The White Hart

Beautiful grade 1* listed tudor dining pub in North Essex. Food was good – I had a tender, locally-sourced pork roast served with a giant yorkshire pudding, stuffing, and delicious salty, crispy crackling. And if I’d not been stuffing my face all weekend, I’d have been tempted to try the local pigeon salad starter. Service was slightly odd, with the head waiter wearing a Secret Service-style earpiece to feed him instructions directly from the kitchen, and it was quite a formal environment. But recommended if you’re in the area.
