White Hart in Wiltshire

A great place for a family Sunday lunch, good food, lovely surroundings and great service, thank you

Such a find, lovely food and atmosphere. Just off the A420. Try to drop in, it is worth it. Moderate food prices. Fish and Chips £18.

Booked a large group for lunch over a month in advance then told on the day that the group couldn’t be accommodated on one table inside or out, despite the restaurant being virtually empty. Ended up on two tables in different parts of the restaurant. If we had been told this at the time of booking we would’ve tried elsewhere. Asked to pre order a week in advance, then when the food arrived many of the orders were wrong and/or replaced with a different dish without anyone asking us. Some staff were rude, dismissive and unhelpful from the start. Such a shame as the building, location and food is good.

Came here for a bite to eat, same as our previous visit.. Outstanding service great quality food very friendly staff, great gardens highly recomend this little gem of a place. Better to book to avoid disappointment, thanks to all the team for looking after us and a special thanks to the chefs who you don't see working there magic back of house 👍

We had a great time here. My wife and I really enjoyed our dinner. I loved the asparagus and wild garlic risotto!

Arrived at 5:50 to do our kids dinner to an empty pub but told they couldn’t serve us food because they had lots of people about to come in. Just flat out refused, as far as I could see no one was arriving immediately and the kitchen weren’t doing anything. So rude and frustrating

Beautiful place and delicious food, would definitely go again!

Lovely food, lovely setting especially on a sunny day. We will definitely be coming back.

The main structure was built in 1553 and still has the cotswaldian stone roof. It was originally a mill and is situated beside a little brook with ducks and fish and flowers growing alongside. The room we stayed in was spacious, cosy, and luxurious. The bar has a great selection of beer on tap. I had the best latte I’ve ever had in my life in the morning before we left. The staff, especially Stewart, were absolutely lovely. It was such a lovely retreat.

Great pub. Friendly service, large and delicious portions and a lovely location by the river. We come a lot on walks.

Went for Sunday roast which was surprisingly quiet. Beautiful building, bar and restaurant. Unwelcoming barmaid, no smile. Food was ok, chicken was tough, beef was good though children assure me. No check back to see if our food was ok, had to go to them for more gravy. It’s been with Young’s for a while now so not as pricey, or good but still in gorgeous surroundings. Forgot to take pics, sorry

Service was impeccable and food was delicious. This was our second time and will not be our last. Beer wasn’t too bad either

This hotel stay was a special present from my husband to fulfil a bucket list wish to attend cross country day at badminton Horse trials. It was a 3.5 hr drive from home so we stayed 2 nights but the hotel itself the staff the food wine and rooms were all exemplary. The interiors of the main building are lovely with the moody period paint colours stone fireplaces and comfy nooks and squishy chairs to sit. The outside is as lovely as the interiors with a stream running close by and under a lovely old bridge and areas to sit in the courtyard or on the stream banks. Gorgeous ambience. Totally recommend

Beautiful garden, fantastic food and Aspall cider - what more could you ask for

It’s a lovely location, but the food was such a let down. Bland and overpriced, shame!!

Great over night stay .lovely clean room great good .friendly helpful staff. Nice beer garden

It's a great pub with a beautiful location and delicious food! The customer service is great, but it is a bit slow (it is not easy to run a hospitality business nowadays), so I won't judge here as the food is great. Thank you for having us on my dad's birthday.

We had a lovely meal for 4 people. Service was very friendly and meals were tasty. We had fish & chips, burger and linguine. The boys said the chips are the best. Dessert to recommend are brownies and rice pudding!

We enjoyed an excellent lunch together with very friendly service.

Gorgeous location, interior lovely, garden lovely with a brook running through the middle. The makings of a great pub. A friendly welcome from the front of house staff. Unfortunately we were left bitterly disappointed with the food. We ordered a MR steak which came out Medium/Well, complete lack of seasoning, thin watery sauce. The summer salad lacked half of the advertised ingredients, was essentially a bowl of quinoa with a dry chicken breast on top, again, no seasoning. The cost of the food and drinks I would say was above average for the area, which you are happy to pay if it’s a good meal, but it really wasn’t. I’m not one for bad reviews, but I think something needs to change here. To make matters worse, it was my birthday!

