 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Visited the White Hart on Saturday and really enjoyed it. The bar staff were friendly and helpful, the new landlord chatted to us and the beer was good (Hogs back Tea)
Food is not available yet but the menu looks good and there is a barbeque at the weekend, so looking forward to all that.

So happy we have a pub again in the village 😊

Great news this pub is open again 🤩 Popped in this afternoon for a couple of drinks… friendly bar staff, lovely Prosecco and a couple of good pints! Food starting again at the beginning of next month… Menu looks great.  We will be back and hope a lot of other people will be too to save a great pub from shutting again.
