Discover more about The White Hart Flitton
A Village Pub with a Modern Heart
Nestled in the peaceful village of Flitton, The White Hart stands as a classic English country pub with a distinctly contemporary edge. Its stone and timber façade, framed by mature trees and the nearby church, gives it a timeless charm, while inside, the space balances rustic warmth with a smart, welcoming feel. As a family-owned establishment, it carries a personal touch that’s evident in the attentive service and carefully curated menu. Whether you’re stopping in for a pint and a snack or settling in for a full meal, the pub radiates a sense of comfort and authenticity that’s hard to find in more generic venues.Food That Feels Like Home
The White Hart has built its reputation on hearty, well-executed British fare, with an emphasis on generous portions and fresh, quality ingredients. The menu features pub classics done right – think beef and Guinness pie, fish and chips, and a much-praised Sunday roast – alongside more refined dishes that showcase the skill of an award-winning kitchen. The focus is on flavour and satisfaction, with careful attention to detail in both cooking and presentation. For guests with dietary needs, the team is known for being accommodating, particularly with allergies, ensuring that everyone at the table can enjoy a meal without compromise.A Venue for Celebrations
Beyond its role as a local pub and restaurant, The White Hart is also a sought-after events and wedding venue. A bespoke marquee in the garden provides a flexible, elegant space for ceremonies, wedding breakfasts, and private parties, accommodating up to 130 guests for a buffet and 80 for a sit-down meal. The setting, with willow trees, birdsong, and the church as a backdrop, creates a romantic, countryside atmosphere. With no fixed packages, weddings and events are tailored to each couple or group, supported by a professional team that handles everything from planning to the final toast.Atmosphere and Setting
The pub’s location in a conservation area and area of natural beauty adds to its appeal. Guests often remark on the peaceful, green surroundings and the way the space transforms in the evening, with soft lighting and a convivial buzz. The garden and marquee area are particularly atmospheric as the sun sets, making it a popular choice for evening drinks and celebrations. The overall vibe is smart-casual and inclusive: families, couples, and groups of friends all feel at home, whether they’re sharing a casual meal or marking a special occasion in the marquee.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
