Beer pong was fun but the music was so loud that you couldn’t talk to the people you were playing with... even shouting wasn’t loud enough!! visited The Bat And Ball on 30 Sep 2017

My booking was made over a month in advance and i was advised that i would need to provide my card to guarantee and hold the table but no funds would be deducted. I had a party of 14 booked. To my horror when i arrived we were at a couching area with low tables and they had deduced £25 from my card! even though it was rectified i was not happy initially as wanted a table for us to be able to talk and interract with each other. The staff were good in fixing the problem but this need not have been the case. visited The Bat And Ball on 14 Oct 2017

Great place but the bats are terrible!! Loosing balls constantly. Need to segregate the tables possible.. no table service for drinks so get your drinks before. Espically if you’ve only booked half n hour you’ll spend 10 mins at the bar!! visited The Bat And Ball on 12 Oct 2017

There was no one at the entrance of the bar to direct you where to go if you had a booking. I went upstairs to only find out that our table was downstairs ( I had a group of 15+ people). The room was not ready for us to start our beer pong table - nothing was set up. The staff weren't attentive and the toilets were terrible. visited The Bat And Ball on 26 Sep 2017

The worst customer service I've received today. Definitely, avoid the place if the management does not reach its staffs how to behave with its customers. I loved this place and coming every week, but today Kate said I didn't pay when I already paid. I stopped playing until her colleague came. He said he didn't put my name correctly. He apologized for his mistakes. Instead of saying sorry, Kate asked me to leave saying that my time is over. There was another girl at the reception. Both of them were laughing while giving the worst ever behaviour. THE WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE.

The service at the bar was quite slow and the music was far too loud - most of our party left because they couldn't hear themselves think. visited The Bat And Ball on 21 Sep 2017

Customers drinking round ping pong tables that are not actually playing doesn’t work, to many people crowding round and causing issues whilst we have paid to play ping pong. Staff are unorganised and rude. We had a tab which was paid for then got ramapaged by the whole team saying we hadn’t paid our bill, then when they realised we did it was apologies from everyone. It should have never happened at all. Then we had incidents with drunk customers interrupting whilst we were playing and trying to steal our drinks. Don’t get me wrong it’s a fun place it’s just not managed properly. They need to remove the table closet to the bar as this Just causes issues if you paid to play and been put on that table. visited The Bat And Ball on 22 Sep 2017

I was charged £18 at bar for two Vodka red bulls and I know for sure that was overpricing by intent of the bar man. Thats too bad. How can you overcharge or rip your customers off like this. A fiend of mine told me, it happened to him too some days ago. It looks like it is systematic overcharging and abusing the position of trust. visited The Bat And Ball on 22 Sep 2017

Great music and nice venue but it's so confusing sorting payment between ping pong tables and the bar. Also one of the female staff was crying when we got in after a barman had been mean to her and he was being a pillock about it boasting to his mates. Not cool. visited The Bat And Ball on 21 Sep 2017

Place looks great and entered there a couple of time planning to get a drink and maybe play Ping Pong but couldn't get past the really loud music. Impossible to have a conversation if the music is that loud - please can you turn it down and I can guarantee you'll encourage more people to come in and have drinks and conversation.

Absolutely brilliant work event - lovely team, great food options which turned up on time and was delicious. Excellent bar team who co-ordinated a very large bar tab with ease and no hassle at all. Highly recommend beer pong for big groups and was very impressed with the Games Master that was provided complimentary with our booking. Super fun night had by all - Thank you! visited The Bat And Ball on 28 Jul 2017

The worst birthday party i have ever arranged! We made a reservation for beer pong for 1 hour and we also sent a birthday cake prior to the event so as to come out during the event as a surprise! Our 1 hour has finished and they told us we have to leave the table without even bringing the cake! So i had to go there and tell them! But that was not enough as the girl told me i had to go down and bring it myself! I asked her if they would be able to play birthday music as well! She told me she will ask the dj and came back to me saying it will be played in 5 minutes so as to bring the cake upstairs once played! I was waiting for almost 10 minutes and finally she told me he is not going to play it! Honestly it was the worst experience for birthday party! The place it's ok for a night out playing ping pong or beer pong but definitely not for birthday party! Michalis visited The Bat And Ball on 29 Jul 2017

