My dad was sadly in Papworth Hospital recently. In Papworth, there's nothing to see so hungry and in need of a change of scenery, we ended up on the road and driving all the way to Godmanchester. We happened upon the White Hart by accident and were early enough in the evening to get a table without disruption as they were in fact booked out for the evening. The White Hart puts the gastro in gastropub, as you need gastrointestinal fortitude to handle to the obscene portion sizes.
Yes, I went for my usual burger and chips which came with a side of chili. This burger came with cheese, bacon and onion rings and was fresh as a daisy. It was probably a full half pounder and I honestly thought I might pass out half way through but such was the taste, I soldiered on. The chips were chunky cut and lovely and the chili was excellent though was way too much for the plate. I managed to finish the burger and the chips but the chili had to go home with us in a doggy bag. It was still good when eaten as leftovers.
The staff couldn't have been more friendly or accomodating. While I'm seldom ever in Godmanchester, if I can go back, I most certainly will. read more
