White Hart, Littleton Upon Severn in South Gloucestershire - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Amazing place, in a lovely setting, food needs a refresh (chips cooked from frozen, bread from a pkt) menu and bar choices were restricted, with food pepped up again it would be my no 1 venue

Lovely dog friendly pub. Food was excellent but there was an issue with drinks. Only one choice of cider (Thatchers Gold) and it was completely flat. When we complained the member of staff acknowledged that he thought it looked wrong & after tasting it himself acknowledged it was. Obviously we were not charged, but very disappointed that there was no other choice of cider. This is West Country pub - you need some back ups!

Lovely setting and friendly staff. Starter I had overpriced, £10 for 6 pan roasted garlic prawns!! Main courses good value.

Harry was fantastic. Great server, knowledgeable, friendly, funny. Checked on us throughout to make sure all okay. Very helpful. One of the best roast dinners I've ever had. Food was fantastic. Will definitely return.

Sadly, this beautiful old pub isn't what it used to be. Friday night on a bank holiday weekend and by 8.50pm we were the only people there. No steaks because they hadn't been delivered, and no cheese board, so 2 of our party looking for something else. Meals delivered were OK ish but certainly not anything to rave about. Gnocchi bland and lacking presentation, burger could have been warmer and would have looked more appealing if it had a garnish on the plate, pie of the day , had far better. Sausage and potatoes, not bad . The good thing was the staff. Pleasant, polite, and apologies for the lack of steaks and later the cheeseboard. Couldn't fault them. Would hope that it was just a bad night, but I'm not sure.

Lovely village pub, offering decent good and drink. The roast dinner and the Ploughman's were excellent!

Booked a table for 6 for Sunday roast. A mixture of beef, pork and vegetarian ordered. All received at the same time. Table service was friendly, with a cosy pub feel inside. Lots of seating outside, dog friendly inside and outside and accommodating for young children also. Parking available to the rear with an orchard with picnic benches also, disabled parking also available.

Danielle , could not do enough for us , lovely charming lady. Food was fab , highly recommend

Lovely place Average food. Having booked a week in advance there were many dishes that were not available, had ran out as a result of 2 birthday parties. Not great

Met friends and thoroughly enjoyed the food,and very good service. Going back so we can do three courses next time. Beautiful outside with a beer garden and surrounded by countryside.

Nice pub, nice beer garden, nice clientele, lots of dogs, within walking distance of the Severn Estuary. Staff had a tenancy to faff around with peripheral stuff while leaving customers queued at the bar to be served; not a good impression. People say the deserts are to-die-for but did not test this for ourselves this time.

We were cycling the Avon Cycleway and passing here at 1215, so we dropped in to check if food was being served. It was, and what a treat👌 The comprehensive menu has some great choices, and we both went down the sandwich path - haddock fish fingers+ tartare for me and slow cooked beef + horseradish for ladyship. The £2.50 fries we shared were excellent too😉 Many thanks to chef and Chloe for making it a very worthwhile stop for lunch. We were well stuffed! 5 stars all round👍

Turned up for a meal at lunch, based on the website saying food service time is 12-9pm and a sign outside saying food and bar snacks served all day. Once drinks were ordered we asked about food, only to be told the kitchen was closed until 5pm. Asked about the bar snacks...managed to get 2 packets of Crisps! Bar snacks to me is a scotch egg, sausage roll, etc. Drinks were fine, but difficult to rate anything else. No atmosphere apart from another couple that clearly came in hoping for food, rest of the pub was pretty empty!

As always a great pub with great indoor and outdoor space. Staff were polite and helpful but had to chase drinks and food due to delays in service. Food was great quality and good wine selection.

Very accommodating and great staff

Great place for a sunny day drink. Don’t bother with the food. Several tables waited over an hour for food to be served. Some walked out. The menu is nothing like advertised. Staff stressed and full of excuses.

We have been coming here for years, unfortunately it has taken a turn for the worst, long waiting times for food, staff over stretched, (great staff, doing their best) food very good, however the outside areas look scruffy and the wait for the food and drink was just too long. Such as shame as this place has such potential. Such a lovely setting.

