The Park is a Victorian pub and hotel in Teddington, south-west London. Organizers can book a private table for 10 guests, the Snug for up to 50 guests, or the Parlour restaurant and Gallery Bar for business lunches, team dinners and celebrations. The hotel has 44 bedrooms, so guests can stay overnight. It stands at 19 Park Road, next to Teddington railway station.
Seminars and company events
The Park suits client lunches, team dinners, drinks receptions and short working sessions for small groups. It does not present itself as a conference centre, and its website lists no plenary room. For a business lunch, the Parlour restaurant lets guests watch the chefs cook their dishes. For a smaller table, Tosier's Table sits in a corner of the Parlour and seats 10. The event listings show wifi, air conditioning, flip charts and stationery among the facilities, and masterclasses as a possible format. A dedicated Events Manager handles the planning, and the team supports the event on the day.
Weddings and receptions
The website does not offer weddings. It does cover engagement parties, birthday celebrations, baby showers and class drinks. Couples planning a wedding should ask the venue directly whether a reception is possible.
Rooms and capacities
Tosier's Table is a top table in a corner of the Parlour restaurant, for 10 guests. It suits intimate suppers, lunch with clients or a small team meal. The Snug is a semi-private room with a grand fireplace and high ceilings, for up to 50 guests. It has space for mingling and cosy seating, and a dedicated team member serves drinks. The Gallery Bar is the place for cocktails and mingling, with seasonal cocktails and a range of beers. The Parlour restaurant, recently refurbished, is also open for private hire. The site gives no capacity for the Parlour or the Gallery Bar, so confirm numbers and layouts when you enquire.
Accommodation
The hotel has 44 bedrooms in the Victorian main house. The mix includes Feature Bedrooms, Boutique Doubles and Classic Bedrooms. Breakfast is served each morning. Guests at an evening event can go upstairs rather than travel home, and colleagues from out of town have a base close to the station.
Catering
Food and drink come from the house kitchen and bar. For private occasions the team creates bespoke menus, from intimate dinner parties to larger celebrations. The regular menu uses seasonal produce and heritage ingredients, with inspiration from the kitchen gardens of Hampton Court Palace. The bar stocks cocktails, beers and wine, and the house also serves Sunday roasts and afternoon tea.
History and setting
The Park is a Grade II listed Victorian building with a large garden and spacious interiors, in the middle of Teddington. Bushy Park and Hampton Court Palace are nearby, which suits a team that wants a walk before or after an event.
Getting there
Teddington railway station is next to the hotel. The website gives about 30 minutes to Central London and to Heathrow Airport.
