White Hart Inn in Cornwall, Isles of Scilly

Following the reviews on here & having just moved down to Calstock nearby three days before, we booked a table of six - one a birthday & three visitors down from Yorkshire. We even went over the evening before to check it out & decided it looked ideal - there was a fresh meat stand in one corner & lovely strains of presumably a local choir practicing folk songs wafting down from upstairs, great beer & we were shown the table we would have - all good. Turned up next night &, though the same barman was busy, nodded us through to our table & settled in. Just a few people drinking at the bar & no one eating at that stage. Got drinks in & looked at the menus. And then we waited, & waited. Two lovely young girls serving but in the end , after 15minutes we had to make a point of calling out to one to try & place our order. In the meantime the barman had come out to chat to a couple who had sat down to eat but did not come over to us. We were informed by the girl that we could not place an order yet as the kitchen had a large party to cook for upstairs & we’d have to wait till they were all done. Surprised, we enquired how long that would be. After checking, we were told half an hour… We were distinctly not impressed with this as at no point had we been warned that this might happen so after a further 15 minutes & drinks finished, we decided to cut our losses & leave. The large barman, who was the only person seemingly in charge, at no stage came over although he was obviously aware of our plight. Miraculously, when we got up to leave he disappeared completely & one of the young ladies was left to see us out. We expressed our complete disappointment with the whole situation & left. We felt extremely sorry that the girl had been left to carry the can & swore never to bother coming back., I cannot believe this is the same place as in the other reviews - apart from the lovely pub & excellent beer. A total disappointment. We ended up having an excellent Indian meal in Callington which thankfully salvaged the evening.

Visited by chance with my family on a very rainy afternoon and the pub was already quite busy. The staff were really friendly and accommodating with seating us and in dealing with food allergies for our food order. All of the food was outstanding and there was a nice friendly atmosphere in the bar. Highly recommended

The food was excellent the waitress was attentive very freindly food was cooked to perfection piping hot lovely crispy batter the fish was perfect young chef alex did a great job and head chef darren does amazing food very freindly highly reccomended

We enjoyed a friendly welcome and prompt service. The food was piping hot and delicious. Service attentive without being anywhere near overbearing Thoroughly recommended. Alan C

We had the Sunday Roast and it was amazing! So much so, we went back again and plan to visit for our final meal out on our holiday. Great vegetarian options for Sunday roast! Choc brownie annd choc cheesecake desserts were anmazing too! Even our fussy son ate all of his dinner! Dog friendly and friendly service! Really would recommend! Chef is a genius!

Very welcoming establishment. Went for our anniversary. We hadn’t booked so were taking a chance. The staff were very nice and the food was excellent. Good value for money.

We all agreed it was the best roast dinner we’ve had in a long while. Pork & beef so succulent it was falling apart. Good variety of fresh veg, sweet roast root veg, huge Yorkies and no skimping on the tasty gravy. Really good value too. Super homemade sticky toffee pudding with rum sauce and banana ice cream. Staff friendly, attentive & efficient. Booked again for next week!

Food was wonderful. All served piping hot and very fresh. Staff were really pleasant and very efficient, couldn’t do more for you. Really wonderful atmosphere. Would recommend and we will be back.

An absolute gem of a place, with probably the best food in the local area. A lovely authentic Pub, with a really great range of choices on the menu, all superbly cooked. The specials board was also impressive in its range of options. There was lots of seafood on offer when we went there, which suited us really well, but there are also your typical pub favourites. Astonishing value for money, excellent quality food at very reasonable prices. Definitely somewhere to go back multiple times and try and eat our way through the whole menu!

Been on my list to try and finally got here with my wife. Nestled away in a lovely quiet and rural location. Decent sized car park. Met with lovely staff and a proper, cosy pub, with welcoming and friendly locals. Great selection of Gins, ales, beers etc. We had the deep fried mozzarella for starter, the chicken burger and the New York burger with fries. All excellent quality and great portions, served by a nice lady. The bill was well reasonable for such quality, considering the G&T's were large ones. We both really enjoyed the whole experience and will most definitely return soon. Thank you all.

