People's Park Tavern in Hackney

I booked a table for 18 people at to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We arrived at 1 pm, expecting to have lunch together, as I had clearly stated when making the reservation. Unfortunately, the entire experience was a disaster. Upon arrival, we were told to order through an app, but after trying for 30 minutes, the app kept saying they were too busy to accept orders. We had no choice but to go to the bar to order directly, where we were told the wait time for food would be at least an hour—despite it being peak lunchtime. After waiting patiently, one of our friends went back to the bar to place an order after confirming a new dish choice with his wife. When he returned to the bar just five minutes later, he was told that they were no longer accepting *any* orders at all, and that he would have to order through Deliveroo and have it delivered to the restaurant! This was at 1:30 pm, during peak lunchtime, for a group that had made a reservation specifically for lunch in the restaurant. To make matters worse, after waiting over an hour, we received below-average food that was overpriced and disappointing. This is absolutely unacceptable for a place that claims to cater to large groups and events. The lack of communication, delays, and poor service completely ruined what was meant to be a special celebration. If you’re planning a large event or want a decent meal in a timely manner, I would strongly suggest looking elsewhere. I regret choosing this place for such an important occasion. ---

The location and garden are lovely, right on the park and lovely well maintained garden, though very crowded with tables which are very close together, so you are squeezing past your neighbours all the time. We came for lunch today. It took forever to order. You can't order at the bar, you have to order via a QR code. The food on the online menu via the code doesn't match the menus on the tables, and it adds a 10% service charge automatically. I went to try and order in person and was directed to a till at the BBQ where I could order from a person, but was told it wasn't possible to take the service charge off. Lots of food unavailable. Told the paper menus were out of date which is why some things were missing from the online page. Food took an age to come, like 45 minutes, and it didn't appear to be hugely busy, and was a huge disappointment when it did. Salad missing two of the ingredients and very scant on others. Almost sent it back but too hungry to wait for something else to come. Adult burger for £18 identical to the child's for £11, only really difference was lettuce in the bun and sesame seeds on top of the bun. All food hugely over priced. Whole experience a disappointment. Went and asked for the service charge to be refunded for reasons stated above. This was done without argument but also without any real apology or care, as it didn't really seem to matter, as there are plenty of other people who will still come to eat and drink. Absolutely wouldn't return.

The location is great but the service is awful, none of the bar staff could answer simple questions about the food, as it is different from what is stated on the menu than on the app and can only order from the app, Added 10% hidden service charge which I asked to be removed and was refused, so did not order food as not paying a compulsory 10% service charge for rubbish service, which I thought was actually illegal and is not stated in the table menu anywhere, and have to order yourself anyway, overpriced now, pushing out locals, not worth the visit, unless your a millionaire

Well, this was an unusual experience. The fans of the soccer club Bayer 04 Leverkusen decided to use this venue as the meeting point before the important Europa league match against West Ham in the nearby London Stadium. We arrived just after 4 in the afternoon and the place was absolutely packed with football supporters drinking copious amounts of either Italian or French lager out of plastic beakers. No other beer was available. Some partook in the snacks on offer. There was quite a lot of space outside in the beer garden area but that was jam packed with expectant supporters. Many of us spilled out onto Victoria Park, milling with the good natured bouncers and police. I was surprised how quickly I got our drinks despite the scrum to get to any of the bar positions. All staff were good natured and took the onslaught in their stride. Then, some time later the signal was given and we started our march to the stadium leaving the pub to pick up the pieces...

The pub is nice but the app/qr system doesn't work. We went there for a roast. We could only order drinks at the bar but food from the app. Made no sense. Then the app overcharged us by 16% service. There's a weird extra charge on top of service. If orders were taken at the table with questions about dietarys etc I wouldn't mind but there is minimal interaction with staff. The food is what you'd expect for an £18 roast. The waitress was however polite but they need to sort their system out as it's unnecessarily complicated.

We're all used to nights out being ruined by bouncers. It's a very pleasant surprise for it to be my made by one. A wonderful evening. Alexei is the boss.

