THE WHITE HART, IRONBRIDGE

Suree's Kitchen at The White Hart

Award-winning food, traditional pub hospitality, riverside views and rooms in the heart of historic Ironbridge

We are delighted to welcome award-winning Chef Suree Coates and Suree’s Kitchen into The White Hart from w/c 14th September.

A loyal following, a new home

Suree’s Kitchen has been part of The White Hart courtyard for many years and has built a loyal following for fresh, authentic Thai cooking, warm hospitality and delicate, lingering flavours.

Following her recent success as ‘Midlands Chef of the Year’, Chef Suree will now take over the food at The White Hart, bringing her award-winning cooking directly into our historic riverside inn.

“This partnership allows us to welcome many more guests while keeping everything people love about Suree’s Kitchen — fresh, authentic cooking, warm hospitality and a relaxed atmosphere.

I can’t wait to welcome my old and new guests to my new new Suree’s Kitchen Experience to share the love of food, flavours and friends”

BOOKINGS: You can book The White Hart Pub food from Friday September 11th onwards.

Or for Suree’s Kitchen Evening Experiences,  from Wednesday 16th September to Saturday evenings onwards. 

Suree’s Thai Tapas Lunches available Thursdays to Saturdays from September 17th.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR WHITE HART CUSTOMERS

Same White Hart, exciting new food

The White Hart remains the welcoming, traditional pub you already know and love. You can still call in for a drink, enjoy the bar, relax in the courtyard, meet friends, stay overnight and enjoy the riverside setting overlooking the River Severn. What’s changing is the food – Chef Suree will now lead the kitchen, creating a new food offer that brings together:

Traditional Thai

Authentic award winning dishes from Chef Suree’s kitchen

Thai Tapas

Sharing plates, made for the table to enjoy, alongside some ‘new pub favourites’

Plus Seasonal Specials Daily

Lunchtime pub favourites, done properly!

British Classics

Reimagined with Suree’s flavour-first approach

Drinks

Real ale, Asian beers, lagers, wine matching & fresh new Thai infused cocktails. Plus new lo/no alcohol range

Chef Suree's Sweet Treats

Regulars will know to save a little space for one of Chef Suree’s amazing desserts – or order an assiette selection for two!

The result is a more exciting food experience, while keeping the warmth, character and relaxed pub feel of The White Hart.