The food was great the servers were nice,friendly and the bartender that served me was funny 100% recommend to anyone if your in South West this is a must !! :).

We all had very enjoyable evening, the food was delicious and the waitress Georgia was very attentive. We will be back!!

Based on the reviews, we were looking forward to a good meal at the White Hart and were very disappointed. First we were told that our order could not be taken as the kitchen was backed up, even though we had a reservation. When we asked for the wine list we were told there was a choice of red or white (I appreciate that the pub is famous for it's beer but would have expected some selection of wine). When the food did come we complained that the prawns in the prawn cocktail appeared raw, being grey in colour and strong tasting. They were returned to the kitchen and we were told that the Chef said they were definitely not raw and if we didn't want them we would be charged for them anyway. Not a great start! The main dishes were disappointing and lacking flavour. Perhaps we had a bad night as all the recent reviews were so good, but I would certainly not return.

Just visited this pub after reading reviews. Only realised on arrival it was "manic Monday"" and all meals on the admittedly small menu were just£5!! Yes a FIVER!! Expecting small portions we were astounded to be presented with totally adequate meals. Fish and chips with lovely crunchy batter and fabulous chips, ham egg and chips with TWO eggs and tender ham sliced 1/4 inch thick, all day breakfast filling the plate all served by pleasant staff. We are only in Cornwall on holiday but highly recommend anyone to visit this wonderful old fashioned pub. Keep up the good work White Hart.

Brilliant meals, great selection. Excellent puds best cheesecake, Will definitely be back, highly recommended and sensible prices. thank you.

Had a delicious roast beef with tons of veg, including cauliflower cheese. Yorkshire pud and lots of delicious gravy. Good service and excellent price . The back of the white hart has spectacular views which I wish I had taken a photo of that and my roast ! Would highly recommend .

Visited here a few years ago and since is under new management/new chef. Booked a table and found it quite busy with people eating or the locals enjoying a drink. A central hub within the community and lovely to see the pub being used by the locals. The menu has a good selection along with a specials board, enough options to cater for all tastes. Staff friendly and helpful. The food is simply delicious, good portion sizes and everything cooked to perfection. Could not fault anything and the fish was excellent. Prices are good and with the quality of produce, there shouldn't be any complaints. The views are stunning, delicious food, good ales, visit, you shouldn't be disappointed.

Went out to try the food at the white hart.. All I can say is. Fantastic in every way. Presentation was brilliant, it was very hot, the portions were massive, finally the quality was second.to none. Compliments to the the chief Darren. We are already planning our next visit.

We ate here a few days ago. We were a group of 5 and all ordered different dishes. The food was lovely. I had the bangers and mash and the portion was large, the sausages very delicious and the red wine gravy superb. My son had the fish and chips, he loved it and the portion was huge so he was happy. I'll be back in th UK in September so will definitely return.

The steak burger/deli burger is amazing, the best burger I’ve had in Cornwall I’ve been To alot of puds/restaurant and really recommend this one

An amazing roast, the type mumma used to make! Full of flavour, cauliflower cheese was amazing and the toasties were lovely and crispy but fluffy in the middle.

This is one of our favourite local pubs for a drink - decent ales on tap, a friendly atmosphere, and stunning views over the Tamar Valley. We've been here 3 times to eat. Firstly for Sunday lunch. Huge portions (even a small portion), generally good food though not a fan of their giant roast potatoes. Good service. Weekday lunches... We love the food, but both times we were overcharged. The first time, I brought it to the barman's attention and he said the price was correct. It was only when I pushed for a receipt and a copy of the menu that he accepted the issue and said there was a mistake on the menu, and he refunded the extra. The second time it happened we were in a rush and I didn't realise until after we had left. I don't know if it's an issue with their till or menu (there was a couple of months between our visits so it wasn't rectified), or whether they're adding a service charge. Either way, it has left a slightly uncomfortable feeling, even though it feels petty over a matter of a few quid. We'd go there again (and have been in since for drinks), but with a close eye on the final bill. Shame, as we love the place and it's definitely worth a visit.

