The White Hart Pub in Warrington

About This Pub

Ah, The White Hart – it's one of those places that just feels like a proper local gem in Warrington, you know? From the moment you step in, you're greeted with this warm, inviting atmosphere that's perfect for unwinding after a long day. The food really steals the show; I've heard so many raves about their steaks cooked to perfection on volcanic stones, those hearty Sunday roasts that hit the spot, and even their afternoon tea that's loaded with sandwiches, cakes, and the option to add a bit of fizz for an extra cheer. It's all made with quality ingredients from local suppliers, which gives it that authentic, fresh feel. The drinks menu is another winner, with a brilliant array of ales, wines, and cocktails that pair beautifully with whatever you're tucking into. And the team there? They're an absolute delight, always on hand with a smile and quick to sort you out, making you feel right at home. On the flip side, it does get busy, especially on weekends, so it's wise to book ahead if you don't fancy queuing up. Plus, while the prices are fair for what you get, they might stretch the budget a bit for everyday visits rather than special occasions. All in all, it's a fantastic spot for a relaxed evening or a catch-up over drinks – I'd say give it a go if you're in the area, as it's got that balance of quality and charm that makes it stand out.

Pros and Cons

Pros

The food here is absolutely spot on – think succulent steaks, tasty Sunday roasts, and a smashing afternoon tea with all the trimmings, all made from locally sourced produce.
The staff are proper friendly and attentive, always popping by to make sure you're having a good time, just like chatting with mates behind the bar.
They've got a cracking selection of drinks, from fine ales and wines to spectacular cocktails, plus options like bottomless brunch to make any visit feel special.
The dining area is beautiful and cosy, with private booths that make it perfect for a relaxed catch-up or a date night without the hustle and bustle.

Cons

It can get a bit crowded at peak times, so you might have to plan ahead to snag a table and avoid any waiting around.
With moderate prices, it might feel a tad pricey for a casual midweek pint, though it's well worth it for a proper treat.

I have exceeded my character’s and won’t let me post anything more. Wandering Wednesday today was simply AMAZING….xxx❤️ 6th May 2024 ‘Wandering Wednesday’ this week took Hubster Neil and I back to The White Hart, they change their menu’s quite often and it would be very rude not to try out their new cuisine creations! They never fail to please….. We didn’t have starters as the dishes are huge and would of been far too much food!….. Entrées: Neil had bone in Pork Tomahawk marinated and grilled with chorizo and garlic sauce…. Served with loaded fries, skin on fries with magic dust, gooey cheese, bacon bites, house sauce with takeaway toppings. I had a burger….. double stack beef and cheese, ketchup and Manc sauce with a glazed short rib, topped with massive onion ring and ranch slaw….. Upgraded my fries to skin on fries, dusted with chip salt with southern fried chicken, cheese sauce, loads of chorizo, marinara sauce, Parmesan and garlic butter….. Neil had a pot of tea and I had a coke. We’ve been back to this pub a good few times now and each new menu has drawn us in each time, the food is sooooo beautiful, piping hot…..and plenty of it, proper belly busters…. We will continue to return as the food is simply perfect… 15th May 2024: ‘Wandering Wednesday’ this week took Hubster Neil and I back a place we’ve been many times previously, they change their menus frequently, hence our returns to…… ‘The White Hart’….. this place never ceases to fail us…. Every time we’ve been the food has been absolutely ‘Spot On’ as my Father in law Arthur, would of said….bless him xx❤️ For starters we both had the same: Flour tortillas, battered cod goujons, tartare sauce, pea purée, shredded lettuce, potato strings and veg, drizzled with a curry sauce dressing….. They were huge and soooo tasty. Entrées: Neil had kangaroo and jalapeño burger with all the trimmings, salad, beef tomato, crisps bacon, spicy sausage and bacon ranch dressing, then topped off with a massive shrimp cooked on the barbie, with added fries on the side….. I had a smashed burger and when it arrived it was ‘double pattie’ with thick fried chicken tenders dipped in honey butter and wing sauce, crispy bacon rashers with gherkins and ranch dressing…… I upgraded my fries to loaded fries, which came with red salt, melted cheese poured over strips of tender steak slices, accompanied with fried onions, peppers, ballpark mustard gherkins, spiced mayo and all sprinkled with Cajun dust….. My eyes popped out of my head when it came, it looked amazing and all the flavours were something else….. Staff are attentive and very polite as always…… Will we return?….. Over and over! Without no doubt at all….xxx❤️ 24th July 2024. ‘Wandering Wednesday’ this week took Rhi, Max, Neil and I to the best burger restaurant in our eyes….. Back to the White Hart. Best burgers ever!! We were celebrating Rhi’s final exam of 7 years Solicitor training and it’s also her birthday tomorrow too….. Happy birthday Our Gorgeous girl xxx Rhi had Seoul destroyer, Max had a WFC burger, Neil and I both had Honey Monster. These burgers are so filling and bursting with flavours. I took screenshots of the burgers contents as it would take ages to write down!! Finishing off back at Max and Rhi house, with a Marks and Spencer’s ‘Connie the caterpillar’ birthday cake. xxx❤️

