Park Tavern in Kingston upon Thames - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Our favourite local pub! Traditional, unpretentious and very friendly 😊

Hidden gem of a small local pub. Looks like someone's house converted into a pub. Atmosphere is very classic English pub vibe. The price of the drink I bought was the cheapest in the area which is a bonus. No parking as the pub is in a residential road.

Great old school boozer. Shows all the sports too. Has a decent range of ales and a subtle amount of keg beer. A nice outdoor area front and back too. Prices not too expensive either for the area. It’s not life changing but certainly better than other places in the area and it’s friendly and welcoming too. Nice to see a back street boozer thriving and long may it continue.

After a visit to Richmond Park we came across this small pub close to Kingston Gate in New Road. It was established in 1868 .We are not sure much has been done with it since.Some of the seating reminded us of an old railway station waiting room. Very Uncomfortable. As Strangers we hardly were given a warm welcome. Good range of beers, but well above average prices for the area. Very little in the way of food. Once visited easily forgotten

Proper boozer. Dark, busy interior with a good selection of drinks

Proper English boozer, great selection of cask beers and all the usual keg business

This is a great little boozer to go and watch some sport 🙂🍺 known as Kingston's "best kept secret" you can get a reasonably priced pint and watch some footy, rugby or whatever you like! Just make sure you eat first 🍝 definitely recommend stopping in for a bev 💪

Looking for a genuine english pub, beautifully decorated, serving real ales ? That's THE place !

A proper pub filled with history and providing a great selection of cask ales!

At last, a proper pub! This pubs ticked so many boxes, that it easily puts it contention for the position of my most favourite pub ever.

Dog and pram friendly for an after walk stop. Toilets exceptional and unexpectedly well decorated. Will definitely be back when in the area

Gorgeous hidden gem of a traditional English pub

Great little pub. Good value for money, £5.50 for a pint of Stella Artois. Service is very friendly. I’ll definitely come back.

Love the Park Tavern. Proper pub, nice people, good traditional atmosphere and excellent range of ales.

Brilliant local independent family run, proper old skool pub for drinkers. I'm lucky to live right opposite. Great atomosphere, always friendly. Nice seating area at the front. Very reasonable prices. Try it out!

A proper pub, always a pleasure.

Had stopped there for a quick fill up on our half way through Richmond Park all the way from Putney, I myself work on a central London pub and that was a whole new experience worth a visit highly recommend for a British pub vibe

Great pub with regular changing guest beers.

I love this old school values pub. Having lived down the road aome years back it's great to visit again locally and to see all is well.

This is one of the last drinking pubs left in Kingston. It is on a quiet backstreet near Richmond Park. There is seating in the gazebo in front of the pub, and around the bar inside. It has an excellent selection of real ales, and is very comfy.

The pub is in a quiet location but there are two problems here: the pumps are not well maintained and the place could do with a thorough cleaning. Could do far better. Edited: 2023-05-16: Replying to the owner's query regarding this review. Yes, it the correct place. Initially I was in the bar, but they moved to the terrace a t the front to get fresh air. Also, it is not first time that I have had this impression of the Park Tavern.

Proper pub, good range of well-kept ales and assertive staff who will ensure people keep noise down. Shame about the unnecessarily loud jukebox though that came on (hopefully just a Friday evening thing...)

Lovely local small and independent pub... loads of interesting beers on tab (changed regularly); always showing sport(s) or life events like Coronation; friendly staff and patrons. I recommend a visit.

Nice local w good ale and nice chill atmosphere

One of my favourite locals The Park Tavern is a "proper pub". Excellent ales. No craft beers though. Excellent range of snacks. Good atmosphere. Friendly people.

This is a proper old school pub. It’s a very nice little boozer tucked away down one of the back streets of Kingston where the walls and ceiling are decorated with all kinds of niknaks. It has a nice atmosphere in there and the last time I was there, it seemed to have its own resident pub cat.

Hidden gem not far from Kingston Gate entrance to Richmond Park. Well worth stopping in to rehydrate while on your walk.

