The White Hart

If you’ve tired yourself out after a long stroll up King Street from Hammersmith looking for a good place to refuel, this large, newly refurbished pub could shimmer in front of you like a liquor-licensed oasis: it’s a welcoming place, with a small roadside terrace & cavernous central bar. Like many freshly painted, slightly raucous boozers, it screens sport on plasma screens & sells a lot of lager: what sets The White Hart apart is its gleaming wok kitchen, which emits fragrant aromas & delivers spicy platefuls for the hungry drinkers. Create your own Thai curry or mixed noodles from a choice of main ingredients & sauces; tempting sides include Singapore noodles, crispy chicken wings & nasi goreng. Prices are competitive; service is familiar & welcoming.
