Amazing view. London fields is one of the best parks in London and this pub is just in front of it. Is one of the most chilling terraces i have ever been. I went once to watch a football match and they had loads of screens so everyone could be catered for a football evening. The atmosphere was great.
prices are standard, but service is quite bad. I asked for a Guinness and been served a Lager for a Asiatic waitress that could not understand a single word in english there is loads of room inside as well but the view is impressive and may worth waiting if you have to.
get there is a pain in the neck though, since there s no tube to go to Hackney. bus 106 from whitechapel and 47 from shoreditch will take you there

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 simply overcooked and I was shocked to receive it as our meal. The potatoes were black! When I complained the proprietor just sneered and offered no apology. He just said he would take my comments on board but did nothing to compensate. His reaction was insult to injury. We had paid when we ordered so we too were well roasted! 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 FOR LESS MONEY. An expensive day as I had to pay twice. Needless to say I will not venture to that place again. I wondered why I saw very few people eating there!
Yes the view is lovely, but it’s a park, not the pub’s garden. Get yourself a bottle of wine and a blanket and enjoy the park properly as opposed to viewing it from the pub’s platform. If you stay near the pub you can use their loos which is handy because the council closed the park ones.
The beer at the pub is fine - but so is the beer at most pubs.

The sun is shining upon the grass of the field, a couple are laughing whilst throwing a frisbee, a group of friends sit nearby eating from a picnic and children run freely with their parents watching on. You are sat on an outdoor wooden platform terrace, overlooking this most pleasing of scenes, with your hand clasped on a cool beer, having just consumed some delicious homemade food.

Yes the pub on the park is surely a place worth visiting, come sun or rain, autumn or Spring.

The stock is varied, with an excellent choice of ales and an absolutely charming atmosphere prevails. Family friendly and a view across the park, which aids the thirst-quenching process.

You just can't beat the view. Located right next to London Fields, you are sitting in what must be Hackney's prettiest pub. In the summer you can just take your pint down to the park and picnic on the green or lounge around in the adjacent beer garden.
In winter the inside is nice and cosy, with lots of wood, a delicious home made sunday roast and chess boards for rent.
Finally they have some very tastefully decorated ladies toilets.

The Pub On The Park lying on the border of London Fields park and London Fields station in East London is a great place for a sunny Sunday afternoon in the summer.
Great atmosphere outside, great beer inside, Tuesday is pub quiz night with the locals which is a lot of fun!
Recommended to take the kids so you can watch them play in the park while you relax on the pub's well built terrace.
Games include football, rugby and cricket on the teley.
Friendly staff, all in all a great place to spend the afternoon.
Try the roasted pork on their Sunday menu.
