White Hart Inn and Restaurant

Dav

I had a meal at the White Hart on the 18 July, after reading up on the newly opened restaurant. The whole place is done out so nice and it has a really nice warm feeling. The wine list is very well balanced, then my party and I ordered food and from here onwards it was just dyer, the Steak was really over cooked, the chips where soggy, as for the Monkfish it was tasteless, mash was cold. All I can say is that how can you have such a good reputation for food when it is that bad. All is not lost as I have to say the staff where great. David

My wife and I dined here 6th June after reading an American couples very positive revue. The table setting and colour co-ordination in black and white is the first eye catcher. The menu is well balanced and has a good wine selection, the Santa Rita Merlot a particular favorite of mine. The starter and main courses are of ample proportions and the taste, I seldom have my toes curl up with food alone! Congratulations Chefs. The Service is courteous and runs smoothly. My only single drawback was a slightly tired cheesecake biscuit base, if that is the worst I can find, Hey Ho the Ritz it aint but on balance the evening was a huge success. I am slightly embarrassed for the nearby City of Plymouth that the little village of Modbury should have this little gem.

The White Hart Inn in Modbury was a surprise and a delight during our stay in Devon. We stumbled upon it by chance and loved it so much we ended up staying two days. The inn was recently taken over by very gracious hosts, Ruth and John. The rooms are very comfortable and of good value, but the inn really shines in its most excellent food and beverage. We ate there the first night just because we couldn’t be bothered to look elsewhere, and after the most excellent meal I have ever had in England (and one of the best we have had anywhere) we proceeded to eat every meal at the inn with every subsequent meal continuing to impress and delight us. Everything was fresh and regional, from the Devon goats milk cheese to our fresh-caught lemon sole (John is a fisherman … yes, they still do exist), to farm eggs and thick-cut bacon and handmade sausages, to hot out of the oven breads baked on the premises. The flavors were exceptional with fine attention to detail and well-crafted taste sensations. Might I add that the wine and champagnes available were also a pleasant surprise. Ruth has worked in many fine inns throughout England and really knows her wine and spirits. Take her advice on some pairings and you will not be disappointed. What more can I say — we loved it!

I have visited the White Heart three times for lunch. The set lunch is good value with good choice of wines. The guest is welcomed and the service throughout is warm and friendly. Anthony Maggs
