White Hart in Suffolk Coastal

Good choice of food. Sandwiches were lovely. Good choice of drinks. Friendly staff. Pub clean and tidy. Will definitely return.

Attended a celebration last night and it was brilliant! The bar team were excellent, very friendly and welcoming, as were the locals. Delicious curries. Thank you Callum, Jemma, Rosie and team

This was probably the worst meal I have had in years. Everything on the plate (burger/breakfast) was burnt. The lifeless staff behind the bar were totally oblivious to customer service. Everything in this place needs sprucing up and given a bit of TLC.

Great food, great hospitality. Home cooked food. Parking available. Open fire. Home from home.

Sadly we had a terrible experience, we had booked a table for myself and my husband and we’re on time We waited twenty minutes for our order to be taken. Both ordered a starter. 20 minutes later my husband got his hummus and pitta starter ( no cooking to be done) I waited for mine which was a hot Camembert, 15 minutes later when I asked how much longer it would be I was told there was none. I had ordered fish and chips and my husband the chicken roast. No fish! After having been there an hour we said to cancel the rest of the order and wanted to leave. A woman/ cook came out and apologised, I said we should have been told on ordering what was not available,, they had a set Sunday menu for the day so not that difficult. She then asked what she was supposed to do as she had o ky had one fish and they usually have people order the Sunday roast. Then don’t have other things on the menu. She had a terrible attitude and we will not go back. We asked the young barman for our drinks bill which they offered at no expense and seemed embarrassed. On leaving I did tell the young man at the bar it wasn’t their fault but a very badly organised kitchen. Not impressed at all.

Lovely pub. Kind polite service from Megan a credit to your team. Sadly the toilet facilities were not to standard. Locks in operative and gents toilet dirty. Disabled toilet also dirty.

We had a brilliant meal, lamb cutlets, monk fish and asparagus and wild garlic risotto were all perfectly cooked, looked good and were delicious. Puddings were of the same standard. Service friendly, all in all an excellent evening.

Lovely pub, friendly staff and fantastic food! Well priced and really recommend! Dog friendly and always welcoming!

Great Sunday Lunch, everything was well cooked and fresh Had the roast beef it was perfect. Will certainly go again

Really excellent homemade pie and chips. The chicken and mushroom pie was full of the above ingredients and the pie crust was very good. The 'cabbage' as advertised as the veg was actually mixed with several other veg and was actually very tasty. The chips were the best I have eaten in a long time. Well done the cook and the lady behind the bar, all very welcoming.

Even with well spaced tables the atmosphere in this local pub reminded me of pre-virus days. There is a great choice of wine and beer but it is the food that really sets it apart. A varied menu, that includes tapas, made it easy to create a meal to accompany our drinks. The quality of the food is superb

Popped in for lunch great pub food warm welcome just as a local village pub should be. Fresh fish and chips crispy batter wide range of beers and cider We will be back!

We visited The White Hart for lunch on a Thursday. The welcome was warm & friendly & the food very good. The Mushroom Risotto in particular was delicious. The Pub is not close to a large centre of population but it is certainly worth a visit. Thank you all!

Made very welcome upon arrival. Staff polite, informative and cheerful. Pleasant surroundings, with seating inside and out. Dog friendly. Nice menu, reasonably priced and with a realistic number of choices. We both chose roasts which were excellent, the amount and choice of vegetables being great. All in all highly recommended.

Came with friends before a visit to beautiful Otley Hall. Despite them having a Community lunch that day and it being the hottest day of the year we had a wonderful welcome excellent friendly service all dishes adapted to our request and a very small bill- only wish this was our local pub!

We dropped in for lunch. My confit of duck and goat cheese burger with salad was good and my companion had a superb risotto with prawns. Trouble taken to get it right. I am happy to recommend this dog friendly pub.

Friendly welcome and an interesting menu that tempted us to stay and have tea, Greek style mackerel with salad and chips twice, excellent, I wish this pub was nearer to home.

Stopped off for lunch during a ramble and wasn’t disappointed. The food was wonderful and it’s worth going just for the three friendly doggies

Our family of 3 had a lovely lunch here in December 2018. Visiting from the States, and we loved the warm welcome, excellent service, and delicious food. Had a sweet visit with the pub's pups while we dined. Such a wonderful atmosphere to complement the food and drink. Hope to visit again soon.

We booked the White Hart in December having been for lunch in November, for mum's 80th on 26th January . We asked for somewhere fairly quite because of mum's hearing problems. They seated us in a quiet room for our party. The waitress assigned to us was called Maizie, what a wonderful young lady, she went out of her way to make sure we were well fed and watered. Nothing was too much trouble, mum had a fantastic lunch with all her family. The food was excellent and I'm advised the beer was wonderful and well kept. Top marks all round for the White Hart.

