Fantastic Sunday lunch. The flavours, service and atmosphere were amazing. Sat in the bar with our dog and baby, it was cosy and private for our party. We love the decor and tableware. Very pleased to have found such a brilliant spot for food.

Just had dinner - and the food was sublime! Started with Scorched Mackerel, followed by Sirloin Steak, then Banana Namelaka (with a delicious desert wine) Great staff, lovely atmosphere - def planning return visits.

The food here is unbelievably good - probably the best roast I've ever had! It isn't cheap and the menu has some quirks, but it's an incredible culinary experience and a lovely village pub. Will be back!

Had a brilliant Sunday lunch here. The folk taking care of us couldn’t have been nicer. Very relaxed in a wonderful quirky old pub and beautifully presented food with real flavour.

My partner and I were fortunate enough to stop by this lovely countryside pub for a Sunday roast back at the end of November. However, as we discovered, this is not your average roast dinner! We had Quails egg scotch egg for starter which was a true work of art in itself. Then came our mains – I had the pork and my partner had the roast beef. Every element of the dish was sublime and we rave about the celeriac puree to this day. Wine and service was top notch and the home-made focaccia was divine. The Head Chef even took the time to chat to us at our table. 10/10 – amazing experience and the best pub meal my partner and I have had in our combined 72 years!

Just had our first meal at the newly opened White heart, the food is seriously high class, absolutely delicious. It's not your average pub meal out but that's a good thing and it's not supposed to be. Will be coming back regularly!

We went for a family lunch last week. This pub has a really nice atmosphere and friendly staff. The quality of food was very good with a superbly presented sunday roast and a nice range of starters. Will definitely be going back in the near future.

***CLOSED*** Landlord did a runner owing local businesses money Fabulous food, served by friendly staff in a lovely country pub. I’ve dropped a star from atmosphere as unfortunately, there weren’t many in the pub on the day we visited. Had lunch from the small plates menu, two dishes each & had plenty between the three of us. 40 per head but we didn’t have alcoholic drinks. We will definitely be back!
