About The White Hart Inn
The White Hart Inn pairs a pub with an attached brewery on Main St in Doncaster, and its beer garden holds a large teepee for drinking and eating outdoors. Real ales and a stout from that brewery pour at the bar, where the team hands out tasters so you can settle on one before committing. Food arrives by table service while drinks are ordered at the bar, and the kitchen runs from fish and chips to a burger with chips and onion rings, with a Sunday roast that takes in lamb. Dogs are welcome both in the bar area and out in the garden, so walkers and their companions can settle in either. A step-free entrance keeps the door usable for visitors with mobility needs. The pub opens daily and reservations are recommended. A quiz night runs for anyone wanting more than a quiet drink.

Customer Review Summary
Real ale is the recurring draw, with several visitors singling out the stout as spot on and one noting the attached brewery, whose ales one reviewer calls sublime; another was handed tasters after struggling to choose. Close behind is the food, praised in a Sunday roast with lamb described as tender and fat free, and a fish and chips plate credited with excellent batter and firm, fluffy chips, though the same diner found both fish portions bland in the middle. Walkers and campers arriving on foot mention the beer garden and its large teepee. The sharpest complaints cluster around dogs and welcome: multiple parties describe being refused food because their dogs barked in what is billed as a dog friendly pub, with one saying only locals seem welcome and another recounting neighbouring customers asked to leave muddy boots at the door. One reviewer separately dismisses a burger as grey and crumbly with greasy chips and doughy onion rings. Others report their own barking dog was fussed over instead.

“Lovely pub,in a scenic location, selection of real ales . dog friendly & nice beer garden, staff very friendly didn't have food as just didn't have the time but it smelt n looked good.. 🤔 so next visit will make the time... Would recommend if in the area”

“Fantastic pub. Far far better than you could imagine in such a tucked away place. Shame I live so far away. Visited from a narrow boat trip. Highly recommended. They also have a brewery attached and the ales are sublime.”

“After reading previous posts about dogs barking I was a bit dubious about going in here as my dog does bark occasionally. The pub is a short walk from the campsite we were staying at so decided to give it a go. I have to say they couldn’t have been more welcoming and friendly. There were a few dogs in the pub and my dog did bark and even jumped up at the waitress but she didn’t mind and gave her a fuss. Food was delicious and plenty of it, service was great. Would definitely visit here again next time we’re in the area. Highly recommended.”

“That burger looks dead. Like genuinely no life in it. The meat’s crumbly and grey, not juicy, not seared properly… just looks like it’s been sat around thinking about its mistakes. Cheese barely melted, bun was dry — no sauce, no effort, no personality. Chips? Covered in grease. Not crispy golden, just heavy and oily. The kind that makes you feel worse halfway through eating them. And the onion rings…thick, doughy batter that’s somehow both soggy and undercooked. That’s a skill in itself. Whole plate just screams “we don’t care but you’ll pay anyway.” For £23? Nah. That’s disrespectful.”

“Best Sunday roast we’ve had in a very long time! Everything was cooked from fresh the lamb was fat less and so tender , Louise our waitress went above and beyond to help us choose , would highly recommend this place and if we are ever in the area again we’d be back in a heartbeat !”

How this listing is sourced
- Where the data comes from
- Name, address, hours, contact details, amenities, ratings and review counts come from the business's publicly available profile data — not from the owner and not from paid submissions.
- How it stays current
- Listings are re-checked in batches against their public profile, and anything reported as wrong is corrected at the source rather than patched on the page.
- How it is ranked
- Placement is never sold. Every business on the page is ordered and compared using the same public signals, so an owner cannot pay to move up.