If you are looking for incredibly delicious food for an event that everyone will remember fondly for years to come then look no further. Lynda and her White Hart crew catered for our wedding party in September 2018. It was a relatively informal affair with approximately 80 guests but the food on offer was one of the main highlights of the evening and people just kept on coming back for more! We met with Lynda before the event to discuss what foods we would like to have and what would work well with the venue and style of party that we were having. Lynda then fine-tuned the menu to ensure each dish was crowd pleasing, as well as practical for eating buffet style. Lynda’s extensive experience in the industry really shone through and she knew where to source all of the best quality of ingredients locally. We had to ensure that it was all nut and gluten free because of the allergies of some of our guests and she was able to adapt to this brilliantly without compromising on the quality or taste. We explained that we were also on a budget and she was able to help to support us to keep within this without compromising on the quality of the produce. Lynda and her team were able to be flexible with a rather unconventional venue and preparation space but were also to get everything ready before our guests arrived. All of the dishes were presented absolutely beautifully too so it was a feast for the eyes as well as delightful to eat. Initially, she put out a range of antipasti style foods including meats, cheese, olives, humus, crudités and salads. Then she made a range of moreish main meals including chicken curry, tuna Niçoise salad and coronation chicken. She also had a great contact to supply the desserts/puddings including roulades and chocolate mouse tarts. I cannot recommend Lynda and her team highly enough and we will definitely be hiring her for future events too. Thank you very much for making it so special!

Found this on TripAdvisor did a country walk nearby then called in for lunch a bit out of the ordinary with different dishes choice of fat or thin chips will call again

Came here last Thursday. Two of us with a dog. On entering inside the staff were friendly, as were the resident dogs. It was very busy but did not take long to get served. A good menu plus lots to choose from on the specials boards. We chose oriental belly pork strips with veg and egg stir fried rice with sweet chili dip followed by honeycomb cheesecake. Both were really nice and good portions. As it as such a lovely evening we sat outside in the closed in courtyard. Plenty of friendly people coming and going both with and without dogs.

Called in recently for a weekday lunch. Very quiet with only one other table dining. In terms of ambience and atmosphere, there was no fire lit so could’ve been warmer and cosier. The decor is odd, one area is boudoir style zebra print, which feels a bit at odds with the natural charm and character of an old country pub.

We eat and drink here all the time and it’s genuinely lovely. Such an accommodating team and always friendly. Dog friendly Child friendly Fun friendly.

A friendly pub with a warm atmosphere, which served a delicious Sunday lunch with a fantastic array of deliciously cooked vegetables. Melt in your mouth, superbly cooked food.

Friendly, nice fire, dog friendly.

I think this pub is very family friendly have been here a few times, once just for a drink and another for a meal, When we came for a meal everyone enjoyed their food and we thought the service was really good.

Otley White Hart also provides a catering service. Linda did the catering for my party of 40 guests and provided afternoon teas and later in the evening, Moroccan lamb, chicken, houmous etc etc. nothing was too much trouble and the food was amazing. Thoroughly recommend.The pub is also a Suffolk country pub, open fire, friendly dogs mooching round and of course good food and friendly bar staff.

me and 3 friends stopped by after attending a classic car show near by.

Often eat here especially on a Friday night as it's the pizza night! Great pub, great food, great staff and dog friendly ...... what more is there to say?

An open fire, a friendly welcome, good food, a wide range of real ales and several dogs wondering around keeping an eye on all the customers. What more could anyone want?

A lovely place where my friends and I have started coming. Always a warm welcome and I especially love the dogs!!

The White Hart is the most friendly pub you’re likely to find. A far more imaginative and delicious food menu than other local pubs and a good selection of beers and wine. And very dog friendly - my owner loves going there! Albert the Border...

Personal encantador, amable y servicial, incluso cuando nuestro perro era un poco ruidoso. Paramos para el almuerzo y la comida era excelente, con budín muy recomendado! Chimenea crepitante y perros se sumaba al encanto de este lugar. Sin duda volveremos si cerca de aquí!

Recently we have been away to Yorkshire and had a traditional Sunday Roast in a much acclaimed pub..this was much better in all respects. The choice of food , the quality of food and the service and the atmosphere.

The food and atmosphere is super in this village pub. Dog and child friendly (with a box of games for the children to play with). Lynda is a great landlady.

