The best restaurants in Hartley Wintney Hart South East

We had a lovely family birthday celebration lunch. The food was delicious and plenty of choice for the whole family. I highly recommend this restaurant, and will definitely visit again.

Good value restaurant with friendly staff.

This is what a pub should be like. Great atmosphere, full of village locals and a proper landlord who knows what he is doing. 10/10.

Excellent little cafe with lovely fresh food and delicious cakes. My OH had a bacon and egg roll in a delicious fresh bun, and I had a lovely Avocado toast on sourdough. Both of us left with some excellent choccie treats - a vegan rocky road, and a kinder and Nutella brownie. Would definitely return if we were back in the area.

Known now as The Nightjar this place is a wonderful addition to the high street. They offer a wide variety of wine and tapas and some entertainment. All top quality and very professional. They deserve support.

At Monsoon this evening, the team truly redefined what service means in a dining experience. It’s rare these days to find such a genuine sense of hospitality, and it was quite refreshing. The staff worked seamlessly together, creating an inviting atmosphere where you could tell they genuinely cared about making every guest feel special. Abu, who looked after us throughout the night, made us feel like more than just customers—by the end of the evening, he felt like a friend. His enthusiasm and knowledge of the menu were impressive, and his recommendations were spot on. You could see how much pride he took in presenting the dishes, a sign of a restaurant that truly values its own food and its customers too. The food arrived quickly, hot and delicious, reflecting the precision and coordination of a well-oiled team. The quality of the dishes was exceptional, making it clear that this is a place worth returning to. It’s been one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in quite some time, and we’ll definitely be back.

So friendly and accommodating. My son and I have a delightful meal together and we’re more than happy with the colourful delicious spread of food

Beautiful hotel, lovely gardens and very interesting history. However, like other reviewers, I have a few niggly things, but most importantly and unfortunately, the service levels let the side down. We were the only people in the restaurant at dinner, and one of our party of four did not receive his appetiser and upon notification, it still didn’t show up at all. They then forgot his main course and by the time they served it everyone else had finished their two course meal. We spent a lot on dinner and a good bottle of French champagne and a fine bottle of red coming to over £400. We mentioned this to the night manager, when he came into the restaurant, which was now in almost complete darkness as they had forgotten to turn on the lights . We also mentioned it to the manager at breakfast who said they would inform reception, but when we checked out at reception, they had not heard about the problem and did not offer any apology or compensation. In fact when she asked what was the problem we pointed out again that one in our party had not received his meal until after everyone else had finished and her comment was “…well when you got the food it was good, wasn’t it?” A few other points, if such a nice hotel is trying to be a four-star hotel, I would certainly recommend the availability of cappuccino and espresso at breakfast instead of just carafe coffee. Also orange juice was from a packet or a can and certainly not fresh or “not from concentrate” or any of the other quality options available. I would suggest waiting until the Hotel is under new management to try this beautiful property. With today’s competitive world and customers a click away from passing you over, I really don’t expect a management team with this service level to stay viable. Update – and as expected, a month later and not a single response from the Hotel even to my phone calls and emails have emailed the management company and the ownership company. They just don’t care.

What a little gem of a find. Friendly, welcoming staff, and great food at a decent price. Menu not too large but a good variety of options. Nice and clean, lovely off-street courtyard. Will definitely be visiting again.

We had lovely tasty cooked breakfasts, service was friendly and efficient and the coffees were great. Highly recommended

Always great tasting and fresh food. Timings are spot on. Parking a bit hit and miss.

Only tried the chips deffo a big thumbs up from me

Service is bit slow due to the busy period

We usually eat at Monsoon however wanted thought we'd try The Taj for a change. We'd hadn't booked but there were a few empty tables. Good fresh & warm poppadom & nice pickle chutney selection. chicken rezala & tikka shashlik both tasty & chicken was tender. Rice, nann & side of saag paneer also good. The only negative was the lighting, the room is way too bright!

Never had a bad takeaway from Po Lee and must have had dozens over the years, always piping hot and fresh. The salt and pepper chicken is a favourite.
