Original White Hart - New Forest

Yes the building requires substantial investment, however the beer is superb, and the staff are friendly and attentive. Mark the manager kept us enthralled with his tales of ghosts! We had a great time. Lovely old boozer.

House flies (Musca domestica) are one of the most common insects on the planet. They breed and feed in filth, including waste, feces, and rotting or spoiled food. Or in the case of The Original White Hart the room next to the bin store will...do. We didn’t exactly suffer an infestation but we could always rely on having plenty of little Musca domestica chums around to keep us company in the room. The bedrooms are very small indeed. If you do bring your cat with you, it would be impossible to swing it around. The room comes with all the Marston requirements and how they fit them in is frankly a tad dangerous. Both of us seriously smashed our heads on the clothes storage unit, impossible to miss it and stubbed numerous toes. Moving around the room with two in there is like playing with a Chinese puzzle. Our sink had a unique plug design. You simply didn’t need one. Cunningly the sink would seal itself and only release the water at a very slow rate. As the plug was broken off it’s chain we readily realised this inventive system meant you didn’t require a plug at all. Excellent innovation well done the Marston’s design team. The overall cleanliness was OK, yet given our occupancy was during the Corona pandemic we did expect a higher standard. Please see photograph of the toilet seat. Not ideal and not an expensive seat to replace (but cheaper to clean). The bathroom window picture is the view onto the bin store. The bin store was emptied early on the morning we stopped there. Prefer a dawn chorus of birds but that’s not an option. Some Marston’s hotels are brilliant, this one is expensive and very poor. Disappointed and I don’t think we will return. If you do risk it take your own fly killer, we got ours from the nearby Sainsbury’s....

This place had a great atmosphere, nice server. Toilets were clean smells nice except there was no soap I could use and the stalls are tiny. All the hard floors were sticky which wasn't nice to walk on. No table service avaliable. Chips were amazing...tasted great . Sausages were tasty. Hunters chicken wasn't to good as dry and hard all the way around my partner wasnt to impressed. Nice cold drinks in clean glasses. Salad was ok. Garlic breaded mushroom were really hard to eat so I couldn't. Eggs had shell in which was a shame. Baked Beans tastes like fairy liquid so I don't eat that. But other than that I enjoyed the chips so do my son. We will come again and after white Hart reads my review all the problems won't be problems next time ? I have written this review to be my truth.

This place needs a lot of money spending on it, it's run down and shabby, and very cold when I booked Christmas dinner there. I don't think this place has a chef, my starter was a tin of Heinz Vegetable soup, definitely tined soup and...tepid. Then came the sirloin steak covered with gravy that was like some kind of beef flavoured toffee, and the ball of stuffing looked like something from the moon that had just landed. The staff were very nice,however, I would have been better off booking a meal at a transport cafe. I would not recommend The Original White Hart Inn, sorry...

We went to this pub as they had a disco. We arrived at Took our two children and were immediately told we needed to go by We bought a round of drinks. No gin glasses, no grapefruit, not enough ice. Nobody in disco...area as they didn’t start for an hour. As soon as we bought our drinks we were told that our kids were not allowed in the empty disco area. So we found the colouring pads which apparently are only if you have a meal. So we found a biro between us. We left. Still nobody in the disco at Absolutely awful place. The woman in charge was miserable, aggressive and in need of a lot of loving.
