White Hart in Wiltshire

Very expensive beer at £6.50 a pint, I normally pay £4.50 for it. The fish pie I ordered was dry and 80% mashed potatoes, I did find a little fish at the bottom but without any sauce. Others in the party complained about their poor food. I'm not going back.

Brilliant service and a lovely roast, all in an idyllic location. Thank you x

Great spot. Beautiful place great staff and foo.

Incredible service and very nice food - went for a midday lunch whilst on a hike and were welcomed into the lovely atmospheric dining area of the pub. Food is very reasonably priced with a great portion size the fish tasted incredibly fresh with a crispy batter and soft flaky texture. Very friendly staff which you can tell put in a lot of effort to maintain the premises and actually care about the pub. The decor is minimal with great small details with large enough tables for a big family - visited 11/11/24 and every member of staff was brilliant. Will be back again - many thanks ! May be one of my favourite pubs in the country.

Gorgeous pub. My wife and I both had the pie of the day (pork and apple). I don't say this flippantly, but it was probably the best pie I've ever had. And I've had some pies. Breathtaking. British cuisine at its best.

Great food, plenty of it & good service.

A fantastic Sunday roast in a quaint village setting.

Popped in for a late Sunday lunch while passing through on our way back from a day out. Not having booked a table, the staff at the White Hart were very accommodating when we asked if they were still serving food and if they could fit us in. The Sunday roast we had was great, with the portion sizes being very generous. Great drinks selection, welcoming and helpful staff with a great atmosphere to boot.

Just had a fantastic Sunday roast at the White Hart, delicious food, tasty ales and wonderful service. The dogs were welcomed in too which was nice and they had their own little treats. Plenty of parking and some great footpaths and quiet lanes for a walk after lunch. Will definitely be heading back. FYI I had the roast beef and it was mega!

Had a fab dinner at the white hart. Staff friendly, food fresh and tasty.

Lovely meal and lovely atmosphere! Had a wonderful evening with friends.

Beautiful setting, lovely people, great food. Our wet Labrador was also made to feel welcome! We will be back!

Sadly my stay here was just a one night affair. However, the guys at reception (I'm not sure they were both supposed to be there) couldn't have made me more welcome. There was a great atmosphere all around, ample free parking, and a river that runs through the grounds that is so relaxing to watch and listen too.

A super nice hotel and pub in a wonderful natural setting. Rooms tastefully decorated and very clean. Great breakfast. We also had the opportunity to have dinner and we loved it. But best of all, the friendliness of the staff. A highly recommended site. I hope to return!

Great atmosphere and plenty of space. Staff very attentive and menu reasonably priced with a good selection of good quality food including vegetarian.

Very good service, great food, we were made to feel very welcome.

Food so good I could eat it all day, pork belly followed by the desert to share. Service felt genuine and no request turned down. We'll be back. I've now eaten here several times and not been disappointed once. Highly recommended.

Lovely setting. Good service. Menu was a little dull and fish pie only seemed to contain smoked haddock. Toilets would benefit from refurbishment / good clean.

A wonderful place to stay and or enjoy the restaurant. Great service, personable, spotless and uniquely decorated rooms. The staff are both professional and personable-a lost art today. Harold B USA

We had a family gathering today, and we always meet at this pub. Why! The setting is fantastic, and the food is amazing, portion sizes are great but the quality is even better! A pub that is getting things right is hard to find, and these guys are smashing it.

A fantastic pub in a spectacular setting, with lovely food and outstanding service…

In the Cotswolds, beneath skies so bright, The White Hart welcomed us for lunch, just right. Twenty-seven gathered, eager to see, What the Pie of the Day might possibly be. For days we wondered, would it be bold? The answer: steak and mushroom, a tale well told. A curious blend that none thought of first, But one savory bite and all fears dispersed. The fish and chips, golden, crisp delight, Baked Camembert, warm, a gooey sight. The staff were kind, so friendly, so sweet, Attentive to all, they couldn’t be beat. And when dessert came—oh, what a dream! Sticky toffee pudding with a caramel gleam. We left full of joy, bellies content, From a magical lunch we’ll never forget.

We had an amazing lunch here. Food was delicious, beautiful location. Service was spot on and staff were really friendly and accommodating.

Just a lovely country pub with a great outdoors, delicious food and excellent service. Would definitely recommend the fish and chips.

