The White Hart in Uttlesford - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The most awful experience i’ve ever had ! I honestly love to eat out with family and only once in my life have I sent food back, ordered a carbonara and my son in law and husband ordered pizza. In all fairness the pizza was very nice but the carbonara was cold in the middle and clumpy which was a sign it was re heated and smelt really gone off, my daughter ordered a chicken burger which came out 10 minutes after all the rest of are food came out even though we ordered it all together, by the time she came to eat we had already nearly finished so was left to eat by herself. I sent the carbonara back due to the facts stated above, it was honestly awful baring in mind there was only 2 tables of four including us. The way the staff treated us was the worst i’ve been treated as well, they apologised for the burger and said was their fault as they didn’t realise it was on the ticket but when it came to the carbonara we where told it was not cold and it was perfectly fine. IT WAS NOT ! while my daughter was finishing her burger everyone was gathered in the kitchen almost staring in disbelief that we sent the carbonara back and not only that but as we where leaving the restaurant the staff were laughing at us. Safe to say from someone that eats out quite regularly the was probably the worst experience yet !

Brought the family (8) here for drinks & a meal . Welcoming & friendly atmosphere. Great service , food superb …. and the Pizzas OMG 👌👌👌 We will be back

Superb food, especially homemade Pizza. Friendly and welcoming staff and customers… great atmosphere, will definitely be back with friends. Thank you

Fantastic time and food. Great value.

Lovely place and friendly staff and owner. Locals are brilliant and open to talk.

I was in a party of 7 and went on a Friday which pizza night and I have to say the pizzas was cooked to perfection the cider was excellent and service outstanding. It was the first time Ive visited the White Hart and will definitely be back it has a really great atmosphere.🍻👍

Great place to visit and the staff are friendly

What fantastic service and perfect pizzas, thanks guys always nice to bring the family xxx

Tasty fresh food, friendly service. Reasonably priced for a local pub. The pizzas are delicious along with the Italian salad

Only stopped for a drink. Good atmosphere.

This was a lovely old Inn, delightfully restored, with a warm atmosphere. It was busy for a Wednesday (big book club session going on) and the concern of the landlord !nd his partner was evident. He needn't have worried: we were just worried that we might miss last orders for the kitchen! The dinner was perfect - a very good pizza cooked by the Italian kitchen operation, a hearty Caesar Salad and a tender, moist and excellent chicken burger. The beer was very good, too. This is clearly a popular spot in the village: our Airbnb host recommended the pizzas highly. The atmosphere is friendly, there is a refreshing absence of music, fruit machine and pool table. All in all a five star spot for a comfortable and well cooked dinner, with friendly and attentive staff and very reasonable prices.

Nice pub in a quaint location a quiet and peaceful little town. The restaurant kitchen were very accommodating with the food that we liked and preferred and prepared this exactly as we asked despite this particular dish not being on their menu. We couldn't have asked for more. Great selection of beer to choose from, and all very reasonably priced too! The outside garden area is small with mainly sheltered seated areas and is lovely. Really enjoyed our visit and we'll definitely be revisiting again soon.

Just go and try the cheese garlic bread and the triple cooked chips.

Great pizza & the outside seating is well thought out, staff welcoming and decent beer. Will revisit 👍

First experience, lovely venue, great food, all staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming

Lovely lunch ,, good village vibe and friendly atmosphere and congratulations on your new addition to the family , will deffo be back 💕

A buzzing little pub with good beer and great food

Przyjemne miejsce i obsługa dobra atmosfera polecam

What rude staff. We were not even acknowledged, just a simple we wont be long but instead no eye contact was made. Will never go there again.

Popped into this pub for a drink and food after a walk. Man serving behind bar completely ignored us. Didn’t acknowledge us for the 10 minutes we stood there waiting to be served. 13 of us in total who wanted a drink and food. We walked out after 10 minutes of waiting Not recommended and made to feel very unwelcome

First visit, very happy service good, staff very friendly, food excellent plus a charming place to just go fir a drink with friends.

