The food here is fantastic! The ribs and steak are some of the best I've ever had, you can tell a great deal of pride has gone into the menu, and the choice and variety is excellent. Enthusiastic staff were… very pleasant and acommodating. Great drink selection. We stayed the night and the rooms are very clean and well cared for, great value for money. Breakfast did not disappoint either, perfect poached eggs! Do not miss this place! I encourage you to stop by!

Had a lovely stay when visiting for two nights. I had a great night's sleep. The bed was extremely comfortable with high quality bedding.
Staff were very friendly and accommodating. We had a delicious breakfast in front of the fire, exactly what we needed after attending a wedding the day before.
If I return to the area I will definitely be back!

This was my first stay here as it is local to a new office I work from and I will certainly be returning for future work trips. The rooms are spacious and comfy with all the elements you expect such as kettle, hairdryer, TV etc. The food was beautiful both for dinner and breakfast. But the main point here is the team, they are great! approachable, happy, helpful and warm. Absolutely be recommending to my colleagues and anyone visiting the area

As a table of 7 we enjoyed a variety of roast dinners, burgers and steak. The food was wonderful. Desserts were great too. We left completely full and content. Well done. (Kids played in the garden despite the weather)

My mother recently passed away, and I needed to find somewhere quiet and comfortable for the family to have some refreshments and share memories after the service. I was worried about being able to find anywhere due to the pandemic, but a relative recommended the White Hart and I was so glad that they did. When I spoke with Carey she was kindness itself, and our every need was catered for. Staff were on hand throughout and we were accommodated in a secluded area with its own facilities. The food was also excellent and plentiful. I have no hesitation in recommending Carey and Lorne, and wish them

Had a very pleasant afternoon in the beer garden at the White Hart today. We didn’t need to book as there were plenty of free tables outside. Just pick a table, download the Hopt app and order and pay on-line for your food and drinks. Your order is delivered to your table within 5 minutes for drinks and 20 minutes for hot food. Couldn’t be simpler. Food was tasty and well presented. The table staff appear to be mainly college students and were reasonably friendly. No complaints, would definitely come back again.

Good pub! Beer was nice and reasonably priced! We ordered some chips that were cooked well and filled a hole! Would recommend visiting, they have a big marquee outside and covid guidelines were followed to the best of my knowledge
