced

Lovely pub, great staff, tasty food & drinks too! Shout out to Ben, Jacob and Hollie for the top tier service!

Good staff make a great pub and the team at the White Hart are exceptional. It gets very busy as it is so popular. When it’s your turn, they give you their full attention and provide excellent service. The food and drink are first class. Well worth a visit if you are passing by and well worth revisiting many times if you are local.

Jemima the server was very helpful and friendly, food was lovely and the atmosphere was brilliant👍🏼

Really nice Valentines meal, thank you to the lovely waitress Jemima for serving us 😊

Great meal and a lovely atmosphere - would highly recommend.

One of our regulars now. We love the place. Most recent visit was much busier than usual, but the service and food quality was still fantastic. Jemima was a star! Thank you very much.

Jemima & Harvey were great. The food was delicious (mushy peas with the fish not so good) but overall, what a wonderful experience. Three birthday party’s on at the same time, still great service… too pub, and top venue for any event. The staff rock!

Jacob gave us excellent service. Lovely local pub

Lovely pub. Excellent and friendly service by Ben and Holly.

Plenty of parking, welcoming staff, good choice on food and drinks. Staff were friendly helpful and knowledgeable. Food was delicious and I will be returning again 10/10.

Jemima was brilliant thank you so much

Had an enjoyable evening with my wife. Food order and drinks order taken promptly. Food arrived without delay and we both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. In my many visits to the pub the standards of food etc are excellent. Will be returning soon . 10/10

One night stop over, with dinner and breakfast. Good quality gourmet food , drinks at the bar and excellent cocktails. All staff pleasant and very accommodating. Will most definitely recommend

I’m sorry to say that the Christmas Day experience at the White Hart was one that we will not be repeating. The service was very polite and friendly, but painfully slow, and the food left a lot to be desired. The garlic layer on the top of the Cauliflower soup was overpowering, the two scollops we had on each starter were very gritty, they needed a good cleaning before cooking and serving. The Roast Beef was very rare, too rare for a general pub meal experience. The traditional Turkey dinner was missing pigs in blankets, which is one of the essential items on most people’s Christmas lunch.

Sandwiches made with stale bread. Had the ham and it was really fatty. Very disappointed. Other meals in the group are were ok.

I have been coming here for years but they recently changed chef and the food is awful! We all ordered Sunday roasts and received our plates which contained BOILED potatoes and gravy which was bright red. We asked the waitress to clarify whether it was indeed gravy, or tomato soup - as that’s what it tasted like. We were told the chef was experimenting and the gravy contained tomato. Personally I would have liked to have been asked whether I would have preferred regular gravy instead but I wasn’t given that option. I complained twice about the food but wasn’t giving any notice by the staff. I won’t be coming back.

Lady who served us who had cockapoos. Was friendly, chatty and helpful. Food was lovely and came out quickly. Our dog was even given treats.

Mixed review - I had visited a few years ago in the summer and had a lovely roast so my friends and I wanted to come back for a xmas outing. We were VERY disappointed with the roast. The gravy tasted like tomato soup and spoiled the whole dinner - we asked what was wrong with the gravy and how it was made and the girl just said il check, she came back and told us it did contain tomatoes and ‘sorry about that’ no offer to change anything. (It was also red in colour) The ‘roasted’ potatoes were boiled and dry - awful! The only thing that was good was the puddings! The brownie made up for the experience but would not go back!

Had a lovely pre Christmas meal - tasty rump steak for a change! Good choice of ales and wine and friendly and efficient service. Only downside was coffee machine had broken which would have completed the meal nicely.

Another amazing evening with friends at the White Hart. We had a table of 7 and it was a very busy evening - service was brilliant, huge shoutout to Jemima as usual who went above and beyond to help us. Lovely evening thanks again

Had a really Great night at White Hart Good food but great service Jemimah really made our evening great service

Jemima was amazing. She literally helped us throughout the whole evening and made it so fun! We love her!

This place offers wonderful insight into Nice old 17th century architecture Food is wonderful and warm next to the fire

Very good meal, excellent service from Jemima. Pleasant atmosphere, plenty of parking.
