White Hart Hotel in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

We were looking for somewhere to go for a meal with friends and chose this hostelry on the recommendation of a Mancunian holidaymaker. This pub is just like pubs should be, a fine selection of beers/spirits and good food. The barman was very friendly and we felt quite comfortable with the locals. All four of us had the burger, which was very nice. The onion rings were delicious and the homemade coleslaw was also spectacular. My only criticism, and I am ridiculously fussy, was the chips. The burger came with seasoned fries, which I asked to swap for chunky chips as the seasoning isn't for me. The chunky chips came covered in seasoning!!! Not the end of the world, I scraped off as much as I could, but they should have been advertised as seasoned chunky chips. Nobody asked us if we had any allergies either, which is standard practice when you go out to eat these days. But, this is minor, the food was great and we will definitely return.

Called in, on spec, for Sunday lunch yesterday. Great food, nicely cooked and presented and good portion sizes. Friendly efficient staff. Would thoroughly recommend. Will come again, if ever in the area again (maybe in 5 years!!)

Reserved some tables and had a fantastic dinner with all my family, I recommend this pub.

Food average but beef burger just 2 frozen patties that tasted like defrosted patties and worth bypassing. Well worth bypassing. But service excellent.

Didn't stay at this as a filter but had some food which was lovely. Very busy when we were there with the local who was all friendly and helpful. We will be popping in more now that my daughter has moved closer to this lovely village . Thank you to all the friendly locals.

Lovely village pub, staying locally so went on recommendation, good atmosphere lots of locals and good food, would visit again if in the area.

We ate here twice while on holiday in the area. Food was good and staff were friendly and the dog was welcome too.

Visited twice for an off-season weekend - amazing to have somewhere that serves food all day (currently 5 days a week from 12 until 8) in a quiet Cornish village where options for hot food are limited. I'm here on a solo break, and I have been made to feel so genuinely welcome by staff (and locals have been kind too). The menu is very unpretentious and includes excellent pizzas. In these days of celebrity chefs (I live in another part of Cornwall), the White Hart is a real breath of fresh air. Really so grateful to the staff, a massive thank you!

We had supper here recently and couldn't help noticing that this was a traditional English pub. It appeared that many locals called in here for a quick pint on their way home from work. The atmosphere was dry friendly if a little noisy. My wife had s lasagne which she said was OK but I had a pizza which was excellent. The portions were very generous. All in all, a pleasant experience

We booked for Sunday lunch today and the whole experience did not disappoint. Lovely bar staff, friendly locals, very reasonable prices and the most enormous delicious roast. We had beef and pork. The largest light yorkies ever. Crispy roast potatoes. A dish of fresh veg to share and lots of gravy. A good honest pub and food to beyond our expectations. Next time we're over this way, we wouldn't hesitate to visit. Thanks to all.

We have even at the White Hart twice during half term. This is a really friendly pub with decent locals, fab staff, good food and fair prices. We felt welcome and will return in the summer.

We visited this pub several times during our holiday. From the first visit, we were made very welcome, and felt as though we were in our own local! After one visit, we were greeted with enthusiasm each time, and staff remembered what we drank. We ate some excellent food there, including a truly delicious Sunday roast. We would not hesitate to come back to this lovely traditional pub.

We were in Cornwall for a few days and decided to go out to dinner. We had passed this pub earlier so decided to give it a go. Thank goodness we did we had the most amazing food hubby started with the mussels which he said we fantastic and the flavouring was spot on. I had the garlic mushrooms which melted in my mouth. I then had the chilli nachos which when they came out I thought I’ll never eat that but I did my best you just had to keep going back for more and hubby had the Cajun chicken on noodles which was lovely tender chicken with a nice heat of the spices. We then finished with a sticky toffee pudding and ice cream for me and honeycombe cheesecake and ice cream for hubby. We both left feeling fat and full. It was a great night with great friendly staff and the food was absolutely gorgeous. To top it all off we have come back for lunch today it was that good.

we has a very disappointing meal. Mine looked good but when I was half way through the oil the pasta and chicken had been cooked in was all there .. the cream that was used to cook the meal slowly mixed into it ... tasted awful .. I left the bottom half. The bar staff who collected the plate was about to ask if I enjoyed my meal and on viewing my plate decided not to ask

Lovely food here, really nice and with welcoming staff. Just what the doctor ordered after a long ride. Delighted with my brief stop here and would advise as a good break on your travels

We have eaten here three times over the last two weeks. Each time we were greeted with a super friendly staff. The food was delicious, and the desert was superb.