Outstanding, was recommended by Costa to try the Surf and Turf, it's the best food in memory! Beautiful country pub, passionate staff and best in class food. Thank you to all of you.We will be back.

Top notch sausage rolls , lifetaker cider is worth a try . Friendly quick service , food looks nice .

Out of 9 people sitting at one table, only two meals didn't appear. We asked about them and they eventually brought meals that we didn't order. Apparently they had mislaid our order somewhere between the bar and the kitchen. These were only sandwich lunchtime meals not main dinner meals. When they eventually arrived, the rest of our party had finished. I couldn't believe how long they took to prepare a few slices of tomato on sourbread with feta cheese and olives...plus done chips. Very disappointed with the wait. However the food tasted very nice. Not even an apology from the staff.

We had a lovely meal great food and service. This was our first visit here in over 15 years and still was as we remember it. We used to visit all time before we had a family. Thank you

Lovely setting, great food, Beer garden is just right for a summer evening.

Lovely old pub with terrific views of the sunset across the Severn estuary. Good food, good beer and nice folks. Highly recommended.

Beautiful pub, love the decor. Lovely location and views. Great service, really welcoming. Really enjoyed my food, I ordered a child's portion and glad I did, the adult's were huge! Will definitely return

Excellent food, beautiful location & relaxed atmosphere, Jude served us and was very attentive, thanks for a very pleasant meal

Great food, very friendly service, lovely garden

Visited for Sunday lunch on Father’s Day, food was excellent, staff went above and beyond for the tables running a spin the wheel game for the fathers.

Highly recommend a visit to this lovely pub. Warm welcome from the manager and his wife, food was excellent really delicious.

I wasn't going to review my last visit because I like the beer garden for relaxing drinks, however the White Hart asked for feedback, via an email: Booked a table for 2 at 12pm 28th Aug. We arrived, staff lovely, taken to table where one seat was completely blocking a doorway so I had to keep getting up and moving to allow people to pass! I asked to move and we were taken to another table for 2, this was a bit better but was CRAMMED in between larger tables, this was not the relaxing lunch experience I was after! We decided to eat outside, tables well spaced out and even though it was busy it was lovely. We had checked the online menu before booking and many items were not available, however we chose 1 x starter of smoked salmon (they had run out of orange so said it would come with asparagus), 1 x burger and fries, 1 x haddock and fries (I asked if the fish was fresh opposed to frozen and I was told it was fresh). Starter arrived but they'd forgotten the asparagus, salmon was ok but the food was drowned in an overpowering sauce. Burger was basic and alright, overpriced for what it was though. Batter on fish was good but fish tasted as though it had been frozen and carried so much water, not just succulent but wet! Tartare sauce lacked zing and pea puree/mashed peas were basic but ok. Fries were ok. There was no salt in the salt grinder and no one around to ask for a replacement. No one came to check on our food at any stage. Neither of us finished our meals which isn't like us! I've eaten far better food in nearby pubs (one just down the road, if you're driving, and with a delightful garden) and prices are better too! Cappuccino was very good! To sum it up: Lovely beer garden for a coffee. Lovely staff. Inside - too cramped, could defo lose a few tables! Food - nothing special, on the pricey side for what it is.

We visited for Sunday lunch and were sat inside. The atmosphere was pretty flat and there were only 2 couples sat where we were. The staff we attentive and pleasant. I did have a wait a long time when I ordered a 2nd drink and had almost finished my meal before it arrived. We ordered roast which was very average and lack vegetable. The parsnips were under cooked. we ordered a side of cauliflower cheese which did warrant the £7.50 price tag and should have been half the price. This is a great summer pub, if sat outside, and I feel it’s more geared toward the standard pub food as opposed to roasts

The food was lovely and the location was great! We had a long wait for food, one of the three meals came out after about 45 minutes and the two other meals took an hour and 20 minutes with us asking different members of staff what was happening 3 times, each one saying it would be a few minutes. Very frustrating as we were in a rush to leave to catch a ferry, and hard to understand how a roast would take so long to plate up as it must all be cooked in bulk on a Sunday. The waiter said to go to the bar once we’d finished as they might be able to do a refund but no guarantee, we had to eat our food quick and rush off so didn’t get a chance to ask. It’s a shame that the experience wasn’t good as the pub itself and location was lovely.

