Dining Experiences

The White Hart Inn offers a 30-seat dining restaurant with views overlooking the River Severn and serves wholesome British dining with a fancy flare. Regular Taster Menu events present a seven-course experience featuring seasonal and locally sourced ingredients, while the wine list includes 38 selections predominantly from old-world vineyards. Guests can enjoy a mid-week value Supper Menu for those evenings when cooking at home isn't appealing.

Unique Location

The hotel is located on the 'Wharfage' along the River Severn, ensuring scenic views and easy access to the Ironbridge, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Local attractions, including the Victorian-themed museums operated by the Ironbridge Gorge Museum Trust, are in proximity. Guests can explore picturesque villages and wooded valleys that have emerged around the historical Gorge.

a mixed stay

unsafe path locked premises
the breakfast offered a satisfactory start to the day.
The premises showed signs of wear, certainly not what i EXPECTED. i was surprised to find myself essentially locked in during certain hours, ostensibly for security reasons. access when the building was locked required navigating a poorly lit and unsafe path. This is UNACCEPTABLE.

dated bathroom damp smell
the room felt quite dated. the bathroom needed some serious attention with fixtures falling off. it also had a strong damp smell that was pretty hard to ignore for the duration of my stay. i suspect the staff knew about it already
