Reviews of Bat & Ball
C. F.
Fairly priced pub with good food. Options to play ping pong and pool. With a private karaoke room available upon request. I ordered some beer (approx. £6.50) and a meat feast for around £13.50.
Pizza's start at £10 and are freshly made(delicious). Plenty of seating and friendly staff. (Haven't seen this place late evening). They also have sports playing on tv screens.
K. A.
We came in for our anniversary and had such a great night! We will be coming back.
We played ping pong but unfortunately we didn't book karaoke in time so we will need to return to do that.
The barman (I think he said his name was K) was absolutely brilliant. He made us lots of delicious cocktails. He is a credit to your team. Thank you!!
P. V.
Great pub with good music, wide variety of drinks and decent selection of food! Great place to go with friends for an evening of fun! Do carry some form of photo ID to enter the pub. Also has a games hall with Ping Pong tables. The pub could benefit from providing more choices of vegetarian food. 👍👍
m. A.
You can play table tennis, beer pong and pool. They have a decent drinks and food menu and generally friendly staff. In all not a bad please to have a drink with your mates or other persons.
A. W.
The place wasn't too busy and it was nice to sit and have a quick drink. The cocktails looked very impressive but didn't taste as good as they looked. We weren't there long but I would probably go back and try a different one another time if I was in the area.

This two floor bar in the heart of Stratford's Westfield shopping centre sits this leisure sports concept of ping pong and pool tables.
Bat & Ball, is great for after shopping, work drinks and couples or group friends day/evenings out.
The lower floor (entrance)has a rather large seated bar area with two sides, one for those coming for drinks and dining. The other side pretty much the same, but the other side you can feel the concept.
When I arrived there were a few staff ready too greet guests as they entered - great to see that. So, I felt very welcomed here.
I went upstairs to the area of the ping pong and pool tables, with multiple screens showing live sports also playing a variety of music classics genre.
I ordered using the QR code for my table. As could see that the bar person was busy with a group. I had too give a 4 star rating only not getting 5 star because the WiFi reception is pretty poor. And took me 15mins too get a signal so could order via there app.
The food was great, was served my pint in under 5mins and my food followed 5mins after. It was pretty busy when I arrived.
T. P.
Had a few drinks and a classic hotdog. The portions were great and the service was amazing. Theodora was extremely knowledgeable and helpful and was very enthusiastic about the venue moving soon, and explained everything about it to us.
m. b.
Sunday night so not too busy. We only stayed for one drink but it had a nice atmosphere / vibe.
E.
Average grub. Decent beer. Good staff.
Worth a punt
R.
Nice atmosphere and nice food, which was served to our table very quickly. However, we had booked to play pool, and I would not recommend this location for that. They are way more focused on ping pong (and they have a really great set up for that), whereas pool seems like an afterthought, with only 2 tables which are in the way of foot traffic and pool queues of poor quality.
S. S.
This is a sports bar which although it has many positives, I feel I cannot give 5* due to factors that the place did have control over and the way it handles conflicts.
Booked in at quite an expensive price of 25 quid for the UCL final and there were five of us reserved. Getting in was a bit of a hassle as there was 2 lines for reserved and unreserved. Even then, it took ages.
Pros: Decent atmosphere, drinks were good and OK priced, an OK amount of screens available.
Cons: Food overpriced, bar was packed out very heavily, took a while getting into the venue but the worst thing was the way a fight was handled. A group of Liverpool fans and Madrid fans started fighting. Took over 5 minutes for the first fight to initially be handled, and then it escalated again after as the remnants of the groups then started fighting AGAIN 5 minutes later! This led to a very intimidating atmosphere.
Overall: I would recommend this place but be wary that the way they handle some things is fairly poor.
N. C.
Decent hour of fun playing beer pong. Staff were mostly nice and helpful. The receptionist of the pong section was frustratingly blunt however, and looked like she hated being there. This took away from the overall experience. 4 stars.
V.
Great selection of beers. Lovely food, with a good range of grill items. Slightly more expensive but better than average pub grub
Very central. Just outside the Westfield shopping centre
D. J.
A very good place to socialize with your friends and colleagues. It gives a good mix vibes of cozy restaurant and club. They also have karoake nights at times. There are a good options of mocktails and vegan food too. I loved the loaded nachos and curly fries.
B. F.
Been to this place a few times now for leaving drinks. Not too ridiculous on pricing and generally the staff are friendly. They sell the usual snack food, burgers etc etc which are ok but we erred here fir drinks mainly. We didn't play any ping pong. It can get busy. The security can be a bit over the top, they need to remember that if customers are tipsy, it's because they have been putting money behind the bar which pays their wages!
R. B.
Great atmosphere, decent prices and good selection of Beers.big TV screens to watch football.
j. p.
It's nice place to chill🍻🍻 and eat🤤
Staff is also nice and supportive 😊
A. I.
Really good pub with nice music and friendly staff. The price are normal and the location is inside of Westfield market. Also if you are in lucky with a nice day you can find table outside.
H. B.
I love this place for karaoke, such a good atmosphere with friends/family. They also have other activities to do there such as pool and ping pong. I asked about the pricing of pool, extortionate. Better off going to your local pool place that’s only £1 for a game. (4 stars)
Updated review: As I had a good experience I went back for my birthday for karaoke. I had a booking from 11pm to 12am (into my birthday). I was aware that 12am was closing time. I was reassured by a staff member that due to the previous group overrunning that we would still get our full hour despite it closing. As soon as 12am hit, security came in and informed we had to leave. We explained that we were told we would get the whole hour, we had around 10minutes left (the screen shows time left). He left stating he would give us 3 minutes and returned shortly despite us still having more time. Our karaoke session was cut slightly short with his disturbance. What a great start to my birthday, not! As we left, there were still customers at the bar and the staff who lied to us wasn’t in sight. Disappointed! (2 stars).
I also wanted to add that they had a post on Instagram with a chance of winning a karaoke session for up to 12 mates. I was the only one that commented on the post and when I dm’d them on Instagram to ask if I won as I was the only one that entered, they deleted the post and did not respond!
Further update: after posting my review I was contacted through Instagram and was told that this was a post that was put up in the summer so therefore was taken down as it was no longer running. The manager also emailed and apologised for the inconvenience that was caused on the day and also offered a discount for next time in return as a good gesture. I am happy with the management in dealing with the situation and hope to have a good experience next time (3 stars)
Additional update: I returned with some colleagues and had a much better experience due to management resolving my previous issue which I appreciated (4 stars)
N. S.
Great pub, good vibes, friendly staff. They have a fairly large selection of drinks at affordable prices. If you are going for food, I recommended their Neapolitan Style Pizzas! You can also go there to watch live sports, aswell as play table tennis, pool and beer pong upstairs, so there is plenty to do. There is a brand new private UV karaoke booth with over 20,000 songs - a perfect excuse to gather your pals and belt out your favourite tunes. Private hire is also available, you just need to contact them in advance.
J. A.
We happened to come to this place cos the vibe looked nice and cool inside. However, Pizza was okay, Chicken wings were too dry, Amstel the beer we ordered tasted so bad.
J. A.
Went for a game of pool with a friend, and the only issue of the night was when i ordered a disarrono sour, to receive a half empty glass with no foam or garnish. I let a manager know and they immediately apologised and replaced the drink with no issues, so no problem.
Music is decent, prices are fair. Going individually is a bit dull, but for small groups makes for a fun evening
J. R.
Came with some friends to celebrate my 25th, and it was a great night! We did pool, table tennis and then beer pong, so much fun. And I have to shout out to Sandeep, he took care of everything for us and was an absolute legend. Thank you man, you’re a real one x ✌🏼❤️
T.
Overall was nice food and general place but a whole room of people booked to watch the Arsenal game and they didn't change the channel until 6-7 minutes had already gone and we'd missed the first goal. Not good enough for a sports bar.
A. T.
Service was on point. Atmosphere and decor were impeccable. We ordered everything from the tapas menu and l everything was good except for the cod & veg balls? The aioli that came with it had a very burnt after taste to it. Overall, everything was excellent and would definitely come back again
D. P.
While I loved the interior and excellent customer service, I wasn't excited about the food. I got the chicken avocado wrap that I personally didn't enjoy, but my friends seemed to like their choices.
What we all agreed on though, is that the garlic bread could be better. It was way too thin and looked burned. I didn't take a photo of that and I wish I did, but it still was.
Cool thing is that you are given 30 minutes to play ping pong!
Overall, great place, would recommend 😊
M. M.
Nice cosy place. For adults and kids. We were upstairs in the indoor table tennis rooms. Loafs of fun. Kids loved it and then we tucked into some nice pizza and chips.
G.
amazing staff, cool venue nice location. heard a customer complain about a glass of wine and act like a complete tool but the gentleman behind the bar handled it like a champ, this place clearly knows how to hire good people
R. F.
Teo was very welcoming, great soul music playing, warm atmosphere and drinks are Delish ! Well kept beer and aperol spritz was perfect ☺️
D. B.
I had a ball. Hahaha
No honestly never been before and had so so much fun. I will book it again soon.
Would suggest they put air conditioning upstairs as it gets a hot & sweaty playing ping pong ect...
Other than sweating my nuts off.....Good vibes and atmostpher :)
k. D.
Nice and lovely place..
Great a very warm staff..
Very attentive at the tables and always quick service.
Security lady at the door, around 21.30..was not friendly at all and very very, unkind when asked why she stopped my Daughter..replied with a aggressive look.
What's her age..
Well devided place, downstairs and great upstairs area with Bar on both floor.
We had salads...it was ok..but I was expecting the Ceaser salad to be a little fresher..but every place has it's own style.
We sat on the ground floor, to the back next to the way to the toilets..
Really really really nice lady serving us..
Well done made my night.
Great also for shopping..all standard and top shops are around this Area..
P. P.
I was in bat and ball two sunday's ago with my mate. The visit almost turn sour with some guys being racist, the aggrieved guys asked them to step/come out and fight but the security guy in charge stepped in and made a very bad situation turn to a state of calm and peace by making them to re evaluate their actions.
It could have been worst or even a possible free for all fight. I think big security guy applied top diplomacy to reassure the aggrieved and totally de-escalate the situation.
Also want to say the service generally was great and love the marinated chicken wings
H. R.
Staff were good, food arrived cold chips for both of us. Fresh chips were hot, did get a discount for their mistake.
Dont think we would return.
L. O.
Great service from K! Great cocktails and food!
A. H.
Very expensive. £20 to play pool for an hour. £15 to play table tennis for 30 minutes. £12 for ribs on it's own.
J. S.
Love this place! Nice social place to hang out and play pool or ping pong. Very lively atmosphere inside and they have available tables most of the time although during the evenings it can get very busy.
The food was also nice we ordered some pizza, fries and drinks and ate and played. I also ordered some dessert (Fruit Sundae) which was absolutely exceptional - probably one of the best sundaes that I have had.
The only drawback for me was the loud blaring music in the place which makes it hard if you want to concentrate on the game, but there are plenty of people there! All in all, the first time I have visited and most likely I will be going there again either with some friends or during a work night organised by the company.

