The White Hart in Rochford

The roast beef dinner was really good. Just like homemade. Service was good and staff friendly. Definitely worth a visit

Went to The White Hart with friends and again, not disappointed. Food was fresh and plenty of it! Jordan and the staff were friendly and attentive, and didn't move us on when we stayed chatting. Thanks again - still the best pub 👍

Beautiful pub, with very friendly and welcoming staff. Haven't had a meal there yet, but will definitely return to try the food.

this pub is a little gem and we're so lucky to have it in the village. the food was really lovely. I had seabass, cooked beautifully and the staff were lovely, very accommodating. Go there!

Excellent place to eat with very friendly helpful staff.

Just enjoyed a wonderful meal at the Whitehart in Hockley. Congrats to the team. Service from the two was was superb, roast perfectly cooked, and good value for money. Well done! David Clarke

The food here was excellent so tasty and the service was amazing, definitely be coming back.

Brilliant little pub, fantastic owners and one of the few proper pubs left!

We ended up in this pub by chance and tried out their menu. To our surprise the good was exceptional, the staff were also very friendly and accommodating. The price of food was so reasonable. I will be returning very soon and most definitely recommending to friends and family.

Was a shame on the length of time everyone had to wait for a drink. The grounds are lovely, the music was fabulous but we gave up waiting for a drink after 20 minutes. Do understand that there were probably more customers than usual but need to up the game for service.

Only had a drink in the garden and it was lovely,nice and seculid. Would have eaten, but the restaurant was closed. Very attentive staff.

Saturday lunch with a couple of friends. Pub was quiet when we arrived and we were served very quickly. Typical Pub grub, I had steak pie, chips and vegetables, very tasty and a proper pie. Perhaps a little more expensive than other local pubs but still good value. On site parking.

Old pub with very friendly and excellent staff. Beer and food great !

Lovely local pub, pleasant atmosphere and friendly staff. A favourite in the area. Whilst I haven't tried it. The food comes highly recommended by many that I know.

Food was fantastic, service was great. Atmosphere lacked

Chose to catch up with my daughter here after she'd been to Clements Hall. I've never been before, despite living in Essex all my life. What a great pub - staff were lovely and friendly and the inside and outside areas had a nice feel to them (we sat in their lovely garden). Traditional pubs are to be cherished, wish this was my local! 😊

Arrived late in the evening but they were still very happy to serve us dinner - great service, good food, prices and drink!

We hired the function room for our Mums Wake last week 17/5/24, & we were all pleased with the lovely hot buffet & the lovely staff, & as it was a nice sunny day we were also able to sit out on the patio tables & chairs & their garden

The food was very nice and the service was very quick considering we came in on short notice. Jordan our waiter was very funny and kind and was always up for a laugh. He made it a better experience. There was also a very nice garden as you can see the photos below

Good waitress service. Nice garden. Starter, soup was very meagre portion about half centimetre deep! Tasted nice with a hot crusty roll. Main course, Mushroom stroganoff with wild rice, to salty. Desert, rhubarb crumble and custard, crumble was slightly burnt which spoilt it.

Great pub with a good atmosphere!

Brilliant service nothing to much trouble

Great place for a social atmosphere, good food & selection. Drinks reasonably priced. Definitely not a Wetherspoons, but who wants a to go there.

Nice friendly local pub with nice staff and a decent menu. Recommended.

Visited White Hart today with my wife for a Roast lunch. Having checked reviews which are generally positive it fell well short of our expectations. Everything lacked flavour, Lamb very tough, roast potatoes didn’t seem fresh (aunt Bessie vibes), cauliflower cheese very over cooked and again no flavour, veg again seemed pre packed. Was just extremely poor given the high price point of £18.50 per head. On a plus our waiter was nice as was the yorkshire pudding and the pre packed mint sauce. Can’t recommend this place unfortunately and won’t be returning for food again. Shame as the pub is a nice place for a drink.

We had a great evening with friends enjoying a lovely meal which was more than we could eat, & served by friendly caring staff. We throughly recommend The White Hart.

