Fuller’s will launch its newest pub and restaurant, The White Horse, in Wembley Park on 2nd October — with a wide range of covid-safe precautions.
Influenced by Wembley Park’s legendary past as a host to some of the world’s greatest music and sporting events, and the area’s strong cultural heritage, the new pub’s name, The White Horse, derives from the first ever FA Cup Final match to be played in the stadium.
The higher-than-anticipated turnout at the 1923 match meant vast crowds surged onto the pitch. Mounted policemen, including one on a light-coloured horse, which became the defining image of the day, had to be brought in to clear the crowds and allow the final to take place.
Situated in the heart of Wembley Park, on Arena Square, and set over two levels, The White Horse is both contemporary and homely in its design, says Fuller’s. Its elegant interior, with lounge furniture, a central square-shaped bar and an abundance of planting, is set against a colour palette of rich blues, greens and ochres.
The new pub will feature ample outdoor space for al fresco drinking and dining, with a quaint external garden at ground level, and an outside terrace that overlooks the SSE Arena, Wembley, on the upper floor. The new space caters to all tastes, from the traditional pub-goer to the millennial remote worker.
The new pub will offer the community a new and practical space for remote working with its open plan layout. The venue’s upper level has two private rooms and one quiet area, complete with charging points, free Wi-Fi and screens. Tables and specific areas can be pre-booked by individuals or organisations. In addition, a plethora of plugs and USB points at every table throughout the pub make it an ideal space for local workers to enjoy a change of scenery.
‘We are incredibly excited to be open for the much-anticipated UEFA Euro 2021 next summer’
The pub will have a varied and interesting portfolio of beers, wines, and spirits, as well as low- and no-alcohol options.
General manager, Sinead Murphy, said: “Wembley Park is becoming a landmark destination for culture and community, so it was only natural for us to reflect that with the opening of this brand new pub, which celebrates Wembley’s legendary past.
“The White Horse will be a neighbourhood pub for Wembley Park’s residents and the wider Brent community, who may be seeking an early breakfast before work, a swift pint on the way home, or change of scene to work remotely from.
“We look forward to welcoming event day visitors who will once again visit Wembley Park for its world-class culture and entertainment when it is safe to do so, and we are incredibly excited to be open at Wembley Park for the much-anticipated UEFA Euro 2021 next summer. We intend to be the go-to venue for people to eat, drink and revel in the atmosphere.”
The White Horse will open its doors at 10am on 2nd October and will be open from Monday to Saturday, 10am-11pm, and Sunday, 10am-10.30pm.
