White Hart on the Green in Wealden

On Sunday 17th, I booked a table for 6, for a late lunch at 3.45pm. We decided to walk to the pub, a distance of nearly 2 miles. At approx 3.15pm, and about three quarters of the way there, I received a phone call to say "sorry but we have run out of food! We've been very busy" To which I asked, "what everything?" expecting a reply that might say that just burgers were available. But no, nothing. No offer of a drink or even a reduced meal in the future. So I find it extremely incredulous that a group pub (Stonegate) cannot supply enough food to run a restaurant during it's trading hours. (meals for Sunday was till 8.00pm) Do they not have freezers in case of back up? It also seems that other customers have had the same experience. So following discussions as to where we might now get a meal, we continued our walk to Wetherspoons, where not only did we get everything we required, but the waiter service was exceptional. And of course, we paid a lot less! I will not be using the White Hart in future and can only advise that if you book there, prepared to be dissapointed.

Disappointed with the fact that they had begun to run out of food that was offered on the menu . We had booked a table for a family group. We booked here because previously we have had family gatherings and everything was perfect . Really sad that this time we were let down. We will try somewhere else next time.

We were staying at a nearby hotel and was recommended this pub for its Sunday lunch. We had a lovely meal and was not disappointed at all. The meat was nicely cooked and plenty of potatoes, vegetables and gravy. Lots of seating and the pub itself has a cosy atmosphere.

A great lunch out at our favourite pub in Crowborough always friendly staff great service & lovely main & desert.looking forward to booking Christmas day meal here again this year.keep up the great work 👍🏽

Excellent service in mad busy pub - chaos of carnival night well managed. Well done Bridget, Giles and Elliott. Great atmosphere.

I booked as table of 10 for a birthday celebration with family and friends.. It was extremely difficult to book a table and with hindsight I shouldn't have bothered. When we arrived at 5.45 pm the place was absolutely empty apart from a couple of people at the bar, there was no atmosphere and no smell of food. In fact, that is how it remained the entire evening. There were a number of items on the menu that they didn't have, ie. fish and a limited number of steaks. I would say that these are the main stay of any restaurant so there was a limited choice and on reflection most of what was available was frozen. Most of the food ordered was inedible, the steaks were grisly and tough, the chicken overcooked and tough and although the scampi was edible it was luke warm and not very nice. There was also some beers and white wine not available. There was also a limited choice of sweets. We have used the White Hart on many occasions over the years and have been generally satisfied but this really was disgusting. It was a birthday celebration with guests and although you may wonder why I didn't complain at the time, it was embarrassing enough and all the food would have had to be returned. The White Hart it would appear is at the point of changing management and it was obviously being run down. There can be no other explanation. It was obvious that there was no chef. Having sent my answers to 'How Did we Do' I received a reply. Sorry if this was your experience but this will help us to do better in the future. Really, just shows they couldn't care less.

Very lovely pub, i was surprised by size of the garden and play area for children. Our meals came quite quckly even That they had many other customers in. All staff were very friendly and polite.

went here for dinner and drinks with friends, food was delicious and well priced, service was super speedy and all the staff were so friendly and helpful!! highly recommend :)

Such a lovely pub with fantastic staff always ready to help :) We both had the lamb shank and it was delicious, definitely coming back again soon!

Lovely dog friendly pub. Food has vastly improved and it is served with excellent presentation. We love the menu and are slowly making our way through it. Very impressed

We came with few friends after dog walk to have some drinks. It's good looking pub, dog friendly and they even have dog menu! What a treat. Nice range of draft and friendly staff.

Booked for 1.30pm, but arrived early at 1pm. Told firmly no food orders to be taken until 1.30pm, but sit at your table and order drinks, which wasn't a problem. 15 mins later no drinks!. Forgotten so we had to order again with apologies! At 1.30pm we called someone to order our food, but thought we'd go for a starter prior to main course (feeling a little nervous). Skewered chicken was 'tepid' and sitting on a bed of cold pink coleslaw covered with a dark gravy-like substance/sauce. Don't ask? We also ordered a side dish of skins on chips (but they didn't have any skins attached)! Ordered one more drink with meal delivery. Amazingly this was also forgotten and had to be re-ordered! Would not touch this place with a barge pole again! Such a shame. Used to be a great family pub.

