Pepper's Ghost in Waltham Forest

The DJ and ‘friend’ (what was her purpose?) were absolutely atrocious. The music was dreadful. More people left than came in. Somewhere I will leave if they are ever there again!!!!

Fantastic vibe and great service. Carol and the staff are amazing and the food is out of this world! Will definitely go back again

We found this pub by chance on Christmas day and had an amazing meal. We tried 3 different dishes (Turkey - polenta with sausages - pappardelle with lobster) and they were all exceptionally good. The chef and his wife are Italian and they are brilliant in the kitchen. All homemade, authentic, delicious Italian food that it's very difficult to find in England. We went back on Boxing day to try their pizza and it was probably the best pizza we've ever had in the UK. My apple crumble was so yummy too! Prices are also very good. We know now where to go to eat when we are in London!

Very good food and excellent service. We had very good burgers and pasta and reasonable priced and the atmosphere in the bar was also great. Good value for money.

By luck we found the kitchen at pepper’s ghost opened on boxing day with a special meal, sea food pasta with lobster. Amazing pasta, the chef is italian and we can taste it. His wife is serving always with a smile. Really nice couple, I highly recommend their food!

Went today with my in-laws and husband for the first time. Completely blown away by the food! I had gnocchi with an Italian sausage ragu (one of today's specials); we also ordered a chicken burger, apple crumble and tiramisu. The chicken burger tasted fresh, amazing homemade crisps and chips came with it on the side. My gnocchi was so delicious, rich ragu with fresh gnocchi! The apple crumble was equally demolished. They ran out of tiramisu but they had an idea (consulted us first) to do a makeshift version using the softest pannetone I have ever tasted - huge portion that we all practically licked off! Honestly, we were so taken back by how good the food was, you can tell they really care about the ingredients they use and how it tastes. The sweetest husband and wife team! Will definitely be back!!!

I like the new kitchen with authentic Italian food, pasta, pizza and also Sunday roast. My boyfriend and I have been there a few times since the Italian chefs took over and we were always satisfied. I highly recommend it. Good food, less politics

Popped into Pepper's Ghost for a Sunday roast consisting of roast pork, chicken and beef...highly recommended! The portions are huge. Great value for money!

Quality food and passionate cooking is what you will find in this newly refurbished pub. The food and service was restaurant wliatu, locally sourced ingredients and a great service.

There were hardly any customers inside the pub, as it was such a hot day. Most people were outside. A group of adults with one small child were sitting inside. The child was making ear-splitting shrieks of joy and it seemed that the adults were goading the child on in this respect. It was hard to bear, and a conspiracy theory formed in my mind that the brewery had paid this family group to make conditions intolerable in the pub and discourage punters. The decor of the pub interior is a muddle. Previous "modernisations" are already starting to look dated. The only original features appear to be the slim, tall columns that hold up the ceiling, with ornamental Corinthian capitals, and an area of rather beautiful, delicate plasterwork on one wall--a frieze of swags of fruit and flowers. Food was not being served as it was after 4pm.

An stinky old boozer-turn-gastro pub. How could they get this so wrong? There has been news going around that the brewery tried to run down the business in order to turn the premise into flat. Well, they are certainly on that path if one wants to see how to run a pub into the ground. Thursday late afternoon, a couple of people watching day time game show miserably.

No one in their right mind needs to pay for food and get such a grumpy and unpleasant greeting - really?? Not somewhere I will consider bringing children back to or even adults About the most unpleasant bar maid I’ve ever met

I had a lunch with my son and when we relised that my son chicken was raw inside lady on the bar straight away changed my son meal to the new one. Also to my surprised she refund money per kids meal and she served as a complementary scoop of chocolate ice cream. My son left happy and I left satisfied that lady done extra mile for us. Very impressed!

Just had a ’quick burger’ for lunch in this nice clean and friendly pub. It was surprisingly empty for such a nice place right on a busy high street but we were glad to get a cosy corner for the four of us. Lovely burger, thick, succulent and perfectly cooked. Really nice staff who offered free desert because we had to wait a bit (there was only one cook), but we were happy just to have a coffee.

Tienen buena cocina, pero la cierran muy temprano (antes de las 21:00) , hay shows en vivo, la atención es lenta, pero de todas maneras volvería.

We were staying in the Ibis Styles and came to Pepper's Ghost for food in the early evening on a Friday, it was very quiet and relaxed at that time. The food was good, as were the cocktails. I'm not sure if this is the case all the time but they were only accepting cash payment when we visited.

The pub is nice and clean with friendly staff. I was here for work so only had a quick drink. Prices were cheap for a double rum and apple juice.

The European waitress struggled to understand me when ordered. (I'm only a Mancunian not an alien) She said there was only beef burgers on the menu. We were the only people in there! It took a while for the food to arrive considering we were...

I visited for a drink with my partner after some friends recommended it, and ended up staying for a few drinks and some food. Lovely atmosphere, great staff and very nice food - the veggie burger was gorgeous and I'm not vegetarian! We will definitely...

I have to say it's one of the worst pubs I've ever had the misfortune to drink in. Terrible atmosphere, awful music, it took about 15 minutes to get served and the beer tasted like vinegar. I believe the pub used to be excellent but...

This has quite a modern feel rather than the traditional brick a brack approach to a 'pub atmosphere'. Despite this, it still holds the old London pub film. I ordered some cocktails and even though the staff were busy they made them super quick and...

Well the renovations to this place are terrific inside and out . The service was superb as was the food . We had the calamari and burgers which were excellent . The only problem was the the lack of variety on the menu . A...

Enjoyed a really decent meal here yesterday: food freshly cooked and tasted great. Pub has a good range of ales and beers and service was quick and friendly.