We had several things on our shopping list for moving to a Suffolk village but high on the list was a good local.All we can say is that we've stuck gold with the White Heart.After several meals with family and friends Linda and her team have always exceeded expectations.Being dog friendly is a bonus as our dogs have made many new friends as we have.

My friend and I had a lovely lunch. Really fresh ingredients and packed with flavour. I love the relaxed atmosphere. I'm recommending this place to all my friends and hope to be back soon.

Where do I start? Amazing and wonderful landlady, fantastic bar staff. The food is delicious, varied and having moved into the village in the past year my waistline can vouch for how wonderful the food is! Nothing is too much trouble, anything you fancy they'll try to rustle up,if possible! I can't begin to describe how friendly and welcoming this place is, since moving into the village it's now our second home and living room! Everyone has made us feel part of the village! To anyone thinking they might give it a try I would urge you to pop in, you won't be disappointed! Always welcoming and wonderful food!! What more would you want? If you haven't been, you're missing out!!!

very friendly people, nice food, meal spoilt by the pub dogs who wouldn't leave us alone. I love dogs, I have two myself, but I don't let them sit under the table while I'm eating. Wouldn't return for this reason.

We had a lovely meal here on Friday night, at first we were a bit unsure, they are a very dog friendly pub and there must have been about 7 or 8 dogs wandering round. No problem for us as we like dogs! Service was very friendly and all at the bar. We ordered Spanish tapas to start (chorizo stew, peppers, patatas bravas, jámon, Manchego and olives). It was slow to come out, all their food is cooked from scratch from the looks of it, but it was SO delicious and well worth the wait. For second course 2 of my party had half lobster and chips and I had goats cheese and walnut salad. Again it was delicious. I will be returning when I'm next in the area. Thank you for a lovely meal

My Aunt has just moved to the village and we took her out for lunch. The food was delicious. The choices on the lunch menu were ample and covered all. My husband and I had the Steak & Kidney homemade pie with my mum & Auntie having fish & chips. Service was very good and all staff very friendly and welcoming. We will be back.

Excellent food and service. I just wish it was local to me. I shall return, as I can not rate this pub any higher.

Stopped here unplanned to eat but they had a special evening on and were busy. They would have served us but there would have been a delay so we decided to try elsewhere. They could not have done more to try and send us to somewhere else that would also serve good food. Really nice people :) .

Our family of four plus toddler called in on the off chance to have a quick lunch on Easter Sunday. Although they were fully booked for main meals, we were catered for on a table in the adjoining library.Friendly and efficient staff and lunch was tasty and reasonably priced.

We've been a few times now for Sunday lunch. The roasts - in three sizes - are always fantastic, the closest to a (very decent) home-cooked roast we've ever found. The wide range of fresh vegetables to share on the table are particularly good and it's incredible value (£8 for a medium roast with more veg than you can ever eat).

We do like this place-the food is good and the atmosphere is dandy. Our biggest issue is the service time. We visited with kids including a baby and it took 1.5 hours for our main food to arrive. The baby was fidgety and crying and eventually we left before pudding was ordered. We would have loved to have eaten pudding! We were the first ones to arrive at the pub and kind of hoped this would have meant we would have been in and out much quicker. I think that more staff on special days would have helped.

My partner booked a table for four for Valentine's Day for us and our children (8&6)We arrived and had a friendly greeting and were pointed to our table next to the fire. We all ordered a roast from the menu. The children each had a roast chicken - child size. My partner and I both had roast beef which came in either medium or large.Service was prompt and friendly. We were checked on through the meal to make sure everything was OK. Our meals came accompanied with three large bowls of mixed veg to share which was lovely.We all chose puddings from the board which seemed to be homemade and were very tasty.Our only slight criticism was that the pub seemed a bit cold. We were lucky enough to sit by the fire but only half our party felt the benefit and we noticed other diners had kept their coats on.We really liked the friendly dogs who were no bother and well behaved.We will definitely revisit soon!

As new residents of the village we thought we would try the village pub and we were not disappointed. There is a genuine, friendly welcome, open fire roaring and great atmosphere. The menu offers something for everyone and the food is delicious and good value for money. How lucky are we to have such a great pub as our local.

The White Hart is everything a local should be and more. The food is way above the normal standard freshly cooked with local seasonal ingredients and lots of variety around a basic favourite type of pub menu.The decor was typical old fashioned pub but Lynda and Paul have gradually added their own individual ideas and it is now utterly charming in the way a place can only be that has evolved rather than been done up to an inch of its life. Done up pubs all look identical to me, and with the menus being identical too I never know where I am. This pub is truly one of a kind.