Friendly staff, good real ales that rotate each week. Surprised they don't get dizzy! Food is good too.

Nice food bit expensive for Pub food !!

Food was amazing. Portion sizes were large. We arrived early and they let us sit in the pub at the table we had booked until it opened. Very welcoming, table of 7 and everyone had a great meal. We paid another visit on the 29th December we booked a table for 8. Some of our party were held up but they were relaxed about it. They checked if we wanted refills for our drinks. We checked what the late arrivals wanted to eat and ordered before they arrived. The waitress made 2 trips to the kitchen to check on ingredients for us. 1 of the party was vegan and they apologised that the only thing they had was a bean burger which she had an assortment of vegetables. The food was well cooked big portions and piping hot, we had Cod and chips, garden or mushy peas. Scampi and chips again a choice of garden or mushy peas. A beefburger and chips could add cheese if wanted. Linginue and meatballs with garlic bread everyone enjoyed their meal. Dessert we had Christmas pudding which was vegan, a brownie, lemon roulade and apple and cranberry crumble all served with your choice of custard, cream or ice cream. Our waitress said that if we go again and a vegan meal is required to let them know and they would make sure there would be more choice for her, but she did enjoy her meal and her 1st christmas pudding in years. So many thanks to all the staff who served us and cooked our meals we had a great evening.

Lovely village pub with a generous beer garden, function room and wide range of food and drink, including ales. Had the ham egg and chips and it was spectacular. Thoroughly recommend.

Recently had a party here and was very impressed with the service. Everyone was so helpful. The manager Mel couldn’t do enough for us. Would happily recommend this pub to my friends for their parties. A great night had by all.

Nice environment, lovely relaxing outdoors area.

We are lucky to have such a wonderful local, welcoming, clean, and great food.

What a great evening, brilliant atmosphere and service. Mel put in so much effort to make sure everyone enjoys the evening. Thank you

Brilliant place. 1st time. Staff Brilliant. Music Brilliant atmosphere Brilliant 👏🏻 👏🏻 👌🏻👌🏻

A nice friendly local pub with a local atmosphere. It was a beautiful sunny day and i day outside with a pint

Great little pub but the food was disappointing. No roast available and the scampi and chips was over cooked. Staff were lovely though

Had a lovely evening with family celebrating my husbands birthday. Usual friendly, attentive staff & relaxed atmosphere. Good selection of ales & yummy food. Perfect evening. Thank you The Cook family xx

Called in for a light lunch. Quality of food very good. Staff friendly and efficient. Indoors of pub clean and welcoming. Out grounds well set up good for dogs. Would recommend and will be back.

Really nice local pub, small and very traditional, friendly staff and the food is really nice, plenty of parking and great location, they also have live bands and events on as well

Went for a bite to eat today .Lovely pub with nice garden area .Staff were lovely and attentive .Food was quite good but limited menu

Usually very good but no food on the day I visited Ample space in carpark, friendly staff

First time here ,food is great staff were very friendly, and good prices, 10/10

Had a great evening at The White Hart to celebrate my father-in-law’s 80th birthday. Fantastic food, excellent and attentive staff and lovely atmosphere. Jordan, Darcey and Bex did a great job looking after us, as always, thanks guys xx

Good pub but prices for sandwiches getting out of hand . At around £10 it’s over the top. Shame service is good but prices getting unreasonable for a local pub.

Great ,food and staff 5 stars will be going bac

Great local pub. Very friendly service and great food.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff

Fantastic staff particularly Jordan and Victoria, amazingly good food, great portions, especially for bar snacks, check out the ribs as a main, we definitely recommend The White Hart 👍🏼

Fantastic family run pub. Excellent food with a good atmosphere

Mothers Day Lunch. My daughters treat to Alyson. Made to feel welcome and special as soon as we arrived. Great atmosphere. Service and food impeccable. I would highly recommend this fantastic venue.

