White Hart in Exeter - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Popped in for a drink with my dog yesterday and it was great. Really friendly.

We had slight difficulty on checking in as we asked to change rooms but Louise was really helpful and we were made comfortable and given a free drink while we waited. Conveniently located with a cheap car park and easy access to the city. The Cathedral is a few minutes walk away. We'll be going back.

The white hart is mow my favourite pub to visit in Exeter and I will definitely be back :)

Such good value for money. Its really close to the Quayside and the City center (5 minute walk to either). The parking is only £5 and the rooms are clean and have been really nicely updated recently. The staff were brilliant really quick and helpful and the breakfast was delicious. Cant fault it and i would have expected a much larger bill for the service we received. I've stayed a few times and its been great every time

Came in for food, had a 30% off voucher and it was great. Can't fault a thing. Pub has alot of character an staff are friendly

Great pie Monday. Really nice food. Friendly service. Everything you want from a pub meal

Excellent service very friendly staff and very welcoming. Our food was lovely excellent value for money. Would definitely be visiting again.

Great atmosphere! had a team building dinner here and the staff were very understanding and accommodating

Another great visit to this lovely pub,a definite place to go if you're in town

Loved the friendliness of staff and duty managers Loved the history of the place, but sad that it wasn't reflected in our functional but comfy room. Your beds were very comfy and although we could have done with a chest of drawers, the wardrobe was fine for our 2 night stay. You kindly provided us with a chair on request. Apart from the fire alarm going off at 2.10am, we slept well. We enjoyed our breakfasts and the evening meal we had. You are fantastic value for a town centre hotel. Good value parking too. Enjoyed our stay so much, we have already booked again for November for 3 nights. Thank you Brian & Kayleigh ( hope I've spelled your names ok).

It's a lovely place to stay, central location, good breakfast, nice staff, secret garden.

I have just recently moved to Exeter and my friend and I came to check out the White Hart. We walked in past the barmaid and stood waiting for at least 5 minutes. Other people arrived. When the barmaid deigned to serve she shouted from the till end of the bar 'whose next please '. When I said we were first she stood at the opposite end to us and shouted what did we want. Her whole manner was rude and unprofessional. She had long blind hair and a terrible attitude. Such a shame because I love the style if the pub

The staff were very friendly, great cocktails, the secret garden is a lovely place to spend time

Such a great olde pub. So much character, lots of rooms and nooks to sit in and good selection of drinks. Worth a visit.

Friendly staff, great beers, lovely food awesome beer garden.

Came here for a work meeting. The function room was a good size and perfect for work meetings. The food was great and the host was accommodating. Recomend this place for food/drinks and anything work gathering related :)

Popped in for a beer and a bite to eat whilst visiting some old friends in Exeter. Beautiful and extremely clean pub, cracking pint of moretti. You can definitely tell the pub is well cared for. Bryan and his team were fantastic and very accommodating. Was also nice to see several dogs around, it's always nice to see a dog friendly pub. Will definitely return when I'm next back in Exeter 😊

Lovely pub the food was nice Kayleigh and Bryan were very warm and welcoming with a nice atmosphere

Great place, amazing atmosphere, lovely staff

Went with my partner. The food was amazing and the staff were very polite and helpful 5/5 deffo be going again

Love this place, food is really good, decent prices too!

Lovely atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended.

I have been a few times over the past few weeks , I work near by , so pop in for food and drinks after work , it really seems to have got better and better , the service has been second to none , always looked after and seen to quickly and efficiently, the manager (I think his name is Bryan? ) is an asset to the business, we see him looking after everyone and making sure that we, and everyone else, are happy and have what we need , we will continue to visit, as it really does make a difference to have such a lovely team looking after us.

Love the place, friendly, good management.

Went there for a special celebration with the family, Very disappointed with all aspects of our visit , didn't enjoy any part of it . Won't be going back.

Weather was too unpredictable to sit in the courtyard as we would do normally but plenty of space inside for the 5 of us. Friendly and attentive bar staff a big plus as was the food. Only negative would be only one hand pull beer on.

We had two lovely meals which were served quickly & efficiently. Our only gripe was we were too late to order dessert 10 minutes after 9. We ate at about 8p.m no one came to check if we were OK or clear the plates, we probably would have ordered dessert sooner had this have happened. This is in no way meant as a complaint & we will definately eat at the White Heart again. Thank you.

