Breakfast served between 8am-11am, with a new lunchtime menu recently introduced. Thai food in the evening. In addition to the rear outdoor area there are tables on the Market Square in front of the pub in warmer months (on days when there is no town market) making more of a cafe culture. Accommodation is available with four affordable rooms. HISTORY - The White Hart dates back to the late 1600's and along with the Royal Oak is probably one of the oldest pubs still trading in St Ives.
