The Leyton Star in Waltham Forest

Had a lovely dinner at the Leyton Star. I had the bacon double cheeseburger and my partner had the Oklahoma Smash burger. Both were great, really tasty. Best of all though was that we'd ordered some hot honey chicken tenders and these were fabulous...so good in fact that we ordered another plate of them to share. Staff were lovely and attentive, pub was clean and comfortable. Would definitely eat here again.

Had a karaoke night here for my birthday yesterday. The staff were friendly, attentive and helpful, and were part of making it a really great night. Would highly recommend, fantastic way to spend an evening. Thanks guys.

We love this pub. We went there for the Europa Conference final. The whole place was full, including the garden and upstairs. You’d never know it as George and his team gave super service as always. I don’t think I saw anyone waiting to be served during the 6 hours we spent there. What a great night. I booked for 16 people and everyone has contacted me to say how good it was. Thanks everyone at the Star. We’ll be there for the start of the Premier League season if not before.

Great service last night at the Leyton Star. Staff were friendly and helpful. The place was clean and tidy. Atmosphere was also good with sky sports available.

Work Team building at its best!!! Super cool,bohemian room with a Huge selection of songs Everyone had the best time ,the food was v.good and such an amazing pub! 10/10 George the manager is a Legend THANK YOU

Great pub with warm atmosphere and friendly staff - we hold a book club in the function room upstairs and George and his staff have always made us feel super-welcome. Shine on, Leyton Star!

I regularly come to the Star for great food and friendly service. They have a terrace which is a sun trap out the back with a games room and I had a delicious roast on Sunday. About 20 of our friends came on Sunday and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Would recommend!

Enjoyed watching the boxing here. It was busy with a good atmosphere and the bar staff were nice. Good amount of quality TVs too.

Lovely function room upstairs, guests all loved the food, burgers were superb. Staff were fantastic, many thanks to all at The Leyton Star!

When in London, we love this pub for our early evening drinks. Friendly staff, good craft beers and relaxing atmosphere, Will try the new Sunday lunch too, looked very good.

My all time favourite local pub. This hands down beats all its sister pubs and the other pubs in the area for drinks, atmosphere and friendly staff. The burger menu is great too. Relaxed, cosy and good outdoor (covered!) seating.

Eventually had an enjoyable evening on Friday 4 December. We had a lot of problems ordering on the app - 2 out of 5 orders failed - including a nearly £50 food order (not just for me honest). Staff were great and worked their socks off - just a pity ordering was so difficult

Fast and friendly staff, delicious food, wine selection and cozy ambience. p.s. chimney and smell of it all over the place 😍

Oh boy... If I was to put my visit to this fine pub into two words... I couldn't. I and my godson visited pre-lockdown and what a d-light. Burgers? CHECK. Beers? CHECK. Caring Staff? Check. It's a triple! My godson was blown away by not only the grub but the atmosphere. He tried to beat the wing challenge but could sadly only eat five-and-a-half. A pathetic attempt but fun nonetheless. Once this lockdown is over I'm polishing my crutches and hopping on the Overground to lovely Leyton. See you soon! PD

Good beer garden. Food was ok. Bit mixed. The fries with beef and gravy were very good but the veggie burger was a bit disappointing and quite greasy

Enjoyed a cheese burger (£8), vegan burger (£7) with cheesy chips (£6). Friend had the bacon cheese burger (£9) and loaded cheesy chips that included beef on top (£7/8). The burger came with salad and onions, nicely toasted brioche bun. Meat in cheese burger was...

Great pub with cosy beer garden. Very well organised when it comes to social distancing stuff. Small menu but the burger was one of the best I have ever had! We are not local but we will be back!

Well, it's safe to say that I will 100% not be visiting this venue again. Not only was it in one of the roughest areas I think I've ever been in, but the pub itself was an absolute dive. The football was on so it...

We have been for several roast dinners here and in the winter the big draw is the crackling fire place. Recently it hadn’t been lit though. Roast dinner is usually fairly good, no complaints but never overwhelmed. I have beef by choice and often dine...

Went for a Sunday Roast with friends. We had a late joiner since one of my friend’s flight was cancelled due to a storm. Rang to change the booking and push it back 30 mins and add an extra person. I could clearly hear the...

