The Ealing Park Tavern

reading the reviews below i was shocked. ive eating many a times at the ealing park tavern and i will continue to do so.

Me and my friends ate here for her birthday as the food is always outstanding. i ate the steak, which was the best steak ive eaten, and was surprised to hear that the meat is hung on the actual premises, how fresh can you get?! my friend had the monkfish and she wanted more so i'll be taking her back for another sample!

as for the comments below i disagree. its also nice to have a relaxing bar to sit and have a few drinks in quietly, without people eating everywhere, hey thats why theres a restaurant also!! would recommend this gastro.

We will have to find an another pub to eat....

The food and the service used to be very nice but what we found when we went there a few days ago was an unfriendly staff (specially the manager, she was arrogant) and a lack of taste for the food.

The service was slow, we had to wait 30 mns to get our starters and they didn't worth the wait, and about the same time to get our mains whitch we had to send back because the lamb of my husband was just a piece of fat, not meat and my monkfish was still row. When the manager gave us our mains back (with such arrogance!) the lamb dish was much better but my monkfish was overcooked and as I wanted to carry on with the meal I didn't sent it back.

Overall it wasn't a pleasant evening, took to long to get the food. Before they could pretend to be a gastro-pub but with the poor quality of food and service they provide at the moment I don't think so.

I might go back there for a drink but that's all, the pub is really nice but no more food.

Oh dear. What a difference new management makes.....

What used to be the best pub restaurant in the Ealing area is now most definately not. Seated in pub as restaurant was full - fine. No table service and 45 mins to get starters - not fine. Being asked if we wanted dessert before we'd even had mains - annoying! Took us about 2.5 hours to finish dinner, the red wine helped somewhat but not enough.

On top of this I had to send back my main twice - I never ever send food back! Venison was overcooked and the replacement steak ordered medium rare came to the table literally mooing. Really disappointing, only good point is that they comped us a bottle of red and one main (only fair seeing as i left without actually eating one!). My husbands steak was nice though and well cooked.

Have been told this pub - which used to be a delightful independently owned gem - has now been taken over by a big chain. Very sad. Might give it one more go though, purely because the food used to be simply lovely....

Decent pub but really, do they have to be so self-consciously 'gastro'? A group of us went along last night with clients and were keen to have some bar snacks along with our drinks. Without moving into the restaurant, the best they could do was olives and pistachio nuts- no crisps and certainly nothing that would keep us going all night, with the result that we left earlier (and more drunk) than we would have liked. Come on guys, stop being so stuck up and get yourself a bar menu.

Have been here a few times since it opened. The food was excellent, the only drawback being that it took quite a long time for the mains to arrive! highly recommended.

We have been here twice now and the food and service are excellent.

We had a 3 course meal for 4 today with a bottle of wine and a digestif and coffees all for £135. The sardines and mackerel were excellent, and the portions large - so often when you order fish you get a small fillet - these portions were really generous.

We had an Irish waiter who couldn't have been friendlier.

I must take issue with the reviewere who said they wanted background music!!! Please please do not have music in a pub/restaurant - I think it spols the atmosphere rather than enhances it, and usually I seem to end up sitting right by the speakers!

If you think the atmosphere is not good that is down to the staff/ambience and perhaps you not the lack of music.

Living Locally we were looking for a gastro pub on sunday so thought we could give the Ealing Park Tavern a go.

Decore is a bit dark wood and was reminiscent of a bernie inn, the pub is segregated from the restaurant and was populated with lots of middle aged suburbanites. Place has a very 'Next' casual clothing at the weekend feel.

To be honest food was average at best. Roast Beef was sold out by 7.30 (not good) but was an ok standard and generous portions.

Staff were great but the concierge was the sort of bloke that would not seat you if you were 5 minutes late.

Anyway at this price range i expected a little more.
