The White Hart Hotel

Staying here while playing in the town. A wonderful hotel with excellent facilities and the friendliest of welcomes. Lovely comfortable beds with good quality tea and coffee in the room. Breakfast was particularly good, with quality ingredients and thoroughly delicious. Run by lovely folk who couldn't have done enough for us.

2 brothers run this hotel now and they are both friendly and efficient. The Sunday lunch was excellent and the red house wine highly drinkable. The younger brother runs the bar whilst the older brother is the chef. I wish these guys the best of luck and great success in their venture.

Super room, very comfortable bed. Loved the details including bathrobes, mugs with white hart motif, fan, toiletries and a coffee machine! Staff and owner efficient, friendly and very welcoming. Fabulous breakfast and we had a great evening meal too. Obviously new owner doing an amazing job.

Food was excellent. The chef explained the menu and his specials - all local produce. The service was outstanding, and the food tasty, perfectly cooked and presented. The best meal we have had in ages and worth paying that little bit extra for the specials. I had fillet steak topped with lobster Thermidor and my husband had venison. This chef definitely knows his meat and how to cook it and is creatively paired with accompaniments.

So….last evening of a weeks trip to Bigbury on Sea. The weather has been superb. The sea beautiful and the family loved it all. Needed a close by place to eat. Looked at the White Hart on reviews and seemed ok. People, more than ok!! If you want local food, expertly cooked and professionally serviced then this is the place. Asked if we could bring the spaniel and they said no problem. In fact on arrival a blanket by the table was provided and a few dog biscuits too. Delicious!! (The dog said so). They didn’t have to do this but it shows another level of customer service. In the post pandemic world only the good restaurants will thrive and this is one that deserves to. Only one guy serving but was fast and competent and you never had to wait or ask for anything - he was there. Great service throughout. Three of us (not including the spaniel) had starters - fabulous black pudding scotch egg. If you’re new to this delicacy then this is the place to try it. Better half had garlic mushrooms in a great crispy coating and no1 daughter had the freshest scallops ever. Very, very good. Mains - great local lamb rump and the chef came out to recommend how it was best cooked. Not pretentious but a man who knows his local food. Local hake and chicken - both excellently done. Great desserts - chocolate mousse and sticky toffee pudding. Wine selection needs to be improved as I am hoping that this restaurant will generate lots of new visitors this Summer!! Discover The White Hart and it’s great food

My boyfriend and I booked a table at the White Hart as the reviews were so good…oh my it didn’t disappoint! We were greeted by a lovely and bubbly waitress who showed us to our table and then we ordered a lovely g n t and pint of beer…Hard to chose as the bar was so tastefully stocked!! This place is an absolute must if you are passing through modbury- we ordered fillet steaks as a special treat which were cooked to perfection; the chef even came out and poured over the treacle jus which was divine. We paired this with the bottle of Malbec which was perfect! We finished the meal with a free pudding - an offer the restaurant had- which was very very yummy!! A really wonderful experience- food, staff and decor was amazing! We will be returning.
