FancyaPint?'s review...
The Pub on the Park's prominent placement within London Fields, is both this pub's key feature and its Achilles' heel. On a weekday in summer it's a nice enough place to be. It's a simple, straightforward local. There are a few real ales (unfortunately only a couple on the five hand hand pumps on our last visit), a few continental beers, lagers wines and spirits and a pretty good food (and reasonably-priced) menu. Although the pub's in a Victorian building, it's an open, airy sort of place, especially when it's warm enough to throw the windows and doors open and, with the terrace looking out over the park, there's usually plenty of room. Weekends, especially bank holiday weekends, it's the usual story with the pub getting pretty crowded and the usual slow service you get here, becoming even slower. On the plus side, when it is busy, you can get your drink in a plastic and sit in the park. But then of course you're no longer in the pub. Also on the plus side are the summer barbecues, plenty screens for the TV sport and Sunday roasts - if you're prepared to wait. The Pub on the Park is a bit of a mixed bag, excellent at times, frustrating at others and a welcome respite from the relentless gastroism of many other pubs around here.

I live near the pub and went in on Monday evening. I have been informed that it has been taken over by new management. This was clearly visible as the place was buzzing with a great atmosphere.. All the new staff and managerss where so nice and the bbq outside was great. The food has improved according to my friend who called in for lunch. Smashing place to go now..Looking forward to plenty of sunny days in this place!

In summer 2007 I visited the the Pub On The Park, Hackney. I was quite unsatisfied with the food, mainly due to the amount. Otherwise it was OK, nothing special though. Today I took my son for a sunday roast. I was disgusted not only with the food but with the management's reaction. The food was overcooked and quite disgusting. The potatoes were black! When I complained the proprietor just sneered and offered nothing in the way of an apology. We had paid when we ordered so we were well roasted! If you want my opinion I wouldn't feed their food to a dog. I went for a treat and left furious. We then cycled across the park to Broadway market where we found the food at the pub on the corner GREATLY superior, oh and edible. I say, if you are hungry avoid the Pub On the Park like the plague. If you think I am being unfair - go eat there. xx