Food not of high quality gammon salty meal not very hot egg on gammon rock hard a real disappointment the place use to have a good name for food

Mmmm, I’m sitting on the fence with this one. Lovely ambience and decor for Halloween. Very short of staff. One staff member very rude and obstructive, gave me elderflower tonic water instead of elderflower cordial and had the audacity to argue with me that it was correct! Thinking she might learn from this I was very wrong because she did it twice more and still argued she was correct! Food very mediocre but hot and I presented well and the waitress serving very good and helpful. Would I rush to go back? No, but with some good management it would be a great place to go in the future.

I had an incredible night out, came here for dinner with my family and were accommodated amazingly, all staff were so lovely and made sure we were more happy. The food was so so good definitely want to come back again!

Had a lovely evening out for drinks the other night, lively atmosphere, staff were so friendly and made sure I had everything I needed. Had a bit of food, was so impressed it was so tasty and asked the staff to tell the chef is was really good! Would definitely recommend and will be coming back here very soon!

90th Birthday Celebration. Easy communication by phone and email. Happy for us to decorate table and take in balloons and our own cake, which on arrival was worse for wear and the waitress immediately offered to take it and see what she could do, bringing it back later all sorted out. Seated in a nice fairly private area. Food good (mainly roast). Couple of last minute menu changes accommodated without a problem. Children were able to go outside to the play area. We were not hurried at all and the cost was very reasonable. Great team and great service.

Ignored at bar. Our booked table given to others. 1/2 hr to get another (not busy) won’t be returning.

Lovely spot for family’s and to get to know the down to Earth locals, can’t recommend enough over chain pubs in the town

I recently moved to the area a couple of months back & I was looking for a new venue to have dinner with my friend, which we do regularly to catch up. After trialling a few others we decided to try the white hart on the green. I love the place, the atmosphere feels friendly, the bar lady was helpful & welcomed us. Our food was really lovely, i had a steak & my friend. fish & chips. We then returned a couple of weeks later, same great hospitality. My friend same, fish & chips & said she had been looking forward to the meal all week, I had the burger, I would recommend the burger. We returned and again the fish & this time the chicken & cashew curry. Another great meal. I would even visit on my own.

With only 3 staff working, the place was very understaffed. This resulted in very long waits for the food and drinks. Many things were off the menu with no explanation given. The food was underprepared, poorly presented and definitely not worth the wait. A return is certainly not on the cards

We had two delicious meals at The White Hart while on our holiday in England. The first night we shared an entree of chicken skewers in a mango/pineapple/chilli sauce with roasted peppers, then Kev had the bangers and mash (his all Time favourite) whilst I had another entree of calamari and prawns. The second night we ate here was even better - Kev had the beef and mushroom pie, whilst I had the sea bass in an almond pesto sauce. De lish. I would certainly recommend this pub to anyone. The staff were friendly and efficient.

Miła atmosfera oraz smaczne potrawy. Po prostu klimatyczny angielski styl. Polecam z czystym sumieniem. Pozdrawiam Paweł ;)

There was 7 of us went for a meal and to say we were disappointed is an understatement. The service was dreadful, we ordered staters for some and mains for all. One adult starter arrived followed some time later by a second adult starter then after 15 minutes one of the adults had to go and ask what had happened to the children's starters. Some time later the 3 children's mains arrived together with 2 of their starters. After all the children had finished their mains we had to ask for missing 3rd children's starter. The adults mains appeared at different times meaning some of us had almost finished our meals before the last mains had arrived. This place is not cheap and all in all I cannot possibly recommend it for a meal as it needs to up it's game considerably. As a parting shot my beer glass was dirty, where do I stop!

food ok. sandra couldn’t be bothere with my allergies. just very rude and made me feel i was a nusence.

Lovely mother’s day lunch, food and service was all fab x will definitely be back, thank you so much!

We booked a room for 30 people as it was our wedding anniversary and chose platter meals. The food was great and the staff made a real effort to ensure we had a good night. Would certainly recommend.

We had a Christmas lunch for 6 of us.The food was excellent,very tasty and everything we could have wanted Very good value for money.Pub decorated well,and all staff polite, friendly and helpful.Will certainly be returning for other meals.

Best Sunday roasts in Crowborough, especially the yorkshire puddings. Staff were all friendly and accommodating, didn’t have to wait long either.