It seems because they have a nice outdoor space they think they don’t have to bother with anything else. Awful selection of drinks couldn’t get a Bloody Mary on a Sunday and the food was the real issue. £15.50 for a below standard burger and some chips on a paper plate , £16.50 for beef brisket that was chewy dry and not edible with some mediocre salad and tasteless Mac n cheese. Truly awful. If these were £10 a pop I could handle it but to charge restaurant prices and serve very bad food simply isn’t on . You’re ripping people off simple as that. Sort it out

Let me start by saying I hardly every write reviews for any place, but truly I will never go to this pub again, and will ensure the message is spread far across my network to not make a booking here ever; for those wanting a short summary do not at any cost try to make plans at this pub, look at all the much much better places nearby. I made birthday plans at PPT 5 weeks in advance ago, aiming to invite 15 people, but settling on booking a table of 12 as that was all that was available as one table, with a further separate table being booked by a friend for others with no issues, and our deposit being taken. Yesterday with only 2 weeks to the day, the pub cancelled my booking with no warning or explanation, even despite me asking a number of times through emails and calls – a last minute cancellation with zero courtesy. This has to be one of the most unprofessional moments I have ever encountered in my life, I would like to ask management staff how they would find being treated in such a way, having been organised by booking tables 7 weeks in advance, told and invited many friends, to have a booking cancelled so late in the day? In the space of 2 hours of scrambling around to rearrange birthday plans yesterday, I other venues around Hackney Wick have empathised and offered seating for all my party (calling out Four Thieves East and Barge East for being particularly warm and receptive!). In COVID times, it's really strange a pub would operate in such an unprofessional manner, a) cancelling a booking so late in the day when it was made 5 weeks ago, b) not bothering to call before cancelling to explain, apologise, or even reason (not even outside of government guidelines, which allow up to 30 people seated outdoors from Monday!)...Seeing other reviews below, the awful management experience is clearly shared by others… With everything that is happening in the BAME community I feel I should flag that I have had Caucasian friends tell me yesterday they have not had any issues before… I can’t help but wonder if that my friend and I that have booked with very much South Asian names, have been treated with such disrespect, and in my view worse and differently than others. Very sad that there are places with such ways of operating today.To summarise for others reading this review, if you are looking to plan celebrations or events with friends, save yourself the time and look 10 mins West in London Fields, or 10 mins East in Hackney Wick, there are FAR FAR more accommodating places where you will get a much better experience! Will never return to PPT for sure again, one of the few truly unprofessional venues I have ever encountered (I wish I had read other peoples reviews here before booking…)

Overpriced, mediocre food. Rude and unhelpful staff. Drinks were virtually chucked onto the table. No cutlery offered, wasn’t provided mean when requested. Don’t waste your time or money.

To be absolutely honest. I’ve grown up in this pub since I was a little girl. I went today for the first time since lockdown was really looking forward to it however when we first meet the front of house contact - surely you are supposed to be welcomed with a nice approach and atmosphere but we didn’t get that. There was a lady with brown hair on the 23/04/2021 who was so rude. The first contact when you enter a pub should be nice and bubble no?? Didn’t seem like she liked her job with her terrible customer service. She was rude and dismissive and I think she thought she was Boris Johnson? When you work a job like this for starters you should be happy and smiley not miserable and rude.Food was majorly overpriced - we got charged twice for food that had already been ordered. Far too strict for people’s park tavern Where has the fun gone The kind bubbly workers You had staff running round like headless chickens and also too many workers in the pub. Everything is sheltered off so when you reserve you cannot pick to sit in the sun and they make you wear mask or you cannot enter the outside garden??? The pub is not how it used to be - it’s sad because you don’t feel welcomed but it’s such a beautiful area it’s actually a shame.

