White Hart Inn in Sedgemoor

Stopped for breakfast bap and drinkWe had one crispy bacon bap with ketchup I asked that the bacon be crispy, as last time not so much. This time plenty of bacon but alas, still not crispy. Makes for a chewy bap. Had a sausage and caramelised onion cheesy bap. The sausages were delicious, bap was well toasted cheesy taste not so nice, as faux cheesy bit not pleasant to my taste. Coffee v pleasant Did not have to wait an age so that is a plus. Thank you

What a fantastic little pub. Wonderful decor really well thought out. Garden also very impressive with pods, birds and ample seating. Sunday lunch was great choice of two. A very good lunch out and definitely going back.

On Bank Holiday Monday we called into the Leather and Lace what used to be called the White Hart. The new owners have transformed it from a village pub to a sort of retro bar which had been done quite well if situated in a town, but perhaps not so good for a village? However with regard to Covid-19 safety, they seemed very lapse. On arrival there was only one sanistiser bottle outside as you walked in and this didn’t work. No sign of the NHS Track and Trace App and no-one asked us for any contact details! Also inside none of the staff were wearing face masks. Drinks were expensive and slow to be served. They also had a BBQ running and although we hadn’t planned to eat, we decided to have a small snack so ordered a hot dog and a bowl of chips. After half an hour and nothing arriving we did ask at the BBQ how long it would be, as we needed to use the toilet and didn’t want to be in there when it came out! We were told that it was imminent. After a further nearly half an hour of waiting we went across to the BBQ again and they hadn’t even started it! They did however immediately start to cook the sausage for the hot dog!After an hour’s wait the food did finally arrive. The hot dog was nice but the small bowl of chips were warm and not hot! A poor service after waiting so long. According to the menu the BBQ items were £4 + £3 but they charged us £8!Would we visit again, maybe just for an odd drink and to see the decor, but very unlikely for any food, especially as everything is over-priced!

“Sunday Lunch, yesterday, 30 May. Despite being assured by Julia, the landlady, that children’s portions were available, We just couldn’t get the Duty Manager to understand that principle. We ended up with 3 side dishes. So, my 4 year old granddaughter’s lunch was the same price as an Adult Meat Platter. Their intransigent attitude will prevent us returning”

Completely over priced. £28.50 for 2 paninis and a bacon roll with 3 drinks. No garnish no crisps nothing. Plonked on the table on a saucer.Our waitress was nice.Our view was of the landlady in a very short dress flashing her borrow cheeks every time she got up from where she was sat ….my poor son had to sit and look at it!! Put some underwear on woman!!!!I’m not sure what the owners are trying to achieve but it certainly isn’t suitable in a little village. The audience has been read incredibly wrong .Come back the white hart!Off to get a bit more lunch as we are starving….I give it a year …. Such a shame.

Great fun amazing cocktails and lovely waitresses really unusual setting. Looking forward to returning

Lovely setting, gorgeous food, and great staff, Naomi, especially, will definitely be back for another Sunday roast platter

Had lunch with two children, unfortunately there is no children’s menu. They had chips. Thank goodness I took carrot, cucumber sticks for them to eat. Really not family friendly regarding food. Visited the toilet, no hand paper or hand drier, told to use toilet paper. Nice chap, said no I will get a towel. Thank you. Food ok, but over priced. Sorry but will not go back.

Lovely family running a homely rural pub.Cosy open fire.Huge roast dinner.Delicious dessert.Great value. Andy & Mandy,Bristol.

Fair prices, friendly staff, great selection of foodm. Portions are big here, you won't need pudding. The Sunday Roasts are immense and come with plenty of meat. Hidden gem on the back roads to Glastonbury. Have been a few times and will continue to do so.

We had an amazing Sunday lunch accompanied by our three greyhounds. The food is excellent the vegetables especially good. The staff were so friendly and helpful a delight to visit.

Dog friendly pub with lovely garden.Staff friendly and helpful.Had a enjoyable lunch sitting in the garden .Worth a visit on a sunny day.

Took my parents for lunch today. What a pleasant surprise. Outside and in well cared for and spotlessly clean. Was served by a lovely young girl who couldn’t do enough for us. The landlord and landlady were lovely and chatty. We sat in the lovely pretty garden next to the well looked after fish pond. All the outside areas were clean and obviously well maintained. The food was lovely, couldn’t fault it. Good menu and good prices. Will definitely return and recommend.