Babs went above and beyond for us girlies tonight! We loved the cocktails and food was lovely! Sat outside in the sunshine in the great outside area for a long over due girls night! Five stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Fantasies atmosphere, very welcoming staff and lovely food the whole family enjoyed it looking forward to our next visit

Great food & variety of drinks, staff were all lovely and made sure we were looked after, will be back again 👍

We had the chicken club sandwiches and some cocktails, all were delicious and the staff there were friendly and always happy to help. Overall a great local pub 👍

Lovely pub, our food arrived quickly and the kids got free puddings with their meals. Amazing service by Emily & Sandra, we will definitely visit again! :)

Lovely pub to visit, nice little play area for the kids and great menu selection for the kids too. Food reasonably priced, nice place to sit and have a drink, staff very helpful and friendly.

Really great service from Kayleigh, Giles and Babs. Love this this pub. Ticks all the boxes for a family. Great location, good parking and somewhere for the kids to play. Awesome 👌

Reading the last review by Richy_wallace. Staff were not hostile. You were in a big group and there all afternoon. Because of this, opinion was that you owned the pub based on the amount of money spent. ONE OF THE GROUP WAS SICK IN A...

Not a bad looking pub but its let down very badly the staff there. Avoid the disappointment of terrible service and go elsewhere.

Lovely afternoon tea today. Great choice of sandwiches, fresh scones and cakes. All nicely presented. Friendly staff who made sure we had everything we wanted without being intrusive or rushing us. Would definitely go again. Great value for money.

This place is so nice. Very friendly staff, especially our waitress Sandra. They always have good variety of food and drinks, my chicken pie was lovely with plenty of fresh cooked vegg. Definitely will be back

I love coming to this pub, every time I get served by Kayleigh she gives me amazing service and always has a smiley face that makes my visit even better! Would recommend this pub to all types of groups.

Had two burger meals with chips decent size for 12 pounds ( 6 pounds each ) drink coffee for under 20 pounds well worth it Importantly feel satisfied with food still not hungry.

A big disappointment. And a totally misleading menu. When I asked for the surf and turf. No lobster was served. Even when their menu and I quote advertise it as: An 8 oz rump steak served with two lobster & seafood fritters, with a lobster...

We recently celebrated my sons 1st birthday in the back room area and the service, atmosphere and food was great. Babs and her team of staff were very accommodating and helpful, the buffet food they catered for us was really nice (especially the sausage the...

Wisited with few friends on Saturday. Very nice food, lots of options in the menu. Great friendly staff.

Staff friendly. Service average considering how quiet it was. I ordered sausage and mash. Worst ive ever had. Ive had better microwave meals. It was awful it was so salty. You couldnt differentiate between the sausage or the mash because the whole thing just tasted...

We had a lovely meal at the White Hart. We had brilliant service from Kayleigh, she is always helpful and happy and nothing is ever too much trouble for her. Thank you Kayleigh, we will be returning.

We were a party of 8 for a meal tonight and our experience was fantastic from start to finish. We were looked after by the lovely Kayleigh and nothing was too much trouble. Although she was busy she did everything with a smile. Food was...

Food cold had return it second meal hot but over cooked so was not eaten it’s a pity use to be a green pub when run by independent publicans

We had a perfectly acceptable meal, for a reasonable price.However do feel particularly the staff waiting on the table should have been masked.I know it is not mandatory at present, but it would have been a nice gesture to customer safety

A really nice place to visit, very friendly and good atmosphere. Surprisingly quiet on a Friday night, would expect lots more people to be there. A hidden gem!

Giles had a peach butt Great service and would visit again Frankie was also a great Server and provided a great service

We have been coming to The White Hart On The Green for dinner for the last few Mondays and what a find! The quality of the food and the value for money is exceptional. The staff are super helpful and always have a smile on...

If you want to spend all afternoon there and then visit the dentist the next day this is the restaurant for you. There was nothing fresh about the meal my party ordered. The roast potatoes must have been cooked the day before because they were...

We where really appreciating a good Sunday lunch how wrong we were. 15 minutes for someone to ask us what drinks we wanted another 15 minutes to receive them. We had wanted to order the three meat roast and were told they had run out...

Visited with our two young grandsons and dachshund dog. A very warm greeting from three young members of staff at the bar, taken to a perfect table for us where we had drinks and looked at the menu whilst the boys coloured in and played...