Fantastic 16th Century historic English Inn. Lovely welcome and great food at reasonable prices

Nice pub had a ploughman's lunch. Much more than expected will definitely be going again

The location is fabulous, next to a stream, the building lovely, the food excellent and the staff helpful and friendly. We had a perfect lunch here. Many customers were enjoying what's left of the summer outside in the courtyard and garden while we enjoyed a table inside with a view of the stone bridge over the river.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable meal (don’t miss out on the breads) served professionally with a never-ending smile by Hattie.. the sum of which brightened our day! History, location, charm, food and service.. all at a fair price. We’ll be back!

We visited the pub for a celebratory meal on Saturday lunchtime. The location and pub itself is absolutely beautiful. However, we had a very poor experience of food and service which we were quite surprised about considering the reviews we read. Some of us had the mussels to start: they were full of grit and very crunchy! When the starter dishes were collected, I mentioned this to the server. It was barely acknowledged. The main courses were mostly traditional pub food which was pretty standard. I had the hake dish which was so disappointing. The piece of hake was absolutely tiny and so overcooked and the samphire was inedible due the stalkiness. These issues would not usually cause me to write a negative review but at no point, did any member of staff ask how our meal was and when I did give the feedback about the mussels, it was as good as ignored. We paid over £300 for our meal for 6 which is a huge amount of money when you leave feeling disappointed. Normally I tell the world and his wife if we have a good experience somewhere but I wouldn't recommend The White Hart.

Great walk from castle coombe followed by a great pub lunch.

38yrs ago we spent our honeymoon here & today we came back for lunch 😊 just as we remembered

Outstanding staff, from those checking us in to the waitresses and bar staff. All extremely helpful, polite & welcoming. Excellent food and fantastic drinks selection. Would recommend and stop again!

Good for a pint after walking back from Castle Combe.

Originally had a 7:30pm booking but moved it to 8:45pm after issues with a flight. The booking was confirmed and there was still times available after this on the website. We phoned ahead to tell them we were still on our way and was asking if we could put our order in because we suspected the kitchen would be closing relatively soon. One of the staff, he told us that the kitchen had just closed and they were no longer doing food!! As an ex-hospitality worker of 6 years, if you’re going to take bookings up until 9pm, your kitchen SHOULD NOT be closed until those bookings have either been seated or were no-shows. Absolutely appalling in my opinion, and don’t think I will ever try going back there.

This place used to be so good..... We came back for a much anticipated Sunday roast to celebrate my 60th birthday and it was awful. SO disappointed. The vegetables weren't just a little crunchy, but totally raw, and the vegetarian Wellington was horrible. Did the chef seriously taste this stuff first...really nasty

Visiting friends at nearby village, so called in for lunch at the White Hart Ford. Great to be able to park so easily, a very warm welcome, and throughout our time staff were friendly and very helpful. Food was simply delicious, our choice sausage and mash, beautifully cooked and piping hot. Will certainly visit again.

We went to the White Hart halfway through a circular walk from Castle Combe through glorious countryside in the sunshine. A warm welcome from the staff and two tasty courses each for lunch at an outside table by the river. Good value for money, we came away feeling very pleased with our experience and I’d go back without hesitation. Highly recommended.

Beautiful pub in an awesome location. Food and service great.

Beautiful setting! Many errors in service, very long wait without it being busy. Food was good.

Very long wait , due to poor service and forgetting menus. Main fish meal dry and baked, veg not fresh, dessert better, took 2 hours to get main and dessert

A very quaint riverside character pub. Very nice food cooked by a chef! Friendly helpful staff. Food is competitively priced. Teas,coffee & a range of non-alcoholic beverages available for the designated driver.

Lovely country pub with a nice stream running out the back, service was great atmosphere was great too.

Beautiful picturesque pub perfect on a summers day! Their service was spot on, super friendly, efficient, and I felt like they cared about their customers satisfaction. It’s a nice change from the city. The menu has a nice selection of typical pub grub dishes and they do the Sunday roasts ❤️ The calming atmosphere was perfect, with plenty of outdoor seating and they have tables situated by the canal. I love pretty pubs like these, this is truly a gem. It was just what we needed, very peaceful.

Have eaten here several times now and each time there has been something wrong with the food, the first time it was so salty it was inedible, another time the fries had deep fried insects with them, another time the mussels were I a very strange sauce and quite a few were off. However worst of all, a few of the wait staff are incredibly rude. Such a shame because the pub itself and the location are superb

Lovely food and really helpful staff. We came in at 9pm last night and although the kitchen was closing staff went above and beyond to get us some main courses to enjoy. Very much appreciated!