Great pizza, service is nice and friendly and the activities you can do here really add to a great time, pool and ping pong tables and even a karaoke room, love this place
R. P.
It was really good such a laugh but it was why to hot in there and the bathrooms were quite unclean. Good music and many laughs 😃
C. j.
Amazing place to have fun with your friends or colleagues, they have a decent amount of new songs in their karaoke
G. C.
Nice quite drink. Bar staff friendly and helpful. Will definately go back there when I'm in the area again
C. M.
Lovely place to sit, relax after shopping and grab a quick bite and drink
L.
A wonderful place for drinks. I’ve come here before for ping pong which was fun. Nice drinks and vibes were good. Staff friendly and service was ok in terms of responsiveness and speed. A great go to for a chill and hang with friends.
V. G.
Such a great place !! I had the time of my life ! We arrived there early in the afternoon and played ping-pong for an hour. It’s a great way of spending the afternoon, it changes from the usual pubs. We then went downstairs for cocktails and food. I highly recommend the ribs ! So tasty ! I will definitely come back for the food and for the ping pong.
A. U.
Great service from entrance till the end of my night. Great cocktails and bar tenders/waitresses, have been looking after me and my friends with and excellent service and really accommodating. I had a great pin pong time and table pool also. Looking forward to go again
T. H.
Love the concept, bar staff guy was great, cocktails lush but could do with a happy hour or 241 cocktails to increase custom for more atmosphere as was really quiet.
F. M.
I and my friends had a such Great time at Bat & Ball. The Staff are all great and friendly. We loved the music, food, we played Ping Pong and we enjoyed the Karaoke hahaha. I strongly recommend Bat & Bat.
D. H.
Late night supper and beer under cover but in the open air, very pleasant indeed. Great service but my fries had clearly been hanging around and were past their best. The beer and classic Hot Dog were fine. I've been back with a pal for a beer and enjoyed the place again.
G. C.
Nice quite drink. Bar staff friendly and helpful. Will definately go back there when I'm in the area again
T. C.
Great atmosphere Nachos are to die for. Best place for fun and drinks in Westfield. Music is good and security is great. Take I.D no matter what your age.
D. R.
Had 2 evenings out there, on both occasions had a truly great night... Bar and door staff are all great, and love that the music is banging out the tunes ( gotta get my dance on haha ) well deserved 5 stars from me and look forward to my next visit..
A. S.
On a Friday before xmas it was harder getting in here than on a prison visit - even as a couple and when it was half-empty - but you're not exactly spoilt for choice when it comes to boozers in Westfields. This was the first time I had my picture taken and a name ID check to get into a pub. Table service downstairs worked well, and good sounds in the upstairs bar were worth getting a closer ear too. Closed at 1am and didn't mess about getting u out quick.
R. T.
We would like to especially thank Theodora for their fantastic service. We were very worried as our child "Football" was nowhere to be seen. We were beside ourselves. Thankfully, as the 90 minutes went on, she helped us realise that "Football" was actually at home the whole time.
Football is not coming, it has came home 🏡
J. O.
Great bar, lovely interior, it’s buzzing, the staff are polite and approachable. It’s in the center of Westfield so can have a bit of night life, down time with friends or colleagues. We had some nibbles which were generous portions. Music not too loud so you can have a good conversation and vibe to the beats. Overall decent experience.
M. B.
We booked a pool table for an hour and it was fun! However the table was placed in a really awkward place between a que of people lining up and a glass barrier so made playing sort of awkard sometimes. We didnt get any food but it looked and smelled delicious!
T. B.
Good food, friendly helpful staff. Quick service. App is easy to download and order from your table.
A. G.
Its a nice place to have a drink with your friends.Long ID checks on the entrance.Tables booking should be free of charge( u obviously will spend money going out) Lots to do..pool, table tennis, darts, karaoke( room needs improvement,very loud noise between songs,only 1mic is working at a time,u cant sing with anyone else as u wont be heard) Overall a good night out.
B. R.
Great service from very friendly and professional staff member Evija, tasty selection of cocktails, handy location... Music was good too 👍. Glad I stopped by for a while on a Wednesday early evening. 🌃
P. M.
Very busy but managed to get our drinks quickly. Had to wait for the area upstairs to open before we could get a seat.
K. T.
Good food and selection of drinks. Wasn't aware of reduced menu and restrictions when there's a match on in the Olympic Park!
C. j.
Amazing place to have fun with your friends or colleagues, they have a decent amount of new songs in their karaoke
L. M.
My first visit, nice bar. Good music, a bit loud, but then I'm old! 😂
A. G.
The service is really good, great music and atmosphere as well as the food and drinks. Just be prepared to spend quite a bit for the night.
A. E.
I’ve been there at Sunday busy afternoon and pizza comes after 15 min so pretty damn good time for order! Staff was friendly and 4* is just because pepperoni on pizza wasn’t fresh in my opinion it was a bit sour.
G. K.
Great venue for sports lovers. Excellent choice of beer and great food make for a fun visit, whether to watch a game on the big TVs or play ping pong etc upstairs. Big outdoor seating area has been added since pandemic, so now even better seating options, and you can order and pay via an app which speeds up ordering at busy times.
M. M.
Huge Pub with Ping Pong Tables. Bar upstairs and downstairs. Service can be slow when people are ordering cocktails. 5 minute walk from Stratford Tube.
T. B.
Very good meal a bit dear for what you got staff were very good I would go back there
N. E. A.
Not too bad. Humble menu but friendly staff. Not a lot of options and not very allergen friendly. Prices are affordable and location is good.
M. S.
Place good, DJ don’t come here before your skill has grown.
L. W.
First time coming here and have had great service food and cocktails. The food portions were quite big and not over priced either. They made me a perfect espresso Martini. Also they play awesome music on Saturday nights — the DJ was on fire!
K.
Really friendly staff, clean throughout and open plan so didn't feel crowded!
d.
Nice bar, good food, pizzas great, relaxing place to chill out
D. S.
The staff were friendly and helpful. We sat outside and so didn't make use of any of the ping pong or pool table facilities so couldn't comment on this. The bar snack menu is ok and the pulled pork hot dog I had was nice. Reasonably priced. Bar service or app ordering for table service... However, as my brother ordered I didn't take a look at the range of drinks. Toilets also ok but limited sinks to toilet ratio - clean though.
G. D.
Awesome DJ and space to play ping-pong, snooker and a room for karaoke(upstairs).
Also there is a big area on the ground floor with many tables to sit and chill with some drinks and a good food.
R. P.
It was really good such a laugh but it was why to hot in there and the bathrooms were quite unclean. Good music and many laughs 😃
G. O.
All good doormen were polite and lady on reception was polite. One man spilt his drink on the floor and asked for it to be cleaned up and the young girl just chucked some kitchen roll on floor and walked off, and didnt come back for half hour and when she did she still left it there, she also dropped a fork on the floor and put it back in the cutlery. Such a shame as a good place. Nice beer and bar staff great, very polite.
P. M.
Thanks Aadi for doing very nice hair route colour and hair curles loving it
U. N.
Nice venue.Delicious pizza.And friendly staff.Highly recommended pub to visit.
R. H.
Disappointing visit. Most of my wife's choices were off the menu. Settled on a pork dog each. Luke warm frankfurter in a huge white bread roll sitting on top of curly fries. Brew dog beers were very good and served by very pleasant girls. Service charge was added and amounted to over 10%. Certainly would not entertain another visit. Foul language filtered down from the upstairs games area which was also disconcerting. 3 stars due to the service from the young ladies.
M. U.
Nice bar in Westfield Stratford, it gets really busy on match days. Good vibes and great drinks.
Ľ. O.
Nice bar with nice people, you can play ping pong, drink and eat and have a lot of fun. But sometimes the music volume could be less. Overall will go there again soon!
S.
Good Bar to go play Pool 🎱 and ping pong. Cool atmosphere to be honest. Really good spot for after work hangouts. Also a good spot to hangout for tourist 👍.
A. C.
Nice food and atmosphere but chips were cold.
J. M.
Just had a quick drink here but staff was very nice! Cool that you can play ping pong and games upstairs.
m. h.
Had a good time eating, drinking and playing table tennis. Dropped a star for an unhelpful member of staff.
S. K. P.
It's the best place for adults! They have drinks and loada of games to play, but you have to book in advance.
R. T.
Had an amazing cocktail made by Laura, I could tell she is pro so I asked for a recommendation and I'm glad I did. Very friendly people behind the bar.
K. I.
Good pub with table tennis and pool.
Best buffalo wings.
Moving to a new location soon.
D. L.
Great sports bar,good service, lots of sport memorabilia on the walls. Good selection of drinks and food.
S. D.
Decor is good and the facilities look good a for a group night out.
We went for lunch and a beer tbh it wasn't good. Fries were old and wrap was below average. Beer was a bit flat too.
I'll dodge this place next time I think although there's worse places around
J. W.
A good place to enjoy sports but not an ideal pub/bar. The security are pretty rude and always require physical id to enter even though we are pretty aged people.
S. M.
Great selection of draught beers, including IPA. Good selection of cocktails and, although I didn't eat, the pizzas looked and smelt fantastic!
R. Z.
Been several times this season and it’s constantly good during busy match days.
Quick table service and decent food too.
C. B.
We had the Christmas Staff Party, the food was delicious the music was very good, it was a little bit crowded, but we felt amazing!
T. L. W.
Never had a bad night in bat and ball, it's local, reasonably priced and a fun night out.
A. L.
It was lovely. The staff were very helpful, the environment was relaxing. The karaoke session was top notch. I will definitely be going back again.
T. B.
Great staff and fantastic food, it was quite busy when I visited but the service was quick and very good. I will definitely return next time I'm in Stratford.
J. F.
Had a great time at bat and ball. Proper drinks and cracking game of pool with the lads, shoutout to the games host Daniel who was a right laugh and gave us a bit of extra table time
C. M.
Lovely place to sit, relax after shopping and grab a quick bite and drink
M. D.
We were fortunate enough to book a table for the Euro 2020 final - England v Italy. We had never been to the Bat and Ball before but we were all pleasantly surprised by our experience. The atmosphere was electric and the staff could not have been more friendly - including the door staff who have been criticised on previous reviews. I would especially like to mention both Agnes and Philipa (apologies if I have spelled incorrectly) - both ladies had excellent customer service skills and made our night even more enjoyable - they’re a credit to the company.
I will definitely be recommending your venue to friends and family.
Thanks for a great night and enjoy your golden lion 🦁!!
A. E. S. L.
Nice pub and staff helpful and friendly
s. a.
Nice vibe,would be 5 star if I wasn't ignored at the bar
B. C.
Nice bar with the highlight being the ping ping and snooker tables on the 2nd floor. Good selection of drinks (London prices) but would benefit it had a wider selection of finger food. Not a place to have a nice chat as the music is loud
O. T.
Great place. Had a few goes on ping pong and pool. Brilliant place for groups and for drinks, never tried the food. I put a couple of hours in with my son while wife and daughter shopped
L. A.
Good relaxing vibes here.
B. Z.
I really liked the music and there was so much to do, the Karoke is fun and good value! Cocktails were nice too although I only had Zombies 😅
I. C.
Good food great service will definitely go back
K. G.
Great place to go for food and drinks. Great atmosphere