A once nice pub that is now trading taking advantage of covid rules and trading on a past reputation and location to take advantage of its customers, who it believes exist to serve its bloated management rather it to serve them. If you want awful food, even worse service, overpriced beer brewed onsite that is not sold elsewhere for a reason (it is rubbish), then this is the place for you - but please write to them several days in advance explaining your exact order unless you want microwaved burgers for £14. Oh and then express joy and gratitude for even being allowed to enter their hallowed walls, such will the staff treat you as if you're lucky to be there rather than they lucky to have you. DOWN THE ROAD ARE FOUR FAR SUPERIORS PUBS FOR FOOD, DRINK AND ATMOSPHERE - HECTOR & NOBLE, THE LAURISTON, THE HEMMINGWAY, THE EMPRESS - GO TO THEM!

The food isn’t the best and service not great but a great place to hang with friends as they have lots of lovely outdoor space. Perfect for beers!

Been here before for drinks, love the atmosphere and the staff is also really kind. Last Sunday I decided to have a roast with a few friends. We ordered two vegetarian options and two roast beef. When the waitress brought our food over, the plates looked really unappealing, an impression which was then confirmed once we started eating. The meat was chewy and overcooked, the vegetables were dry and probably cooked a few days beforehand. The Yorkshire pudding was also not very pleasant. Everything was topped by a tasteless sauce that I surely cannot call gravy and which looked disgusting. We were all starving so we ate, the vegetarian option was not so bad. I normally never write negative reviews but paying £18 for such an awful dish is just a joke. A real shame for such a nice place.

Me encanta esta cervecería al aire libre durante muchos años. Conocí a la familia para una cita para almorzar como un día glorioso. La comida era buena pero el orden estaba mal, el barman fue grosero, confrontativo y claramente no tenía un buen día. La experiencia que tuvimos me dejó casi llorando. Si está buscando una comida o bebida relajante, evítelo. No es aceptable servir bebidas en vasos de plástico. Entiendo que Covid ha cambiado las cosas, pero todavía espero un vaso para beber mi vino, especialmente cuando pago una prima alta. No hay servicio de atención al cliente.

La aplicación para pedir bebidas no funcionó, tomó 40 minutos para tomar una bebida.El vino a los 26 la botella es una broma. . vino de la casa baratoBonito jardín de cerveza, pero hazte un favor y camina cinco minutos hasta el Royal InnMiembro australiano muy grosero del personal. . . evitar

We decided to have a small gathering of close family and friends to celebrate our wedding in the green house in the back. The staff could not have been more helpful for our party and event. The food was great and the drinks were flowing. Glad we choose Peoples Park for our event and that the staff were so helpful! Highly reccomend

Booked a table for ten for 2:30 on a Sunday afternoon; when we arrived we were told there were no roasts left, other than nut roasts. Offered beef burgers as an alternative but very disappointed.

Vine aquí con algunos amigos para celebrar mi cumpleaños y el personal no podría ser más servicial. Aparecimos y originalmente nos pusieron en un banco pequeño, a pesar de que reservamos para 12 personas, por lo que nos trasladaron a un área exterior con muchos asientos. El personal no podría haber hecho más para que nos sintiéramos bienvenidos, trayendo muchos cubiertos y platos para cortar el pastel que habíamos traído con nosotros. Dentro del fotomatón había un gran toque (¡pero sería bueno tener una cortina ...!) En general, el único problema negativo fue el fuego que levantaron por la noche afuera: emitía un calor mínimo a menos que prácticamente estuvieras tocando la jaula, ¡pero activé el asma de mi amigo y 3 días después todavía huele a humo!

Attitude of staff is terrible. Everything is such an effort. Would never go back again. Management could do so much better with this place.

Just stopped here for a pint after a walk in tve park and as usual got overcharged. No receipt ever given and ALWAYS get cherged incorrectly. Third time. Very convenient indeed

Had a disgusting espresso martini that we paid £9 each for. It came half full and when we complained they said that’s how they serve them here, but if we wanted they could top us up for an extra £9. Management were useless and unhelpful and we had to leave. Drink was truly disgusting.

