I only had a drink here. Wanted food but it's not available until 6pm. It has a shabby-chic vibe but is a bit too shabby. (See the pic of the ripped seat)

First time coming into the Park Tavern today after hearing how amazing the roasts are. I had the pork belly roast, crackling was so tasty and on point! Been a long time since I’ve had such a high quality roast. Potatoes were nice crispy and Yorkshire’s were divine. Great portion sizes! The rose wine was really light and refreshing. The bar staff were very smiley and welcoming. Will be back for the American BBQ on Saturday can’t wait to try their brisket! The garden is also so beautiful!

Worst pub in London? Probably. See picture outside. Rubbish bins overflowing with rats spotted (probably in the kitchen too). Service is awful/rude. The Gardeners 200m up the road is great if you want an alternative.

We had a lovely evening in the Secret Garden. Ordered a chicken Caesar salad and a deluxe saucy burger absolutely delicious. Watched the opening ceremony of the Olympics- Holiday season, so quieter than normal. Lovely staff. Will be back.

After looking forward to visiting Park Tavern for ages, our visit yesterday was very disappointing. There was an extremely limited menu, with barely any of the South African delicacies we were so looking forward to. The portions were far smaller than expected, with the portabello burger definitely not being worth the £14 price tag. We were also charged different prices for the drinks as to what were shown on the menu. The waitering staff and pub itself were lovely but the food was unfortunately a let down.
