Railway Bell in Redbridge

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.

Great pub with a really nice beer garden. Staff are friendly and polite and the drinks selection is on point. Good for watching sport and the food is also worth a try

Friendly welcoming service as always on a Sunday - thank you!

Best pub around !!! Many a good night, staff are great, and there’s always something going on !!

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.

Lovely pub, its been my local for years. Ross and staff are brilliant and the atmosphere is great especially on the tribute nights they do every month.

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.

Fantastic team and locals. Will be back again

I love this pub.The customer service is great . It has tribute nights, karaoke 🎤 etc . Always have a good night in here .Highly recommend it .

We watched the football there and the atmosphere was fantastic!

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!

Very friendly& nice pub.Would go back again.

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.

Great atmosphere, always had a good night here with lots of different events & DJ nights for everyone. Staff are really friendly & food is always good with new menus to cater for all.

Very welcoming and friendly pub, is great place for watching sports and has good garden.

Extremely rude staff, not accommodating at all. They’ve really upset me the way they spoke to me despite being a loyal customer. Won’t be returning.

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.

Lovely local, Staff are very friendly. Fantastic for watching live sports. Nice food selection highly recommend Chicken Katsu Curry. Looking forward to watching the Euros there

Great bar for sport good beer first class staff and management

Michelle, Ross, Sam, and team always offer fantastic service with a smile and a laugh. A great local who make everyone feel welcome. Great atmosphere and always a good time had. Highly recommended.

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.

In love with the railway! All of the staff are lovely and would recommend the garden to everyone! Cannot suggest this more!

Been coming here for the last 4 years and seriously cannot fault the service here. My weekly visit today was one out of the ordinary as they had a new menu launch and was amazed by the quality of the new dishes.

WENT INTO THE BELL TODAY FOR THEIR NEW MENU LAUNCH, WELL I HAVE EATEN A LOT IN THERE AND ALWAYS GREAT, BUT TODAY THE NEW MENU IS Exceptional. GREAT FOOD AND AS ALWAYS THE BEST SERVICE FROM MICHELLE SAM AND ROSS PLENTY MORE VISITS AND PLENTY MORE LOVELY FOOD. THANKS BELL TEAM.

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.

Very welcoming pub situated in the South Woodford right by the station. Staff are attentive and kind and offer a great range of drinks and have a good selection of food on the menu. Great atmosphere for sport and also have a great night of karaoke.

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.

Brilliant pub..looks great inside,staff so friendly,great selection of beers and spirits and right next to station. Great atmosphere for the West Ham games

Nice pub! Would recommend to all

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

Such a happy place!! A really bright atmosphere and lovely staff.. the beer garden outside is wonderful for a sunny afternoon.. absolutely Loved this place

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 😃🎉🍾🥂🎂🙏🏻

The staff are lovely. Good drink prices. Lovely place to drink one of my favourite pubs in the local area. Food is good too xx

Staff are always friendly and helpful

Pop down the pub for 6 nations. Pub was busy atmosphere was great. Railway bell really is the best pub in the area for sports. Well done

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 great boozer for sports and having a Sunday drink with your mates

Good helpful friendly service. Well kept beer and good food.

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.

I come regularly to the railway bell with friends and family. It’s always a really nice atmosphere and welcoming with children. The staff go above and beyond and are really friendly. The food is also great.

Good burgers and beer. The pub is nice and slightly busy on Thursday. Overall, we enjoyed the evening.

Good pub for sport, staff are friendly and welcoming, lots of screens to watch the 6 nations, would recommend this place to all

We stopped for lunch with our 2 children, staff are welcoming, friendly and polite. The children were given colouring activities to do whilst waiting for their food, we were able to relax and enjoy our meal. The food was also lovely. We will defiantly visit again.

What can I say, this has to be the best pub, not only in Southwoodford, but east London. The staff are second to none, very warm and welcoming. The food is wonderful, I would highly recommend you visit this pub if in the area.

Went into the railway bell with my family and friends. there was 9 off us including my 2 grandsons. we had a lovely time and was well looked after by the staff. Food was very tasty.

