We waited nearly 40 minutes for our food and when it arrived it was only warm. We all agreed we like our food hot. We were not asked if everything was ok with our meal until the end when the plates were cleared. Very disappointed as we have previously enjoyed good meals.
Our previous visits to the White Hart have been good, sadly the last visit was very disappointing. The pub/restaurant was packed to capacity. There were no places in the car park, people were blocking the entrance standing smoking, and the bar was stacked with people waiting. There appeared to be just one person serving, and she seamed most unhappy. Some items on the menu were not available and the food that came was not what we have come to expect at the White Hart. Spicy chicken was advertised on ciabatta but when it arrived it was on toasted French bread. The only meal on our table of six that was satisfactory was the burger. Finally our tea and coffee order was deliver to the wrong table. I’m not sure we will return to the White Hart.
Visited last week with my mum and her friend. The land lady Mel was so lovely and really looked after my mum as she has a few dietary requirements. The team really took the time to help mum and we will go back again soon now cos of the service we received! Thank you team White Hart ❤️
Christmas Day lunch - Lovely atmosphere. Food was lovely. Meat was really tender and very generous portions. Even though there was a sitting after us we weren't rushed and had plenty of time to enjoy the meal. Will definitely book again.
The pub was really busy and extremely noisy with a couple of very large groups in. You had to shout to be heard. When we arrived, we were not guided to a table - it is more of a find where you are sitting kind of arrangement as we were told to go to the back of the pub and look for our name on a table. We were squashed in right next to the kitchen door and the toilets. We ordered using the app and had to wait 30 minutes for our drinks and 50 minutes for our starters to arrive. We felt very rushed as no sooner as we put our knives and forks down, the main course arrived. The starters were ok but if presented a little roughly. One of my breaded mushrooms was in the mayonnaise pot when it arrived at the table. The main meal was overcooked or had been sitting under a heat lamp for a while. My medium rare steak was dry and well done and I only ate half of my meal. As we were eating our main course the karaoke was setting up just behind us so as soon as we had finished eating, we left. This is a nice pub but it clearly could not cope with the volume of people. On the website it gives the impression this is a restaurant / pub but the experience we had was it was definitely a pub with a restaurant as an "extra". This was meant to be a special & rare "date night" treat but we did not really enjoy it at all.