F. T.
Cool sports bar to hang out with some friends. Love the cocktails🍸
W. C.
My first visit with friends on boxing Day 2021, great atmosphere good selection of beers and good food selection.
C. D.
Excellent food was able to get table despite not booking just needed to give up table after 90mins due to prebookings which was fine as was plenty of time to eat. Music was a bit loud which made conversation difficult but just might not be used to that 😊. Friendly service.
H. S.
Good choice of drinks, pizza was really nice.
Although very unorganised place. Been there few times and always something goes wrong with the booking, table or drinks.also if you want to watch football, this place doesn't do commentary which is strange for sports bar. Otherwise nice place.
D.
Location is good, near Stratford Station. Big venue, options to rent the tables for beer pong.
N. M.
Nice pub ,unfortunately thought food was ok,nothing really that was very different.
P. K.
Really friendly staff. Went during indoor ban so was sat outside. Food came out slightly cold, ordered wings, chips and pizza. Good portions, and taste was OK. Nothing wow, but great place to catch up with mates over a few snacks. Mains were available but didn't have any
D. D.
Brilliant, loved it here. Music and cocktails were fab. Karaoke room great fun too 👌🏽
L. D.
Had the best time for a friends 18th! Such good service , especially from our waitress Hannah who was amazing and really attentive the whole night , !!! Would def come back !
Thank you Hannah !
M. Z.
Great music and different types of games. Only minus point is that it gets way too hot in there, especially on the first floor.
J. G.
Classic sports bar, bit smaller than I imagined but good vibes. Games upstairs include beer and prosecco pong and pool, downstairs has your tables and a rentable private party room. Plenty of food and drink, good cocktails. Great place to come out with mates or a group.
b. i.
Booked a table for the euros (£40pp). Limited menu for food and drinks which wasn't mentioned when booking and hard for a veggie! The screen also kept blacking out and freezing multiple times throughout the game - devastating experience for the semis!
Also a blonde lady who was serving the section spent the first 15 minutes of the 2nd half sat down chatting to her mates while nobody in our section was being served. Very frustrating when you've got £160 worth of things to finish ordering! I think the other lady (brunette) was on a break, and when she came back it was a huge relief. Sorry I don't her name but she was great!
Good atmosphere but massive shame about the screens freezing and limited menus.
S. B.
It's a very good atmosphere the staffs are excellent the food is standard the beer is chilled to the right temperature....... For a Sunday it's a fantastic place to have lunch.
D. O.
It's good for a rowdy booze up and a nose bag. Don't forget to take your I'd for the wierd police like ID check.
R. W.
Cocktails from heaven, great atmosphere and freindly staff. Service was a little slow but food was good.
y. h.
Great beers and ciders. Nice place to sit with friends.