This hasn't quite gotten back to the place it used to be for food. Staff are pleasant and helpful, and the place is full of character, pity about the food.

Lovely atmosphere everytime I go to the white hart, the food is hot and well presented. Team fantastic

An enjoyable meal, with a Marston30% discount on our way down to St. Austell. Pay car park, this Is deducted off the main meal. Nice outside eating area if it's a nice day.

Nice place. Lots of rooms so that there are different spaces and atmospheres for whatever you're in the pub for. Mozzarella bites are great.

The food was lovely and the bar maid sally was super friendly and helpful

Another lovely meal and made to feel very welcome by Gabriel. He was very attentive and friendly

Was a little disappointed when we arrived for our booking to be told you had a power cut across the city and then had to go and get cash. Came back with cash. Sat down to order a drink to find out we could of just ordered on the app. So no need for cash. But went to bar and ordered food to use up cash. Sat for 40 minutes waiting for food. When your serving staff asked us what we had ordered. She then went to check at bar. Our order was taken. But because it was placed at same time someone was remotely updating system our order never made it to kitchen. So she apologised and went straight to kitchen. So further 15 min wait. I think manager came over and again said sorry and offered us a free drink. Which we excepted. When the food arrived the manager came over again and said to see him at the end for a refund on food. However we didn't go to bar after meal. As both myself and partner were happy with the apologise from both staff and the free drink. Plus the food was good when it arrived. Overall I think the staff did an amazing job all things considered and I felt they really cared about their customers We will be back again for food in the future. Thanks

Well worth a visit to this restaurant.

We were welcomed by a friendly bar tender who looked after us well. Food was delicious

Really enjoyed the food, overall atmosphere was really pleasant. Waitress was attentive to our needs and very friendly.

Building was beautiful, staff were amazing helpful, cleanliness was perfect. Few minor repair issues but nothing serious .. I do think marston's should invest more money into this hotel as it has a lot potential. I spoke with management and housekeeping staff, bar staff.. All of which, well informed and helpful... I loved the place, used to visit the bar when I lived in exeter... I'm aware that some peoples opinions may not be as favorable for the white hart but the world is also full of over sensative Karen's. I love my stay, it's staff, it's food everything and I was professional chef for 25 years who was near impossible to please.

Staff very helpful and friendly

easy atmosphere lovely food - perfect service will definitely be back and looking to stay next time as this place was perfect and very reasonably priced and very close to the city centre

Katie was really good and understanding - the food was perfect and all plates cleared as a result - no issues food served in a timely manner and very reasonably priced

Fantastic service. Fantastic food. Could not recommend this place more.

Lunch for 7 ladies on a recent Saturday. We made use of the 30% off main courses offer. Sally kindly seated us in the bar on the Hotel Reception side of the Hotel, which was a pleasant change. She also took our order at the table (usually we have to order at the bar). The food & service was good & we all enjoyed our meal & drinks. I would just ask for the bar to stock a zero apple cider. Apparently zero beer is available, so why discriminate against cider drinkers? I note you offer a good range of alcoholic ciders.......Despite this, we will be back. Thank you! 😊

Went for a meeting and stayed in hotel, service was great the rooms were very good standard and food was good with a reasonable price point will definitely visit again

Absolutely brilliant, food great service excellent fully recommended! Beautiful pub

Food and service good. But we were charged £13.75 for a meal package advertised in writing as £12.75. When we queried this, we were told that the price had gone up "in the last day or so". Sorry, but that is not good enough.

Have been a regular at The White Hart since meeting a tinder date here at the end of 2023. Although the date was a bit rogue, Sally was super great, lovely and service was spot on. Infact, I thank Sally for the success of my tinder date as her absolute spot on chat made my conversation with said date partially more manageable.. I have continued to come back to The White Hart purely because when I walk though the door, Sally knows exactly what I want before I do! This girl needs a raise! And an invite to the wedding!

Attended a private function (March 2024). The function room and adjoining dining room were just the thing for us. Our experience was enhanced by the great service from the team. Thank you Tom, Sally and Maisie; not forgetting Gemma who is the most hard working Manager/Receptionist and Host I’ve known. Well done all 👏🏻👍🏻

Great service by Sally. Warm and friendly.