Went for Sunday lunch. Only one other couple. Roast beef like leather. We were here a year ago and the place was packed. What a shame.

Whilst holidaying in Cornwall we had the good fortune to go to the white hart pub. Wednesday 28th September. Didnt book, just walked in on the off chance. We couldn't believe how busy it was for a mid week. I asked the waitress if they where doing food? She told me that the chef had called in sick and she would ask the landlady who was cooking if she could. Luckily she came back and said yes."Its going to be a bit of a wait but yes." I come from a little village in East Sussex called Rotherfield, when i was young the local pub, The George was the focal point of the village. Im not kidding, it was like being back there in The White Hart. The landlord Ian was so friendly, we where chatting with the locals like we where one of them. The food was delicious, a log fire blasting. All I can say is I wish I lived there!! It's like stepping back in time where people go out and socialise. Well done Ian and Katy you've cracked it. All the best Dave the plasterer.

Where do we begin with our praise for what Ian, Katy & their staff are doing with this beautiful, rural pub. Having found ourselves staying in Chilsworthy by accident it ended up being the best thing that had happened. Situated in the heart of the village, what these fantastic people are doing for their community deserves more acclaim than I can write here. We turned up with our son, Josh... his girlfriend Ella... our two dogs, and didn't know a soul. We were welcomed with open arms and chatted to as if we'd been locals for years. Ian & Katy are your perfect hosts, and despite being hit with every hurdle possible during the last few years, have 100% put their lives up for their village. The pup is beautiful, the views stunning, atmosphere incredible.... and after one week we leave with the hosts now friends. A must visit to anyone coming down this way. You will not be disappointed. Darren & Rachael

Booked before we went as we were a group of 8 including 2 children. As it was Sunday we had mainly Sunday roasts, a couple had the vegetarian pie, the children had pizza and a small roast. The portions were huge, the vegetables kept coming and coming. You definitely wouldn't go home hungry after eating, it was delicious. Its a bit of the beaten track down some narrow lanes but it's well worth the drive for the views while you eat. We'll definitely visit again if we are in the area.

Absolutely fantastic food. Even on the restricted menu because the chef was on his own, you can tell the quality of the food really matters. In the top 3 best pub/restaurants I have been to, easily. Mains were excellent and the deserts were beyond delicious. Parking is available, but make sure your clutch is good - it’s a steep entrance! We will definitely be back, to try that Ocean Pie!

Very impressed. Great food. Good atmosphere. Amazing views. Excellent value for money. First visit but will definitely return.

It is a common occurrence to research places to go, trust in virtual recommendations and put your eggs in an unknown basket of experience when on holiday and following this exact adventure, The White Hart Inn… did not disappoint. From the service to the food and atmosphere to the attention to detail in signage, humour and even toiletries in the ladies, it is very clear to why this pub has been (and should be again) pub of the year. Highly recommend to anyone who likes a good local, with amazing food and good staff. What more could you ask for!

One of us had beef, another pork and finally ocean pie, what a brilliant meal more than enough, perfectly cooked brilliantly served, nice beer and wine maximum enjoyment was had by all, reasonable price as well, lovely mmm

Clearly this little pub continues to be popular. We arrived a little late which was totally our fault but I did phone twice to let them know. Not a particularly good welcome this time and a long wait for food. However, when the food arrived it was very good. Perhaps the pub needed more staff but I know how very tricky that issue is everywhere at the moment. The bottom line is will we return? Yes....we will return

Visited Saturday lunchtime, quite quiet, friendly meet and greet from all staff, initial impression was that interior looked tired and the outside decking needed smartening, stunning setting Varied menu, we ate an excellent steak pie and lamb moussaka, which were both v tasty and huge portions (too big?), vegies undercooked and looked unappetizing, good pint of Uley IPA. So overall, main meals v good, friendly staff, lovely setting

We both booked in for the Sunday lunch and chose the roast lamb. We were not disappointed it was fantastic. Lean meat and a great vegetable selection. The gravy was out of this world. Adrian the head chef was very attentive and helpful as also a waiter . He made a special effort on the mint sauce.! Will definitely visit again and recommend this pub for the food.