Same old story for this pub am afraid. They had a very limited bar as always, only 1/4 of their own beers on top, no Guinness, no cider. The band set up and the speakers were very loud where we were sitting, asked three times to have them turned down only to be told "The bar is only 10 seconds away, you could just ask yourself". Been to this pub a few times and every time I think it will change. Unfortunately not, still takes ages to get served and you'll be lucky if they have the drink you want. Food was nice though, although the waiters kept complaining about the plates being too hot, you could get them some gloves or towels?! Just a thought...sounds like staff aren't happy there judging by the reviews

Most of the staff seemed confused like they weren’t sure what they were doing management seems off aswell All the food is very overpriced for what you’re actually getting. Very oily & cold. I’m avoiding in the future

What a lovely Sunday roast. Very friendly staff and nice atmosphere I well recommend people’s park tavern .

Vine aquí hoy con mi hermano y amigo. La comida era muy buena y no tengo quejas. Nos sentamos afuera, que es una zona muy bonita.Sin embargo, el miembro del personal que tomó el pedido de comida detrás de la caja parecía confundido. Y esto fue seguido por dos camareras que parecían confundidas de que estaban trayendo comida a la mesa. Quien tampoco trajo suficientes cubiertos, así que tuvieron que preguntarles. ¡El personal parecía comportarse como si fuera su primer día!

We chose People's Park Tavern for our summer social. We started with a private quiz hosted by James and then we had plenty of yummy food and drinks in their fantastic garden. Would recommend this place for any team activities! Great atmosphere.

If you are exploring Victoria Park and want to grab a beer and a snack, The People's Park Tavern is a good option. Simple and unpretentious with outside tables. It can get very busy so plan accordingly!

Hace unos años, The People's Park Tavern fue nuestro "ir al pub" si visitábamos Victoria Park o el área de Hackney. Idealmente ubicado en el lado norte del parque Victoria, contaba con una interesante variedad de cervezas reales (¿algunas elaboradas en el lugar en ese momento?) Además de un gran y agradable jardín que daba al parque, ¿qué no le gusta? Entonces, de repente, un "genio" tuvo la idea de convertir la mayoría del jardín de los pubs en un campo de golf loco, en este punto dejamos de ir. Sin embargo, dado que ayer salimos a caminar por la zona, decidimos probar el pub otra vez. La buena noticia es que el golf loco se ha ido; la mala noticia es que el jardín ahora parece estar siendo utilizado como sitio para algún intento de récord mundial para ver cuántos bancos se pueden exprimir en el espacio disponible. De todos modos, esto no nos disuadió de entrar y pedir dos pintas de PPA de Laines, por lo que me cobraron el asombroso precio de 11. 20 (o incluso 11. 40 - ¡Lo comprobaré cuando llegue la factura de mi tarjeta de crédito!). Siendo esto al menos 5. 60 cada uno para pintas de cerveza de calidad mediocre (barril), no la cerveza artesanal generalmente más cara. ¿Nos quedamos para otra bebida? No, nos dirigimos hacia el oeste a través del parque hasta el Royal Inn On The Park, donde la cerveza es al menos 1 por pinta más barata y de mejor calidad.

It took us an age to TRY and get in this place on a Saturday night, and the doorman was an absolute... I can't even put it in words. Rude obnoxious and arrogant doesn't even start. I can only assume it was his first night and that he will get fired soon. What a shame he let this place down, as it could have been a good night.

We were here for a family members 30th birthday celebrations. There were some younger children in our party and all the parents were aware that children had to vacate the premises by 7pm.

The People's Park Tavern is one of my local pubs, and it's a huge place with a lovely large garden and it's own craft beer microbrewery. This makes it very appealing.

Whatever you do, do not get hoodwinked into eating here. I feel sorry imagining anyone who would in good grace arrange a nice meal with a partner, family or group of mates, only to take them here and be sorely disappointed, and frankly, ripped off.

Great venue, great environment (in the middle of the park!), great service... Really pleasant atmosphere!

Very disorganised and unfriendly staff at the bar. Will not be returning. Not enough staff for a Sunday and the staff that were there were unpleasant.

