Old White Hart

I didn’t get chance to order anything, because I didn’t want to. The behaviour of the landlord outside his own pub was shocking. Never have I seen a grown man behave so appallingly. Perhaps he has enough local customers that he doesn’t care about attracting new ones.

So disappointed, this used to be a lovely friendly place to visit with good food but I think it must have changed hands because this is no longer the case. We had a long wait for our food and when it eventually came it was not up to the standard we expected we did complain but the manager/owner was not interested and was quite rude to us and we will not be going back there anytime soon, Such a shame.

Food was not up to usual standards the last 2 times we have visited. Its a shame as its seems to have gone down hill I was wondering if its had a change of owners? The food took 40 minutes to arrive the staff looked like they would rather be somewhere else. Not sure if they use a microwave but the food was dry and boiling hot in the middle it almost burnt my mouth. Will look for another establishment to eat.

We have been here before but won't be returning. The food was disappointing, there was a discrepancy with the bill and the toilets weren't very clean at all. I did mention this to a member of staff but they seemed disinterested. I will say though that the girl who served us was lovely and seemed embarrassed when she bought our food as it was so poor.

We had an enjoyable two night stay in the Old White Hart with dinner on both nights. Our room - a King Premium - was very comfortable and I especially appreciated the armchair as I sleep badly and often get out of bed and sit and read during the night. The surprise was the huge bathroom with the absolutely enormous whirlpool bath, as well as a large wet-room type shower. There was ample room for both of us in the bath and we could have got a couple of children in there too, had we had any! Everywhere was spotlessly clean. Dinner was served in the dining room on one night and in the bar on the second as there were only a handful of people that evening. We enjoyed our food on both nights, although I was left with the faint suspicion that main courses could have been pre-plated up to a certain point as no substitution of vegetables was permitted, although other vegetable dishes were available to order as extras. Breakfast, served in the dining room (a very pleasant room) was good, with home made jam and marmalade and all the usual suspects: cereals, yogurts, cooked items but the highlight for me was the bowl of stewed plums, possibly from the garden! This is something I’ve never seen on a breakfast table before and they were delicious, especially with the yogurt. So much nicer than the fruit salad that so often contains melon (my pet hate!). It is worth noting for those who are less mobile that the following rooms are accessed by a metal staircase out in the rear courtyard: Caldecotte, Wing and Stoke Dry (all the rooms are named after local villages). These could perhaps be slippery and the hand rail is only really accessible on one side, the other rail being covered with climbing honeysuckle. Overall this is a lovely place to stay and in a beautiful village. We would certainly return.

This is a nice pub to come to for a meal. Came in for lunch with family and we did like what we had. All food is done fresh on site. It is located well. The place is well looked after and the staff are friendly and professional. I wouldn’t mind coming back here again.