Sarah with a H has been amazing all night. Great service, real personable and a top evening overall.
She deserves a pay rise or a promotion
M. M.
Came here yesterday for lunch and a drink, great venue, lively atmosphere. We were served by Hope, who was amazing and very attentive. Food was tasty and well presented, big portions and fairly priced. Zombie cocktail was lush but definitely wouldn't need many. Only draw back was most of the seating is for large groups. But I would definitely come again!
R. W.
Great time, football, ping pong, beer and great music. What more would you want. Well worth checking out
P. N.
Very nice cocktails and menu. I will come back to try the upstairs game and karaoke. Staff was very pleasant
S. V.
Good selection of beers. Larger and craft beer. But no ales though. Staff friendly and helpful
T. R.
Great vibe, good choice of drinks and food came out relatively quickly considering how late we got there! Also a fantastic place to watch Brentford beat Arsenal on the big screens with loads of gooners on the verge of tears around me - fully recommend!
P. F.
Decent place to watch a game. Good beer selection. Service is slow though
N. J.
It was amazing! They accommodated me and my boyfriend and they were so safe! Every precaution being taken. We felt so safe. Even though we had to wait the lovely security guard kept us informed and made us feel so comfortable. She was amazing!! Thank you for an amazing experience
s. y.
Great atmosphere and the cocktails are awesome
S. M.
Expensive as it gets but nice atmosphere and good music
T. T.
Good a bit pricey for a game of table tennis
A. L.
Well, apart for having a limited menu due to the demise of their fryer, it was very nice. The staff were friendly, helpful and apologetic about the lack of menu.
D. M.
Nice location, staff seemed very friendly and helpful. Food was good although menu a bit limited. Had a very nice and relaxing afternoon with friends.
D. H.
Decent pub with good choice of IPA and other beers. Never tried the pizza but it looks good
M. M.
Great place to catch the F1 races! Love their pizzas too
c. w.
Good fun, good food, reasonable prices
J. K.
Great place with good vibes and great atmosphere! 👍
X.
Menu seemed a little too price but it very filling. Paid for half hour on the pool table, it was a quite afternoon and they allowed me and my cousin to play on for almost 2 hours. It was awesome! I like the atmosphere, it's a place I'd definately visit again. Even the busy periods had a warm friendly atmosphere to share with a bunch or friends and loved ones.
V. V. S.
Love watching any kind of sport they show! Guarantee good time out with friends. Vibe is awesome and staff is really nice even under busy hours.
J. J.
This is not meant as a bad review, food is decent, good selection of drinks, easy enough to book, however if going to watch sports need to not play music at the same time
J. D.
Visited more recently as lockdown was being relaxed. Seating was outside with take service. We were shown quickly to our table and our orders were taken very promptly. Selection of beer is still good, food not bad. Think I'll choose something else than a hotdog next time, wasn't value for money IMO.
Good service, nice atmosphere. Somewhat random music. There's a hand pull on the bar suggesting that ales may be available, but this wasn't the case on my visit. Regardless, there's a good selection of beers from keg and a wide range of drinks in the fridge. A decent place for an hour or two on a Friday night.
t. e.
Amazing place could use a happy hour or 3 though
F. A.
Great drinks and was not expensive. For a Friday night, we thought we wouldn’t get a table but staff were lovely and managed to get us a table and we didn’t have to wait too long!
a. g.
If you wanted to relax after work, this is the best place
U. A.
Great place for a drink and a good game of ping pong. Good sitting arrangement and options for a meal and or drinks.
A. C.
Delicious food, waiters are very attentive, and super nice Plus it’s all at an affordable price.
Can totally recommend it and will definitely come back again.
M. J.
The reason for the 4 stars is because of because of your employees. We were sitting outside and they always pushed the chair or bumped into it, not apologising or whatsoever. Apart from that, it was great.
R. B.
Plenty of seating and Really good place in the Srratford Westfield shopping centre to have a drink and watch sport in between shopping. Food looked good.
E. M. R.
The Bat and Ball is alright - the pizza is *really* good, but the fries were a bit disappointing. More disappointing was the lack of a single non-dairy milk! Drinks were good and the atmosphere for most of our lunch was great! We would have played table tennis upstairs, but the £8 for 30 minutes charge after all we had spent on food and booze felt a bit steep. Great for families - we had 3 kids with us (6, 4, and 5 months) and had no issues. We will definitely go back for the pizza!
G. J.
Great bar in a prime location at Westfield Stratford. Bar service was a little slow, but staff were friendly and professional.
B. B.
We only stopped by to relax and have a drink with my bff. Atmosphere was chilled. Quick service and friendly staff.
C. F.
Great place to visit. Two high level. Good seating area. Drinks like anywhere are expensive, however no more expensive in other bars in Westfield. Upstairs have pool tables and table tennis. Great fun if you are up for it. The staff are friendly and my friend and I were there for an hour. A lot of people on ground level. Not many upstairs.
J. C.
The alcohol is expensive and it's £1.50 to play the pool table. However, the atmosphere is great with wide open spaces for colleagues to stand and chat. The music wasn't so loud I could hold a conversation with someone. Good for big groups
D. S.
Does a job for pre West Ham drinks. Does jugs of lager and really good pizzas
N. S.
You need to have your ID to get in, don't forget it! If you're visiting London, your passport will do. The guard even accepted a picture of a passport on someone's phone but I don't know if that's standard practice.
It's a fun place. We came here for the Karaoke room. It's around £10 per person for an hour which isn't bad. The database of songs is good and you can have a pitcher of water in your room if you get thirsty. The room can get warm. It fits 5 people comfortably, 8 or 9 is a bit tight.
B. D.
You have to order food through there app due to covid. It does take a bit of time to do this but once you order your food comes super quick. Excellent place to chill get something to eat. Table tennis is upstairs and its great for a laugh.
A. H.
Nice place good concept but i feel it's pricey!
J. G.
Nice, clean restaurant/pub. As child friendly as a place can be, just because they have children chairs. And that's that. Quite pricey, the pizza we had was near to nothing, as there was mostly base, tomato sauce and some mozzarella, when it should have had many other things (scarcely thrown on it). Not impressed. Also, expect 12.5% service charge to be added to your bill, which was not pleasant. Though I saw that it is something usual these days. Also, I didn't appreciate that the waitress was literally marching up and down the 4 tables she was serving, as she had nothing to do and asking every now and then if everything was ok. Well, it would have been...if I could have had my bite of food without being interrupted and feeling like I was under supervision. I won't go there for sure. But it is great for drinks, I saw they have a big bar, if that is of any help.
A. B.
