We recently visited the White Hart for the excellent value, Wednesday Dinner Club. The starter was the salt and pepper squid. It was beautifully presented and tasted absolutely delicious. We followed it with the signature pork. It did not disappoint! It was perfectly cooked and superbly presented with the long stick of crackling topping it off beautifully. We couldn’t resist the incredible dessert menu too, we had a deconstructed cheesecake, which finished the meal off wonderfully. A first class dining experience, in a beautiful building, with excellent service.

Restaurant was lovely, beautifully decorated and loved the atmosphere. I am afraid I would have to say inspector (assessor) for a Michelin rating would have been disappointed with the Belly of Pork dried out and toughish and rolled up like a joint of breast of lamb, crackling was a wand that would have broken teeth and tasted like 'pork scratchings'. Why do this?? Others enjoyed their fish and chips! Perhaps it was just a bad choice??

I was a regular customer at the White Hart back in its glory days of the late 1970's but then the ownership changed and, like so many other pub/restaurants, it went down hill. I've looked in occasionally since in the hope that one of the succession of new owners has managed to turn the clock back. One such visit was quite recently with my wife. Walking through the door, the White Hart just oozed ambience and expectation. It was also pleasantly warm for a country pub in winter (we recently suffered the White Horse at Woolstone with no heating in the bar whatsoever when the outside temperature was -2 deg C!). We glanced at the pumps on the bar and were delighted to see out favourite beer, "Doom Bar". We have drunk many pints of this ale but none ever tasted like this one. More an IPA than the full bodied beer we were expecting. From then on our dining experience went downhill. The menu was limited so we both opted for the roasted belly of pork. Unfortunately the dish we were presented with was poorly conceived and badly executed. We were expecting a succulent piece of tender meat, covered in crackling and oozing juices. Unfortunately we were presented with a largish, dry, tough, overcooked, rolled piece of pork with a single speer of crackling the diameter of a piece of spaghetti. The menu did not mention vegetables except carrot so, at the time of ordering I asked the waiter if the pork came with any green vegetables. He responded that it came with spinach. Spinach and carrots must be very expensive in Fyfield because each serving included just one juvenile carrot and half a mouthful of spinach. As for the potatoes, these must be in short supply as each plate supported 4 sugar cube sized offerings. So much for a healthy diet! We paid the not insignificant bill and left, very disappointed in receiving such a disappointing meal in such lovely surroundings.

Our inaugural dining experience at The White Heart in Fifield surpassed all expectations, instantly earning its place as our absolute favorite. From the moment I called to inquire about a reservation, the staff's kindness stood out. They thoughtfully asked if there was a special occasion, and I shared that my girlfriend and I were celebrating our fifth kiss anniversary. To our delight, upon arriving at our table, a heartfelt congratulations note awaited us – a charming and unexpected touch that set the tone for the evening. The culinary journey that followed was nothing short of extraordinary. The Nduja croquettes, Smoked mackerel pâté, Slow-roasted belly of Kelmscott pork (an outstanding signature dish), and the Roasted haunch of fallow deer were not only exquisite but also presented with artful precision on our plates. To cap off our meal, we were surprised with a couple of delectable complimentary brownies, a sweet gesture that truly made our night. Our cocktails were not only visually appealing but also a perfect harmony of flavors. The service throughout our dining experience was characterized by genuine friendliness, adding to the overall positive atmosphere of the evening. Connie and I are already eagerly anticipating our next visit to indulge in more of the delightful offerings at The White Heart in Fifield! We will make sure to go back on a Wednesday night to try the White Hart's set menu ! Thank you!

Birthday lunch An interesting experience. Quite a good variety of dishes on the menu. I was a bit restricted with my choices. The ribeye was nicely cooked, a bit more fat/sinew than I like. Mushroom was nice not all chips fully cooked. My Rhubarb dessert was delicious, beautifully presented too. All other guests were very complimentary about their food The cellar room was a little low for me but a real character room. Gents toilet freezing as it's outdoors Overall a good experience.