Lovely catch up with friends over a couple of pints of Youngs and some lovely food. Thanks for looking after us so attentively. A real favourite place if ours! 😀😀

Amazing food, great service in a lovely setting. Highly recommend 👌

There can be no doubt that this is a very nice pub with a glorious garden. It can come as no surprise that it attracts a broad collective of walkers, young families and locals - especially on a sunny day in May. The staff are very nice and the food is not bad at all. However, the wait of over an hour from ordering of the food is not acceptable and impacted on our overall experience. I would further add that it was a great shame that the excuse for the delays was straight out of the top 10 excuse playbook and really felt that this could have been handled better and more honestly.

We went yesterday for a birthday lunch, the service i.e. people are nice but were confused about the food availability, our booking was 2pm. One person told one no chicken and ham pie, then another person came telling us only beef and onion pie left, at the end both came. We had to wait approx 40 mins for our food. Maybe because of the bank holiday, it was busy. Hence I only put 1 star for service. The food itself was nice, tasty.

Fab find on our little trip out, lovely setting in the beautiful countryside. Lovely staff and very quick to serve food and drink , would definitely recommend and we will definitely be going back

Very surprised how few customers were in the the pub on a Bank Holiday Saturday. Only one beer on offer! Shocked at the price of it, £5.60 a pint!

Lovely picturesque characterful old pub looking across the Severn to Wales. Beautiful garden and orchard behind. Staff are most helpful and friendly.

£5.40 for a pint of bitter,i wont go there again rip off prices

Not a great experience overall. Food pretty average (the ploughmans one of my party had was ok). It seems to go up and down at this place and definitely not on an 'up' trend at the moment. The garden is nice (that's why we went there) but you can't run a tab so have to keep ordering things at the bar which isn't ideal.

Fantastic location, fantastic food, great atmosphere

The staff here go above and beyond and are so helpful. We had a few mishaps in our group as we accidentally broke a glass and one of our group cut herself and needed plasters. The staff were calm and friendly and nothing seemed too much trouble. Food was excellent as always.

Lovely old pub in a rural location. Front beer garden is great in the summer. Quality ales served.

Lovely old pub that has not had all its character erased by over enthusiastic interior designers. Staff were friendly but not intrusive. Food also good.

The roast chicken was absolutely gorgeous and cooked to perfection. 👌

Always a great pub. Today was even more exceptional than usual. Food was lovely and the staff were amazing.

Lovely and accomodating pub and eatery. Large carpark. Staff were attentive. Food delicious. And service was quick for our group of ten.

Brought my roast out with chips instead of roast potatoes, if they'd run out why not come and explain at the point of order rather than just winging it and hoping it wouldn't be a problem, would have preferred to have option to order something different. My partners burger was not cooked properly and some had to be left as it was raw, hoping he doesnt end up with food poisoning. Would not return.

The White Hart reserves the right to cancel your reservation if you are 15mins late. So when we waited an hour for our meal to be delivered, I excersised my right to cancel the "service" charge. Otherwise the Roast was excellent. Only criticism is that the Yorkshire Puddings were dry. But it's a great location with a lovely beer garden.

Front of house excellent as usual but chaos in the kitchen Bank Holiday Monday. Over an hour's wait for dried up fish and chips. Multiple different excuses given to different tables for the problem.

Not having revived our preordered food over 2 hours after it was meant to be plated, we and all other customers in the room have been informed that only 1 chef has shown up and the I’ve rand hob is broken. We’ve been lied to multiple times about food being 5 minutes away and there has been no offer of discount, drinks or anything to offset the massive inconvenience. Customers deserve some honesty if a chef hasn’t shown up for a shift and some taking care of failing that - with all customers in this room waitin

Food took 45 mins to arrive ~ dishes not available. No Guinness zero - although it was available in the local Tesco . Asked for a tip - won’t go again

Brilliant pub. Really helpful and friendly staff (Lucie is a gem), brilliant service and great food. We will be back.

