About
The White Hart is an old pub on The Street in Castle Combe, run by the Wadworth brewery. The pub calls itself fourteenth-century; Historic England lists the building Grade II as a seventeenth-century inn of rendered rubble stone, with a gabled stone porch and a four-step mounting block against the front wall.
The bar opens at 9am every day, with pastries until 11.30am, when the kitchen starts. Food runs to 2.30pm and again from 5pm to 8.30pm Monday to Thursday, to 9pm on Fridays, all day on Saturdays until 9pm, and until 6pm on Sundays. The menu is traditional pub food sourced mainly from across the South West: fish and chips, ham, egg and chips, a butternut squash and sage suet pie, burgers and a Sunday roast, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices and a children's menu.
The bar keeps Wadworth ales and Folly Road craft beers, and there is a courtyard garden at the back. Wadworth's listing mentions log fires in the bar and dining area, live music and quiz nights, and gives the pub as dog friendly. It suits walkers coming in from the walk from Ford and Long Dean, and anyone wanting coffee before the village fills up.
