The White Hart - Surrey Heath

Had not visited for years, passing on our way home from Gloucester. Late lunch. Friendly welcome, and choice of what area to sit. Opted for the restaurant. Ordered drinks, which came promptly, and were required, refreshingly so. Rather tired so just chose a mains. The Crab Linguine was superb, good size portion and plenty of crab. He ordered the wild boar pie, the pastry was 'soft ' but lovely flavours, and nice vegetables. The lemon tart was to die for. Superb. The service charge 'again ' which now appears to be the norm. WE did check that the 'staff ' do get this, one has to, some manager/owners do not 'share '. Parking area behind, which is a a bonus else no idea where to park in this busy area. Hopefully will come again.

The White Heart came to the rescue when a booking error at another restaurant left my father and I in a bind. Tom, the friendly barman, went out of his way to suggest alternative dining options and ensure we had a great experience. The roasts were fantastic, with the lamb shoulder being a standout. The quality of the ale was exceptional, all locally sourced. The staff, including our wonderful waitress, made us feel welcome and provided top-notch service. We were so impressed that we have decided to make The White Heart our new go-to spot for father and son meals and drinks. If you're considering dining here, you won't be disappointed! Thank you for the fantastic experience.

We eat here for mums birthday yesterday Have been a few times before We all said it was the best food we had had in a long time My steak was cooked to perfection Service was really good as well We will definitely be back

Firstly, the beer here is great. The White Hart is justifiably in the Good Beer Guide. Our meal was first rate. I had the Cauliflower Milanese, which is the best veggie meal I have ever had out. It was a Cauliflower Steak in a crispy batter on a bed of linguine. Very tasty. My wife had the small plates crispy squid, patron peppers and prawns pil pil. All three dishes were outstanding. The service was also excellent. It wasn't cheap but I have no hesitation in recommending The White Hart.

The restaurant was lively on a Friday night, with mostly local clientele. They have a good variety of cask beers and a great selection of wines by the glass. The food options, both at the bar and in the restaurant, looked enticing so I plan to return to try them. The restaurant is also dog friendly.