Wonderful local. Delightful ale, welcoming staff. An absolute gem and a benchmark for what a good local should be. They cater for all tastes and the staff know how to run a pub. Keep it going!

lovely Sunday Roast, nice atmosphere and welcoming staff.

Staff friendly always, lovely family, friendly pub, food amazing, will definitely go back again 😋

A fantastic local amenity, great atmosphere and great food. The pub hosted a party for my wife's birthday at the weekend and everybody had a wonderful time, owners and staff very warm and welcoming.

Popped in for some drinks and something to eat at 7pm. Was told by the bar staff that they're fully booked and can't accommodate us until 8:30. That's fine we accept it's busy. Beer selection mediocre at best. In the meantime the bar staff were only interested in talkig to, and serving their friends and ignoring others. We ordered at 8:30 and was told it would be 15-20 minutes for the food. After 45 minutes we chase it up and was told 4 minutes. After a total wait of an hour we left and got a takeaway. Absolutely disgusting attitude from the staff and we won't be returning

Went here tonight for my partners Christmas works do and the food was amazing and the owners were amazing.its a little hidden gem.will definitely be back 😁

Thank You for a really enjoyable Sunday lunch😊👌 The roast pork was delicious, we asked for crackling and it didn’t disappoint!! Friendly and helpful service!! A real traditional, Tudor Pub!! It was my birthday, I thoroughly enjoyed my treat!! 👍👍👍😃 Thank You!!!

Having just moved into the area we are so pleased to have this lovely pub on our doorstep. Food is really good and all the staff are lovely. With the garden newly refurbished it really offers everything you could want.

Popped in on a Thursday evening with family for a quick drink and bite to eat. Friendly staff welcomed us, the pub was very busy but it wasn't a problem to get a table as we where just before the evening rush. Will definitely book a table next time to avoid disappointment. It's not an extensive menu but there is choice and what they do they do very well. The menu is available to view on there Facebook page It was clean and welcoming inside, great to see a village pub that is thriving and the hub of the community Will definitely be returning Wish we had a similar pub in our village

Great venue good service ideal place to enjoy food or drink in traditional public house.

Lovely traditional welcoming pub that serves high quality food. Went with friends and ordered Charcuterie Sharing Board, Pizzas, Salad and Desserts - all delicious. Pub was busy, lots of friendly locals from village. Staff very helpful. I would recommend highly.

Brilliant - ticked every box! From the genuine staff to the freshly baked pizzas - they make the dough, have a huge pizza oven and the food was awesome, hot, fresh and served with a smile. It was my wife’s birthday and they sorted a small cake I bought with me, put candles on it and served it with care. Rare to find a pub like this, clean toilets, plenty of parking and steeped in history. This is how to run a pub. Landlady was young and so helpful, on our wavelength and determined to ensure we had a good evening. She didn’t fail in that and 10/10. A great experience and will definitely go back very soon. This is a hidden gem, thank you!

We went to try the new owners new pizza menu, the pub not only has a really great warm atmosphere and very friendly down to earth owners the pizzas were amazing really good quality and very reasonable.

Great pizza and nice people that run it.

Meagre food portions of poor quality. Menu mainly pizza but not available until 4pm. Caesar salad 4 outside lettuce leaves and couple of slices of chicken but no olives, anchovies etc. Ice cream seems to have been re-frozen. Full of ice crystals. Unfriendly locals. Give it a miss.

Beautiful, quaint, very relaxing

Fabulous live band - Jack and the Giants. The place was packed and everyone had a great time. It is really good to see a small pub supporting live music.

Great meal pub was busy mid afternoon.

Lovely pub grub! Good beer and friendly staff.

Great little spot, with plenty of outdoor seating

It's OK. Landlord could be more friendly.

