We're local and never been here before until recently. Best food & service we've had for quite a long time (and we've eaten at a lot of places over the years!) Food was delicious, beef fillet was cooked to perfection. Staff and chef were lovely, personal and accommodating to food intolerances.Shall definitely be back for the Sunday roast!

Food here is the best you’ll find for miles. We had an amazing 3 course family meal while staying at the Pub visiting family locally. Dishes for everyone, kids loved it too.All the food locally sourced and is made in house by a talented well travelled and experienced chef. Right down to the burger buns and sorbets.Rooms were clean tidy and warm, just what was expected.Breakfast in the morning was the best we’ve had for a while, all freshly cooked to order with good quality ingredients.Definitely worth a visit and make sure you stay for dinner.Will be returning for sure.Thanks again.

We had a lovely lunch at The White Hart Hotel today. We booked a table expecting Friday to be busy but, in fact, we were the only ones there so we had a private dining experience! Such a shame because the restaurant deserves to be busy. The food was excellent. We opted for scallops to start followed by the rack of lamb and the beef short rib. We finished off with a serving of chocolate mousse which was delicious. The chef deserves full marks as does our waiter who was very informative about the ingredients. Please visit, it’s worth it!

We stopped for lunch. Nice place but by door we just had constant traffic noise. Went to order a Ploughman's and Monkfish Scampi. Told both unavailable. Had King Prawns and Chickenburger. We waited an HOUR. Other people after us had ordered, eaten their meals and left. When the food turned up it was poor. Sweet dipping sauce had been poured over the prawns and salad. The whole thing was a sweet gooey mess. No salad with chickenburger. It was like McD's. Really disappointed. Worst meal of the year.

Fantastic restaurant in the heart of Modbury. The food was absolutely delicious. My wife was allergic to one element of her dish and the chef swapped it out without any fuss. We shared a sticky toffee pudding (one of the best I've ever had) and the chef plated it separately for us to make it easier to eat. Couldn't fault the cooking or the staff. Refreshing to see the bill doesn't come with a service charge already added, we tipped anyone because everything was so good! We will be going back.

Had the best Sunday lunch ever. Succulent tender beef, perfectly cooked tasty vegetables, lovely stuffing which I normally don't like, nice yorkies and delicious gravy. Service was excellent. Definitely worth coming back to.

Sensational as ever. Enjoyed dinner here last night with work colleagues and friends. We were all extremely well looked after and enjoyed every delicious mouthful. Between us we had scallops, tempura prawns, chalk stream trout and scotch egg (White Harts unique variation) I tried everything apart from the scotch egg and can’t decide which was the best - it was all fab - possibly if I had to choose it would be the juicy, fat, perfectly caramelised scallops - though its a hard call as the chalk stream trout was delicately cured and prawns crispy, crunchy and tasty. Main courses, I opted for the sea bass which again was cooked to perfection. My fellow diners enjoyed the fillet, lamb and pork tenderloin, all declared fabulous. For pudding we couldn’t choose, we didn’t want a whole pudding each so asked the chef/patron if he could create a little sharing platter - see picture - again delicious. Hugely talented chef complemented by a really lovely partner (wife) and friendly team who just know how to do hospitality and knock it out of the park every time.

Fabulous hotel. My room was immaculate. Breakfast was delicious. The owners are a very friendly and welcoming couple. Particularly enjoyed them joining in with our leg pulling cholesterol free egg gag haha. Thank you for a great stay during what was a very sombre trip.

The chef really loves creating delicious food.I'm sure you can tell from the first statement how good the food is.I had ribeye steak, triple cooked chips, asperagus with a very delicious gravy, gravy doesn't seem to as impressive as how it tastes. I asked the chef about the gravy, it takes around 72 hours to make, boiling down the bones, adding vegetables etc etc. I seem to have focused on the gravy, not that it was needed, as the steak was firm and tender, perfectly cooked, perfectly seasoned. Triple cooked chips, what can I say, they are triple cooked.My wife had a beef burger with pulled pork, with fries. I was allowed a little bit of the pulled pork - amazing. My wife said that it was all lovely.For dessert I had sticky toffee pudding - Mmm.I can't remember what my wife had, but I remember her saying it to was delicious.The full English breakfast with amazing.My wife had granola and fruit, followed by scrambled eggs on toast, it was all gone in moments it seemed, must have been good lol.If we were ever back in the area, we would make sure to go back.
Sunday lunch was absolutely delicious - first time we’ve visited and will look forward to coming again. Definitely recommend.

Fabulous little find. We stubbled across this having stayed at The Land Devon and wow- food was delicious - we had the scallops, king prawn and scotch egg all fantastic! and the service was great- the drinks were kept flowing! Thank you we had a lovely day ?

The White Heart although it has (for now) restricted opening times has no restrictions on serving high-quality food and drinks, much of which is locally sourced by the owner/chef and his team, including the rare, low-fat Salcombe Meat Co Dexter beef steaks.The result is fantastic food at a fair price and the best Risotto (with pea & wild garlic puree, bruleed goats cheese, aged parmesan, walnuts), I have ever had, and I am not just saying this, it was, the "veggie" option, but the addition of the goat's cheese in the middle was an amazing touch, and worked well, after a starter of field mushrooms.The restaurant has a nice clean, well laid out modern yet rural feel to it, with a jovial front of the house.Parking is plentiful in the public car park behind the White Heart - I will be going back, and I will be making this as soon as possible!! File under amazing....
