Menu Variety and Food Quality
Pros:
"For a tavern, they definitely have a very large menu and lots of options for vegetarians too!"
"They do some good pizzas here - my boys had a margarita with olives, and we also got the pepperoni one, the tuna one."
"They do good pizzas (even tho the buffalo mozzarella they have is average)."
"The service was ok, but wouldn't say 'good'. Food is amazing (I had avocado, mozzarella, olives and other stuff salad 🥗)!"
"Great pub for beers and pizza, just off the corner of clissold Park."
"Ultimate pub garden for watching live sports, big screens, great range of craft beers 🍻 and decent pizzas as well."
"Lovely pizzas, fast service on drinks etc."
"The pizza is full of flavour - they can make gluten free or normal pizza and both are wood fired."
Cons:
"The pizza was awful cheese tasted like rubber and they definitely lack in the hygiene department as they did not remove the olive pit and now i have a broken tooth."
"Food is OK. Stick to the pizza and garlic bread as the meatball and spaghetti was well below standards."
"Went to the Tavern knowing it did pizza, waited a hour for 2 underwhelming pizzas after poor service and chasing for the food."
"Food was undercooked, once again rushing everything out the kitchen cos they don't have enough staff....."
"The pizzas are still excellent- ate there last night after a long gap. Only gripe is that it.was freezing cold in pub."
"This place is great but... 3 times I've eaten here and 3 times my pizza had basic problems."
"Chose the avocado salad, no price on the lunch menu... was good but 10 pounds for a salad that has more lettuce than anything else felt like a rip off."
"The Robinson Crusoë, the previous name of the establishment before it was refurbished, was a much nicer place."
Service and Staff Attitude
Pros:
"Food is good and usually delivered promptly."
"Service was pretty great and very friendly."
"Staff were super helpful and friendly, recommended food and drinks."
"Attentive staff, had an issue with my order which they rectified as soon as I informed them of it."
"Loved the pizzas but your selection on non alcohol beer is abysmal."
"Friendly staff. Taste funky pizzas."
"The manager is a really great guy! I had chicken Milanese which was PERFECT!"
"Staff are helpful despite how busy and hot it gets behind the bar - perfect for a cold pint on a hot day or a nice meal in the evening :)"
Cons:
"It is rude not to take care of customers I called twice, personally went there, wrote e-mail twice, No Respond to Complaint!"
"Nice outdoor area, however it is way too pricey. A tiny portion of chips is an extortion!"
"Baffled by our visit to this pub, which says it shows all major football games, yet they werent able to even switch the tele on in time or sort out the sound for the England v Scotland game."
"I’m a regular customer at Clissold Park Tavern and was shocked when security was IMMEDIATELY hostile towards us."
"Nice location and plenty of outdoor space but service was poor."
"Went to the Tavern knowing it did pizza, waited a hour for 2 underwhelming pizzas after poor service and chasing for the food."
"The pizza was awful cheese tasted like rubber and they definitely lack in the hygiene department."
"Nice outdoor area but staff don’t abide by opening hours, we were chucked out half an hour before closing time."
Ambiance and Location
Pros:
"Came in one a weekday for dinner after a lovely walk in the area."
"Lovely spot, just in front of my favourite park :)"
"It was not crowded, with good relaxing music, with candles on the tables - very pleasant atmosphere."
"Great for a booze up in the sun. Huge outdoors area."
"Ultimate pub garden for watching live sports, big screens, great range of craft beers 🍻 and decent pizzas as well."
"Great dog friendly pub, we popped in after taking the dog for a walk in Clissold Park."
"Booking online was super straightforward too. The beer selection is decent and the pizzas looked great."
"Nice pub just next to the park. Is really nice decorated and the staff seams OK apart from the luck of information as they where misleading with the management of the pub."
Cons:
"Popular pub, especially with young people. Slightly big for its boots, although atmosphere definitely has fizz! Expensive drinks."
"While there’s not a huge space for energise kids to run about it, it helps that there’s good outdoor seating."
"Large outdoor area, allows dogs, & fairly easy service (via QR code). There's a pub quiz & a random 90s/00s playlist on Wednesday evenings."
"I visited this place in 2 occasions, and is lovely place right opposite to the beautiful Clissold park and with a great outdoor area. Anyway I have to say during the last visit the experience hasn't been so good."
"As a normal pub I’d leave a more positive review, as a football experience I’d leave a far more negative one."
"On the plus side: friendly staff and a massive beer garden. On the negative side: 1) there is no real ale."
"Nice local that has been redone recently to attract a younger, hipper crowd. It serves good pizza, great for watching the football, healthy options."
"Slow and incompetent people behind the bar. Expect to wait a good 20 minutes before a disgruntled youngling finally notices you and deigns to take your order."