Great Pub, with helpful and friendly staff. The new team are bedding in, making changes for the better and its hoped by the locals are in it for the long term! Please in future let your regulars know if you are closing for a private event. I know commercially we are not important but it would have saved the trip. Your web site stated you were open as usual. Thanks.

Beautiful pub in an amazing location. Excellent staff, great choice of beer and the food was divine.

We had a pleasant lunch and staff were helpful and friendly. Good menu - choices to suit most tastes. Pavlova was a great hit. 😊

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

I booked this hotel for three nights and paid in full in advance. The first night was great — the staff were kind, professional, and everything felt welcoming. However, on the second night, I went to visit another town and returned to the hotel at 10:45 PM. To my shock, the entire hotel was completely shut down. Every door was locked. There was no one at reception, no staff, no instructions, nothing. I had no access to the building I had paid for. I called the police — no answer. I called the hotel — no one picked up. I was alone and stuck outside. After a long and stressful search, I finally discovered that the back door to the hotel was unlocked, and with some effort, I managed to push it open and get back to my room. Once inside, I realized I was the only person in the hotel — no staff, no security, no one. The hotel had zero safety measures, which is completely unacceptable. I am staying here for two more nights, which are already paid for, but I am extremely disappointed and concerned. If anything had happened to me during that time, the hotel would be fully responsible. How can a hotel — especially on a Saturday night — have no one at the front desk after 10:45 PM? And if that’s their policy, why wasn’t I told in advance that I needed to return before a certain hour? There is no communication, no support, and no security. This level of negligence is shocking and absolutely unacceptable.

Had a very good experience!! Good food !! Decent staff!! Nice ambiance!!

Met with a friend for a meal and had a thoroughly good evening. The food was delicious and the service very good, leaving us alone to chat but attending to our needs when necessary. Would definitely go again.

We had to wait 1 hour and 35 minutes for our food when arriving at 12.45 on Good Friday (pre-booked). No apologies or updates were given, and when we asked for them to check the statues of the food we were told "it's the kitchens being slow, not me". For reference, we had bread as a starter, and four mains - unfortunately the pasta main was dry and clumped. This is the second time I've been here, and although slow, the overall experience this time was terrible. Another couple was openly told their pre-booked table was not available for another hour as they'd taken to many walk ins. Amazing building in an amazing location, and the food was good, but hard is it to get food out in under 95 minutes?!?!!

Everything’s wonderful! Staff Is super kind, the room is cozy, cream and warm and the food is lovely!

What a fabulous find while we were out exploring the area, an absolutely beautiful setting, great food, a good selection of drinks, dog friendly, child friendly, warm staff on front of house, we will be back, thank you

Had a fantastic and relaxing stay at White Hart for the weekend. A beautiful venue, fabulous room (super comfy bed), great food and very welcoming, friendly staff. Looking forward to coming back again as the location is perfect for Bristol and Bath. Thank you for having us. ❤️

Lovely beer garden, had a great meal and drinks with family. Really friendly staff who where happy to help

A great day at the White Hart. Sat out in the sun to enjoy a good meal. I had the beef burger which was Devine. The others had sausages and mash and the sausages were good (I’m not sure they were top quality though they were tasty). One of us had linguini with crab which she found low in flavour. I liked my burger a lot and would have it again happily!

This is a beautiful pub in a great location on the Bye-Brook. We had a lovely meal with friends and the Ales were exellent.

Food was absolutely disgusting, such a shame as the location is so nice

The place is charming, the food is good, the service is very good and the room is wonderful. The bed is really good. I hope to return.

A lovely warm welcome from Olena . The food was amazing 👏 Highley recommend the pie & bread & butter pudding . I wish I could take the chef home with me 😆 All the staff take pride in there work. Beautiful surroundings

Excellent food, wonderful atmosphere and great service. Highly recommended. We'll definitely be visiting again. Thank you.

Had a beautiful stay at the white hart inn! The room was lovely, super clean and spacious. Location was perfect surrounding by peaceful countryside 😍 breakfast was also super tasty! Highly recommend! We will be back! ❤️

Lovely Cotswolds pub. Good food & friendly staff. We will come again.

Idyllic spot but the food was disappointing. The beetroot hummus barely tasted of beetroot and the large dollop of mashed potato that came with the chicken breast was tasteless and reminded me of Smash (reconstituted potato). Dessert was good and the service excellent but let down by the food. I did feed this back to the chef and I hope they do better next time as it really is a lovely old pub.

