Lovely country pub. I have been a number of times but first time for Sunday lunch. Both my wife and I are vegetarian so had the celeriac main and a portion of sides. Overall food was plain in taste and small portion size, compared to the ample meat dishes which my friends had. Tomato starter was nice and the desserts were all sensational. Outdoor loos were cold and wet, unnecessary for a gastro pub, needs an upgrade

We went in a large group, and the food and service was incredible. Shyan was patient, fun and efficient. The food was fantastic - delicious, well cooked, good portions. And it's a beautiful setting.

My brother, sister-in-law, and I had a wonderful meal here on 30/10/24. catering for three foodies who happen to be vegetarian - and one (me) vegan - can be a tall order, but there was plenty to tempt us and what we chose was divine. There was a superb wine selection and the staff were first class - Molly was a delight. It turned out that after three hours (yes, that's how long we sat there) our table was required by other diners - but Will couldn't have been kinder in letting us know.

As for the photo... sorry, I couldn't wait to eat it...

We went for a birthday and opted for the "Wednesday night dinner club" menu sharing a starter and pudding. Food was well presented and delicious. Service was top-notch and there is a lovely atmosphere. Highly recommended and look forward to our next visit!

WHAT AN INCREDIBLE LUNCH! The hash browns are one of the tastier snacks I’ve had, and the baked Alaska is genuinely a piece of art, but the headline here is that they’ve changed the pork…….. for the better! Wow wow wow! Absolutely loved it! Service as always flawless, Fanni and Will were excellent as were all the other team! Once again that white hart magic comes through! Thanks so much
