About Tabard
Warm, easygoing pub with sofas & tables dishing out hearty British eats plus beer, wine & cocktails.
A pub that dates back to 1880 and was built as part of the Bedford Park estate, the first London garden suburb. It was welcomed in 1880 by the local journal, the Bedford Park Gazette, which expressed the hope that it would stop the sale of alcoholic liquors through other channels to the estate workmen building the new houses. The pub is Grade II*-listed and has now been registered with Hounslow Council as an Asset of Community Value, Hounslow ACV 001 and renewed 014. Notable interior features include tiling by William de Morgan and Walter Crane, and Arts & Crafts mirrors and pictures. The swing sign is based on the original painted by TM Rooke in 1880 and, amazingly, during refurbishment in 2016, the long-lost original sign was found again. It has now been expertly conserved, gifted to the Bedford Park Society by Greene King, and is on display in the upper parish hall room of St. Michael's church opposite the pub.
There are four distinct drinking areas (two bars, a dining area and a 'snug'), and ten hand pumps serve a cider (usually Westons Old Rosie) and regularly changing guest ales, sourced both nationally and locally. (If it is a hot spell the number of ciders may temporarily increase.) There is also a good range of unusual bottled beers, and keg craft beers such as Beavertown and Camden. Two-pint takeaway cartons are available.
A comprehensive selection of board games are available. Evening live music on Sat. and a Wed. quiz are usually in the dining area.

My go to pub in Turnham Green. They have a theatre section upstairs which is a huge plus. Outdoor seating is also available and comes handy in warm days. A cozy local pub that always meets my needs and expectations.

An exceptional pub attuned to the conventions of the hostelry industry with fare that doesn’t stray to far from expectations. A noteworthy beer and craft ale selection. But it’s the understated and functional interior here retaining much of the original late 19th.Century “Arts & Crafts” fittings and finishes that underpins much of the tone and metre here. Grade II Listed attributed to Norman Shaw (circa 1880) Distinctive and Distinguished.

I usually come here once a year due to my children's yearly performance in the theatre next door. The tankard never disappoints me it just gets better each year. The food is really good, atmosphere is brilliant and thier service is professional and efficient there is no complaints from me when it comes to the Tabbard.
