About This Pub
So, chatting about The White Hart in Bristol, it's got that classic pub appeal that's hard to resist – think a buzzing atmosphere that's clean and full of positive energy, making it a great spot for a casual get-together. The home-cooked food can be a real highlight when it's spot on, and the staff and management often come across as genuinely welcoming and polite, which adds to the warmth. Plus, being right by the bus station means it's super convenient for a quick pint or watching some footy on Sky. On the downside, though, there have been a few grumbles about meals arriving cold or just not tasting right, and some experiences with staff being a bit offhand or too busy with their own thing, like leaving tables messy or not addressing issues properly. It's a bit of a mixed bag overall, but if you're after a laid-back spot with potential for a good time, it's worth popping in – just keep in mind it might not be perfect every visit, and maybe skip the food if you're feeling picky.
