Food was lovely but over changing on the special by pork belly on the board @ £13.95 and got changed £14.95 -£1 over. I ordered a lime and soda I got changed for a large fizzy drink and got charged for a lime dash on top £3.75 for lime and soda joke

This is a great find for food. The pub and restuarant are nothing special, but the food was great. We had a mixed platter to start, which was all cooked perfectly. Then we both had the lamb shank as a main. It fell off the bone, was juicy and lots of meat. I couldn't even finish mine. The kids enjoyed their meals too, although i would have liked to have seen a less obvious kids menu. We'll definited be back. All credit to the chef (our waitress was lovely too).

Out for a family meal. There were 11 of us. The pub was only moderately busy. We had rung ahead to confirm there would be a gluten free option. We all had starters and various roasts (beef, lamb, pork, turkey). 10 of the 11 starters actually arrived. The final starters arrived after everyone else finished and we had asked twice. Maybe fair enough, mistakes happen and all the starters were OK. However not sure what was going on with the roast dinners - bizzare! Maybe it was some kind of meat fusion slop festival. Only 10 of the 11 dinners arrived (perhaps not unexpectedly) and then when the 11th dinner of lamb arrived it was actually beef. This was replaced later as a lamb dinner, Each plate was awash with a lamb flavoured gravy and the Turkey dinner came with bits of beef and lamb on the plate - wow what a bonus! If you like lots and lots of peas this is your place! So how about that gluten free option you ask? Well take the standard roast and remove the Yorkshire pudding and the gravy and there you go. Cheers then! No gravy was actually a blessing. Next time I will order the low calorie option. An empty plate. Without doubt the worst roast dinner I have ever eaten in my very many years of roast dinners. Needless to say I don’t be coming back until things change.

Staff were absolutely friendly and helpful. The meal was great and very tasty. Very good value for money. This is a very picturesque pub. Would go back again.

When I went we had the Turkish food and let's just say that was the best Turkish food I've ever tasted, if you haven't tried the Turkish food here you need to.

Roydon boasts a couple of great pubs/restaurants, the one we visited a couple of times was ‘The White Hart’, because the food and service was exceptional. Everyone in our (2 adults 2 kids) family were catered for and cleared our plates, which had generous portions. The calamari was cooked to perfection, fish and chips similarly. Pizza freshly cooked etc etc, I could go on…. The waitress (Tues and Wed’s) was really easy going, engaging and accommodating, an excellent quality. Full marks to everyone in the White Hart!

A quaint pub in Roydon. Staying at the Marina and decided to have a stroll there. Sadly all the other pubs seemed to have closed down. Wasn't busy, which was good. Friendly service. Just had a couple of drinks.

The White Hart a charming old pub located a short walk from the River Stort for lovely strolls. We arrived on a quiet sunny afternoon in mid-September and was made most welcome by cheerfully nice Zoe. The menu is extensive and includes dishes of the day backed up by old favourites and a selection of Turkish dishes. The prawn in garlic sauce starter is supremely tasty. There is a secluded garden to the rear ideal for a cosy meeting or reading in the warm sun. Highly recommended.

Visited while on a weekend break and a great Sunday roast. Staff were warm and welcoming and all social distancing aspects were well adhered to. My roast turkey was beautiful; decent sized portion and arrived promptly. Just wish I could have visited outside of the Covid era so there was more people and a bustling atmosphere

Lovely meal: mussels and skate for me, homemade pate and liver and bacon for my wife. Cooked simply but well: which is rare these days. Friendly staff. Will definitely go again. Good value

We ordered a takeaway Sunday Dinner for the first time and was really impressed. The food was delicious, we’ve not gone to The White Hart before but will definitely be visiting when it can reopen. The chef was also very friendly upon collection (very easy collection system). Definitely recommend!

Utterly delicious food!! Not only have we (family of 5) loved our food when eating at the White Hart, we’ve been making the most of their takeaway chicken kebabs during lockdown (Part Deux) - they are truly sublime! All helped with being washed down with a cheeky takeaway pint of IPA ??. Bravo chef, bravo!
