Park Tavern

Opening hours

The interior of this old naval pub has changed little over the years. The single bar room has a scrubbed floor and there is a raised seating area at the front of house. Shelves, on which drinks can be placed, run along the walls opposite the pub's island bar. A heavy bronze rail with decorative brackets in the shape of elephants' heads encircles the edge of the bar counter. An attractive, intricately-carved bar-back is surmounted by a number of barrels, from which a unique lighting system is attached by metal rods to illuminate the servery. Cast iron pillars support the ceiling of the bar room. To the rear of the pub is a dart board and a pool table, separated from the bar area by a balustrade. A jukebox is attached to the left-hand wall and a television (used to show sporting events) is suspended from the ceiling. Karaoke and discos are regularly held.
