The Leyton Star

Epic Karaoke Nights in Heated Garden!

Tucked away in Leyton, The Leyton Star is a vibrant brew of local charm and spirited fun, sure to leave a lasting impression. With its expansive heated beer garden that's shielded from the temperamental English weather, this spot offers a perfect haven for both sports enthusiasts and social butterflies alike. It's a sports bar at heart—one that praises the Hammers—but it still manages to evoke a cozy neighbourhood pub vibe. Get ready to indulge in the much-loved hits: the burgers—especially the Oklahoma Smash and bacon double cheeseburger—are beyond commendable, accompanied by sought-after Cajun-style fries that might make you momentarily forget the existence of Five Guys. And if Burgers aren't your style, the hot honey chicken tenders will sway your fancy, reportedly so good you'd end up ordering seconds faster than you can say ‘match day’.

The pub shines brightest with the camaraderie of its staff, notably figures like Marcie, Laurie, and Jam who are known for their warm, attentive and crackerjack service; a testament to their indisputable local fame. Karaoke night is distinctly epic at The Leyton Star; it seems anyone wandering into the soirée hours will find they're belting out pop classics before they realise what's happened—all against the backdrop of upbeat vibes and well-crafted cocktails. Whether it's enjoying an electrifying Champions League Final evening or throwing a joyous birthday bash in their function rooms, The Leyton Star brings the double-barrelled fun of sports and celebration under one roof with genuine East London warmth. Surely, it may not be the pinnacle of haute cuisine, but it offers hearty dishes with remarkable consistency, enough to have anyone returning with a grin—not least because the infectious cheer rolls on like that favourite anthem you're itching to replay. — Milo Tastemaker