Ate here after a disaster stay at a B and B farmhouse in nearby Cossington. Greta freshly cooked pub food at sensible prices and good draught beer ( Otter ) on tap. Really good place and good food.

Friendly welcome and good range of ales and cider Sunday lunch between 12 and 2.30 pm.Had a lovley point of old rascal then had the roast beef Meal was really well presented and hotPlenty of veg and gravy and the meat was really tender Football shown on good size screen Nice local pub

Roast beef with variety of veg - excellent. Gravy served in a gravy boat and not poured out over your dinner - I hate a soggy meal so this was wonderful. Desserts delicious. Highly recommend

Seven fishermen in our group, enjoying the steak night special held on Thursday evenings. Our steaks, including rump and ribeyes to choose from, were cooked to perfection, bearing in mind various degree of cooking for each and they were served in a timely way. We all enjoyed the desserts and great service from the staff. Bar area very busy which added to the 'local' atmosphere. Well done to all.

We were told this was good for Sunday lunch, we booked for Sunday 23rd September we opted for 2 courses for £11.00.The roast was fresh and well cooked and plenty of it.The cheese cake i had was superb the waitress said it was home made and you tell it was (superb)Would highly recommend this for sunday lunch will definitley return

Having been shown the door by several local pubsfor not booking in advance we came across the White Hart, I have not been there for nearly 40 years!!

Catering for the local community with a good bar atmosphere. TV when required for sports etc.

Two of us called in for a light lunch one Saturday....I had a Brie & bacon baguette my friend had a veggie burger & Chips...the food was very good, no complaints there.

We booked for 21 for Sunday lunch to celebrate our Ruby (40) Anniversary with family. As always we were made very welcome by Nicky and Simon. The service was excellent as was the food. Everyone really enjoyed the meal (Roast Beef) and the range of desserts and certainly no one left hungry.

Stopped by on the off chance there was a spare table to have Sunday lunch (Roast) and there was!

Excellent food cooked to perfection not pricey they do a Sunday carvery very good would go there for food anytime always food places to choose from in catcott or chilton polden

Took a nice drive out of the White Hart Inn expecting a nice quiet meal only to find no food served on Tuesdays, no mention of the Web site. Nice little pub though.

We eat here on a fairly regular basis. The food is high quality and well presented. The bar and waiting staff are also well trained and of a high standard. For local pub food nothing in the area beats this place. Great dessert too.

This was my second visit for a pint and Sunday Lunch. Couldn't have been bettered. Great food, great Landlord and Landlady, Good beer and watch the match if you wanted.

Otra comida excelente en el White Hart. Todos teníamos el bife de costilla que estaba cocinado a la perfección y muy sabroso. La cerveza (Otter) también fue excelente. El ambiente era genial y yo pasamos un rato hablando de Nicky y Simon que como siempre hacerte sentir bienvenido.

Popped in on the way home. Really nice and great service. Sunday roast was great and lots of gravy!!!!!

Family Sunday lunch. Outstanding pub grub, monumental portions, normal friendly greeting, very satisfied customers

Came last week with a few friends and I decided to have the steak for a change and it was fantastic. The staff (2 women) were fabulous so friendly and welcoming. We got to try the brown bread ice cream which was lovely . Will be back .

Lovely place, a group of us visited after being recommended by a friend when our planned meet point wasn't offering food, all the food, service, atmosphere all fantastic, waitresses were brilliant, menu was a great mix of traditional and a bit different with a great vegetarian offering too, and the puddings were amazing, try the brown bread ice cream! Thank you, especially to the waitress/bar staff you are a credit to the pub! We will definitely be back!!!x

13 of us turned up for a meal. The food was fantastic, all freshly cooked and served be friendly helpful staff. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning. Thank you white hart

My partner and I visited at lunchtime and ordered a Brie and bacon on focaccia and a prawn coleslaw focaccia both with salad. My partner had 1 rasher of bacon and a slither of Brie on a wedge of dry bread with pathetic salad thrown on the side. My prawns were basic and in mayonnaise slapped on top of yet another dry wedge of bread. The salad had brown leaves in it and the 'slaw was nowhere to be seen. Also, what's with the metal tins they were served in? What's wrong with a good old fashioned clean plate? We both left feeling so disappointed.

We recieved a very warm welcome here, the children were embraced into the conversation and spoken to throughout our visit. a very family orintated pub. The food was lovely home cookedstyle and definatly leave room for pudding, (the cheesecake was amazing) will definatly be going back.

