Description: Where is it?
The White Hart Inn is located in Lydgate Saddleworth and is approximately 15 miles from city centre Manchester and is only about 10 minutes drive from the M62 and is not far from the Saddleworth Moors.
What's there?Well from the outside the White Hart still has the look of a typical British pub complete with benches outside for the some summer sunshine that we do occasionally enjoy! Entering through the main door at the front is the pub with two small rooms located on the right hand side. The pub is like most British pubs but does have a very good wine list as well as an extensive range of changing guest beers that will keep most people trying different things for hours!
The two-roomed bistro on the left hand side features a local and traditional menu that serves good hearty food including a great selection of sandwiches at lunch-time. My favourite is the open chicken sandwich which with great thick cut home made chips works out at about £8.00 per person so good value for a nice treat! The evening menu features more home style cooking including a great selection of bangers (i.e. sausages) from the White Hart's own kitchens as well as a varying selection of bread that is always served and is to die for! My favourite is the onion and the walnut! Make sure you try on of the sumptuous home made desserts and the sticky toffee pudding is famous locally!
The décor is traditional in the bistro to match the food with warm (very warm actually!) inviting open fire. As the bistro is partially open to the bar area I always go for a corner table to make the dining experience a little quieter! Another thing to note is that if you have an early dinner (i.e. pre-7pm then your table may be re-allocated to another group later so you may not be able to keep it until late!) A three course evening meal would cost approx £25.00 excluding drinks per person.
The restaurant is a small intimate affair in a new constructed ground floor extension that is air conditioned with light modern furniture and wooden flooring. A modern bar area is the perfect relaxing way to start your meal with an aperitif and enjoy view out of the double French windows. The courses here are medium sized with some great variations on stunning classics with meat and fish options interspersed with imaginative vegetarian options. The service is always impeccable and the wine list is great with some excellently priced wines including the house wines which offer value and choice. A three course meal will cost in the region of £50-75 including wine, canapés, coffee and home made chocolates.
In winter the restaurant also has some great offers including 'fish on a Tuesday' and '2 for 1' on Sundays and Mondays with some great set menu options that means it costs approx £15.00 per person to eat here.
