WELCOME! to The White Hart in Newenden, a 16th century village in set in a beautiful area of outstanding natural beauty in rural Kent!
We at The Hart work tirelessly to bring you the very best! From fantastic menus with locally sourced suppliers and the freshest ingredients to local ales and picturesque views, its safe to say we have it all!
We have also done our best to bring the inside, out, after covid and the shift in the way hospitality operates we worked hard to tailor the we can serve our cliental best. We have 6 outdoor dining stables, appropriately named after famous racehorses, offering a comfortable space in which to relax and enjoy our large beer garden, with rolling views of the neighbouring fields and steam railway line. In summer 2021 to accompany our stables and to develop our outdoor space we installed a fully functioning outside bar, serving cocktails, bar snacks, soft drinks and a selection of lager and local ciders... but we wasn't finished!
New to summer of 22 we elevated our space even further to include our outdoor kitchen fully equipped to run a full menu of beautifully curated dishes to our customers daily. The white hart is a truly fantastic example of how the history of the inn and the modern day can come together whilst in-keeping with its 16th century natural beauty. The White Hart is truly beautiful inside and OUT!.

Fabulous family run pub. Lovely staff and owner very welcoming and accommodating alround. Good value with fantastic bathroom in our room ! Food choices perfect. Hope to return soon...Neil Winstone Alfriston East Sussex
Nice country pub. The food was a bit disappointing. I had a vegetarian salad that was filling but rather bland. Other in our group said their food was ok but nothing to write home about. Optional service charge is added to the bill which is a common thing these days but quite a put off as it is it really optional and you never know if it goes to the staff or the business. A voluntary tip is a much better option and we usually tip 10% anyway. The staff were nice and the service is quick and pleasant.
I had a romantic Birthday camping trip at the Boating Station nearby, and went for dinner at The White Hart on a Saturday evening - we didn't book, but just walked up the road and asked if we could order some food. We were made incredibly welcome and ended up eating some delicious food. The staff were nicely attentive, but not in our faces - they checked that we had all we needed, then left us alone to enjoy ourselves which was perfect. The food was excellent. I had a steak and my date had a smoked haddock pasta dish (if I remember correctly!) and we both thoroughly enjoyed our meals. They were BIG platefuls of food though, so if you're not very hungry, it may be worth asking for a smaller portion. The price was totally fair and we left feeling full to the brim and happily satisfied. Thank you everyone at The White Hart!
DRIVERS BEWARE £170 parking fine (no other letters) for parking in the pub car park. I'll never be back. Phoned, was told I hadn't bought anything when I'd had a meal and drinks with my son while camping down the road. Then, I was told I didn't register my car on the iPad - was I to automatically know to do this? I've never paid or registered to park in ANY pub car park. I didn't look for related signs in this hamlet (Why would I as a patron?). The car park was dead, big and empty. The was no parking problem to be 'managed'. Very opportunistic. Defies logic when pubs are struggling and need support. I can appeal - I will - who has time for this. I hope this helps others.
We were just about to pass ”The White Hart” and decided to pop in for lunch as we haven't been in for a couple of years. Nicely presented Tudor style pub/restaurant with ample seating available, although we hadn't booked in advance they were kind enough to fit us in. Staff were friendly and polite and made us feel very welcome, sat us at a nice window seat and gave us the menus. Although the menu was very interesting and quite comprehensive it did appear to be mainly Italian dishes and unfortunately I am not really keen on Italian dishes cuisine. I decided to ask if I could have something like sausage eggs with chips and that was not a problem for them. I am not suggesting that you can ask them for anything you want that isn't on the menu just because you fancy it, as I said the menu is very decent and I am sure you will find something you would like, For service and quality of food I would definitely recommend "The White Hart"
