The White Hart in Chiltern

We visited on a Sunday lunch time with a group of 19 family members for a birthday celebration. The food was excellent and the service just perfect. What a lovely place and lovely people!

I’ve been using this pub for many years. It’s an atmospheric old country pub friendly, family run with roaring fires and kept as clean and sparkling as a new pin. It has a great garden for the summer. Their food is excellent and reasonably priced with great local beers and a good wine selection. What I had not experienced until today was their Sunday roast. Served by a professional and enthusiastic young staff it was just delicious from its crunchy roast potatoes, huge yorkshire pudding to the red cabbage hiding beneath the perfectly cooked joint. Perfect in every way!

We often visit this pub, very friendly staff, and one of the best pubs in the area for food with excellent service. Recommended

Visited early evening for a meal after an afternoon motorsport experience. Clientele and staff very friendly, with a diverse range of home made food on the menu. Food was all made from scratch so chef was easily able to handle a food allergy. Everything was piping hot, and really tasty, with good sized hearty portions. Good range of beers available. Would highly recommend.

Solo visit for my birthday. Very welcoming. Attentive service with very polite waiting staff. I believe one of the waitresses had only two weeks in service so training and selection is clearly of a very high standard. Starter, main and drinks all excellent. The only disappointment was that I didn’t have room for dessert. I’ll be back.

First visit to this restaurant based on previous reviews and had a lovely evening. I had the Soup of the day (Sweet Potato and Leek) as a starter which was delicious. Then my wife had the Battered cod and chips while I had the Vegetarian Cottage Pie. Both, again, were delicious. We finished off with the Apple and Plum Crumble and Salted Caramel Ice Cream, both great finishes to a delightful meal. The staff were great and very friendly. All in all, one of the best evenings out for a meal for quite a while. Will definitely be back.

My Dad booked this for his birthday dinner on a Sunday afternoon as a big group we were spoilt, well looked after, lots of parking and excellent food. Service was prompt and very happy to recommend

What an amazing place! Delicious Sunday roast, with a good local pint, along with superb service. The log fires added to the ambience - so welcoming and cosy. Nothing was too much trouble, including a takeaway crumble for dessert - I couldn’t manage it after such a fabulous main of roast pork and all the trimmings! We would highly recommend this absolute gem of a good traditional pub. We’ll be back!

This small, cosy country pub has the most amazing food. It is outstanding, fresh food prepared from scratch. We have only just discovered it but will be back often

Brilliant food, service and atmosphere. Reasonably priced. Overall very good.

I deliver here and staff are amazing

A hidden gem in Buckinghamshire. Lovely staff that will even knock up a salad for you if it’s not on the menu, great quality food in a nice and cozy setting. Highly recommended!

We arrived as a party of four late evening and the staff were very accommodating. It was a great atmosphere and the food arrived fairly promptly and was excellent quality - we had the Fish and Chips, Cumberland Sausage and the Rib Eye steak. All the dishes were excellent and very well presented. We will definitely be returning to this pub/restauranr.

Amazing venue, food is to die for and the owners are always welcoming and warm! What more can you want? Thank you Catalin and Anca!

We were blown away with the hospitality and great service! Came in without reservations for a quick bite. We were promptly seated and offered both the Christmas as the regular menu. We went for the Cod Cakes and Bangers & Mash and both were absolutely delicious! Our host told us their Sticky Toffee Pudding is a favourite and now we know why. Definitely one of the best Sticky Toffee Puddings we ever had. The pub was a former cottage and they managed to keep that cozy cottage feel. Two wood fire places were on, which made it very Christmassy. We’ll hope to come back some time!

Fantastic food, great atmosphere. Efficient service.

Sunday roast was fantastic, hopefully next time we come we will have a bigger table for 3 people

Great traditional pub serving good quality pub food. Atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. Loads of off road parking had a great night with friends.

We havnt been here for a while and decided to try a late Sunday lunch - only slot we could get was 3 pm - fully expecting to get the dregs ! It was rammed - lunch was just great - roast beef not over cooked and food very hot - brilliant - the owner is the chef and the ladies serving are wonderful - Apparently they have 3 sittings on a Sunday - and serve 150 covers up till around 5pm - this is a very small pub 2 large log fires ! Please don’t go as we’ll not get a table next time !!! We’ve tried numerous pubs for Sunday lunch all around the area this is by far the best

Just ordered a roast and a pudding from the white heart and I can honestly say it was absolutely delicious. Everything cooked to perfection. The way the food was packed. Thank you so much! I have a feeling I might be ordering from here every week. 😂

Very pleased with an impromptu visit and was served a fresh and lovely pie. Service was lovely too. 3* for atmos' only because it was a bit quiet tonight.