Great atmosphere, fun venue and good music. Only suggestion would be to not have food reservations set upstairs. Our tables for dinner were booked as being Table 62 which was apparently upstairs. However with all the games being played and the loud music it was just too much to be an area where a group can sit, eat and socialise. We ended up staying d/stairs which was a better fit for eating and chatting. Afterwards we went upstairs for our table tennis slot which was great and really a cool way to end the evening and what we expected. It's true that the venue is more about magnifying table tennis but a couple more pool tables would be a great thing there too, as there are not many great PAYG pool bars in Stratford. Obviously it's about the "bat and the ball" but maybe 2 other pool tables would be a good little mix of gaming diversity and way to keep customers in. Overall a great experience- being my 3rd or 4th time at your bar and will be back again...at some point! visited The Bat And Ball on 25 Jul 2017

Thank you for your review! We do apologize about your initial seating area for food, our games hall does get manic. We're glad you found seating downstairs to enjoy your favorite taster from the menu. We are currently working on adding a few things to our games hall so keep an eye out on what we have in store :-) Have a great weekend and we hope to see you soon.

Had an amazing evening as it was my leaving work do. The manager was very accommodating to our large group and prior to arriving the lady who helped me booked the venue was very helpful in picking a good area. The music is really good and I like the spacious area provided. A couple negative points would be a somewhat rude bartender as he decided to serve someone before me and (Even though I was waiting for a drink)and the chicken wings were quite dry. All and all it was a pretty good night! visited The Bat And Ball on 13 Jul 2017

Booked a birthday Party for 10 x 11 year olds during the day - there was a hiccup with the booking and the 'Games Master' we had booked wasnt available - I was a bit concerned as I had sole charge of the kids and was looking forwards to handing over the entertainment side The food wasnt confirmed either however our host Chevas was Excellent and put in such a great effort to do all he could to help - such a polite and happy and obliging guy - Please pass on my great appreciation to him - he is a diamond.

I informed them of my booking and they went and produced their list but I wasn't on it, even though I had a confirmation email, so our party left without eating! Not a positive experience which was a shame as we were looking forward to dining with you visited The Bat And Ball on 04 May 2017

Had a fantastic time. Food was brought out exactly when I asked and the staff were extremely helpful. I would like to put in an extra big THANK YOU to Rebecca the blonde curly haired bartender who went above and beyond to make the day great.

Excellent venue, I visited on bank holiday Sunday I felt the staff were under a lot of pressure (under staffed?) I was disappointed that they were observing Sunday hours, as there were a lot of people still wanting to play when closing time came. I would definitely recommend this place for group bookings. Another pool table would be a bonus. Liong visited The Bat And Ball on 30 Apr 2017

Booking was professional and easy. Ping pong was fun and we'll organised. It didn't take long to get served at bar. We booked a table for food and drinks to watch the boxing. At first we were given a very small table which did not accommodate our group. However, once we complained we werecommend moved. The food was served quickly and was tasty. visited The Bat And Ball on 29 Apr 2017

Thoroughly disappointed. Booked the bat and ball for my birthday celebration for 7pm for two hours, arrived on time at the ping pong reception, to be told the booking was only for one hour instead of two, and that i had to pay extra for beer pong which had not been explained to me when i booked over the phone. The receptionist then realised she had got me confused for another booking and i actually did have the booking for two hours. After using the table for a while, went to order a pizza which was not put through and resulted in me waiting over an hour for another one to be cooked. When we started the beer pong hour, the same receptionst comes up to the tabl and stated that the table was now finishing at 20:15, i then reminded her that I had booked it until 9 and surely she could clearly see we had just started to play beer pong. She replied "oh yeah thats right" and walked off. Unfortunately didnt get her name, had dark hair and glasses on. This made the experience pretty rubbish as the staff barely know whats going on and can just about do their jobs. visited The Bat And Ball on 14 Apr 2017