Lovely place with some great outdoor seating if you don't fancy being inside.
J.
The light above the pool table didn't work so playing in the dark. Also they put table and chairs wayyy too close to the pool table so you can't take a shot without upsetting someone who is sitting and eati f food. Can't understand how no-one has had the commonsense to remedy this. Staff are nice, beer is nice, perhaps a little overpriced.
S. B.
Very expensive very busy. Luckily we got a booth. Everyone we left the venue to smoke we had to queue up again to get in and they check your bags but not that throughly. They have a dance floor upstairs I think but you needn't go upstairs as the music is so loud anyway and they seem to turn it up later on the evening. The music is the usual boring chart music nothing interesting. Good for a meeting place and maybe a drink or too. They food wasn't too bad but around £12-15 a plate
D. C.
Good place to have some fun after a hard work.
J. S.
Really good experience at the Bat and Ball!
I started off at the bar downstairs good service though a little slow.
Went upstairs and was greated by a very nice chap Alex at reception, explained everything to us and even came by to play a few games with us when he could. Taught us a lot!
Maybe a few more offers would be good.
We had some pizzas which were awesome very cool place!
B. O.
Worth while a visit. Check it out .🍺🍺😁😁
J. C.
Had an amazing night celebrating mine and a friends 19th Birthday.. special mention to the security guard Angela who’s energy was AMAZING. She made it clear that she really loved her job and made our night even better. Staff were polite, food and drinks were lovely, beer pong was a lot of fun. Will definitely be returning!!
D. H.
I popped in with my girlfriend for just one pint. As there was some football match on TV, we couldn't get a sit in the bar area but the staff was very friendly and let us sit in the dining area. Then we realised that they have table tennis upstairs so we joined. Raul was super nice and helped us to get the table of our choice. We had a great time and definitely we will come back.
z. f.
Very loud and busy, so it's not good if you have social anxiety but they do have a private karaoke room which you can enjoy with your friends and feel comfortable because you're excluded from the public. I really enjoyed singing with my colleagues yeah it's just fun
L. L.
On arrival I wasn't approached by a host/waitress until I asked myself if I could have a table. They sat me down and told me to use the barcode to find the menu. I ordered a glass of wine, and when told the total (10.25ish) I asked if service was included so I could tip. The waitress said no and bought over the receipt then abruptly left. From that point on no waitress came over to ask if everything was alright, I couldn't get anyones attention to order food and in the end I just left, a little shocked and hungry. I explained to the waitress when leaving why I asked if service was included and she was surprised and looked embarrassed. It could have been a much better experience, but it was a nice place plus everyone was working hard.
D. B.
Celebrated a friends birthday here. Precooked beer pong. A£40 for 1 hour wasn’t too bad. Service was quick when ordering food. Food was really good. Overall good place to have fun. Staff where friendly.
K. D.
Absolutely amazing service from the manager Warren and Rob also. They never fail to put a smile on our faces. Thanks for always making it a great experience for us. If you're in Stratford Westfield, this is the place to go.
P. J.
Great pub and service!
We decided to stop here for a pint, variety of selection for beer, cold and refreshing after all day shopping - Just what we needed.
Looking at the menu we decided to try their homemade pizzas! Spot on! Service really friendly and polite from bartenders to waitresses. They looked after us well and from a quick pint we actually stayed there for good couple of hours!! We had an amazing evening.
Thank you and will be back for sure with friends !!! Want to try the ping pong tables !!
C. A.
Wonderful place, from having a drink to uber get me home place
Funn with ping pong and pool games
Also it has this karaoke thing.
100% recommended
s. b.
Love this place and you can choose either beer or cider.
A. V.
Great fun. Ping pong, pool, karaoke. Drink & food
O. D.
First time in the Bat & Ball, they have loads of table tennis upstairs and l think private room for more .....privacy. Was there on a Friday night and they had a DJ .. l think l paid about £27 for a bottle of wine it was okay. l also order shot ....lemon something.... not sure what l was served but they really need to update the shots to match venues atmosphere. The DJ was great and the bar staff were nice and friendly . it's a good place for a first date.......
A. S.
great drinks and great people. Such a great place to go.
S. W.
Nice drinks and food. Service was a bit slow but staff were friendly and it had a relaxed atmosphere.
W. K.
I like the place, but the service is not good. I got to one side of the bar and waited probably about 10min until someone give me a sign that they noticed me. The bar lady was busy, but not that busy, wasn't crowded or anything. She just needs to look around from time to time and make an eye contact as a confirmation that she knows I am waiting and she will help me when she is done with the beers which she was pouring. Eventually I moved to the other side where a barman was making cocktails. I waited again for 10 or maybe 15 min. I was in front of him, I know he knew I am there,yet no eye contact,no greeting,no any sort of reasuarance that he will help me as soon as he can. I think that's really bad service. As much as I like some places,when the service is bad, I don't want to go there again. When somewhere I get good service, I like to go again and again because it makes you feel more special and is just nice when someone greets you with a smile.
Therefore 0 star for service,5 star for the place because they have Lafroag and the average is 3 stars... because of the scotch actually :)
S. L.
Great place to watch football or play pool or take tennis, however the BBQ Chicken wings were less than average. The wings way too large, not cleaned well and probably reheated with very little sauce on it.
Quite disappointing.
T. F.
Very friendly staff and atmosphere & good effort adding a vegan option pizza to the menu and also showing which wines were vegan friendly.
Only downside is that the vegan pizza was a bit bland. It would be nice to have also a an option with vegan cheese as Pizza Express or Zizzi are doing. Hence the 3 stars review.
S. C.
Service slow and added onto your bill without explanation. Dogs allowed in while you're eating (extremely large dogs). Overpriced drinks but food was ok
S. H.
Great night out. You can book table tennis or beer pong.
Good music great atmosphere and friendly staff.
B. H.
Always good vibes at this place. Good casual local with a lot of life! Been coming here for years with my work colleagues and we all love it. Whether we are playing ping pong, stuffing our faces, dancing to the live DJs vibes or just getting in a few drinks we always end up staying till close!
M. D.
Clean tidy l believe anyone trying to one day have a enjoyed facilities.
T. C.
Overpriced small portions but service is quick and there is good space inside
J. C.
Overall a great, affordable evening. Would have given five stars but the doormen and security inside the venue were quite rude and seem to make up their own rules as they went along. Bar staff were really friendly. Would recommend the beer pong!
