With summer in full swing, the pub has a beautiful, large beer garden that is perfect for sipping drinks under the sun and socialising with friends and family.

The pub also serve kids roasts and have a kid’s menu available throughout the week.
The pub has lots going on to keep you and your guests entertained, with regular live music nights, which is loved by the pub team and all the guests. If music is not your thing, then why not put your knowledge to the test at one of the pubs regular quizzes. Alternatively, the pub has darts facilities, which is perfect for some friendly sporting competition. Phil and the team offer a welcoming service to all their guests and are continuing to grow The London Tavern and maintain its important position of being at the centre of the local community.
Phil said: “I am honoured that we have been shortlisted as one of Stonegate’s Pub of the Year, it is something we all cannot believe. The team and I work incredibly hard to make the pub as great as it can be, and I am so happy that all of our hard work has received recognition. The London Tavern is a huge part of Poulner’s community and without everyone’s support, we would not be where we are today. It is so lovely to see new and returning faces in the pub and it is lovely getting to know everyone.