Me and my dad decided to visit this pub as one of my friends had recommended it to us and it was easter sunday. On entering the pub we were met with a friendly smile from the landlord. He asked how we were then offered us a drink. We had booked a table and were seated within minutes of being there. Within 10 minutes of them acknowledging we were eating, the food came out. I was shocked as to how much there was and when the waiter checked on us we were offered more of everything if we wanted it. When the plates were being cleared I was offered more drinks and a pudding, i decided to go for the homemade cream egg cheesecake(this was good as it was Easter) which was even better than it sounded as i love cream eggs. Overall the staff and the food at this pub are 10/10 and i would definitely recommend this to anyone else.

Another gorgeous sunday roast with home made ferrero rocher cheese cake for dessert. Staff were great as usual

what can i say blooming great from the off set greeted by a freindly smile before entering the bar that will be because we was there before it opened the staff are amazing and so are the owners food top drawer will eat there again again and again oh thats because we have and will keep going

Very good atmosphere Service was excellent with personal attention from the landlady! Price charged was extremely reasonable and everyone decided they would like to come again.

Wow......... what can I say? Visited The White Hart with family (12 of us) for a mothering Sunday meal. I have never been made to feel so welcome all the staff were brilliant and nothing was too much trouble. We had a roast which was to die for! So much food too and was absolutely beautiful! With homemade puddings too!! Will definitely be visiting again greatFood, great service and definitely value for money!!!! Thank you so much

We decided at short notice to visit our local pub for a Sunday meal. We were made feel especially welcome upon arrival. The landlady was very friendly and looked after us all, especially our toddler. The menu was quite extensive and the food was all very good - lots of well cooked veg and generous portions. Puddings were also excellent. We all had completely different dishes but they all arrived at the same time piping hot. The landlady went out of her way to look after our toddler and organised a special dessert for him. Pricing was also good value. We will certainly be recommending the White Hart to our friends and already have !

We visited as a family for Sunday lunch,including 2 year old. We booked a latish time as one of us was working. Service was friendly and jolly and the child well looked after and made a fuss of.Food was good and reasonably priced.Recommended

Lovely old fashon local serving good ales. Welcoming with open fire and friendly locals. Food served Good pub grub from weds to sunday 9pm, Sunday roasts. also really convenient takeaway meals. Support local this is a great local amenety- Keep up the Good work Simon and Nicki

We used tripadvisor to find a place to meet friends visiting from up north.Friendly bar, chatty waitress. Local bitter excellentGuinness cans on surge Sunday roast beef nicely cooked Good variety of veggiesBig selection of big portioned traditional puddingsCould have stayed to watch the 6 nations - other locals got some nice roast beef rolls.Would recommend for a traditional trencher Sunday lunch.

Called in based on recommendation of the owners of the cottage we are staying at. Currently only serves food Weds to Sat. We went on a weds when they do fish & chips for £7 (take-away also available). All meals were excellent.....Mrs loved her chilli! Good value, large portions & friendly service...left happy & very full

ate here on a Wednesday when the fish and chip special at £ 7 was on. Very good ! Attentive service really good choice of menu and thus highly recommended for a pub meal.

Booked a table for my husband's birthday and explained I cannot tolerate rapeseed oil. Landlady was extremely helpful. We then got stuck in Devon and phoned to say we'd be late. No problem. On arrival we had a very warm welcome, the landlady was marvellous at sorting out what I could eat. I had the ribeye steak which was superb, and, I had chips! Such a treat when you cannot eat anything cooked in rapeseed oil it is a rare thing indeed. My husband had the rump which he assures me was equally good. Our starters were generous and also very good. This pub is not like most these days one for posh grub. If you want good home cooked British food in a friendly pub. It is ideal. The garden is really lovely by the way.

We visited the White Hart on 21st May 2015. It was easy to find and had plenty of parking. Restaurant is a room to the side of the bar. Menu concentrated on local food and was more than adequate. Staff were really friendly and the wood was freshly cooked to order. Big portions! I was really impressed and would go there again.

we went here for mothers day lunch and food was amazing, couldn't fault it. Lovely Sunday roast and homemade desert. Great service too. Will be back soon.

Really pleased this pub is serving food again.Have eaten here several times and even had a takeaway meal from here.Food has been excellent every time. Home made tasty food served piping hot and nice big portions with reasonable prices - what's not to like? The menu has all the usual pub classics plus a couple of varying specials.Staff here are very friendly and welcoming. It's the sort of place you could visit alone, not feel awkward and still have a good chat.Good range of drinks, different ales on each time we visit. We will be back soon!

