Located at the heart of Holybourne, owners Thanasi and Nick have now owned the business since the end of 2021 when they reopened the doors of The White Hart with some serious gusto! Holybourne has fantastic community spirit that certainly spills into their local, also attracting guests from further afield looking for a cosy night away in our six well appointed guest rooms.
Executive Chef Didi Ivan has produced a mouth-watering, locally sourced menu with decadent dishes and absolutely favourites. The crème de la crème are our consistently outstanding steaks, we source from a local Surrey Farm and we cook them to perfection. Paired with our favourite, Chocolate Block - it's a crowd pleaser like no other.
Our gorgeously green garden lends itself to the perfect summers evening and if you're thinking of hosting an event - we've got got all bases covered, all year round.

    Booked last minute having never been before but thoroughly enjoyed high quality food. Possibly the best Sunday roast I’ve had. Kids food was also great quality and quite rare to have clean plates!

    Another brief business meeting with my guest asking, "Can we go to the pub we went to last time - their soup was lovely?" Happily, I remembered where I had taken him! The soup did not disappoint.

    Whilst I have had lots of enjoyable lunchtime meals unfortunately our dinner yesterday evening was more than disappointing. The meal started well, the plates were completely clean after our starters. (All ordered from the regular menu) The two regular main menu items ordered were up to the usual expected standard. But the 3 dishes from the specials menu belonged in the bin. The venison, advertised as medium rare, was so over cooked and was dryer the biltong we had started the evening with! And the vegetables were limp and lifeless. The pork chop, hidden under the pickled onion, wasn’t much better, like the venison it seemed of been overcooked, cut into pieces and then overcooked some more. We didn’t send it back because we had already waited a long time and the restaurant was busy by that point and the children were hungry, so we ate around what we could manage. Just a shame because we were celebrating my husbands birthday. Our server was lovely and her manager who failed to come to the table herself did offer us free desserts but to add insult to injury, the fruit that garnished the two dishes was mouldy!

    Hi Karen, I'm so sorry to hear of your recent experience with us. That's absolutely not the usual standard we hold ourselves to and undoubtedly we fell short on this occasion, especially as you were dining out for a special birthday. I understand it was a very busy evening after checking in with our team on shift and we have dealt internally with the issues raised. We would love to welcome you back - I have since sent you a goodwill gesture and do hope you take me up on this offer to join us once again. Warmest wishes, Stephanie

    Salute being a Sunday afternoon and th restraint being very busy. The service was prompt and polite and the food was excellent and hot I was a little disgruntled to be sat on the room with the tv showing rugby. I as not asked and I oils have preferred to be away from the tvs. But as there was not too much noise form those watching it did not impact our family lunch

    Over all very good, parking was a slight issue as we had a disabled person with us and the car park was full when we came out and was very difficult to get out with people trying to park in a full car park. Also we found it a little cold inside
