The White Hart

Never been here before but the menu looked good. As soon as we entered, we were given a lovely warm greeting and shown to our table. The drinks order was taken straight away and the drinks arrived within a couple of minutes (as did all future drinks orders). We shared a couple of starters, both of which were delicious. A little disappointed to discover the pie had sold out but that's sometimes to be expected with home-cooked dishes. The mains were tasty and filling and we could only manage one dessert between us. Overall, extremely impressed with the service - quite rare to come across staff this friendly.

It was a lovely day, so decided to have lunch in the garden, unfortunately the staff weren't happy about that and said they would put our food on a table and we were to collect and then when finished return to that same table, never had hostility like this in a pub that serves food and provides tables outside presumably to enjoy a meal in the nice weather. Having said this the food was lovely!

Well done to everyone at the White star. I bought my family for a Sunday lunch last week. The roast was delicious, lovely that you serve different vegetables and the potatoes were perfect. The staff were delightful and the whole place has a pleasant feel about it. We didn’t use it but there is a lovely, safe area for children to run around and play. We will definitely visit again.

One of our random drives brought us to this beautiful pub in a village a few moments from the A10. It has the feeling of an old coaching inn, with low ceilings (watch your head anyone 6' or over), open fireplaces and wood aplenty. There's character abound. And the food. I chose Beer Battered Fish and Chips, which came with the most gloriously cooked potatoes I've had in many a year. The fish was soft and flavoursome, the tartar sauce a perfect accompaniment. It came from the lunch menu, and both portion and price were perfect. The smoky chicken melt with sweet potato fries and coleslaw was had by my better half. She thoroughly enjoyed her meal, which was also cooked to perfection and the right portion for us (enough to feel full, not so much it becomes uncomfortable). Service was spot-on, friendly and informal with the impression those who worked there did so out of a labour of love. Overall, a welcoming experience and a great place to pause for a spot of launch as you go exploring.