An OK experience. Easy to make a reservation. I explained to the hostess over the phone that we would have a person with a wheelchair and we were given a table within the parlour which was helpful. Door staff were great. Only downsides I can mention was the atmosphere in the private parlour room. It was a quiet night and while upstairs was busy, the parlour was fully lit, no mood lighting and music like upstairs. Felt more like a gym than a bar. We also booked and paid for 2 hours on arrival but chose to leave after 1 hour as everyone was tired. The lady on the desk mentioned that we had an hour left and I explained but no offer to refund the hour was given. I didn't assume of course but keeping all the money was a bit cheeky. An offer of the hour we didn't use back or even transferrable to another night would have been good and definitely would have bought us back considering most of their money appears to be made from food and drink rather than the tables themselves. Nice night but probably wouldn't go again due to lack of atmosphere and the hour kept. visited The Bat And Ball on 26 Mar 2017

Excellent service - friendly staff. Appreciated the 10 minute warning before we were due to wind up and the free birthday prosecco was a lovely unexpected touch. Would highly recommend this venue and activity for when you want to introduce new people to each other as the ping pong is very informal, everyone will have a go and it suits all ages. My toddler was standing on one side of the table playing against his grandma on the other! tuney visited The Bat And Ball on 19 Mar 2017

I was left disappointed with my visit on Friday 17th March. Firstly the table was booked for 12 however only 11 attended in the end but the table that we were given to eat at was far too small for the number of us. One of our guests had to give up his seat once he had eaten to allow for someone else to sit down. there wasn't even enough room on the table for the food. Secondly I felt very let down by the DJ on the night, your posters stated "DJ's until 1am" - your one DJ left at just after midnight. Before she left we requested some songs which did not get played and also asked if the music could be turned up as it was very quiet in the bar area, the DJ notified me that the bar staff control the sound, when I spoke to a bar man he said that it could not be turned up due to the bar being next to the Holiday Inn where you will receive complaints if the music is loud. I visited your bar on 3rd February and had an amazing night where your DJ played til 1am with a great mix of music at a decent level of sound - there did not seem to be a problem then so why this time? I specifically arranged to come back to your bar for this reason and feel disappointed that the atmosphere was not the same. Unfortunately I do feel that we will return in the future. visited The Bat And Ball on 17 Mar 2017

Staff need extra training as customer service was not up to standard, combination of unable to give information when asked, another was rude when a request was made, and another just not observing common sense and way too intense. The pizza was not good, there are so many good pizza places these days, and it was totally overpriced for what it was. The table tennis was fun but again £15 for 30 mins is overpriced and we kept having staff get in the way going by our table to get to their back room. I wouldn't come back and I wouldn't recommend. visited The Bat And Ball on 09 Mar 2017

I've been to Bat and Ball a couple of times now and both times it's been a lot of fun. There's a wall of other items you can use instead of bats, such as a colander or pan which keeps the game interesting! If you ask for a jug of beer for beer pong they will provide plenty of plastic cups and cups of carbonated water to wash the balls in. Only criticism I would have is that there isn't always a staff member at the upstairs bar where the ping pong tables are, but if you ask around someone generally turns up! Would definitely recommend this as a fun alternative to a normal bar or somewhere to drink in the day without being judged!.... Sophie visited The Bat And Ball on 18 Feb 2017

Great space particularly as it was not busy upstairs when we attended. The service upstairs was dismal-we were essentially left to get on with it ourselves which included getting drinks, taking back dirty glasses and reminding the staff that we still hadn't received all the food we had ordered for lunch which resulted in cold pizza as I presume it had been sitting downstairs waiting for collection The staff spent the whole time we were there-about 2 hours on their computers and ignored us most of the time visited The Bat And Ball on 15 Feb 2017

