The 'Island' derived from the fact that when the river Wid flooded and the water rose it never quite reached as high as the pub. The 'Tigers' were the railway builders of last century who got dressed up to visit the pub each weekend, and sometimes resolved their disputes with bare knuckles in the pub precincts! The property is a traditional Essex weather-board building, with a large single bar and an extensive conservatory. The bar area is dominated by a wood burning stove and chimney stack, a welcomed source of warmth on a cold winters day. The building was substantially extended in the seventies including a large kitchen which to this day enables food to be prepared promptly, a source of great pride and there is a good choice of items on the menu. There's a fine selection of real ales at the White Hart with house beers coming from local champion brewer Mighty Oak (Oscar Wilde Mild and IPA) and regional stalwart Adnams (Best and Broadside) The White Hart has a reputation as a really good place to eat, with the emphasis on using only quality produce sourced locally when available. Food is available 7 days a week with a wide range of meals and snacks. A selection of 'Daily Specials' are featured on a huge Blackboard that hangs over the fireplace in the main bar.
