White Hart - Abingdon

This was an impromptu lunchtime visit for two people. I popped into the bar to ask whether they might be able to accommodate us for lunch and the barman said that they would squeeze us in. It seemed really busy, with almost every table taken. We sat in the bar, and the waitress quickly came and took our order. Whilst the two course lunch menu looked appealing, we chose from the a la carte menu and were delighted with our choices. The belly pork was amazing, as was the steak. Desserts were fabulous too. Cappuccinos came with lovely chocolate brownies but sadly we were too full to even attempt them. Fabulous food, a warm welcome, what's not to like here?

This is a lovely setting for a pub, it's lovely inside with a nice atmosphere. The food for me was average, we had the mezze starter boards which I thought were expensive for what was on them. We ordered the fish and chips for our mains which again, I didn't think was anything special, pretty much what you get in any pub but the peas were nice and the homemade tarte sauce I thought was very nice. I didn't enjoy the Mille feuille for dessert, too sickly and no crunch to it. Personally, I thought this was a nice place to enjoy lunch but overall, it was average, HOWEVER, I did think it was very expensive for what it was. £16.25 for a GLASS of wine. The staff were very pleasant but I agree with another review on here that the service was slow and we were there at lunchtime when it was not overly busy.

Me and my partner booked a table for date nite with a special request of some simular to a birthday board but a date night message board.. food was amazing, really nice atmosphere and kind staff.. Will definitely be going back...

Went here for an anniversary meal and overall had an excellent experience so no major complaints. Just a couple of things that would just push it to perfection. Had the antipasti sharing board for the starter, wasn’t to my tastes at all. Just didn’t blow me away for the price and how it sounded on the menu I would say it was very average. Would have benefitted from some olives or fruit in my opinion. Pork belly for main which was beautiful, so tender and not fatty at all. Would have liked some apple sauce because even though the pork was delicious I just love the flavour combination, however didn’t really get much opportunity to ask as service was a bit slow for my liking. Although I don’t like staff all over when I’m eating I felt like the visits to the table were a bit infrequent and while I appreciate it was probably a busy Saturday night I felt like it would have been nice to have a bit more of a look in. The staff were very friendly and polite however I did have to keep prompting them to come over when I wanted the bill etc or wanted to order another drink etc etc. Shared a sticky toffee pudding, was tasty but extremely sweet. Got a lovely surprise at the end of the meal which made me smile. Overall excellent but not quite perfect. Thanks

Outstanding food, impeccable service, and a divine environment. I cannot fault this establishment on any part of its food, service or the building. Ridiculously good food served in a 16th century building by highly trained polite staff…… what’s not to like …. Nothing ! Frankly if you have not used this gem on your doorstep you are a fool !