Very friendly lo am meeting place. Highly recommended

We stopped here for Sunday lunch with my girlfriend’s mum. The food was really good, I’ve not been out for a Sunday roast as good as this for years, I think the chef was also one of the ladies that served our table, she was brilliant, very friendly and helpful and the young waitress was very pleasant as well. Sadly, the guy behind the bar (I think his names nick) was very stand offish! He didn’t offer anything near a warm welcome and wasn’t helpful when it came to seating us at a table we’d called to reserve, we just stood there then decided to go and find it for ourselves. After the meal, I went to get another drink but he decided to serve two people instead even though I was there first, with an empty glass! I decided to just go back and wait for the the others to finish their drinks and then leave. Such a shame as the warm welcome mentioned in other reviews was what attracted us but also what caused us to give just three stars.

Back in time Public House Lovely Oak Beams with Roaring log fire very much a locals pub but everyone seemed friendly

Popped in for business meeting and met a few colleagues. Very nice pub with real charm, good selection of ales and good friendly service. Well worth a visit

Lovely pub and B&B set in a fab location ,all the locals were very welcoming and friendly. Accommodation was great lovely big bed and clean bathroom. Food was very good

Lovely Sunday lunch. Will definitely return

Nice village pub, food is good depending on who is cooking. Landlord brews his own beers one being "Biship Nick" which I understand is excellent, I prefer lager. The person that Manages the Pub must have had another bad day as she was extremely rude, what her problem is I don't know, but she should not be front of house. Prison Officer would probably be a better career path.

Very friendly olde worlde pub that sells it own brewed beer alongside other real ales.

Food good but somrtimes service a little slow very nice staff

Been here many times and never disappointed. Always make you welcome. Has an open fire and feels like a traditional country pub. Sunday roast is a good choice- lamb, chicken or pork. Good value and a hearty meal. Check out all the quirky odd bits of items hanging around and enjoy the humour.

I stopped here for a quick visit/drink after running the Stebbing 10 mile race. Very well used by the locals & all very friendly to a visitor. I drink real ales and I saw @ least 3 on show, Adnams Ghost Ship, a local brewed IPA & the one I had which was a red ale(name was connected to Remembrance Day, but can't recall exact title!) which was very tasty indeed!! Nice & smooth. I walked down the road after, to go to the car park, but couldn't find my phone amongst my kit bag!! A local, saw me struggling with clothes, towels etc all over the pavement, offered to call my phone for me!! When we went back to the pub a few minutes later, it was still sitting on a table, untouched, but ringing away. Highly recommended 🍻

Had Sunday lunch here as part of a group of 10 and nobody was disappointed with the food. The menu catered for all tastes and the portion size was perfect. I will be returning when I visit again

Lovely pub serving fine drinks.

I wasn't impressed at all.The food wasn't as good as it used to be and the whole place could do with a freshen up.

A must visit pub for my son when he visits from Brisbane. The welcome and the food are both very good. The ploughmans is a firm favourite, and not to be underestimated, take your eating boots - they will be needed!

Quaint and noisy village pub serving home brewed real ale.

A proper Sunday roast. Lovely fresh cooked food. Very reasonable price. Thoroughly recommended.

Dropped by for drinks and to feed the children. Beer on tap was excellent, really well kept. Kitchen was nor serving food yet, so check what time food is available before making the trip. Very nice old pub, the owners have managed to keep it friendly and traditional, not dated or grubby. Must try to get there for food one day.

Great atmospheric old pub. Good food.

Decent pub with lovely surrounding gardens. Staff helpful reception decorated very nice. Good for a small reception.

Still a local free house. Couple of real ales and the usual suspects on tap. Very friendly couple who own the place. Food the the usual pub fare. Good size portions well cooked at really great prices. Def worth a visit

This pub is a perfectly pleasant place to drink. They had a guest bitter on alongside their own brewed Hart IPA (bitter) which is brewed out the back of the pub. There are a couple of premium lagers on as well as Adnams Ghostship which had run out when we visited. I think this pub does food at lunchtimes and the Sunday lunch is supposedly quite special but I havent eaten here myself. A lovely little village pub.

