About This Pub

Ah, the White Hart Eltham – it's one of those local gems that really pulls you in with its easy-going charm. From what I've gathered from the reviews and their website, it's got this warm, friendly feel that makes you want to settle in for a pint or two. The drinks are a highlight; they're reasonably priced with some unbeatable offers, especially if you're after something refreshing in the summer, and they've got a decent range of beers and cocktails to choose from. Sports fans will love it too – with HD screens everywhere showing all the big matches, it's an ideal place to catch football, rugby, or whatever's on. Plus, it's dog-friendly, which is just ace if you're out for a walk and fancy a stop-off. They've also got fun events like live music and quizzes that add a bit of excitement to the evenings. On the flip side, though, the music can crank up a notch and get a tad overwhelming, making it tricky for a quiet natter. And while the service is generally alright, it's not always that extra helpful touch you'd hope for, and food-wise, it seems hit or miss – great when it's there, like their carvery deals, but you might find slim pickings on some days. Overall, it's a solid choice for a laid-back night out in Eltham, especially if you're not fussed about a full dining experience, and I'd say it's worth a visit for the good vibes and value, as long as you go in with realistic expectations.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The atmosphere is really welcoming and friendly, making it a great spot for a casual catch-up with mates.
  • Drinks are affordably priced with some cracking offers, especially their summer range – perfect for keeping things light on the wallet.
  • It's brilliant for sports enthusiasts, with HD screens showing Sky and BT Sports, and plenty of TVs in sensible spots so you won't miss a moment.
  • They're super dog-friendly, which is a lovely touch if you're popping in with your furry friend.
  • There's a good buzz with events like live music, quizzes, and even comedy nights, keeping things lively and fun.
Cons
  • The music can get a bit too loud at times, which might make it hard to chat without raising your voice.
  • Food options aren't always reliable; sometimes there are none available, like on certain Sundays, so it's not the best for a full meal out.
  • Service is generally okay, but it doesn't always hit the mark – nothing terrible, just not consistently top-notch.

Popped into this pub as it was round the corner from the theatre we were heading to. Did not get any food on this occasion, service was okay but the music was a bit too loud. It was nice to have a convenient spot to grab a drink before the show though.

Back again after the refurbishment. Nice bright pub with reasonable priced drinks. No carvery or food options on the Sunday i was here. Popped in on a Sunday for a spot of lunch. £ 14 for a carvery roast which seems good value for money and on a whole its ok, could have done with more meat or a thicker cut. Veg was fresh, firm and good selection. Nice home-made Yorkshires and a vegetarian option. Lager wasn't the coldest but ok. Staff excellent, polite and helpful. Gets very busy after 1 pm.

Didn't have food. Exceptional prices and friendly service. Several TVs for sport in multiple sensible locations. Good beer range, though cask was temporarily off when I went there.
