Not been in there for a couple of years…then went back as it was convenient and needed to watch the football….on a couple of occasions… This time ; had to wait 15 mins waiting to serve about 10 people …. Eventually an unimpressive looking Eastern European woman ( long blonde hair and an attitude) got round to actually doing the job she was paid for …. I actually let a random guy go in front of me as he’d been waiting even longer than I had been . When it came to my turn to get served I got a sarcastic remark for waiting 15 minutes and and not knowing every drink in the bars stock !!! When I returned the banter stating that I been waiting 15 mins with a debit card in my hand and she couldn’t work out how I was going to pay ….SHE REFUSED TO SERVE ME ….! Pathetic….!!! So…after waiting another 10 mins for another member of staff to get the drink from the back of the bar ….(which wasn’t actually that busy for a match day)was given my drink. The previous time we’d been out the back where a bunch karen’s asked patrons to “keep the noise and language down as we were disturbing their out of control KIDS who were running around and causing a commotion… It’s a PUB for goodness sake’s sake ! I had the last laugh because instead of buying 2 or 3 rounds of drinks and a couple of meals with my son… we nursed our pints for the whole 2 hours…!!! Spent nothing! So Miss Eastern Europe “ you cost your company between £70- £100 …🤷🏾‍♂️😎👊🏾🙄😈🤯🤢🤢🤮😆

Update: Have avoided the place since the change in management and refurb but popped in as was at the Lloyd Park fair and the weather was bad. A few other families did the same and they were unprepared for house busy it was (moderately full). Goes to show how unbusy it must be. Made the mistake of ordering on the app (they regularly promote doing this online) as I was with kids: sat for 20 minutes without any service. Went to the bar to ask and the bar person Izzy just shrugged and said they didn’t notice as they were ‘unprepared for how busy it was’. Staff generally looked miserable and uninterested. Don’t bother with the place, even if you’re nearby and it’s raining - just go to the Rose and Crown up the road —————————————————————— Original review The burgers are normally very nice here but last week (they acknowledged they were short staffed) the burgers were almost inedible due to the poor quality of the meat: they looked and tasted like Birdseye burgers at best. Hoping this is a one off

A short walk from Walthamstow Station this pub has a great vibe inside and large outdoor area. Beer & cocktail menu is varied with many decent selections and special deals every day. But the pizza we had was absolutely phenomenal. Excellent pub vibe, close to Walthamstow Soho Theater, movies & market makes this a fine place to hang with a group or solo (friendly locals too) and there is regular scheduled entertainment as well as live sport action on the multiple screens inside. Speakers and art in the garden outdoor make this a fun spot. That pizza tho, remarkably proper!

Taken over by some corporate. Sports bar vibe. It's sad, considering what it used to be like. Food has taken a real hit. Just the cheapest they could do I guess. The only nice thing is the deep fried corn. Pizza comes under a plasticised blanket of cheese, everything else bulked out with chopped onion. All the nasty tricks you'd expect from the IDGAF Cookery School. A much reduced range of beers. Also, loos obviously have a problem, which has always been an issue with this building. With the hot weather we are having, bar area tends rather to smell of warm poo.

What a fabulous Saturday lunch I enjoyed at the Bell pub yesterday afternoon. With rain buckets chucking ☔️⛈️🌧️down from darkened skies I received my dark ale from a friendly bar staff member. The Bell was very busy. The atmosphere welcoming. And my tired from shopping at the local mall feet I lifted not a moment to soon as I sunk into one of the many comfy chairs. Lovely music played from the speakers. 😘 My girlfriends and I tucked into a nine small taco plates. Yum-yum. Spine tingling little smorgasbord delights! Crunch-crunch the karage chicken wonders. Goofy aromatic tiny tot smokey Burnt Ends bites. And my dear friend, Sasha, hummed delightful over her vegan choice, jump in’ Jack Fruit delights. 😜 With our taste butts fired up, lightening flashing from the sky, it made perfect sense to order 🍕🍕🍕🍕, 🍔 🍔🍔 and 🍟🍟🍟🍟 Oh mother of all mother gastro-magic plates we girls received. The Bullet 🍔 hit a perfect spot. My 🐓 escalope ravishingly grilled to perfection by a master cheffie hand. A fiery sauce oozed from the 🐓 escalope. Ooh we ladies squealed with hunger munchies quelled wonder. Dear Doreen ordered a sweet tooth dessert wonder. Stacked with yum-yum toffee sauce dripping from two perfectly baked donuts soaked in chocolate and lightly whipped cream, my darling friend still licked her spoon and fingers long after I returned with two rounds of seductive Porn Star Martinis masterly mixed by the very sex barman. 😍 Oh-oh, from next Saturday we local shopping mall girls are gonna kick our shoes off on a weekly weekend basis at The Bell pub. Loved every minute of our stay….I shall report back. 🤩🥳

