The White Hart closed in September 2015.

Owner Stella Coulthurst reopened the 18th-century inn to the public in March 2019 and the pub now boasts a micro-brewery and beer club. The management now emphasises the need for inclusivity and to attract punters from further afield. The White Hart has a long and diverse history, having been an auction house, restaurant, timber saleroom, coroner’s court and, more generally, as an assembly point for villagers.

West Berkshire Council is considering a proposal to convert the pub into two houses, plus creating a further two by converting its outbuildings. The pub closed in October 2022 and was put up for sale but as of April 2024 no offers have been received. A West Berkshire CAMRA spokesperson said: “It is no longer commercially viable".