a. s.
We visited to watch American football which I stated in the booking and again there was no sound or commentary But this time I spoke to one of your supervisor called Teagan her customer service was excellent she asked the one important question what can I do to fix this for you? She spoke to her manager and moved us down to the private room with big screen and that all important commentary thank you Teagan above and beyond 😁
M. B.
Games hall area was extremely great. Food was awesome, chose of food was fantastic. John, Agnes, and Ruge was very helpful!
A.
Mains withi no sides is a bit of a let down. Fries were among the best I've had in any restaurant. Hot dog was amazing. Zombie cocktail is something I liked. Will be going back again.
K. T.
It's a bar in a shopping centre - and that's what you're getting. I like the place though. Good drink selection, reasonable food menu (although I haven't tried it yet), some good weekday deals. I'm local so often end up here for convenience but always have an enjoyable time.
N. Q.
The price for table tennis is affordable compared to other places in London, from £16 for an hour. However, the place gets so busy it is hard to attain a spot to play in the first place but if you do get the opportunity do take it!
D. N.
Good fun. A bit too busy at times. But overall decent.
f.
If you eating then your funnelled to a certain area of the restaurant, prices are extortionate. £4 for a glass of lemonade, sticky tables.
I. R. (. 1. P.
Slow, slow and slow again service and for a Nothern boy, blooming expensive. Food was expensive £18 for ribs and wings, someone is a winner, not me!
M. T.
Lunchtime. Friendly atmosphere. Great staff. Smoked salmon with broccoli that was cooked perfectly. Good beers. Pleasantly surprised as I thought it would be just another theme pub.
J. M.
Fantastic pub with a excellent games floor.
A.
Good beer and food long wait
A. H.
Went on a Saturday afternoon. Pizzas, hot dogs nachos and beer. All very food quality and if my 2 kids polished it off, it must be good! Only downside was a half hour wait for food, but if it's cooked fresh then half hour isn't that bad!
D. 0.
Okay vibe
Too expensive
Food service too slow - was ignored at the counter for 5 mins. Gave up.
M. A.
Great concept, comfy and cozy downstairs, competitive games upstairs.
N. D.
Lovely staff. Nice and cool place to have a drink and play pool, ping pong and or course karaoke!
J. W.
A surprising find in a location such as this, but the Bat and Ball really lends itself to a good night out. A wide selection of craft beers, good wines, top shelf spirits and fun cocktails all hosted in a venue with ping pong, pool, karaoke, beer pong and sports screens.
Very enjoyable.
S. E.
Has a great night here. Good service, pizza was good wine was good, hangover was deserved. Music was very good a little hard to have a conversation at times as it was a little too loud but as you drink it matters less I guess. Lol
S. A.
I like the environment, the friendly staff, the food bit pricey but it's ok.... but I like most of all the music becouse not loud and mix of any kind from new to old school...good place in company and as a hiding and chilling place to be on your own. Always feel welcomed at anytime or day! Well done guys!😄
M. B.
Good place nice vibe, went here with 3 of my friends and we did Prosecco pong which was fun and competitive however time does go quick. Good place if you don't want to go clubbing but want somewhere in between. Music was really good if you are aged around 18-30 but also played some Michael Jackson and dolly parton so it does vary but a nice mix. I had a raspberry vodka slush it was around 10 pound but was really nice. Also you don't need to be too dressed up which is nice as there is not too much pressure.
L. I.
If you get fresh food, then you are lucky. I went there 4 times in 2 months, only one time I got fresh food. Selection of lagers is small.
M. S.
It is fantastic place for entertainment and they have the best pizza in Westfield. I did a birthday party for my 10 year old daughter and all kids loved it. They had separate room for private event where I could bring my own music, did slide show on projector provided and have fun games in UV lights with glowing sticks. Kitchen manager Val was very helpful and professional and helped me organise my daughter's birthday.
J. A.
I came here to watch Arsenal play in the Europa League semi final on a Thursday, as it appeared to be a dedicated sports bar. It was quite busy with football fans and they had multiple screens, including and very large projector screen. On the downside, it was almost impossible to hear the audio - even in the area which was dedicated to the football only - due to loud music playing on the speakers. The pizza was pretty tasty and decent beers on tap
R. P.
Cool pub. Didn't expect much but ping pong tables were cool. Good selection of beers and other drinks. 4 stars as slightly pricey for a pint, even for London
M. K.
If you like table tennis you will love this joint. Good choice of alcohol. Nice party food. Prices okay for London but can get very busy, especially on match days.
J. R.
Nice place to grab a drink and eat. Pool tables a d ping pong are great fun too.
E. G.
Drinks, music, food and games all in one place! What more can you want a great night out!
J. C.
Went off peak and it was £8 an hour. We split that 4 ways on 1 table so very reasonable. Drink prices are fairly expensive but average for a trendy London bar. Would visit again.
C. W.
Drinks and reasonable pub grub at reasonable prices.
E. I.
Ribs - average, flavour - average
Wings average, beer average
Games expensive
Music just a touch too loud, for its purpose
Toilets ok
It needs refinement. It is very average
R. S.
Went here with a friend but did not eat, only had a couple of cocktails. Nice decor, drinks were a little pricey but very good. Bar man was very attentive and quick. Would visit again.
A. R.
Had to decrease the rating as we ate here, I had the quattro formaggi, which definitely did not have 4 cheeses, more like 1, maybe 1.5. Not sure if they had run out of cheese or just mugging people off. Everything else was ok with very good table service.
T. E.
Great place for drinks with some great outside space that is covered. Booked for their outside space when lockdown is over. Great customer service.
D. M. (.
Came here during the day to catch up with a friend, interior was nice and the drinks menu was pretty good. I can imagine it being a great vibe during the evening whether or not you choose to play table tennis.
L. O.
Didn't plan to go there but it was a friends birthday and we thought to just stop by. Great music and atmosphere. The play area at the top was quite busy so we sat on a quieter table downstairs.
H. M. K.
Really good food, atmosphere and staff. Only thing is the pool table is a little too close to the bar so it was a bit awkward to move around.
Z. F.
Entire ground floor of the bar was reserved when I visited. The bar is also incredibly hot and the service is slow. However this is a great after work place to hangout. There is a good cocktail selection and activities like pool
J. P.
Amazing Vibes, Wonderful Staff, Ovely food and drinks, love the activities and music! Best recommendation 🤩
D. O.
Popped in here for a couple of drinks on a friday evening our way to London stadium. Very busy, but got served quickly though! Decent range of beers served on draught or bottled. Not sure if they did food.
J. C.
