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

Reply from The Bat And Ball

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. Kids had a great time and I got to relax. Big thumbs up!! visited The Bat And Ball on 01 Jun 2017

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

Our waitress was amazing! The food is good, the drink choice is great, the cocktails are well made. We booked for a client event so had a drinks area and ping pong tables for 35 people and could not fault the service. visited The Bat And Ball on 30 Mar 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

An amazing night we hired a GamesMaster and had lots of Fun x Food was very taste, we ordered pizza and beer (10 for £35) great deal. The music was just up our allly and we had a bit of a boggie.

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

Booked a table here for my birthday and I have to say the night went better than expected to say the least! All my friends said it was a great evening; cool venue, reasonable prices, fantastic atmosphere/vibes and great music. And of course- the ping pong for entertainment! Last but not least, the event went smoothly thanks to the friendly and accommodating staff, particularly James and Lauren who were my lovely hosts!

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

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

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

I made the bookings online and got a reply saying someone will contact me regarding my bookings, but no one did. When we got their they had no data of my bookings and had to wait two hours for a ping pong table. Nevertheless amazing customer service and have some star bar attendees visited The Bat And Ball on 26 Nov 2016

We went for our Christmas football team party. Kids loved it and the parents loved the fact they could have a drink whilst their kids were having fun. Great few hours visited The Bat And Ball on 26 Nov 2016

Had a great time for a colleagues leaving drinks. Staff were so helpful in reserving a drinks area and a ping pong table. Things got very competitive! We had so much fun and loved the atmosphere and music. Staff were friendly and laughed at our antics. Highly recommend for a group night out. visited The Bat And Ball on 25 Nov 2016

We had two tables for 16 People with a Games Master. We thought the second table was wasted, We had to ask him to set us up on the second table with Beer Pong. We were expecting a more inclusive set of games some of us only got to play one game. Overall a good night out. visited The Bat And Ball on 14 Nov 2016

We arrived and was sent upstairs as I had booked. When we arrived upstairs we were sent back downstairs as I had booked for food. We were given option of sitting upstairs at the tables with stools which we didn't want. Our table wasn't reserved downstairs, but we were allowed to choose one of three benches that were free. I'm afraid two of my party were not well after their meal, one had chips and chilli beef and the other had nacho's with the chilli beef, so we assumed the something must have been wrong with the chilli beef which is why we have given a low score :( All of us (9 people) did not like the benches as they did not move, it meant moving people to get out or some couldn't even get out until they slid to the edge, if they could fit the legs between the gaps! A few of us had skirts on not very lady like, but then maybe we should have come dressed more sporty. One Waitress dropped white sauce down a friends back by accident, she did clear it up and was very apologetic. I personally had the pizza and really enjoyed it, as did two others who chose pizza. The ping pong looks great but we did not want to play on that occasion. Our waitress was lovely and had a great memory who we did tip despite our experience. Sadly with so many restaurants in Westfield, I doubt we'll be back in a hurry :( but I do hope you take this as feedback to improve and not in a totally negative way. visited The Bat And Ball on 08 Nov 2016

Normally I really like this place, but this Saturday was the first time we decided to book a table to watch the match as I specifically request. They gave as a really nice table in front of the screen but it happened that after we ordered the food and drinks they showed the match with not sound which it was so disappointing (Added to that we had to pay in advance that never happened and drink in plastic glasses). Then we had to move with all our food and stuffs to a room in a really small table and it was really cold.... visited The Bat And Ball on 05 Nov 2016

It was only let down by the very poor lighting which got dimmer at 6pm. We were told the staff couldn't do anything about it, but how are supposed to play in very poor light?? visited The Bat And Ball on 01 Nov 2016

We had a fantastic time! Staff were great, especially our gamesmaster Matt! Music, food and drinks were superb only problem was the temperature as I believe their air conditioning was broken. I'd definitely come back again visited The Bat And Ball on 29 Oct 2016

The night started off like this, we had 2 tables booked at 8 pm. The tables were handed over to us but there were so many people around the table it made it impossible to play properly and not to mention that the light was bad, no where near enough to play table tennis without struggling to see the ball. After we played for on e hour we booked a different table for another hour. We went there to get our table and there were 8 fellas, very drunk, playing beer pong . . . beer all over the table and because they double booked that table we couldn't get it in time. The staff was not very helpful in this situation. After finally getting the table when we were about to start playing they switched off even the poor lights, so at this point we just had some ambient lights which made it impossible to play. Thinking this is a mistake or something we went to the staff and asked them for the lights to be switched back on. At this point the woman that was doing the booking started to laugh at us and told us that they can't and that it's Saturday night. After this I asked why would they take our money for a ping pong table and not give us the opportunity to play, after half an our they agreed to give us a refund for the last table and we went in Shoreditch. Conclusion ? Awful and expensive place to play ping pong but might be ok if you looking for drinks and snacks. visited The Bat And Ball on 22 Oct 2016

The upstairs area where our tables were was very hot. We spoke to the staff who said the heating was broken. It was extremely uncomfortable and we unfortunately had to stop playing after an hour instead of two. My first drink was also flat, and when I asked for a new drink the bartender argued with me about it, however another member of staff then replaced my drink. We also waited a very long time for our pizzas as we were forgotten about. visited The Bat And Ball on 21 Oct 2016

Mixed reviews to be honest.. I had a good time despite flaws in the service offered. I'm incredibly impressed with the young Asian lady at the door and she is a credit to your venue. It took a while before we actually got served at my table..fyi we waited so long that we actually went to the bar and order our drinks. The young lady servicing us was polite and professional at all times but was slow ;( we could have drunk a bit more but the follow up on our table was slow I'm afraid. Once we ordered our food which was basically 2 platters which only one came out. We queried this with the server which wasn't our waitress and she said she would check. After a while she didn't come back to us and I had to find the Asian lady to follow this up. Overall we kept on chasing to be served which slightly annoyed me but the food was great and overall not a bad night. visited The Bat And Ball on 14 Oct 2016

I visited on A Saturday afternoon with a group booking. The place itself is good, the seating areas around the table are a little awkward with no place to put drinks. However good ambience and fun games. Now the bad bit, we were told booking could be extended once at the venue, when we arrived we were told someone had booked our table for half hour after we finished, which was no problem and the person serving said as long as you don't over run into the time of the next person - I said we would be off within 15 minutes of our time so they can do the necessary, all happy so far. Then we are having fun playing beer pong and an incredibly rude lady came to our table and said without introduction "you have 5 minutes to get off" I looked at my watch and it was exactly 5 minutes to our time run out, but I told her what the other lady that worked there said - no worries if we slightly over run - just be aware someone has it book for half hour over our time so ok to overrun but don't take the p. The new lady then returned and said "ok your time is up now, finish your game and get off" I asked her if she spoke to the other lady and she said "we are trying to run a business here" I then informed her that our group were all paying customers and contributing greatly to her business that night, she raised her eyebrows and trotted off. I immediately moved from the table at the request and proceeded to finish our drinks at the bar, where were observed our table sitting empty and untouched for 20 minutes, by staff. The next group arrived a full 15 minutes after that. Would have gone back to this place almost monthly with a large group, but now because of this staff member attitude and condescending behaviour we will not go back. Majority of other staff members were friendly and helpful but this one is letting the side down. ry_no16 visited The Bat And Ball on 08 Oct 2016
