The White Hart Stow - Cotswold

We stayed in SotW for a friends wedding locally. It appeared everyone had come upto the Cotswolds for wedding that weekends at the White Hart was our 5th attempt at finding a spot for dinner turns out 5th time lucky it was! We had lovely service throughout dinner, fantastic food in a really lovely dining room. Would strongly recommend, nice selection of drinks and main meals, could well be a lovely spot for dinner for two or small groups as well visiting the area.

Arrived for a booked meal in restaurant. Initial experience was poor. Despite a sign saying wait to be shown to table no one appeared and staff seemed to be hurrying in all directions. So we made our way through to bar and were shown to a table. Then I thought a condescending young man appeared and pointed to card on the table with instructions to order by app saying have you seen one of these? Then another person arrived to take drinks order but no mention of app but no wine list either. He went off to print a wine list which was produced. I eventually got a very good glass of wine. Then someone else arrived to take food orders. The food was delicious so much so we also ordered desserts. During the meal we noticed no windows were open and atmosphere began to get rather stifling not sure this complies with covid where I thought a throughput of air is encouraged. Also tables seemed close together.. Overall impressions were chaotic service but saved by lovely food.

We stayed here for 3 nights early August. We were met by a very miserable and unhelpful manager, Mark who begrudgingly showed us our rooms which were small but adequate. The food here is fantastic and great value for money, the chefs, waiters and waitresses worked tirelessly and were always very helpful. The manager on the other hand was rude and extremely ignorant on many occasions during our short stay and for this reason alone I would not return.

An awful experience staff incredibly rude and openly slagging off other tables for not ordering enough food/drinks for the size of the table. Very uncomfortable atmosphere to be around especially when openly stating ‘Saturday’s are a joke’ right in front of us and saying they should take the table off people. Such a shame.

Only popped in for a quick bite, Food was very nice and reasonable in price,seating could have been more comfortable in bar area worth a try if u in the area
