Leyton Technical Pub in Haringey

There has been a lot of effort put into the renovation and there are some comfortable seats and semi private areas, but it feels a bit lacking in atmosphere. The food is quite nice but not enough for me to want to eat there regularly

Good place for beers, wine and dinner

Deeelicious roast!!! Refirb is lovely! Plenty of space. Nice servers but short sitting times / especially for large groups so make sure your group is not late!

Had a delicious roast in here yesterday with the family. I had the mixed meat and the pork was especially good. All the timings were good too. It's a nice building that I've been told has recently been refurbished and reopened and they've done a good job. Staff were attentive and good atmosphere - recommended.

Newly renovated, beautiful and spacious inside. The Sunday roast is delicious, I got the mixed roast. The pork belly and the roast chicken is the best in my opinion! But all great choices. Definitely come! And the staff are really attentive so you never have to wait too long for service.

We visited for a Sunday roast with our daughter and boyfriend. Both of us have always been disappointed in the past when we've had a roast dinner in a Pub. The Leyton Engineer has restored our faith in a pub doing a great roast dinner. Only downside was my Husband's apple crumble could have benefited with a larger serving of custard as it was a little on the dry side. My chocolate brownie was excellent 👍

Operating under new ownership, this place is great!

Gran personal amable del bar, antiguo ayuntamiento victoriano, máquina de discos gratis, comida. Larga lista de bebidas, estatuas, telas de William Morris.

Love what the team have done with the pub refurb and have visited a good few times since reopening. Roasts on a Sunday are great but… the food menu is otherwise pretty boring and we’re opting for other places when in the area at the moment. Would be great to see a similar offering to Royal Inn On The Park with some more exciting dishes.

Looking great after the refurb and reopening!

Chances upon this place on a long walk to another pub, and so glad I decided to stop for a pint. Lovely interior and great to see owners and staff trying so hard to be an outstanding place. Well kept real ale, interesting music, just wish I lived a bit nearer!

Newly refurbished. Didn't get a chance to try the food but service was good, the atmosphere was great and a variety of seating areas depending on the type of crowd u are with.

Didn’t realise I’d given 4 stars ! Now amended to 5 stars. Great pub with good choice of local brewery beers with very knowledgeable staff. Cheers 🍻

First time having the Sunday roast here and it was excellent. The yorki was perfect and the roast was really hot. Good gravy also. Service was great also. Very happy this place has reopened!

A very odd place, couldn't call it a pub or bar, the gents toilets were like the size of a phone box, the door bashed into me twice. Very bright lighting, been waiting for ages for it to open, disappointing

Went here for lunch during a weekday, not many patrons around which suited me just fine. Ordered the Vegan Fish and Chips, which was the tastiest vegan fish and chips I've ever had. The barman was very friendly and attentive. Will definitely be visiting again!

Only just opened and had been looking forward to going as a local. We had the Sunday roast and it did not disappoint! Very good indeed. The pub itself is massive and newly renovated to a very high standard. Will go back for sure . Also staff were so polite and friendly.

An incredible renovation of Leyton Town Hall here. To see what the place has been converted into is remarkable. This was a municipal building for years, until it closed and squaters moved in maybe 20 years ago. It finally has been regained for public use into this beautiful homely, late 1800/ early 1900's feel complete with some leather seating, velvet privacy curtains, genuine props from that time and a games room that feels like a Local where everyone is welcome. Credit to the staff, the designers, the Albanian decorator, and who ever had the vison to restore one of Leyton's finest buildings.

Great service, friendly staff & amazing food.

Best roast dinner I’ve had… and I’ve had a lot

Recently been done up. Looks great. Staff are very friendly and polite.

Happy to report that the revamp is gorgeous. I really like that this large space has been used to cater to different needs, some little nooks, some big tables, then a chilled pub/bar space and a more formal restaurant on the right. You could go as a group of friends, or with visiting family (although I think kids only allowed in the restaurant area in the evening), plus there's the Club Room which had darts, pool etc. The decor is smart but inviting, there's ambience but it wasnt too loud. In terms of food - staff were attentive, efficient and kind, food was delish (especially the small plates - recommend the beef teriyaki) and all came out in good time despite being a busy night. Generally good vibes all round. Chuffed this is our new local!

