The all-important details

We can host a fun-filled, cosy meal for up to 40 guests in our charming Terrace Kitchen with panoramic riverside views and up to 50 if you are after something a bit more casual. Fancy hosting your party in the heart of our pub? We can host up to 25 of your favourite faces in our spacious Bar area. Beyond that, things might get a bit elbow-to-elbow (and we want everyone to have plenty of wiggle room). We’re family-friendly until 8pm.

Of course! We’re all about laid-back, fun-filled drinks and nibbles parties – it’s kind of our thing! With gorgeous spots both upstairs and downstairs with riverside views (ideal for those must-have family snaps), our casual get-togethers are the recipe for the perfect party vibes.

You bet! For all our private or semi private bookings, we just need a fully refundable deposit to lock in your reservation – consider it a high-five to secure your spot.

We don’t have parking, but don’t worry – our super-convenient, just-around-the-corner pub is only a hop, skip, and jump from Barnes Bridge Station (making us a breeze to find).

Yes, we’ll happily give you some time before your party to decorate the space however you like! Just let us know in your booking enquiry. Cakes are always welcome and plates, forks & a cake knife will be provided.

Our testimonials

We held our wedding reception in the beautiful upstairs room at the White Hart. It was perfect from beginning to end. Nothing was too much trouble for the team. They even bought new speakers so the music was spot on for dancing. They allowed us to decorate the venue the night before which meant we had time to make it beautiful. So many guests commented on how delicious the food was. I would absolutely recommend the WH for a very special event: it couldn’t have been more perfect. Thank you!

Trip Advisor

We used the function room overlooking the river for our daughter's wedding reception. It exceeded our expectations in every way. The staff worked tirelessly from midday to closing time to ensure that we had the best possible time. Nothing was too much trouble from AV/tech to a constant stream of drinks ordered from the bar. The food was delicious and we were able to order more for our guests than we had originally planned. It was a very special day. SO A BIG THANK YOU.

Trip Advisor

I celebrated my 60th birthday with about 45 friends in the lovely Morley Room at The White Hart and it was a wonderful party. Thanks to Barbara for all her help in organising the party to my specifications. I'm also really grateful to Didier and the team who made it so special for me on the night. All of the staff were very attentive to my requests and needs. My guests seemed to have a great time, loved the venue, and the food and drinks.

Had an amazing weekend lunch birthday party upstairs with incredible views, a gorgeous private room, great food and top quality service! Thank you to the whole incredible White Hart team for making it so special! I’d go back again and again for my events, and it’s also just a great beautiful pub!

We hired out the middle floor with balconys looking over the river. Beautiful Space. Incredible staff. Yummy canapés. Very accommodating. The staff and managers were amazing. Really helpful with our requests before and after the event including early access to the room to decorate. Great communication throughout the day (without smothering us at the same time). Bar staff were super friendly, helpful and fun all afternoon. We really really could not recommend hosting an event here more. A day to remember for sure – THANK YOU to all the team at White Hart. YOU ARE AWESOME and made our day extra special.
