The White Hart

I’ve been to the White Hart many times over the years, it’s always been a bit pricy and the food is hit and miss on quality, (guess it depends whose cooking), but last night I decided not to return.
The pub appeared two thirds empty and I was meeting a friend so I bought a pint, took a sip and sat down at a table. I noticed a glass on the table with what I thought was a menu in it; at closer inspection it turned out to be a reserved sign so I got up to look for another seat. It soon became clear that all remaining tables in the pub had the same signs so I asked the bar staff if there were any of the many empty tables or seats they could free up to which they replied no because it was quiz night.
I explained that had if it been clear that there was nowhere to sit in this practically empty pub I would have gone to another of the many pubs in the area so if they could not find a seat for me could I get a refund on my barely touched pint. To cut a long story short the managers response was to send a message via the staff that they could not do this because there was nothing wrong with the product they had sold.
What they seem to fail to have recognised is that when you pay the stupid prices demanded for a beer in pubs like this the product they are selling is not just the beer but the experience of being in that pub, this is one experience I shall not repeat.

Very good place for a bite. Food was good and the staff were so helpful and accommodating. We got an ultimate burger and 8oz steal with tea, coffee and soda and it came out to £35. Not bad. Very nicely decorated hang out.

The most inviting and relaxing pub in Crystal Palace. A definite place to pop in with your buddies.
The drinks are good and food equally so. Always has a lively atmosphere and fin place to be

Beautiful pub, great atmosphere with a lovely fireplace. Usually buzzing. Food is solid but not special. Staff are friendly.

Absolutely brilliant pub. Hipster ish without being full of annoying Hoxton types. Good friendly atmosphere and nice bar staff. Their pizzas are also yummy

I really like this pub. It’s always very clean, service is fast and the food is pretty good too

we like it! our first choice of the many pubs on the triangle for an after work drink (not only because its the closest!) :) low key but fun and friendly, and the food is not bad either :)

Have been to The White Hart on a few occasions and always find it too have a good relaxing atmosphere. The service is always prompt and polite. This was the first time I had food in there, usually just a quick drink.
I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food, not the standard up b grub.
All in all I will have food from there again especially at lunch time as it is quite and I was able to get the pick of the seats!!!

I love the Roasts on Sunday. Its the main reason I go to this pub. It has a great vibe and a small but good Ale range that changes all the time. I have been in after work during the week for a pint but its all about that Chicken Roast on a Sunday. The staff are friendly, but tend to serve the regulars first. The food during the week is ok, nothing to shout home about, just good pub food. If you want a nice relaxed drink then this is a great place. If you want to sit and stuff yourself with half a roast chicken on a sunday then this is your place!

I love this place. Good food, good atmosphere, good beer. What more do you want. Cracking steak sandwich!

It’s a pub but charges alot for food that is frankly crap. I had a veg burger but for 7.50 I’d expect more than two tiny bits of lettuce and a crappy deep fried from frozen pattie. also the Guinness tastes like the lines have never been cleaned. the bar lady was nice enough but very in efficient cold way. I think change of management has made this pub actually worse! The only reason that this pub managed 3 stars is because the postal order around the corner is so much worse.

Lovely pub. Great to drop into for a quick drink after dinner or a lazy afternoon with the papers (or indeed with the stash of Mills & Boon we found there the other day). Looking forward to the cider festival, if a little bit apprehensive…

A very stylish window display that pulls you in to look a round and find that classic 50’s to 00’s vintage piece.
Theirs two best thing about this shop
1. Inspiration
2. it inside a pub (Have a drink when you finish shopping!!!)

I love the white hart for drinks and atmosphere. It is our local so we do go there quite a bit. They sometimes have live music, but not the kind that forces you to shout in the face of your companions. Although vie never been to it, they even have a stitch and bitch kitting night which sounds kooky but fun. I would recommend the white hart for a great few drinks, I just wish they would improve the food…

Nice pub in the Crystal Palace area. Good selection of foods, but you’d mainly come here for the great selection of beers and happy crowd. A safe bet to have a great night out.

This is a nice pub (part of a chain I think) with great décor and good range of drinks including guest ales. Food can be really good and inexpensive for pub grub. Nice beer garden and the benches at the front are great for watching the world pass by.
However… the problem is the size of the bar/​number of staff to the number of patrons. At busy times it can take twenty mins to get served at the bar. I also dislike it when there are a number of people waiting to be served and one of the barmen starts emptying the dishwasher! I have lost count of the number of times we have given up and gone to one of the other pubs in the triangle.

This is my favourite local pub.
It’s had its detractors, as service hasn’t always been great but my experience has always been positive.
I’m not a beer expert but the wine choice isn’t bad. And they had a cider festival on this summer too.
Food is good, not amazing, but not bad either.
But it’s the atmosphere, and cosy nooks and crannies, that I really love. It’s easy going and friendly. I’ve ended up having random conversations with ‘neighbours’ here!
And there are a selection of things on during the week. Plus a little beer garden to while away summer evenings.
Worth a visit.

Lovely pub, family friendly and well situated in the heart of CP where decent pubs are making a slow but sure appearance.
Food portions are super-​generous, and the garden has been nicely done up. Quirky furniture makes for a more interesting night out than your average local boozer, and there’s a good selection of continental beers, too.

The menu here was exactly the same as that in the Edinboro Castle & considering the taps all looked to have the same range of beverages at the end of them I think it’s safe to say they’re run by the same company.
Can’t really compare the service as visited on a Wednesday afternoon but the interior was much comfier & the décor much homlier. Whilst my burger could have done with a bit of a longer cook it couldn’t be faulted for size or value.
A good range of boardgames, some books & I think even dvds were in evidence for use or loan I suppose which further enhances the service provided.

Love the White Hart, especially the fine array of foreign beers and proper UK ales.
Decent food, nice décor, the garden and the great music all go towards making this my favourite pub in the Triangle.
