Stayed here on a work visit to petersfield. One of the best village pubs I've ever stayed in. Room was immaculate and the service great. I had dinner in the evening and it was delicious home cooked pub food. Very nice.

Without a doubt our favourite local pub!! Food is incredible, staff are so friendly and the atmosphere and local area are outstanding. You absolutely HAVE to visit. I highly recommend their roasts. The best roast dinner we've ever had!!

Nestled in a fold at the foot of the South Downs this village pub modestly declares it's history. Mind your head! Beams all around and great food and drinks options cooked to order. A traditional bar with real ales. Rooms to stay. Walking to and from here takes effort but well worth it. Thanks to the friendly team here. Will go again.

Not a great experience, so disappointed, we had brought family with us after recommending it following a previous lunch we had which was enjoyable. Friendly staff on arrival at 1pm, we ordered promptly but waited a very long time for food, over 1.30 hours for our main meal which arrived at 2:45pm and we had my 85 year father with us. We ordered before the large table next to us but had to watch their food arrive first and then had to ask twice for updates on when we might be served. I ordered Crab Burger which was basically just crispy batter inside a dry bun with no flavour; it was also described on the menu as coming with avocado and Asian Slaw but this didn’t come with it. To be fair when we complained they apologised and said they would refund the crab meals which they did. My husband fish and chips was good. This is the first time I’ve ever left hungry from a meal out before. Two of our guests had roast dinner which certain things on the plate were cold. Will sadly not be returning in a hurry as it’s a lovely setting and the menu is good, but the service and food let it down badly on this occasion, maybe it was a one off I don’t know…..

Really lovely pub and in such a beautiful village. Food was all good standard pub food and very lovely staff. We were a bit surprised at the bill and thought we'd been overcharged, but they'd added a hefty service charge, which I'm not a fan of. We always leave our own tip, depending on the experience and prefer this to be left at our own discretion.

Unfortunately a disappointing lunchtime visit on a quiet Saturday. Had booked a table and stood at bar for almost 10 minutes before any kind of acknowledgment that we were there, while a member of staff made one drink behind the bar. When eventually acknowledged and shown our table by another member of staff, no apology or recognition of the delay despite other drinkers at bar pointing this out - the poor service instead seemed to be amusing. That aside, decent food and drinks and service improved until end of meal when plates not cleared and nothing further offered, despite staff members milling about and few other customers. A shame as beautiful building in a lovely village at the foot of the Downs.

It was a last minute decision to pop into the White Hart for a bite of supper last night but a very good one. The bar and dining room were both quite busy but the staff (Tom and Lynne) were cheerful and friendly and our meal was lovely. I must make special mention of the really beautifully presented Eton Mess we had for dessert (sorry, I don't do food photographs!) prepared by new chef Amelia. Thank you all so much for a lovely evening.

I thought the food was very overpriced. My watermelon salad was tiny and a small portion of chips was £5. Interestingly. I went to Bills the next day and had the same salad which was the same price, 4 times the size and had many more ingredients. £11 for a glass of wine. A lunch for two people with only one glass of wine and only main courses was over £50. This was not value for money. I feel ripped off frankly.

Our first visit for a Sunday roast and it didn't disappoint. Undoubtedly, the best roast we have experienced without exception. Utterly delicious....... The brûlée and vegan lemon cheesecake were equally as good. Thoroughly enjoyable experience including staff and the general manager Mike who were welcoming and friendly and had a good sense of humour! We rarely leave a review but felt it deserving and all we can say is we are looking forward to returning! Date of visit: June 2024

Don't often leave negative reviews but feel it is warranted in this case. We were "greeted" by a waitress whose face made it abundantly clear that she didn't want to be there. After attempting to order drinks a 20 year old member of our group was asked to show ID. Fair enough, but the law dictates that you can have a pint with food and accompanying adults (his parents were present) at 16. The waitress' suggestion, therefore, was that he looked 15- really quite a push for 6ft 3 bearded bloke. In any case 8 others vouching for him and photograph of his ID was deemed insufficient, this put a sour start on our stay. Fortunately, a much friendlier waitress took our food order. Unfortunately, our Sunday roasts took 50 minutes to arrive- with no updates or apologies for the delay. The vegetables and yorkshires were superb, very well done. The meat portions were however far from generous. A shame because this is a good local pub and I have had pleasant experiences in the past, hopefully just an off day.

