The White Hart, Marlborough

A nice village freehouse with a steep car park at the side and a reasonably sized garden at the rear. The interior is semi-open plan. There is a small games area by the entrance, which hosts a pool table and dartboard. The main bar is reasonably large, while there is a smaller room at the other end which seems to be mainly a children’s room. The décor is basic and functional, plain laminate floors and no fussy decorations or nic-nacs. There was no food available other than snacks. Two ales on draft, Shotover’s Prospect and another that I forgot to note. The Shotover was in excellent condition, certainly worth coming back for more. The only downside was that some of the locals were a bit miserable, but I wouldn’t let that put me off.