Visited with friends for Sunday lunch in a large party. Had to wait a little while for the food but when it came it arrived all at once and was very tasty and hot. Only had one waitress serving us all but she was friendly and hard working. The views out the back are lovely. Would definitely recommend this place. This was our 2nd visit and I look forward to going again.

After reading so many great reviews it was a bit of a disappointing experience. Don’t get me wrong, the food was excellent. When we eventually got it! We waited an hour and a half!!! Ordered at 8.00 was eating at 9.30. We had to ask twice for our food. Not really acceptable and I felt guilty when I complained. The pub was very busy and has no covid measures which worried me as I am still being cautious. Wont be visitIng again on a Friday night, it is far too busy and food service is extremely slow.

Visited on the 29/9/21 a real proper pub a pub from yesteryear,lovely setting food was wonderful and staff very welcoming.would highly recommend this place for drinks and food .

First visit for 4 of us. Starters of seafood bisque with warm crusty bread devilled kidneys & pate, good portion sizes, really tasty and nicely presented. Mains ocean pie the best I’ve tasted, packed full of fresh tasting fish and large scallops. Pork stroganoff and...

My wife, father and 2 friends and I had a lovely meal this evening. The fish chowder, balmoral chicken and moussaka were really good. Thoroughly recommended!

Lovely village pub with friendly staff and a great selection of draught beers. Amazing views of the Tamar Valley from the rear terrace. We ate there twice during our stay in Chilsworthy, fabulous meals both times. Booking in advance advisable.

Superb meal, very well kept local ales, friendly service and amazing views. A hidden gem, well worth a visit. Portions are big, so go hungry and you'll not be disappointed.

Lovely inside and stunning views outside. Excellent friendly staff and welcoming regulars. Great selection of beers and great, well priced food. Going to ask the landlord / landlady to adopt me.

Have to say we were pleasantly surprised with our first visit. Warm welcome, pleasant surroundings and magnificent view. Food was first class. I had fish pie and hubby had the specials board steak. Both were very tasty and plenty of. Will be going again very...

A warm & friendly welcome from the landlady. Good choice of dishes catering for all requirements. A specials board available. The best mussels I have had for a long time! A rustic, homely pub with excellent food.

Meal for 5 last night. Great to see the pub so busy. Food great as ever and from what is a nice ranging menu. if in any doubt have pie of the day, always fab. well done Amy, Ian and all the staff.

Said that when restrictions ended we would find the pub on one of our trips out of the county, sadly the welcome was not good,beer was great, but did not find the landlady Very welcoming. Such a shame lovely pub, great location.😡

Had dinner with friends. I had a gluten free chicken pie made for me by the chef. It was ginormous. Full of chicken with a very tasty creamy sauce. All my friends had pie. We all had a great meal and mine was the best...

First time at the White Hart The staff were lovely , helpful and the view brilliant Food was great ! Thank you

We had a cottage in Chilsworth for a week's holiday just 2 minutes from The White Hart so we found ourselves there every day and ate there most days as the food is delicious (thank you Adrian). We were immediately made very welcome by Amy,...

Like many, we became aware of this pub through the tv . It is a traditional pub situated in a beautiful location. Friendly welcome, and as advertised, good pub grub. We enjoyed our evening, and will return if in the area.

We booked for 6pm because of having grandchildren with us. The welcome was friendly and good considering that the pub was already quite busy. We were given plenty of time to settle and order drinks, which arrived pretty promptly. The food was all cooked to...

Lovely to be back following our first visit on the 12 December last and as this wonderful business continues to survive a further extension of neurotic government fiat and lockdown hysteria. No nonsense Amy leading from the front and today met their talented chef. Absolutely...