Booked a team building night here for 18. Excellent booking service from the team made it easy to plan, food and cocktails on the evening were tasty and kept everyone happy from vegan to halal. The atmosphere was great even on a Sunday evening. Music, sports tv, and an interesting mix of people ensuring a lively night out. The layout of tables upstairs meant you could easily chat to other players or watch games from the bar seating. The ping pong was great fun, our Games master Ivan was brilliant. He created a fun atmosphere but somehow managed to keep 18 of us in line and very patient when explaining the rules (sometimes repeatedly! ) I would highly recommend to anyone to visit the Bat and Ball.

Great night out, recommend booking a Games Master for an hour and then an hour by yourselves. Games Master didn't arrive at the beginning of our session, as planned, which was a bit confusing but once she arrived it was fun all the same! We booked 2 hours for 12 people on one table and it was perfect, apart from the chairs that kept being dragged out the cupboard behind us, which kept interrupting us and ate into our timeslot because someone else was booked in directly after us. Music and atmosphere was fab, we all want to go again!! You may be asked for ID upon entering too, so go prepared. visited The Bat And Ball on 11 Feb 2017

My review for our visit on 11/02/2017 Tonight has probably been one of the worst experiences I have ever had in any establishment. The evening started when we queued up to enter the Bat and Ball and was asked for ID. Myself and our party are mostly in our 30's & 40's so we clearly did not need to be asked for ID. The manner of the individuals at the door was terrible and this was commented on by many members of our party one of which is a met police officer. The ID was clearly to find out age and not in the way that nightclubs/bars are needing them to keep on record so this proves that none of us really needed to be bothered by this. Also I was shocked that we were being asked as after all the emails we have been sending not once was it mentioned in any email that we may need to provide this. Upon entry we were told to go upstairs and to speak to someone up stairs. So we all went upstairs and then we were sent back downstairs to sit at an area reserved for 25 of us although there was only enough seats to comfortably seat 18. The next complaint is one which has completely and utterly annoyed me to the point that it has brought me to send this email. I have to point out that 25 of us came along tonight to celebrate my husbands 37th birthday. We wanted to enjoy our evening and have a light hearted, fun evening with our family and friends. My brother arrived shortly after 9pm, he like the rest of us was asked by the two complete idiot male & female door staff to show ID so he showed his ID. He was then told to remove his cap and walk into the bar area and then walk back to the door so he did this but then he was asked to do it again but to roam around the bar area a bit. Then for no apparant reason a male door person grabbed my brother by his wrist area and walked back to the door and asked to stand on the mat. In the mean time both male and female door staff were very, very rude. My brother found this whole experience humiliating so he left and got back in his car and drove home. He did this to prevent causing any problems with the staff and to prevent runing the evening for the rest of us. How dare anyone be made to feel like this? What kind of people do you have employed there? The worst thing is I also had birthday cards to give to my brother from his nieces and nephews as he has been away and we missed his birthday. My brother phoned me to tell me what happened so I spoke to the manager who was extemely apologetic and agreed that the way the evening was going was awful so she asked me what I would like to happen. At this point I would have quite happily left but with 24 people that had all come out for my husband where could we go? So we all stayed even though everyone was aware that something was wrong. The manager offered to give us free food and I accepted. She also brought over an extra table and some chairs so the rest of our party could sit down. The one thing no one could improve was the rude manner of the waitresses that we had. When we did question them for things they said things like "I am just one person" "its busy here tonight and I am one person on my own", when we wanted to order some drinks for members of our party that were sitting on a box next to our table she replied "i asked what you wanted on your table not what they wanted". We went upstairs because I had originally booked 2 x table tennis for 1 hour. Again I was happy to leave but others wanted to play. When I was asked.to pay £50 for the table I refused due to the way we had been treated. Again the manager agreed this was fair. At the end of the evening the waitress brought my husbands cake to the wrong party. I only noticed this when I heard the table next to us singing happy birthday to our cake! So the waitress clearly embarressed let my husband blow out his candles and then ran off. I am sending this as a complaint about your staff and their obvious lack of training. The staff members you have on the door are ridiculous and not proffesional at all. The manager was genuinely concerned. visited The Bat And Ball on 11 Feb 2017

