Pub Layout Upon entry you will see that the pub has an open plan trade area that hosts a large bar servery to the right with loose tables and chairs and encompasses a prominent stage area to the front of the pub which is used for entertainment. Towards the back of the pub there is a large ornate staircase which leads up to a function room with its own bar servery, thus creating an independent trade space to the downstairs bar. There is also a fire escape from this room into the garden so capacity numbers are protected. Also on this floor, you will find the main trade kitchen which is well situated to prepare food for private functions. The beer garden is segmented into two distinct area. The first is a fixed, covered space with a pergola and a small external bar. The second garden area is a well maintained and developed zone with plants, shrubs and loose furniture.

Trading Style

The Park Tavern is a successful, wet-led community pub. With a stage being a prominent feature in the main trade space, there is a strong emphasis on weekly entertainment with live music being extremely popular with an open mic night on a Wednesday, live bands at the weekend and a music quiz every Sunday. The Park is a very popular local space for functions such as birthday parties, christenings and weddings, although at present the kitchen is only used to cater for these events.
