White Hart in North Kesteven

Tonight was my second visit since the White Hart has changed hands and most certainly won't be my last. There is a lovely warm welcome and ambience to the place that really shows that they care. The food on both visits has been amazing, as has the service. It's definitely worth a try..

We were so pleased to go back to the white hart .after it was closed for a while. The restaurant was lovely We had the steak night menu,it was so so good best steak we have eaten in a long while The staff were very good and the service was ery good we will be back Any thanks Janet keane

New owners here since I last visited and what a turn around!! The service and food were both superb. The pub seems to be doing really well and I hope people carry on supporting it because they really do deserve it. Will be back soon.

New owners have taken over the pub few months ago what a transformation friendly staff great food amazing value. Just started breakfast on Saturday visited and was an amazing fresh cooked full english . New staff very attentive how a pub should be. Thanks Steve fosh

This pub was taken over a couple of months ago . The atmosphere is good & the restaurant food excellent . Our meal was delightful , compliments to the chef . I have to mention the staff as they were so friendly & couldn’t do enough for their customers which was so refreshing . I wish the new owners the best of luck and we will definitely be returning . Thank you all .

After being recommended this Sunday lunch, we were not disappointed. Lovely veg with some bite, roast beef done perfectly and stuffing that my husband loved(he doesn’t like stuffing normally). Relaxed atmosphere and a nice Sauvignon blanc that doesn’t make you wince. Decent beer selection and a comfortable atmosphere. Hats off to the chef, the kitchen is visible and you can see he has a great pride in his work.

We are always treated to great service and great food at The White Heart in Carlton le Moorland. I would highly recommend visiting for a Sunday roast. Saying that the food is great when every you visit. Kudos to Jan for doing such a good job.

Delicous Sunday Lunch! I had the vegetarian roast - very tasty. Service was efficient and staff friendly and helpful.

My family visited for Sunday roast, we had roast beef and really enjoyed our meal followed by lovely desserts, I had apple crumble it was delicious. Great service and friendly staff highly recommend !

Fantastic visit to White Heart, Carlton-le-Moorland. Pizzas straight out the pizza oven were absolutely top quality and at a great price. Very happy customers in our group and we will be back again later this month for sure! 👍👍

What fab food, I had fish and chips, batter crispy, fish cooked to perfection, chips were very tasty. Sensible prices too. Looking forward to a return visit. Thank you and a very welcoming owner.

Very disappointing. No atmosphere. No one else in the pub. No starters no Sauvignon blanc. Ordered two roast dinners. One pork one beef. Beef was over cooked and my pork wasn’t even close to hot. Yorkshires.and roast potatoes very greasy Severe lack of vegetables Sticky tables. Won’t be returning Such a shame as could be lovely.

Sunday lunch was a disappointment. This used to be an excellent restaurant with excellent food and great service. Now there is only one member of staff out front to cover taking orders, serving drinks at the bar and taking payments with one other helping with serving at tables. No wonder service was very slow. The food was good but still no green veg with main course. The biggest turn-off, though, was the very sticky table surface - which was the same as at our last visit. Sadly, don't think we'll be back.

Booked for Sunday lunch. Website advertised two courses for £19. On arrival we were told that there was no more pork and only beef or chicken was left, not shown a menu. Disappointed that no green vegetables with the meals, but otherwise food was good. A few of us chose desserts. These were ok, although the churros tasted of cooking oil and the chocolate dip was a caramel one. Bill arrived without the £19 for two courses and as with friends we felt it wasn’t worth making a fuss. But won’t bother to come again

Absolutely beautiful food. Wonderful presentation. The tastiest burger we have ever had. Excellent value for money. Quant, stylish pub in a beautiful location. Very friendly and kind staff. Especially the blond lady behind the bar and the chef who took the time to speak with my 5 yr old boy.

Great Sunday Lunch. We went to the White Hart recently with a couple of friends and had a first class meal at a reasonable price . I would recommend it .

This is a lovely pub and we had high hopes. Beautifully fitted out with a very nice ambience. However, when we asked to see the vegetarian menu we were told there wasn’t one and the waiter went off to check what was available. On her return we were told that there were vegetarian sausages “and that’s all”. So that was what my vegetarian friend had to have. Drinks were wrong too - my husband asked for a pint of lime and soda and got a very small tumbler. It took three attempts to ascertain what kinds of tonic water they had but they did eventually get it right. The food was good when it came but the lack of choice and poor service soured things somewhat. The bill was also wrong when it came and we had to send it back to have other people’s drinks taken off. Won’t be going again.