An absolute gem of a pub especially when you get to sit outside on a sunny day - if carlsberg invented pubs … Great food, amazing wine list and beer selection

Absolutely lovely restaurant, great service, very fair pricing. We went there with our 3 kids and our dog and the staff was super friendly despite it obviously being a crazy busy evening.

amazing hotel and restaurant with cozy garden , established in 1553

Perfect spot to sit and enjoy a drink in this quaint area.

We went for lunch it was perfect. The team is lovely.

A delightful evening with delicious food and greatly impressive service. White hart will forever be one of my most favourite pubs.This is especially because of the ambience, atmosphere and the friendliness delivered by Stuart.

Stuart and other staff were friendly and attentive. The food was good and portions really generous. We would come again.

Our waiter Stuart was awesome!!! He helped me navigate my gluten allergy to make sure I found a tasty and safe meal. He delivered quick and knowledgable service. A true pleasure, if you have Stuart you’re in great hands.

A fantastic place to stay in the accommodation opposite the pub. Clean, cosy & quiet. The pub was also fabulous with a country feel & cosy. Met the local resident - Matilda the boar’s head above the fireplace. Really nice welcoming staff. Highly recommend.

One of the best places i have been to for food. The bar staff service was amazing. Stuart and Thomas have been exemplary through out. An amazing example of how you should be hosted. Management should commend them for the outstanding service delivered.

What an absolutely beautiful pub!!! The buildings/layout/location are just lovely - so picturesque and serene. We had lunch outside in the courtyard by the river, and it was excellent. Went with the burger with triple cooked chips. I have eaten many pub burgers, but this was one of the - if not best I have had. It was great quality and well presented. The triple cooked chips were perfect - crunchy and golden on the outside and fluffy white in the middle. The staff were very friendly and polite, and service was speedy. We found this by pure accident, and although a good hundred miles from home, I can't wait to visit again!

We arrived 6.15 we were served with drinks very pleasant hostess. Very clean beautiful surroundings It took a while for her to come back & take our food order, & even longer to get our food it arrived at 7.25pm we were all staving by then When I inquired how longer our food would be The hostess replied we have lots of people in the garden! I said Oh ! One of our party had the special beef stroganoff basically Huge plate of purple rice not much else

We have been to the white hart many times as it’s our local, and several times we have dined here with no issues. We’ve always loved the atmosphere and friendliness of the staff, it’s been well styled inside and out and dogs are welcomed with open arms! We went for dinner on Friday and whilst we appreciate it wasn’t the waiting staff’s fault, the service was incredibly slow. Upon entering at 7:30pm we overheard a staff member say it was a 30 minute wait on food. This was no problem. However after being seating and ordering at just before 8, we received the starter at 8:10ish and then waited until 9:10 for the main course. We had noted that others around us who had arrived later were receiving their food in the meantime and were a little bit disappointed. Despite this, we enjoyed the food (as usual!) and had the opportunity to buy many drinks while we waited! We love this pub so much and go to support them whenever we can, we just hope that the service could be a bit speedier in the future. Thank you, we did have a fun evening and love the overall atmosphere as well as range of drinks on offer!

Sunday Roast, absolutely fabulous.

Tamas, Josh and the waitress (didn’t catch her name) really, really, excelled themselves tonight. The food, service and in house experience really made me and my family feel welcome. We have been here a fair few times for food, drinks and their beer scenic beer garden. I will definitely be returning, thanks to the team and their hospitality.

Probably my favourite pub in the world. Great food, great location, nearby Castle Combe and some great country walks. Staff are really nice and the chocolate brownie is to die for!! What's not to love? And there's a beer garden with it's own paddling stream for hot summer days!

Thought Castle Combe would be a nice halfway meeting point to catch up with my family for an early Father's Day lunch yesterday. I'm so glad I found this gorgeous pub just 5 mins away in the village of Ford. The White Hart is stunning to look at and in a gorgeous riverside setting. The food was very nice and large portions plus the staff were lovely, friendly and attentive. Will definitely visit again soon and plan to stay overnight so we can have a few drinks in the beautiful surroundings.

Our 1stvtime eating here but it won't be the last if that is anything to go by. Great food, excellent service, and very friendly and welcoming staff.