I came in last minute with my daughter for an evening meal. Our waitress Sally was amazing and nothing was too much trouble. Will defo be popping in again with the rest of the family 😀

Eaten here on a few occasions and always had a nice meal served by friendly team The atmosphere is relaxed, the ambience is gentle and the history is beautiful

Came in for a roast and it was amazing. Andy and Matt are amazing cooks and will definitely be back again

Great food, great service and an amazing atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back

Brilliant pub Brilliant food. Went with 14 others, all meals arrived at the same time.

The manager at this wonderful old inn runs a tight ship. From the moment I arrived I felt well look after by all the staff, with attention to detail with regards to my room and breakfast. If you love historical buildings with traditional service with mod cons I can highly recommend The White Hart.

Pub was relatively quiet so service was very good. Food was verey good

A unique and old pub and hotel near Exeter city center and convenient to the Quay Car park. Food is of a high standard fo a chain type establishment

Lovely place with friendly staff. Great food too!! My partner and I pop in regularly for the atmosphere, yummy meals (at good prices), and even have made use of the function rooms. Definitely would recommend!!

Great hotel and pub, really helpful staff

Lovely place to meet and host events. Friendly staff, very helpful, good food and clean. Pub side is very atmospheric, proper pub decor! Highly recommend!

Had a lovely evening with friends, great food and lovely staff. Thank you very much Louise nothing was to much trouble

Great Saturday night meal. We were served by Connor and Mazie who were both really friendly and attentive. Felt really welcome and had a great meal. I thought the food was really good value. Will definitely visit again!

Great experience great service kind and welcoming 5*

We loved the hotel and had an extremely good deal. The room was un the old part and could have been better but for the price it was worth it. Fascinating place, staff very helpful, good food and fair prices. A great weekend.

Good pub with nice simple food Drinks reasonably priced Pool table Just nice in general We will visit again :)

I stayed on 14th and liked it so much I returned for another night last night, 19th February. Very welcoming, efficient and friendly staff and, despite the furniture and furnishings being tired in the comparatively modern extensions and additions to the original Olde Worlde building, I wouldn't rush to do it up. Well, of course, a refurbishment would be great but the place charmed me as it is. It's excellent value for money, especially compared with others in Exeter (I've stayed at them all over the last few years). At The White Hart Inn, the beds are comfy, with quality bedding, copious hot water, powerful shower and deep bath (depending on your room). They serve good food - generous portions - and there's a well-stocked bar, with a range of lagers and beer from the cask. The ambience is old meets new but 'Cosy and homely' sums it all up. I look forward to a regular stop-over. In addition, the location is perfect for exploring all Exeter has to offer, Cathedral and The Close, some of the best retail therapy all nearby and you can walk down to Exeter Quay, just 10 minutes away, to take a leisurely walk, power-walk, run, kayak, canoe, or cycle alongside Haven Banks, River Exe / Exeter Ship Canal south to Double Locks or further to The Turf. What a great place! Highly recommended!

No staff, left waiting 40 minutes for a peppercorn sauce with a steak that was tougher than a beer mat, waited a further 50 minute for it to be replaced in the meantime everyone else had eaten, no one checked on us we had to find someine. We where give a free drink and 10% off the bill which was a joke as we where overcharged

This was our 3d visit. Unfortunately this time the service was unpleasant, my gammon was burnt, it was very dry. My wine was different to what I asked for. When the waitress brought our cutlery there were no serviettes. We were also given your Sunday menu. Overall we don't want to return to this place ever again.

Good service one mistake was quickly resolved but a staff member was moaning at one member of staff about the mistake then complaing to another made the visit uncomfortable but apart from that was a lovely place good food

Had a lovely meal on Valentines night, we had the madras, and Paula and Gemma made our evening. They are both very friendly. Thank you we hadn't been out for a while and I have always loved the White Hart 10 out 10 from us xx

Attended an engagement party in one of the private function rooms. The room was amazing. It had lots of character, space, and was perfect for the occasion. The buffet food was lovely and there was plenty of it. The bar staff were friendly and very accommodating.