If you're looking for a welcoming spot in Walthamstow, The Bell Pub is worth a visit! The staff here are incredibly friendly, always going the extra mile to ensure you feel at home. The service is top-notch, and a great sense of local hospitality makes the place feel like a true community hub. For beer lovers, you'll find a solid selection of local brews on tap, perfect for sipping while enjoying the laid-back atmosphere. The food here is just as impressive—if you're craving something indulgent, don't miss the melted burgers or the melty pepperoni pizza. Both dishes are packed with flavour and, as the name suggests, perfectly melty! Whether popping in for a pint or staying for a full meal, The Bell is an excellent choice for a casual, fun dining experience in Walthamstow.

Edit 2025: While I still agree with my judgement on the interior design and the overbearing presence of screens, the team at the Bell has been fantastic and welcoming. The crowd also is still lovely and local. Hence I keep coming back and back. Thus revising my (probably a bit harsh) perspective from back then. --- Stripped of personality. Unless you live around the corner or are dying of thirst, there is little reason to go here. This used to be a community pub full of character. A destination you would actually travel to. Now it looks and feels like every other chain pub in the UK. Copy and paste. The same generic furniture and fake wallpapers, lots of screens, the box standard pubco menu and boring event schedule that someone at HQ has drawn up. It isn't horrible but it's also not worth any effort to get there.

Currently closed indefinitely due to the council finding a massive mouse infestation. Avoid. 17th March 2025 The food is the same as in other Stonegate run pubs and that isn't a good thing (the Pizza Cone sounds particularly vile). Overall a pretty charmless and generic pub now. Probably OK to watch the football, but other than that I'd rather head to one of the excellent breweries on Blackhorse Lane or to The Rose & Crown just up the road. A shame as under the previous management I used to go there for the Sunday roasts (no longer on the menus seemingly) most weekends, and enjoyed a regular pint there too.

Drinks and food both overpriced, full of kids and the food is bad. Used to be better before it got taken over/new management and they put TVs in etc. Sometimes the manager is nice and other times he is unnecessarily rude. They charge different prices each time you go up for drinks, even though you're ordering the same ones. When you try to (politely) question it, you're met with hostility. Ambience is still ok and luckily not too many football fans go there.

Nos reunimos con amigos aquí para almorzar. Resultó ser un error. Estaban ofreciendo un menú limitado después de la prisa de año nuevo. No les rencoro por eso, pero deberían asegurarse de que puedan cumplir adecuadamente con lo que ofrecen. El servicio era pobre. Éramos 6; dos platos llegaban a la vez con 10 minutos entre cada par. Luego el plato final llegó una hora después de que lo pedimos y justo cuando nos levantábamos para irnos. La calidad también era muy variable: la calidad del menú infantil era más alta que la versión para adultos.

This place is fantastic! We booked the rear room for our daughter’s birthday party. Literally from our first contact at booking to our last minute there after the party the staff were so welcoming and helpful! Food was delivered right on time, and nothing was a problem! Awesomely refreshing! The pizza was great too. Very highly recommended!!! Oh, and the room booking required a £100 deposit (no actual booking fee), which was redeemable in food and drinks at the bar. So essentially the room was free!

I’ve lived in London for 15 years. This was honestly the worst pub food I have ever eaten. Revolting. The burgers tasted like Tesco value frozen patties. Consistency was like jelly. Mac and cheese tipped out of a Heinz tin. Awful food, took 45 minutes to arrive. We spent £50 on two burgers and two drinks. Absolutely awful quality, awful food.