Nice place for a pint but no food Monday Tuesday Wednesday gave up on Thursday they need to put it on their website the menu looked great

Pleasantly surprised at the friendly atmosphere good selection of real ales Well kept! Good place to meet friends for a chat

My wife and I had our very 1st visit to the pub and we where due to meet a friend visiting over from America and a few other friends at 8:30 but that didn't turn up till 9:30

It is over ten years since I was a regular visitor to The White Hart and I always had fond memories of the fare and warm welcome we always relieved. The welcome was still there, and some of the items of interest hanging on the walls are the same. The tuna panini was hot and the cheese melted and although the side salad was a little limp, it still tasted good with the honey and mustard dressing.

This pub is actually in Stebbing, near Dunmow, and was handy for meals when we stayed at the excellent Motts Cottage B&B; in the village. It really is a village drinking pub and meeting place for the locals but we were made very welcome on our 3 visits there enjoying some good meals, including a huge Sunday lunch. It has a lovely atmosphere and is obviously very popular with families, getting together for a meal or just a drink. We really enjoyed our visits and would certainly go there again if we were in the vicinity.

Nice local village pub selling decent range of beer and still got a pool table👍. Not eaten here due to hearing mixed views but it does busy.

Very pleasant Sunday afternoon! Dog friendly

Ha sido muchos años desde que fui a un pub del pueblo y me ofrecieron comida de pub 'adecuada'. Decidimos bastante tarde en un lunes de pascua que nos gustaría una comida de pub y el White Hart pudo encajar - sin haber hecho investigación llevamos suerte y aparezca. El pub era acogedor, la gente amable y el menú no es lo que esperábamos! Desafortunadamente el bistec tarta casera y ale y pollo al curry estaban completos y las opciones vegetarianas no suena muy aventurero. El Hart sin embargo, IPA y excepcional whetted nuestro apetito. Uno de mis platos favoritos pub es huevo jamón y patatas fritas. Cuando este llegó, ME bajaba un chip en la yema de huevo y en el cielo la comida! Qué maravillosamente preparados patatas, yema de huevo y jamón cortado fino y densamente. Mi compañero estaba gratamente sorprendido por la hamburguesa Vegetariana, las patatas fritas eran muy gruesas cortadas, sabrosa y bien preparada, la cebolla anillos un buen complemento y la hamburguesa no es el típico insípido que ofrece. En general, estuvimos encantados de haber encontrado un honesto pub local, con un personal amable y comida sencilla pero sabrosa. Volveremos seguro!

Friendly country pub with decent pub grub and beer brewed on site

Popular cimmunity pub with good food at reasonable prices.

Usually visit this pub in the week before Christmas so there is always a lovely open fire. The food looks good and seems reasonably priced but we have only ever stayed for a pint or two. Service was friendly.

We have friends in stebbing whom we visit usually on a sunday and regularily visit the White Hart for sunday lunch. Now I will admit about a year or so the quality of meals did go down hill and we stopped going for a while but over the last 6 months the quality of their food has gone back to what was normal in fact I would go as far as saying its the best sunday lunch I have ever had from any restaurant or public house. Allso I must mention the young ladies who serve the food. What lovely polite and pleasant young ladies they are.

Friendly atmosphere, helpful staff & had a lovely enjoyable meal.

This is a totally unique comunity pub. Food is so good. Friendly staff. If your in the area call in.

We had a fantastic Sunday lunch here.The choice of vegetables was excellent and there is a choice of meat or you can a mixture.The gravy was delicious and the roasties scrummy.Only £8.95 .My friend had a lovely homemade burger and the ploughmans was generous It would be nice to have had a few more homemade desserts to choose from.the sfaff were friendly and the service quick.A lovely old typical village pub.

