White Hart Hotel, Martockback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Dropped in today for the first time in 26 years. the place is roughly as I remember it. the locals were very friendly and the Sharps 'Doom Bar' was spot on. Very busy for a Tuesday. 9/10 from me.

We have visited the White Hart a number of times and eaten there 3 times. The standard of the beer is excellent, the food extremely good in both quality and value and the service excellent.
The landlord/landlady are both extremely welcoming as are all the staff.
Highly recommend this pub.

I have been to this pub on several occasions; The time before last we were left waiting an hour for a prebooked meal then to be overtaken by people who came in after we did. We left at 9pm without eating and the woman who runs it offering a free round of drinks but no apology.
Once again I thought I would give it another chance. My friend and I waited yet again on a warm Thursday evening for an hour before food finally arrived. My vegetarian option was inedible. Revolting. A pile of pasta gloop. The salad was thrown together with far too much celery in it and no dressing. The friend who had chicken fared slightly better but the potato bake looked old and grey. Really this pub needs to up its game or get a decent chef. Neither of us will go to this pub again and we would warn others do not waste your time here. If you want a guaranteed decent meal this pub does not provide it. The rooms were stuffy, hot, not one window opens in the bar or restaurant. Hideous.

This is my local pub and I have previously had great meals there but on Saturday visiting with two friends we booked in week for 8pm, after asking many times "when will food be served" and getting "10 minutes" and excuses that they had a big group in (its a pub with a restaurant!) at 9.25pm the next table stood up and complained we have been waiting an hour whereas I piped up "we have been waiting hour and a half". To add further insults they then brought food to the table next to us prompting us to leave. No apology, some trite comment by the French owner of "so it goes" but one free round. Bitterly disappointed, why cant they tell you earlier on it will be no food. My visiting friends and I returned home to beans on toast. They lost customers, never again.

Thought we'd try this place, as it was recommended by someone we know, and I'm glad we did. Otter bitter @ �2-30 a pint is pretty good value, with Doombar & Oakham Inferno @ �2-80 equally good, and in fine fettle. There were several people eating, so had a look at the menu, which was very reasonably priced. Both myself and the Memsahib had a filled baguette. Not very adventurous I know, but I only fancied a snackette.
What a mistake to make! In comes the baguette with a salad and chips, and I must admit, it defeated me. I took half my baguette home.
Seems to have a fair old mix of locals (some of whom arrive and depart by bus) and passing trade. Well, I shall include myself in one or other of these categories in the future.
Service was absolutely 100% perfect, as was the beer and the food.
I was a little miffed when last orders was called at 1415 on a bust Thursday lunchtime session though. Have they no soul?

Busy village centre hotel with welcoming bar popular with visitors and locals. Three beers, Otter Ale, Sharps Doom and Yeovil Ale's Star Gazer, the last of which my running club helped drain. Food looks good, but have not yet sampled. Beware closing hours as previously mentioned.

Popped in on Saturday and last orders were called at 2pm! Wouldn't bother again.

Unusually good food for a Somerset village pub; but then the landlord's missus is French, and so is the cook. Depending on which waitress is on duty, it is possible to order and converse in English, French, German and Russian. The pub has had a renaissance under the change of ownership

Good quality food; not standard pub fare