Great food, another ribeye cooked to perfection. Great staff, brilliant landlord. Couldn't get any better.

Great food, another steak cooked to perfection, staff very polite, landlord very customer conscious.

Went here to eat for first time tonight. Excellent ribeye steak with excellent service. Will certainly be returning again.

We went here for dinner because of the great reviews however, am despite not having a terrible meal, I think that the reviews are either greatly exaggerated or they have a new menu/chef... The menu was very basic not a huge or varied choice. I had the lasagne which was nice but more layers of pasta than meat. Good portion size, you won't leave hungry and friendly staff! Certainly wouldn't complain but also wouldn't give it 5 stars! It's the place to go for nice simple pub food. :-)

I'll have to own up to the fact that I am a regular here and this is my local. That said, there's no reason not to share the great job that Simon and Nicky are continuing to do in delivering a friendly comfortable ambiance and well-cooked, tasty food. This pub was on it's way to oblivion and there's no doubt they have rescued it. This is not the Ritz, but the food is excellent value, lovingly prepared, tasty and wholesome. Cordon bleu it isn't, but expect a warm welcome and and a satisfying culinary experience.

At short notice Nicky opened up the restaurant for my visiting family. The kitchen is normally not open on a Sunday evening so how nice that a local pub goes out of its way to be helpful and supply good service and food. Pub food produced well and served with a smile( AND THEY WEREN'T OPEN) rare in this day. The white Hart is a place to use and make a beeline for.

Had to stop locally to pick up some furniture. Had lunch here. Looks comfortingly ordinary from the outside and predictable but well kept inside. Just what the doctor ordered. Friendly, welcoming, hospitable. Average but sufficient selection of well kept ales. We'll presented and what seemed to be fresh good pub food. Pleasant garden out the back. Fair prices. Taken individually all these things would rank slightly over average scores but when they all come together and just when you need them they make for a high score. Doubt I will ever be back in this village bit if you are passing through I recommend this pub.

These days pubs need to try hard to build a reputation as a restaurant as well as a traditional country pub. It's a difficult balance being an excellent local as well as a draw for visitors across and beyond the Somerset Levels. The White Hart is a gold standard achiever.Specifically, good ales and lagers and a wide selection of spirits (with Penderyn Welsh whiskey too!).The food is good, honest, delicious and locally sourced, even down to the wild boar I suspect! The fish 'n chips deserves the accolades from other reviewers: light, crispy batter cuddling a stompingly good and thick cod loin! The Sunday lunch is worth going for too and good value I'm told by patrons. t's on my list! The bar and restaurant are nicely separated. Both enjoy a good ambience? The staff are great. They clearly enjoy working at The White Hart, and it shows in the way they interact with one another and with local patrons and visitors from further afield. Live music is offered at weekends and there's even a pub coach trip! A warm welcome for all.Well done all, and thank you.

Have eaten here many of times beautiful food never had a problem.. Locals and staff very friendly and polite would defiantly recommend.

I have just spent a couple of weeks in Burtle, and as the two local pubs were closed, we ventured out trying to find a traditional pub with a warm friendly atmosphere and the White Hart fit the bill perfectly. We enjoyed a number of meals in the pub during our stay and have to say that Nicky did a brilliant job in the kitchen. The restaurant area was separate to the main bar which was nice. Food was plentiful and home cooked where possible. Highly recommend the Quiche and Steaks. The bonus was 'real' chips, simply delicious and a nice touch. Simon also was very welcoming and as northerners we didn't have a lot of knowledge of the area but he spent time to recommend places to visit including Taunton and Wells, both fantastic days out. All in all would definitely recommend the White Hart as a must visit to anyone staying in the area. Thanks for helping to make our holiday so enjoyable.

first i'd like to point out that any review written by someone who is barred from this place is not to be trusted, sour grapes on their part im affraid!!! ive been going to the "hart" for many years and i must say apart from when it was a curry house which was very different, nicky and simon have got their food spot on, i've never had a bad meal and its always very generous portions. very welcoming people who are always on hand if needed for a good chat and a fantastic range barside.

I have eaten here on numerous occasions and can say that Nicky and Simon do a fantastic job in producing not only what you would call pub grub, but good quality home cooked food. My kids have also enjoyed the food here and they were welcomed into the pub. The atmosphere in the pub is always a good one and is a nice relaxing place to be with lots of friendly local!! I definitely recommend coming to the White Hart!!!

