The White Hart in Bolsover

Booked for Father's Day and arrived early afternoon to find out that no carvery left. Surely you would anticipate greater demand? Main menu is standard pub fare but good beer and friendly staff

The White Hart in Calow is the best for lunch! I have been there several times and I am NEVER disappointed. The food is excellent and the bill never breaks the bank. For 2 people, lunch, pudding and drinks comes to about £30.00. The staff go out of their way to make sure things are right for you. The atmosphere is lovely too, not dreary like some pubs. If you want to have an excellent lunch in lovely surroundings, go to the White Hart in Calow, I know you will be happy too!

We had a terrible time. Having visited once before and it being a pleasant experience (although I must say we were literally the only people there last time) my family and I decided to book the White Hart for a very special family get together/21st birthday meal. One of the guests was a wheelchair user and so the place appealed as it has disabled access and toilets etc.The problems started as soon as we ordered drinks. It just got worse very quickly, we were waiting an insane amount of time for our food. It came in bits and bobs and half the table hadn't gotten their dinner while the other half had already finished! Almost all the food was missing items, not as described on the menu, or forgotten about, burnt, in short it was terrible. The way the staff dealt with it was worse - absolutely abysmal infact. It would take me so long to go into the details of it all that I just can't for it into this review so I will just conclude by saying - DO NOT VISIT THE WHITE HART, CALLOW. most especially if the evening has any special meaning to you at all!!UPDATE: Having read the response from the white Hart Pub I would like to add that no other members of my party have written any reviews so that is utter nonsense designed to make several incidents all look like just a single one. And I don't appreciate the tone of your response at all Luke. It was the worst meal I've ever had out and it utterly ruined a important occasion- and yes everyone including your customers have had a hard few years - and we can't afford to throw money away!!! Stick that in your pipe and smoke it Luke!

Been going here on and off for 30 years. Waiting on a new managerNew manager Luke is currently in place and the place is transformed, especially for Sunday lunch. A great group of staff, Dawn, Libby, Lauren, Summer plus Luke and a few more were on this Sunday gone and the food and service was terrific. Everything beautifully cooked and fresh along with service with smiles from all the staff, not just the ones I remember the names of.See the picture. What a lunch that is!

There was not enough staff on to cope. It was my aunties 94th birthday and was so disappointed with the whole experience. They had run out of certain items, it was delayed 2 hours due to 2 fryers breaking down. The main courses were not good mine had to be sent back as looked rubbery and had been kept warm for a long time. Salad was limp and soggy and food was cold. Never will we return.

Just got back from a having a carvery, probably the worst one I’ve ever had.Food was cold, meat chewy and gravy like water.I can honestly say I’m so disappointed, we had our wedding reception here in 2020 and food was OUTSTANDING!Sadly wont be returning which is a real shame as The White Hart was one of our favourite places to go.

Lovely meal and great value. Portions were just right has we had light bites menu. Well done to White Hart. Keep up the good work.Very attentive staff too. Nothing too much trouble.

First visit and the last unfortunately.We booked a table for 10 for a late afternoon to celebrate a birthday. Upon arriving, we were seated on a table only suited for 8 people and had two chairs plonked on the ends. There was no room was so ever to fit people's plates on the tables so we decided to move a couple of tables and make a longer row.Our food order was taken and around half an hour later, we were told they cannot make burgers due to them not cooking properly?The food arrived after an hour or so wait and it was clear some portions of the food were reheated/refried. People were annoyed with the long wait and were very hungry so they just ate what they were given.From what we seen there was two waitresses when we arrived and after a short while there was only one. The poor girl looked absolutely rushed off her feet trying to keep up with everything.Other than that, it is a lovely looking pub and has great potential. There just seems to be a staff shortage. Which from reading through the reviews, it seems others think the same.

We were a couple belonging to the group of ten on Sunday the 31st January. Very disappointed on this our 1st visit ,the seating plan presented was very cramped in a very quiet pub,5pm. The waitress came out after half hour and said no burgers available as they couldn't be cooked properly!!!,, message from the chef she said , the rest of the food came out, some of the foods refried, the scampi was hard and crispy with hardly any thing in the middle .The poor waitress was embarrassed and did her best in an awkward situation. The pub is situated in a lovely place and hopefully this was a one off, however we won't be back as a large party again,maybe call for a drink come the warmer months .This was to celebrate a birthday. Again very disappointed.However,some people did receive discounts at the till.Thank you.

Terrible food and long wait! ..First we were seated on a row of tables that all 10 of us couldn't fit around so we had to rearrange the seating ourselves..My Son wanted a burger and was told this wasn't possible as they wouldn't Cook properly? even the girl serving was embarrassed to tell us this and wasn't sure what the chef was talking about.. several people ordered chicken which came out very dry and the gammon very salty....very disappointed as this was a Birthday meal!! Definitely won't be returning
