Sunday 22 December 2024 my first visit here, we had just come from seeing Wicked at the local cinema. It was 4pm so not over busy, a real bonus! The waitress was lovely and friendly and took a real interest in our excitement over the film. We were not rushed. The space looked really nice, festive, and it was a cosy temperature. We both ordered the pork roast dinner... the waitress said it was delicious, and she was correct. Everything on the plate was cooked just right with plenty of gravy!!!! I would definitely go back. Congratulations to The Broadface on getting it right.

I have been a diner at The White Hart for almost 20 years - since Mark and Kay arrived. In itself I think that speaks for the consistent quality, ambience and standard of service I have enjoyed over the years. I recommend The White Hart to anyone who is looking for a fantastic dining experience where service and cooking are first class and a warm welcome is assured. The White Hart is my first choice for a celebration or for an experience to impress a fellow guest.