I booked this hotel for two weeks, inspired my the amazing history. First time i walked through the main entrance, i was impressed -so very pretty and quiaint! Exactly what i had hoped for. My room was clean, smelled fresh and well aired. It was warm and bed was comfy. Nights were quiet and undisturbed. Staff was very kind and pleasant. Im am going to book again

Nice hotel. Friendly service and lovely food. Definitely recommend. Great service from gage, nice guy.

Stayed a week here for work and honestly the staff were all friendly and awesome room was OK and food was good would definitely stay here again

Sally was absolutely amazing!! Thank you x

Consistently brilliant - warm friendly service and drinks at a great price too. Stunning historical pub, immaculately clean. Highly recommended.

Food is amazing. Lovely pub with great atmosphere and friendly staff. Cowboy Burger was top drawer. The manager Gemma very swiftly resolved an issue with a car park ticket afterwards with fantastic service. Thank you 😊

Attended a party at the white hart, it was a great space with lots of character and decorated beautifully. We had a great night and the food was lovely and there was plenty of it!

We used the meeting room it was clean and well organised and the food was great

Gemma arranged a Christmas gathering for a group of friends. She went above and beyond to ensure we had a great evening. Food, service and drinks were perfect. Thankyou, will definitely book again x

Great afternoon spent having a few drinks. Sally at the bar was fantastic. Couldn't recommend the white hart enough!

Visited pub and stayed at hotel, service was fab and rooms were spot on, we have a meal there too and the food was great.

Food was lovely service was amazing Gemma and her team looked after us from start till finish will definitely be back

Amazing food and experience, extremely happy to be back at the white hart and the team there looked after us amazingly.

I tried to book rooms and checked website only to be given the wrong phone number for the hotel. When I did find the correct phone number on whatpub and rang the hotel nobody could be bothered to answer so our group of 5 found another hotel which was glad to have our booking. White Hart reception claimes to be staffed 24/7.

Nice hotel .staff friendly.perfect location .room was a little to warm.shower curtain was stained.

We stayed for 4 nights over the Xmas period, and couldn't have been made to feel more welcome. The staff and meals were exxellent and went above and beyond.

A unique and old pub and hotel near Exeter city center and convenient to the Quay Car park. Food is of a high standard fo a chain type establishment

Christmas lunch was lovely and service was great.

Fitted us in at very short notice on a very busy Saturday evening service. Good food came hot and was enjoyed by us all. Knocked the cost of parking, in their carpark off the food. Very happy will visit again.

I booked for a Christmas lunch for 7 elderly ladies. At the time of booking I paid a £35 deposit (£% per person) and I checked with the young lady who took my booking if anyone was unwell on the day as to whether we would have to pay for the meal She advised me that we would not, but that they would lose their deposit, which is totally acceptable. Unfortunately on the day one of our number, a lady in her 80's was unwell and unable to come. Contrary to the original information given to me I was told as we did not cancel the day before we would have to pay for the meal, I obviously did not want to distress the lady concerned so the rest of us clubbed together and paid for her meal. I really think this was very mean minded of the company and would make me think twice before booking with you again. The food itself was good although everyone who had the broccoli said that it was hard and undercooked. The Service was good and food was served up with no great delays.

Our table was in the hotel side. Very easy ordering drinks and meals. Great food and very quick service. They are always so friendly and excellent service.

Once again thank you all for a lovely stay. Merry Christmas and Happy New year. See you again.

Great stay nice room, good food & beer. Most importantly friendly helpful staff. Would stay again next time in town. Recommended

The service was quick, good and efficient . We were a party of 4 .we ordered different meals. They all arrived together promptly . We all cleared our plates and enjoyed our food. Thank you. Jane

Not a place I would recommend or go to again the only decent thing was the waitress in the breakfast room and the breakfast everything else was a disaster

Stumbled across this lovely pub... lovely and warm.. Great location.. and food was so tasty.. Will definitely be back

Very disappointed, room unclean , twin room as away with friend, one bed not fit for purpose , mattress sunk in the middle due to missing slats, threadbare curtains and generally not clean . Only alternative when we complained was a single room meaning we were separated and we had come away as friends together, no offer of a refund , refund of breakfast or parking just nothing!!

Happy friendly staff, great service, lovely food

Had a lovely meal in the bar area and was served by Sally. She was so warm and welcoming and had a good knowledge of the ciders you sell! Will definitely return. Thank you.
