    Great night out. Massive space to watch the football. Bar queues short. DJs after were decent. Flukes was fun and was able to book a pool table for a couple hours which was reasonable. Other games seemed a bit pricier as we had a big group and price was pp.

    Fun, exciting place for the whole family, which is odd to say about a place that serves all manner of delicious beers. But on the Sunday i was there, it was packed with kids and dogs and families (and others!) having a grand time. The pizza we had was delicious and the service was fast.

    We got seated straight away, but after ordering, we had to wait 25 minutes, for one beer, a carton juice and a coke. We never got asked if we want to participate in the world record (that's the whole reason we were there for) and by the time we went, they were on round two and couldn't join. Quite disappointing experience. So we had our drinks and left.

    I've been hiring Big Penny Social for the Walthamstow Flea Market for the past five years, and it's always been a fantastic experience. The staff and management are incredibly helpful and accommodating, ensuring every event runs smoothly. The atmosphere is friendly, informal, and welcoming, creating a positive space for both traders and customers. It's a truly community-minded and creative venue, which makes it an absolute pleasure to host our events there. It truly feels like what was once called a 'Community Centre,' a hub for connection and creativity.

    Nice and big venue. A lot of different areas inside. Serves food and has few bars. Just a shame they don't have any parking close to the venue. We had a work party there and it was lovely.