Family of 8 aged from 3 to 67, fantastic choice of menu to suit everyone present, will definitely return! Fairly priced menu, generous portions and beautiful presentation! Spacious comfy surroundings... What's not to like? Would certainly recommend this place❤️

Food lovely excellent service only problem the landlord full of himself and arrogant. Shame won’t go again because of this.

Went twice in a fortnight and lovey both times. Salmon with risotto was delicious! Too full for a pud! Would be great to have a vegetarian dish . Staff were great, very friendly and welcoming. Well worth a visit .👍

I brought 4 Dutch guests from a company we are working with as a very last minute booking. The White Hart couldn’t have been more accommodating. Very friendly, very patient as we chatted for ages before getting round to ordering. The food was fantastic. One of the Dutch guys commented it was the best food they have had in Britain - and they’ve been here quite a bit. The beer (Ghost Ship) was excellent. My Belly pork was really tasty and nicely presented. My Eton Mess Cheesecake was brilliant. Great idea which I’ve never had before, but will attempt to recreate at home. Cheese board was really nice too. British and local cheeses - even the Brie! The atmosphere was spot on too with just the right amount of background music. The waitress’s did a great job. I think first night for one of them, but coped brilliantly. Never had to wait, but they weren’t intrusive either. I don’t very often write a review…. Has to be either really good or really bad. A great night - thank you.

Father’s Day lunch today at the White Hart was an exceptional experience. Excellent quality food and great service. I would heartily recommend this establishment to everyone.

The fillet steak tonight was excellent, perfect peppercorn sauce, and crisp golden skin on fries. Service staff were prompt and very friendly.

Booked in for last Wednesday evening which we found was steak night. Wow, this place does steak night the right way not only is it exceptional value for money but best of all the quality of the meal was fantastic. One of the best sirloin...

I’ve just had one of the most juiciest steaks I’ve ever had. It’s was just right. Juicy and tasty accompanied by crispy succulent chips and a lovely fresh garnish. Staff are great. Service is wonderful. Would definitely recommend.

Ordered a delicious pizza, was very well made and the staff very friendly :) Will definitely go back and eat here again!

Visited for first lunch since lockdown and enjoyed delicious lunch in the garden on a beautiful summers day. The pizza is so light and fresh - tastes like a true Italian pizza. We also had fish and chips and the chicken burger which again looked...

I have enjoyed several Pizzas from The White Hart; all have been excellent. These Pizzas are not like the mass produced ones sold in the supermarket, covered in grated Cheddar - these pizzas are like the real thing - if you go to Italy, you...

Ordered 4 pizzas. As you had been recommended to us. But while eating them, thinking something is missing. Then realised they all had no cheese!! And looked like they hadn't been cooked. Cost us £54 for a pizza base and tomato sauce. Total rip off!!...

"The White Hart Pizza Co" is now offering fresh stonebaked takeaway pizzas. They are *awesome*. We ordered three, plus house salad and homemade slaw, and skin-on fries. Everything was fantastic. Thoroughly recommend - big thumbs up and thank you.

Just had our first visit to the White Hart since Jan has taken over - we enjoyed it before, but it's even better now! We all had the Sunday lunch and it was absolutely superb. My sister is celiac and they were very helpful with...

Having lived in CLM for a large part of my life I decided to come back with my girlfriend and reminisce. While we were there a trip to the White Hart was on the cards for Sunday lunch! The village pub had recently undergone refurbishment...

We have just visited the White Hart, unknowingly it was their opening night tonight and very busy but, the food and service were excellent. Unfortunately an elderly member of our party was unexpectedly unwell and the manager and waiting staff dealt with it calmly and...

Delicious lunch again today as usual. Enjoyed squid to start followed by pork and haddock. Recommended!

We went as a group of 6 for our book club annual meal. Really good menu choice although as it was Friday most of us had the fish. Lovely starters of a size perfect to have as a light lunch with a glass of wine

Very busy time of the year but friendly service as usual. We were introducing a couple of friends to the place (having sung its praises numerous times) so no pressure....on us!! Well they weren't disappointed....quote "the best crayfish I've ever tasted, what a fabulous menu"....and the superlatives continued. So, congrats to John and all your staff. Can't believe it's 12 months since you reopened. Merry Christmas everyone!