Came here first on a wet night looking for food. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Enjoyed a good meal and came back twice more so we could eat and watch the footie - we were allocated our 'regular' table and staff were attentive to food and drink and could not have been more helpful. Would recommend this for pub grub and great staff.

Visited here a couple of times. Food was good but a wider choice would have been nice with more fish considering its location near the sea. Service was good and people friendly. Beer was good Cornish ales which changed regularly. Gluten free options and dogs welcomed. In the summer booking to set inside is probably going to be required.

Called in for drinks 'on spec'. Found a nice picnic table on the porch and enjoyed our drinks. The waitress was very accommodating, even though we decide at the last minute not to eat (as the menu was very limited). Overall a good experience!

Would not recommend this place two hours to serve food and served locals before us when they ordered after us Did not serve local beers Went to three tuns 50yds away they are in a different league so much better

We were staying nearby for the weekend and stumbled upon this little gem at lunchtime. The food was great home cooked pub grub and lovely local ales. Everyone was very friendly including the locals Would definitely recommend

Staying locally we called into the White Hart to eat on a couple of evenings and were very impressed with what we found. Excellent menu with a good variety of options meaning that anyone could find something to eat. Prices were reasonable and portions were good as well and you can also take away as well - which we did one night with a dessert. Note they also do takeaway options as well and we saw a few people come in to order and take away to show that it is popular.Very friendly staff and a nice atmosphere where visitors felt welcomed as opposed to it being just a 'locals' pub.Noted that they had a very good Sunday roast menu which offered more choice than the Three Tuns did which was good to see. If we had known of this then possibly would have eaten here on the Sunday as well.Highly recommend here for a variety of meals and selection of beers as well

Visited this pub for a few nights while diving locally and we ate, drank a couple of pints and played pool. Nice beer, really nice food and 50p for a game of pool- loved it

Disappointed they didn’t stock local lagers/beers Limited menu not much choice Friendly staff Family friendly

Always being told that we should go to the 3 Tuns and always been disappointed. This place was freshly painted, we could reserve a table and the staff were friendly and welcoming. The menu was good (especially for the veggies) and although nothing really stunning was all homecooked and good value.

Been here lots of times over the years, so as we were in the area decided to pay another visit the quiz was on so quite a few people had a good night our food was not to bad may have been what we chose because other meals coming out looked good, not much choice didn,t seem as good as in the past would still go again.

Pubs in this quaint village have had their good times and bad, and we've not used the White Hart for a number of years after it's competitor The Three Tuns changed hands and gained a good reputation for food. A reversal seems to be in the offing however, after having several extortionately priced and increasingly smaller meals in The Three Tuns, we decided to try The White Hart again, and were more than pleasantly surprised with what we found. Simply tasty, well prepared, notch above pub grub......food. Plus A beautiful pint of real ale to go with. If you happen on the quiz night however, you are in for a real laugh.

We stopped off here on a quiet and wet Monday lunchtime for a drink and some bar food. The pub was quiet with only a few other customers but it was a Monday. The lady behind the bar was very friendly and helpful and I had a couple of pints of Dartmoor Brewery Jail Ale which was very well kept and an excellent pint. Would definitely return.

We visited here whilst on holiday in the area, we did go there for food on the night of the football which was on the big screen. The pub is a typical country pub with a good vibe. The menu was fairly basic and the food I had was decidedly average. However, it did the job and we had a good meal for a fair price.