The food for my 2 guests was good however my starter (calamari) was mediocre and my main course lamb steak was small dry and well over cooked. When I gave the waitress feedback she was great. However when she passed this into the chef he began screaming at here which we could hear from the dinning room. Our waitress then delivered the dessert menus then grabbed her bag and keys then stormed out the pub.. Needless to say nobody came back to our table to get dessert orders so we went to the counter to pay and left. Also after this we were still charged 12.5% service charge which is not listed as optional. Overall a bad experience which is a really pity as the venue it’s self is lovely we won’t however return!

We were very disappointed. It's a lovely old building which has been restored with outbuilding having been converted to bedrooms. Firstly, it was a good size room with a large super king-size bed and two armchairs, but the issue was the bathroom. It had carpet on the floor (who does this?), the toilet seat was loose, and the shower cubicle had black mould, lots of it! We ate in the restaurant on our first night and had a meal which was OK, certainly not outstanding. However, having later that evening spotted the mould, we avoided any further meals, including our included breakfasts. If the bathroom is so dirty, what is the kitchen like? Finally, be warned, the decor has a hunting theme, gun dogs with dead bird in their mouths, stags, antlers, etc., so if this offends you, avoid.

Food looked good and sounded interesting, rather than the usual stuff. Dog friendly, terrific building. Will return for dinner one night. We were very impressed with the whole deal. Full marks !

We were truly grateful to them for helping us have a lovely lunch. The food was brilliant and great value for money. I'm especially grateful to the superstar who managed to get me some of the pork crackling! We would love to come back again soon, if you'll have our rabble again!

The food is vastly overpriced for the quality that arrived. A large bowl of bland orzo pasta with a piece of overcooked seabass £24. We did discuss our disappointment, and it was suggested it's never a good idea to order pasta in a pub. In fairness, they did remove one of the three pasta dishes from our bill. Sadly, I can't think of a reason to return.

We visited this pub on 21/01/24 for lunch. The first impressions were good: the welcome was warm and the ambience was inviting. The menu has a reasonable range of pub classics . Some of the starters were quite small in portion size e.g. the squid. Would have expected more for the price. Most of our group enjoyed the main courses - and the portion sizes were better. Overall, it was a nice enough meal, though generally speaking, prices did feel a little high, especially with the 12.5% service charge. In a nutshell - a solid 3 stars.

Ok pub, average food average service. They automatically add 12.5% service charge, whether you had good service or not!! Dessert (sticky toffee pudding) was not one of the greatest I've had....it had a rubbery texture, as if it had been over heated in the microwave. Prawn starter had to be sent back....even the manager said they did not taste good. I wouldn't choose to eat there again, but that is purely my opinion. Main, desert and soft drinks for 4 people £124

Had a lunchtime meal with friends at this old but comfortable pub. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. The food was good with a varied choice, if a little on the expensive side. I'm not sure whether it justified a 12.5% service charge though, which was automatically added to the bill, whether you agreed to it or not. (Tip: pay for your drinks upfront to avoid the service charge!)

Incredibly disappointing. We had a roast on a Sunday around 1:30. We had all of the roa options. Food took forever to come out. The roasts were awful - the pork was terrible and not roasted/very fatty. The beef was over cooked. The chicken was sparse. The Vegetarian roast was soggy and small. All the plates were coated in a ridiculous amount of gravy. The fish and chips were over cooked and tasted like the bottom of the barrel. Not a good visit, will not be returning for food. Only highlight was the Paloma tequila cocktail as a special drink.

The quality of some food here isn’t great. I’ve never seen a green chicken tikka masala very watery no consistence of almond or coconut. But the naan bread came out fluffy & fresh. Might give this place a miss in the near future.