Agradable pub del pueblo, agradable, con un buen surtido de personal de almuerzo. Decoración hogareña con fuego de leña. Área básica de estar fuera. Agradable después de un largo paseo.

Having just moved to great bardfield we have used this pub fairly often having Sunday lunch on three occasions The food is good honest food and the roaring fire a welcoming draw in the winter months It's so refreshing to find a proper pub that is clearly the hub of the village serving good food and drinks.

There's not an awful lot of choice in Stebbing, and we'd just walked a roundabout 4-mile route from Great Dunmow, so we were just grateful there was somewhere we could get a bite to eat and something to quench our thirst. Pretty standard in every respect, though friendly service. I don't think we'd go out of our way to return, but it's ok.

This is a traditional village pub, serving good beer and cider etc.. The local brew is excellent. Traditional pub food plus. Friendly staff and locals. Just the sort of place for those who like a Real Pub

I have visited this pub many times and each time I thoroughly enjoy myself. It is cosy and the staff are always up for a laugh. I went last night on Christmas Eve and even the local vicar in there was singing carols having a ball. The food - every time I have had a roast I have always enjoyed this. It's no Jamie Oliver but what it is is a rustic homely old fashioned pub where the locals gather and is value for money. The women on the bar are always welcoming and this is now my local.

Stebbing has a wonderful High Street boasting many old buildings with lovely architecture and were pleased to find it possessed both a corner shop and pub!The White Hart looked beautiful from the outside but on entering things looked very different. Unfortunately, the pub, as previously stated, was very tired and the publican was grumpy on both our visits, appearing as if he would rather be anywhere but there, a polite, warm welcome a courtesy surely if you wish to attract new customers. We had to wait to be served and in the end a lady sitting at the bar went round and served us drinks!! The food was ok, although we only had sandwiches, but shame about the outside space at the back of the pub. With a little attention to tables, chairs and decking, some outside plants, it could be a comfortable area to sit on these warm days, but it was drab and unloved. It felt as if the landlord had given up which is a shame because they are losing valuable trade, so important when public houses in village locations are closing with regularity. It would be a crying shame for this village to loose what is clearly a valuable asset.A cheery smile and welcome would work wonders even without the cosmetic improvements although a more varied menu; a coat of paint, new flooring etcetera inside would go wonders to improving this lovely old building too, so come on Landlord wake up before its too late please as we would like to visit again some time when improvements have been addressed.

Finally I can write this review for this pub! Myself, family and friends used to come to this pub all the time as the staff were great and the food was fab, but in the past year it has gone decidedly down hill, especially the food and menu! There is a miserable landlord (who was there before) and a woman there who thinks she is some kind of chef when clearly she is only there to drink wine and flirt at the bar as we waited ages to be served by her and then to be told how great her Sunday roasts were and turn up to a plate of gravy covered slop!!!! Going past the kitchen we could see the waitress and the woman helping themselves to food and dipping roast potatoes in the gravy directly from the saucepan they served it from - not very hygienic or professional!!!!!It could be a great pub if they went back to how it was and fired some of the lazy big headed staff plus gave the Landlord a kick up the back side! We miss the old pub and grub!!!!

One of the worst places I have ever been in. Dingy, tired interior, with hard uncomfortable seats. But the worst thing - the staff. A man (presumably the Landlord) and a young woman behind the bar were rude and ignorant. We did the only sensible thing and walked out. First and last visit to The White Hart. If this is what passes as hospitality in Stebbing - God help them.

The White Hart is a village pub of the old school. Simple British food home cooked, very reasonably priced. Sunday roasts are particularly good and good value.There is a microbrewery on site, producing Hart of Stebbing ales, and there are also guest beers and ciders regularly. The staff are all efficient and friendly, though it may take you a while to awaken the gentle soul under the grumpy exterior of Nick, the landlord. It is worth the trouble though!There are regular musical evenings and afternoons, and occasional charity quizzes which are great nights out.See you there!
