Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

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.More

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.More

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.More

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.

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.More

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!More

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!More

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 returnMore

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.

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.

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.More