This was the first time we had our christmas party at a place like bat and ball but we were happy with the overall experience. The food that we preordered caused some confusion in regards to timing but the food itself was pretty decent. We had a games master called Alex, he was brilliant and set up a tournament for us which was very much enjoyable and got everyone involved. We a lot fun so overall very happy.
F. M.
I love ping pong/table tennis and I went there to play and have a cold pint while beating my friend's arse. Music and TV was incredibly loud we couldn't enjoy the game, even speaking with the bartender was difficult. I didn't try the food when I saw the menu.
Anyway it's a fun place to spend sometimes in a big group of friends.
A. S.
Lovely setting, and friendly staff.
The food is good, not particularly special but still good quality food.
The staff and friendly but majorly lack communication between them - had three different servers ask us for a drinks order.
R. Y.
Great bar! Good food menu, lots of table tennis tables and 2 pool tables. Staff very friendly and accomadating. Shout to Warren the bar man!
J. T.
What an amazing place!! Perfect spot to watch any big sporting event...Table tennis tables spotted all around two downstairs and quite a number upstairs as a good social aspect and that expensive per hour or half hour. Staff there are amazing too and even offered to play me at table tennis too :)
i. a.
Every time I come to bat and ball I always enjoy myself. It has a great atmosphere and I love to watch big sporting events there on their screens, my only complaint is that it’s hard to play ping pong (which I really enjoy) when it’s so hot, please can management consider getting some sort of air conditioning upstairs
M. A.
Had a great time on Saturday 11th January. Lovely atmosphere, food was ok if a little pricey. The waitress Laura was very attentive.
A. T.
Great location in Westfield but pricey. Friendly but nonchalant and slow serving waiters. Pool tables need to be changed cos they are old & cue sticks are below average. Hygiene in the rest rooms can be improved on.
D. W.
Great beer, and cocktails, great staff...not so happy about being asked to leave at 6pm
T.
Nice place. Drinks are a little pricy for somewhere there isn’t central London, however there’s a large selection and usually always seating. Would recommend visiting for a quick pint if you’re in the area
I. U.
Shoutout to the security team at this venue. Been to many places where security feel like they can abuse their power and rights. But the lot at bat and ball were great! So friendly, yet authoritative. They were polite and friendly when we came in amd it was easy to have a conversation with them. Respect to the big asian guy who helped by getting a few guys to move from our ping pong table when they were drunk and just acting like they were supposed to be there. He explained to us very politely that they will not come in our area and that he'll keep a close watch on them.
Generally had an amazing night. Drinks were a tad pricey but service was on point.
S. K.
Nice place to hang out with friends after work or during the weekend entertaining yourself with ping pong games and some nice music. :)
R. H.
Ordered a Moretti which came flat. Questioned the use of a bitter glass and was told that's what they use for their lagers. The second pint was also flat and end of barrel so I had a Camden Hells lager instead. And guess what? It came in a Camden glass! So you're not exactly being honest the are you? How can you serve premium lager at a very premium price flat in a bitter glass? Disappointed in the brewery being so big yet making a mess of such an important details. Sort it out please!
M. S.
I can't remember but I'm sure I was with a group of friends this would be when I was with those friends and everyone enjoyed themselves as we have a regular group outing and treat ourselves at the end and relax and enjoy the service as the staff are always helpful
N. D.
Lovely staff, bouncer was super friendly and helpful, decent prices for drinks, outside area gets a little busy. definitely worth popping in :)
T. S.
Great for a fun night with friends. Great games, karaoke room was great fun. Only thing they could improve in is having enough stool for people to sit on!
S. Q.
Good pub. Busy when west ham play
R. (. R.
What an experience. My boyfriend & I were shopping in Westfield on Valentine's day. Having shopped our socks off we decided to stop somewhere down to earth & individual, there was a sign outside the Bat & Ball that drew us in "Pub Grub" it sounded like our type of eating place. We went in, it was great. I got a pizza specialized (added meat to an existing pizza) had a beer & chilled out. I could've played ping pong, we plan to return with friends to do this. What a fab find. Thumbs up to the Bat and Ball!
G. B.
Lovely food nice cocktails and selection is good
Busy great music atmosphere clean great staff
R. M.
Came here to watch the Anthony Joshua and Ruiz fight with the lads and had a great time. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good night out. Will be going back very soon!
M. B.
Good place to sit an do some work away from the noise of the Centre. Food and coffee was a bit average but its not the sort of place you go for fine dining. Friendly and communicative staff
R. W.
Great food and drink. Go here before the hammers games 👌
A. W.
I love this place! Absolutely the best to meet with friends for some drinks. And relax. Food is okey, its not the best but when you have some drinks it won't bother you 🤣🤣😍😍
m. s.
Drinks were really nice and also the staff was really kind and friendly!
W. M.
Nice idea but they give out disposable plastic cups for every drink. At a live venue there is some justification for safety reasons but here the plastic waste is ridiculous. I spoke to a barman and he said they throw away about 6000 plastic cups a night.
Updated review: I changed the stars from 1 to 4 because the owners explained there is a legal reason why they have plastic cups.
R. R.
FANTASTIC food, service, drinks and music choices! Plus a great night of ping pong fun! We had our local M&S staff party at this venue and it was the best one we have had for years! Chevas, the Events Manager was outstanding. We met a couple of times before the night to discuss food and drink options. Chevas even decorated the venue for us! We booked out the entire top floor for the night for a reasonable price. Hugely recommend this place for a casual night out or an event! Thankyou Bat and Ball !!!
L. T.
So my friend organised something here a little while back. When we arrived nothing was ready, no table, food or drink. However a member of staff Alex made all the difference. If it were not for him we wouldn't have got anything. He cleared our reserved table, sorted our drinks, cleared the table tennis area and brought our food to us. I would have thought he was a manager with how he dealt with everything if it were not for the bars t-shirt. After all the issues we did have a good night, it does get a little overcrowded at times though.
D.
Barman expertly made 2 amaretto sours... Some of the best I've had. Recommended now the casino skybar opposite requires membership go get in!
D. C.
Was really surprised by this bar, great selection of craft beers and premium drinks.
Great comfort food thats reasonably priced.
Lots to play on the upstairs game area or enough space to chill downstairs
K. K.
Great place to hang out, decent food, decent prices. Downstairs is set up for drinks and food, upstairs is a play-room with lots of ping-pong tables, flippers etc. Sport screens everywhere too. Thumbs up!

