Having booked more than a Week in advanced for a Family meal. We arrived 10 minutes early for our 4 O’Clock booking to be ignored by staff. That would rather watch the dirty used glasses stack up on the bar than clean up or engage with patrons. We waited until half 4 to be taken to our table. We then waited a further 20 minutes to be asked for drinks, at which point the waiter stated that the table did not exist on the POS system. So again another wait to be served. We finally got our drinks ordered and brought over. We also ordered starters and mains at this point to have the starters brought out about 10 minutes later. Mediocre at best! Then a further long wait for the biggest disappointment of roast dinners to arrive it was over cooked and the Yorkshire puddings were dismal, I wouldn’t through it at risk of breaking a window. The roast turkey meal arrived to the table with crackling on it, after picking it apart to check it was turkey. We sent it back to be replaced, they removed the crackling, reconstructed the plate including a half eaten stuffing ball, they then sent the same plate sent out now slightly cooler. Safe to say at this point the evening was ruined and we left with the complete intention of never returning. If I never visit this establishment again it would still be too soon!
Baking hot Sunday afternoon, we decided to pop out to the countryside for a light bite to eat. Most pubs in the vicinity were expensive and pretentious, but we found the White Hart by pure luck and wasn't disappointed. They do light bites and full Sunday dinner if you wish. I can highly recommend the buffalo chicken wings with blue cheese sauce.
GLUTEN FREE REVIEW Me and my partner went here for lunch/dinner today. We had halloumi with garlic Mayo as a starter to share. I had gluten free bbq pulled pork burger with chips and a side of dippy drippy cheese sauce. My other half had the non gluten version. For desert I had the chocolate brownie with ice cream and strawberries Would recommend and will come here again to try something different.
Great food and very good value if you go on the two for one nights... had to for one steaks cooked perfect and service was fantastic! Staff always very polite and friendly!
Our first visit (won't be our last) was very good. Three of us came for lunch, we all had Cod and Chips, it was hot, well cooked and a very large piece of Cod. The pub/restaurant was very nicely decorated, spacious and very clean. A very good selection of drinks. Check their website, I think they do offers on their food, daily. Our meals were 2-4-1 excellent value. All the staff were very friendly, helpful and polite. There is also outside seating and a beer garden. The toilets were very clean. Recommended
