"Having visited the White Hart a few times over the past couple years and having an amazing time every single day we assumed today would be no different. So i called the restaurant and asked the lady on the phone if they had a table free in the restaurant and received a blunt no. Right okay. So I asked. Do you have to book? Then she sighed on the phone to me and said no but were busy so good luck. After this horrific phone call we decided the best thing to do was pop in as surely this wasn’t the same white hart we were used to. We entered and we were immediately greeted by a young male and female who both said hi to us upon entry and they both guided us to the menus and a table inside. These two members of staff are the only reason i’m not giving 1 star as i couldn’t fault them in anyway whatsoever. Upon arrival and until we left they both had a smile on their faces and greeted us constantly. This put our minds at ease a little. We ordered a couple of sandwiches and they weren’t bad but they weren’t anything special either. But we did only have sandwiches and for £7 you get what you pay for it was definitely not bad food. However the person from the phone call made an appearance again. I recognised her voice immediately as she came over to the table with our food and quite literally placed it half an inch above the table and dropped. She wasn’t interested in asking if we needed any cutlery or even if our order was correct. So again saved by her colleagues the other waitress (who I discovered to be called Katie) fetched my partner some tartar sauce and some cutlery and napkins for the table and even had a chat with us about our days. A drastic improvement to the other member of staff. So TLDR: The white hart is still alive and kicking however they’re being dragged down by their own staff who don’t care about the business."

"My hubby and I went to this venue for a midweek lunch and it was amazing. We had a ciabatta each which came with an amazing salad and we ordered chips as a side. These too were fresh, hand cut, well seasoned and absolutely divine. On the basis of that we booked a family lunch for five of us which we had today. I was a little disappointed if I 'm honest. Our party included my mother who is in her 70 's and now generally eats 1 small meal per day. When ordering we asked if we could order a child 's portion for her as it seems such a waste to order food that is definitely not going to get eaten. We were told I 'll ask but he doesn 't like to do that, he says if it 's an adult they have to have an adult meal. OK fair enough so we ordered 4 starters and 5 roasts. The starters arrived and were to die for. Absolutely amazing! Plates were cleared in record time! Not so the main courses, I had beef which was tender in places but was also very sinewy, contained lots of arteries and inedible bits. However the guy on the next table also had beef and his looked amazing. Also on the plate was a Yorkshire pudding which was not very crisp and tasted like it had been reheated but was not awful just a bit disappointing. There was lots of things on the plate which the kids weren 't keen on such a braised red cabbage and sweet potato mash. I can 't say the meal was horrible because it absolutely wasn 't but after the excellent lunch and starters we enjoyed it wasn 't what we expected. We were disappointed. The lady behind the bar knocked the cost of one of the kids meals from the bill as compensation. However, given that the prices for any of the Sunday menu aren 't displayed we were none the wiser."

"Firstly this review is no reflection on the delightful young lady who served us on entry to this venue and served my drinks at the bar if only the other staff were as courteous and professional.......now on to my appalling experience on arrival got drinks asked for s table Barry chuckle then put us on a table so far so good handed menus ...left to decide then for the next 30 minutes I proceeded to watch Barry chuckle totally ignore me and my wife as if invisible ..at this point I was getting a little fed up so popped round to the bar saw the young lady who said il get him to come now so I returned to my table only to be followed by Barry chuckle who yes you guessed it went to the wrong table totally ignoring me again .....as they were watching this unfold from the bar the young lady quickly shouted at Barry chuckle who totally ignored her so she herself had to apologise and take my order .....now on to the food well starter came quick looking like it had just been pulled out of the nuclear reactor at Sellafield it was that hot ..obviously microwaved to death ...just about edible ....then the mains went for the all American burger well what can I say was a total disappointment can only say that it only reference to American was the charred remains of an atrocity to sever to mention ....absolute horrendous ......we finished our meals and again was sat waiting to pay so again off to the bar again where I encountered the new manager on making my feelings known without a hesitation she was quick to offer a refund ...Which I refused flatly as if you simply giving money back you only masking the problem..how about spending that money on decent staff training .staff uniform and more importantly a decent chef .. oh a replacement for Barry chuckle and a decent pay rise to the girl front of house ....."
