There’s no doubt that this is a popular pub. On a Sunday lunch visit, every table in the dining room was full with families, with drinkers packing the large main bar and garden. The draw is an unfussy atmosphere: this is a proper, old-fashioned boozer that may have leaned towards gastropub, but not forgotten its roots.

There are nearly 20 wines by the glass, but real ales too (Sharps Doom Bar, say, or Brakspear’s bitter), and Pimm’s in the summer. Dark wood fittings mix with quirky pictures on the walls and mismatched tables.

The open kitchen is a low point – more school canteen than appealing – and make sure you avoid the table spotlit by the glowing heat lamps of the servery. Service throughout remained inattentive.

Food, on the other hand, was decent if not memorable. Modern gastropub dishes on a regularly changing menu include starters such as ‘textures’ of asparagus – a rather flavourless (but pleasant enough) green custard with a seasonal salad of peas, broad beans and parmesan. Mains run from steak to wild mushroom risotto; our fish and chips had good fish but disappointingly stodgy chips. Finish with something from the English cheese menu.

Service and general attitude disgraceful for such an expensive place - avoid it

Beware management greed and seeming duplicity. We had a very good meal with excellent service at the Ealing Park Tavern. We had noticed on the menu that there was a discretionary service charge and it appeared on the till receipt. However, the credit card receipt showed a line for ‘gratuity’ but with only noughts against it. When I asked why it didn’t show the £6.38 that we had paid under ‘service charge’, we learned that the money did not go to the staff, but to the owners. There is no tronc system. This seems to me decidedly greedy and possibly duplicitous. The words ‘service charge' would indicate that the money would go to the staff who had provided the service. The fact that the money goes to the owners is to my mind, wilfully misleading. ‘Owners’ charge would be more accurate. Thus, if you have had good food and service and wish to reward the staff directly, do not pay the discretionary service charge but leave cash for the staff instead. Greed should not be rewarded.

I have been going to The Ealing Park Tavern for quite sometime and have always enjoyed myself. This weekend was no different. The first thing that hit me was the apparent change in management and staff. Their was an aire of confidence and professionalism that I had never noticed before. I have to say I had an even bettter time this night than in the past. I Had dinner with a couple of friends and have to say the food was amazing! My lobster was possibly the best I've had in years and proved to be an excellent recommendation by the Manager. The service was second to none and impressed my friends to no end. The atmosphere was a bit subdued but i put that down to the lack of music in the dinning area. Given the quality of the food, the price we paid and the level of service I'll definetly be going back, and hopefully sooner than later. Good on you EPT, I'm proud to call you my local!!!

Absolutely awfull dining experience for the four of us. tue 29 mar,2011 Ran out of sea bass main course, ran out of salmon starter, Salad sent back as too salty , teacup dirty sent back. Had to settle for a pan fried haddock and chips as main course which although assured as substantial was very small tasteless portions. two starters, 4 mains one of which virtually a salad, two glass wine, 4 teas -£92 incl. serv. What a rip off. Never go there again
