The White Hart Hotel in Welwyn Hatfield

Normally the Sunday roast is spot on! Not this time wouldn’t recommend if this is the standard from now on Was with me daughter for a get together for a while so was special moment Staff were friendly But the chef let us down unfortunately!

We were so looking forward to having a nice Sunday roast here. So disappointing. The guy behind the bar was new and inexperienced he had no idea how to make a shandy or spritzer. Which just made us feel sorry for him. Obviously his first time behind the bar with very little support. The staff were really friendly and helpful in the restaurant. We ordered our food which arrived promptly. Ordered a 3 meat roast which cost £37. Unfortunately the chicken was tasteless and the roast potatoes were inedible. The veg was cold. The Yorkshire puddings and gravy were lovely however the cauliflower cheese didn’t taste like there was any cheese at all. The staff were really attentive and took our feedback well. We were given a discounted bill. Such a shame the food wasn’t great but really pleased with how it was dealt with. We will give this pub another go because everyone has there off days. But won’t return on a Sunday. We were give a discount of about £15. I hate complaining but wanted to provide feedback.

Wow what a place. We were given a voucher a great gift. The food was awesome the staff excellent so friendly and chatty nothing was a problem. Lovely atmosphere continue with what you are doing you have a great venue here

Despite visiting White Hart several times for dinner over the years, we have never joined them for a Sunday lunch. We changed that on New Years Eve. Sunday lunch at the White Hart is one of the best roasts around. Portions are extremely generous, and the food is really good. That is complemented by amazing service. The only disappointment was not being able to take in one of the desserts!

Shared all the starters and loved the lot. Had a great burger for the main. Ambience is great, service good too. Recommended.

Visted venue for a funeral tea. Really good service, and food was nice as well

Just back from a 5 night stay at the White Hart in Welwyn and what a lovely place it is! Was here for work but would definitely come back for a pleasure trip. Perfect location in a beautiful little village with a variety of pubs and restaurants. The food here is amazing! The short rib I had just melted in your mouth and the steak my partner had was also delicious. Staff are fantastic, breakfast was great, accommodation was lovely. I can’t say anything negative about the White Hart. Thoroughly enjoyable stay!

Service appalling! Roast dinner was very good , starters not good value for money . For the money something needs to change.

The bluemark entertainment team did a wedding here and it was fantastic ! Adam and his team did an amazing job accommodating some special requests and fed all the supplier with delicious food ! The food smelt so good as it was being prepared prior to the service - I knew it was going to taste great.

Been a while since I reviewed but we eat here regularly so only right I update. Recent visits for Sunday lunch and also a Saturday night tasting menu with drinks package. Great food, best Sunday lunch locally for us. Very welcoming staff and also some great cocktails :)

Lovely room with spa bath. Wonderful food and really good service and staff. Would recommend and definitely stay again👍

A very disappointing evening meal for three. Starter of tacos was sub-Nandos in standard, just two bits of breaded pork in an unwarmed wrap. Main course steak arrived cooked well done, rather than medium as ordered. This isn't a slight detail - for a steak, this basically defines the dish you are eating. When asked whether everything was OK with the meal, this was gently raised - we were given warm apologies but told that nothing could be done. At a proper restaurant (and at £40 a head with drink, this should be a proper restaurant), I would expect at least some remediation on the spot for a mistake like this - an offer of a second steak, a glass of wine, or striking it out from the bill. We didn't ask for this, but that's where standards should come in. I've had better meals in a Toby Carvery. Staff seem to be trying their best but we won't be back.

Arrived for a meal and left with an experience like no other. Started with the pork rib taco with salsa Verde which was a fantastic combination of flavour and texture of the soft taco and crunchy breaded pork. The homemade onion soup had a great depth of flavour along with the onion jam chutney hiding at the bottom to accompany it which worked beautifully. The chicken schnitzel with truffle Mac and cheese with Toscana kale was a well rounded and balance dish, everything there had it’s place. I truly believe they could take away the salt and peppers from the tables as everything was seasoned to perfection To finish of their take on an apple crumple was light, refreshing and flavourful. A massive thank you to Charlie, Marc and Elle in the kitchen. A massive thank you to Freddie, Brie and Charlie for their attentiveness and bringing an outstanding and exclusive atmosphere.

