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

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

    Today I had a dinner in this pub with my best friend who highly recommended this place. And she was absolutely right! Busy, cozy and warm pub. Great atmosphere and friendly staff. I ordered lasagne and chocolate tart with an ice cream, it was absolutely delicious. Open garden with few screens and more screens inside. Love the design and the vibe. I definitely will come back there as I live local.

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

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