Having had a few unforgettable Christmas meals at the atmospheric White Hart, disappointment this year and new plans in 2024…. The food used to be as good as any in a gastro pub in the area. This year though felt like an average Sunday roast (at top restaurant prices). To be put in the pub dining area backing into a big group of Sunday drinkers perched on the edge of our table, and told that we had missed the restaurant area because that was first come first served was disingenuous… when we booked in September they made the point of telling us we were one of the first bookings. At £160 per head very underwhelming - some good memories from years gone by but unfortunately no more

I think an English roast should be a simple thing with a very plain starter. The menu was short and seasonal, full marks for that, but in execution the dishes were busy for a country pub, scattered with cubes of this and that. Prices reasonable, our meat eaters got decent helpings of pork and the kitchen were all prepared for our vegan. In retrospect I wish we had looked more carefully at the cheese desserts as they appeared well thought out. I'd go again but probably not for Sunday lunch.

Always love going here. Really good food, local and seasonal, great service, and a lovely atmosphere. Very welcoming of children too! Their signature pork belly is worth coming back for time and again although it's a tough call between that and the ever changing menu of imaginative dishes. I particularly enjoyed the mulled wine trifle this time!

Game Night At The White Hart We love the White Hart and have been regular customers for more than a decade. The ‘problem’ is that it’s tricky to come up with new ways to write a review, because they are consistently fabulous. We’ve seen the front of house staff change over the years (we miss seeing you Sarah) but what stays constant is the ability of the team to be friendly, professional and welcoming. Kay obviously puts a lot of effort into building and training the team, and it shows. Last night was a particularly lovely atmosphere by the hard working staff. So now to the tricky part, how to share the experience we had in such a way to give it justice. This Game Night tasting menu was one of the top tasting menus we’ve had anywhere, and we’ve had some tasty treats on our travels. The Rabbit won tons with cider apple hoi sin left us wanting to lick the dishes! We didn’t, but we might have if we’d be sat at a more discreet table! Pithiviers are on lots of menus at the moment, we had some in Barcelona just last week and they featured on Bake Off the week before, but the Venison hot pot version that was served up to us at The White Hart was the tastiest we’ve had this season. The pastry was flakey and crisp, the venison was seasoned to perfection and perfectly just moist, what blew us away was the tangy sharp mustard gel. Such a treat alongside a miso roasted carrot that was so very good, and I don’t even care much for carrots usually, if they all tasted this lush I’d be growing a whole crop. Next came the Salt-aged Mallard, duck faggot and accompanying elements, this plate was delicious. I adore duck and this was served exactly the way I love it, so much flavour. The whole meal would have been a success if we’d have stopped there. But no, at The White Hart the desserts are going from strength to strength over the last months and this menu took things to a new height. An Almond Tuille filled with the most delicious soft white chocolate ganache managed to hold the delicious flavour and yet not be too sweet, marinated blackberries and apple sorbet was such a refreshing contrast and combination of flavours I’d be happy to have it every visit for a year, so delicious. Then there was a second course of desserts, did I mention how much I love desserts! This was quite lush, a gingerbread mousse with a purée and a caramel and chocolate ice cream which was devoured as though it was the first plateful of the evening. Just when you think you can’t possibly find a space for anything more they brought out a plate with a simple Sloe Gin and Blackberry Jelly, the flavour of which lingered on my tongue way after we got home. As we left we were asked if we’d enjoyed our meal, my answer was that there was only one thing that could have been improved, that would be if our home was within walking distance or if there were rooms upstairs that we could have retired to. All for an extremely reasonable price too, wish we could have partaken of the wine flight but one of us had to drive. So Mark and Kay and all your wonderful team in the kitchen and front of house, thank you all for giving us a great menu, evening and experience, our expectations were high and you pushed the bar even further. With all our best wishes Libby & Jason

Delicious beef and pork Sunday lunch. Absolutely wonderful pudding and excellent service. All inside tables were taken by mid-week so we were in the ‘conservatory’. Rather like a marquee, and although it was a mild day for November and there were heaters, it was cold and draughty - not a cosy experience! Would not book again in winter unless inside.