This is how pubs ought to be - great food and drink, great atmosphere and, above all, very welcomng and friendly landlady & staff. We watched Tom Kerridge's programme & made a pilgimage to the Waite Hart, not disappointed. Highly recommended.

Quaint pub with a lovely atmosphere. Food was beautiful and we had a seat by the terrace which had fantastic views. Was rather busy but the staff were friendly and attentive nonetheless.

We’ve just had a great lunch, friendly and helpful staff and truly great food. One of our party had to leave early with an upset toddler before they could eat and they were great with us taking that meal home. Couldn’t have been more helpful. A lovely pub in a lovely setting and we look forward to returning!

What an absolute joy it was to spend an evening at The White Hart. Fantastic food, great views from the terrace and a wonderful atmosphere. Amy and her team create the warmest, most welcoming atmosphere. If you find yourself in this neck of the woods check it out for an authentic British country pub experience.

Just returned from a delicious lunch at this lovely pub tucked away in the Tamar valley with superb views. Very friendly welcome, and well kept ales. The menu was significantly more interesting than normal pub fare and our food wasthe best we’ve had in a pub for a long time. The seafood linguine was superb with perfectly cooked prawns, scallops and mussels in a delicious sauce and my wife had a plentiful portion of mussels, again perfectly cooked in a tasty mariniere sauce.The cheesecake we had for dessert was equally good. Glad that the White Hart is only a 10 min drive from home as we will certainly be back

You couldn’t get a better pub - friendly service, even friendlier locals and delicious food. We’re so glad we found this place on our trip.

What a fab pub and location with brilliant views. Problem choosing what to have so had to go back a second time. Mussels, sole, monkfish curry, kidneys and pies all delicious. Only downside was the vegetables were over cooked and too much. The salad that came with the sole was lovely but not needed. Will be visiting again.

Having eaten here pre-covid we were excited to be able to visit this amazing pub once more. The renovation has made this pub truly incredible we just cannot say enough good things about the "new look". Menu was interesting with a good variety and reasonably priced.The food was lovely we had seafood linguine and rib eye steak both cooked to perfection, followed by rum chocolate mouse.Our only criticism is the portion sizes were for us just a little on the large side. Our local is less than a 5 minute walk, The white Hart is worth the 30 minute walk down the hill and even worth the walk back up.We shall definitely be returning.And as always Harry made the visit all the more enjoyable with his free entertainment, he is the most adorable doggo.A huge thank you and we'll done to all involed

Superb, this is our second visit and it was better than ever. Service excellent, land lady and chef very friendly and caring. Will be back soon.

Wonderful takeway,the vegetable curry was delicious, good value, beautifully presented and a warm welcome when I arrived, cant wait until my next meal!

As a couple, we booked a meal at The White Hart after recently purchasing a holiday lodge at the nearby Honicombe Manor Park in St Ann’s Chapel. On arrival, with our nuts spaniel, we found the front door and were welcomed with warm theoretical arms. Following covid safety guidelines etc, we tapped in and were shown to our table. A cosy 2 seater at the back in the corner- just perfect. We tucked the dog away for a snooze and ordered. Great selections of ales and gins, which arrived quickly. The menu sounded so tasty that we took our time ordering, and went for a starter each of the local River Fowey mussels and the bruschetta. The mussels were to die for. Simply the freshest and tastiest mussels we’ve had- they are a must!! Bruschetta was flavoursome, and just what I needed. Mains we had the ribeye steak, which was cooked to perfection and the Spinach pie. All of which, tasted unreal. It was genuinely one of the tastiest pub meals we’ve had. Whoever the chef was, hats off to them. Definitely not your standard pub grub at all, another level. The atmosphere was friendly, welcoming and both the gent & lady (sorry for the lack of names!) were lovely. Harry our pooch wasn’t just tolerated either, but welcomed as much as we were. With our new holiday home, we’ll be recommending our guests to head out to the White Hart and will be regulars for sure on our visits. It was dark, but the tiered garden at the back looked exciting, so we’ll be wandering over in the Summer for that too! Thanks for a lovely evening, and keep up the great work. Covid or no covid- this is the place to be.

