It immediately reminded me of my dad as he used to take me to get pie and mash often when I was a kid. It's situated in the square just past the Abbey. If you're standing in the square you'd have a job to miss it. I was surprised to see people were actually queuing to get in. This made me think it must be good. Inside was clean and spacious. I couldn't believe how cheap my meal was. With a coffee I paid under £5. The next time I find myself in Waltham Abbey with an hour to kill I'll probably head back to Tony's Pie N Mash.

The weather was sunny and warm where most people were sitting outside. We managed to get table outside. They were a little under staffed so it took a while to get your order of food and drinks. Children friendly place and they even had a bouncy castle. Ordered the fish pie which was very good. Great washed down with a bottle of white wine. Very nice pub, people serving as well as the customers were all very friendly. Would definitely come back!

So I had the beef pie instead. The beef pie was good with the side of mashed potatoes, but like a few girls I know would say, I've had better. Overall, a good place, especially for the location and I, will try it again. hopefully on my second visit, I will be able to get the Sunday roast, and hopefully, it will be worth another star in my review.

First of all, it's actually off a main road on the very edge of Tottenham and not far from the resevoirs and lakes nearby. Okay it boils down to this: the food here is damn good! close your eyes for a sec - now think of all typical British pub food and think of them done very, very well. If you like some of what's in that imagination, then go to the Ferry Boat. The steak is particularly good and their desserts will surprise you a lot! The strawberry cheesecake there beats the undies off most fancy cake shops in the city. The atmosphere is good, no rowdy or shady characters here (apart from me of course~!) should make for a decent meal out with friends; a nice and spacious beer garden is also pretty good if the weather is nice (yep, all 4 good days of the year!) The only downer is the fact that the furniture is a bit off compared to the otherwise exceptionally nice interior (with woodfire and country house feel). The chairs are at times rickety, and some pretty mismatched and gawdy. It says 3 stars on top but I'd give it 3.5. I wouldn't cross the city to dine here, but if you want a safe choice and are nearby then check it out. Ash

I particularly like the homely feel of the pub none more so when we used so much glassware they came and had to wash our glasses to serve our next round of drinks! Would Recommend it especially as it has a lovely fireplace ideal for a chilly evening to keep you cosy and warm!

The pub also serves food and the menu shows good variety, though is aimed more at meat eaters, with few vegetarian options. The desserts are lovely, lots of fruit crumbles, puddings and a cheeseboard. There is a motel attached to the pub and as the location is a stone's throw from the countryside, it would make an ideal place for a short break. So if you're ever in Essex (stranger things have happened) and fancy some home comforts, you really must give The 3 Jolly Wheelers a try!

Although I think she got the clue when I insistenly repeated "Are you sure you don't fancy Mcdonalds?". The Bluebell was worth it. It's a bit like The Ivy, but a more local place. It's small and has the feeling of a little cottage place. They serve traditional British meals; but they're rather perfect in their execution of cooking the meals. Not a lot to say here as the food was all top notch and I have very little to complain about. Damnit, I prefer complaining!.
