"The best pub in Witham by a long way. The land lords run a tight ship, the pub is well maintained, friendly staff, great food and a nice atmosphere. It also has a great beer garden."

"My brother and I had lunch yesterday. We were so impressed with the concerns show to keep customers safe in this Pandemic. Hand get readily available and the Staff were excellent as soon as a table was vacated they cleaned all the areas. Also the food and servcie were excellent too. Thank you to all the Staff."

"We ventured out for the afternoon and stumbled upon this lovely pub.., with plenty of customer parking which was a bonus. We headed in and there was plenty of safety precautions which was lovely. We managed to get a table outside and had a few drinks then decided to get a little something to eat. We ordered the chilli nachos and some cheese and bacon fries and omg the best nachos I've ever had at a restaurant ever!! Thank you so much for an amazing visit."

Rhys Plenty, Google, July 2020
"We stayed here on the 4th July but have stayed a few times in the past. The first night out of pub lockdown. We were visiting my daughter in lovely Witham. Kitchen not open as had to be deep cleaned due to the virus so didn't eat there but lots of choice in Witham ( we had a Turkish take away). Four poster Room was lovely, very clean and comfy and even though over looking the garden we were not bothered by noise. We were most impressed by the social distancing measures put in place. Reserved tables even in the beer garden which was spaced well, waitress service for everything, no going to the bar, sanatisers etc. We felt very safe and able to distance easily. Well done White Hart we will be back."

"Having stayed here before and stopping over for work in the area again I managed to get a room for the night.
As always the staff here are soooo welcoming and friendly.
I had room 7 which was a family room with a lovely comfortable double bed and two singles, beautifully decorated & nice clean bathroom with all the usual amenities in the bedroom.
I have coeliac disease and so have to be very careful with food and again as well as check in Jo could not have been more helpful!
For Dinner I opted for the sirloin steak and chips (they have a separate frier for chips so safe for Coeliac’s) and the steak was cooked to perfection!
With a full belly of food and feeling very content I went to bed and again wasn’t disappointed with the comfort of this bed & mattress and slept like a log!
If you are looking for somewhere to eat well locally & even stay over in the area - STAY HERE! You simply will not be disappointed!"

"Met friends here for a meal early December and had not booked but staff very accommodating and shuffled some tables around and made us welcome. Staff very very good and provided an excellent service constantly checking that out meals were all ok. Food was outstanding and would recommend to anybody thinking of going to Witham for a good quality meal and service."

"There was 27 of us who booked to have a Christmas dinner at the white Hart and I have to say couldn’t fault them at all. Megan and all the staff were absolutely amazing. Chef even come out to check all was ok. I have never been to a restaurant that calls your name when coming in with dinner, it’s normally what has been ordered. You would of thought an 3 course meal for 27 people there would of been a few buck ups but everything was absolutely perfect. I highly Recommend The white Hart, Dave, Tracey and all the staff are friendly and polite. Great food, great beer, great place, great people ❤️"

"The standard menu here is extensive - there really is something for everyone! On top of that, there is a specials board, which also has a good range of choices.
The food is always well cooked, the ale choices are excellent and change frequently, the staff are friendly and helpful - and the bill is always reasonable.
What more could you ask for?!"

"Went for an early evening meal and the standard was equal to any high end restaurant, scallops amazing, chicken with spinach and apricots, cooked perfectly and the sauce was to die for, all for a very reasonable price, would highly recommend you try it "
DawnieCM8, Tripadvisor, October 2019
"Being a bit of a cook I opted for a dish (chicken fajitas) which I normally wouldn't go for.
I'm so glad I did, it was delicious.
The service was great and well worth the tip.
P.s. mighty fine merlot too.
Happy bunny

"Stayed at The White Hart Saturday night as we were attending a family party nearby.
We were in one of the four poster bedrooms. Tasteful decor with some lovely touches. The facilities were good, free WiFi, iron and ironing board, tea/coffee, bottled water and plenty of complimentary toiletries. Very clean and comfortable. Good security so no one could wander up the stairs unless they were a guest.
Breakfast was included and we couldn’t fault it, good choice and the full English was very well cooked.
The staff were all very helpful and friendly.
We will definitely stay again when in the area."

"The building is gorgeous and has lots of character (loved the wonky hallways!), the staff are very friendly and welcoming and go above and beyond to try and help you out (thank you to Megan, Emma and Jade!) and the food at the restaurant downstairs was lovely. Dave the owner is from NZ and It was great to meet him and have a good old chat about home - thanks for being so welcoming! "

"From the moment we entered the building we were made to feel welcome. We were shown to our seats and the waitress explained the menus, specials and the Carvery. The food was perfectly cooked- the gentleman serving the meat was really friendly and polite. We didn’t have starters, so I can’t comment on them, but the choice of desserts was amazing. When they came, they were beautifully presented and delicious. The young lady serving us came to us several times to ask if we were ok, or needed anything. The whole experience far exceeded our expectations- we couldn’t fault anything. Excellent price too - no nasty surprises where drinks were concerned. We will most definitely be going again."

"We were staying one night in order to attend a friend's 50th birthday party. In the early evening we asked staff at the reception whether they could call a taxi for us. Kindly, they tried 3 separate firms with the best response being a taxi available in an hour and a half! As we were already late and it was pouring with rain, Dawn (one of the ladies at reception) very kindly offered to take us herself! Great service, well over and above our expectations!!
Really lovely pub, good food and drink, attentive staff - would thoroughly recommend! "

"We stayed here after a family meal at the weekend. We stayed in room 15 - one of the four poster rooms, which was gorgeous and very reasonably priced. The room had tea/coffee making facilities, toiletries, hairdryer etc. Several other family members stayed overnight too and they all commented on how nice their rooms were. We all had breakfast together the morning after (included in the price of the room) which was served with a smile and was really tasty. Would recommend. "
