Now, this one is on the cusp of Kent, meaning the pub Guy'd has roamed a little further than usual for his pub experience, however it was definitely well worth it. The White Hart is a bustling, family pub, which makes you feel cosy and welcome from the moment you step in.
The decor is modern, but doesn't clash with the old English feel of the pub, and is smart enough for the business to cater for formal parties and weddings. Over the Christmas period it is cozily festive, and the roaring log fires and heavy wreaths of holly invite you to stay for more than just that 'one drink'. In the summer time the pub garden has both dining tables and your typical pub benches, meaning they can cater for the masses on those rare, beautiful summer days, so not one second of that glorious summer sunshine is missed (incredibly important for our Vitamin D deprived population!).
The wine list offers the classic favourites of Merlots and Cabernet Sauvignon's, and of course Pinot Grigio and prosecco for those muggy summer evenings. The beer is typical of most Surrey pubs and the ale on offer is varied regularly to keep the men coming back for more. The cocktail menu is perfect for celebrations or simply a girls night out. There is the usual offering of crisp gin mixers and champagne cocktails, the perfect addition for a party or a special event.
The pub offers a wide and sumptuous range of food, which is mouth watering each and every visit. Now here is the only caveat to the generally good 'all rounder' which is The White Hart. It suffers from being 'the pub' which all the locals know is a relaxing and enjoyable weekend experience, which shows its doing its job well, however doesn't always result in the best dining experience. When busy it is common to experience long waits for a table (or be turned down entirely) and then to find out that the one, two or three things you might have chosen are no longer available. The wait for food is never tiresome, but it is disappointing that after hanging around for a table you can't order that awesome pulled pork sandwich you know and love (and we're definitely craving!). Nevertheless, it hasn't stopped the pub Guy'd from going back for more regardless - although he's now savvy enough to book in advance!
Definitely one to give a try, especially on a slow sunny Sunday afternoon (if you're lucky enough to get one!) with family and friends to share it with.
