We have just had a meal there and were surprised somewhat at the evening. Firstly one of the waitresses was less than helpful and was not willing to get us some extra ice or let our 4 year old share some the of the 2 pizzas we had ordered for the 2 11 year olds we had in our party, whic was 7 in total, as everyone has to order a main meal. Whilst we understand this we felt it a bit 'jobsworth' considering there 7 of us. 2 of our 6 starters were disappointing and were something we could have easily done better at home. The steaks were great, if not a bit overpriced, but the vegetables were bland.The lemon sole was very good however the chicken was poor and uninspiring and again is something we could have done much better at home. We did complain (about the chicken only) politely to the waitress, and eventually one of our party was asked to go to the kitchen to discuss the issue and was basically insulted by the chef and the waitress denied all knowledge of the complaint. All in all the food was good however the customer service was poor and the way the complaint was dealt with was very poor. The bill came to £200 and if the complaint had been better dealt with we would go back. We were not asking for any money off or anything else, but wanted to give some feedback which to be honest the chef and his ego did not want to hear. I would love to see him on Ramsays Kitchen Nightmares! The Smith family

Went here for a beer today. The beer was great and the menu looks good although we didn't eat anything

Have been doing a price comparison of where it is cheapest to eat good food and fish and chips here are very reasonable

I have been here twice in the last year and it has been excellent. The food is certainly different to standard Indian restaurants and there is alot of choice. Pricing is very good and this is a popular restaurant. Very small point is that when very busy the service was a little slow but staff all very pleasant and polite and lovely atmosphere. We sat upstairs for a large party and it was brill

I had a meal at the White Hart on the 18 July, after reading up on the newly opened restaurant. The whole place is done out so nice and it has a really nice warm feeling. The wine list is very well balanced, then my party and I ordered food and from here onwards it was just dyer, the Steak was really over cooked, the chips where soggy, as for the Monkfish it was tasteless, mash was cold. All I can say is that how can you have such a good reputation for food when it is that bad. All is not lost as I have to say the staff where great. David

A really great Traditional Village Pub. The curved bar encourages visitors to speak to each other as we did - not many of these left. Really nice home cooked food, comfortable fire place area and several traditional pub games - crib, darts, boule, skittles, poker to pass a few hours. For children there is an outdoor play area. Lovely beer garden and also an outdoor covered dining area. Keeps good Ales and the wine list is interesting also.

Have eaten here twice and it is the best Indian meal we have had in a very long while. The decor is fabulous, the service excellent and the food is extremely tasty and good portions. I can totally recommended this dining experience.

This is the best curry house in Exmouth, without a doubt. The staff are helpful and friendly, but, above all, the food is excellent. I have tried the other places in Exmouth for a good, hot Madras. None of them close to the Ganges. The meat is cooked well, not hard and dry, the Nan bread is fresh, the rice is sweet. This place is my favourite.

Hi to all , dined at Fat Mama's on my U.K TRIP in 2007 , the best Burgers in England , i put on 5KG's in 3 days !! , Neil Baker , Victoria , Australia .

We have just eaten here. It was fantastic and all the staff were extremely friendly and very helpful when it came to discussing my food allergy. We would recommend this place to anyone.

i would only recommend to eat here if you don't feel hungry as the portions served are the meanest in the whole of the uk the excuse i was given for the tiny 16oz steak was because i asked for it to be well done it had shurnk so along with the 6 small chips and 3 tiny mushrooms 1 onion ring you leave very hungery when i told the waiter that this was only a snack . his responce was very good sir the chef is well known for his small portions.

Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this lovely old pub. Our (4) meals were hot, tasty and delicious.

Has to be the worst ever eating out experience. 90 minutes for the food to arrive and then burnt and inedible!! A further 30 mins. to replace it and still not good enough. A complaint to the manager/proprietor resulted in a full blown row where he sought to tell me, a customer, about the etiquette of complaining. Apart from the sea view there is NOTHING to commend this place whatsoever!!

Tucked away in a tranquil valley just a short distance from Woolacombe is an amazing place to eat; Trimstone Manor Hotel. It has a cosy bar and lounge and the restaurant itself looks out over rolling countryside. The menu is interesting and the food very tasty. After a day by the sea, this was a terrific place to relax and enjoy good food and ambiance. We were made most welcome and were not rushed so definitely a place to return to.

The best Indian I have visited so far.Wide selection of dishes from different regions of India(some of them I have never heard of).Each dish tastes different to the other and was full of subtle flavours.Very clean and modern interior.Professional and friendly staff.will visit again.Try it when in Paignton.

had heard various things about the food and rooms. Room was fantastic with very comfy bed and very clean. Wish the food was as good! Very disappointing restaurant, and prices on alcohol a bit much. Would advise staying but not eating.

Probably the worst meze it has ever been my misfortune to have served up to me. The main course dishes comprised one chicken wing, one chicken leg, two small kebabs and some Greek salad. When the waiter was asked where the rest was he replied that's it, what more do you expect.