Effing awesome place! The venue is simply iconic and has been renewed to reopen under new management. The atmosphere has improved but it did not lose its old character and charm. It now serves incredible food with the friendliest service! Nice choice of tapas! Great chef! Can't wait for more nights with live music too! Thanks for making such a nice comeback, Leyton (Technical) Engineer! Nice tapas

Fantastic pub, only been open a month when we went there but superb makeover.

What a stunning pub! Very impressed with job Remarkable Pubs has done with this place! Visited last week with a friend for lunch and the food didn’t disappoint. Had a few small plates and my friend had the Sea Bass main. Food was delicious, well seasoned and full of flavour. Tom was our waiter and what a great guy he is! Warm friendly service with a smile for everyone. The place buzzing, even for 1pm on a drizzly Friday afternoon. This place is going to be the place to be!

I’m local to the area and have been excited to visit since it reopened. They have done a great job with the renovation, the pub has a good vibe and the food is excellent. I went for a roast on Sunday which was great (loved the amount of gravy that was available). I also went back last night for the pub quiz which was really enjoyable with a great mix of rounds. I hope the colour printing and quality of paper continue to be a feature of the quiz. Will be coming back as a regular participant

Nice pub, looks good after the refurbishment. Didn't eat but the menu looks tempting.

Thoroughly enjoyed our evening at The Leyton Engineer. Stopped in a for a quick pint and was tempted by the delicious looking food. Ended up staying for a couple more and dinner (which was great!) Had a wonderful server called Niesha who went out of her way to ensure we had a great evening. Will definitely be returning.

Taken a while to reopen but it's got a good vibe and friendly staff. Tried the bacon cheeseburger while I was there and, while I had to reconstruct it because the bacon and salad were on the edge of the bun, it doesn't take away from the tasty burger itself. Good pint of Guinness too. I like that they're trying a range of events to see what sticks; selfishly I hope they all do as I can't make it to any of the immediately scheduled ones 😅.

This new venue, a brief walk from Leyton tube, has great food, great drink and an excellent vibe. Friendly staff simply add to a great experience!

First-time visit with my friend. We had a couple of pints. I got curious about their food, so we ordered curried cauliflower soup and venison stew. The soup was quite nice, creamy, thick, and flavorful. However, the stew was served straight from the microwave. The meat and dumpling were dry, the stew juice was watery, and the plate was messy. So I went to the bar with the plate and told them it wasn't worth £21, and they refunded me despite my willingness to pay for it because we had eaten some off the plate. Therefore, the service there is brilliant! Nice refurbished premises, surely I will give it another go!

Great pub! Newly opened with classy decor. Friendly staff!

Great improvement friendly staff

Stopped in for a quick nose around after their recent renovation and ended up staying for a pint and game of pool! Absolutely gorgeous interior with lots of little private pockets. Multiple local craft beers on draft which were ICE COLD and tasted so fresh... I was astounded. Would have stayed for dinner and the quiz (Tuesdays) if I had time. Lots of vegan options! Will be back soon.

Great vibes! Staff are mad friendly and made me feel welcome. Thank you!

The place is nice and super excited to visit. But one feedback for the owner is the pub is too bright (with downlights), could do with a bit of some mood lighting, table lamps etc and I think it will look super super nice.

Great to see the Engineer open again and it truly looks wonderful and has a great atmosphere in it (although the acoustics are not great when it's very busy and particularly when small children are crying in the same area). However despite the reviews of food being positive I saw I was left pretty disappointed with the small plates I got. The duck was dry and grey, the mac and cheese was fine although grainy and not well seasoned and the bruschetta was a single slice of bread so not good economically (£7.50 is a bit steep for one slice) or if you want to get it as a sharing plate. Someone else at my table had the stew which was much better but it was disappointing the others weren't of the same quality.