A very nice home cooked lunch with a guest who was staying locally. Everything seemed to be cooked to order, and the menu is wide ranging. Friendly service, dog friendly, great value too. Nice open fire and good vibe in this excellent pub. Will take a detour - Suffolk , not Yorkshire - to revisit in the new year.

We recently had a chance to sample the delicious food and genuine hospitality offered by the White Hart gastropub in Otley. The menu is small, but interesting, and the special ribs were some of the best that either of us had ever had. The mains were super too. Nothing is dull about this little gem in Otley - a happy ambiance brimming with locals and "from aways" like us. Lynda and Paul the owners went out of their way to make us welcome and very well fed. Loved how dog friendly this pub is too, and the pups present were also well tended and had to mind their "p's and q's" :) All around it was a lovely experience.

If your looking for a cosy pub with great atmosphere with fantastic food then look no further, Sunday roast is superb in taste and value in a relaxed environment with a stunning outlook over rolling fields to the rear.

Had a wonderful Sunday evening in the back of this delightful pub in Otley (just outside Leeds). Delightful drink in the front room with a friendly bartender who asked all the right questions and made a perfect G&T. Dinner was great choices -- while I was not able to enjoy the black pudding -- was assured that it was authentically Yorkshire as were the roast selections. Fresh salads, lovely starters,a very nice vegetarian polenta and friendly service. We started a little slow on the service but as it became shared (different staff helping out), it improved!

This pub is possibly one of the best pubs you could ever eat in. If the menu isn't exactly what you want ask, nothing is ever too much trouble. We have had many excellent meals here.

Visited as we were staying locally for the weekend. The pub is very cute and has a lot of character. There are two gorgeous pub dogs they will come asking for food but as the menu says they are just trying there luck they are fed. Had a pint of prawns, fish bouillabaisse and Erin mess all were absolutely delicious. I would recommend phoning in advance to book a table then the kitchen can be prepared for your visit as its a small local pub the kitchen may not always be open.

We arrived at a time when there were tasting plates of the myriad menu choices that grace the White Hart across the year. From first hand I can say the food is excellent, the service is outstanding and the locals are chatty and welcoming. This pub is the locals' meeting place for all manner of reasons - some community, some charity and some just social. They are all good reasons when a pub is this good. Proprietors Paul and Lynda will make you feel really welcome - you won't be disappointed. This place alone made the trip from Australia worthwhile!!

We had a fantastic night as part of the Suffolk Trail Runners night in early August. The welcome was fantastic and the food real quality. I had a superb home made burger which was moist and tasty and of a suitably impressive size. My wife had a pasta dish with pesto which was modest but tasty and the runner's specific menu was a great touch.Having gone here for the first time as part of the running group the wonderful welcome, great food, and pleasant atmosphere means we will certainly return again.

Very helpful and attentive service with a smile. Incredibliby warm and friendly service and I couldn't recommend the White Hart strongly enough.

Quaint pub, nicely laid out and very friendly.Fathers day menu had been reduced from normal menu, but there was still a nice selection, but veggie was a little limited, especially if your not keen on goats cheese and Mediterranean veg.Dad had the roast dinner. Loads of different types of veg, not just the norm boiled cabbage and carrots my local pub does, lots of quality well cooked meat and nice Yorkshire puds.I had a large omelette and chips. My omelette was luke warm by the time my chips arrived, but was still very nice.I love dogs, afraid my dad isn't keen on them sniffing round even though they were called away my dad wasn't chuffed at a patterdale resting its head on his leg begging. But we still have a very nice lunch and will go back again.

Family get-together of 11. We had neglected to phone ahead but we had deliberately chosen a Thursday evening so as to avoid a busy venue. Evenso, the Pub was very accommodating in putting in the table extension upon our arrival.The meals were all excellent, a variety of their home-made burgers, fish'n'chips, lasagne. We were warned it would take some time to prepare, which was fine given all the catching up and socializing taking place...but an unfortunate deletion of one of the orders meant one in the party had to wait an unfortunate extra 20mins. Given the size of our party and the additional drinks orders going in throughout the evening, it was more than a little irritating when our host implied the error was ours...but, in the end, the cost was deducted from the final billDesserts were quite marvellous...and the Hart has a decent selection of both local and big-brand ales.

Sunday lunch never been better - start with Adnam's gin and Fevertree tonic then on to slow roast leg of mutton with roasties and five other veg! Pannacota with boozy raspberries to follow.This is a great village pub.