Don’t stay but visited before a business meeting and booked a table for breakfast. 🍳 🥓 . Great breakfast and really friendly welcome. Great looking place with a traditional country pub vibe in a really nice rural setting. Plenty of parking. Will definitely pop in for a beer if I am passing again.

Fantastic character pub, in a beautiful setting. Super clean and tidy inside, only thing I would say, is the price of the food is a bit dearer then others

Went for a lovely lunch with my friend for my birthday, and got served by the lovely Stuart, who gave fantastic service! The food was also 10/10! Would recommend!

Amazing food very friendly staff, beautiful location

We had a lunch in a pub. It was So delicious! The staff were very kind and helpful. Very recommend it!

Absolutely fabulous Sunday lunch - possibly the best burger I have ever had in the UK (and this coming from a fussy, South African meat eater!) The service was so friendly and welcoming...and our two doggos were made to feel VERY welcome, what a win! Thank you! We'll be back!

Yes, it's a nice old pub in a beautiful setting. Also on a nice circular walk from and to Castle Combe. We stopped for refreshment around lunchtime, and were greeted by a very exuberant young lady offering a seat in the restaurant. When we declined we were ushered into the bar area and left to wait for 10 minutes or more to be served - there was no sign of other customers. When eventually served, the drinks and bar snacks were fine. Lovely spot but please don't sideline your customers, which is how I felt.

A small group of long-standing friends meet from time to time for lunch at this lovely location adjoining a brook just south of Castle Combe. The ambience is very pleasant and the food was good with all main dishes under £20. The member of staff who served us gave us excellent service. Very happy to recommend this venue.

All time favourite dog friendly place to stay. The staff were so accommodating to our little pooch…. Setting him a place at the table and giving him his own sausage at breakfast. Very nice food. Great beer garden in a gorgeous location by the river. Found a nice walk up into the woods close by. Perfect location. Not far from CastleCombe and Bibury. Two other stunning villagers. Rooms decorated in great style. Knocked off a star as the bedding wasn’t the best. But otherwise, hugely recommend this place especially if you are travelling with your pooch!

Had enjoyable lunch, service was good our server was very jolly and helpful.

A lovely venue and a great Sunday lunch with friends. Food was perfect and the staff more than friendly. Will be back soon.

Such a beautiful pub is a great location! It was great to have the option of lovely country walks and the bustle of Bath and Bristol all within close distance of the pub. Beer was great, food was really good, clean room, comfy bed, literally the only negative I can say is the shower was small and very noisy! Overall though, I would highly recommend this beautiful pub for a little getaway.

Whilst the Sunday lunch was lovely. Parking was a nightmare!! We were informed on arrival even though we booked in advance that the car park is used by walkers which meant we were 20 minutes late for our 2hr time slot booking. We were a group of 7 adults. We skipped starters due to the time constraint but were then informed 15 minutes before the end of our 2hr slot which was actually 1:40hr, that we couldn’t have dessert because we had run out of time. Disappointing given this was a birthday meal. Unfortunately we shall not be returning.

We had a wonderful 2 night stay at The White Hart Inn! We were warmly welcomed and thoroughly looked after by all staff. The rooms were clean and comfortable with beautiful serene surroundings. We went on a lengthy walk from the pub up to Castle Combe and back down through the village of Long Dean that was absolutely stunning. Highly recommend a stay here to slow down and enjoy nature, would love to be back in the warmer months to enjoy the outdoors of the pub and the surrounding area.

A lovely quaint pub in the countryside. The food was mostly nice, however my fish pie was luke warm...tasty but not cooked long enough. Bizarrely I couldn't actually get my legs under the table. i can't be the first person to notice this. I'm tall, but not large and the chair felt too high. I had to sit with my legs splayed ( i did tell one of the staff and we tried a few other chairs but they were all the same height). However the staff were all very pleasant, and everyone thought the food was nice, just not amazing.

Did not stay here but food is excellent

Arrived at the pub today after a 3 hour dog walk wanting some lunch before we headed home. Went in to the restaurant asking for a table of four and was told there was no space even though multiple tables were clear. Bought drinks and decided what to order and were given menus to order, then went to the bar to order and was told they weren’t serving food due to multiple orders and a lack of staff. We should have been told this when we arrived as we wouldn’t have purchased drinks costing us £17. Really poor experience and we left feeling very disappointed. Restaurant missed out on 4 customers and us ever returning again.

