Fantastic Sunday lunch. Perfect celebration for my daughter’s 30th birthday. Comfortable setting and pace. Might have been good to have a drinks menu, not just one for wines. That was the only thing lacking . Staff were very attentive.

About the restaurant

When we started out in 2017, we were cheffing up from the courtesy of our home in Portsmouth. It was all great fun and games until customers started showing up to our house for food collections… From there, we took a leap of faith, and a few box meals later, we had our very own market stall on Commercial Road. This was big for us. It was the first time we could connect with the community on a 1:1 basis and actually see customers fall in love after that first bite. Naturally, the food did it’s job, and as word spread, our small gazebo became a local sensation, bringing people together over plates of smoky and spicy delights.
Spicing Up the Community
Since 2017, our "fambily" has been serving up a modern twist on Jamaican cuisine and the community has been our rock.
Come down to our 'Shack' in Portsmouth to experience where it all began and feel the vybez!

Alton

About the restaurant

Located at the heart of Holybourne, owners Thanasi and Nick have now owned the business since the end of 2021 when they reopened the doors of The White Hart with some serious gusto! Holybourne has fantastic community spirit that certainly spills into their local, also attracting guests from further afield looking for a cosy night away in our six well appointed guest rooms.
Executive Chef Didi Ivan has produced a mouth-watering, locally sourced menu with decadent dishes and absolutely favourites. The crème de la crème are our consistently outstanding steaks, we source from a local Surrey Farm and we cook them to perfection. Paired with our favourite, Chocolate Block - it's a crowd pleaser like no other.
Our gorgeously green garden lends itself to the perfect summers evening and if you're thinking of hosting an event - we've got got all bases covered, all year round.

First time in many years eating at The White Hart. Excellent menu. Better than your usual pub grub and the prices matched. My Meze Platter was delicious. The men's pork ribs were very much enjoyed and the medium size was ample.
