The White Hart
About
The White Hart is a proud family‑run village pub tucked into the charming streets of Grafton Regis, Northamptonshire. Since 1996 the Drake family – with head chef Alan at the helm – has crafted a menu that blends classic British fare with adventurous Thai flavours, all sourced from local producers and freshly prepared each day. The weekend menu even includes a lively Thai buffet on Sundays, and the kitchen prides itself on sourcing responsibly harvested fish from M and J Seafood. A relaxed dining experience is offered in a cosy setting that holds 26‑29 covers at a time. While the pub is famously “free house” – serving a wide selection of draught stouts, ales and wines – guests can choose a 125ml or 250ml glass. With free Wi‑Fi, off‑street parking, wheelchair accessibility, vegan and gluten‑free options, and a full bar, there’s something for every palate. Service runs from noon to 2:00 pm for lunch and from 5:30 pm to 8:30 pm (or 9:00 pm on select evenings), with the unique Sunday roast available from 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm. While the pub welcomes dinner guests to sit in a relaxed, family‑friendly atmosphere, the high demand means they strongly advise making a phone reservation in advance to avoid disappointment. Whether you’re looking for a hearty lunch, a convivial dinner with friends, or a welcoming spot for a weekend bite, The White Hart delivers local charm, friendly service, and a menu that celebrates both traditional English cooking and authentic Thai cuisine.