We didn't have the chance to spend the night at White Hart and see the rooms. But still we had a great meal at White Hart Inn and the people who served us were lovely.

The quality of the food is truly excellent, you eat very well. Marked attention and kindness stand out both in those who run the business and in the service staff. Joy and Beauty in the magical place of Castle Combe. Unfortunately I cannot give an opinion on the rooms, because we were not staying in the place, which has convenient parking. Satisfied in every way!

Sadly not a great review coming , we took our 1 year old for a meal and they were so unhelpful and rude , asked for food for the baby made it clear it was for her it said mixture of veg they brought out adult portion of giant carrots nothing else so things she couldn't really eat, the children's fish goujons were over cooked and solid again making it impossiblefor her to eat was solid, ploughman's had grated cheese in a small pot no other cheese at all?! Very disappointed, it's a shame as the pub it's self is beautiful and the grounds are amazing, the blonde lady working seemed to dislike us from the get go irrated by our child even though the booking stated baby coming high chair needed she snapped saying i wasnt aware a high chair was needed 🤦🏽‍♀️. Sat us between a party of older adults instead of slightly out the way with a baby , so we couldn't relax as we didn't want to distrupt the other people enjoyment. P.s as can't seem to reply to your response, it was most definitely your establishment, I have pictures of my daughter sat at the table im happy to send over , your response seems a bit off denying I was there , I understand sometimes things can go a bit wrong perhaps asking me then date incase there would of been more appropriate.

Great food and locations unfortunately that’s where it ends. The landlady (I assume she was the landlady) was one of the rudest people I’ve ever been served by. This was becoming our Christmas Eve tradition for food. But won’t go back. I can’t work out if she thought she was being funny, but her snide comments just came accross as plain rude. Ruined our Christmas Eve meal. If she doesn’t want to work Christmas Eve don’t be in the service industry. Won’t be going back.

The staff was really friendly! Nicely decorated pub for Christmas day. Nice atmosphere e.t.c. The food was delicious! Will definetly visit again.

A great village pub, with brill places to sit and explore, with great food and a good selection of beer and simple bar snacks, the sausage roll was wow! It is well worth a stop and maybe even a stay! It was really worth stopping off at, glad we did.

Very nice food ( lunch) and very friendly and quick service

Such an excellent dinner for my sister's birthday. We all had a fabulous time. Josh was excellent and unbelievably accommodating! Thank you for making our evening so easy and relaxed.

Great food and customer service, would recommend

Superb experience. Brilliant food, service and location.

👍🏻 Great pub. Station Chippenham Taxis highly recommend this place 5 ⭐

This is a lovely pub and we enjoyed our second visit for lunch with old friends. Three of us had excellent meals, sadly not the fourth, my fish pie was dry and barely warm (I think it could have been delicious) and the heritage carrots were nicely cooked but cold, also cold virtually raw cabbage - such a shame! The sticky toffee pudding was delicious ….it was disappointing and could so easily have been a really good dining experience….

We had Sunday lunch, all i can say is what a fabulous place, the food was lovely the atmosphere really warm and inviting and the service was always with a smile! The staff are attentive without being over the top, Sunday roast everyone gets a beautiful Yorkshire pudding what more could you ask for!! Highly recommended, we will definitely be back. Thanks to everyone at the White Hart!!

We stopped for Sunday lunch as a last minute thought. The car parks were full as was the bar area but the restaurant team welcomed us and found us a table. The food was great and the family atmosphere warm and welcoming. We have no hesitation in highly recommending the White Hart at Ford.

A fabulous meal to celebrate my mother’s 85th birthday. The food was delicious and the service very timely and friendly. The only slight downside was the lack of a disabled loo!

We were part of a walking group. On arrival we were made to feel very welcome. Excellent service, excellent menu, food delicious. Faultless, I would definitely recommend visiting. Many thanks

Visited the pub on a Friday night, we were shown to our table. Took 15 minutes to come and take any drinks order, no one told us soup or pie of the day options. Sausage and mash came with cheese mash which wasnt on the menu (i dont eat cheese). Server didnt check if food was ok at any point, wasnt offered any condiments etc. Shame as have previously had a good meal here, but wont be returning.

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.

Great food, plenty of it & good service.

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.

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.

A fantastic Sunday roast in a quaint village setting.

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
