The Park Tavern

Head down New Road and you'll find The Park Tavern doing what it does best: being exactly the kind of pub Kingston actually needs. It's the sort of place where regulars have their spots, the bar staff know what they're pouring, and the furniture's got stories to tell. You're looking at genuine ales on tap, unpretentious food that doesn't try too hard, and a genuinely warm atmosphere that feels earned rather than forced. It's close enough to the town centre to pop into, but far enough away to avoid the Saturday night chaos.