As this review is honest, I'll start from the positive points: - The atmosphere was very cosy, it felt nice & toasty as there was a big fireplace, the interior was lovely decorated and the whole place gave a good historical vibe. - The food was very delicious - although their menu is not so big, they surely have their signature meals. Now, moving to the not so positive: - We have ordered two mains and one was Roast rump for my husband - the meal comes with some sides including Duck fat potatoes - they were missing and placed into my meal instead. It might seem just a small mistake but lets all admit it does let you down when they charge for the mains between £22 and £35 (Roast rump was £32). - We have opted to pay by cash and were brought a piece of a paper receipt on its own - no check holder? Okay, I have reviewed the payment and prepared the money. Nobody came to our table during an appropriate time period so we had no choice than to go to the bar. At the bar, I was asked do I need a change and how much do I need! I see this place has a big number of 5-star reviews and I wish I could rate it higher than I did. I strongly advise the owners to provide more training for your staff as it is obvious they don't know how to deal with those nowadays rare cash transactions and sincerely wishing this restaurant all the best.

I took my partner here for her birthday dinner. We had pretty high expectations given this place is in the Michelin guide, and all those expectations were exceeded. The food was absolutely incredible, and for the standard being given was also a bargain. The staff were all so nice and the wait times for everything ordered were great. What was really impressive was that even seemingly rather mundane options on the menu has been taken to a whole other level of creativity that we couldn’t have ever imagined ourselves. Seriously impressive! To top it all off, the owners left a birthday card and the staff also brought out a final treat at the end to say happy birthday. Thank you to everyone who hosted to us for what was a truly special meal. We will be back!

This was an impromptu lunchtime visit for two people. I popped into the bar to ask whether they might be able to accommodate us for lunch and the barman said that they would squeeze us in. It seemed really busy, with almost every table taken. We sat in the bar, and the waitress quickly came and took our order. Whilst the two course lunch menu looked appealing, we chose from the a la carte menu and were delighted with our choices. The belly pork was amazing, as was the steak. Desserts were fabulous too. Cappuccinos came with lovely chocolate brownies but sadly we were too full to even attempt them. Fabulous food, a warm welcome, what's not to like here?

This is a lovely setting for a pub, it's lovely inside with a nice atmosphere. The food for me was average, we had the mezze starter boards which I thought were expensive for what was on them. We ordered the fish and chips for our mains which again, I didn't think was anything special, pretty much what you get in any pub but the peas were nice and the homemade tarte sauce I thought was very nice. I didn't enjoy the Mille feuille for dessert, too sickly and no crunch to it. Personally, I thought this was a nice place to enjoy lunch but overall, it was average, HOWEVER, I did think it was very expensive for what it was. £16.25 for a GLASS of wine. The staff were very pleasant but I agree with another review on here that the service was slow and we were there at lunchtime when it was not overly busy.

Went here for an anniversary meal and overall had an excellent experience so no major complaints. Just a couple of things that would just push it to perfection. Had the antipasti sharing board for the starter, wasn’t to my tastes at all. Just didn’t blow me away for the price and how it sounded on the menu I would say it was very average. Would have benefitted from some olives or fruit in my opinion. Pork belly for main which was beautiful, so tender and not fatty at all. Would have liked some apple sauce because even though the pork was delicious I just love the flavour combination, however didn’t really get much opportunity to ask as service was a bit slow for my liking. Although I don’t like staff all over when I’m eating I felt like the visits to the table were a bit infrequent and while I appreciate it was probably a busy Saturday night I felt like it would have been nice to have a bit more of a look in. The staff were very friendly and polite however I did have to keep prompting them to come over when I wanted the bill etc or wanted to order another drink etc etc. Shared a sticky toffee pudding, was tasty but extremely sweet. Got a lovely surprise at the end of the meal which made me smile. Overall excellent but not quite perfect. Thanks

Fantastic 2 year Anniversary experience with my partner at the White Hart; we even got a lovely card and the staff made us feel special which was great stuff. We asked about the history of the building, and received a very consciousness response from our server. Really yummy food, quality products used and attentive, slick service - making very good value for money! The food comes from local suppliers and their garden kitchen and this shines through the dishes. If I may I would say that while the Malbec & Bordeaux wine selection was flavourful I would kindly suggest taking a look to see what else could be offered at this price point. However, good value and felt inclined to leave a nice tip. 😀