Stayed one night for work didn't arrive till late so went straight to the room which was very nice and quiet and very comfy bed

Exceptional roast dinner, service was amazing! Couldn’t fault it. Well worth a visit!

Great food, super friendly staff and we'll certainly be back again!

Sunday lunch once again first class 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 well worth the money for me and we will keep on returning… puddings aren’t bad either

I wanted a place to hold a 16 person family get together with great food and service and I’m so happy I chose the White Hart. From my first email enquiry Adam was so helpful, friendly and very happy to tweak arrangements to best suit our choices. We requested our own buffet menu, tweaked to perfection by the accomplished chef. The setting was lovely with car parking and toilets nearby! The ‘icing on the cake’ was the fantastic waitress who was highly efficient, very friendly and yet completely unobtrusive 😀 Thank you White Hart for such a lovely lunch and afternoon.

We had breakfast, Dinner and a Sunday dinner here in June 2023. The food was simply delicious, with plenty of variety and a decent wine list. The service was excellent, and we felt very welcome.

A Friday before the Bank Holiday en route to France. We knew traffic would be tragic (correct), so opted to stop overnight on the way south. Welwyn is a quite affluent small Hertfordshire town and the White Hart felt a better fit than a similar priced Travelodge. Plusses. The staff were second to none. Welcoming, knowledgable and hospitable. The pub itself was good too, pretty much as the advertising blurb. We though didn't stay in the pub. There are four exterior lodges, formerly stables. They are in need of a little tlc. The cobwebs and bird muck on the outside doesn't really endear you to a place. We were in S4 and inside was fine other than being a tadge dated. A quick jetwash would really make a difference. I would not put anyone off visiting here, the enthusiasm of the staff alone make it worth the effort, it just requires some basic bits 'n' bobs put right.

It’s going to be difficult to recommend The White Hart because, we will really struggle to get a table in the near future. Six of us for Sunday lunch, my sisters just loved their food, nothing left on six plates, must be the best food around these parts(but don’t tell anyone)and the service is exceptional.

Nice atmosphere, and pleasant staff. Don't have breakfast if going for Sunday lunch because it takes some eating it's huge :).

We have just had Sunday lunch here and oh my! It really was the best one we have ever had, I have to say everything about our meal was spot on! It was hot, big portions meat cooked to perfection, the potatoes were crunchy on the outside but so fluffy inside, the veg were a lovely mixture and the Yorkshire pud was homemade and huge! This meal was truly delicious it really is a must to go and try as I can assure you you will not be disappointed not one bit! But I can’t forget the staff who were so lovely and polite and could t do enough to help you, the manager came and chatted too which was nice, honestly this place is really lovely, free parking too, so you have no excuse. Thank you for a perfect meal.

Often eat here as it’s local and amazing. We visited last night for the tasting menu with drinks option. Food was first class and had some great drinks we probably wouldn’t normally buy. 10 out of 10!

Form start to finish staff lovely, hotel excellent, room very clean and comfortable with everything you need including some lovely coffee and biscuits. Bed really cosy and an excellent shower.

Beautiful food, great service and surroundings. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal here and would definitely come back again

This restaurant has a lovely warm ambience and we sat next to the giant historic fireplace. We came on a Sunday and I have to say the roast dinners were amazing! They came with roast potatoes, vegetables (green beans, spring greens, mange tout), a roasted carrot, Yorkshire pudding and a side of cauliflower cheese. The portion was big and tasted delicious! I also had the beetroot and goats cheese starter which was a little disappointing, noway near enough goats cheese and whatever the white sauce was it was tasteless.Overall very lovely meal and I will return, I will make sure I save enough room for pudding next time!

I have to say that our meal on Tuesday night was superb!! - we were socially distanced & not rushed.....the service was spot on & we all agreed that this venue will be top of our list - I had ‘Banana & Fennel’ soup.....it was the most delicious soup I have ever had....& I love my soups....everyone else also enjoyed their choices....we totally recommend this restaurant to you xx

Yummy fancy pub grub. The steak was so tasty and cooked to perfection!!!! We loved the soft shell tacos. The staff were lovely and the service was wonderful. We will definitely be back. Thank guys

It was with some excitement but some reservation in going for our first dining out occasion for some months. Myself and family went for Sunday lunch last week and was enamoured by the beautiful coaching inn setting, the friendly service and the thought put into cleanliness and spacing. Most importantly the food was excellent.