This place used to be a real social pub, but now you only see screens everywhere and loud music, completely ruining conversations. Unfortunately, there is a case of false marketing. They have a 2-4-1 offer where you would think you'd get two drinks for the price of one, right? Oh well, no, not really... You'll get to save £0.40 when you buy two drinks 😄 just a note to the management to look into this as it's very misleading. Staff was understanding, hence the two stars.

I've been here three weeks in a row. First two weeks, decent beer and ok food, if rather expensive for what you get. This week however I was extremely disappointed with the service. I ordered a slightly different beer which was not in the happy hour offer. This of course was not advertised anywhere and when I asked for a different beer at the happy hour prices, this was rejected. This is remarkably short sighted as I then didn't order any food as I have done previously. Furthermore, I'll go elsewhere from now on, for example the dog and duck, where the staff are much more friendly.

I have benn a rgular of this pub. since otctober 2023. As an emplouee from Waltham Frosest Council. ordered a Avo & Pesto slaad for £14.50. On receipt i was given 1/4 avocado. I raised a complanit with regrs to the cost of the salad and offering a quater of avocado. The Australian/ Canadian manager mocked me and said I will give you whole avocado. I politely mentioned that this was not acceptable and I could receive a similar meal at a similar price from a high end resuarant and I expected better.. The manager mocked & said well go and find your meal from a Hi end restuarnet. Not only once but twice and x3 times and continually walking off in an arrogant & disissive manner. I dont think this is correct way to deal with regulars at a public house. The manager was arrogant, dismissive & rude without wishing to discuss simply becuase of his arrogant & dismissive nature. I hasten to add that the regular manager is totally polite and all the staff but thid particular manager is rude and arrogant. If a custmer does not approve of food the manager should not be rude, offensive and arrogant to any customer. That is simply the bottom line when running a public house. I rest my case.

Reservé una habitación en el Bell para una celebración de cumpleaños en julio y no puedo agradecer al personal lo suficiente. Dean era muy servicial en ayudar a seleccionar comida y bebida para una fiesta de 30 y se aseguró de que la habitación estaba todo preparado como estaba previsto. Hubo un par de cambios en el plan en la noche, pero nada era demasiado problema y todo el personal era sensible y flexible. La habitación (en la parte trasera) es muy espaciosa y también nos dieron un espacio protegido en el patio que era genial para los niños. He ido a la Campana para comer y beber con grupos pequeños, pero este evento tomó mucha más planificación y el personal lo hizo todo muy fácil. No hay cargo por la habitación, solo una expectativa de que usted compra bebidas y comida, que fueron todos geniales y muy disfrutado por mis huéspedes.

Avoid this place! Got scammed here on "Wing Wednesday." Advert says 40p per wing and specifies nothing further. Ordered a "standard portion" of wings (quantity not specified) for £8 through their app. Doing the math, I expected 20 wings. However, I was served 6 wings. Must be a mistake, right? Asked staff member Dean about this, and he was extremely rude to me, told me he didn't have time to "faff around" with this issue and dismissed me repeatedly. Refused to give me more wings, or refund the difference. That, my friends, is a scam. This was, apparently, due to a bug in the android version of their app, which did not include the Wing Wednesday special. Fine, but don't make me pay for your error! No respectable place of business should do this, so clearly the staff here are not trained properly.

Mi hija tuvo su fiesta de cumpleaños número 40 en la habitación que conduce al jardín que también teníamos uso de. David el gerente fue extremadamente servicial. Nada era demasiado problema y cada solicitud fue permitida. Montamos nuestra propia banda de música sin ningún alboroto. David y su equipo trabajan muy duro en los momentos más ocupados en una industria muy exigente. -Muchas gracias. Gran pub que es absolutamente bullicioso día y noche. Recomiendo a fondo.