We were on holiday in St Keverne and it was my daughters birthday So we decided to book a table at the White heart.We were seated around a large round table by the fire placeI had a pint of the local ale that’s was beautiful Even though food service is at the bar we were given excellent table service The food was freshly cooked and to a high standard My burger was lovely with the onion rings on topThe experience was excellent and we would highly recommend the white heart

While staying in Coverack with the grown up family we decided to make the short trip to St Keverne. The White Hart Inn was recommended as a place with good food. 6 of us booked for an evening meal. The staff were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The locals were extremely friendly and made us feel at home. The service was excellent and the food was second to none. The White Hart being dog friendly was also something good as we had the dog with us. And finally great beer. Thanks for a pleasant evening.

We had a drink in the White Hart before moving on to dinner elsewhere so didn't get chance to sample the food but the beer was great and it's a lovely pub. I did notice someone eating pizza which looked great.

Visited as a big group, and we all drifted in over 30 to 40 minutes. We took over the room at the side. The kitchen staff coped wonderfully and service was very quick and food very tasty. Good beer as well. Great atmosphere with friendly staff and customers who made us feel very welcome. All a local village pub should be. Will return next year.

Chilli pasta was very nice but vegetarian option was very bland. Lovely place though and very friendly staff and customers.

My partner and I came to stay in St Keverne and came across this lovely little pub. The staff are friendly and welcoming, nothing is too much trouble! The pub itself is delightful with lots of traditional fixtures. The food is super yummy and at good prices. We've been in there twice so far in 2 days...

Me and my partner stayed in St Keverne about a minute walk from the White Hart, so we visited a couple of times for a couple of drinks and something to eat. On both occasions the food was really good and very reasonably priced for the size of the portions you're getting, daily specials board and a good main menu. Staff are very friendly and the pub has a very warm and friendly atmosphere, definitely should recommend to anyone in the area and will definitely return next time we're in the area

One of two pubs in this delightful country village it is a typical old country pub. We tried both lunch and evening dinner in it and found both menus to be small but featuring local produce. A very good specials board compliments the basic menus. Very polite and friendly staff. Free WiFi.

We visited this pub whilst camping in the area. This is a great pub, the food was delicious, reasonably priced and the service was quite quick. The only problem was that the Chicken Tikka included mushrooms (and my friend hates mushrooms, but that is personal preference).

I booked myself a table last minute and the lady on the phone was very pleasant. When i arrived with my dog i was welcomed and shown my table. The bar man was lovely and my food was delicious! Proper traditional pub grub at a good price. Thank you :)

This pub is what a village pub should be, it has not been prettified or made into plastic imitation of the sort you see far too often.

Can't rate this pub enough lovely friendly staff as well as the locals.We just dropped in for dinner I had smoked mackerel pate and my partner had crab cakes both of which were delicious and well presented the staff were helpful and couldn't do enough to make our eating experience a good one,I then had steak and Guinness pie and my partner had scampi and chips both of which were again well presented and lovely yet again the staff were very attentive. They had a quiz night on this particular night and we were encouraged to join in with the locals it was a very enjoyable evening .

Visited this pub whilst in the area and the staff are very friendly. It was very busy so would recommend booking a table. Our big and greedy dog was always in the way of people but the staff were very welcoming of him. The main food was delicious but could tell the deserts weren't freshly prepared. Great atmosphere and good wifi. Would also recommend getting there early for the limited parking.

Friendly staff, good food, very accommodating and the final bill was pleasing too - make sure to check the specials board ;)

Very welcoming pub Came here as we wanted to stay local to our B and B in the next village and boy, they came up trumps Extensive menu with plenty of vegetarian choices Gorgeous, tasty food and friendly staff and not expensive either

Ate a family evening meal here during our recent holiday in the area. Was impressed with the attitude of the staff and the quality of the food. Service was a little slow but they were busy and we were in no hurry. If there is a negative it is that they missed part of the order and I had to wait for my fish when all others in the party had theirs but I didn't wait long. Overall a nice experience and would go back there.

