About the spot

The White Hart sits on Church Road in the heart of the Triangle and has stayed a proper pub while the area around it has gentrified. On a matchday the locals and the Eagles share the same bar, the screens are on and the walk to Selhurst is downhill all the way.

Triangle pub on Church Road, SE19. Walking distance down the hill to Selhurst Park. Cask ales kept properly and a full lager line. Big screens for early kick-offs and other games. Steady mix of Triangle locals and Palace fans. Traditional pub feel that has not been polished away.

Old-school Triangle pub that still feels like a pub. Reliable pre-match and an easy walk down to Selhurst.

Pint and a screen on a noon kick-off

First cask ale at the bar with the regulars. Other game on the big screen as a warm-up. Palace fans drifting in two hours before. The walk down Church Road towards Selhurst.

Heads up: it gets full fast for big games, get there early or you are standing.

Stick to the cask handpump, the regulars are there for a reason.

What to order

On the drinks side, whatever cask is on the handpump. A cold lager for the warm-up. A short before you leave.

From the kitchen, tODO confirm current kitchen offer.

Who it suits

Palace fans who want a proper pub. Groups happy to stand for the big games. Travelling fans looking for the Triangle experience. Locals who want the screens on. Anyone who prefers cask to craft.

The verdict

The White Hart is the most pub-like pub in the Triangle. Reliable, traditional, walking distance to Selhurst.
