Big Penny Social

With a total capacity of 1400, this massive taproom and community events space off Blackhorse Lane is the largest beer hall in London. It hosts a huge variety of events, from weekly sports screenings and pub quizzes to beer festivals and wine tastings, live comedy, vintage fairs and craft workshops. Food-wise, it offers a large menu of pub classics including sourdough pizzas, burgers and a kid’s menu, with roasts on Sundays, while drinks come in the form of seven house brews, a variety of guest beers and classic cocktails. There’s always plenty of seasonal fun on offer here, including a summertime beach pop-up and curling lanes in the winter, and it’s got a regular programme of sprog-friendly events, including soft play, bouncy castle sessions and singalong concerts. Basically, if you’re bored in Walthamstow, go here!