As locals and regulars at the White Hart we must again record our appreciation of this brilliant warm and friendly local pub. Whilst running a 'tight ship' in terms of Corvid safety, Ian and Amy have managed, despite the restrictions, to provide a wonderfully relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. The wood fire, seasonal decorations friendly clientele and ambiance mean you never want to leave.! As always, last night's meals were exceptional, the best ever fish pie and inventive vegetarian option were superb, Head chef Adrian and his team have taken good pub food to a new 'fine dining' level. Well done to all at the White Hart.A and M

in the Tom Kerridge documentary "Saving Britain's Pubs." Awards galore. A truly wonderful and traditional village pub run by the lovely team Amy and Ian. Superb food. Generous portions and very reasonably priced. Three local real ales. Doggy friendly as you would expect. A little shop off the bar area selling local produce. May you prosper mightily and see off these difficult times of The Bug. It's not the virus destroying businesses and livelihoods it's the neurotic response.

A warm and friendly pub, great atmosphere, typical 'front room' Cornish pub, much modified. Good variety on the menu including decent veggie choices. We had three different main courses between us and they were all excellent. Friendly helpful service. Very reasonable prices. All in all highly recommended. My only caveat for non locals is make sure you know where you are going!

We booked this pub for lunch with friends as a pre Christmas catch up. We saw it featured in the Saving pubs programme and we needed to find somewhere half way as a rendezvous. This seemed like a good bet and we are keen to support local businesses. The pub is pretty much in the middle of no where. Lovely views although the weather wasn't particularly kind on the day. Warm friendly welcome and for a Wednesday lunch time was quite busy. It's quite a traditional, rustic looking pub. Drinks were served promptly. Menu quite extensive with a definite home style to it. We ordered the venison chilli, chicken curry and beef pie. There was quite a long wait for the food to come but we had plenty to chat about so that was not an issue for us. We all felt the food was good. Very genius portions and nicely cooked. My beef pie was out of this world, such tender meat, great mash, veg a touch overcooked for me but all in all we were impressed. If you want a friendly country pub with great views and a decent meal you won't be disappointed.

All the boxes ticked, great food, well kept beer, warm and friendly atmosphere, great view, dopey pub dog ♥️ The steak pie was chock-full of good quality meat and gravy, and three different veg gets a thumbs up from me.

Best pub for miles around ! Off the beaten track but well worth finding. Food is great and not expensive. Service is fantastic and very friendly. Amy does a great job running around looking after everybody. Make sure you call ahead and make a reservation, as not many covers and Tom and the BBC put this gem in the spot light.

This is our local pub of choice even before it became famous on TV.This place is fantastic, the food is fantastic the service is fantastic, the cider is fantastic the value for money is fantastic, the views are fantastic and Amy and Ian are fantastic. Are you beginning to get my drift? Need we say more?Just go and indulge your self. Visit the white hart chilsworthy

We had lunch at the White Hart today and thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience. This lovely pub has bags of character, being welcoming and cozy. The lovely open fire was very welcoming on a cold day! Staff are attentive and on the ball. And the views are spectacular, down the Tamar valley from on high. And last but not least the food. Delicious, plentiful, freshly cooked using excellent ingredients. The beef pie, home made, is awesome. Very tasty, tender chunks of beef in a light pastry. And the Ocean pie is very generously crammed with chunks of various fish under a lovely creamy mash. And desserts did not disappoint.The White Hart is a ‘must go to’ pub for all good reasons.

