The restaurant recently changed ownership in early 2023. In summary: the service was friendly, the beer was decent, but there are better dining options available. Pub food in Suffolk typically includes a good burger and fish and chips. The fish and chips I ordered consisted of thin pieces of haddock with a lot of batter, served with greasy chips and a small side of rocket without dressing. The tartare sauce was delicious but had to be requested separately. The burger was average, served on a plain white untoasted bun. The starters we tried were disappointing, with little to no Parma ham in the croquettes and smoked salmon instead of crayfish in the cocktail. The interior ambiance was nice bu...
I was a bit wary of this pub as it looks like one that serves basic pub type food. How wrong could I have been?! The atmosphere is not great, so if you want a quiet, intimate meal, then it's not for you. But if you want excellent food at even more excellent prices, then don't miss it. We had Hunters Chicken and it came up with chips and home made, really tasty coleslaw. We could have had one between two with the size of the portions but were good soldiers and ate the lot! It was well cooked, well seasoned and at £10 was fantastic value. Our guest had a burger that, unfortunately, was overcooked but when we were asked why she had left it and explained, it was taken off the bill perfect custom...
We came into boxford while we were travelling past..We noticed two pubs in the village. We went into the fleece but unfortunately they were busy and we could not get a table so we went over to the white heart (what we originally thought was abandoned) but were welcomed in by a lovely lady called carly and her two children...unfortunately the place was absolutely freezing and no food was available. She couldn't even offer crisps or nuts. There was not much to offer when it came to alcohol either (on daft). We stayed a bit to chat but had to move on as our needs were not met. Would not recommend. Owners obviously don't care about the place. Lovely location potential.
First time down to the pub since new management unfortunately first impression was very untidy scruffy outside area, dirty glasses in the stream garden over grown with tall weed so you couldn't even see the stream! There was also a pint glass in the water, full ashtrays generally looked unkempt they were not busy as my husband i were the only two, on entering the pub there was plaster been knocked off the wall left on the carpet, my gin glass was covered in water marks not sparkling clean, we were going to eat but the menu was a big plastic covered one was sticky so we thought no! So disappointed as its a lovely place to normally sit socialise.

The charming pub had delicious food, but could have offered more options. Philip, the friendly owner, would make a great host. Highly recommend. Plenty of onsite parking. Prices range from £10-20 per person. Food rated 5 out of 5, service 4 out of 5.
A hidden gem! The food was fresh and delicious and certainly one of the best meals we have enjoyed since we moved to Suffolk two years ago. The service was excellent. I would wholeheartedly recommend the White Heart.
We just had a quick drink during the Saturday Market. I'd like to go back and try the food. Price per person: £1–10 Service: 3 Atmosphere: 4
