Welcoming, attentive and friendly service - with honest good food. It’s clean and comfy and a nice little cosy cafe. Food was excellent as was the coffee. What a great little cafe and shop of curiosities. Definitely recommend to any and all. Good job!!

Lovely restaurant, service and food. We all ordered something different and it all came out together and was delicious. Will be back!

I am not a person who likes complaining nor believes in writing anything negative, but today I saw red. I took my elderly mother out for a relaxing lunch to this pub we and the rest of our family have visited many times before. We both chose the 'special' of calves liver and bacon, creamy mashed potatoes, peas and gravy. A simple dish to get right, you would think and a dish I have cooked many times, albeit with lamb's liver. Sadly, the liver was tasteless, overcooked, gristly with the outer skin left on and quite tough. The potato was mashed but not creamy. The peas were undercooked and had been left out to go wrinkly and unappetising. And the gravy was lumpy and anaemic-looking. Ugh! My mother and I both found the liver quite difficult to cut - not what you would expect from tender, skinned liver. And finding gristle is very offputting, don't you think? I complained discreetly at the bar and our plates were removed. Quite a few minutes later, the waiter returned to report that our food had been tasted by three chefs, no less, and was deemed to be perfectly alright. That has to say something about their standards. They agreed to replace one meal but not both which I found unacceptable, but I ordered a small fish and chips for my mother to keep her from going hungry - even those chips were under par - just like chunky oven chips you buy in the supermarket and not freshly made. The manager eventually - after at least half an hour of keeping us waiting - turned up to repeat the offer and to say that they did not agree that the meal was sub-standard and that nobody else had complained. I was so angry that I did not order another meal for myself and went hungry! I did not want to cause a scene and they were not in the least bothered that we would not go back to this pub again because, of course, they have plenty of satisfied customers. Have they got new chefs, I wonder? That food was nothing like I have had in the past. Bad attitude. No apologies. No-one ever apologises any more or takes responsibility for low standards, no customer loyalty. Just excuses and 'take it or leave it, madam'. Deeply disappointed. Spoiled our day.

Having had a very good roast dinner in the summer i suggested to my family that the White Hart would be a great choice for Christmas lunch. Unfortunately this could not have been more wrong. Whoever put the menu together were trying to keep costs per head as cheap as possible! The starters were acceptable but the lunch & pud not! The veg was not prepared with any finesse or prep, carrots cut in half & hard. Potatoes barely roasted, no colour to them. Sprouts just plonked on a plate with stem. A parsnip barely cooked & hard. A thumb size pig in blanket, a cube of stuffing the size of a stock cube & not nice, no exaggeration here & the cheapest cranberry sauce. Best part was the yorkshire pud! Unfortunately the small slice of Christmas pudding then came covered in custard, no cream or brandy cream?? What's that about? Very poor but couldn't complain on the day as the young staff did their best & worked hard. I hope they got the service charge & it didn't go to the proprietors. I had to write this as i didn't want to make a fuss with family on the day but on reflection & discussion we were all not happy.

Tonight was a massive let down from what I would expect from a place like the White Hart. The first thing that surprised my partner and I was how cold it was, considering we was sat opposite to a huge fireplace that had no fire burning even though the weather outside was icey and -1. Then when are starters that we ordered turn up they was cold. Hoping that the main meals would be fine the chicken i ordered tasted under cock and looked very pink. When I complained about this to the staff which at first were helpful then they came back to tell me that it was cocked properly because they had temperature checked it. After I said I still wasn't happy with it the staff then started to explain to me that my complaint was the first this week about the chicken. So after that I settled for one of they're beef burgers, this turned up with the standard lower then the average McDonald's burger! The current management of the White Hart are seriously lacking the experience needed to make this establishment have the very high standards of service it use to have.

Due to their overcharging I will not be going back. My family have been ordering takeaways from here for 20 years but have recently noticed that we have been overcharged every time we have ordered in the last year or so. I confronted manager once and he said it was because they were going off of the website prices as the physical takeaway menu was outdated. However, today once again, they tried to charge us £12 more than the correct amount. It’s a real shame as the restaurant itself does have a great atmosphere and the food is delicious. Unfortunately the friendly service is fake.

Firstly we could not fault the food it was delicious. 2 of us had the roast beef and 3 the vegan Wellington. Unfortunately the service was appalling. We repeatedly asked for the menu and 35 minutes later they came and asked us what we wanted to eat but hadn’t actually given us the menu. We asked for two Sherrie’s as it was on menu, they couldn’t find it on the till and they didn’t know if they had it. I pointed out where it was on their shelf. They then came and said could we pick another drink as they couldn’t put it through the till. I suggested they picked a drink of same cost and put it through the till as that, or if no similar value we were happy to pay an extra 20p and put it through as water! Everyone had finished their drinks and we hadn’t received the sherry! I went and queried this and they said they were waiting for the manager to sort it out, I suggested good customer service would be to pour drinks and sort out afterwards and not keep us waiting. She then appeared at the table plinked the drinks down and said they would sort it with manger later. We had to repeatedly ask for water. When we asked to have £6 of the £16 discretionary service charge taken off as we only wanted to pay £10 they said they couldn’t do it! But after I am guessing talking to someone else she came back and to,d us they could take it all off not part and we could leave cash! We definitely won’t be returning or recommending here.