I love this pub, it's so rare to get decent booze-free options, dry Jan or not but this pub's gone the extra mile and has an actual list! The red tempranillo is great making the experience even more enjoyable!

Sunday late lunch in the local pub, big portions, well cooked, warm and cosy with the football on in the background, pretty perfect really.

There are few real pubs in the East Village Stratford area so this within walking distance is a saviour. We attend regularly for the Tuesday quiz and for food and drinks. The burgers are very good and the need dripping fries are lush. (Though they...

We always have a nice time here, friendly and cosy and great for a family lunch, or evening drinks/dinner. We love the roast, veggie version is great.

This remains one of my favourite pubs in East London. The atmosphere is laid back & friendly and this Saturday night they had a DJ though the music wasn't so loud that you couldn't chat. The menu consists mainly of burgers but they are very,...

Booked this for friends birthday. Great karaoke room for about 15 of us. We got the party platter which was really good value.

Only the 2nd time I’ve visted due to being a northerner 1st time for drinks 2nd time for drinks and food both times staff been friendly and efficient it was packed today with the football being in hardly any ques food came quickly and hot...

We hired the function room for an event. The room is spacious. The staff were very helpful. They made our day a huge success.

Unfortunately las night wasnt a pleasant experience at the Leyton Star, due only to the extreme rudeness we received from Carl the assistant manager (I think that is his name, his picture is attached anyway). I tried to use my Leyton card as I had...

Have been here a couple of times for the Sunday roast and loved it. The service has always been super relaxed and friendly. Unfortunately came here for a second time where the vegetarian option had changed and was not very nice at all. I really...

Awesome pub with good vibes. Fab friendly staff - seems to draw a nice crowd. Oh, and I could eat their fries and deep fried pickles all day long. Bath me in truffle aioli!

Came here with a couple of friends for a catch-up over weekend drinks. The food menu has a heavy emphasis on burgers, but great burgers they are. I went with the Frank (which includes blue cheese and truffle mayo), which I loved on previous occasions...

Came in for a pint, and ended up grabbing a Sunday roast with a friend. He had the beef, I had the veggie roast - - both were excellent (veggie gravy and loaf were super tasty), with amazing fixings. Definitely exceeded my expectations, and was...

The Leyton Star has become my local over the last few years, having tried many of the other drinking establishments nearby my home. It wins by a decent margin these days too! They serve food that is tasty, what people want to eat and not...

Nice place with a good selection of beers and big garden. Also had some burgers, which were delicious, I especially enjoyed vegetarian option.

Always keen to try a well reviewed pub within walking distance of the Central Line, I popped in for a couple of hours shortly after opening on a day off. It appears there is tickle of gentrification in this otherwise down-at-heel neighbourhood, obviously led by...

I’ve been here a few times for lunch and I really think I’ve found a great spot I can make my regular lunch time spot!

A hidden gem of a place. Great atmosphere and fantastic service from booking dinner and Karaoke for 40+ people right through to the end of a song filled night; the staff at the Leyton Star were attentive and welcoming. Traditional turkey Christmas dinner with all...

I’ve been to the Leyton Star for Sunday lunch many times now, and every time the food is outstanding. Traditional Sunday roasts complimented with great drinks and a great environment

Buenas pintas y comida. Tiene una terraza bastante grande y se ambienta bastante a partir de las 9 o así

We stuffed ourselves silly on the food here, the wings, the frickles, the sliders and truffle chips were simply incredible. A great selection of gins too, couldn’t recommend more, especially on a sunny day in their beer garden.

We went to the Star after a visit to nearby Leyton Orient. Its only a few minutes walk from Leyton Tube Station. When we got in there were plenty of seats but by 530pm and the start of the live match it was standing room...

I hired out the function room at this venue because the space is very nice and a good size. On the night we were provided with a bar tender as was agreed. She was blindly drunk from the beginning of the night and quite frankly...

The service in this pub was good, the food was good quality and value and it has a great atmosphere when it has live Football on. It has a big beer garden, has several bus routes that stop right outside and is only a few...

Good vibes all round, helpful and lovely staff, nice range of drinks, and the best roast in east London!