Had a lovely evening in the new and improved Leyton Engineer last night stopped in for some pints and ended up staying til 1am due to the tunes and vibes with Christina Draguilera on the decks. 🙌

Honestly I was so pleased with this place! It’s quite rare to drink in such a large, imposing, historical building like this. Most of this size are really bad chains to Wetherspoons, so it’s awesome to have something like this in the neighbourhood. The choice of draft beer was excellent! Something for everyone & when I say everyone I mean, the regular lads on the street that want to have a pint with mates. Right the way through to the more trend led people ie the pale ale & ipa drinkers. The crowd has super diverse, everyone behaved, the atmosphere was awesome. We didn’t eat but we went onto have wine, the mid priced to entry prices red & whites were super good. You know in pubs sometimes, the wine is like petrol & your head doesn’t thank you for it in the morning. This wasn’t the case here at all…..which is a huge relief. The staff also were lovely, some definitely more chatty & confident than others, but everyone was extremely pleasant. They have done such a great job of this place, the plant room is beautiful…..we had window & original features envy the entire time!! We would definitely return, next time with our dog as it’s dog friendly. Well done guys!!

Loving the new look, was well treated by the staff and the DJ on Saturday was a bonus.

Lovely to see the old girl open again. Staff were great, plenty of beer choices, and decent tunes on the free jukebox. I think the lighting in places is too bright/white, and needs to be warmer and turned down a bit. And a couple of the rooms could do with some curtains to soften things. I'm sure this will change over time though.

Fabulous pub! I'm so glad this has opened. I never came to it before it closed, so have nothing to compare it to, but they've really done a fantastic job with the renovations. It has a few different seating areas depending on if you're a big group for drinks or wanting to sit in a proper dining room for food, and depending on the vibe you're feeling - more intimate cosy snugs areas as well as big group tables. We came for food and had the chicken burger, beef burger and the mac and cheese. Rarely am I satisfied with mac and cheese, but it was really great and I would order it again. Can't wait for the expanded menu to come and we'll be back to sample it all. I'm so happy this has opened. We will be coming back over and over!

My girlfriend is very bad at pool but this is a great new pub and we love the staff here. Fabulous espresso martinis shaken by Indea herself. 10/10

The very best of service. Good people work here. Nicer place in the area

Best pub in Leyton! I wasn’t here yet prior to its refurbishment and I’m so happy it had re-opened cos you can’t fault anything here. Best Sunday Roast you can get around here and even in most of London.

Great reno of the place, was buzzing last night and ace job done on the decor. One major complaint...it is far too light in there for the evening...turn some lights off!

The refurbishment was done brilliantly it was previously not used to its full potential but is now the place to be in Leyton! Few vegan options to eat and few non alcoholic options too. It is on the pricey side but worth it for the decor and vibe and there is even an old school juke box next to the bar. Instantly became my favourite spot ! I hope some interesting events will pop up at this place to keep the community engaged and entertained. ;) Ps:The website would need a quick refresh to match the new vibe!

£18 for a pint and a glass of wine… say no more

Called into the Leyton Engineer last night, as this site has just opened after a refurbishment and we were not disappointed. Stunning building from the exterior to the interior (photos attached) My partner had the Litovel Premium, a Czech lager (and had another) and I tried the beavertown satellite which is a low abv session ipa with loads of floral and citrus fruits. After loooking at the menu we decided to both have Burgers, 1 beef and the other chicken. Both had ample servings of chips and again, we were not disappointed. We were going to have dessert but will leave that for our return. We found the staff to be very attentive and knowledgeable with the offerings of a great choice of beers and wines. We will definitely be going back again to the Leyton Engineer for more of the same

The bartender that served here tried to give me an old pint, I said “no thanks” and he still tried to do it when I wasn’t looking. 👎🏼

The best thing to happen to Leyton in the last 20 years!

Pub based in Old Town Hall. Decent enough pint, worth visiting. Didn't notice any food on offer

Lovely Old building with good selection of beer

Impressive old building made into a lively and vibey eat London pub. Good drinks, pizza and great staff

Excellent place, great atmosphere!!! The cyder is delicious

Good pub but expensive and the bar staff needed to be taught how to pull a full pint. At these prices every drop counts!

Lovely pub with a nice menu for beers. Quirky style and good location.