We stopped in for lunch in the middle of shopping, nice looking pub, but looks can be deceiving. We walked through the door where we were met by a member of bar staff, when we explained we were here for a meal we were grunted...

Won't visit again. Poor service and not much on the menu that's in stock. 3 choices weren't available as well as garlic bread ! Long wait for food which was cold. The place was a third full too. Very very disappointed.

What a pleasant surprise after reading the poor reviews. Our group of 11 only had to wait 20 minutes for all our meals to come out together. Piping hot and delicious. Their mini desserts were a perfect size after a big meal. Our waitress was...

An ideally positioned pub. We came here for a lunchtime meal. The two staff we saw were friendly but rushed off their feet. They definitely need to employ more of them. I had a steak pie, but the meat was inedible, luckily the dog enjoyed...

Had a fantastic experience earlier tonight, staff were, as always, excellent and attentive. Jack, George and Poppy couldn't do enough for me and my friends. Yes we come here frequently, but we have always experienced fantastic service and quality food, and the best hospitality! You...

This pub seems to get better and better , So friendly and accomadating you just get the impression that nothing would ever be too much . Although the food is quite basic it was cooked to perfection and my Ribeye steak was esquisate

Great service all day long Children’s park is great Friendly staff Great beer on tap ….,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Just had a wonderful evening at the white hart, great beers and atmosphere and very well looked after by Kayleigh who made us feel very welcome.

We met with friends at the beginning of the month, the food was excellent and full of flavour and the service from Kayleigh, our waitress was superb. She made the evening complete, she was friendly, approachable and nothing was too much trouble. We are back...

Can’t speak highly enough about our breakfast experience here. The food was gorgeous, cooked promptly & excellent value for money. Service was great & very personal! We will definitely be back for breakfast & really like the look of the lunch & dinner menus -...

I am in absolute shock to see some of these bad reviews. I cannot fault my whole experience from start to finish. The staff are extremely accommodating. I came here for breakfast with my partner and nearly 2 year old daughter and at first I...

Terrible service we waited over an hour after eating our starters which were poor pate that looked like cat food and mushroom bruschetta which was mushrooms and cheese on toast. Clearly the chef has no idea what bruschetta is. Sausages and mash which were tasteless...

Should have realised when the waitress couldn't tell me what the beers were that service leaves something to be desired at the White Hart.

Took my mother here for Sunday lunch. Appalling. The fish cakes a pond mushroom Wellington were off. The lamb shank was tough roast lamb. The vegan tart was filled with liquid, supposedly butternut squash and served with beef gravy! The frozen peas were hard The...

Staff not interested in making you feel welcome especially the bar staff ! Waiting 40mins for food which was vile , cold and undercooked..no apologies for waiting when I asked what took so long just shrugged his shoulders at me Wouldn’t return here to eat...

My friends and I came here to celebrate my birthday. We had a good time, the drinks and food were nice, and there was a pleasant atmosphere and good service. A massive thanks to Kayleigh for serving us and making us feel welcome.

Always have a fantastic time here thanks to Jack and the rest of the staff! Amazing food with great vegan options and such a lovely cozy atmosphere.

As we're not from this area, we were recommended by locals to stop here for lunch before returning home. From the minute we walked in, we knew there was not something right about this place. Our waitress was charming, but had no idea about the...

Food was great, amazing service and staff. Drinks are also great. Would 100% return. Outside area is great and child friendly

Lovely atmosphere , lovely staff, yummy food. George was lovely, as was Jack. Defo coming back…………..

Came in on a hot sunny day and although extremely busy the two members of staff serving us went out of there way to ensure we had a good experience. The two members off staff was actually the managers that I have now been informed...

Team were amazing. Great services. Great food. Catered for everything I asked for, for our family occassion. From the initial meeting with George (The Manager) and explaining my requirements and the need for allergy awareness to be strict, the whole team were professional with it....

The food was amazing which we later found out the manager cooked due to absentees in the kitchen. Very well priced and the Staff were lovely, will definitely recommend for others.

Staying near-by, we looked for somewhere to eat. Reviews looked good so booked easily on website. When we arrived, we were told we could just sit anywhere, so no need to book. When ready to order, we were told our choices were not available. So...
