| Visited the White Hart on Xmas day, when last year in the snow it was fabulous. Fires roaring away, pub busy with a wonderful atmosphere, car park struggling to cope and the usual welcoming faces of the regular staff to greet us. But this year - oh dear. Radio on nearly full blast on one the pub shelves, which was continually fiddled with by the member of staff who it seemed to have just got it for xmas and thought it would be a really good idea to take it into work. And the collective age of the 8-9 staff that were idly chatting to each other must have been around 21. No manager in sight, no direction, hardly any clientelle, and the car park looking alarmingly empty. Something is clearly not right here. Coupled with the fact that most of the chalk boards above the bar extolled the virtues of their fine guest ales, then announced in bold writing that they were going to fleece you of £3.70 for the privilege of drinking them. Add to that my dismay at being contacted shortly before xmas to say that they still had tables free on xmas for lunch - now that IS worrying as you couldn't get one last year for love or money. And there were tables not made up on the morning, so clearly no takers. We left in disgust and went to the Pembroke in Coulsdon, which had a lovely atmosphere, and we weren't robbed by a member of staff wearing a black mask and riding a black horse for our drinks - instead we were charged £2.85, nearly a pound less than our previous hostelry. The whole idea about feedback, which this is, as opposed to some slagging off, is that someone reads it, takes it on board and does something about it. Let's see shall we? It may be a one ff - but all this on xmas day? i doubt it. massivepompeyfan - 27 Dec 2011 18:19 |
| The White Hart serves consistently good ales and a great selection of wines, whiskeys and other spirits. Light and airy in summer and with real coal fires in winter it's a good penergetic!lace year round. The food is also always very good, varied and well priced. It may seem a little out of the way but it is well worth it and has some great walks nearby if you feel TartanWanderer - 20 Dec 2011 04:30 |
| Had a very nice and not-to-overly priced bar meal in here, and the beer was well kept. Will go back if I'm in the area - had a nice feel about it. toorantom - 2 Oct 2011 16:10 |
| Quality of the meals doesn't justify the prices when inexperienced staff serve badly. Just another poncy Surrey gastro-pub Colourshifter - 10 Jul 2011 17:15 |
| This pub appears on this website twice, but it's the same place! Good base for walking, large car park, lots of choices of where to eat inside depending on your preference, immaculate toilets. There are six good real ales (three per bar - so you need to look around) and there's an extensive menu. Food's a bit expensive for the amount you get, but the quality can't be faulted. I'll be back to try something else. Trev - 27 Sep 2010 14:38 |
