The White Hart Hotel, Spilsby

02/10/2026

There’s definitely a nip in the air mornings & evenings now and suddenly a salad isn’t quite cutting it 😂🍂

We’re thinking proper winter warmers at The White Hart… homemade pie, sausage and mash, a lovely stew or a good old shepherd’s pie.

What’s the ONE meal you’d love to come in from the cold to? 👇🏼

The White Hart team will pick their favourite suggestion and put it on the specials menu for a week. Tell us what gets your vote!

Love, Maddie, mumma & the White Hart team 🫶🏼✨

🍒 CHERRY BAKEWELL MILKSHAKE 🍒

Okayyyy… Mum came up with this one and she’s absolutely smashed it 🤤😂

Cherry Bakewell in MILKSHAKE form and it is genuinely unreal! 🍒🥛

We’re testing new milkshake flavours pretty much every day at the minute, so keep your eyes peeled… 👀

I have a feeling this could get dangerous 😂🫶🏼

🍋🫐 BLUEBERRY & LEMON SCONES 🫐🍋

Freshly baked and served with lemon curd 🤤

Me and Mum have just done the very important job of taste testing one and OMG… absolutely unreal 😂😍

These definitely won’t last long!! 🏃🏼‍♀️💨

Love,
Maddie & Mum 🤍

BIG NEWS… Mumma’s coming to work 😂🫶🏼

After many, many years, my mum has finally sold her business in Nottingham 🎉 and selfishly… I could not be more excited 😂

She’s always been involved behind the scenes — helping me, listening to my 400 ideas a day, coming up with new ones of her own and generally keeping me on the straight and narrow 😇 But now she’s going to be around a lot more and getting properly involved with the business development side of the White Hart.

Taking on a business of this size has definitely been daunting at times. There are SO many moving parts, so many challenges and still so much we want to do here.

But having mumma beside me with a little more time to help means the absolute world, and I genuinely think we’re going to create something really special here. 🥹🤍

So… welcome to the madhouse, Maddies mum. Your retirement lasted approximately 0 days 😂🫶🏼

Exciting times ahead for the White Hart Hotel. 🤍

Love, Maddie ###

🤍🤍 SPILSBY… TELL US WHAT WE MISSED 🤍🤍

Someone was telling us all about the old cinema in Spilsby the other day and it got us thinking that, as relative newcomers, there must be loads of bits of old Spilsby we know absolutely nothing about. 😮

So… what was the one shop, café, pub or business in Spilsby that everyone loved and that you really wish was still here? ✨💐🩷

Was it somewhere on the High Street? Around the Market Place? Somewhere everybody seemed to know and use? 🏨🎦🏊🏻‍♀️🛼

We want names, memories and stories 😂

What was there, where was it, and what made it so very Spilsby?

Come on locals… educate us 🤍👇🏼🤍

🍰👶🏼 MUM’S DAY OFF 👶🏼🍰

Mums… do NOT cook tonight. We’ve got you 😂🙌🏼

It’s Wednesday, the cake cabinet is absolutely FULL, Tanya has made enough quiche to feed half of Spilsby, and we’ve decided you deserve an afternoon off 🤍

So 3pm–5pm TODAY ONLY:

👶🏼 Kids meals — just £5.00
✨ Quiche, chips & beans — £6.50
☕️ Any slice of cake + regular hot drink — £5.95

Bring the kids straight from school, get their tea sorted, grab yourself something to eat and — most importantly — have a massive slice of cake while somebody else does the cooking and washing up 😂👏🏼

No cooking. No dishes. Happy kids. Cake for Mum. Everyone wins. 😂🤍

TODAY • 3PM–5PM

Come and keep us company!

Love,
Maddie & the team 🤍 ###

🌸 Hey guys, happy Tuesday! 🌸

It’s technically my day off today… and Tanya’s too 😂 Yet somehow we’ve both ended up at the White Hart preparing a little buffet for this afternoon. Standard behaviour at this point 🤦🏼‍♀️😂

Once that’s sorted, I’m actually heading HOME to look after the animals while mum&dad pop out, and I fully intend on doing very little else besides getting cosy and watching my new fave programme, Beauty in Black. 😍📺

Josh is here though, along with lots of the lovely team, so you’re in very safe hands! ❤️ And the cake cabinet is currently ridiculously full, so please come and do us a favour and eat some of it. 🍰😂

And for everyone wondering after yesterday’s post… the mac & cheese with breaded chicken and hot honey was TO DIE FOR. 🤤🔥

Come say hi, grab some lunch, drink coffee and, most importantly, EAT CAKE.

Lots of love,
Maddie 🩷 ###

Guys, I asked Tanya if she could make me mac & cheese with breaded chicken and hot honey sauce…

Safe to say, she understood the assignment. 🤤🔥🍯

And yes… it tastes as good as it looks 😍

Maybe this needs to make an appearance on the menu?! 👀

Love, Maddie x

Happy Monday from The White Hart! 🤍

After yesterday’s half marathon, I can confirm my legs are absolutely COOKED 😂🏃🏼‍♀️ so today I’ll be doing significantly less running and significantly more cake eating. Seems fair. 🤷🏼‍♀️🍰

And luckily, we’ve got a LOT to choose from today 🤤

❤️ Red Velvet Tray Bake
🍫 Chocolate Meringues
🤎 Caramel-Filled Meringues — which honestly look UNBELIEVABLE
🍓 Fresh Fruit Tart
🥕 Carrot Cake
…plus loads more filling the cake cupboard!

Tanya’s busy cooking away in the kitchen 👩🏼‍🍳, I’m here attempting to walk normally 😂 and the rest of the team are around keeping everything running!

We’re here right through until 5pm today, so swing by, say hi, grab some lunch, coffee, cake or whatever takes your fancy 🥰

If all goes to plan, by 6pm I’ll be tucked up in bed and refusing to move 😂🛌

See you soon!

Lots of love,
Maddie & the team 🤍 ###

Well… no PB this time guys 😂🏃🏼‍♀️ BUT another half marathon DONE! 🥳

And honestly, I had the BEST time. 🫶🏼

The course was tough (apparently training on absolutely no hills whatsoever isn’t the greatest preparation for a hilly half marathon 😂🙃), but I got round, enjoyed it and crossed that finish line with a big smile on my face!

The support was absolutely endless too 🥹 Mum & Dad kept me going from mile 11 by phone… Liv, Kaitlin, Kati and my favourite little bestie Edley were at mile 4 and the finish line 🥰 and even Luke & gorgeous little baby Maeve were cheering me on from afar. Honestly, having everyone around me meant the absolute world. ❤️

2:05 on a tough course and now I’ve got a new mission… 👀

SUB 2 HOURS before the end of the year. 🏃🏼‍♀️💨
I’m coming for you 😂

And of course, all of these miles are leading up to the BIG one… London Marathon 2027! 🇬🇧🏅

I’ll be running London for the National Autistic Society, so if anyone would like to support my fundraising along the way, even £1 genuinely adds up and means so much. 💙

I’ve got a lottttt of miles between now and London, so I’ll keep doing the running if you lovely lot can help me make them count 🥹😂
