🍻 The Bull – Wanstead’s Local 🍻

Just 100 yards from Wanstead Tube, The Bull is your friendly neighbourhood pub where great food, craft beers, cocktails, and good times come together. Whether you’re here for a laid-back pint, a proper Sunday roast, a late-night cocktail, or a private event in our function room, we’ve got you covered.

Our beer garden is a true hidden gem — a sunny spot by day and a lively hangout by night (open until 11pm daily). With fresh, locally sourced food served 7 days a week, and our legendary Sunday Quiz from 7:30pm, there’s always something going on.

We’re all about community spirit, so if we don’t know you yet, come and say hello — we’d love to welcome you in.
