Bar staff are thieves - add extras to your card if you leave it behind the bar.

Wonderful start by the new licensees - a sensitive and stylish refurbishment has turned The Bell into a comfortable and welcoming pub.
A good selection of beers on offer, too.
The new licensees promise more in the future, including a food menu when the kitchen's been upgraded.
It was standing room only on opening night, with a friendly crowd who all looked delighted to have this venue opening locally. National PubCos should take note: this is what happens if you invest cash and thought into pubs in E17 (and I'm sure in other neglected parts of Zones 2-3).

Re-opening was due for this week but the new owner has said on his Twitter feed and Facebook page that things have slipped. No new opening date yet, but fingers crossed.
He seems to be doing all the right things and ran an excellent managed house in Stoke Newington before going it alone with this place.
