Such a great pub! The food, the beers and the warm welcome from the staff. This place has something for everyone. Karaoke, tribute night, DJ, best around for sport and look like they do a lot for charity too with sweepstake and raffles for signed football shirts. What a great local.

Decent decor and booze. Good for live sport. Update they have taken the love sport a bit far, frankly the number of screens is overwhelming and diminishes the overall experience.

Great pub , The music is overbearing and has no place in a pub without a dance floor, I’m sure the punters would sooner have a conversation with each other . Toilet broken.

The Railway Bell is my local. Fantastic community pub that makes everyone feel welcome. It’s the best place to come to watch sporting events. The Euros was brilliantly hosted by the pub. Great people, lively music and positive vibes. Best place to watch it in South Woodford!

Railway bell is my must go to pub to watch football. I went to watch the Euros on Sunday and again last night what a fantastic atmosphere. it was incredible busy but the staff really worked hard. a big well done to Ross, Michelle and staff for making it such great nights out. If you're not into your footy then may I suggest going there for the tribute nights they really are brilliant.

This should be a great pub but... The staff are great, hard working, pleasant to talk to but there's not enough of them! The pub has a great atmosphere but it's tempered by the massive scrum at the bar when it's busy.

I came here with my parents last Sunday and sat in their outdoor seating area as the sun was out. We had a really nice experience here and the food was tasty. The service from Kim was exceptional and she went out of her way to look after us. They have a whole vegetarian menu, so its a good choice if you're veggie. I would definitely recommend.

Railway bell fantastic pub been going in there for years. Do like reading through people reviews. One in particular jumped out at me. Once I realised who it was and stopped laughing as knowing this person is barred from every pub in the area. Just want to say best place to watch euros, 6 nations and any other sport also do great tribute nights. Last Fri of every month. I can't wait for the next one.

Only had a drink and no food, however I brought my dog and they were so accommodating. Dogs are only allowed in the beer garden (inside only for orders). Staff provided a bowl of water which was wonderful in this current hot temperature for her. She enjoyed herself! And I enjoyed my pint! Would definitely recommend and go back.

Hubby and I regularly visit the Railway Bell for drinks and lunch. The service cannot be faulted with friendly staff and impeccable service. In warmer weather we take advantage of the ample seating choice outside and enjoy watching sports on the large screen TVs or listening to the latest tracks over the speakers. A great place to visit and highly recommended.

It isn’t a fake nasty review just to let you know. We did said we had BRP cards, which is officially given by the Uk govt. to us (international students), we don’t have no other id’s than that. Also, you did check my BRP card, also you did serve me the previous day. Where did the photos of Id came from? QWe said photos of passport, & the bartender walked away. The same guy denied us, we didn’t felt welcome like the day before. So, not professional. Just after we went back, we called our GM saying about the incident. He felt sorry for us of what just happened. So, this is not a fake review. We had 4 people around, might be one of my friends review. Obviously, they would when you won’t get served but get served the pervious day. Thank You

I held surprise 50th drinks and food on Friday for my hubby at the railway bell. What can I say it was the best event I organised or she’ll I say Michelle Ross and Sam organised for me. They were excellent I felt like they went above and beyond with every thing to help me plan this such great local pub with amazing vibes. All the staff were just so happy to help they even put up decorations up prepare the cake and big out for me. All my guests were well looked after through out the evening. Ooooh and Michele Jackson tribute by David was just amazing too. Thank you for making my Hubbys big birthday so special in his favourite pub 😃🎉🍾🥂🎂🙏🏻

This is a great spot for really nice food. Great to have a senior menu option for great price of 6.99 with two courses and having the right portion size for someone with a small appetite. I had a lovely 8 oz steak cooked medium rare to perfection! Garlic and mushroom sauce was delicious and chips were lovely and warm. Other half had a beef burger and had the option to add an egg and texan bbq burnt ends and he scoffed the food down. Lovely member of staff Kim who served us. She was really attentive and friendly. Will definitely come again when visiting my nan again.

A few days ago, I stopped by Railway Bell for lunch. Opting for a Bacon & Blue Burger paired with a Neck Oil, I found the service and drink quality to be quite satisfactory. However, the burger experience fell short. Despite arriving promptly (i.e. 5mins after placing the order), the burger itself was disappointing— the meat did not taste great, and the blue cheese was an unappetising solid chunk. It ranked among the worst burgers I've ever had. The accompanying chips were somewhat greasy but still enjoyable. Despite devouring it due to hunger after a 15km walk, I doubt I'll choose it for lunch again. Nevertheless, I'd still consider returning for drinks.

A prize and spacious getaway for a fine pint and quality bites. I highly recommend the sharer plates. Expect generous portions with top tier tasters. The team are welcoming and nothing short of fantastic. Ample seating, and many screens for sporting events, but they don't take over the vibe of this excellent establishment.

This was my first visit to the Railway Bell late December 2023; for my late brother‘s wake. My family could not have been made any more welcome by ‘Michelle from the Bell’ and her team; they were simply fantastic. The food laid on by the Bell for the mourners was great and the staff and customers were so friendly – such a nice place to spend some time. Next time I’m in the London area I’ll be sure to drop in for a pint (or two) at the Bell.

In a busy pub with signs everywhere telling customers to order on the app, that's what my friends and I did yesterday for our Sunday roast. After ordering for myself and my partner, my friend was unable to order his as they had run out of roasts. A short while later, the waiter brought 2 roasts to the table and confirmed this was the case, and that despite them still accepting drinks orders on the app, they wouldn't be bringing these to the table as they were too short-staffed. Fortunately for my friend, the roast was very mediocre, so he was the winner in the end.