I highly recommend the Sunday roast. Really good quality for a reasonable price. The staff were brilliant too! Next visit: Outstanding Christmas special burger! I'm struggling to remember a more enjoyable festive burger I've ingested or even any burger even. The 'Elf is Priestly' had two mouthwatering thick beef patties which were cooked perfectly. Two delightfully crisp and juicy turkey strips and tasty bacon rashers. The sauces added in were incredible, particularly the bacon cranberry sauce which spilled out the bun. A truly superb messy meat stack! The beef dripping chips are a must have at the White Hart. Huge greasy chips with a nice crispy skin. I also had the Chinese chicken bites. Again, these were moist in the middle with a lively crisp batter. Perfectly accompanied by a sticky and sweet plum sauce. I enjoyed every single mouthful of the feast. I've always had a fantastic meal at the White Hart and the staff are always a delight. Certainly one of the best places for food and drink in Warrington! Another visit: And another sensational meal! This place never disappoints. Both with its food and the service from the staff. Everytime they update their menu it includes an incredible burger. On this occasion I had the '3 Little Pigs' and it was a beautiful stack. They weren't "smash" patties they were thick ones but they tasted lovely and had a great charred flavour too. The bacon chop burnt ends had a similar char flavour too and were beautifully smokey too. I enjoyed every messy jawbreaking bite! It was however missing the BBQ style pickles and had onion rings rather than shoestring onions. Both of which (particularly pickles) would have elevated the burger even further. I wasn't thinking about this while I was stuffing it down though! Further satisfying mess came from the 'Badda Bing' starter I had on the side. Hefty chicken tenders coated in marinara and cheese with plenty of pepperoni slices as well. The tenders were perfectly crisp. Overall a fantastic load of scran that left me full and extremely satisfied. Really can't recommend the White Hart highly enough.

I am not in Warrington very often but have been here for drinks a few times previously. But this was the first time getting food and I was very impressed. I got the 'Smash Burger' which was excellent. 2 patties which were cooked perfectly which were soft and juicy with an a well seasons and lovely grilled taste. (You can tell that they make the patties themselves) Served in a really soft fresh bun with plenty of cheese and sauce. Not really a smash burger as the patties were definitely not flattened thin enough, but I will forgive them because they tasted so good! Their fries looked fine (from what I could see on other tables) but I asked for the thick chips as personally I normally prefer these (I think these are called beef fat chips on the menu) and they were amazing! Massive chunky thick chips, which were perfectly cooked and soft and fluffy inside. My colleagues all enjoyed their food as well, and the service was also excellent. Best burger I've had for a long time and I would definitely recommend this place.
