Peoples Park Tavern

PPT hosted us for a recent Unilocal event and I have to say I was mightily impressed! We spent the evening in their lovely beer garden, supping craft beers, and playing crazy golf at the Plonk course, which was all great, but for me the unexpected highlight was the food!
This was no beige buffet! The sausage rolls had different fillings in them — (one had things like chorizo, and another one which was pork and apple — seriously wow), then we tried chicken wings, chicken breast pieces, chargrilled vegetables and haloumi, mini fish and chips, a board of cured meats, bruschettas — everything was excellent!
Sure, it’s a bit of a mission from anywhere, and I did get bitten by an insect on my ankle a few times — but it was so worth the trip!
A perfect place to spend a sunny afternoon in London.

Even if everything was awful, this place deserves a 5 because of the outdoor seating and WIMBLEDON madness.
On two occasions I’ve come here to enjoy a pint of cider and some All England Club action! The atmosphere is incredible!
Great selection of ale and food. I think the food is not as good as the Crown (nearby) but the large outdoor seating area is too good to pass in the summer months.

The People’s Tavern does everything it says on the tin, it’s a tavern open for the community around it to go to. It’s nothing special but on a Saturday night it has a relaxed atmosphere with lively music.
We were in the upstairs room which you can reserve for functions. It’s actually a great space and has a pool and football table which people are free to enjoy. There’s also a bar and fridges full of different craft beers. Perfect for a social gathering or space to hold a medium sized event.
Having only been here at night, for a party, I’m not sure what it’s like in the day but it’s location (right by Victoria Park) is perfect for a Sunday pint.

Good beer. Even better location. Go when it’s summer time! Perched right by the park it’s defo one of my go to pubs to road out in during the sunshine times.

Terrible, expensive food. Rude staff. Plastic glasses for wine, and the most overpriced slab of meat I’ve ever had.
I paid £18.50 for a roast dinner. When it turned up, it was a tiny fatty slab of overcooked meat (see the picture). I decided to bring it up to the bar to ask if this was the normal portion of meat for an £18.50 roast dinner. I was told:
«It’s an expensive pub, what do you expect?»
I was a bit shocked, and then also pointed out the flat Yorkshire pudding. Without apology, I was told:
«If you don’t like it, I’ll give you a refund»
I took the refund, and was glad I did so. My friends reported that the roast potatoes were rock hard, the meat was overcooked and fatty and that that I was lucky to have got my money back.
AVOID. AVOID. AVOID.

I really liked the space, although it was pretty loud and smoky. Food was fine– chicken leg, people’s burger, and pork chop. I will say the chicken had a very strong «chicken» and «salt» flavor, not much else above that.

Man this meal was SO GOOD: Garlic, spinach and ricotta dumplings, roasted cauliflower, sultanas and pine nuts £10.50. Rich, creamy dumplings and the cauliflower had a lovely toasted tint. I could do with slightly less oil and larger portions but the meal is quite hearty. However, this is the second cheapest entrée on the menu so keep in mind it’s a pricier gastropub.

Firstly, the best thing about this place is the garden!!! It opens directly on to Vicky park and it’s huge. It has benches and booths all over so there is plenty of seating with funky little strip lights and ‘light bulbs’ hanging from the trees. There’s also an undercover area, an open fire pit, a food hut and a sound system that goes into the booths to really bring the indoor/​outdoor experience together.
There’s a micro brewery on site and although we didn’t taste it, the roast looked amazing! We are definitely planning a pit stop here after a wander around the park on a lovely sunny day!

Absolutely amazed by this Pub in the middle of Victoria Park. It’s acually pretty huge, especially the outside area. There are different seating areas, with loads of couches, plants fairy lights and even heater for the colder days. It’s super nice to have a Cider, not just in the summer! Especially noticed that this is apparently a place where families like to stop by with their little kids. Loved the atmosphere, will be back for sure!

Nice bar with a good choice of own brew beers, fabulous beer garden with views out to Victoria Park. Tried the burgers from the outside burger bar, was OK at best, not brilliant, would like to try the actual menu next time to compare as I’m sure that will be better. Love the place itself, quite roomy inside. I didn’t enjoy the craft beers that much, but I am choosy when it comes to beer. Great for the summer and a stroll around the park.

We met friends here on Sunday after the Hackney Half Marathon for drinks and lunch. It was really busy but we’d reserved a table so had plenty of space and seats. The food was amazing, not the cheapest roast (around £15) but it was gorgeous and came with enormous yorkshire pudding! Wide range of drinks, busy bar, but then it was an unusually busy day! The selling point of this place however is the beer garden. It’s enormous, has cute shade covered booths, tables in the sun, fake grass/​astroturf areas to sit on the floor and an outside bar. Best beer garden have been to in ages! Way friendlier and accessible than the beer garden in Pub on the Park in London Fields-​plus, it’s right next to Victoria Park. We may have found a new local :)

I just moved to the area and saw this place walking up to Victoria Park one day. Went in here last weekend to try some of their craft brew made on site with their own micro brewery. I tried the Amber Ale and Best which were both good and my boyfriend tried both IPA’s which were ok.
Expected them to be a bit more ‘out there’ in flavor just because they are their own brews but were pretty standard, still nice though! We also passed here today to see they have recently done up their garden bar with covered seating and a grass are with picnic style benches.
This place is beautiful on a sunny day over looking the park. The indoor space is nice too with plenty of space for larger groups. Looking forward to going back and trying some food!