The this is just wonderful from the minute you step inside your made to feel right at home,we had dinner here which was beautiful great service,staff are very warm and welcoming nothing was too much for them fantastic highly recommend it

We popped in here purely by chance on a recent trip to the area. We were greeted by a very happy landlord who explained what food was on and poured me a pint of doom! Always makes me like a pub a little more when they sell doombar.

Honest country pub friendly staff good food and great ale reasonable prices been visiting for last four years and already booked our next two hoidays on the lizard so will return again

I really can't say enough good things about this pub, the food was cooked to perfection and the staff were friendly & welcoming. We will definitely be visiting again.

We had a meal at the White Hart whilst we were staying at St Kerverne on holiday which was enjoyable and nicely served. However, the batter on my wife's cod was, she felt, a bit too thick and soggy.

We popped in here to ask for local knowledge of buses/taxis. The bar man,..and local were very polite and helpfully. Along with a few others, kept us entertained with a lovely cool pint of thatchers gold.

We ate here a couple of times on our recent trip to the area, on one night it happened to be quiz night so we joined in & came a close second, that night we didn't get around to having desert, next time I made sure I had desert as I'd noticed mango ice-cream cheesecake on the menu & I wasn't disappointed.

My wife and I visited the White Hart following a long journey down from the Midlands. I tucked into fish and chips, my wife enjoyed lasagne. We got exactly what we needed - good pub grub! Tasty meals served in a nice environment. The only catch, it was just after 5 on a Friday and we found it to be rather busy with locals celebrating the end of the week. Not a complaint, just something to consider!

A gem of a place, delicious food and a good selection of ales. We visited as a group, and the girls also went on another evening. Can't really fault it - great food and service.

We ate here on two nights from the extensive specials menu, featuring local meat and seafood and found it very good indeed, particularly the monkfish.

We visited in July 2016 first night we just had drinks but the next day we had a meal I was waiting to order when the land

This pub is local to me and I frequent it regularly.

We've eaten lunch here a few times. Good value and good quality. If you're just expecting good pub meals this place is good.

Friendly welcome and good pub food, if a little expensive. Portions could be bigger but no complaints really. We had the seafood selection for the starter and steak and fish and chips for main.

Very unfriendly atmosphere - building looks very large but the bar is small with little or no natural light & on entering, we were stared at quite uncomfortably. Beer garden is well kept & probably the best option.

A typical village pub full of locals run by a friendly family. It's small but welcoming. The food is freshly prepared high quality local produce and if good pub grub is what you're looking for you won't be disappointed.

quaint country pub, food very good, staff very helpful and friendly. recommend a drive to Coverack as a pretty little fishing village.

Excellent food , visited twice , both occasions superb choice, excellent service from both bar and kitchen staff. Highly recommend in the area.

we entered the pub late on a Friday night, around 9pm, hoping to find somewhere to get a half-decent bite to eat. What we stumbled across was a fantastic local pub with a great atmosphere and bar staff willing to go the extra mile. There was no tables obviously available when we turned up but they managed to move some regulars around to ensure we had somewhere to eat. The food was very reasonably priced as were the drinks. The house curry was fantastic, and I'm advised that the gammon was also very nice. The portion sizes were very generous, and despite being advised that there would be a long wait, the food came quickly. The selection of beers, ciders and ales on offer was impressive as well. Pub with great food, lovely bar staff, darts board and a pool table: absolutely spot on.

I would go out of my way to have another of those Sunday roasts.... was so much food and deliciously hot on a cold rainy day.

In need of lunch, we thought we'd give this a try. Didn't expect much, but very pleasantly surprised - it was quite good! I normally avoid pubs with Sky Sports banners, as I prefer to eat my meal in peace, but this was perfectly OK.

We were in St.Keverne for seven nights, and ate here on six of them. The food was excellent, beautifully presented, and very reasonably priced. We were only sorry that we couldn't have stayed here but they were full on the dates we wanted! Would recommend this without hesitation. Also, the staff were very pleasant.

