Lovely meal again. We came 3 weeks ago and really enjoyed meal. Good choice of food and wine but the service made it! Thank you everyone!

Third visit since July, with excellent food and service on each occasion. A wonderful restaurant and highly recommend.

Great service which was relaxed and friendly. The food is a consistently high standard. Good selection of drinks. Can't wait to return soon.

My friend and I had a wonderful meal. The sea bass was cooked perfectly and the plate was beautiful to feast your eyes on. We felt very at ease as the staff were very welcoming and provided a COVID safe environment . I would definitely recommend this restaurant and we will be back.

Lovely first time dining at the White Hart and will certainly be going again. Relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff we were served by Josh, he couldn't do enough for us. Even given a free glass of Prosecco knowing it was meant to be our Wedding Day. Must say the food amazing especially the Chermoula Lamb main! Will be back soon, thank you.

I like the water rat and normally enjoy the food and place. Unfortunately we had to wait a very long time for our Spicy meatballs. They were not that spicy and overcooked. I had this previously and it was excellent but quite disappointing to be honest.

Absolutely outstanding food and service. Despite Covid we felt safe and staff were appropriately masked etc. This is really the best food I've eaten anywhere at this price.

Excellent food with great service , best meal we’ve had out for a very long time we will definitely be going back!

We had a lovely evening, food was fantastic and the service was excellent, will definitely book again shortly

Lovely place... friendly service... well thought-through menu.

Great choice available on the menu. Lovely place, friendly staff and delish food

My second visit to The Water Rat. First time with friends and this time with my husband. I have to say the first visit the food was excellent and the second visit was almost as good, just the crumble i had for dessert was burnt. The service was good and we felt safe what with the current situation. I would recommend to friends and would eat there again.

The staff were friendly and helpful, the food was absolutely lovely. (We have eaten here before and it was excellent then but it’s moved on a level since then). The atmosphere was relaxed. Definitely recommend, we will be back!

This was our first visit to The Water Rat and the place appeared to be adhering to the COVID government rules and regulations well. On arrival we had our table pointed out to us and we had to make our own way thorough the restaurant. Unfortunately, the table was only set up for 2 when the booking was made for 3. We had to ask for another set of cutlery when ordering our drinks. I chose soup as a starter which on this occasion was tomato, roasted red pepper and pesto, it did not mention on the menu that it contained a large amount of chilli and, therefore, I was unable to eat it (my daughter enjoyed it on my behalf), I think it should have been mentioned on the menu as I have an intolerance and chose soup as a safe bet. The main courses were enjoyed by all of us but unfortunately my husband was unable to finish off his meal with cheese and biscuits as they had run out of biscuits so had to make do with an unset lemon posset. My daughter requested to exchange the banana ice cream for vanilla with her treacle tart and although the waitress said this would not be a problem it had not been changed when the dessert arrived. At no time were we asked if everything had been ok with our meals and the very young staff on the night did seem unexperienced and lacked some personality. Overall we were a little disappointed as we had high expectations after reading other reviews.

One of the best Sunday lunch’s I have had (apart my wives) excellent service and stringent Covid measures.

This was the best restaurant experience we have had since the Covid restrictions were put in place. Checking in was slick and placement of tables including Perspex screen, face coverings worn by staff gave a relaxed feeling of protection whilst retaining the restaurant atmosphere. Staff were attentive and friendly and getting used to identifying table service requirements of customers. Great menu superbly presented by the chef wine choice was varied and reasonably priced. We had a great experience and look forward to returning soon.

My partner and myself ate with you on 24th September and we had a lovely meal with excellent service, we have eaten out a few time’s in the past two months and this was one of the best experiences we’ve had, very relaxed but following all the rules and regulations exceptionally well. The team working were very helpful and professional.... well done all of you and thank you.

Great pub, lovely atmosphere. Service was prompt and courteous and food was delicious and good value for money. Would be nice to see more than one option for vegetarians and a vegan option would be food too so I could eat here with my whole family. Will definitely be back.