Nice cosy pub,log fire for company.Outstanding food and service.Would fully recommend

This place was amazing. As soon as you walked in, the atmosphere was warming and welcoming. The service was second to none. We sat down and ordered the food. I went for the ribs, not my normal 1st choice (a burger is always haha!) But goodness me, they were delicious, the meat fell off the bones and then sides were delish, I really liked the feta cheese with lime n chilli. The others I was there with had fish n chips and the burger. Whilst we were waiting for the mains, we were presented with 3x ham hock n cheese crockets, WOW..... thank you!! Needless to say, not a scrap of food was left (except my bones) Thank you, I will be revisiting.

Excellent quality food, nice and cosy pub, great menu

Dropped by after a trip out, so glad we did, what a gem of a find, food was fantastic, nice welcome on arrival and great value for money, quality and presentation of the food was amazing, very tasty and flavoursome we will certaintly return again soon.

Lovely food. Lovely service. Took some American friends for lunch. They loved it. Traditional pub grub.

Really lovely place The landlady was so friendly and the food was delicious, go hungry if you want the ribs, sooo much meat on them

Took my family out for dinner. We all had a great time and they loved the food. Buttermilk chicken burger is everyone’s favourite meal. Thank you Cat and team!

Friendly and quick service, delicious food. Fish and chips couldn’t have been better. Kid’s portion a good size and went down well. Will definitely return!

Did not have a meal but looked at a nice menu and booked for Sunday

Had a really nice meal today service fantastic very friendly great food the lady who,served us so patient I had trouble getting my card to work she helped me

Great food, great drinks and great service! Lovely garden and nice atmosphere - will definitely be back soon!

Great place to be with delicious food. Kids and dog friendly with lots of green space for running around. And the best homemade desserts ❤️

Food was amazing we had 3 starts and a side salad it was just the right size for 2 people. We will 100% be back

We visited for our daughter’s birthday. Lovely country pub, very friendly team. The food was delicious, the whole family were very pleased with their choice, would recommend

Fantastic country pub with lovely food. We were made to feel very welcome, as was our dog. Hospitality was second to none. We will definitely be going back there soon. A lovely time was had by all.

First time we'd ever been to this pub and it was absolutely excellent.

Nice little pub tucked away from the main roads. Friendly service and good food. My only complaint is that the dessert portions were miniscule and the dessert prices were way too high. A small ramekin of apple crumble and a small pot of custard was £7.50....literally two spoonfuls.

A meal for four with all courses well cooked and well presented- Pub atmosphere makes for a cosy evening on a dodgy summer night. Attentive staff make this a good reason to visit

Looking for an “out of London” pub for lunch today, giving the car a run. Booked this pub and what a find. Had pork belly and salt & pepper squid starters, Beef and ale pie + fish cake mains, cheesecake and crumble desserts. All fantastic with great service. The team were unflustered even when the wedding party arrived and the place was rammed. Well done!

Recommended! I was looking for a pub around Hemel and surroundings for proper food, and found it. The beef burger was outstanding!

Just had a very delicious meal at the White Hart. Very enjoyable evening. Excellent service. Will definitely return. Have now been a few times and each time, friends/family have commented on the delicious food, great service and warm ambiance. 5 stars for what Kat, Anca and Team have created here.

Probably the best Sunday roast I've ever had. Lovely pub and the service and staff are fantastic

Great food and friendly service

Came here on Father’s Day for the first time as I’ve seen the amazing photos on their Facebook page. The food was nice but sadly not amazing and definitely didn’t look anything like the photos my roast dinner was lovely but the Yorkshire our was cold. Staff were friendly. The pub was nice and I would try it again but was just a little disappointed by our first visit.

excellent Sunday lunch ! - great choice and really good standards food / cooking - service very good - attentive - sat in the shade under the tree - thoroughly recommend !

Lovely sunny afternoon, nice beer garden, lovely sunny but quiet spot. Tables well spaced so you can have your own conversation. Attentive service and the food was really good.