What a customer focused, friendly and welcoming place to have lunch. Took my Mum for a Mother’s Day treat and everything was amazing five star experience and what a lovely treat for them to give my mum a splendid bunch of daffodils on departure. Thank you for making my mums day special. Highly highly recommend this lovely pub to everyone

Lovely mother's day meal, food was amazing and they gave us mum's a bunch of daffodils at the end. What a lovely touch. Thanks to Jordan and all staff at the hart xx

Great Sunday roast. Takeaway service excellent. Lovely staff

It was our first time there we went for a Sunday roast .... unfortunately it was a disappointing lacked of everything ....tastes... flavour... portion....but the price didn't after paying £60 for Sunday lunch and drinks sadly we will not be coming back had to have something to eat at home as soon as we went in ....the only good thing the actual pub had a bit of atmosphere and the people and the staff were friendly.....

Great venue, beer garden is fantastic! Service could use some work, very hot and cold depending on who is serving and worst prices in the area.

Fantastic little pub with great staff and great character. Had a lovely sunday roast. Whoever made the gravy was a blooming flavour genius. Loved it.

We attended a wake here, have to say the food was very good also the guy who served us ....but, although it says disabled access, that was definately lacking, we had to go right round the outside of the pub to get into the loo. My husband was advised to use the female one as was nearer but but to do that you had to climb up stairs! Getting into the venue was also an obstacle course, he wouldn't have attended had he known how difficult it all was!!

We enjoyed a very nice lunch. Food was tasty and well presented. The staff were really lovely too. Thank you!

Wonderful meeting place for locals

Went to a wake there and as usual service food facilities were top notch! And not first time we've been there.keep it up!

Used White Hart Service station again today, once again service was above and beyond :)

Very pleasant friendly pub with restaurant.

Had an excellent roast beef Sunday dinner here with everything cooked to perfection. Lashings of gravy which is unusual when you go out to lunch. Delicious bread and butter pudding for dessert with again, lashings of thick custard. Empty plates and bowls all round👍

Fabulous food would definitely go back

Had a lovely meal there today with my parents, Uncle and Cousin. Very reasonably priced. Staff were very friendly.

Lovely friendly staff nice old pub. Nice garden area

Great food, lovely staff. Reasonable prices.

Pub looks nice, all beamed up inside. I ordered a ribeye steak on my visit. Steak was more like a cheap flat iron from lidle.

A good country pub with gardens - patio - dining and good beers

A Very Enjoyable Evening,Not Too Sure About Toddlers Running Around The Bar At 9pm Though,

Sat in the garden and listened to a live band. Lovely evening

A lovely place to sit in sun with shade and enjoy a drink with family and the dogs, food always good.

Lovely country pub with a great garden.

Very Very nice place good food.

It's still had my name carved in the bench. The cider was rubbish then and it still is! If you don't fancy a nice cider you will be fine?

Traditional pub, olde worlde decor and large garden. Good choice of real ales and excellent pub food. Feel a bit weird as a Northener praising an Essex pub....it would fit in well 'up North'.

Really excellent food! Had the takeaway roast, thoroughly enjoyed! Massive portions, so tasty! I had chicken, friends had lamb. Top quality meal. Friendly polite efficient service. Can't recommend enough and will re visit!!! Geoff. Update - had another meal there today lovely haloumi burger, and chicken with Stilton and leek sauce and new potatoes. Delicious!

Drinks are fairly expensive, but a friendly service & a pleasant ambiance. Can recommend the chicken goujon wraps.

Pleased to say this pub is a 5 minute walk from our house. Its a lovely friendly pub- staff are amazing- nothing is too much trouble- food is lovely - great portion sizes - we will be regular visitors!

Nice pub with friendly staff and well kept selection.of beers. Food looked good but didn't try it myself on this visit.

Food is amazing the staff are really friendly and the whole place is very clean. Will definitely be returning.

Wonderful food, lovely cosy friendly atmosphere. Outside spaces to eat and enjoy the gardens, highly reccomend!

Excellent customer service and very friendly