My wife and I dined at the White Hart as part of our Golden Wedding anniversary celebration. Despite coronavirus situation, everything was beautifully organised, social distancing observed, excellent food and great, friendly service. Highly recommended.

Food and wine excellent. Service top notch, professional and friendly. Atmosphere just right whether a meal out with friends and family or a romantic occasion for two.

Came here for a Saturday morning breakfast, warm and cosy pub. Service was great, man behind the bar was very friendly and took our order. Full English was great, beans and the salty bacon were the highlight. Coffee was good too! A good breakfast and a decent price too, would recommend.

We've been staying in the hotel regularly over the years, and always eat here too. I think this may be the 2nd time since it changed hands. We opted to eat in the bar as it had a nice atmosphere and was more informal. No problem - they kindly reserved a table for us. The menu was a bit odd - a bit of a weird mish-mash of dishes - with starters seeming at odds with the mains. The starters were the sort of thing you'd find in an upmarket restaurant with culinary ambitions, but most of the mains were much more basic 'pub grub' type affairs. Very little on the starters appealed, but the Korean chicken wings were lovely and we picked the peppers from the nibbles section, also yum. For mains, I had the fish burger with sweet potato fries (lovely fries, the fish burger was a bit dry), and my husband had the battered halloumi with chips - which he said was good. Ice cream for dessert was yum, though not very well presented (just 3 scoops in a bowl, no swafer or garnish). The wine was lovely. Overall, a good experience :)

Group of us came here for our Christmas get together, pre ordering off the Festive Menu. This place has a serious chef producing the most delicious food; the wild mushroom mince pie really is so clever and delicious. Turkey to follow cooked beautifully with all the trimmings and the dessert....always my favourite as what they say, is what you get - ie ‘blackberry and meringue’ and you get soaked blackberries with soft meringue and crunchy meringue, SO delicious. Oh and you just can’t beat their halloumi fries. A fantastic evening with nice wine and great service. This restaurant is well worth a visit for any meal, Sunday lunch is unsurpassable too.

Had a very pleasant lunch from the set menu at a reasonable £19 per person for three courses. The food was of a good quality and the service friendly, polite but not rushed or intrusive. There was a good choice of dishes on the set menu, the full lunch/dinner menu was also available, which again had a good choice at reasonable prices. Overall, a excellent venue.

Booked this purely for convenience for a meeting but its now in the book for places to stay. The room is a little dated but clean and functional for what I needed. Dinner in the bar area, my choice was excellent and well priced. Breakfast was even better. Well done guys.

Visited last week with a group of friends. Food was excellent and very reasonably priced on set menu. Service was very good. Look forward to returning soon.

First impressions were great - easy to find with good parking, initial lovely old feeling with nice bar, but we paid extra for a four poster bed, which was really just a normal bed with wooden posts, nothing special about it at all. Dirty carpets in hall and lobby, leading to dirtier carpet in room. Shower ran warm and scalding hot alternately. Room hadn’t been cleaned properly with bits all over the floor and someone’s used cuticle stick left at the end of the bath. No net curtains and a view over the major junction in front of the hotel meant the whole world could watch us in our room. Our friends in another room had no windows at all. We were very disappointed as we had paid the going rate for a good quality room with four poster bed,Staff very polite and attentive though and the downstairs dining area was great, with a brilliant filled cooked breakfast. 2 star up to 3 star - just for that.

Stayed here for one night. On arrival we meet by the bar staff who checked us in and helped us with our luggage to our room.The room needed a little TLC and the bathroom was clean but could have been cleaner.Extra towels were provided on request.The food is very good and service to match.Breakfast is very nice. This is a gem of a place just needs a little bit of TLC here and there in the room. But I would recommend to stay

