Tabard

I’ve lived in Chiswick for 8 years now but only been in here once years ago but only pass here going to work really but i was off today and was this way so thought we pop in,very glad we did,lovely cosy old pub like the ones in Coventry where I’m from,the food was delicious,chicken wings and steak and ale pie was lovely and there was 2 lovely girls behind the bar,and they charged my phone for me and there was a lovely young waitress,it’s just a lovely old English pub with good people and atmosphere which is hard to find these days,we will visit again,and I left a tip to the staff.

An exceptional pub attuned to the conventions of the hostelry industry with fare that doesn’t stray to far from expectations. A noteworthy beer and craft ale selection. But it’s the understated and functional interior here retaining much of the original late 19th.Century “Arts & Crafts” fittings and finishes that underpins much of the tone and metre here. Grade II Listed attributed to Norman Shaw (circa 1880) Distinctive and Distinguished.

This pub has grown on my husband and I and eventually became our much-appreciated local as we happened to have moved nearby. It is certainly a special place - very historic, with period features and original (?) tiling. Pub consists of multiple areas - two-sided bar, a small lowered cosy seating area, a dining more quiet area and the garden. There is a quaint little theater upstairs, and an arts school next door, and paddle tennis courts across the road, so the clientele is definitely very mixed, but coexists peacefully. Staff is hard-working and always welcoming, despite serving a large volume of customers. Some remember your drinks order which is always a thoughtful touch. I confess - I never ate there, the food looks like classic pub grub, but then again Tabard never claimed to be a gastropub. It features various entertainment activities (quiz, live music etc) and somebody runs their very wholesome instagram page.

The Tabard is a low key, locals pub, full of gregarious and exception characters. It supports the Theatre and St Michaels All Angels Church initiatives. A long stay venue for the Bedford Park Festival. Greene King owned it’s wears are standard. Typical mainstream brands served fast and well. Staff are well trained and positive. Its has split bars and sports a piano that is played. Patio style beer garden. Always a very pleasant experience.
