    We were really disappointed with this visit. We have been previously and it's been great, but not this time. The fillet steak was awful quality and overdone. It was served at least medium when I asked for rare. The burger was disgusting, tonnes and tonnes of pickles overpowering the taste. Haloumi burnt to a crisp. Very disappointing main courses. Starters were nice enough though. Service extremely slow. Had to wait an hour for the starter then another 45 minutes for the main. We won't be going again.

    Having booked a table for 18:30 we arrive on time. After ordering our drinks and food quite quickly, we shared a starter which took approximately 15 minutes to arrive. The main course took 58 mins to be served just prior to us having taken the decision to leave without it on the hour. My wife’s salmon was well overcooked. The corn on the cob on my plate was almost powdery and had been coated with a flavouring which for me was not really palatable . The baby backed ribs were excellent. Disappointing and in my view not good value.

    We loved meeting the owner. He is a lovely chap. He has decorated his restaurant beautifully, and the food is incredible. The staff looked happy as well, and the service was excellent. We went there for Father's Day, and I accidentally chose the wrong date. The lovely owner checked with me if I had the correct date. Thank you! We were fitted into a slot and could take our beautiful dog, Luca. He is recovering from surgery, and we couldn't leave him. Luca had a beef patty. It was cooled down before it was given to him. Lovely touch. Thank you very much.

    Excellent food in a very nice pub restaurant. The monkfish and steak dishes we had were superb and the service was prompt and friendly. It was nice to get such a warm welcome. Will definitely return, particularly for the steak nights.

    The food was amazing as always! I had the surf and turf burger. The prawns and scallops on top were absolutely delicious and the meat was tasty and lean. Their skin on fries are really delicious, the seasoning on them is perfect. And obviously, I had to finish with the cheesecake and some ice cream. It was huge, light and absolutely delicious. The staff are so friendly and were aware that we were visiting for my birthday and made a point of wishing me a happy birthday and offering a birthday cocktail which was really very kind of them. We visit here regularly and are never disappointed.

    Disappointed with our recent visit to The White Hart. This pub was mine and my husband's favourite place for date nights! Having not been out for a while, we thought let's go for a safe bet as we know the food & service is usually fantastic. The waitress came over to take our drinks order (1 beer, 1 prosecco) and offered us some water on the table. When the prosecco came out it was flat (this happens and I understand, so I drank it but no water came to the table. The point here is that we didnt ask for it, we were offered it and then it never came? We didn't know about the burger night, I had to ask the waiter just before we ordered if there was a particular night on, as nothing was advertised, and we were not told when we arrived but knew from previous times of coming there were themed nights as such. At this stage, the food was ordered, so I ordered another glass of prosecco and just quietly mentioned if it could be out of a new or different bottle as the one I had before was flat. I then waited around 15/20 minutes to get this drink after trying to catch the waiters eye a few times and just felt very ignored. The food came out and was extremely average. We ordered 'beef dripping chips' which looked burnt and tasted really bitter. Although it wasn't an awful experience, and we still had a nice date night, I just feel really disappointed. We used to come to the pub so often, and it just seems such a shame that the service and food wasn't to the same standard. The bill was pleasantly cheap due to the '2 for £25' offer however, if I hadn't of asked about this, I wouldn't have known? I did leave a 5% tip. It's always awkward when the card reader comes over, and you feel you should tip. People have off days ect and I get it. I just really hope this feedback is taken on board, and we can come back and try the experience again, as we have so many lovely memories here.