Having just returned home after a 14 day touring holiday around the UK visiting many pubs and restaurants en route we decided that our best meal of the trip was at the White Hart. The food was delicious with a definite "home cooked" taste unlike the many places we tried with their Cash & Carry fayre or the brewery/chain supplied rubbish served in all their outlets from a central supplier. It is a clean, traditional UK Pub, obviously very family friendly (and animal too judging by the 2 dogs in at the time of our visit) with an large unpretentious fun play area for the kids. No sterile "Gastro Pub" atmosphere with architectural props from the auction house, poor staff training, and carboard food here, just a genuine local with good food, friendly efficient staff and a traditional pub atmosphere. We will return to support such a lovely family run business when in the area again (and of course enjoy their great food)

Love the roast dinners .. can even take my dogs too ! Lovely roaring fire when it's cold. 10/10 for friendliness,service and food x

Really nice people very friendly and good pub food 👏

Was a random googled place to have some lunch after a driving experience nearby, so glad we picked The White Hart, staff were so friendly and helpful, great choice on the menu, food looked great when it came out and it was cooked amazingly well and was delicious and as we all had different meals every dish was cooked to perfection and can't wait to go back. Great disabled access for my grandad in a wheelchair. Overall it was a lovely place and great value with high standards. Even the person serving us brought out a pudding for all 5 of us to share as we were too full after our meals which was really nice of him. Recommend this place 100%

We eat out regularly and I can honestly say that our first visit last night was one of the best meals I have had. I had the lamb shank with cous cous and asparagus. Meat was cooked to perfection and the multitude of flavours of the dish was amazing. My partner went for the salmon and sweet potatoe curry and that's my dish next time. Service was great in this lovely pub.

5 stars from me for a lovely roast beef dinner and perfect pint. Good friendly service even though the place was packed. Lovely old characterful pub in a pretty Chilterns village

Had a fantastic Sunday Roast for four of us today, served lovely and hot and a generous serving, very nicely cooked and with excellent service throughout. Would thoroughly recommend.

We were a large party of 13 for Sunday lunch. The roast dinners were all lovely, fresh vegetables and potatoes, meat cooked perfectly. The service was also perfect considering how busy they were and our large group. The staff couldn't have been more polite or helpful - thank you!

We popped in while on a walk when the rain set in. The log fires, warm welcome, lovely beer and great food were just fantastic.

The 4 of us booked for Mother’s Day and it was fabulous. No starters as our daughter had a train to catch and we didn’t wAnt the stress. All of us had Sunday roast, 3 with beef and mine the vegetarian Wellington. Every plate was...

Lovely little pub. Small menu thou but not complaining will defo be going back

We had a lovely meal (fishcakes) and the staff and ambience were great. The only things I wasn't happy with was the music which really isn't necessary once there are people chatting and was quite obtrusive and also the fact that some dishes didn't automatically...

The White Hart recomended by friends , a bit out of the way and wouldn't call it an attractive building - apparently used as the unofficial officers mess when Bovingdon was active ?. The pub is tiny and relies on a tented outbuilding sometimes (really)....

This was our first visit following a recommendation and we were made very welcome. It was a good job we’d booked as it got busy very quickly. There were two roaring fires going on what was a chilly evening, which made for a comfortable evening....

An excellent menu with some items interestingly unusual for a country pub. Excellent preparation, attentive service and actual hot just cooked food. Decent prices, comfortable warm fires, not posh, just very good.

Been walking this area with our dog for a year and finally got round to taking friends and a better reason to go to the pub. Did a circular walk then back to the pub for noon. Roaring log fire sat just opposite the bar....

I’ve lived quite local for many years and for a lunch out we decided to visit. This is a real gem, proper pub, proper food, well cooked. There were empty plates! Good Tring beers. Only slight niggle was where we were sat it was a...

A really excellent mid week family meal out. Super food, great service and a lovely Christmas ambience. We will most definitely be back!

Our first trip based on TA reviews. Delightful pub with excellent food. We had duck starter, halloumi fries and the duck special. All the food was excellent. Will definitely be back.

Four of us went to The White Hart for Sunday lunch and we were all very pleased. The three roast lunch options were all excellent. The meat was flavourful, the vegetables were well cooked and had taste, and the Yorkies were great. The puddings were...

I would recommend The White Hart to anyone who wants good food and a good friendly service in very pleasant surroundings.

Just booked last minute for lunch today (Sunday). Fantastic service. Staff are very welcoming. Opted for the roast dinner - beef, and it was absolutely delicious. Just the right amount of everything including a gorgeous cheesy cauliflower cheese!! One of the best pub roasts we’ve...

I feel compelled to write this review as I wrote a very disparaging review a few years ago. The White Hart has been taken over since then and it is now a wonderful pub, once again. The menu is wonderful with great and inventive specials...

Yet another really lovely family meal at the White Hart Whelpley. Lovely cozy pub with friendly service. We will be back again soon!

