🚇 Rectory Road
🍺 £5.25 Amstel
❤️ An historic big old N16 boozer.
.
The White Hart is situated amongst a mix of cafes, bars and independent shops on bustling Stoke Newington High Street. The nearest station is Rectory Road Overground which is a five minute walk away.
.
There has been a pub on this site since the mid 17th century. The current building was built by Charringtons in the 1851, check out those beautiful glazed Victorian tiles.
.
This is big old high ceilinged boozer, it has a large main bar plus a snug complete with working fireplace. At the centre of everything is a cheery horseshoe shaped servery. At the rear of the pub is a good size beer garden which is a popular spot with the N16 locals. The decor here is a rustic affair, there is an eclectic assortment of tables and chairs, 70’s print wallpaper plus exposed brickwork. There are a few screens dotted about which show live sport and a nice addition is the pinball machine of which I am a fan.
.
The beer line up was pretty good and had a bit of something for everyone. I’d been on the Amstel all day so I stuck with that, my pint was decent and reasonably priced at just over a fiver. There is a simple pub grub menu available, Fish & Chips costs £14. On Sundays you can get a roast here, a Chicken roast costs £17.
.
We arrived just after 3pm as we continued our St Patrick’s Day crawl around Stoke Newington. The pub was quiet, maybe this was due to the lack of diddly diddly going on as in other close by boozers. We were served by a lively fella who I presume was the Guv’nor, nice fella, very chatty. This pub has quiz nights on a Wednesday, shows live sport and there is an upstairs room for hire to arrange a celebration.
.
This pub receives mixed reviews, from what I have read these vary from the grass is too long in the garden to someone was whistling on a Tuesday, Hipsters eh. I really enjoyed the_whitehart_official , it had a proper London pub feel plus it was great to see a big pub trading, most big pubs across the capital have been converted as they couldn’t be filled with punters. Definitely worth a look in this one.

Massive shoutout to the team at The White Hart! We had our daughters 1st bday party in their private room and were so happy with the care and service we got from Charlie and his team. Everyone was super helpful and attentive. Highly recommended.

How this place is only rated 4.0 is perplexing. Lovely staff, really helpful and friendly. Excellent Sunday roast/lunch, open fire, dart board…really good value and a good place to depend a Sunday arvo. Would definitely come again.
Vic Pannett
Lovely pub with lovely staff. Lots of tables inside and out. Really like their beer garden.

They had my favourite non-alcoholic Italian drink called Crodino. As a teetotal person, it was great to see such a selection on the menu and reminded me of holidays in Italy.

One of my favourite pubs in Hackney, it's a classic & beautiful Georgian-style pub. Inside the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. I love the traditional decor and the cosy feel of the place. Even though it was busy, I managed to find a spot at the bar and was served quickly by the friendly staff.
The thing that really stands out about this place is the beer garden - it's huge, easily the biggest in the area, It's a fantastic spot to spend a sunny afternoon with friends, enjoying a few drinks and soaking up the atmosphere, they have screens outside too for when there's a game on.
Please bring back the pinball table! I used to come here more often just to play it

Nice pub. Good for an evening out. Garden doesn't seem to have been maintained very well over the years though. It was basically an ashtray out there.
Nice Henners
Huge garden off the main drag of Stoke Newington. Wonderful in the summer sun. Inside is slightly bare, and un intimate. However good beer and staff.
Benjamin william Evans

If I'm around there again we will visit

A spacious public house. T.V. for sports and a dart board. At the rear of the venue is a large garden. A comfortable and friendly venue.