Taken over by new Ownership - The Bell is now a poorly run and managed Copy/Paste money-grab destination run by a Pub conglomerate. Food options are limited, and not one represents any sort of value for money. Just about every food option contains "Burnt Ends", and yet Brisket is not an option on the menu? It's not "Burnt Ends" is the obvious answer... They are taking the lowest quality bulk discount meat they can find, chopping it into small pieces and cooking it for ages to make it nominally edible, and adding it in to all their limited food options. It's foul. Beer prices are on the higher end of any of the Walthamstow pubs, and are an uninspired set of options locked in by the Corporate Conglomerate. Was in there the other day and was going to have a quick grab and go with the family, and the staff were shouting profanities at each other through the kitchen pass window, loud enough that it was clear through the entire pub. I initially thought the source was some clientele coming in.... But Nope. Definitely the young manager-ish lad shouting F-bombs and other obscenities clearly audible throughout the Pub. If you want to get better value, better service, much better food, and a closer experience to what the Bell used to be before the Corporate Copy/Paste takeover, I'd suggest hopping on the 123 towards the Wetlands, and popping into The Ferryboat Inn. Far better in my opinion. Update to owners response: Yes, I updated my original review, that dated back from 12 years ago. The pub was under different ownership / management when the.original review was written. Current ownership and staff are significantly different (for the worse). The decor was spruced up and cleaned up at the point of redesign, which is reflected in my review score... But unfortunately your staff's lackluster approach to cleanliness means it will degrade faster than would be expected, and the glossy tabletops make it abundantly clear how filthy the tables are... Update for anyone looking at the Bell as a destination: The reviews for this Pub are likely higher than should be expected, due to a much better management and staff being replaced in the last few years. The current corporate conglomerate ownership is benefitting from the historic scores of previous ownership.

If you like paying £7+ to drink a pint of Amstel in an atmosphere vacuum then The Bell is the pub for you!

The manager who had an England shirt on with ‘Daddy Dean’ written on it, just kissed at us and winked which we found inappropriate. We raised our concerns with him, and he got aggressive, took our drinks and asked us to leave.

The most misogynistic overpriced pub in Walthamstow. To get served you must be Male! I stood at the bar for ages and watched whilst countless men got served before me. Even though I was clearly visible and waiting. When I made a comment about having to be a man to get served all the other women waiting agreed they had been waiting a lot longer than the males in this place. Won't be coming back. All round horrible experience.

Went to watch the football and they had screens everywhere. Had the salad with added chicken. Chicken was moist and the salad was a good size. I would definitely go again.

Nice pub, unbelievably bad food I challenge any pub in the UK to serve food as bad as this. Stonegate pubs took over this independently run pub about a year ago. The atmosphere and drinks are nice and the staff friendly BUT WOW THE FOOD IS SO BAD. Our 7 year old was served a sausage that had been cooked hours ago and reheated, I tasted it and it was totally inedible. Such a shame as Walthamstow families would come here much more if food was decent.

The is our local pub and we recently held a 60th birthday party here. From the very 1st enquiry with Dean to the end of the actual party evening, the attentive service down to the finest detail was absolutely first class. Dean and Dave were amazing in helping to get all the equipment we needed (speakers and mikes), Rachel, Jazz and Kevin were fantastic in looking after all my guests and hats off to the chefs who produced the best pizza’s and chicken wings in the business. The party was such a success and a lot of my guests have said they will visit the pub more often. 1st class venue, 1st class staff and 1st atmosphere. We love our local pub!

Dean is absolutely amazing!! We loved him. The brunch was fabulous, wonderful food, lovely booze and such wicked value for the brunch. We cannot wait to come back again. 4 of us came out and we loved it so so much. Roll on next time. Dean is an asset to The Bell. This brunch is fabulous for the time we get and Dean kept the booze coming which was amazing xx

I usually go to The Butler’s Retreat on my morning walks but decided to pop in at lunchtime for some food. I tried their new Lamb Kofta dish and it was sublime! The tzatziki completes the kofta very well and you can’t go wrong with flatbread! Will definitely make time for an afternoon walk from now on. Service magnificent as always!

It would be 5 stars, but they keep closing early without warning. No last bell, no last call, just closed 20 minutes before the closing time said online.

This is easily one of the best burger places in London, far better than most burgers you will find in Central London. Highly recommend The Duke for its delicious brisket patty.

If this pub wasn’t Stonegate it’d be awesome but because they have no idea of growing a food business they just shut a kitchen ! Beautiful pub but no soul,staff in a footy top , watching loud videos eating food and downing bottles of Coca Cola ! This pub could be so much better!