Old school pub with a great beer choice

Having not been to this pub for quite a while, I was very pleased to find it had not been ruined by "authorised refurbishment vandals" as so many pubs have. I enjoyed a couple of beers in a comfortable, friendly atmosphere and will visit again more often. Back again (Feb 2023). Ages after the previous visit. It is still a gem!

I have an annoying weekly work meeting, which is slightly out-of-hours and have been popping into this pub and its been... perfect. Pint of reasonably priced Guinness, real fireplace with cat asleep next to it, staff that remember your order after a couple of visits, ticking clocks and the low hum of the locals providing a proper WFH ambiance. Will be swapping the fireplace for the outside seating when it's warmer.

Proper boozer, old school, good beer and nice fire in cosy traditional setting

Great pub that feels like a country local. Good range of ales. Worth a visit before or after a walk in Richmond Park

Extremely cosy spot right next to the park with a real fireplace and a half dozen real ales on tap

One of the few remaining “proper pubs” in the area and it’s fantastic - warm welcome from the bar staff, fantastic ales, friendly locals - so glad to have found the Park Tavern!

Friendly local with good selection of well kept beers. Sports coverage as well.

A real old school pub, family owned and frequented by locals. Excellent fresh cask ales and a nice patio in front. Worth a visit!

What a gem of a little pub. Out of the way to the point of not knowing unless you know (if you get my drift?!) All sorts of memorabilia - mainly beer and rugby related. You don't need anything more than that do you?!

Good old fashioned pub with friendly people.

I had a pint of Windsor and Eaton's "Gaurdsman ale" it was fantastic one of the 6 ales on offer.

Lovely historic pub with great character. Locals are friendly. Landlady is friendly. They are fine with kids. Lovely when the wisteria out front is in flower

Love this pub! The fact it's now our new local fills me with joy!

Cosy pub with a fire and dog friendly. Love it

Small intimate pub, how all pubs used to be, welcoming, a pleasant place to be, good real beers, what is not to like

Friendly, cosy and very beautiful. Who could ask for more on a pub? Recommended.

Hidden gem near my neighbourhood which I only discovered after 5 years being here.So glad and lucky to see that family traditional pubs still do exist.

I have drunk in a shed load of pubs over many years and have to say hands down that The Park Tavern is in my top 3 of all time, the locals, the staff, the ales everything about this pub is what a great pub should be ABSOLUTELY love it!!!!!

Fab pub especially if you like your ale 🍺 clean friendly, just what a traditional watering hole should be.

A friendly local boozer, tucked away on a backstreet. Good selection of drinks and helpful, efficient barstaff.

A traditional old English tavern that has not changed much over time, thank goodness. Ale well kept and snacks available. Small seated area outside and friendly atmosphere inside. If you enjoy pubs as they used to be then this is one of the best.

After many years occasionally popping in and getting the same welcome as given to strangers by the Slaughtered Lamb pub in An American Werewolf in London, I am very happy to report that yesterday afternoon both the staff and the regulars were most hospitable and the beer was very good. Very happy with my visit and I'll definitely be visiting again.

It was a great place to relax and enjoy a few drinks with my work colleagues

I must admit I'm a little biased as this used to be my local and I also worked behind the bar, but this is a lovely, quiet little pub. Just down the road from the 'Kingston Gate' to 'Richmond Park', and although it's a locals type place, the bar staff are friendly, the pub is cozy, plus it's pleasant to sit outside with a cool drink on the long summer evenings.

Very nice clean and traditional pub. Beautiful interior. A place to go and relax with family and friends. Prices are very good.

Really nice, family-run freehold pub with a great selection of ales.

Bar staff need a serious look at, never cracked a smile and didn’t seem pleased to have customers. Drinks reasonably priced but the service was poor at best. Seemed to hate their job, it was dark and dingy and they snapped at us. We left after about 30 mins as felt so unwelcome and awkward. Feel like unless you’re a local on first name basis with them you get this treatment. Seemed to scowl and talk about us behind the bar and even yelled at us for not wearing a mask (which I understand it was a complete moment of standing up and forgetting we didn’t have it on) but as someone who’s in hospitality there’s better ways than yelling it across the room in an attempt to embarrass, but yet a few ‘locals’ were walking round without one and no one bat an eyelid.

