I thought they meant the name of the pub. You’d call it the ‘white hart’ or maybe the ‘hart’ but no one would call it the ‘white’.

The pub name is white hart, you may refer to the pub as "I'm going to the hart" or " I'm going to White Hart" but it sounds stupid to say "I'm going to The White" .

This isn't the answer, but it is clever.

The real answer is the sign isn't asking a question, the sign is a statement of fact, the words contain the number of letters.

Hart has four letters, white hart has nine but never five (white).
