The Park Tavern, Southfields

This pub is one of the most beautiful in the area, with a traditional feel and incredibly welcoming staff.

We recently held one of our charity fundraisers at The PT and nothing was too much trouble for the team - they were organised, conscientious and kept smiling on what was a busy and very warm night!

The venue itself is decorated with wood pannelling, which makes for a rustic, old school feel. Both gardens (front and back) are well-kept, with an undercover area for when it gets too hot (so rarely in London!). There's plenty of seating and it seems like they're fairly busy as there's often reservation signs on the tables.

The food is just what you'd expect - good, honest pub food. Perhaps the menu could be a little more inventive but at least you know what you're getting. This summer's additions of salads and more seasonal dishes was a welcome change, though their burgers and pizzas are still delicious.

Definitely one of my local favourites, and perfect for functions and the not so occasional glass of wine!
