About The White Hart Inn Boxford
Split across two sides of one building, The White Hart Inn Boxford is a pub in Sudbury on Broad St, with the bar on one side and a cafe on the other and a sign outside noting the cafe's opening. A log fire burns inside, with seating beside it. The kitchen runs to 29 dishes, among them Goats Cheese & Beetroot Bonbons, Smoked Salmon Roulade and The White Hart Beef Patty, alongside bar meals, a Friday fish and chips night and a curry night. The cafe side pours coffee, tea and cake and puts out light bites including a panini with crisps, while the bar keeps well-kept beers. Rooms above take guests, who can carry drinks and food up from downstairs. Dogs are welcome, and a quiz night brings people in, as do community events such as a craft fair and a bike meet. The pub opens daily and draws walkers on circular routes around Boxford and Groton. It trades under new ownership.

Customer Review Summary
The dual pub and cafe setup draws the most comment, with several visitors arriving for a coffee and cake or a light bite and finding one side a proper pub, the other a cafe. Close behind is the warm log fire, singled out by more than one reviewer as the spot to settle in with a pint. Food comes up repeatedly in specifics: Friday fish and chips, a curry night, bar meals, and a panini with crisps, described as enjoyable and reasonably priced, though a couple call the pub a little pricey while still rating it good value for a village local. Others mention well kept beers and excellent coffee. Reviewers note friendly staff, promptly cleared tables, clean toilets stocked with feminine hygiene products, and one recalls the owner coming out to greet them. Walkers, campers, and dog owners mention the outside seating, and community events surface often, a craft fair and a bike meet among them, with one guest praising the accommodation above the pub.

“My partner Kerry and I had the good fortune to attend today's craft fair on behalf of Re-Cycle, bikes for Africa. What a wonderful atmosphere there was, this place is a true community asset, exactly what a village pub should. We shall be visiting sometime as "normal" Well done guys, a really fab place.”
- Jamie Potts
“Lovely staff, friendly atmosphere, food looks good (and is good value for money), has really improved since change of ownership. Whilst a little pricey, no more than expected from a local village pub. Enjoyable for a morning coffee or tea and a light bite.”
