Welcome to the White Hart, Ford

Landlord Tamas and his friendly team welcome you to the White Hart, nestled in the sleepy hamlet of Ford, near Chippenham, a hidden gem, surrounded by the leafy loveliness and babbling By Brooke that meanders through the garden. 

Dating back to Tudor times, the White Hart served as a coaching inn, linking London to the West Country. With every nook and cranny holding a piece of history, from the creaking wooden floors to the exposed beams and wonky lintels, there’s olde worlde charm and character oozing from every corner. 

Situated within easy reach of the ‘prettiest village in England’ Castle Combe, is a must visit, a living antique, adrift in the Wiltshire countryside, just a 5-minute drive or follow one of the many picture-post-card hiking trails or nature walks. We’re dog friendly too so no need to leave anyone behind this holiday. You and your four-legged friends can explore the beauty of the area together. 

Above and beside our delightful pub, a hidden gem awaits: 11 uniquely loveable bedrooms, each offering an irresistible blend of charm, tradition and thoughtful details. These rooms are more than just accommodations; they are cosy retreats. 

Whether you’re seeking a cosy corner for a quiet drink, a hearty meal by the fireside, or a restful night’s sleep in one of our beautifully crafted rooms, the White Hart in Ford promises an unforgettable experience.  

Our Bedrooms

Above our lovely olde-worlde pub you’ll find 11 characterful bedrooms. The perfect place to lay a weary head after a day exploring the charming Cotswold countryside.

Young’s Day Barrel Walk

On Thursday 18th September, our Young’s team will be walking 14.7 miles from Bath Brew House to King Street Brew House – but we won’t be going empty-handed. We’ll be transporting a barrel of Young’s beer the whole way, delivering it to be tapped at the finish line.

Why? We’re raising money for Maddy’s Mark, a charity dedicated to supporting the mental well-being of girls and young women through the power of sport. In partnership with Wooden Spoon, rugby’s children’s charity, Maddy’s Mark funds school programmes and club partnerships that build confidence, resilience, and community – all inspired by the incredible spirit of Maddy Lawrence.

Maddy was brave, passionate, and full of life. Help us honour her legacy by supporting this amazing cause. Whether you’re giving a little or a lot, your donation makes a difference.

Let’s raise a pint – and some funds – for Maddy.

Summer Set Menu

We may not be able to guarantee the weather (this is Britain, after all), but we can promise a taste of summer that’s worth shouting about.

This July and August, Monday to Friday, we’re serving up the best of the season with our Summer Set Menu — thoughtfully put together using produce from the country’s finest farmers, growers, fishers and foragers. Yes, it’s basically British summer on a plate (minus the midges and the mildly sunburnt shoulders).

Whether it’s sunshine and spritzes or a soggy stroll to the pub, you’ll find the bright side with:

✨ 2 courses for £18
✨ 3 courses for £22

Rain or shine, it’s the perfect excuse to gather, graze and pretend we’re all holidaying in Cornwall. Book your table, bring your appetite, and let’s make summer delicious.

Sip, Supper & Snooze

Introducing our topped-up two-night summer stay package – the perfect excuse to press pause and treat yourself to a little luxury. Think bed and breakfast for two dreamy nights, a delicious dinner on one evening, and to toast your stay in style, two refreshing Lillet Rhubarb Rosé spritzes on the house.

Whether you’re escaping the everyday or just in need of a change of scenery, we’ve got just the ticket.

Available for stays until 30th September 2025 – but don’t wait too long, the sunshine (and the spritz) won’t stick around forever.
