Whitehart

Whitehart (also styled De Whitehart Restaurant) is an independent restaurant and entertainment venue in Erith, in the London Borough of Bexley, England. It describes itself as an "exclusive ultra-modern eatery and entertainment venue" offering a fine dining experience, with a menu that fuses African and world flavours. The kitchen draws heavily on Nigerian cooking traditions, using freshly sourced local produce and largely organic ingredients, and it highlights that many Nigerian recipes are plant-based and therefore suitable for vegetarians and vegans. The venue operates as both a restaurant and a social space. Downstairs there is a room available for private hire, and on weekends Whitehart hosts its own DJ entertainment, playing genres ranging from 1980s music to Afrobeats and Afropop. Its signature dish is grilled fish served with fried yam and Asun (spicy grilled goat). The menu is organised into starters, light meals, main courses and desserts, and the restaurant also offers an online booking system. Whitehart positions itself as a home-from-home dining destination with a relaxed and friendly environment, aiming to introduce African cuisine to a broad local audience in South East London. Customer testimonials on its website mention Nigerian dishes such as amala and egusi and praise the online booking system. The business is small and independent, with no publicly disclosed parent company, ownership group or founding date in the available evidence.