Poor customer service from the Supervisor on shift. I placed a food order for £137.50 and politely asked the question is there anything you could do on the price as I will be getting rounds for a group of 17 throughout the night as it was my wife's birthday, the supervisor basically had a go at me and made me feel like crap. He explained people spend more money than you and this is a normal price for a round. I was literally only after a simple yes or no as I had already paid £60 for the a ping pong table and then placed a further drinks order for £61.50 and did this on 4 more occasions throughout the night. Bar staff can not keep track on whose next to serve so basically every time I tried to place a drinks order it took me over 25-30 min+. All the food I had ordered went to a different table and my £137.50 food order turned out to be 3 fries which later the person took one back saying that it was another tabled order. When I eventually got my food it was in 5-6 stages and even then I had to chase up food. The only person who looked like they know what they were doing were the bouncers and a young lady called Tia who was superb and efficient in looking after us. Toilets also don't get checked regularly enough as someone decided they would throw up in the troth which was left throughout the night. Ping pong was a good laugh. I did order a games master but was told on the night I would not be getting one. Still had a wicked night only due to the people in our group. visited The Bat And Ball on 04 Feb 2017

I probably wouldn't have a birthday here again on a weekend. Music was too loud (more suitable for a club/dancing environment than conversation). While the booking process was super smooth, friendly and responsive, at the venue itself, and this is because of how very busy it was, I had to do a lot of running back and forth myself to get the tennis table, food, etc sorted. We eventually left and moved the party elsewhere. For table tennis itself, its a great place and loads of fun. And the food is pretty good. visited The Bat And Ball on 03 Feb 2017

I booked a playtable and a gamemaster for sat afternoon. My sons 15th birthday and he plays national table tennis league... so he loved it. The atmosphere is welcoming. The staff were lovely. Very accomodating and helpful. My boy wants a job hete now as a gamesmaster ! He loved it. Food was lovely an pizzas amazing... only thing i would say it the menu is a bit limited and chips are gery expensive. Considering a lovely hand made pizza is around £9. I think £5 for a bucket of chips that werent very nice was a bit steep.... (husband isxa head chef in the city so is critical of food but loved the pizza). but apart from that was a fantastic place.

We booked our birthday party at the Bat and Ball and had a semi-private area behind the bar. Our guests loved the venue which has a really good vibe to it. We'd been to Bounce the 2 years before, and in comparison we loved how much space there was, so you could properly enjoy a game of ping pong and beer pong. The beer pong in particular was fun and different, and a great activity for a larger group of people to do together. The bar wasn't too busy and it was easy to get served quickly, the drink prices are high but inline with what you get charged at most fancy London places. To top it off, we were given a free bottle of Prosecco as a birthday treat. We certainly won't hesitate to go back again in the future. My only negative point would be that we were initially quoted a crazy minimum spend when trying to book the tables. They eventually agreed to not have it for us, I hope they drop this idea as it allows you to enjoy the night much more by not having to worry about it! visited The Bat And Ball on 21 Jan 2017

Place was perfect for my birthday and my friends had a fantastic evening! The two ping pong tables I booked upstairs were in a great area complete with a large table and long sofa. The music was great too, not too loud so you can actually socialise which each other (unlike Bounce). The place let me extend the booking for a couple more hours too which went down very well with everyone. Only criticism was that I had a few friends saying they waited an hour for their food and the deposit/booking system was quite confusing, but fortunately they negotiated. All and all great night and great place. Thank you. visited The Bat And Ball on 20 Jan 2017