Quiz night tonight. Great if you're participating, not so good if you just want a chat with mates.

Nice and cozy They have blue moon beer Rarely can find in UK Definitely will come back 🍺

Women have bad attitude and don't understand why she tell me to leave the place every time.

I usually like this place as it's our local but have noticed that recently that staff are not very friendly and the interior needs an update. Last time we came the place reeked of pot, which has turned us off from returning.

Excellent night. Thanks to Christian for our Dark and Stormy cocktails.

A fantastic traditional style pub in a great location on Leyton high road. Simple decor and simple menus, plus great craft beer - get down there as soon as you can!

Proper cockney pub. Stairs are like a spoons and I believe it's haunted.

Spacious pub on the high road with inexpensive pints. Can get a bit loud but staff were friendly, especially if you have a table booked. Reserved a table last minute for my birthday and they made sure we had a quieter room to ourselves.

Pre and after match visit ,usual high standards ,quick and friendly staff ,lovely atmosphere 👍

Herrlicher Oldschool Pub, um vor dem Spiel oder einfach so schnell 1-2 Pints zu trinken!

A good place to get a drink from

Nice atmosphere nice friendly staff

Absolutely Nice pub to enjoy and drink

Couple of different brews on offer and friendly staff. session beer 3.30 🤞👍

My girlfriend and I lasted about three minutes in this place. We were greeted, or at least I think you could call it a greeting if the chap who works there just stood next to us at the bar and stared at us without saying a word for an uncomfortable amount of time. I caved and said hello first. I then asked if he worked here because we were in need of a drink, after all I was stood at the bar with some cash in my hand. He told me 'occasionally I work here' and again he stared at me like I was from another planet and I genuinely thought I'd lost the ability to hear and perhaps I was frozen in time. Very arrogant so we left. Wouldn't recommend regardless how desperate you are for a drink.

Big quirky pub with mismatching furniture and a lovely chilled atmosphere. Beers well kept.

Popular local pub. Good atmosphere, good quality food. *2022 update. No kitchen at present. Pub has facilities for getting a pizza delivery.

Friendly staff members,however not great customer service at times.This place is huge and could do with some refurbishment( walls, seats are dent)App to order the food isnt working.Music could be more recent and lively too,especially on weekends. Overall good place to have a quick drink.

Born and bred in Leyton so have seen the area change & this place has always been a great addition to the area. Shoutout to Millie who went above and beyond to contact us on finding the girlfriends passport & kept it safe for almost a week until it could be picked up.

Good choice of beers good atmosphere

Great afternoon of drinks, bar staff really helpful and nice.

A great wine and craft beer selection, plenty of seating and lots of character.

Beer always nice here. Plenty of real ale choice which is stored and served well. Very busy on football days, which can be a pain when getting a drink, but there are plenty of comfortable chairs and settees to sit. Would thoroughly recommend having a real ale here, best ale in Leyton.

Fantastic pub. Great prices. Superb service. Will definitely come back here again.

Great building excellent pre match atmosphere, friendly locals,recommended especially as Crawley won!

Ordinary pub where people order pizza’s. Not my style and the prices of drinks changed each time we order the same drink… kinda weird.

Decent pre match boozer for away fans

Great building that has seen better days, glad it's still used by the local community rather being abandoned.

Nunca he comido aquí, aunque se ve bien, pero tengo que decir que es la mejor pinta en el área cercana de Leyton. las cervezas son muy buenas, especialmente las ligeras, y el precio está bien. es un buen pub para visitar de camino a casa desde el trabajo.

Pésima comida, personal desatento y sin rollo de baño! La comida fue la peor que haya estado allí. La cena asada estaba hecha, casi no había verduras, horribles papas asadas y los yorkies no eran yorkies apropiados. Esperamos años incluso a través de que estaba tranquilo. No te molestes con un asado de res, tendrás suerte de atravesar tu cuchillo. El entorno es divertido y abarca las características originales, pero en el futuro no comeremos aquí, solo úselo para tomar una copa.