My first visit to this Pub/Reasturant, meal booked for 12 people. On arrival there were 4 people on one table the rest of the "annexe" was empty except our group. I'm sure in the summer it's a lovely soace but was a rather cool, no atmosphere a distinct lack of Christmas spirt ! We were on two tables for four people, rather a squeeze and that was prior to drinks and food. I asked one of the staff if there was a small table we could add on. We were offered a tiny table about 4 inches lower that the other tables, i asked if i could have the small table fro the end of the bar as it was perfect, but was refused as that was for the diary! I suggested they use the small table offered for that and swap it back later, but no we ended up with another small table which my husband had to straddle during the whole meal. The only other table occupied next to ours meant myself and the other chap were practically touching, which meant if anyone needed to get to the bar or be served I had to move, disturbing me whilst trying to eat. In the end the staff just stood next to me and shouted the length of the table. More annoyingly no one else came into done so we had been squashed for nothing! The crayfish starters were mostly lettuce and tasteless. Two small bowls of horseradish and mustard were on the table, scarcely enough for one person, let alone 12. The beef and roast potatoes were delicious, the "roasted veg" were certainly al dente, read that as not cooked or roasted, yorkshires were spongy and not hot. The gavy was like water and pretty tasteless. Overall not brilliant, I normally would have had a quiet word with the manager but as I had not arranged it didn't want to upset things. Whilst I can't say the staff were awful or rude at all, they need some serious training in etiquette, this is obviously a management fault. I for one would not rush back for a relaxing, festive fun meal.

Made to feel fairly unwelcome from a smug and arrogant member of staff and things didn't improve from there.

Having eaten at the White Hart earlier in the year I recommended we eat here for a group Christmas meal out. On the evening there were 16 of us and the meal was superb. With a large group you expect one or two slight grumbles but everyone was happy.

This really is one of the best places to eat in Lincolnshire. Highest quality food, excellent chef, nice staff, good country pub atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Visited The White Hart Saturday evening, on entering the bar was greeted with happy smiling faces and good evening from the bar staff. When taking our drinks order the young lady entered into conversation with us and was more than helpful with questions and requests.

Called in last evening in the hope we could get a table for four without a booking. Manager very helpful and said we could wait. The bat and kitchen were very busy but the staff were more than helpful. Ordered the meal and wow,! So worth waiting for. Everything cooked to perfection and beautifully served. I ordered a house salad but what they served me was absolutely delicious. They took the time to think of something a little more adventurous and lightly sautéed my mixture of vegetables with a sauce that was perfect. Best I’ve ever had. Will I go back - too true!

We both had a good meal at a fair price. It is a nice venue and has friendly staff. We will be going again.

Fantastic Sunday lunch today. Couldn't be faulted at all. The sweetcorn soup was very different but delicious; beef and pork on all meals so tender and everything presented beautifully. Thanks to John and the team. X

Nice pub, attractive inside, although sitting in the new extended area as we were was slightly disappointing. Although clean and fresh it has a bare feeling. Fortunately the food, along with good company, made this possible to ignore. We all managed both a starter and a main course, unfortunately no one had room for a dessert. The food was very enjoyable. Beautiful tender beef, a lovely fish, vegetables cooked perfectly, a most delicious meal.

Our second visit to this delightful restaurant for their Lobster evening. 2 whole lobsters, 2 surf and turf, one sensational fish and chips and a sirloin steak all beautifully cooked. Very busy but the service was good and the meal of lobster truly delicious. Entrees of bread and olives. Followed by creme brûlée, cheese and biscuits, sticky toffee pudding and bakewell tart. Well worth driving here, we shall certainly be making a return visit. Thank you

It had been quite some time since we last ate at the White Hart, it was good to see the additional dinning area has been beautifully completed. The menu has changed quite a bit too, difficult to choose from, a good sign.

Fabulous food and at good prices. I had duck rillette (first time ever and it was fabulous) with some toasted brioche and a chutney, then Thai Green Curry which was sublime and ended with creme brulee which was fantastic. This restaurant is our 'go to' place because its so reasonably priced and the pub is lovely. Whatever the staff/management/owners are doing - please don't change a thing, its perfection.

The White Hart never disappoints! My favourites are the fish and risotto dishes, all beautifully seasoned with fresh herbs. My better half always enjoys the steak and the liver when on menu. Jan and his front of house staff are always very friendly and efficient in a very relaxed atmosphere.

