Services
Owned & run by brothers Tom & James Bainbridge, The White Hart offers varied menus, real ales, an extensive gin range, cocktails & an exciting wine list. The White Hart dates back to 1681 and it was Welwyn's main coaching inn. It was a popular overnight stop for travellers going north from London and at one point it offered fourteen beds for humans and stabling for thirty four horses.
Our four converted stable rooms offer comfort and practicality, having direct access to the car park. These rooms are perfect for those staying for multiple nights.

Our beautiful stable rooms have been fitted with key safes - meaning you can book & pay for your room in advance, we'll send you a code to access your room key & you can drop your key in a drop box at the end of your stay - we'll be on the end of the phone if you need anything.In the main house we offer six standard double rooms, two of which boast Four Poster beds.
Our function room is the former court house of Welwyn but now we use it for wedding receptions, parties, celebrations and conferences. Now suitable for special occasions, celebrations & watching sports. We have a range of different menu's and packages from buffets for up to 80 to a sit down meal for 40.
We have experienced a fire in The White Hart kitchen. Thankfully no one has been harmed. We would like to say a big thank you to the wonderful fire brigade team who swiftly made the building safe. Our beautiful restaurant & bar area remain unaffected & therefore normal drinks service will resume. We are currently offering a BBQ menu only, which is available Friday & Saturdays 5-8pm.

Truly terrific food, gorgeous atmosphere and very friendly staff. Originally knew of this place due to the sister pub of The Tilbury. Was equally pleased, and will definitely be coming back. Brilliant and scrumptious! Thanks again :-).

Went for Sunday lunch, staff friendly and attentive. My wife had the goats cheese starter and loved it. I had the peppers with crab and prawn, sadly although the peppers were lovely there seemed very little crab or prawn so in my view expensive for what it was. The roast beef and roast chicken dinners though were absolutely excellent the best I can remember having out. Sort the starter for 5 stars.

I found the starter very expensive for what you got. If I had known the portion I would not have ordered it. But the upside is the food was really good and tasty and staff were friendly. Hence the 3 star.
