A highwayman reputedly haunts this old well-beamed coaching inn, which is now owned by Marstons. There are unconfirmed reports that Queen Victoria stayed here on her way to Brighton. Underground tunnels connect the White Hart to the nearby Bell Inn and opposite the pub is the village green on which cricket is played in summer. The main menu is served in both the bar and the restaurant from 12 till 9 Monday to Saturday and 12 till 8 Sunday. Lighter snacks are also available until 3 during the week. There is a wood fired oven for pizzas and a charcoal oven for steaks. There are usually two or three beers available at the beginning of the week and three or four towards the weekend. Most of the beers are from the Marston's list, with Brakspear Bitter, Lancaster Bomber and Ringwood 49er often seen, but the local Godstone Pondtail is frequently available. The building is grade II listed and has an inglenook, a couple of wood burning stoves and a fire in the restaurant, although that is unlikely to be in use. There are two function rooms, one outside in old stables. The outside area is an enclosed courtyard with a large covered area which has lights and heating, but the cover can be drawn back. There is also a large circular table with a fire pit. There are disabled parking spaces and the disabled access is either through the restaurant entrance, if entering from the car park, or from the front. There are also baby change facilities.