Ok so where do I start? Firstly I’m writing this in the bar after probably the best toad in the hole I’ve ever eaten (& I can make it) I wouldn’t normally write a review until I’ve left but on this occasion here I go. I walked in and shock horror there’s no one at reception- hold fast there’s a sign saying join us in the bar if we aren’t here (or words to that effect) liking that and within seconds I’m welcomed to the hotel. A choice of rooms and I settle in (pop down to the bar = settle in) quick pint then a wander around the village - oh sorry Mr Moan I couldn’t find an ironing board but I’ll live. Back for a cheeky vino & the toad in the hole - bit busy with a large group but they were very pleasant and wandered off - no idea where. Peace resumes and I crack on with my meal - not only sausages but pork belly - it was delicious- I’m writing with a full tummy and already looking forward to breakfast. Dammit forgot to mention tip top service- friendly, fun and attentive. So far so good & no reason to doubt it won’t continue - right off for an early night in preparation for breakfast. Well done & thank you the White Hart

Went last Sunday for a mixture of 2 or 3 courses.

After looking forward to a Sunday Roast we were very disappointed. I ordered the chicken which arrived grossly overcooked, it could not be cut with a knife and fork. Managed to eat the potatoes and veg. Husband ordered the beef, in his words it was 'OK'

Had a small family reception today. Food excellent, nothing too much trouble. Service fabulous, thank you for adding to our special day.

Visit here last Friday early evening first time really enjoyable . Lovely old building had the sausage in the yorkie with the pork . Service with a smile deffo be back

A group of us had lunch yesterday and it was throughly enjoyable. Most of us had a variety of Sunday roasts which were all cooked well and very tasty. We also had selection of starters and desserts which were very nice as well. I personally had the pork belly croquettes to start followed by roast beef and bread and butter pudding with custard. The croquettes were ok but the rest of the dishes were delicious. The staff were very attentive and friendly and the prices were very reasonable, I’d definitely return.

Although we have dined at The White Hart in the past, this was our first visit since the refurbishment. It was an impromptu private lunch to celebrate our wedding anniversary, before a family party two days later. I was hesitant when I read the Tripadvisor description which says that the restaurant serves "light lunches" but I telephoned and was assured that the Tripadvisor description was wrong; the same menu applies to lunch and dinner.

Excellent Sunday lunch and great service First time here after a good recommendation from a friend. Will definitely be coming back to try the other dishes.

Took my dad here for his birthday lunch and food and service was superb.

We’ve been here a few times for Sunday lunch, and we are never disappointed. We’ve tried the roast chicken and beef and both were top drawer! The staff are always friendly and the atmosphere relaxed. We don’t live local to the pub, but it’s always worth the 30 mins drive!

Amazing food, great atmosphere, friendly members of staff, adorable prices, and one more time really tasty food. Definitely I will be back.

Taking my disabled daughter to lunch in this town centre hotel/restaurant was a pleasure. Easy parking in the hotel car park, friendly but not pushy service providing good basic fare and a decent pint!

I have had good experiences here previously but was not so happy when I took my daughter for a meal last week. The waiter recommended the toad in the hole. The Yorkshire pudding was really stodgy, even the crust was soft (possibly kept warm). I told the waitress, who seemed very inexperienced. At the end of the meal, which I did not finish, we were presented with the bill. There was no response to my complaint and nothing taken off the bill. I had to ask about my concerns again and was told that the chef said it was cooked for 20 mins so was not a problem!! No apology, nothing taken off the bill. Not really good enough for what is really a very expensive pub meal.

Wonderful food , charming service and a lovely atmosphere.Thanks to the chef and staff for a great lunch , we left replete and happy , what more could you ask for ?

Excellent in every way. The room, food, breakfast and service was very very good. Would highly recommend. We had a lovely Friday night and our hotel room was A1

Our family of 5 had Sunday roast on 9 September. We had chosen to try out the restaurant having had many first class meals at their sister restaurant, The Tilbury. My wife and I had roast beef and I reckon this was one of the best roast dinners I had eaten in a restaurant; up there with Simpson's. The meat was perfectly cooked, moist, tender and gristle free. The portions were very generous; so much so we had to share our beef with our (adult) children. The roast lamb ordered by the children looked similarly delicious. I have just one comment which would improve the experience. After speaking to the children after the meal about their lamb I was told that their meat was not hot; just warm, whereas the beef we had shared with them was just right. I can only assume that the lamb dinners had been plated first in the kitchen and had been left standing whilst the beef was plated. So I would suggest that before the food leaves the kitchen it is checked to be hot and served on hot plates. A relatively minor point and easy to implement. The dining room was atmospheric and the tables were placed a good distance apart so even though the restaurant seemed to be full it was not noisy.