Best Pub in Stoke Newington. Big and Crowded with a good Choice of Beers. During Summer a massive backyard garden hosts hundreds of people. Best Place Ever in Stokey.
Jarrod Hunt
Great beer garden. Beers a little on the steep side. Food looked great, we didn't eat anything though.
Richard Clark
Lovely evening spent in this little oasis.... the garden(s) have plenty of seating, with room to move about without bashing into other tables, which are regularly cleared of empties...
The staff in this place are top drawer..welcoming, attentive professional while easy going.
The bar snacks and food are always piping hot and very tasty.
Camille
The staff was so kind and reactive today, they kept my lot items carefully from last night! We did have a good time indeed - had left things behind 😇! Thank you for looking after my ponies!

A rather dishevelled old boozer, but with a heart of gold. A couple of well kept ales, on my visit Harveys Best and Five Points Pale. Good for sport, wirh a few screens dotted about.
Dominick Thomas
Yeah good! Stokey is always a fun place to drink and the football coverage is great. Can sit and read on the sofa on a Sunday/play darts. It's a nice pub.
Beverley Crome
The staff here are amazing. Bar and waiting staff deserve an award for customer service. Thank you all. The let down was the disappointing roast. Potatoes were awful, other veg was disappointing, meat was ok. (Based on pork -awful, beef, pretty good and chicken, good). Gravy too, was watery, at best. Yorkshire puddings were above average (for a pub) but all in all, a very disappointing dinner. Staff are amazing and we will be back for drinks, but we don't want to eat here again...

We travelled into the area to do some star gazing at the nearby dark sky reserve for our anniversary and stopped here for some dinner. The food and service was great and the decor of the pub is charming, warm and inviting. Thank you.

Had a late launch with a friend Saturday afternoon, we were very lucky to get a table in the beer garden. Saturday afternoon it was buzzing soooooo busy, there were a few Birthday gatherings but so nice to have lots of space outside. Staff as busy as they were rushed off their feet were absolutely brilliant, when taking our orders they kept to their words & delivered good food & drink. Very friendly hard working staff still managed to be very polite & smile 10/10 ! Highly recommended if your in the area !
Liz Parkinson
Chloe and all the staff made Zoë and Andréia's day really special! Great venue for an event. Great food. Great staff!
Regine Lima
Food ok- toilets wow! Disgusting! Ok I understand it's a Sunday after a big Saturday night but you can't expect families to come for Sunday roast! Please make an effort you have such a great space in a great location!
Amedeo Felix
Not many pubs around here, or I’d not come here. Only one beer...

Florian Wolf Gregor
Great pub, nice staff, great garden - always good to be there
Kiki Miskovic
Terrible service, and the amount of food is extremely bad.. Not worth the money!
Vicki Cornish
Good pub. Great atmosphere. Toilets leave a lot to be desired. Not very clean and freezing cold !!
Harry Newton
gnocchi game is ridiculously strong, thanks so much
Dan Goldan
My favourite place in Stoke Newington!!! just an awesome venue to spend a night/day at ;)
Fran SM
Lovely large beer garden which is good for the summer as we always seem to be able to get a table. Even when the pub is busy the service at the bar is always quick, a big bonus.<br/><br/>Tried the roast several times now and enjoyed it every time, only negative - could be a bit bigger, fine for me but some of my friends were left hungry.
Andy
Great place, great food really like the garden.
Kate
Yum!. Lovely pub with reasonably priced, well cooked food. The Sunday Roasts are a firm favourite of mine (although sometimes the gravy is too thin!) and the summer BBQ is some of the best food in the area.

Good pub, but I was left a little disappointed by the Sunday roast. <br/><br/>An ideal place to go as a local, don't be put off by its slightly shabby exterior, inside it has a really nice vibe. Ideal meeting point to start an evening and have a few beer, or to watch sports on the big screen.<br/><br/>The main food menu is American style, with pulled pork and burgers on the menu. It all looks good, but the actual portion sizes are small and the quality is questionable.<br/><br/>I had the Sunday roast, which although I know is prepared in advance, it came out almost instantly and tasted as though everything on the plate had been sat for several hours. At £13 I felt rather short changed and disappointed, so I probably won’t eat here again, considering how many other options there are in the local vicinity.