We had lunch here and it was OK to good. There was nothing you could critisise about the food but there again nothing to rave about. The service was friendly and efficient ,the room large and empty so lacking in character when we were there ,however I am sure when full there is a good vibe. There was a good lounge area where folk were playing games, another area where a group were celebrating a birthday. The beer pipes need a clean as my pint of IPA was cloudy. I am sure this pub is hugely popular with the locals but lacks the quality to draw people in from afar.

We use this interesting pub quite regularly and have eaten here a few times, always been good. But in the last few weeks all the guest beers seem to have gone up by about 70-80 pence a pint takng them to nearly £5.00. The Volden is still around the £4.00 or less point. Seems a bit steep.

I came here at 6pm on a Tuesday it was not to busy but there seemed to be a major breakdown in communication in the kitchen. We had squid and scotch egg for dtarters which were very nice. However when it came to mains we ordered Sausage and mash and two Guinness Pie the accompaniments of cauliflower cheese and mash which were both cold on the two plates my friends were eating from. We had to take back to the kitchen ourselves due it getting busy with football crowd. Then they brought three pies back and no sausages. My friends ate the pies which they enjoyed now that the whole dish was warm. I had to wait for an additional 15 mins for my sausage and mash. My friends had finished before i had mine. The waitress gave us a discount of 25% but given service in the kitchen was so poor we felt this was a tad miserly. The food was good ehen you hot it but things need sorting out. Will wait a while before trying here again.

We’ve been to this pub a few times now. The drinks and bar food are good and well priced. The Sunday roast however is expensive for what you get. I can’t fault the service here - the main waitress is lovely. The food itself was delicious, but we were just disappointed with the small portion of beef and veg for £15.50 per person. I would prefer to try another pub next time.

This is a big, shabby but comfortable pub using the building that was formerly the local technical college. We had lunch there on Sunday. The staff were friendly and efficient. It is a short menu offering a limited choice of starters, mains and puddings, and includes vegan and vegetarian options. Three of us each had a different roast dinner. All the food was tasty, well prepared and generous portions. In particular, the vegetables were very good. The beer was excellent. We had a terrific lunch.

This has got to be one of the best pubs in London, packed with character and with some great beer. I was really looking forward to our pre-football drink here but the surly manner of the two women on the door really spoilt our visit. I appreciate that we had to queue if the pub is too busy, but there is a nice way of telling people that and explaining what is going on or you can snarl at people. And they were very much in the latter camp. Sadly, this will be my last visit here.

Atmospheric pub in an interesting old building. Perfect for pre and post match drinks given it’s proximity to Leyton Orient’s ground. Good efficient staff.

Saturday lunchtime before a football match. Busy place with families, friends and 2 sets of football supporters. A lively friendly pub. Decor is very nice and the beer is good. Staff are efficient and friendly, with table beer service available. Liked the place, good atmosphere. Food was ok

Identified this as my first choice of pub on a trip to Leyton Orient, but was very disappointed. Eight real ales on offer - but all were light blonde or pale ales, with no bitters, porters or stouts. Even the ‘session beer’ was a light insipid light ale. Staff were understanding and apologetic, and directed me to the Coach & Horses which was close by, where there was a limited, but more appropriate choice of ales on sale. Don’t understand the approach to not offer a variety of beer.

This was our third visit to the former library cum pub and on this occasion we chose to eat in the restaurant area rather than one of the side rooms or main bar. The decor is reminiscent of an old fashioned library or a faded gentleman's club although the bar area is vibrant and bustling. The menu is burger-focussed although other dishes are available. The waitress was extremely helpful and fitted us in before a large group which we certainly appreciated. My wife and daughter drank the house red which was better than expected and I had a real ale called Trinity which I can recommend. All our meals were served promptly and were well presented and tasty.

local with a quirky interior thoroughly enjoyed and would recommend for a lunch break experience!!!!

Una buena selección de cervezas y fanáticos visitantes son bienvenidos. Pequeña área de descanso afuera. Los baños están un poco anticuados y muy lejos del bar, abajo y luego tienes que caminar a lo largo del bar. Bueno en general, especialmente si su equipo acaba de caminar por todo el equipo local:)

Great decor in a shabby chic kind of way, decent menu and food, good selection of craft beer and always great service