As newcomers to the area, we found the White Hart to be so friendly and welcoming. It has a very good menu at reasonable prices and their take-out fish and chips are without doubt the best in Somerset.

We've visited this pub on numerous occasions and it's a real gem. Good ales, a warm welcome from Nikki and Simon, a nice cosy fire blazing (unlike some pubs, they light the fire any time when it's slightly cold, not just in winter!), and when we last visited they had just started a Sunday carvery which is top notch and very reasonable. They also have live music once a month and this is brilliant too, a really good friendly local crowd who all turn out to watch and like to let their hair down!They have a nice, well kept beer garden too, and the pub is situated in a very quiet rural location so it's a great place to chill out.

There are so few real village pubs left but this one is a jem. Good beer in good condition, home-cooked, wholesome meals at sensible prices. Also has a great garden. Very welcoming.

I have visited this pub on numerous occasions, the welcome is always genuine. I have never had a bad pint and my wife always comments favourably on the wine. The food when we have eaten there is really good, great portions, home cooked and always served with a smile by the server. Simon keeps a very decent selection of whiskies for those whose tastes lie in that direction including Welsh, Japanese and even English, try 'em and smile. The service is spot on even when they are busy. So there you have it, a village pub that gets just about everything right. Long may it prosper.

very welcoming lovely atmosphere good staff and nice homely food I will be definitely be going again

I have eaten here a few times with my kids and every time the food has been lovely. Everyone who works at the White Hart are absolutely great and I will definitely be going back.

Wider variety since my last review, so although the basic honest to goodness staples are there there are a few more adventurous choices. Still huge servings though, how do people finish them. Recently introduced a carvery and the popularity is still growing. Cordon bleu its not, but tasty, filling, well cooked and ample it is

we moved to the village of Chilton Polden and knew nobody but what drew us there was the fact it had a local post office and pub!we were not disappointed with our visit to both for friendly bannter and local information.my hubby loves the Otter ale and I enjoy the perfect temperature of their wines and flavour.however the food? Is fantastic! All Home made and locally sourced meats and veg the land lady is a goddess in the kitchen!family run business who make you feel very at home whilst visiting! The mixed grill is my favorite and Sunday carvery is really tasty with 2 different meats on offer and puddings!what more could you want?open fire and dog friendly?yep they have that as well! We went for a lovely walk from their car Park with our dog and then had lunch in their lovely garden.all very easy and relaxing! So well done and even though we have since moved from the village we visit as often as we can as its great value!

I can only presume that the only reason this place isn't bursting with diners is that the other pubs in the area are managing to cling onto their loyal customers. There's everything you would expect to see on a menu and a few daily specials to choose from, I have yet to be disapointed with anything, the particularly good home-made dishes are always quality, served by staff who seem genuinely appreciative of your custom too. They may not be able to offer the fantastic views or indoor water features like some, but the value for money offered and traditional country pub ambience are worth going back for. Try it, review it and help to give this place a reputation it can reap some benefits from!

We regularly eat here at the White Hart Inn at Chilton Polden, the food is always of the highest standard and the service exemplary, You won't find better value for money anywhere in a village pub.

So here's a village pub, 4 miles from Bridgwater and the M5 junctin 23; 5 miles from Street and1 mile North of the A39. It's also my local and I'm very pleased to be able to write a review - after 5 years living in Chilton Polden - about a country village pub that has survived and is beginning to prosper. In fact so enthused am I that I requested TripAdvisor add the pub to their database so I could write this review.There have been a succession of Landlords in recent years and none of them has managed to capture the quintessential essence of the traditional English Village Pub until Nikki & Simon took this one on a couple of years ago.The menu is basic, so don't expect Cordon Blue, it is English, so don't expect moules mariniere; it is very well cooked so expect to be satiated and it is amazing value, so don't expect damage to your wallet and the greeting and service is outstandingly friendly. We've eaten there 5 or six times now and have only ever been completely satisfied.The fish & chip menu on a Friday evening is better than any F&C shop I've patronised in recent years with lovely crispy batter and chunky chips - visit at 6pm and there will be many having a pint and waiting for their takeaway, but eaten in is just as good in front of a blazing log fire too (in the winter!).Sunday lunch is becoming something of a local legend with the quality of the cooking and the size of the portions, it's becoming advisable to book to avoid the disappointment of arriving at 2pm to find there's either no Sunday Roast left !So far we have been overwhelmed each time at the outstanding value for money and Sunday lunch is becoming a habit!
