00:00A popular Hackney pub has mysteriously been boarded up, leaving staff without their jobs
00:05overnight. Metal panels were secured on the doors and windows of the White Hart in Stoke Newington
00:11on Wednesday. Google Maps has also been updated to say the pub has been temporarily closed.
00:17In a statement on Instagram, the pub explained that it was in a spat with our landlord,
00:22but said the disagreement was nothing too serious. However, a member of staff at the pub has told
00:27the Standard that the post only reveals part of the truth and that staff members had lost their
00:33jobs. The White Hart is run by Antic Hospitality Group, a significant pub chain which entered
00:39administration last summer. Antic ran 49 pubs in London in 2018, but many have been forced
00:46to shut their doors since. The Standard has contacted the White Hart and Antic for comment.