Had a great Sunday lunch with the family. Great selection for both adults and kids (they particularly liked the brownie and ice cream) and very reasonably priced. Staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming.

Lovely staff and a good selection on tap! The food is tasty and is good value for what you get. Great vibes inside the pub aswell!

Wanted a place for the family to enjoy watching a game with decent screens and a range of drinks and snacks for us all. Sam and Kim took great care of us, such s warm welcome!

Nice beers and good selection. Staff friendly.

Savignon Blanc is awful, we couldn't drink it. At £20+ a bottle it would be great to have something that tastes nice. We left here to go to another pub with better wine.

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.

Lunch-time at The Railway Bell in South Woodford with 3 of our grandchildren. And so very well looked after by Ross, Sam and Broody. A great selection of food and drinks from the Kids menu and the Main menu. A lovely pub - very glad we went there with the grandchildren and we will all be there again. Thank you Ross, Sam and Broody,

Had a fantastic night here at the ABBA tribute night with friends and it was amazing. Definitely worth booking early to get a seat.

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.

Great little pub really helpful staff, couldn't do enough for you. The manager on duty was particularly helpful and friendly. Definitely would come back again. Well done and thank you

Myself and my Wife went last night for the Abba Tribute night! We had booked a table which Michele showed us to straight away & we ordered 2 Burger Meals, it was very busy but the meals came within 10 mins and were lovely, we then watched the 'ABBA Tribute' which was fantastic,never seen so many people dancing to the Music in there,they played until almost 11pm and the Pub was rocking...despite being packed,Bar Service was still very prompt & a credit to Ross, Michele and all the team.............Now been to 3 'Tribute' nights and they just get better each time...Well Done the Railway Bell!!!

An excellent pub situated in south Woodford with a great selection of drinks to offer and a wide variety of food to accompany your stay. Friendly staff and are very attentive. Credit to Ross, Michele and team for making every visit worth coming back to...

We had a really nice breakfast with Santa experience, most realistic Santa I saw so far. The staff were kind and made the experience fun.

The staff fantastic and very friendly. They were also, compitant, articulate and friendly. Furthermore, the burgers were succulent and tender. The music was also catchy and relaxing. The lighting decorations for Christmas were pretty but not too bright for those with sensory disabilities. Overall, it...

They do a great quiz every Tuesday. However. They don’t have the heating on and it’s the coldest I have ever been in the pub. Everyone was wearing coats/ bobble hats and we were genuinely huddled round our little candle on our table. When it...

it's sliiiiding down the scale again as they can't resist noisy screens again, instead of some atmosphere. Put screens in only one place, then we can all enjoy ourselves

Great place, warm friendly crowd of all ages.

This is a great pub for sport close to South Woodford station, food was decent as well, big beer garden, great for all

Absolutely best pub in South Woodford. Staff are SUPERB. Always great entertainnent. I never go anywhere else. Food gteat too.

A great pub. Very clean, Great atmosphere and really friendly staff. The manager Ross is also really nice. All very professional.

A lovely pub with a warm atmosphere. Staff are incredibly friendly and very helpful. Good range of food and drink to suit everyone. Ideally located next to the tube.

Great pub, been going there for the past few years even though we moved lut of the area. Great food, brilliant staff

Visited family for lunch. Service very good staff helpful and friendly. Fod quality and price good. Highly recommended 👍

Came for tribute night. Was a great night singing and dancing. Ordered pulled pork tacos and a large gun selection. Great night out

Came for the tribute night. Not ticketed. Got some small plates and fresh beverages. Music, dancing and singing. Great night with friends

Brilliant tribute nights! This is our local pub and we love it the garden is beautiful and has areas you can sit even in the worst of the British weather! We went to a George Michael tribute night on Friday which was blooming brilliant! This...

Was in the bell Fri night what a truly great atmosphere George Michael tribute night. The pub was buzzing can't wait for the Robbie Williams in November and ABBA in December.

