"We visited for my mum's birthday. She's been wanting to go back after visiting a year earlier, also on her birthdaý. It was a gorgeous day, we enjoyed the scenic walk from the car park but sadly, that's where the pleasant experience ended. The counter staff barely acknowledged us when we went in to find a menu, I was mumbled at and a menu hastily pushed across the counter. Sadly, the menu bore no resemblance to what was on the website (which doesnt state it as being a sample menu) which was a shame and misleading. There was nothing that took our fancy so we decided to just have coffee instead. We decided to sit outside as it was a lovely day. All the unoccupied tables had either crumbs, tea cup marks or both, one had a big puddle on it and given it hadn't rained for days, goodness knows what that was. It wasnt busy when we arrived (2 occupied tables outside and no one inside) so that cant be blamed. Not wiping tables between customers at any time isn't good, but during these covid times, poor hygiene is totally unacceptable. I work in a cafe so i know how tough it is in hospitality at the moment, i know how they work and what the standards should be, busy or not. White's fell short of anything I would expect. We'd driven quite a distance to eat here so were really disappointed with everything. At least it was a pretty drive and the cafe in lovely surroundings."

Visiting the Gilbert White museum, we only had teas and coffees but the service was good and the cafe very clean. The cakes looked lovely so we will make a return visit! There was a mini farm shop too which looked very good quality not to mention their own gin! Staff were very friendly.and helpful. Voir le carte

We stopped for tea/coffee and cake, just as the card was about to close. There was a varied selection of home made cakes we chose Victoria sponge, carrot cake and bread pudding. All the cakes were lovely. The seating area (outside) next to the house is clean, tidy and pleasant with lots of flowers around a nice courtyard feel. Nice, friendly staff.

Called in at Whites for a coffee and a bite to eat with our small dog.The welcome was fantastic and we were seated in a lovely bright room which was spotlessly clean. We both had the watercress and cheese scones with a cappuccino and it was delicious. I shall definitely return. I gather it is all new and has only been open a matter of weeks. Try it.

We were going to the museum so decided to have a coffee before we went in. It’s a very pleasant building and pretty popular, even the local vicar was there! The coffee was at the top end for outside of London, but still nice. We decided to go back for lunch as honestly the options to eat in the village are a bit limited. We had jacket potatoes which were really nice and home brewed beer and a pot of tea. Would be great to be offered extra hot water with the tea as it did end up going cold. We will definitely come back in the summer. Voir le carte

Emailed the cafe the night before to book and asked about the vegetarian breakfast I saw on trip advisor as no longer on the menu. Owner was amazing and said they could easily make up something for us as all ingredients are still there. When we arrived we had a lovely table in an alcove, just us and our 2 dogs. On the menu it even encourages people to ask if there's something they'd like and it's not there. I had a vegetarian breakfast, my daughter had halloumi and veg sausage sandwich and my son had the vegetarian breakfast but with proper sausages. Really lovely place, 100% worth a visit.

After having a pleasant visit one week for a coffee when a mature lady was in charge we returned last week when a teenage ? girl and boy were serving. Asking to pay for 2 soups to eat for lunch and to return to the counter later for cake I was met with a belligerant young woman who refused to take payment for the cake as I was not eating it with my soup. I asked again to be met with the same response. I therefore just paid for the soups. Sightly confused at her attitude we settled down and waited for our mushroom soups which were cold. Asking very politely if they could be warmed up, they were duly taken away and returned singed I can only assume they were zapped to within an inch of their l...
