Early evening busy around the bar yet many seats and tables free. Comfortable and relaxed atmosphere yet sadly a far cry from what I remember this place from 30 years ago, the poor beer choice aptly reflected this. I supped up and headed for the nearby Shalamar for a well deserved curry.

One Mile End Brew Co. (formerly Mulligans at the White Hart and then WH Brew Pub) - Salvation Ale4.40GoodNo ABV shown on the pump clip but I enquired and was told 4.4%. A hazy beer with grapefruit flavours, something I have lost the taste for since my doctor telling me to avoid grapefruit.

Early evening. 'Dry January' does not seem to be slowing the trade in here.

One Mile End Brew Co. (formerly Mulligans at the White Hart and then WH Brew Pub) - Hospital Porter5.20ExcellentA dry, brown Porter with a little rye bight.
Mad Squirrel (formerly Red Squirrel) - Old Blue Weisse5.20ExcellentFrom a keg. A murky reddish colour (not blue). Strong blueberry flavour; bananas too. A bit of oomph makes it a great beer.

Early evening visit after work and I managed to bag one of the comfy chairs. I also remembered to claim the CAMRA discount, so feeling doubly pleased with myself.

Tiny Rebel - Juicy4.80Not TriedThe barman actually warned me off this one which he didn’t think was up to Tiny Rebel’s usual standard. A little taster suggested he was right.

Early evening and busy, although most people are sitting outside by the busy road junction. I’m no great lover of carbon monoxide poisoning, so found a table within.

Early evening crowds at this thriving pub, but I was lucky to find a seat in a corner. After a while I found myself surrounded by local CAMRA bods, who were getting the beers in before disappearing upstairs for a Pig’s Ear Beer Festival planning meeting.

One Mile End Brew Co. (formerly Mulligans at the White Hart and then WH Brew Pub) - Hospital Porter5.20ExcellentA bitter chocolate, dark Porter.
One Mile End Brew Co. (formerly Mulligans at the White Hart and then WH Brew Pub) - Temperance Session IPA3.50ExcellentI’m not sure if there are really three different One Mile End beers called Temperance, but this one was clearly labelled ‘Session IPA’ at 3.5%. Very tasty too.
One Mile End Brew Co. (formerly Mulligans at the White Hart and then WH Brew Pub) - Juicy 4pm4.90ExcellentFrom key-keg. Turbid yellow/gold and exceptionally juicy.
One Mile End Brew Co. (formerly Mulligans at the White Hart and then WH Brew Pub) - Dubbel Impact5.50AcceptableFrom key-keg and quite a bit of carbonation has built up. This beer has been brewed here at the White Hart on the old One Mile End brew-kit which is still in place in the cellar and used for occasional small-run beers. It is in the style of a Belgian Dubbel but not really up there with Chimay etc..

My final pub of the day, the friends with whom I had been drinking had all gone home and I decided to come here for old times sake, it used to be a regular haunt of mine in the Murphy's days when I worked across the road. It is sad to see the old partitions gone but really encouraging to see this pub apparently doing very well indeed. Packed this evening with a good crowd of drinkers and diners. I forgot to ask for CAMRA discount on my first pint so I stayed for another.

The pub is found in Whitechapel, Greater London, E1 4TP.

This pub was present at the London end of Mile End Road as early as 1750. It was rebuilt in its present form in around 1900 and is a striking building with a cupola high above the corner door. In the 1970s and 1980s it was the principle pub of the small Murphy’s chain of East End pubs, owned by a family of that name. This pub in particular became known simply as ‘Murphy’s’, and the White Hart name was forgotten for a while. It was notorious for its late night lock-ins, and a tap on the side door in the early hours was usually rewarded by the chance of a sly late one. At this time the pub retained superb etched-glass partitions and mirrors. All that was swept away some time in the late-1990s in a controversial refurbishment that left the pub with a large, open-plan, wooden-floored main bar and a function room upstairs. Further refurbishment came in 2013, and this saw the introduction of an open view kitchen and a micro-brewery in the cellar. Brewing was initially in-house, with beers sold variously as Mulligans at the White Hart or as WH Brew Pub. This brewing venture met with mixed success and in August 2014 the new One Mile End Brewery took over the kit and was immediately successful with its full-flavoured brews. The brewery quickly outgrew the premises and, in the summer of 2016, relocated to Tottenham. 6 handpumps on the bar counter. In September 2022 the pub passed to McMullen.

We have visited this pub 53 times, seen 117 different beers and tried 73 of them.