We booked the White Hart in Ford, by accident. The happiest of accidents it turned out to be! The hotel, the grounds, the restaurant and the service were all exceptional. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. We were made to feel so welcome, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and I must say, Tomas made the BEST coffee I had in the UK (apparently I am a coffe snob!). The room was glorious, our meals were some of the best we experienced in 5 weeks (UK, Italy and France), the prices were very reasonable. Not to mention the stunning buildings and scenery. If I could give 10 stars, I would. I only wish we'd stayed an extra night instead of heading up to The Frogmill the following night ( twice the price, half the service and whilst pretty, the friendliness, atmosphere and welcoming nature and excellent food was all lacking severely in comparison to The White Hart). We've already decided we'll be back next time we make the trek from Australia to the UK. If you're thinking about it, just book it, you won't regret it!! ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

Lovely Sunday roast with the family. Delicious food and great service in beautiful pub.

The location is amazing cause it’s right in the middle and you can’t skip it but the service could be better.

Appalling service this afternoon 8/6. Waited fifteen minutes at the bar for service as a young and inexperienced staff member struggled with a refund to a customer. A more senior staff member came to the bar and I asked him to serve me. He refused as he , “ was in the restaurant and were a bit light today”. I asked him if that was a no and he said, “Yes”. However I still had to pay the full price for this contempt. We are local. Not tourists. The customer is not always right at the White Hart on Ford. Btw. The pub was not busy in the bar or restaurant. A pity. One bad customer experience reveals the true attitude of the place.

Great pub with a nice restaurant and a lovely outside sitting area by the river. Dog friendly too.

My family and I visited restaurant and we can highly recommend the food. Great Sunday roast!

What an absolute gem! My husband and I wanted someplace close to Castle Combe and this was not only affordable, but so clean and adorable inside. Parking was ample, and we had a full English breakfast included with our stay which was excellent and prompt. Checkin was easy! I loved this classic little B&B and would definitely recommend.

Unexpected find on our way back to our holiday accommodation. Great location on the river. Good food, helpful staff and nice eating area outside

I have been bringing friends here for over 10 years and have always loved the food and the service however the service today was poor to say the least. First of all we were asked if we wanted drinks before having the opportunity to look at the menus, which isn't a problem itself, but when I asked if they had a white zinfandel (which is very rarely anything other than a rose), I was told yes. What arrived was a white wine that was not white zinfandel nor the zinfandel they had on the menu (which was a red) so I said I didn't want it. I then had an incredibly rude and space invasive manager over my back snatching the wine menu from me and shoving the paper version of it in front of me saying that a white zinfandel was not a rose but was a red (which wasn't what brought out anyway). What was most amusing is that he spoke to me as if I knew nothing about wine not knowing that I actually hold a WSET L2 award. Secondly, no starter cutlery was given to us, nor was our cutlery replaced when mains arrived. On top of that, two of our party require gluten free and were upset to see that the only dessert options were ice cream or affogato (ice cream with coffee). Disappointing and embarrassing as I suggested that we went there for our lunch. I believe there was a recent change in staff and management and it's a shame the place now has rude and unknowledgeable people there

Very nice pub, friendly staff would recommend

Lovely place, nicely located with great service! The waitress and her daughter were very friendly and we had a lovely chat plus good English food.

Great pub, friendly staff and delicious food. Plant burger was so good.

Dear Management, I am writing to express my extreme disappointment with the treatment my friends and I received at your establishment on May 8th. Despite our excitement to dine at White Hart, our experience was marred by unprofessionalism and disrespect from your staff. Upon arrival, we admittedly did not have a dinner reservation, which was our oversight. However, we initially intended to enjoy drinks before dining. Despite our polite inquiries about ordering drinks, we were met with eye rolls and dismissive behavior from your staff. We were directed to the bar in a manner that lacked any semblance of courtesy. Furthermore, when we inquired about the possibility of dining at your restaurant, we were abruptly told that it was not an option. This response was not only discourteous but also lacked professionalism. Despite the apparent lack of business, as evidenced by numerous empty tables, we were denied service without any valid explanation. Throughout our brief interaction with your staff, we felt unwelcome and unwanted. The recurring eye rolls and insistence for us to leave immediately further reinforced this sentiment. As paying customers, we expected to be treated with basic respect and courtesy, which were clearly absent during our visit. It is deeply concerning that such behavior is tolerated within your establishment. As patrons, we deserve to feel valued and appreciated, regardless of whether we have made a reservation. I sincerely hope that this feedback prompts a reassessment of your staff's conduct and a commitment to ensuring a more welcoming environment for all customers in the future.

