We have been to dinner here twice since the The White Hart Inn got a new chef called Darren. The first time we had ate from 'The Table d'Hote' menu and it was fantastic. The food was beautifully presented and the flavours exquisite. Last night we went there and ate from the 'Pub Classics' menu and I have to say... More

Thank you very much for your review of The White Hart Inn We are delighted that you enjoyed our food so much. Our benchmark, as a traditional country inn, has always been to serve the best Fish & Chips in Berkshire and your accolade was everything we could want! We look forward to your next visit. More

I had the pleasure of staying at the White Hart for four nights at the beginning of March. The staff are super friendly and helpful, the food is great, and the atmosphere is just what you want from an English country pub. I don't know much about English prices, so can't really compare, but I found the prices to be... More

I went to this pub with my elderly grandmother. There is convenient disabled parking and a level path into the pub. The chef was clearly passionate about his food, and was proud to invite people into his kitchn to show the fresh fish he had in. I had the belly pork which was brilliant. The food was presented to a... More

Decided to give it a try on a cold Thursday evening. We weren't disappointed, the outside has been given a makeover with new patios and gardens. Openning... More

Being regular lunch guests at this pub we know the food just keeps getting better and more varied. Darren, the chef, is passionate about his cooking and the end product is simply stunning.

I am unable to comment on the hotel side of The White Hart as I only live a couple of miles down the road, so in a way it could be termed "my local". .
