The White Harte's entry into the latter half of the second millennium was secured in 1969, when, subject to certain conditions, some women were allowed into one room. These days, I am reliably informed they even have ladies' loos. This is a lovely place. With the Black Boy, it epitomises all that is best about the tradition of the English pub. It also provides a variety of different areas in which you can drink.
Few pubs can claim a genuine place in history.
Ye Olde White Harte certainly can. This act triggered the English Civil War and, in due course, lost Sir John his head. The decline in beer quality and selection since the departure of the previous landlord is a tragedy of Wagnerian proportions. Also, the Gent's toilets are worthy of Central Asia. Ye Olde White Hart is once more the super pub of former times.
