White Hart, Blythburghback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
The convenience, location, and the building itself are excellent. The beer is of indifferent quality however, and on our recent visit the food was both highly priced and poorly cooked.

Great pub that in Summer especially is a really good place for a pint as the sun goes down over the Estuary. The beer is always good and is generally a selection of Adnams well known and less-well known bitters plus usual lagers and the food is solid pub food, I always have fish and chips and have not been disappointed yet. Staff are great and there's a good mix of locals and drop-ins. Due to it's position between Walberswick and Southwold it also makes a good fall-back if you can't get in to a pub there for lunch. Well worth a visit.

Recently stayed for 2 nights with my wife and dogs. The beer was very well kept, the food was very tasty and reasonably priced and staff very friendly.
Great location for a short stay or a passing visit; there's a very nice river walk from the car park behind the pub to Walberswick.
They've now got a pool table too; although there isn't really enough room to play easily!

I haven't been (or stayed) here for about a year and feel the food has deteriorated ; it was ok (but not very good, as before). The beers were well kept as usual.
There seemed to be some 'friction' amongst the staff too, although they were very friendly and helpful to me!
I hope they pull things around because this is still a good pub but not quite as good as previously.

I had a meal here over the Bank Holiday Weekend at the end of August 2009. I told the staff I would review the pub at the end of my meal (in a fit of pique) so here is the review. On reflection, the service was friendly and the food was good-ish (more on that in a moment) but what got my goat was the length of time it took to get served after ordering, of the order of 45 mins and that was in the restaurant section. I'm actually surprised to see such a low average rating from other reviewers - my rating in fact nudged the average up a little. I had chicken curry, and to my surprise got a whole piece of chicken over rice, rather than pieces in a sauce. The chicken was somewhat burnt along one edge (enough to leave that edge) but good quality - hastily prepared? Ample quantities of rice, but very little sauce; what sauce there was was left you wanting more, it was good. Had a very good glass of Adnams-sponsored red wine. I wanted pudding but by that stage didn't really have time. I ordered the choc ice cream anyway - very good, with bits of chocolate throughout, but just managed to eat about half when the party I was with had to leave. Ah well. If the service had been prompt, it would have been a great meal out, but as it was I got a little narked.

I visited this pub last night.
While the food was nice,the service was very slow.
The waitress said the chef had 12 meals to cook,there was only 5 tables taken,so it was less than half full,how would he cope if it ws full.
The main course was 45 mins after finishing our starter

After spending a week in southwold with my wife and young daughter, we visited The White Hart on two occasions and I have to say I was very impressed by the friendly service and the quality of food.
The beer battered cod was to die for and they kept a first class pint of Adnams Reggata.
Well worth a visit.

After years of happy drinking and good food I took my wife and toddler and a guest to enjoy a great English pub meal. How wrong could I be?!! The incompetant barman did not take down half of our order, a fact we only found out when only two out of four dishes turned up. When I complained not once did the word "sorry" pass the very aggressive manager's lips and he accused me of taking too long to complain. I then did what I have never done before which was to walk out refusing to pay.
I have told seven regulars never to set foot in the place again and to date they have obliged!
If you want a really great meal with real service go to the Lord Nelson in Southwold. My favourite pub in Britain!!!
