Food and drink at Whitehouse

• Hotel restaurant

  The chef clearly has a fondness for sharing, producing a terrific array of grazing‑perfect goodies served on hefty wooden boards – the star turns are cured meats, local cheeses and artisan breads. There’s a daily changing menu of fresh seafood and local meat, served in the airy barn‑style dining area.

• Dress code Casual but groomed; Alice Temperley with your favourite denim.
• Top table Secure a spot by the window overlooking the gardens. Better still, sit outside on the terrace (weather permitting).
• Last orders Dinner comes to a natural halt around 10pm, but there’s no hard and fast attitude to opening hours. The bar’s open late, usually until around 2am.
• Room service As well as the restaurant menu (available during kitchen opening hours), a selection of comfort foods such as pasta, sandwiches or Marmite on toast can be brought to your room between 11am and 11pm.
• Hotel bar

  The Whitehouse bar has a cosy living room, with shelves stuffed with travel books, a large chocolate‑brown sofa and a fireside snug. It’s un‑Devonishly buzzy at weekends, with a different house cocktail mixed up every day.