Shame as the pub itself is nice and staff pleasant on the day we visited.

Hosted my Bday Party during saturday for luch and beer Nice palce, good food very nice moment with my friends Thanks for everything

We quite enjoyed the ambiance and the diversity of customers, including young families. The service inside was good, as it was the selection of beers, but food choices seemed fairly limited even for a pub. The outside is in any case simply brilliant and full of life.

Threw a surprise party for my fiance here and it was amazing - such a mix of friends (some with babies, some with dogs, some that love to party) and it was the perfect venue for it. The staff are super chilled and were happy to accomodate for us. This bar is one of my favourite places in London as it backs on to Victoria Park and gives people the freedom to come in and out. Would definitely recommend this place & everyone was raving about coming back in the summer so look forward to it.

Hosted my partner's 50th birthday there. Made reservations for 30, was only given 3 small tables. Put money behind the bar to start a tab for our guests, but bar staff didn't know what to do with the wristbands they gave us so had to get managers involved for guests to get drinks. No toilet paper in the toilets. Drunk girls were passing each other tissues from their purses. Reserved tables from 6pm to close but they neglected to mention the garden closes at 10:30. Their staff proceeded to outright YELL at us repeatedly while attempting to physically herd us inside the crowded bar, not even giving us enough time to properly gather our things before being sharp, loud, condescending and rude. Meanwhile, the owners of the bar and their friends sat happily outside in a large group while everyone else was herded like cattle into the impossibly loud and crowded inside space. Not worth it for the beer garden experience. Much more sensible and sane to take a cooler to the park.

The food is basic but very expensive. The staff have no concept of customer service. The beer garden is great but it started to rain so we went inside. When the inside filled up they turned the music up so high conversation was impossible. I complained and asked if they could turn it down a little and was told that ‘management said it was a club night so it couldn’t be turned down’. Dreadful. Will not return and will urge others not to visit.

Really recommend the Bingo Bottomless Brunch at People's Park Tavern! Generous brunch, great entertainment and friendly staff that allowed us to put up a couple of decorations. Great way to kick off hen celebrations, or any sort of group party!

I was a big fan of this place and this still remains, it has all the potential - great atmosphere, hip and trendy etc. However, I have chosen to ignore the following until now; my visit on Sunday was the last straw.

Came here to celebrate a friend's birthday over the bank holiday weekend, and have never been to such a chaotic pub. There were two people behind the bar, and approximately 60 on the other side, waiting to be served. On average it took 45mins to be served, and this was a constant from 3pm, well into the evening. The guys sat on the table next to us waited2hrs for thier food and were given free crisps as compensation. The only saving grace is the great beer garden. But otherwise, not a great experience at all!

Waited for almost two hours for food, constantly being told that it there was over an hour wait for food. If we were initially told this was the case we would never have ordered. We left after two hours of not receiving our food. Worst service I’ve ever experienced.

We headed to the People’s Park Tavern for drinks for a friends birthday on a Saturday night and whilst we’d had a few drinks the staff were lovely, there were plenty of seats and the DJ was playing some serious crowd pleasers (mostly 80s music!).

I came here with my friends for my birthday and honestly had the BEST day! Such a good vibe and prices good. Highly recommend and will definitely be back xoxox

Came here for a friends birthday on a Saturday night. Pub is nice inside, very dark though. It has a massive outside area with a big tent in the middle, in the summer I can imagine it is the place to be. Be prepared for long waits at the bar, and when you’ve been waiting at the bar for ages and the staff serve everyone apart from you, then new people get to the bar and get served before you - so annoying. Also I think all the staff should make sure they know what time the kitchen stops doing food as I tried to order some food at 9.15 and was told the kitchen was closed and then when I asked another member of staff they said the kitchen closed at 10???

Unless you like paying £6.50 for a tiny portion of frozen chips with some unmelted packet cheese on I suggest you go elsewhere.

Un pub increíble en una excelente ubicación, pero decepcionado por el personal y la organización en el día!

