The food and the service in The White Hart has been excellent every meal we have had; however last night's meal was even more wonderful than usual.
Five of us were dining including, one (slightly strung out after school) three-year old around 5.30pm. When we sat down in the restaurant, staff came over straight away with a huge colouring book with stickers and lots of pencils for him which I thought really lovely.
The food was taking a little longer than the small person would have wanted and so the staff took the time to go get his meal ready first. Unfortunately my son just would not wait for the food to get cool enough for him to eat, burned his tongue on the hot macaroni cheese and got a bit upset. The bar staff were very sweet about it, made suggestions to help and brought over a big iced drink for him. Later on they even removed items from our bill to say sorry for my son burning his mouth, which was absolutely not their fault but extremely nice of them.
Our adult meals were, as usual, delicious, huge and made with lots of good quality ingredients. In particular the vegetable tagine was really impressive along with the enormous and well-seasoned chips!
My son was treated to chocolate ice cream for afters-my mother in law adored her salted caramel profiteroles.
We just love this place and the level of care and thought that was shown to us last night genuinely made me well up afterwards, we were so well looked after and the staff could not have been more attentive. We'll...
   Read moreVisited Sunday afternoon and have to say what a lovely transformation!! Last visited last year (we live 5 minutes walk away but rarely go to our local eateries/pubs) The beer garden has been revamped with a beautiful water feature, and glass ballastrading that leads to an area of grassland with a children's bouncy castle. There are now plenty of tables and a super large sunshade with patio heaters underneath to warm up the tables in the middle of the beer garden on chillier evenings and in winter.
On the whole the garden was clean, modern and a lovely place to visit, food was also being served and looked delicious!! The only downside- the bouncy castle really could do with a blooming good jet washing as it was rather grubby, and we weren't the only parents who noticed. I understand that kids will bring grass and dirt on to the castle but it really is quite yuk, I stripped my 2 kiddies of their clothes and socks as soon as we got home, but please believe me when I say that this will not stop us from visiting...
   Read moreDon't know what place others went to, but was not the same white hart, my family and I had dinner. Service was standard, with my wife's order being messed up for a starter vs their dinner special. So sat there waiting for 15 minutes for the waitress to say she would fix it when the mains came. The fish and chips came 10 mins before the other mains, with no mushy peas they used boiled and left the water on the plate. Leaving the not so fresh fried fish sitting in the water, with a "homemade" tarter sauce that should stay at home with whoever thought it was acceptable. If you're thinking of ordering fish and chips here just go to the local chippy down the main road. The meat curry was just a plain chicken breast with curry sauce thrown on top, and the naan and poppadom must have been from the co-op down the way. And even after all this the waitress and the kitchen couldn't even get my wife's order and ended up having to credit it on the bill. Quite possibly the worst pub...