Had a lovely Sunday Roast, great service and really good food.

Great food, well served, Straightforward honest and decent.

We spent one night in this Hotel and we were really sad that we just booked it for one night. It was so romantic and beautiful in Ford. The rooms were super cozy and the whole place was just enchanting. The service was excellent! They were all so friendly and kind. We also ate breakfast there which was very delicious. We are definetly coming back soon and plan on staying longer! I really recommend this place for a cozy quiet stay!🥰 thanks to the staff who made us feel very welcomed!🤍

Booked a lunch for 3 people - quite a late lunch (3:45) and the service was coming to an end. Unfortunately we waited about 20 mins for a pint and 2 glasses of wine; i had to ask for water twice, my food wasn't what I ordered and it was cold. My dad's steaks was super salty and chewy and mum's fish and chips was mediocre. No tip left!

Stopped for a late lunch and a drink. The location is amazing and so is the food, but we had to wait about 40-50 minutes to get it.

Stunning setting and views. The staff and service was great- especially the lady who worked there! Very welcoming and friendly. Great food and beverage choices. Could easily spend the day here as it’s so relaxing!

Good food, but really really expensive and they took more than an hour to bring our food when the place was not really busy

Great food pleasant surroundings friendly, helpful and efficient staff/service

Great pub and lovely food. Very friendly staff.

The wonderful room, with the charm of the area but all the modern comforts. Details such as the Bluetooth speaker, good tea and coffee, excellent sheets and towels... a pleasure are appreciated. We were able to use the Sunday Stays deal and the price for dinner in their pub, overnight and breakfast was great. It is quite isolated but close to places that were very convenient for us and has parking.

I have lunch here. The food so good and the view is amazing (river along the restaurant)

By chance passing and called in for food. Lovely spot, staff very friendly and helpful.Food was spot on and a nice variety without being fussy or overly complicated. If in area will definitely visit again.

Awesome setting in a dreamy location by a flowing stream that was complimented by professional and kind service of tasty and delicious meal.

Beautiful place, beautiful stay, amazing location. So so good.

Having just had a two night stay at this coaching inn for our anniversary I can only say how lovely everything was. Nothing was too much trouble for our hosts and we ate there both nights- the food was fresh and very tasty- ver enjoyable experience. The inn is very close to Bath as well- definitely recommend

Highly recommended, nice place to be, good food and sypathic athmosphere

We just dropped in for a drink on the way back to the b&b after a busy day great atmosphere. Love the dogs in the pub.

What a wonderful day we had . The food was excellent as was the service… beautifully served attention to detail … and attentive staff … Clean throughout… it was just the perfect setting and a perfect day … thank you to Kevin for making our day so memorable

Great pub in a fantastic area, friendly staff, great Young's ales, food is supposed to be incredible too

Nobody interested when we arrived For a Saturday place was half empty which was surprising as used to be very popular Food was a long time coming from a basic menu. Chicken pie was child size and beetroot tart overcooked. Only vegetable was kale. Such a shame as beautiful venue but shan’t return until much improved

Stunning place, very comfy beds, has all you need. Food is amazing! Will definitely be booking to stay again soon.

Perfect half way point for a walk from Castle Coombe, away from the hordes of tourists! Easy to book online. Dog and child friendly. Varied menu that caters for every need. Friendly service. Reasonably priced top quality food with fresh ingredients. Warm seating inside or large beer garden area, with ample parking. Will definitely visit again.

Dining only. Nice surroundings inside and out, pleasant staff and good food.

I stumbled across the White Hart by chance, it came up as a good mid way meeting place for a family get together. The venue and food looked good online but it far exceeded my expectations. The food was great, service very attentive and the overall atmosphere was fab. The bits that actually stood out to me were the little touches, for example in the baby changing rooms theres spare nappies and clothes incase you get caught short. I’ve dine out ALOT but have only seen this one other place, it just makes you feel very welcome. I’ll definitely be returning again. I have no doubt this place will be equally as wonderful in the summer with the outside tables near the running water, as it was currently with the warm cosy log burner. Thanks for a great overall experience and keep up the family friendly vibes.
