A PLACE WORTH KNOWING
A courtyard pub with centuries of character
A historic dining room, cosy corners and seasonal Devon food make the White Hart a natural finishing point for a Dartington wander.
The White Hart sits beside Dartington’s Great Hall, where old stone and a dramatic dining room give a pub lunch an unusually handsome setting. Today’s kitchen works with local suppliers, balancing familiar favourites with seasonal dishes. Come after a walk, make a Sunday roast the centre of the day, or settle into a quieter corner for a drink.
