I can be a big snob and I think this pub is basic, slightly austere and could do with a sympathetic renovation, hopefully not taking its character away. However, I popped into the White Hart one day as The Ferry down the road wasn't serving food. I was really disappointed - I'd been saving lunch there as a treat for my aunt, visiting me in Wales. My disappointment dissipated pretty fast. The fish and chips we had for lunch were second to none I've had in recent memory. That's saying something, as I've eaten some amazing fish and chips over the years - they're my thing. The portion of fish was huge, fresh and perfectly cooked. The batter crisp and yellow, complementing the soft, juicy whiteness of the fish perfectly. Even the chips were absolutely delicious, and the fish was so large I couldn't finish the chips, which my aunt could confirm has probably never happened before. A punter told us to drink "Gethin's Cyder" with our meal. This stuff wins actual awards and - if you manage to get your hands on it, which is not easy - you'll understand why immediately: it feels like you're stealing from the gods when you drink it. So why only 4 stars, when this is a 5 star review? Because I can be a snob, and I know that if I walked into a place with a 5 star review and it didn't look like a 5 star place, I'd turn on my heel and make a swift exit. Appearances deceive and you may not like the slightly shabby look of a very local pub with no pretences. Also, I remember thinking there wasn't much else happening on the menu that appealed. So The White Hart might be a one-trick pony, or a two-stunt stag if you count the cider, but both feats are worth a trip. Call ahead to check if the kitchen is open, as it sometimes isn't. read more