La comida era realmente encantadora, al igual que el ambiente. He estado viniendo aquí un tiempo y volveré.

(Lo siento, esta reseña es larga, pero solo quería dar una cuenta completa para que pueda obtener la idea)

Vine aquí después del funeral de un familiar cercano y tengo que decir que el personal fue fantástico. Dadas las circunstancias emocionales, todos fueron muy amables y profesionales. Un agradable pub con un gran jardín de cerveza en la parte trasera. Definitivamente volveré a visitar la próxima vez que esté en Londres

Booked a table explicitly to watch the 6 Nations in the Greenhaus but the screen was absolutely laughable, couldn't see a thing, everyone just had to give up. I had dragged all my friends there to see it so it was nearly a disaster BUT on raising it they did find space for us inside where we could see a screen and had a decent Sunday roast. The staff were excellent, it's just a shame they advertise showing the games on a big screen but it's really not up to scratch. Will be back :)

Excellent atmosphere, lovely staff, fab food. Love coming here with friends. Very easy to reserve an area, dog friendly too which is a bonus!

We had a fantastic evening here. Vegan fish and chips and cod and chips where all lovely and with the fantastic discount 4 of us ate for just over £20. It was my Mums bday and she enjoyed herself. Fun taking pics in the photobooth, lots of games to play and a great gardens with heaters to chill in. Bar staff really friendly, funny and accommodating.

Such a cool pub and have 50% of food all January! Plus loads of vegan options I couldn’t choose! Lovely garden area , will be back!

I understand that things sometimes go wrong, but when they do staff need to say sorry rather than deflect blame o to customers who spend a lot of money. This place does terrible food and the service is terrible too. We live locally and will most definitely not return. Dont bother, go to the Hemingway instead.

I had booked a table of 7 for a late lunch the Saturday before Christmas. Their Christmas menu seemed the best in the area so that was the main reason for the booking. We arrived and were told that no table had been set up because they weren’t busy and we could sit anywhere - fine - but then, even with the Christmas menu on the website and every single menu in the pub, they weren’t serving it. It seemed that the Christmas menu was for Christmas bookings made in advance. Not really sure how a booking for 7 people for the Saturday 3 days before Christmas did not recognise as this. In the end, we all had to settle for burgers and such, which, although being good themselves, was just disappointing in the grand scheme of things.

I came here with family last Saturday and had the worst vegan meal I have ever encountered... and I've tried a lot.

Came with a group of friends wanting a roast together and booked in advance. Firstly, they were out of the seitan Veggie option, which is why we chose this venue in the first place. Secondly, you have to order food at the bar (not told to us at time of booking), and as we wanted to split the bill this resulted in separate tickets going to the kitchen. One friend got their meal after 30 minutes. 4 of us got theirs after 60 minutes. The remaining 4 got theirs after an hour and 15 minutes. Unsatisfactory "sorry we're busy" response from servers when we enquired as to the whereabouts of the remaining meals.i expect better for £18 per meal.

We had an incredible evening in the Private function room of people's park tavern. A great space on the top floor for a private party. We had great food with music followed by an excellent silent disco with a private bar. The staff are wonderful and ensured we had a great time. Amazing venue, would highly recommend

Absolutely hands down the worst pub food we have eaten in years.. £18 for a roast. We eat out every Sunday and are used to paying this kid of price - but we expect a certain level of cooking not something resembling a microwaved Wetherspoons special. The beef was grey, dry and horrendously overcooked. The chicken they insisted had been cooked that day but I doubt it, it was as dry as an old shoe. We left our plates barely touched and complained that the food was terrible. The manager couldn’t be bothered to come and see us herself, instead one of the bar staff said they were unable to offer us any compensation. Later on they came back to say we could have a free drink but by then we had decided to go somewhere else.

Great place to host a b-day; my 4-yr-old daughter and her 15 friends had a blast. Staff was very accommodating, snacks were perfect, space was ideal.

