| I like the White Hart. It has a good atmosphere, and nice staff. It has a new manager now & some things I dont like. Things that you wouldn't notice if you haven't worked in pubs. I don't like the fact that there are no tongs for handling lemons and lime. I am saying this after hearing the manager tell a customer he couldn't use the same glass, as if it touched the beer nozzle it would be cross contamination, yet he lets the staff pick up fruit for your drink with their unwashed fingers. I dont like the fact that you are charged for a full bottle of tonic water, yet you arent given the bottle - its just topped up from what they didnt give the last customer. I worked out that they save a third of a bottle for every G & T they serve (great for his stock). I also dont like the fact that if you order a spirit & cola/lemonade, they serve it to you in a small glass with ice (4/5oz) and charge you for an 8oz dash of cola/lemonade. 10oz is a half a pint. I know its the brewery that puts pressure on landlords to make sure they have a good stock, but its a bit of a rip off. Oh, and what does annoy me a lot that the toilets have been without a lock and a working light since shortly after the new guy took over. Come on, sort it out - its not rocket science!

| Went in last weekend, only ale was Porter, not my favourite style of ale and unbelievably no dry white wine for the lady. The mis-management in this pub is becoming legendary. wellinformed - 18 Mar 2011 11:07 |
| One of the best pubs in the area. It gets busy, but the barstaff are always friendly. Definately worth a visit. cplover - 5 Sep 2009 14:03 |
| I've reviewed this pub before but I feel the need to do so again. This pub, like so many others, seems to have a multiple personality. The service varies depending on how busy it is and whether it is night or day. During the day the service seems fine and my wife and I have never felt that the staff were rude. A tad slow sometimes but never rude. My only big criticism lies with the food. It's okay but not stellar and certainly doesn't warrant the prices charged. Their homemade nachos are awful and should be avoided at all costs. The other thing I cannot stand is their obsession with what they call "skin-on" chips. They are served with almost everything. They try to make them sound trendy but what they really are are chips that the chef couldn't be bothered to peel before frying. A few days ago I asked if I could have ordinary chips instead and was told "sorry sir it's the only kind we do". I'm sorry but it cannot be beyoned the wit of the management to get some frozen chips in to give customers a choice and it's hardly as if it is hard to peel a potato. Come on guys try harder. As others have said - you do have a lot of competition. You need to be worried when the local Wetherspoon is offering a better range of food than you are (and for half the price). norwoodeyes - 2 Sep 2009 11:22 |
