White Hart

The White Hart has long been part of the rhythm of life along the Thames. Friends gather here for pints in the sunshine, couples celebrate their “I do’s” overlooking the river, and families return year after year to enjoy the views together. It’s a pub that has quietly become part of Barnes’ story, a place where the river, good food and good company come together.

There are plenty of spots to settle in, from benches along the river to tables on the terrace, while upstairs a beautiful private space offers a memorable setting for special occasions.

Expect fresh, seasonal British dishes, thoughtful specials and a drinks list worth lingering over. Whether you’re joining us after a riverside walk or planning a long lunch with friends, we are the local by the river.

Summer with us is all about flavour, seasonality and the simple pleasure of dining by the river. Our kitchen champions fresh, British ingredients that create dishes that taste like home, alongside the classics, our specials board changes regularly, showcasing the best seasonal meats, fresh fish and produce that arrives in the kitchen.

Sundays remain a highlight, with generous roasts perfect after a walk along the Thames. Take a table on the terrace, enjoy the river views, and let the food do the talking.

Our first-floor room offers a beautiful space for private and private dining and celebrations, accommodating groups from 30 to 70 guests.

Overlooking the river, the spaces can be arranged as a semi-private or fully private setting and includes TVs and flexible layouts to suit your occasion. Paired with seasonal party menus and curated drinks, it’s a memorable place to gather.

For smaller celebrations, there are also lively spaces throughout the pub perfect for semi-private gatherings with the atmosphere of the pub around you.

A visit to Barnes feels like stepping into a village within London. Spend the day exploring Barnes Green, wandering the charming high street, or enjoying one of the city’s most beautiful riverside walks along the Thames.

The area also holds an important place in sporting history. Barnes was home to Ebenezer Cobb Morley, founder of Barnes Football Club and the man who wrote the first official rules of modern football in 1863, helping shape the game played across the world today.

After exploring the area, The White Hart is the perfect place to stop, a historic riverside pub where locals and visitors have gathered for generations.
