The best restaurants serving British food in Overton, Laverstoke and Steventon Basingstoke and Deane South East

...just stopped for a quick meeting .. Christmas specials were fantastic! pork rolls with stuffing and apple sauce but the menu says different season dishes each day up until Chirstmas..

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.

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.

We popped into the cafe whilst visiting family in the village, the staff were friendly and helpful, I had a bacon bap and a coffee which was pretty good, the cafe also had a good selection of cheese and wine to take away, I'll return when in the village next