Great restaurant; good menu and average prices. Delicious food and wonderful cocktails in the bar; the one with pink gin and prosecco is our favourite!

The food was excellent along with the staff and service. Definitely recommend and will certainly be returning.

I went here years ago, probably 10 and was looking forward to coming back given the rave reviews on TripAdvisor. However as much as I want to give it 4 stars at least, I just can't. The service was fantastic, with the staff being very accommodating and generally pleasant. But it's just not a very inspiring place to be, it really didn't look like it had changed since I went all those years ago. No real atmosphere, yes it's an old coaching house/hotel - but it just needs something. As for the food, average - I went for a burger, not very exciting I know. It was just average - looked great as per the other photos on here but just wasn't nice.

The White Hart is a historic inn in Old Welwyn. The dining room has a huge fireplace and lots of character with the tables well spaced.

Staying here for the night so we thought we would try out the restaurant and see what it has to offer. Just had a meal here and it was beautiful! The service we received was perfect and was especially helped by a man called Adam who is a credit to the restaurant. The setting is really lovely with tables not being to close to each other so it wasn't too noisy or cramped, this meant I could really enjoy the company of my partner. For mains we both had the soft shell crab burger and I highly recommend trying! Also if you can try and leave room to try the desserts they are to die for! Thank you so much for an enjoyable evening and look forward to coming back in the future!

First for the good bits: the pub has a lot vintage charm and the welcome by staff was very friendly. On the plate, though, there was a lack of consistency in the quality of the ingredients used. Eggs, black pudding, mushrooms and especially the home cooked beans were excellent but the sausages and tomatoes were lacking in taste. I don’t think it was a proper butcher’s sausage. If it was, it really lacked seasoning. The tomato was barely red, therefore not ripe and didn’t have either sweetness or the right texture. The tea was also weak and although we ordered tea for two, we were served a small pot, enough for just a small cup and a half each. As the breakfast took a little while to come, we didn’t have any tea to drink with the food.

Another excellent meal at The White Hart! One of our friends, who has eaten at most of the top restaurants in London, said that the lamb he had was one of the best meals he had ever eaten!

Perfection is a lifetimes work and it is a target that you will rarely, if ever, achieve.

Great Ambience. Excellent staff. We arrived for Father's Day lunch unknowingly having made the reservation in another restaurant with White Hart in mind! But they made us welcome and managed to accommodate us. Few staff members but very efficient and friendly.

On route to a music gig in Welwyn Garden City from Derbyshire chose from Trip Advisor, The White Hart, Welwyn.

Lovely pub with friendly atmosphere. We were a group of six people who had various meals from the menu all of which was very nice. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful we will definitely be returning again.

Had a table booked for 8.30 to be told on arrival it wasn't ready, after chasing twice we were finally seated at 9pm.

6 of us ate here recently and it was great. Not been since it's been under new ownership but have been to the Tilbury in Datchworth quite a few times, so had quite high expectations. All of our party had a great time and loved the food. The Ox cheek starter was excellent, as was the pork main (pork belly was amazing and the best I've had in a long time) Staff were all really friendly and helpful, too. Will definitely be back and would recommend! :)

My twins are at Hertfordshire Uni so as family were travelling some way we checked Trip Advisor for good local restaurants. The White Hart had good reviews and certainly didn’t disappoint us and the food was amazing! All our meals were pipping hot and arrived in perfect time, not rushing us between courses. They even brought the Birthday cakes out on time and gave us plates and a knife to cut them there and then! Polite staff that couldn’t do enough to make our visit more enjoyable! A hidden gem and will definitely be back! Highly recommend the Sunday Roasts!

My Sister & her husband had booked us into The White Hart for our weekend catch up. From the moment of arrival everything was perfect. Lovely ambience, helpful staff & spot on real ale, wine & cocktails.

Dans les sous-sols de l'hôtel, un restaurant chaleureux, chic et bien éclairé. La carte n'est pas immense mais bien construite allant du cheeseburger aux meilleures viandes et poissons. Je recommande l'épaule d'agneau cuite lentement, tendre, rosée, un délice. Belle carte des vins, bon cidre au tonneau et prix corrects.