Definitely the best pub in kingston and surroundings. Friendly environment...

Quirky local place, nice outdoors bit for the summer.

Great little pub, an old fashioned pub, hard to find these days, incredibly friendly people both sides of the bar - very well organised as far as C19 goes.

Such a beautiful find, so quiet and so beautiful!

Lovely little pub. Do a great pint of Guinness

This is a proper English pub, they don't make them like this any more. Great selection of ales, quirky interior, huge collection of bar clips on the ceiling, rugby on the TV: a backstreet gem!

BRILLIANT travelled all the way from SCOTLAND one of the best I have been in

Very local but very friendly, traditional pub

Really superb interior. Always busy with (I'd guess) locals. Roaring open fire in the winter and good selection of real ales which are always changing.

Really nice place where you are welcome also as a tourist. We were watching there the rugby final and it was amazing! We will come back when were visiting again our friends living at the Tudor road! Thx so much!

Not been in the Tavern for a considerable time but there it was and still charming and quite quaint. Good friendly service and a good selection of real ales. I wont leave it so long next time

Really nice dog friendly pub with good selections of beers.

Out of the way pub, Clyde to Richmond park with a lovely Wisteria out front. Nice place to sit and chill.

Lovely little pub tucked away down a small road near Richmond park, Kingston gate

Has that certain ambiance that you just don't get these days.

Really love this place Very cosy and traditional and everyone is so friendly Would highly recommend a lunch here it is located on a beautiful side road with Richmond Park situated at the top

A welcoming back street local in the heart of North Kingston with a superb range of real ales, an annual St George's day beer festival and a great garden.

Great traditional ale drinker's pub.

Sweet little local pub. Beautiful Christmas decorations

Very warm and friendly pub, very much our pubs used to be,

My favourite local in North Kingston, great selection of beers (to which their ceiling display of pump shields is testament), can get a roll e.g. corned beef, packet of crisps or scratchings to eat while you watch the football/rugby/golf/anything that’s on that you fancy - just ask and they’ll put it on. Plus, there’s a pub dog!

A microcosm of proper beer in a world of Wetherspoons

Friendly, good beer, a couple of TVs and happy to accommodate what goes on each of them.

A super pub near to the SE entrance to Richmond park. Great selection of real ale in this traditional pub. Small outdoor seating area fronts onto the pavement. Well worth the visit.

I used come here when I worked at British Aerospace.

Friendly atmospheric with many real ales

A very cosy pub welcome to all ages before 8pm but after that it is 16+. Very warm atmosphere with brilliant staff

Nice little place ,tucked out the way

Really great pub if you are looking for a specific sort of time.

Nice little local pub. Quaint, cozy, comfortable. Nice and warm on a winters day :)

Cracking local free house, lovely place.

Great beer and covers all sport

Warm welcome and fine ales. A gem.

Very nice and calm place. I recommend

I love people watching here and enjoying great ale

Lovely cosy old style pub, with friendly staff catering for an older crowd of regulars Good selection of beers You can get basic tea and coffee (no lattes or capachinos) and filled bread rolls from their small kitchen Lovely to sit outside when weather permits as its on a quiet road All round good experience

Great little ale house. Very welcoming and great selection of beers. Also has sports a must go to pub, if your around the Richmond park area.

Excellent Pub, great selection of foods, snacks and drinks, really friendly people and staff. 🍺🍷

Tucked away pub. Good selection of beers.

Nice cozy old-english-pub feel. Friendly locals, great ale selection and within moments from Richmond park

Great place, friendly environment.

Fine pub with wide selection of guest Ales (with a couple of regulars). Friendly staff, nice atmosphere and big screen (+a couple of smaller screens) for sports. Visit after a walk in Richmond Park!

Absolutely cracking pub with a great selection of ales, yet very well hidden and certainly under the radar. Definitely one for the locals: don't visit if you're a *insert cliché here* sort.
