About Us

Since the reign of Richard II The Whyte Harte Hotel has offered fine foods, real ales and comfort to travellers. Situated in the beautiful historic village of Bletchingley, The Whyte Harte Hotel is one of the few surviving Medieval Inns in Britain today and is steeped in history. Said to date back to 1388, it possesses wooden beams, which are believed to be from ships of the time. Bletchingly, was mentioned in the Doomsday book and therefore evidence of its existence can be traced back to Saxon ... Moretimes. St. Mary's church opposite the Whyte Harte dates back to 1100.Many of the original features of the pub can be seen today. The original fire grate dates back to 1613 and there is even a bakers oven in a recess.Come and experience one of Bletchingley's best-kept secrets dating back centuries. This historic Pub and Hotel offers great food, modern and comfortable accommodation and convenience. We pride ourselves on our friendliness and our desire to make your stay truly comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable.We are a stones throw away from the M25 junction 6 and convenient for Gatwick Airport. Our promise is to serve real food and real ale, with passion in a traditional, stylish and relaxed environment. All our food is sourced locally and freshly prepared by our chefs. Our 10 rooms are comfortable, with modern fixtures yet in a traditional setting and our Heritage rooms' are the most talked about due to their unique feel.The site has also had more practical uses. In the 18th Century it was used for what was called at the time rotten' parliamentary elections and it's hard to believe that Bletchingley returned two members of parliament while the somewhat larger city of Manchester returned none!In the 1950's the landlord of the time was well known for serving Jugged Hare, Mulled wine and clay pipes from the main fireplace. Why not see for yourself in the Pathe newsreel here.Today these fireplaces are still working. There are 3 in total, with the main one being the focal point in the bar. Nowadays you can sit and relax on our sofas and while away the hours while we look after you.We look forward to seeing you soon! Less