Popped in for a light bite and a beer. Brilliant service and a 5 spice duck salad that was amazing! Sat in the lovely garden, looked after well and thoroughly enjoyed it. Will definitely be back!

Never disappointed food always great and welcoming friendly service. Today we tried the Sunday roast. Oh my gosh the best roast beef Sunday roast highly recommend and will most definitely have again Followed by apple crumble and chocolate brownie yummmmmmm

Went to the White heart on April 2nd. Great service as ever but had the steak pie. Simply fabulous. You will have to look long and hard to find a better pie. A great evening was had by the whole party of nine too

First visit with friends here and we weren’t disappointed! Excellent food, service and atmosphere and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend . Definitely returning for further visits.

Fitted us in at very short notice on a Friday Night, Nice cosy atmosphere with roaring fire, warmly greeted, food was really good

First time back since first lockdown and we were not disappointed. Outstandingly good - menu is very varied and all choices were first class. Welcome was warm, the service delightful and there is such a friendly atmosphere in the pub. Can’t recommend highly enough!

What a great place to stumbled across whilst trying to find somewhere. The staff were friendly with great customer service. I had the homemade pie the beef melted in your mouth. PERFECT. My husband had cod and chips he said the best he has had...

I was so impressed with the quality of the food and the service. We really enjoyed our lunch and the staff couldn't have been more attentive. The pub is beautiful and so cosy, with a roaring fire.

Wow…. As good as ever…. Just fabulous….. Everything was great - but the pies..???! They are amazing!!!! We must go more often! I could have stayed all afternoon in front of the log burner (if I didn’t have a child with me..!!) I can’t recommend...

Everything a good pub lunch should be. The White Hart is a typical english country pub. Plenty of choice on the menu, food was excellent. I chose fish and chips; my friends went for sea bream and chicken burger. Very well cooked, nicely presented, good...

We have found the food here to be generally very good but burgers are particularly good . Extremely dog friendly . Staff also friendly and helpful

Fantastic! First time here and made to feel very welcome. Service and food exceptional so booked to go again the following week!

Went here for Sunday lunch with friends. Apparently this place is run by a couple from eastern Europe. Very friendly and they are clearly making a real difference in a difficult industry (at the moment). They deserve every success and judging by the popularity of...

The White Hart is one of my favourite places to eat, the food is always fresh, delicious & beautifully presented. There is always a good selection on the main menu and daily specials, and the staff are all very friendly and attentive.I highly recommend it and will be returning again soon.

Had a lovely meal here on Friday 4th sept While seeing friends who live nearby The service was wonderful and the food was delicious xxx

This is the second time we have eaten here as a family. The portions for the children were generous and the food was delicious. We would recommend the burgers and scampi.

Stopped for a drink the week before and liked the pub and ambience. Booked a table in the garden the following week. When we arrived went to social distanced bar and ordered a drink and booked in. Did not appear to be a reserved table but found an empty table anyway. I had the ribs. Really good and large portion. Partner had lamb. Also very good. Panna cotta for pudding probably one of the best I have eaten.

Government scheme to get half-price - making it the best value EVER !! However even if I'd paid full price - excellent quality + Carmen has to be the sweetest waitress anywhere ! ( even though she wouldn't sing !!) I previously went to this lovely pub c. 6 months ago - they've upped their game hugely !

Sat in the lovely garden for lunch. The staff were very friendly. Food was great, as was the service. Amazing sticky toffee pudding! Will definitely go back.

Nice food, didn't find it particularly friendly as other reviews have said, which is a shame. I could see bar staff chatting to others, but they pretty much kept conversation to a minimum with me. Not unfriendly but just not the friendly local experience I was looking for.

First time out post lockdown- had tried here for takeaway during so decided to try it for real Pleasant service- superb food but next time may have extra starters and skip main in order to get to the dessert menu- their portions are definitely generous

Chose the White hart as our first meal out after lockdown, and were not disappointed. We were made very welcome and all felt perfectly clean and safe. Menu was varied and the dishes we chose were all delicious. We shall certainly be back!

We ventured out last night after 20 weeks of being locked in due to Covid-19.Everyone was sat in the garden, nicely spaced out with the option of sitting in the gazebo if you wanted some shelter or shade.The food was excellent. The 3 of us had the cod,the pork belly and the avocado salad to start- all lovely, followed by a fillet steak, the lamb and the risotto. My husband also found room for the excellent cheesecake!It was all homemade and tasted fantastic.The wine list has a nice selection of varied wines.The staff were lovely and the service brilliantWe will definitely be back!

Visited last week and had the takeaway burger meal. Good value , very nice burger and a litre of beer. What’s not to like.
