| The bar in the back function room is worth a visit just in itself as it really is quite stunning. It's a shame that it's not always open because I'd love to spend a lazy afternoon sitting at it. Equally, the beer garden is large and well kept and great for the summer. As has been said before the building is lovely, but frankly the front bar is just , well, depressing. It's a room with chairs and tables and a small bar with not particulaly much to choose from. Also, the last time I was in all the TVs - and they are large screens - were showing the National Geographic channel. Which is all very fine and worthy, but seriously, if I'm having a beer I really don't want to be surrounded by four screens showing a documentary on the giant snakes of the amazon. As pubs go it meets my basic requirements, but I just can't for the life of me understand why more isn't being done with the place. RedRed - 4 Mar 2010 12:15 |
| Where do you begin with a pub like The Bush Hill Park Hotel? I have a soft spot for the place and there is much to commend it, but it is alas far from perfect and your experience of the place on any given visit may differ radically from your previous call. The plus sides are that it is a lovely building, and in the lesser used back room (primarily reserved for functions and bands), this shines through and the place is nearly as visually pleasing inside as the exterior might lead you to expect. The main bar is however a little bit worn and tired looking. The range of drinks is nothing to write home about and hardcore CAMRA members will doubtless leave disappointed and empty handed, but the lagers served are normally cold and the quality well maintained. Prices are ok. Service is generally pretty good. So far, so average. I have been in this pub on a quiet night, and on those nights quiet is a word that barely does the sobering lack of atmosphere justice, it is at least trouble-free which distinguishes it from other Bush Hill Park boozers, but doesn't have much of a "buzz" about it. However, I have also enjoyed nights in here (such as when they ran regular Rock nights for a while with various local bands playing live) that show what this pub can be like when more densely populated and very good it is on such occasions. In short, busy nights light this place up like a Christmas Tree and it becomes a good place to spend a night. Unless you are feeling particularly maudlin and want to keep yourself to yourself it is perhaps best avoided at other times. Hope that it stays around an plays to its stengths (community centre of a pub, very good for live music) and doesn't join the ever-growing ranks of half-decent pubs sold off to developers!

| enterprise inns want to sell this drinking hole off! let them know that this is the centre of a strong community, and that if they succeed, over 100 people who are locals will object (planning permission) to any change of use of a 110 year old place of gathering,socialising,partying and friendship, this will never be an attractive proposition for a "developer" "community pubs" (look them up) are our social clubs. Fight for your Beer......support your extended home! also check out Prince of Wales Trust (Business in the community)/CAMERA. they are on our side. paddyb - 18 Aug 2009 01:18 |
| I have a certain affinity with the Bush Hill Park Hotel as it was the location of my first ever pint, after being sneaked into the garden by my dad and uncle at the tender age of 14. Fortunately that first pint of Whitbred Trophy didn’t put me off for life. It’s a late Victorian train station hotel, built in 1897, which wasn’t the smartest pub in my early youth and it still isn’t. The Edwardian central wooden bar service area (similar to the one in the now sadly closed Kings Head in the Enfield Town market square) has long since disappeared, ripped out in some previous less than sympathetic refurb , which has left the BHP Hotel a fairly soulless and character less one bar pub. The beer choice has also not improved and John Smiths on Keg is as good as it gets. So if your in BHP and fancy a quick drink, then probably OK , otherwise not worth going out of your way for.