We were staying in St Keverne in a cottage and had lunch here on arrival. We had a Bacon & Brie Baguette and a Prawn Baguette both of which were excellent. We booked for dinner the next night and were not disappointed. The monkfish was excellent. This looks like a pub but the food is not pub grub. Would recommend.

A lovely pub, in a beautiful part of the lizard. Friendly welcoming staff, a good selection of beers and spirits. A good selection of food on the menu, my wife had the monkfish which she very much enjoyed and perfectly cooked, I had the cod in batter, which again was cooked perfectly. We did not stay at the pub, however it would make a delightful, quiet place to stay and explore the Lizard.

We came across the White Hart Hotel whilst on holiday in Porthallow, and our only regret is that we didn't discover it sooner. The food and service are second to none, and it is very reasonably priced. There is a good choice of dishes - all of which are beautifully cooked and presented. The portion sizes are brilliant and we all came away feeling happily full. We will definitely be eating here again on our next visit to the area and would highly recommend it.

Sehr gutes, deftiges und dennoch preiswerts Essen. Hatte hier den besten Fisch meiner Reise. ( Im Nachbarort mehr als doppelt so teuer!). Gute einheimische Biere. Nicht zuvergessen den Unterhaltungswert der Quiznight. Man kann hier auch relativ preiswert (Was ist in Cornwall noch preiswert? ) übernachten.

As a party of 14 we ate in the White Hart twice over a long weekend diving trip - we found staff very good and all orders were accurately delivered - the food was good although one or two items were overcooked (crab cakes dissapointingly so) - overall the group were happy that we had eaten two pretty good meals for a good price

Friendly pub with great food disliked source pack that were difficult to open. Good choice of beers and ciders. Pool table, dog friendly

Nice little pub with friendly staff, good basic pub grub. It was busy every evening which says a lot. Pretty gardens and lots of outside seating.

Nice country pub, full of locals, lots of fish being eaten, but alas the veggie options were the usual. Veg curry, lasagne etc. I went for the curry which had very little veg in it and the sauce tasted like a shop bought one, very watery. I added some chips which were a very small portion for £3 I felt. It came with a popadum and chutney, the popadum glistened with oil. It could have been an off night but I'm not so sure. The service and the staff were good though. I feel in this day and age where more and more people are choosing the veggie option, businesses really need to up their game a bit.

Stayed here for 2 nights in a double room which was at the back of the pub in an out building. It had a vaulted ceiling, stone floor and en- suite. Was nice that we didn't have 2 go thru pub to get out. Had everything we needed. Only had breakfast here. Was really nice would have been better if they didn't deep fry the sausages and a choice to have brown toast would have been nice using better quality bread. Lady that did the brekkie was lovely. Room was lovely but more attention to cleaning wouldn't go a miss. Lots of dust in the rafters you could see while lying in bed. Corners of the bathroom needed attention. Overall room was clean. Had 2 lovely nights sleep in a huge comfy bed. Very quiet village. Had a wonderful stay. Little flaws but would Def book again :)

We stayed just outside the village but walked in three nights to eat at the White Hart and partake of the excellent Doom Bar beer. We had a variety of choices, mainly from the excellent specials board. Fresh fish (monkfish on samphire and whole place) and great burgers. Food was very good and quickly served. The staff were very friendly.

Typisches englisches Pub mit ordentlichem Essen und sehr englischer Atmosphäre. Treffpunkt der Einheimischen zum Feierabenddrink des kleinen Örtchens St. Keverne.

We only popped in for a pint but was welcomed with a smile, nice selection of drinks, plenty of seating a free cloud wifi. Seating outside .

Arrived shortly before end of service - but that was no problem. My burger and her fish were tasty, fairly priced, and served with a smile.

After a week in Helford - swimming in the sea, kayaking, biking, relaxing etc. we decided to end our holiday with a meal out. We chose the White Hart on the basis of comments in the visitors' book at our cottage, and it didn't disappoint. The White Hart is a typical old country pub in a small village, serving several real ales (including one or two local).