...Forgot to mention, staff were awesome, super helpful and very accommodating with things like the play area and food orders. Kudos to a girl whose name I can't remember but was on her first day on the job, took to service seamlessly, very impressive along with her very helpful male manager. Will definitely go again visited The Bat And Ball on 26 Dec 2016

First time I came to Bat and Ball was on a work night out. It was brilliant and great fun, so much that I went there again for a few games for my birthday. Guaranteed laugh if your mates are little bit competitive, edgy and have an easy going sense of humour. visited The Bat And Ball on 26 Dec 2016

We had a children's party. Really good fun and very well looked after both by the games staff and those in the restaurant. Would highly recommend it. visited The Bat And Ball on 15 Jan 2017

Helpful staff but the experience could have been so much better. Looks like the company isn't ready to entertain and take care of larger group (35 Guests) : in terms of entertainment and booking process. Still lots of rooms for improvement. visited The Bat And Ball on 12 Dec 2016

Disappointed that it was a match day and had heard that it had a relaxing atmosphere where you could play table tennis and sit around with friends and family whilst eating and drinking. Only 2 choices to eat that day-chicken or pork wrap! Won't be coming again. visited The Bat And Ball on 17 Dec 2016

Our party which we booked in the Parlour went very well thank you. Everyone said they enjoyed it. The Games master was excellent and kept the momentum of table tennis flowing. Chicken wings and pizza were hot and fresh. A Good night. visited The Bat And Ball on 15 Dec 2016

10/10. Had a great evening for a team Christmas Party. Started off with free drinks on arrival as we'd booked before October, had a Mixology lesson and two cocktails (extra cost) which was a great way to start off the afternoon followed by Games Master taking control of our group for Beer Pong and Ping Pong Tournament, then went downstairs for lunch (had the tables for 2hrs, just right amount of time) where we swapped our secret santas and did our Christmas quiz and then back upstairs for more drinking and dancing to the DJ ! Friday was a great night ! Thanks everyone ! Staff were very accommodating. visited The Bat And Ball on 16 Dec 2016

I helped organise a work Christmas party at The Bat and Ball. Having been before, I knew of the venue with its two levels and the table tennis which again I thoroughly enjoyed. To those who haven't been, it is a spacious and fun area. We had a thoroughly enjoyable night - the only reason this hasn't received a 5 was that I didn't find that, even as a party of 50, we were really paid much attention to (e.g. our desserts for the food we ordered were forgotten until prompted and a number of drinks were cleared away when we were still at the venue). visited The Bat And Ball on 14 Dec 2016

Had my office xmas lunch on a monday but they made it feel like a friday. The food was good but it was the games afterwards that sealed it for us. The games master was good and can say it was our best xmas do ever. Willl recommend it to friends and family visited The Bat And Ball on 12 Dec 2016

Food was AWFUL - the starter (ham hock terrine) was literally inedible. Table tennis was good fun, recommend the games master. visited The Bat And Ball on 09 Dec 2016

We booked a company Christmas party at the Bat and Ball. Overall the night was great and everyone enjoyed themselves. We avoided the xmas menu and had the pizzas, wings and ribs which went down a storm and there was loads of food! A few niggles though, we had pre-ordered drinks and were told as we booked so far in advance that there would be a glass of prosecco on arrival. When I arrived, fifteen mins after our allocated arrival time, there were other people in our booked area and no welcome drinks to be seen which meant that the colleagues who had arrived before me had had to buy their own drinks, which wasn't the idea. We had also book a gamesmaster, who didn't turn up. We were given a five minute warning on our table tennis tables at half 9 and I pointed out that the gamesmaster we had booked hadn't even been over yet, and so they sent somebody over then to start our beer pong tournament. Some of the pizzas also arrived unsliced which makes them tricky to share. Overall I would definitely recommend them for a big gathering but they just need to finesse their service a bit, so the party organiser can relax along with the rest of the party and not spend the night chasing things up! visited The Bat And Ball on 10 Dec 2016