Had another family get together at The White Hart and like last years it was a great evening in a lovely country pub. They served up a great buffet that everyone loved. A great time was had by all! A big thank you to ALL the staff :) we will be back next year for another family reunion. Martyn.

Booked for a Mother’s Day meal, and absolutely loved the place. Lovely setting, great atmosphere and terrific service. Very busy, so book in advance. Food was good, although beef was a bit chewy and the larger roast potatoes were on the hard side, but apart from that, spot on. All the kids had fish and chips, which were fantastic with an amazing curry sauce to accompany the meal. Great drinks selection and a Sauvignon blanc my wife absolutely loved. Well worth the hours drive and would definitely recommend

Great service from Chloe and Saff and a fantastic meal! Will be back! The setting is exceptional with a wood burning stove, plush seating, dog friendly, what's not to like

Such a lovely pub great and friendly service didn’t have to wait long and food was delicious

Great little pub in the middle of nowhere. Good food, friendly staff.

We were exhausted and it was raining - we stepped inside this warm pub, sat by a roaring log burner, we're served beautifully by Molly and ate delicious food!

Lovely atmosphere by a warm fire and friendly service from Molly.

Service was very friendly, helpful and welcoming staff. Have been several times before so we were really looking forward to our Sunday roast. However the roast beef dish was really quite disappointing- small portion, beef was tasteless and dish generally soggy to the point I couldn’t work out whether it was sweet potato or mashed potato - a real shame as we’ve had great experience before. Desert (chocolate brownie) was great but the roast was very underwhelming I’m afraid…..as I say a real shame as normally very good 😔

Really enjoyable Sunday lunch. Good quality and friendly service from pleasant and well mannered staff

We visited as a table of ten for a birthday. So glad we did! Beautiful old pub with lots of charm. Staff were superb. Very warm and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Our visit felt so relaxed and un rushed and the food was absolutely spot on. There was a lovely open fire too. Highly recommended.

Very delicious food and excellent table service from Toni. Lovely country pub setting with a cosy fire.

Toni and the team were great as ever. The food was excellent and very tasty, always a favourite with us.

Improved significantly since we last came here. Staff were very friendly and accommodating, especially since we were a group with 9 kids.

Have always loved this place but my first visit back post COVID was a bit of a disappointment. Put it down to staff struggles so thought I'd give it another go on Sunday. Despite the best efforts of the front of house team to smooth things over, there are clearly still some kitchen issues as food took over an hour and some elements weren't great e.g. roast potatoes/gravy. Nice atmosphere as usual but won't be back until they can sort out their kitchen.

Lovely impromptu visit, such a nice atmosphere we decided to stay for a roast! Delicious. And free Bloody Mary shot!

Just perfect! We were out for a walk along Severn Beach and decided to have a meal before returning home. We received a very warm welcome from the chap behind the bar and made to feel at home right away. The drinks selection was excellent and they also provide bowls and treats for the dog. I had the fish and chips and hubby had the burger and fries! good quality ingredients and cooked to perfection. We shared a lemon posset for dessert which was beautiful. I would highly recommend.

Lovely food, friendly staff, great atmosphere. Proper nice country pub! Thanks!

Being honest, Having looked forward to the roast it was a bit mediocre..Meat was too done, potatoes not fully cooked and thin gravy. Veg all really lovely though and friendly service on what is evidently a busy day however we were one of the first tables. Gorgeous pub but little details missed such as table decorations seem to have been forgotten about since Xmas, grimy water in the flowers, candle not lit all dampen it

The roast here was generally very good, as was the service. However the lukewarm cauliflower and leek cheese was a complete rip off at £7 for a small portion and not very nice which spoilt the meal somewhat. If you come here don’t order the cauliflower and leek cheese and you will have a great time.

I booked a table for dinner online as a special treat for my 86 year old father, drove there from Bristol in the dark to be told on arrival they weren’t doing food! There was no apologies, I was told I couldn’t have booked as they closed the booking system 3 days ago but I have a clear as day booking! V disappointed as I had a bad experience here last time but had hoped under new management it had changed. Very disappointing!