We have previously had an amazing Sunday lunch at the White Hart which is local to us, before the current COVID restrictions and our Friday night take away from them did not disappoint! My wife had the Hungarian goulash with potatoes au gratin and I had a steak, mushroom and pepper stroganoff with saffron rice. I also brought a 4 pint flagon to be filled with one of the pub’s ales. My stroganoff was deliciously creamy with nicely cooked peppers and generous pieces of steak. The rice was fluffy and complemented the meal beautifully. The goulash came with some amazing huge but light dumplings like fantastic islands in the goulash which had a real depth of flavour. The publicans are doing their best in these difficult times for the hospitality industry and are exceeding expectations with their home cooked menu. The only downside was that due to the current restrictions we could it admire the beautiful Tamar valley views form the pub while we are. I look forward to returning when they open properly again as with such dedication, the future can only be bright for Amy and the team. Well done! Incidentally, their experiences leading up to and into the pandemic were also featured in the recent BBC series ‘Tom Kerridge - Saving Britain’s Pubs’.

We’re down here in Gunnislake for a week’s R&R, and we found this gem of a pub after a bracing walk up the hill from our digs. Because of COVID-19, we should have booked, but turned up just for a drink, which turned into a Sunday lunch. The staff could not have been more accommodating and found the two of us (plus dog) a table for lunch. Truly excellent service, great wine and beer (the Mayflower is wonderfully “hoppy”), and the food is all that great pub food should be. I can recommend the roast lamb, and my wife really enjoyed the haggis-stuffed chicken. Sadly, the new Lockdown has just been announced but, when it’s all over, try to visit this pub - you’ll not regret it.

We visited the pub three times during our stay at The Linney late September. We actually cancelled pre holiday restaurant bookings to support the local, as we were so impressed. The owners have obviously worked so very hard to promote their pub , supporting the local community, providing a very welcoming pub even during these testing times, and sourcing great food and a superb chef. We could not fault the food, or indeed anything. Keep up the fab work!

Just had a drink at lunch time and pub was so good came back for the evening. Drinks were great food was super and the service and friendlyness were even better. Can’t rate this pub highly enough. If you get the chance go there you will not be disappointed. Proper pub A+

Stayed here as a Brit Stop overnight. The landlord could not have been more helpful getting us parked up with an electric hook up. Very friendly welcome which carried on into everything that they did in the evening.The food was fantastic. Really varied and tasty menu by a chef who has been there since August. Reasonable prices. Will be eating here again when we come down again.Just a lovely place tucked off beaten track.

A very warm welcome from all the staff. Five friends enjoyed an excellent meal. Superb menu choice with beautiful views of Tamar Valley, dog friendly. A perfect afternoon.

Lovely staff and great food. Really helpful with our little teething baby, food was excellent. Well worth a visit!

The White Hart is such an amazing pub. As soon as you enter the pub you feel welcome. You are greeted with very friendly staff and an amazing atmosphere. Even during these difficult times the Landlady and Landlord, Amy and Ian have created an excellent place to eat and drink. A good selection of real ales and lagers plus a very good food menu, all served to a great standatd. No wonder the pub has won Cornwall CAMERA pub of the year two years running, 2019 / 2020.Well done to the The White Hart Team for a wonderful visit. Highly recommended.

We've visited this pub twice in the last month and on both occasions had excellent food and service, the range of real ales is well kept and the staff are only too happy to explain its origins. Given our visit was during the Covid 19 restrictions we felt that the staff were doing everything they could to keep us safe while maintaining a good atmosphere. Many thanks for two excellent visits.

Absolutely fantastic food, not your bog standard menu. Very warm welcome from staff and locals. The food was top notch, sooo tasty and beautifully presented. Well worth a visit