Adam and his team run a great bar with tasty bar food and a fantastic gin selection. Adam's passion for his subject and impressive knowledge made for a brilliant night out. Definitely one to repeat - again and again!!!

Very nice, relaxed restaurant with super friendly and accommodating staff. Food was absolutely delicious, the sirloin of beef just melted in the mouth. Staff did not hassle to or hover, will definitely visit again. Thanks to all for making a special day for all of us.

Went in the White hart for the first time ever & I had a superb large freshly made coffee at a very reasonable price.

A first visit for us to The White Hart restaurant and we are looking forward to returning! We had a very enjoyable lunch in the lovely dining room. We both chose from the a la carte menu rather than from the very good value set menu offered at lunchtimes. The duck was extremely good and so very tender and juicy. Cooked to perfection. Lovely service from Adam who is very knowledgeable about both food and wine. Good wine list. We shared a cheese plate and all four cheeses were interesting and delicious. My one and only criticism (and it's a small one), is that the crackers served with the cheese plate could be a little more varied and interesting and smaller in size! Will be back soon.

We dined here yesterday for a late Sunday lunch with my 2 young sons. The food was totally faultless. An amazing set menu offers 3 courses for £22. Each course was delicious and perfectly cooked. One of my sons had the kids sausage and mash and said it was 'the best in the world!' The presentation and quality of the childrens food far exceeded anything we've had recently and it was great to have so many lovely options for them on the menu. The manager and staff provided excellent service and we really can't to return. Looking forward to sampling the evening menu soon!

Although living in the area for over thirty years this was our first visit to the White Hart.

Last night We met some friends at the White Hart, not having been there for a while. we were all very pleased and surprised with the restyled restaurant. The staff were very attentive and the food was excellent.

This was our second visit since it was taken over by new owners. Last time we wad a great Sunday roast with the kids, but this visit was an evening affair and - just wow! - they knocked it out the park.

What a night! A private function taking over the whole restaurant and bar to celebrate James's special birthday. The venue was superb, having been set up to accommodate around 100 guests, canapés and drinks to begin the evening followed by the most amazing dinner. Salt baked sea bass cracked open by Chef Gigi at the table served with a herb dressing. IT tasted creamy and was delicious accompanied by roast potatoes and green beans or for the meat lovers roast lamb and mint sauce. The tables were cleared to then accommodate the disco and dancing continued into the night - where a cheeky late night buffet of hot sausage rolls and sandwiches helped with the soakage! Well done the staff team did an exceptional job and I would highly recommend.

Not been to the White Hart since James and Tom of The Tilbury took it over and I was really pleased with what they have done. It has a different vibe now, a new lick of paint and the food has gone up a few notches. Roast Sirloin of Beef has simply ruined my Sunday lunched now as it was simply beautiful, still think I have the winning Yorkshire puds but theirs are coming close. We were there with my fussy kids so when their butger arrived with a dressing on it they moaned but our waitress immediately said it was no issue and gave us new ones (or at least they appeared to new which if so was good enough to fool the kids)

We were a party of 24 and had a fabulous lunch at the White Hart. Everything was superbly done and the food amazing. As a vegetarian I sometimes find the food is a little uninspired at some restaurants but the menu here was great. I was also impressed by the service, ad the prices for the quality of food is excellent. Also, Adam's knowledge of the wines etc is second to none. Thoroughly recommended for either lunch or dinner, both of which we've sampled.

The restaurant had a great atmosphere and although it was a busy evening we had attentive and wonderfully entertaining service from the team. We had great food starting with the salmon and the (VERY yummy) venison pie followed by soft shell crab burgers (the chef is a genius!!!) and ending with the chocolate fondant and Christmas pudding. The Sauvignon Blanc was a lovely accompaniment and Adam’s wonderful recommendations for port and sherry to match our desserts were spot on! A real treat this have such great food and service so close to home. I will definitely return and happily recommend to my friends. Thank you to Adam and the whole team for a lovely evening.

Fantastic food and drinks, great cocktails we loved being the guineapigs for their new 'christmas pudding cocktail' its greeaaattt!!!!!!!
