I seem to remember coming here around 15 years ago. Last night I returned but wasn't overly impressed. There were a fair few drinkers. But you could tell that the focus is still on food. 3 basic ales were on - Batemans Rosey Nosey, Courage Best & Sharps Doom Bar. The drinking environment is quite pleasant, with large windows, wood panelling with paintings and wooden floors. Ok, but nothing special.

Friendly staff, great food, relaxed atmosphere - what more could you want? Oh yes .... the oysters are superb, and the Sunday roast is scrummy - great gravy! The manager bends over backwards (on a good day!) to ensure all customers are well looked after. By the by, could someone post some better photos - these do not do the building justice, it's a fine old place!

Having recently been promoted I decided to treat some friends and family to dinner. I called and made a booking at the The Ealing Park Tavern for 6 people. I chose TEPT on recommendation of a colleague who had been there only a few days before. I have to say he was spot on! As soon as we walked in we were greeted by the manager (we initailly thought he was American) who confirmed our booking. I explained to him the reason for our booking and also that I had an extra 5 people to add to the booking.... He didn't bat an eyelid and simply said it wouldn't be a problem. He asked if I would give him a moment to re-arrange the table. We waited in the bar and had a few drinks. The lady behind the bar informed us that we could simply order drinks and then add them to the final bill once we've eaten in the dinning room. A couple of minutes later the manager appeared and informed us that our table was ready and we were welcome to it. We decided to chill in the beer garden for a bit and then move onto the restaurant. After finishing our drinks were taken to our table and there was more then enough room to accommodate all of us. We had a fanstatic meal from starters to desserts !The quality of the food came as a pleasant surprise, so much so that we approached the kitchen to personally thank the chef! I have never had a better tasting piece of cod! 10 out of 10 from me. The service was superb, and even though the dinning room was full, we never felt forgotten or abandoned by our server. We could tell that there was a way in which things were done to make everyone feel at ease. The attitude of the manager and staff were one in the same and there was a genuine feeling of pride in what they were doing. The best part of the evening was when it dawned on us that the restaurant had closed and we were the only ones left. The manager invited us to stay and relax as long as we liked. We moved in to the bar area to have another round of drinks. Although they were closed, they were very accomodating and allowed us to have a few more cocktails before we departed. As the manager was preparing drinks for us, one of the staff memebers (who had already finished her shift) came back around the bar to help him out! It was team work from start to finish! I had the best time that evening, and proudly told all of my friends via an email the following morning. I did some digging and found out that the managers name is Halo and the lady behind the bar is named Hayly. Thank you very much to the both of you, the chefs and the rest of the team! You capped off a great day for me. T.Devali

Sad to say this place is heading in the wrong direction. Have been eating and drinking there for many years but of late it's been ever more dissapointing.

Food is currently just-competent, but not exactly exciting or remotely VFM.

Wine - they used to do loads and loads of wines by the glass. Not any more.

They used to do a great range of ales. Not any more.

I passed by this very evening. There were less than a dozen people in the huge bar. A year ago there would have been 100+++.

There are so many other places that are better in every respect, I can't see we'll be going back any time soon. It's not a disaster, just nothing much to draw you there.

My partner and I have often frequented the PT for dinner and a nice bottle of wine and have always thought it an excellent (if pricey) pub. However, I was dismayed to see the current 'Scores on the Doors' food hygiene rating from March of this year: 0 stars out of 5. I can't quite believe they have the audacity to neglect that which could lead to serious food poisoning, especially considering how much they charge for the privilege of eating there.

I think that my local kebab van scored better...