From the moment the pub comes into view you know it’s going to be good. View being the apt word, we were lucky enough to visit while we still had the daylight. Stunning views overlooking for miles into the countryside. Once inside I found myself in a very well laid out and cosy pub. Now sat down I realised how busy you guys were and for good reason. There’s a great atmosphere, superb drinks and food. But most of all me and my family commented on that it was all seemingly being managed by one lady who was so good at her job I wish I could pay her wages in my local back home! Absolute diamond woman. Food wise I choose the soup for starter which happened to be tomato and crab bisk that day. Overall it was good and I mean no offence but the tomato portion of the soup tasted a little bit like shop brought. The other stater I saw was the muscles which tasted great and looked fresh. For mains it was a tough choice, so many options but in the end I had the fish and chips. (The fish being Hake if memory serves) this dish was amazing, great great great food. I especially appreciated the chips that were unlike those typical thick pub oven/fried chips. I think you can tell a good kitchen by those chips and you guys nailed it. My one tiny critique is that I wasn’t a massive fan of the tikka type curry sauce. I personally prefer the more chip shop garam masala kind and my wife felt the same with hers. But I was glad to see it was served with a sauce like that at all. I also tried the suet stake and kidney pie which was outstanding. I wanted to choose it but I really don’t like kidney but the suet pie, steak and gravely tasted outstanding. I know it’s traditional but for me I’d just have smaller kidney pieces and/or less of it, but that’s me.I wish we had room for dessert but the main meals were so generously sized I couldn’t even think about foot the next day. If I were to visit Cornwall again I would love to come back to this great pub, more than a pub really it’s an experience. I hope your locals support you well and people come far and wide to enjoy your amazing establishment.

Relatively easy to find village pub (signposted from the Callington to Gunnislake road), and what a find it turned out to be!!. Cornwall CAMRA pub of the year 2019 & 2020, the beers were excellent and interesting breweries too.The pub does very good food, is child-friendly, has car parking, and also has a beer garden. while you are there, check out the outstandingly beautiful views over the River Tamar!!!!The staff are very friendly and well-organised re Covid, and provided an excellent service.The pub, which has strong community links, also hosts the village shop, and I cannot think of too many pubs that not only have a (very friendly) pub dog, but also have a pub tortoise!I will definitely go back!!

Really gorgeous meal. Lamb and kidney pie for me and steak and ale for my hubby. Great location, great staff. So glad its my 'local'.

We have eaten at The White Harte a few times since lockdown restrictions have eased. Each time we have been totally bowled over by the wonderful service and delicious food, really generous portions and beautiful setting. I cannot wait to try out the Sunday lunch menu!!

Over the last month, like a lot of people we have had a lot of pub lunches.. the best by far was yesterday at the White Hart at Chilsworthy.. there were six of us, three had the "fish and chips" the fish was beer battered hake and served with mushy peas and curry sauce.. the fish was really good and the chips the best we have had anywhere..one of us had the Cornish Yarg and onion pie with potatoes and salad.. very nice indeed..and two of us had the local river mussels, moules mariniere, served with crusty bread and a portion of chips.. possibly the best mussels we have ever had.. really, the food here is beyond top gastro pub quality.. to go with all of this there is a great unusual range of ales ..Seriously, the White Hart gets our top spot in pub dining in the area.. and we have tried everywhere..Fantastic food, great value, and the staff were really friendly too.. defo 5 stars!!

Bank Holiday lunch. Freindly and welcoming pub (CAMRA cornish pub 2020 and well deserved). The menu is quite varied for a traditional pub and goes well beyond the standard burgers etc. There are some classics but also a nice variety of local produce, cooked fresh. On our table we had 2 x duck breasts in a blackberry sauce, fish and chips, yarg pie, sea food pasta and, of course, the mussels. Everything was fresh and vibrant. The local mussels were simply amazing; sweet tender, cooked to perfection, and a great big serving. They came with chips and bread but I really needed an entire baguette to soak up the deliciously creamy sauce. Apparently this us a popular dish and it is clear why. We cleared the plates enthusiastically, thought about dessert, but really did not have the space. And don't forget this is a really nice pub with great beer, and fantastic views.

First time I've eaten here but it wont be the last. We had everything - Good company, friendly welcome, good service and amazing food. I can say hand on heart the Hungarian Goulash was to die for. The steak fell apart in the mouth,the sauce was sooo tasty and the potatoes sprinkled with cheese were a real treat. Only one of our party was disappointed and that was my husband who after finishing his trio of sausages, realised there was nothing left on my plate for him to finish!! A lovely evening all round. Thank you all. X
