Old White Hart

Recommended their meeting room for 20+ people to have an evening Christmas meal. A Big Mistake. Lovely pub area and choice of beers, friendly staff and plenty of parking. The one vegetarian choice was served with meat gravy even though the no gravy choice had been reiterated just before serving. As a result of the delay we all had cool main dishes, some of the produce was below the standard expected and there was little of it. A microwave had obviously been involved as the hot desserts were either extremely hot for some guests and unheated for others. The meal ended with coffee and home made mince pies which were a disgrace for anyone who claims to be a chef. Having finished our meal the tables were cleared in such a way to leave no doubt that they would like us to leave. An opportunity lost to attract new customers, and a customer of over 40 years.

This restaurant runs a half price lunch promotion on weekdays, which might make it bearable if you don't mind bland, reheated food. The full price is similar to a quality restaurant in the home counties, and for that price this is just diabolical. The food is low quality, and clearly hastily reheated from earlier making up. Staff had no interest at all in whether we enjoyed the food, and understandably looked embarassed as they cleared away. On paying, the waitress held the terminal up in the air "to get better reception" - something I haven't seen since about 2003. This place needs a real re-think and refresh, otherwise it's doomed to be a permanent half price catering venue.

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.