This is my 3rd times here and it is not surprising that I highly recommend this place. My advice is save room for dessert. My starter and main was rather boring compared to my sister tofu start. But the star of the show was the dessert as it come to the table you can smell the acidcity of the fresh fruits and it is the perfect balance of sweetness and acidcity when you cut into the tart.... when you think this dessert is too light and lack a punch the banana sorbet provided it.

Food excellent as always but … we were asked if we wanted water for the table as we arrived & I said yes. The water arrived in a refillable bottle so I assumed it was tap/filtered water. No. When I checked the bill at home...

We booked to go here for dinner as in the area for a work trip. Initially booked a table outside as the inside, though historic, seemed very dark from pictures. When we arrived I couldn't have been more wrong, the interior was stunning so asked...

Absolute gorgeous place . And good is out of this world. Didn’t had space for the desserts but next time definitely coming here to try that desserts tasting board 🥰 love the service as well, guys are very down to earth and with the good sense of humour. I am glad I discovered another great place for a good food near my area.

Amazing place. From starters to desserts the food was excellent and refined. The staff was also lovely and the atmosphere in this old building was very pleasant. We really appreciated the time we spent there.

First rate. Quite an unassuming frontage off the road, and we wondered if we’d come to the right place! But as we pulled into a packed car park it was obviously heaving! Characterful interior and a building with a fascinating history. Food was really delicious,...

After many recommendations we decided to do the drive picking up family along the way and it was well worth the drive a hundred times over. Truly exceptional food with fantastic attention to detail. Customer service was pure gold and nothing was to much trouble....

Quality of food was as excellent as ever and plentiful, even when selected from the set menu. Been a bigi fan for many years and standard only gets better. The special summer taster menu meal was really very good

This was an excellent meal. Really good service and wonderful food. We came here at short notice having had an awful experience at the nearby Lamb at Buckland. So very pleased that we did

We sat in the pretty garden on a hot sunny day, trying (with moderate success) to stay within the shade of our umbrella. Drinks, thank goodness , were served promptly (including a generous jug of water); food (the set lunch for one of us, pizza for the other) took a little longer (there was an event being catered for at the same time). When it came, my companion's squid starter was piping hot; plump and juicy squid with a crisp, crunchy coating and tasty dipping sauce. His beer battered fish was equally good, and yes, the chips were "proper" good too. The peas had been tarted up with mint and the tartare sauce lived up to expectations. The only downside was my pizza. I'd seen the huge wood-fired oven and in my excitement, gone a bit rogue (I'd never normally choose pizza) seduced by the woody smell and the promise of truffle honey amongst other things. However my heart sank when a piece of chilled dough was sliced off a bigger lump, squeezed through a mangle and yanked into a vague round, scattered over with toppings and shoved into the fire. The result was as expected; an unyielding, dense crust (no time allowed for the yeast to work its magic). The excellent chilli oil I poured on top went some way towards lifting things but if we return I'll stick to what they do best and leave pizza making to those who know how.

Fantastic food, great service and lovely atmosphere. Good value for money - duck fat hash browns were amazing! This was my third visit and I can’t wait to go back again. Lots of lovely details for a special occasion and a great selection of non-alcoholic drinks.

By far the best food I have ever eaten in the UK, worldwide its in my top 3. The chefs here are superb, the staff are amazing. Super friendly and knowlegable, I even got a tour through the building and a little of its history. An absolute perfect evening for my family. This will be the place to return to!

I celebrated my birthday in January there with some friends. And I’ve returned here last weekend. Everything was great, the food was amazing then and now. One thing what I suggest to pay attention to the toilets… they are pretty grim.

Unbelievable food, selection was fresh and clearly planned seasonally, the service was smooth and consistent, always attentive to us without being too overbearing. My wife and I had an amazing anniversary dinner and couldn’t be happier - can’t wait to come back!