One of my favourite pubs by far, great burgers and also many different drinks available. The staff are polite and I always feel welcomed.

Great beer selection, pleasant and welcoming staff, lovely lunch menu I recommend the steak and cheese wrap! Yummy

Had a great time meeting up with friends would recommend coming here to everyone. Tribute night are great, great place to watch footy.

I popped in for a spot of lunch whilst out working. I decided to have a quick bite from the lunch menu. For just over £10 I had a steak and cheese ciabatta with a side salad and chips and a Guinness. Absolutely fantastic value...

On each visit there, it always has a busy, lively atmosphere, especially during sporting events. I've always had a great experience there every visit.

I came to watch the ksi vs tommy fury fight, they were very busy but still managed to serve me in a timely manner. I had the cheese and bacon burger and it was nice, the pub even stayed open a bit later as the boxing over ran. The staff are all friendly and great especially Anthony who served us for most of the night. Thank you for the great night

Been going to the Railway Bell for some time now, ans every time I go in we always get a warm welcome. The staff are brilliant, constantly working hard especially through busy periods, and always on top of making their customers happy. They keep bringing me back in with the amount of events they have. Tribute nights, Karaoke, pub quiz and everything you can feel the warm ans happy enegery, from staff and customers alike. Thank you many times toneveryone that works there, you guys go above and beyond !!

Yet another great night in the Bell Quiz Night which everyone played to win but with fun in mind Michelle and the rest of the staff played their part keeping us well stocked with food and drinks To top it all - we won the...

Nice pub, great staff, wide selection of drinks ! Lots of events going on tribute nights and karaoke, will be back soon’

I came here for lunch with my family, good service, staff are friendly the food was excellent, I would recommend the bacon and blue burger!

Lovely staff, always inviting and great for the footy

Amazing atmosphere and friendly staff who are always accommodating and attentive. Great for sport and great selection of food and drinks. Every 2 weeks there is karaoke or some kind of entertainment that is definitely worth coming down for.

Great pub, with a really good selection of drinks. We only popped in for a few quiet drinks and it was perfect. The food menu looks great (although we didn’t eat here on this occasion but would come back to try the food). Service from...

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.

Just like to thank all the staff at the pub for all their work raising money for McMillan, mishell ,Ross , Brodie and all. Really made the day special.

I don't know about food but as an audience they were fantastic I song for the pub I am Gary Oliver salsa singer ska reggae tribute

Kim is most welcoming bartender I ever met

Great pub right outside the station, good choice of beers with excellent service.

Greene King house but with more of a quirky and local feel in terms of its decor and selection, emphasising its craft beer offering. L shaped bar with two main rooms and a garden. Dark green interior with quirky signage and ornaments. Emphasis on community...

Was great service and was a nice sunny day so I got to appriciate more the out door sitting area.

Well Tina Turner tribute night was sensational. Fantastic evening can't wait till the next one which I believe is coming soon.

Lovely pub; lovely staff and the best selection of beer for miles. We love all the entertainment on offer, DJs, tribute nights etc Thank you

The staff were friendly and courteous, especially the young lady behind the bar called Broady. The staff were well-informed of all upcoming offers and events . The food was tender , succulent and very pleasant. The pub has fantastic views for sport and a friendly,...

Good grub . Try the chicken burgers . Nice friendly staff

Could do with reviewing the seating are by the bar as quite claustrophobic for those sitting there when the bar area gets busy but other than that a great place to go. Also if you are not taking app orders please let customers know or do not accept the app order in the first place. 5 star rating was saved by Chris Ramsay...what a legend! He totally earned his wages the evening I was there and kept going with great humour and great customer service.....thank you!

Great welcome, service and food. I took the kids in for afternoon lunch. The staff are so friendly and accommodating. Michelle who was in charge that afternoon made sure we felt welcome and was brilliant as always with the kids. The food came on time...

Staff very friendly and welcoming. Nice traditional pub with excellent selection of beers. Had senior's lunch which was good value and just the right size portion for me. Food nicely presented.