Really lovely country pub. Beautiful interiors and lovely warm fires. Friendly staff & great food.

We had a very enjoyable Thursday lunch. There were three of us and a small dog. We were made very welcome and had a table in a room with a wood burner. Excellent service and food. Although not packed, given that it was a Winter weekday lunchtime, there was a great atmosphere. Highly recommended and we look forward to our next visit.

Lovely old pub in quiet village a few miles from Aust and the old Severn Bridge. Serves excellent real ale (it’s a Youngs pub) and a really good menu full of interesting and classic pub dishes. We were here in Jan with a very welcoming fire, but there’s a beer garden with views over the Severn towards Wales for when it’s warmer. Highly recommended.

New team here made our lunch fab, 5 of us and two dogs, the service was TOP class! Food excellent too. Highly recommend this pub, love it!

Clearly a busy day for this pub and we didn’t have a booking, yet out food came quickly and to an amazing standard

Beautiful pub, always friendly staff and great food.

Staff fab, food great, great selection of drinks, service was effective and well timed.

All five of us had a fantastic time on Christmas Day. A very relaxed lunch - great service, as usual. Staff were all friendly and helpful. Very much recommend The White Hart to friends and family. We will be back!

While I rarely leave reviews, our Christmas Day meal was an unfortunate disappointment. The wait for our mains was close to two hours, and when they arrived, the excessive salt made them inedible. Sadly, it wasn't just our table; nearby diners faced similar issues, meaning they already knew the food was not suitable and still decided to serve us the same 10 minutes later. The only silver lining was the attentive and apologetic staff who promptly acknowledged the need for a refund. I've been a patron of this pub for almost two decades and have previously enjoyed fantastic food and service. It's puzzling how things went so awry despite advance notice of numbers and meal choices for Christmas Day. If unable to manage on such occasions, perhaps offering this service isn't viable especially when charging over £100 per head. Hoping for a return to the usual standard on our next visit, where I can swap this review for a more positive one.

A very disheartening and disappointing Christmas day experience. On arrival we were sent into the small area/ room of which there was no lit fire, it was very cold and lacked any Christmas atmosphere. No music. There was a TV which had a picture of a fire burning above the none lit coal burning fire. My fingers were actually numb. We waited 25 minutes before we were offered any drinks and another 45 minutes before the cold starters arrived and this was after we prompted the waitress several times because we had been waiting over 35 minutes for the starters to arrive. The young waitress who served us was passively aggressive, stressed and rude. We noticed that later on she put her coat on and walked out of the restaurant finishing her shift early. This was just after she told us we would have to wait 10 minutes to speak to the manager. When we spoke to the manager he explained to us that two of the chefs hadn’t turned in for the day he was very smiley and offered us compensation for our drinks. He promised us the dinner would be out in 5 minutes we waited a further 25! We arrived at the restaurant at 13:00 and our Christmas dinners came out at 14:45. They were none edible. No pigs in blankets, hard Brussels sprouts, tough meat, cold Yorkshire's. There were several other people in our area who were unhappy with the food and service and there was a table opposite where two ladies waited over an hour and a half for their starters. When they were eventually brought out they were the wrong orders. Some of my party had driven over an hour to get to the destination today. We left halfway through our Christmas dinners and did not have dessert. This is a disorganised un atmospheric, poorly run Christmas day venue, that serves cold tasteless food at £106 per head.

Christmas Day dinner, pre order pre paid, ridiculous waiting times, cold and very overcooked food, uter chaos no communication no heating ,shall I go on.in summery absolute rubbish

Shocking service.communication - non-existent . Food cold and inedible. Staff were mixing up orders. And we were told 2 chefs had not come, plus we had got forgotten. No heating. No atmosphere. No music. Staff clearly did not want to be there. Extremely overpriced! I would rate this whole Christmas Day experience with a zero.