We use our local on a regular basis since moving to the village last year and have never had a bad experience yet. Great friendly service, superb locally sourced food, we must have tried most things off the menu by now. The pub always has a nice atmosphere with a cosy log fire in the winter months and the resident tail waggers are always pleased to see you. Very pleased we have moved to a village with a local pub that tries really hard to please its customers and makes you welcome.

We were a large group throwing a surprise 60th birthday. We mostly pre-ordered our food but turned up at random intervals, but even so they coped excellently with various groups and tables of requests. The food was superb value for money, tasty, filling.... Well done managers and staff at the Otley White Hart for a great evening!

We visited as a family and were made to feel very welcome on arrival. Food was excellent with a great selection, food arrived quickly and was substantial. The only complaint was from Grandma who wanted to pour her own gravy but it didn't impair the dining experience! We loved the doggy visitors, open far and lots of toys for kids.

The White Hart is a dog walk away from the family home and both the dog and I feel welcome here.Good selection of well kept cask beers and great food. Adnams leads the roster, backed by other smaller local brewers. Resident dogs play well with others. Emphasis is on locally sourced ingredients but with dishes like cassoulet and rendang beef there's a good mix of flavours alongside the more standard fare. The Suffolk 'Pork and Beans' is fantastic.

The minute we arrived and received a 3 doggie welcome at the gate, we knew we'd picked a great place to stop for lunch with our 2 dogs! We settled in, received a warm welcome from the owner and ordered from the varied menu. Both our dishes were outstanding! We even came away with a 'doggie bag' of crunchie cheesecake, as we couldn't resist! We had it when we got home - it was gorgeous! We would definitely stop by here again.

Quite honestly, the very best wiener schnitzel I have ever tasted anywhere - including Switzerland, Austria, Germany etc. Gloriously eccentric - Linda will suggest things she might cook for you if they have sold out of something you wanted on the menu! This is not a same old, same old menu - like so many pubs. Thank you for being our local.

We have lived locally for a while and with new owners am pleased to say this is back to being a new 'local' for us. We have been 3 times in past month - lunchtime sandwich and 'superfood salad' was lovely. Home made burger spot on and Lowestoft fish n chips fresh leg made (we saw the beer being added to the batter from tap as we waited!!!). Seasonal menu which reflects home cooking at its best. Dogs are welcome and 2 live on site - they have good manners enough to watch while you eat and only ask for fuss after the plates have been cleared! Beer and wine selection good - we will keep returning and suggest other locals and non locals do to, to support this real local pub. Thank you!

Passed this place many times and never stopped until today.Warm welcome,both by the owners and 3 four legged friends! Very good Menu,lots of local produce and imaginative dishes without being over fussy. I would certainly return and recommend to friends.

Their web site describes the pub perfectly. The standard plus special menus give plenty of choice, but not so much that makes you worry. We started with some olives and excellent hummus, and followed with a ratatouille pie and a burger. The pie was imaginative and good and with a well dressed (balsamic) salad. The burger was clearly home made to order. Chips can be either thin or fat! Both were good. Small, simple but OK wine selection, plus good beers. A great, friendly local pub well worth a detour for a lunch. Congratulations to the people that run it, and recommended.

Not so much in the middle of nowhere as on the far side of nowhere, I never realised that there was another Otley outside Yorkshire. Passing through today, I stopped at the White Hart for a snack lunch - something that most ghastropubs now seem not to serve. I was pleasantly surprised to find that, yes, cheese sandwiches were on the (extensive) menu. They were very tasty too. (I was also surprised that they came with a serving of Branston Pickle in a ramekin, but no knife with which to spread it. I dunked.)There was a choice of three real ales as well as the usual fizzy stuff. The guest ale that I had was beautifully kept, and a real pleasure to drink.The pub dogs were friendly and affectionate, and added much to the ambience. A pub without animals is like a hearth without a fire.Loos were clean and did not smell.The décor was tired and the window blinds were dreadfully dusty.Not first rank, but not bad at all.

Great atmosphere, super food. Warm, cosy pub with brilliant beer. Great menu, everyone welcome (2 legs or 4).

Been for lunch and dinner in the last week and both were wonderful. Especially child and dog-friendly, Ava the canine ambassador keeps the youngsters in order while the grown-ups enjoy well kept beer and delicious grub. The Sri Lankan fish cakes are particularly recommended, as are the sticky toffee puddings. Well worth a trip.

Called in with friends. This is a proper local but with excellent food. It is very friendly place with lots going on. I had excellent Adnam's bitter and my wife a superb Austrian white.The food was delicious and excellent value - a steak cooked just right and a very tasty home made fish pie.Our friends enjoyed them
