The White Hart — Restaurant in England

I don't do reviews often, but I feel genuinely compelled to share my experience after this service. If you haven't been to the White Hart since the change in ownership (very recently) and remember the food they used to do, do not expect even remotely the same quality as previously.

Pros: Inviting environment, good atmosphere Attentive servers Drinks arrived quickly

Cons: If I'd ordered the burger from an average local takeaway at 1am, I'd have been fine, but to wait over 40 minutes for something that is on par with a takeaway, it's really not worth the wait or the money The lasagna was clearly pre-cooked and just microwaved to order, ours came surrounded by a puddle of grease Servers were clearly over-stressed

Now to be clear, the server dealt with the situation incredibly well, and was incredibly apologetic and polite, The bar looked to be very busy and had a solid atmosphere, so definitely somewhere I'd go for a pint. I just feel incredibly let down by the quality of the food and the appallingly long service times considering there was only 1 other table...

Our family group (Grand Dad, Nanny, Mum and 14-month old daughter) visited this pub last Sunday intending to try the Sunday lunch. However, we were so impressed by the Indian menu selection and smells from the kitchen that we went for Indian food instead. I had a Mixed Grill with a buttered Nan, my daughter had the same with rice, my wife had the Prawn Curry and rice and our grand daughter enjoyed a kiddies meal (Fish fingers and mash rather than chips which they were happy to do). We had some Spicy Sweet n Sour Mushrooms to start which were delicious, with a crispy toffee-like coating. The Amritsari fish on the mixed grill was delicious and abundant, along with nice chunky Chicken Tikka and Mutton Chops. The Seekh kebab was a bit of a let-down as they were on the dry side (over-cooked perhaps, or is this just the composition of the meat mixed with dhall?). We will certainly...

The White Hart is a fantastic blend of classic British pub charm and outstanding Indian cuisine. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm smiles and genuinely friendly service — the staff here go above and beyond to make you feel at home.

The food? Absolutely phenomenal. Every dish we ordered was rich in flavor, perfectly spiced, and beautifully presented. You can taste the authenticity and care in every bite. It’s rare to find a pub that offers such high-quality Indian food, and The White Hart pulls it off brilliantly.

Whether you’re popping in for a casual pint or planning a full meal out, this place is a winner. Great atmosphere, amazing food, and wonderful people. Highly recommended — we can’t wait...
