A while back I travelled up to Harrogate with my boyfriend and after we had refreshed ourselves after a long car journey went in quest of some food. As this was a sort of mini-holiday we wanted to treat ourselves. We stumbled agree the White Hart in our quest and were not disappointed.
The restaurant is a tea room during the day and it appears that in the evenings it is trying to turn itself into a restaurant, so to that end it was probably very early days as a dining establishment. The restaurant was rather sparsely populated by other dining customers, but that did not deter us.
We got seated in a lovely part of the restaurant with my boyfriend getting a sort of throne for his seat.
I had pork belly for starters, and for mains I had guinea fowl wellington. As there was extra meat from the preparation of my mains they brought that out in a lovely bowl for me to nibble on if I was still hungry. The starter and main were so succulent and moist; they were so tender that they melted in my mouth. It was the right combination of flavours and texture.
My boyfriend had pigeon for starters and I can't remember what he had for mains. I was focusing too much on the delightful flavours of my dish.
I would highly recommend coming to the White Hart. Obviously it is much pricier than a pub, but the delights on the palate do not compare. read more