RUINED a birthday celebration! From the way they treated us, you wouldn't have thought our group had spent THOUSANDS there that night. Unlike the terminator, I will not be back.
EDIT: Recent change of management who is lovely

Good bar, friendly atmosphere. Visit it quite regularly since it’s the main bar for after-work drinks.. and the fact that we also get a company discount!!

Told not pool tables fully booked despite getting there at 8pm. Pool table in front of us is then empty the whole night till midnight...
Staff are nice but seem hampered by odd processes. Rest was as expected very meh.

Great place for Friday /Saturday night out if you're not a club person

A really fun experience. Food was good and drinks didn't seem too badly priced for the area. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that the air con wasn't working and it gets hot in there

Great place, although door staff can be funny at times. There is a chap called Alex from the ping pong staff who is always super friendly and welcoming and always has a smile. I suffer from anxiety and find it hard socialising in places like these but Alex always makes me feel at ease. He is an asset to the Bat and Ball team.
I wish I could say the same about the door team as one of them in particular is very inappropriate and unprofessional. I wont specify who it is as I believe the team is aware of who I am talking about but I feel that you should vet your door staff and give them training on what is professional.

Very busy and lively crowd. Lots of beer pong, ping pong and pool. There was also very good music played. Definitely a place to go if you have a crowd or for post office drinks.

Really warm welcome when we arrived. We went to watch the Jaguars game & the staff were really friendly. We were served quickly & enjoyed the pizza & fries that we ordered.

Good bar with a decent selection of craft beer, loads of space and situated over two floors so service was quick. On the day they had Kona, and Brew dog Punk on Tap and a wide selection of cans including Beavertown. Pool tables and ping pong is also available.

This toy shop is the best I have seen for a long time.
A large range of toys for all ages and the prices are not expensive for what looks like quality items.
To top it up they had a lot of items on sale which was really worth it.
G. S.
Very expensive for drinks but atmosphere is OK

Fantastic first experience, food was lush, and staff very friendly. Will be returning.

This is a great bar, with a good number of screens for watching sport, and table tennis and beer pong tables available. The music is a little too loud and it's a bit expensive, but good range of beers and good cocktails.

Bar come restaurant situated in Westfield Stratford mall. Nice decor, service and staff uninspiring. Honestly, actually surprised it was so busy as I felt beer prices were extortionate. Maybe food is exceptionally good. No idea.