Booked this for a bday get together inc quite a few toddlers and it worked out perfect. The team were v friendly and accommodating, the space is cool but still kid friendly, the beer and food is delicious. And the Cat is fab and owns the place!

Great beer garden, numerous seating opportunities.

Came here for Saturday brunch and it was great. Really nice food and I discovered that i really love Mimosas :) We had to leave late afternoon but will definitely go back again as it must be good at night. Lovely marquee in the garden.

Great place !! Service was incredible, lovely people. The best environment to go to, definitely would recommend.

Had a lovely time at PPT on Saturday. I didn't realise they've put up the marquee already. Always loved this pub, and they seem to keep making it better and better every year.

I arranged my boyfriend’s surprise birthday party on Saturday and had the best night ever. Their burgers are insane, loads of beer options and music was bang on. Will definitely go back.

I loved coming here over the summer with the big garden in the sun and the People's Park Tavern have kept it up by creating a huge outdoor heated marquee for the winter months ! great idea and very cosy, cant wait to come back!

I came here for my friend’s birthday, we had a booking,everything was organized perfectly, the stuff made us feel right at home & the food was super delicious! The burgers were very large, good value for money!

It's been really nice to have the full pub experience in an outside space like the People's Park Tavern garden. Really exceptional beer made onsite, good food, and nice bartenders. It gets super busy in the summer, so these warm autumn days have been perfect for a relaxing afternoon in the open air. It's a decent winter pub too though - lots of different spaces.

A pub that backs onto Victoria Park? Count me in. Oh, and it’s got a brewery as part of it? And a massive beer garden? What’s not to like. They’re nice and friendly, and the food is decent, and there’s loads of stuff happening. Feels like a pub that really putting the effort in. I actually prefer it in the winter when the summer crowds have dissipated a little.

A lovely day, a great location and lots of family friendly space in the garden. This should be one of the best pubs around. Shame that the huge queue for the bar and the grumpy service really let it down. We didn't stay long and moved to somewhere else.

First time to the pub and what a find. Right on Victoria Park. A larger than expected interior and large garden with covered areas and crazy golf too. Good selection of craft beers with some ales brewed on site. The Ripper IPA is my recommendation. Will definitely go back with friends and enjoy the late night DJ sets.

10 of us went for a Sunday celebration lunch, booked a table, had to wait ages to find someone to show us to it. Once ordered, meal took ages to come (about an hr and a half), it was cold and the meat was sinewy and veiny. By the time it got to pudding time the kitchen was closed. Not recommended.

I used to live locally and love this pub. Great both inside & outside, days & evenings, and a must after a park run. Love they are always doing something new.

The food and service were pretty decent when we came here on Saturday for a friends's birthday party in the upstairs space. However, 24 hours later 20 of the 40 people there had really bad food poisoning, including me - worst I've ever had and had to take time off work. Turns out it's got terrible food hygiene scores (1 out of 5) but they have refused to take any responsibility for the experience which is so obviously linked to their kitchens. They don't seem to have any interest in making sure no one else gets violently ill, so I'd give it a sharp miss.

I along with 15 friends all came down with severe food poisoning after eating from a buffet at the Peoples Park Tavern on Saturday. The tavern have refused to take any responsibility despite so many of us being so ill.

Came with some friends for a bottomless brunch, the food was great but they were a little slow at bringing the drinks over. We asked a few times and it still took about 10 minutes for the round to come. Apart from that the staff were great and very friendly and loved the venue!

Nice place but the portions are small for the price. The ribs had very little meat, vegan burger was awful and the salad was tiny!

I came here on a midweek afternoon with my wife and nephew. We didn't eat but enjoyed several drinks in the lovely, quite large pub garden. The inside of the venue's very quirky with a "shabby chic" decor.

The place is ok, nice garden outside. But....the food is really OVERPRICED. I had a burger with chips, it was just a common burger (I have even asked if they could add bacon and the answer was:”We don’t do bacon.”. It was really nothing special compared to the other burgers I’ve had in London. It was £15.50!!!!!!! A really expensive burger and the size was quite small. The selection of food is very poor. I was very disappointed. Don’t buy food in there, better to have something in another place (it will be better food and cheaper for sure!!) and go to the People’s Park Tavern only for drinks!!!

