The White Hart, Sherfield on Loddon

What a shame about this pub. It was once privately run and although not perfect had decent food and atmosphere. Then owned by Youngs around 2004 with an extension and obvious investment looked to have great potential. Started off well with Youngs, great new menu, friendly staff. However it has gone very down hill with current landlord. It is my local but very rarely go there because the service is poor, staff don't seem to care and the food dreadful. Ordered Fish and Chips with 'handmade' tartar sauce. Chips were overcooked/burnt, tartar sauce was in a sachet. Ordered a homemade burger and overheard the landlord tell the barsaff to 'enter it as medium, we only do medium'. Burger seemed to have been deep fried, probably with the fish and chips.
