White Hart Inn Llanddarog — Restaurant in Wales

First visit and was disappointed for so many reasons. It’s very expensive for what it is, which we were prepared for, however the food was nothing special. My curry was quite watery. I’ve had nicer meals in your average franchise pubs (and better service). The menu stated a mango chutney with the curry, which didn’t come with the meal, and when we asked for some, the staff looked fed up, and returned to the table with a jar of chutney and a spoon and said NOTHING. She literally left it on the table and walked away, not even a ‘there you go.’ There was no atmosphere at all, no music, and the staff were just constantly hovering. They all seemed bored and we never felt like we had time to enjoy and natter. The opening hours for lunch was 12:30-3:30, we were still sat at the table at 3:20 (would be leaving in a couple minutes) when someone came over to inform us they were closing. When my friend mentioned ‘I thought you closed at 3:30’ we just had the reply ‘yeah we’re closing now sorry’. As we left there was no ‘thank you’ or ‘bye’ from the staff at all which I feel is a common curtesy. Whenever we went to the bar, there was always 2 or 3 staff just sat down and didn’t seem to move whenever customers were queuing. The lady at the bar however who served us was lovely and friendly. The decor was dated but didn’t mind that at all, but wish the seating would have been better. We were sat on wooden plinths like you’d find in a church. These were quite uncomfortable after an hour. I’m really disappointed. We were really looking forward to trying somewhere new, and honestly wish we hadn’t. Would not be coming back...

On approaching the White Hart it looks like a very tidy village pub, you get the feeling that you will get some good pub grub however you will be disappointed.

I ordered drinks first and had to pay as you order instead of building up a tab and paying at the end, this never sits well with me.

The menu was huge with grill curry’s traditional pub grub etc , immediately I was thinking how can they do all of these items well.

Onto food I ordered a mixed grill it arrived fairly quickly and I did not have to wait any longer than reasonably expected.

The meat was low quality with the steak having lots of waste ( I had better steak from Tesco earlier in the week for £3.70. ) gammon overly salty with little meat on it Chicken was dry Ribs were the worst I’ve ever had dry and unseasoned Sausage was cheap and nasty The bbq sauce was overly sweet with no bbq flavour The chips were the best thing on the plate but the portion size is what I’d expect on a child’s meal.

Also the mixed grill had a salad and coleslaw which I would have preferred peas and onion rings.

I was very disappointed with the food as was my partner this was not a cheap meal either with a pint and a half a coke costing £9.70 and a beef dripping sauce for £6.

Looking at the menu other items were extremely expensive ( chips and cheese £10).

I will not be...

My brother and I visited this pub as we were driving back from Tenby. After reading the previous reviews which were mixed, we thought we would give it try. The outside looks amazing, a stunning thatched roof building in a lovely setting. When you enter it's like going back in time, with an open fire, oak beams and plenty of interesting antiques and unusual items to keep you occupied.It has plenty of character and it is a quirky place. All of the staff were super friendly and the barman explained that they brew all their own drinks. My brother and I both enjoyed the Coles larger and it left a pleasant aftertaste. The food menu is extensive but no more than you would get in a Beefeater or other pubs and the prices are a little high for some of the items. We both ordered a chicken, stuffing and gravy baguette with a bowl of chips between us and that one bowl was enough for both of us. The baguette was lovely and crispy, the stuffing was nice but it could’ve had more chicken in it. The gravy came in a pot so you can add your own and that too was very tasty. Obviously this was my experience on that day and I couldn't fault them. Lovely pub, friendly staff, nice lager and good food. Just remember, if you pay a little more you are helping to maintain the local pubs which need the income unlike the...