Drinks were fine and staff organised tables for our group, however that is where the level of hospitality stopped. Pub is okay and garden space large.

We were a group of girls booked in for the bottomless brunch. Booking was a bit of a pain as I was told I needed to pay for our party beforehand and had to be sent a payment link which ended up being problematic.

He reservado una zona en el jardín para mi bebidas cumpleaños. Nos dieron unos 15 y una de las casitas en el jardín. Estaba muy concurrido, pero fueron muy rápidos para servirnos, la comida era deliciosa, la música era genial y todo el mundo tenía un fantástico tiempo :)

Alquilamos la zona fuera de PPT para nuestro trabajo de partido de verano. Gas lacrimógeno y el resto del equipo en la taberna era muy servicial, nada era demasiado problema. Hay 250 en total, la comida era rápida y deliciosa y todos lo pasamos genial. Gracias por una tarde fabulosa!

Came here for drinks with friends and was a great atmosphere in the garden. Good selection of beer and friendly staff. Ordered a chicken burger and it was delicious.

Gracias al equipo en la taberna. Teníamos un grupo de trabajo 38 (verano) y barbacoa eran las más fáciles de trabajar con antes y durnig nuestro evento. Tuvimos tiempo así que el Pub estaba amanzing lleno, pero reservó una gran mesa para nosotros, tenía son vales de barbacoa y bebida preparada y todos nos lo pasamos de maravilla. Gracias por todo!

I had a group booking for my bday and the host guy in the beer garden was great, he was very accommodating. 5 stars just for him.

Lovely atmosphere! The beer garden is the best thing about this place. Perfect for a sunny day drinking with friends. Food menu is good but overpriced. Service isn't that great and neither is the cleanliness of the bathrooms.

Great place for a nice weather. However, the drinks and food are quite pricey. The worst things is that at 11 pm the beer garden is closing, therefore everyone is squeezed inside.

Always enjoying stopping here when cycling around the north east of London, has a one of the best beer gardens in London! Quite expensive but what do you expect?

Pedimos hamburguesas de carne que no estaban tan bien. Servicio tampoco era amable. Larga Cola de señoras wc, donde 2 de los 4 loos estaban fuera de servicio y los baños olían bastante mal (pee). . . Pero un jardín muy agradable, así que ¿por qué no beber una cerveza o unos pocos! Volvería de nuevo en un día soleado para beber cerveza con amigos!

La comida solía ser muy bueno y excelente relación calidad-precio, con un menú interesante y variado, se sirve en el pub en sí. Por desgracia, me cambian el menú y la comida se sirve hoy de un pop up en el jardín. El personal es antipático, los precios son más altos y la calidad de la comida ha bajado notablemente. Una lástima.

Yo había reservado una zona para 15 amigos y me dieron una banco que satisfizo 6 personas en 8 si eran realmente exprimido.

I love this pub, my friends and I come here regularly and have a great time doing the pub quiz or playing crazy golf. It's especially lively at the weekends. They used to have a great food menu but they've changed it recently so it's very expensive and not very good food so I'd recommend eating somewhere else.

We came to the People's Park Tavern just for a game of 'Plonk Golf.' What a laugh we had - nine holes of super-crazy golf in the pub garden set amongst water features , South Sea Island huts and heads, and all other manner of over-the-top decorations.

Świetne miejsce z dużym ogrodem, gdzie przy ładnej pogodzie może bawić się naprawdę sporo osób. Jest grill, bar, w środku nawet prowizoryczny parkiet - w weekendy trwa tu niezła impreza. Spodziewałam się spokojnego, trochę nawet smętnego miejsca, a byłam pozytywnie zaskoczona.

I have been very surprised by recent negative reviews of what to me is a wonderful pub. The staff have always been very welcoming and friendly. Love the food ,the wonderful sunny beer garden and location amongst the trees !
