Who doesn't like a parma and especially when they are $12. Normally would save it for a winter meal but it was a balmy night and when I arrived saw someone else's order arrive and it looked mouth watering. When mine arrived - tasted even better, particularly as I sat outside in the outdoor area and soaked up the last warmth of summer and finished off the last of the salad and chips on my plate. The menu is pretty good and there is something for everyone. Typical pub food presentation but it's what you should expect so don't get your hopes up for some high end food. This is real pub meals. Service was quick as well. Prices for drinks pretty reasonable.
Kids welcome. Dietaries catered for. Wheelchair and disability friendly. Parking isn't too bad, just watch those signs as the inspectors are pretty quick here.
We came to the London Tavern Hotel yesterday for their $12 Parma night. It was a warm night and we were sat in their very large outdoor area, which was lovely.
Drinks were reasonably priced; they were advertising a pint of Furphy for $9. We all got the $12 Parmas. The staff were happy to serve mine with double salad, no chips.
The Parmas were good but not amazing. The crumbs were quite soggy and there was no ham. Luckily the salad was fresh, the Parmas were saucy and my friends said the chips were delicious. All things considered, it was an enjoyable meal. In terms of value for money, I think you will find it difficult to beat this Parma.
Beef rendang curry with rice: well spiced, lots of flavour and nice tender beef. Decent serving size and food was brought out very quickly even though they were quite busy. $21 reasonable, but would have liked it to come with a little naan bread which would have made it even better.
We head here occasionally for their Chicken Parma night. The serves are really decently sized, they have the option of veggies instead of salad, plus there is an open fire place.
Went to The London Tavern on Grand Final day, waited about 1.5 hours in line which was fine as we expected this for Grand Final day.
Ordering food and drinks was quick too considering how big the crowd was.
Great atmosphere.
The London Tavern is the perfect spot to pop into for pre footy drinks and snacks. They have a huge beer garden which I can't wait to enjoy in summer and a great selection of beer and food to keep you going before and after the game. We spent the afternoon sipping on beers and snacking on the grazing platter and it was 👌
The $10 Monday Parma special is fantastic. I look forward to Monday dinners, always a delight at the London. The Parma isn't greasy, it's juicy and very tender and a great size for the price.
I thought a pub would be lacking for vegetarian options, but I was very pleasantly surprised. London Tavern offered some really interesting vegetables on their menu, including the cauliflower fried "rice" on lettuce cups which I ordered. Very tasty indeed. My friend's steak was cooked just as she asked as well and the sides were lovely. A great place to have a relaxed dinner out with a beer.
If you haven’t been to The London Tavern for awhile, you may be pleasantly surprised by the most recent menu. While the food has always been solid at The London, the beef burger on the current menu is a real winner. The perfect combination of a classic Aussie burger and the in-vogue American version we have seen so much of lately, this is a burger to enjoy for lunch, dinner or anywhere in between.
There are two strapping young bartenders here by the name of Daniel (M) and Oliver. Much recommended! If you are in town then the London is a must visit! A true Melbourne icon.

The London is a great local. Came here on parmigiana night and the curry night. For $10, it's a bargain. The chips are always delicious too.
Great Mexican Chicken with black bean, corn and avocado salsa tonight
The salmon also looked delicious
Had a great value pub meal today. Great curry for me and the wife had the tonkatsu burger. Service was typical old Richmond pub that was relaxed but good.
Black Angus with Yellow and Black. Went here for lunch on a Monday afternoon. Had the Black Angus Porterhouse steak with guacamole, salsa and polenta chips. It was awesome! Washed down with a couple of cheeky Carlton Draughts and a look at some of the Richmond memorabilia on the walls. Very nice meal.
Festivus - Good pub food. Its a safe bet pub
I had the parma and my friend across a good looking meal too
good options on tap and nice range of menu
We've All Been There.... You can always count on the parma and the steak sanga here. Recently had their lamb chops and was mightily impressed. Good wine selection for a down-and-dirty pub helps as well. Years ago I thought the food here was pricey given the surrounds but seems fine now. Put it into your rotation.
Go for!. I love this Place, hands down on the awesome tapas and service here.
Great spot before the footy. Great spot to go for a few beers and a meal before a footy game. Large outdoor beer garden with standard pub food.
Good food good pub. Great place to catch up with friends no loud music to drown out conversation food is always decent for the price and sporting events are covered on the plasmas. If i lived local it would be a regular haunt.
Great pub experience. Not one of the flashier pubs around but staff are great and food is flavorsome and presented quite well.
Jimmy liked the pork bangers and mash, other Jimmy thought the steak sandwich was nice and the 14 yo like the chicken schnitzel. Over all your standard pub meal.
Top Tavern. Great friendly staff and really good bar food. Wine selection is good and reasonably priced. Not a good place to be Grand Final Day when it is packed.
Good Food Pub.. Great place to eat and drink in both summer and winter with the extensive beer garden and open fireplace respectively making things enjoyable. Awesomely diverse menu ranging from Sri Lankan curries to a quality chicken Parma. The fresh dips and breads come recommended too if a main isn't necessary. Good wine list by bottle and glass. Great place to stop off at before or after a trip to the MCG. Never disappoints!
Tucked away treasure. Wednesday night is trivia night here, and I was surprised at the high level of integrity!! Started with a pretty bland guacamole and tuna tapas, but had a terrific porterhouse on potato mash. The parmas looked great too. Must have new chefs in here since I last went three years ago because the meals (and service) has improved a great deal.
Fantastic out of the way pub. Not much to look at from the outside (or even inside the pub) but the beer garden is fantastic! Can't wait to go back.
London Tavern - good food!. GREAT food at the London Tavern. Although pub meals, they stand on their own pretty damned well. The chicken parma is one of the best I've had in Melbourne, it's very relaxed, and the beer garden is good fun on a warmer evening. The inside bar is very casual as well. An all 'round good place to go for beers and dinner.
Fantastic local pub. Awesome food -large portions and great value. Great beer garden and friendly staff. Beer is very fresh and cold. Highly recommended 👍
Great sports pub - five TVs in the back - very good for a beer on game days.
Warm and friendly staff. The menu is excellent with a great range of food options.
Great to visit just for a drink and a bite to eat. The memorabilia on show is must-see for all footy fans (especially Richmond Tiger fans).
Come in and check it out on your way to the footy at the MCG especially if you're passing through Richmond.
Great Guinness good atmosphere staff very friendly foods fresh open fire is great highly recommend to anyone
Place was packed when I was here a few weeks ago! It’s a classic pub. Great for a feed and to watch the footy. Food and drinks were decent too! ☺️
Great pub to watch sports and knocking back a few beers. Food standards have dropped over the year's. Though not terrible but it's pretty average. But I do like the fact there's a hole in wall where you can get good coffee
Best place to visit before the footy. Give the steak sandwich a go