We have dined at the White Hart several times since it reopened and have enjoyed it every time. Last week we tried the early bird menu which was excellent. On Friday night we took my dad for his 89th birthday celebration. Between us we tried the lamb, duck and haddock dishes. Everyone was delighted. The quality and portion sizes could not be faulted. Neither could the service which was perfectly timed and delivered with a smile by "the twins". Thanks to all for a lovely evening.

Lovely,updated decor. Attentive staff. Great food with no hidden extras. Beautiful side dishes of tasty in season vegetables included. Have been to other places where everything is extra! Highly recommend...

I feel I need to put the record straight. Having read an earlier review regarding children in the White Hart I was there when this group of 5 adults and 2 children came in. The children were distressed from the start. No one took them outside to play (it was a beautiful day) nor did they give them anything to entertain them or a snack to eat whilst they waited. (Always works!) The children did not ruin our meal - the food is delicious and not ‘fast food’ but the adults allowed the children to ruin the atmosphere. I felt sorry for the children. The staff at this pub are all courteous, friendly and professional. They take responsibility for the running of a superb pub. The visiting adults need to take responsibility for their own children. Go prepared!

Had the best Sunday Lunch in years, great food! Well kept beer and Perfect service. Don't take my word for it, experience it for yourself. Without a doubt fantastic value. Take a bow White Hart

Although they have a small park area outside this is not a place where the management or locals welcome children. I was in a group of 7 which included 2young children & from the moment we arrived the assembled bunch of locals at the bar made it clear we were an inconvenience. We had gone for Sunday lunch (ok & comparable to others locally) and admittedly my 18mth daughter cried a little until the food arrived from when she was happy & content. Later she began to tire (still not too noisy) when the chef appeared & asked me to take her outside!! Rude chef, rude locals, the only positive we’re the friendly waitresses who tried to help & make an effort.

Don’t want to give too glowing a report on this pub because we might want a table here again soon.

Huge thank you to the white Hart for today x family get together. The food was amazing. The roast beef was cooked perfectly and the cauliflower cheese sooo good. But omg the sticky toffee pudding was as always the best. Highly recommend this fabulous pub for any occasion xx

No excuses needed to go here as we're local!!

First visit back to the restaurant since it reopened under the new management. Our meal was excellent, with a good selection to choose from on the menu. Food was cooked perfectly and enjoyed by all. Very good wine menu. Look forward to our next visit.

Stopped off here for dinner after a recommendation.

The White Hart has changed ownership and the current chef/patron and his team are producing top quality food in a delightful pub setting with friendly service.

Dined here on Tuesday night on their early bird menu . It was excellent value and the food, presentation and service was superb. I will certainly be back again soon.

Really impressed with the food. The menu looks interesting but the dishes were even better than they sounded on the menu. There is a range of food to suit most people - vegetarian, fish, meat but is not so long that you wonder if it is home cooked. It is all home cooked and they also have daily specials. The food was even better than we had hoped it would be. Prices are good for the quantity and quality of the food. The prawn starter was excellent and the prawns were cooked perfectly. The steak was cooked exactly as we wanted. We didn't leave any of our food. We will certainly be eating here again! House wines are good and they even have a gluten free beer available. Staff were all friendly, very helpful and went out of their way to make sure we had everything we needed.

Family visit for Sunday Lunch to celebrate a birthday. The food was absolutely delicious - perfect roast beef and Yorkshires, and a wonderful belly pork. Lovely waiting on staff.

We went a couple of weeks ago for a family celebration. We went at lunchtime on a Saturday. There were other people in but it was not noisy. No background music blocking out conversation. Difficult to chose what to eat as really wanted all of the choices. Ages in the group ranged from 13 to 75 and it suited us all. Staff were very pleasant and made us feel special. Attentive but not overpowering. I thought the prices were good. We will all go again as a group but also individually..

Recently taken over and refurbished, this is a delightful village pub/restaurant, serving interesting tasty food, well presented and served by cheerful staff. Good selection of beers and wines.

On arriving it was easy to park with the car park well lit and easy access inside. We were greeted with a warm welcome and given an appropriate amount of time to have a chat and settle in. No pushing the menu straight in front of you. The bar has a good range of drinks and a good wine list with knowledgeable recommendations made by the bar staff. Likewise the menu was great, not so many choices so that it becomes overwhelming but plenty of options and flavors. I had steak and it was superb. I had lemon pie and lemon curd ice cream for pudding and this was worth going for alone, delicious. The staff were exceptional, professional yet friendly and happy to make recommendations. They were very efficient in an unobtrusive way. The restaurant has local art work on the walls which adds to the lovely atmosphere. Thanks for a lovely evening and I’m looking forward to eating here again soon.