Called in for a drink only on Christmas eve - 24th December 2023 during a walk that I had started from Thornbury - at before 1 pm - they were busy and there was still room inside as it was not nice enough to sit outside - glad to see this pub still around after some 30 years after my last visit at a different time of year

Disappointing. Very, very long wait for meal. When the roast dinner finally came there were no green vegetables and a tiny portion of other vegetables. Roast potatoes were rock hard. A tiny jug of gravy was left for two people ... when asked for more gravy it was supplied but was very thin and watery. During the long wait we were frequently approached by staff asking if we wanted more drinks ... it felt like a hard sell of alcoholic drinks to take our minds off the hunger pangs. Fully expected some kind of reduction in the bill for the poor experience but all we had were perfunctory apologies for the unacceptable wait.

We had a great meal and our server Aaliyah was excellent!

Good food and drink , we had the roast beef , it was very good but the portion for £20 was very poor value , half a roasted carrot , quarter of a parsnip , 5 roast potato cubes and a tablespoon of cabbage , unfortunately won’t be returning.

Lovely welcome Sunday roast after wet walk. Staff brilliant. Lovely traditional country pub. Will definitely be back

Booked Festive menu & pre-ordered menu choices (back in October)for a family gathering as away at Christmas. Previous 2 years have enjoyed wonderful Christmas Day lunch here. Expected some kind of festive nod to the table like crackers - but felt like a normal Sunday lunch. Table booked for 1pm - starters did not arrive until 2.10pm despite being told numerous times they were just being plated. Very nice parsnip soup but incomplete menu choice. Scallop starter consisted of 3 very tiny scallops. Main course did not arrive until 3pm - and again did not resemble the description on the pre-booked festive menu - no festive stuffing and no brussel sprouts on either the beef or turkey menu; roast potatoes not great; and plate very small - saddly not a patch on previous 2 years. Had to wait further time for cutlery meaning one person actually finished their main before 4 others could even start. To top it all, we were then told there were none of our pre-booked dessert choices and option of only 2 desserts on that days menu. We had dessert back at home. The serving staff remained very kind & polite (despite clearly being rushed off their feet) but I wish they had just been honest and admitted our festive menu choice simply had not been factored in for yesterday’s Sunday lunch service. Naturally we were given a discount but this saddly did not make up for spoiling this years family Christmas gathering.

Just had a wonderful festive meal for 18 people, friends and children. The food all came out warm and tasty and the staff couldn't have been more welcoming and attentive, particularly Michelle. Highly recommended this cosy pub in both warm and cooler times of year.

We came as really big party, the staff were exceptional and really friendly. They really make you feel at home. Such a nice atmosphere.

Lovely to be back after the Covid years. We all thought the food was excellent. The staff were attentive and service excellent.

Great food and great service from Chloe

Ellie was our lovely server tonight. She was very attentive and friendly. The food was delicious and will definitely be returning! Thank you again :)

All round ok, cold day so expected the fires to be lit and give it a warm cosy feel. Food was good, I had the Pie, which was excellent tbh, staff friendly helpful and observant so would recommend a visit

Went for a meal for 2 on Saturday 11th Nov at 6.45 very awkward atmosphere. The staff were more interested in socialising with each other at the bar being very loud. A member of staff tending to the fire was swearing loudly. There was only one other table occupied by customers and told kitchen was closed at 8pm. The chef was eating pizza at the bar. We had to leave table to go and ask a member of staff for bill. I have been coming to this pub for over 30 years and never had such a bad feeling.

Sunday lunch booked.. didn't have one ...took drinks order and informed no carrots left or Wellington took about 10 minutes for drinks no problem, then another 10 mins to take food order ... ..told no roast potatoes left ...what a sad state...😫1 beef and one chicken.. ordered ask for mash.. instead...another 15 later waitress came back to be told no chicken left...bizarre. we just upped and left. been here before won't be returning not an extensive menu a little over priced.. I don't expect to pay for cabbage and parsnips as extra.. even if I did they'd have properly run

Went here today as part of a group booking. Aside from the general confusion over our booking (table not ready, gave us menus for a pre'ordered meal) the meal I had was very sub par and expensive for what I received. Roast Beef was undercooked to the extent that it was hard to cut, chewy and barely digestible. 😫. Clearly the wrong cut of beef had been used for offering up a rare Roast Beef! Not that I was even asked how I wanted it cooked! Staff were friendly and helpful, but poor meal..
