About Us

The White Hart is a fine old village pub full of character and charm where you’ll be assured of a friendly welcome, whether you join us for a quick drink, one of our delicious home-cooked meals or an overnight stay in our superb guest rooms.

We also have a separate function room ideal for a small private party or corporate events.

Discover more of our local area

Located in the picturesque South Downs village of South Harting, West Sussex, we’re near Petersfield and just a few minutes from the A3, within easy reach of Chichester and Portsmouth. Our pub is an ideal watering hole for anyone walking the South Downs Way.

Close by is the The National Trust property Uppark, where H.G. Wells sometimes lived as a young man when his mother worked as a lady’s maid there. And we have another literary link – the Victorian writer Anthony Trollope spent the last years of his life in South Harting.

Our sister pubs

We are proud to be part of the Upham Inns collection of idyllic pubs across Hampshire, Berkshire, Sussex and Wiltshire with plans to increase the portfolio.

Upham’s core values reflect that of a traditional country pub with a community focus and a desire to be the heartbeat of the local area. No two Upham pubs are the same but we are united in our passion for producing fabulous food, offering great real ales, craft beers, wines and cocktails whilst providing a welcoming atmosphere.

The Upham Group has given a new lease of life to some lovely old pubs in the south of England, we choose pubs with character and charm, usually in country locations, that perhaps have suffered from a lack of investment and care.