Attended last night for family meal, great atmosphere and menu, also excellent real ale. I had rump steak off specials board and crème brulee. Both well cooked and all on table thoroughly enjoyed meal. Great comments re fish and chips. Overall thought great value for money, excellent staff and will definitely go again !

Absolutely amazing x beautiful place such a warm welcome from John and his great staff. Food was wonderful. Steaks cooked to perfection. Highly recommended. Thankyou John for making Jessica birthday meal just perfect x ❤️❤️

Our first visit to this newly re opened and refurbished pub. This was a Birthday treat, so was hoping for something special. We were not disappointed. A lovely, relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Great staff, attentive, but not 'in your face'. This is still in the process of being renovated, but what they have achieved in such a small timeframe is amazing. Saving the best till last..the food was absolutely delicious! A lovely menu, delivered exceptionally well. Congratulations to all involved and especially John, Chef Patron. Return visit already booked for Sunday lunch and can't wait.

This has been closed for years & now taken over. The food we had was excellent as was the friendly service .

best Sunday lunch great food and amazing staff .. what a transformation a new manager can bring .. a must visit for food

Under new Management since mid December 2018, and had a refurb. As the title says all good really, excellent ales, lovely flavoursome food from an interesting menu, staff are very friendly and accommodating, a very enjoyable lunchtime visit. We have already planned our return visit...

Slightly off the beaten track and maybe a bit pricey for this area but worth every penny. A very friendly welcome, interesting and imaginative menu, top quality food. We couldn't fault it and look forward to returning.

Having recently reopened at the beginning of December I have visited just for drinks and then for lunch. This is such a lovely welcoming village pub with a great team, an excellent menu, really great service and a friendly atmosphere. The food was absolutely delicious and the dessert was amazing (thank you to the chef for being so accommodating of my changes to his 'chocolate dessert of the day' :) Am looking forward to the rest of the changes in the new year.

We ate here today for the first time as the pub has been taken over by new owners and dogs are now welcome. The staff were very welcoming and the pub has a cosy friendly atmosphere. The service was excellent and food arrived promptly and was just delicious, could not fault it! Would definitely recommend the oriental crispy duck salad and the scallop risotto. We would highly recommend visiting the White Hart for a drink or a meal and we will definitely be returning.

Excellent Sunday lunch, nice options, group had smoked chicken bubble and squeak and home smoked salmon for a starter then roast beef and twice cooked pork belly followed by Grand Marnier creme brulee, lemon tart with lemon curd ice cream and cheese board.

We have Sunday Lunch here every 5 to 6 weeks and have never been disappointed. The wide menu is always marked with GF and the food is delicious. You need to book as it is not a Fast Food Venue. Well worth a visit for Sunday Lunch.

We went to the White Hart as another restaurant we were being taken to was fully booked. We received a very friendly greeting and had a great meal, not only was the quality really good but the portions were huge and the vegetables cooked perfectly. We also chatted to the chef, Adele, who was lovely and appreciated our thanks. I am not sure why this restaurant wasn't busy although I understand their 'special' nights are very well attended. I understand they are not open on Mondays or Tuesday's. I have seen the couple of negative reviews and wonder whether we were at the same restaurant. I have often found that when you are pleasant and friendly you will most likely receive good service. We had a lovely evening and would return whe we visit the area again.

Quite a few of us went and we were welcomed by friendly staff .. No problem there at all.

We called in here when our first choice of restaurant was too full (we had not booked). Arriving at The White Hart we could see that the conservatory was laid out with tables and was not full. We went inside and after checking her diary the lady said they could accommodate us for lunch. We all (3 adults) had roast beef and it was lovely. Really soft beef, crispy roast potatoes, nicely cooked veg and tasty gravy. We were pleasantly surprised. Staff were polite and helpful. Although some tables in the conservatory were empty we were asked if we minded eating in the bar area, which was fine.

Sadly, standards have slipped. We tried to book a table for 6 to dine at 13.00 hours but staff informed us that they were fully booked so we booked for 12.30 hours. Arriving at 12.30 hours, we found an empty bar and restaurant which was some what unusual, after all they were fully booked. After promptly been shown to our table and a drinks order taken thing were looking good. Sadly though, it was 20 minutes before the drinks arrived and a further half an hour before our food order was taken. All of this time no other customers entered the restaurant.
