Renegade Urban Winery Walthamstow - Review - Walthamstow - London - The Infatuation

"Renegade Urban Winery is at its best on a Sunday. Plates that can barely contain hunks of roast beef make their way, at a leisurely pace, to groups—think grandparents wrangling toddlers who’ve decided to play hide-and-seek behind the potted plants—and couples who’ve chosen to drift into Monday without dirty dishes and gravy-making looming over them. photo credit: Sinéad Cranna This bar-meets-winery is on a Walthamstow industrial estate populated by taprooms and bakery hatches. The dining room is up on the mezzanine, above the production space, but you can still peek at the barrels and hulking steel wine drums. The weekday menu, which changes often, is hit and miss. It's made up of middling-to-good small plates that flit from char siu skewers to baba ganoush and focaccia. Stick to Sundays, when the twinkle from a string of fairy lights, Big Group Energy, and skin contact Riesling do wonders for warding off Monday scaries. Food Rundown Roast Beef Rump This is a solid roast. Expect a generous serving of thickly cut beef, pillowy yorkshire puddings, and a big umami hit from the glug of gravy. The meat could be a little more tender, though. photo credit: Sinéad Cranna Pork Belly The fat and crackling on this pork belly are delicious, but you shouldn’t be picking through them to find some meat. It’s a very stingy portion. photo credit: Sinéad Cranna Seasonal Veg Vegetables come with every roast and are a perfectly OK mix of roasted carrots, red cabbage, and a medley of greens. It’s fine, but we wish a bit more care had been taken to make the sides something special.

The cheese sauce is creamy and thick enough to stick to every floret, and the top has a nice crispy crust to it. photo credit: Sinéad Cranna" - Sinéad Cranna

We came for a bite and were pleasantly surprised by the place. The set up is really cool and with a nice mezzanine at the top where you can order wine and food. I saw some people were doing a wine tasting too. We ordered the artichoke, foccacia, olives, aubergine. All was really good but the foccacia was a bit dry. Though I thought the food was a bit pricey. It's a place i would see myself coming back with friends to chill. There is also a terrace outside which is very nice for summer.

As wine lovers it was probably just a matter of time before we came here. The location is really great with the barrels downstairs and the industrial vibes. Nothing not to love. We enjoyed two delicious Sunday roasts with beef. The potatoes were so nice but under salted. It’s not the same salting potatoes once they are done, the salt needs to be integrated in the cooking process. It’s like a whole different flavour. But enough about the potatoes, the food was still a 5. 🙂The service a little chaotic but friendly. A few words about the wine ‘experience’ itself: in a place like this you would expect the staff to explain the wines at least a little and reasonable prices for the tasting flights. Isn’t the idea to have a taste and maybe buy a bottle or two? We found the flights were a bit overpriced with £24 for 4 small glasses. Overall a fun place!

Came for a Friday evening meal, to try out this new promising place which is a fantastic addition to our neighborhood. The venue is impressive once upstairs. A "craft beer style" warehouse with ambient light, and nice crowd of people. The food was fantastic, the artichokes were chargrilled to absolute perfection. Served on bed of mixed grain, "barley style risotto" this was a very well crafted combination. Puddings were quite experimental, high quality chocolate mousse and olive oil and coffee and smoked chestnut, we both really enjoyed them, what more would you want on a Friday evening. Well yes one thing missing, was the front of the house manager's polite and welcoming attitude. We assume she was the manger as she was dressed differently to the rest of the staff and had a very domineering attitude. Between forcing us to the bar area at first, for no reason despite our request, and later telling me something to the tune of "I'm well know for my mind reading skills but you still need to tell me what your order is" when debating my menu choice, my experience of the evening was quite ruined despite the food and other staff being wonderful. Nobody needs this attitude on a Friday evening. It could have been just me, you never know. So don't be put off by it ☺️ the food truly is amazing!

This is a real gem of a place. Friendly, attentive staff and comfortable surroundings. Innovative food menu, expertly executed. The wines on offer aren't cheap but are very much worth the money. Some genuinely different and tasty wines on offer. Best venue on the beer mile imho. 9/10 would recommend.

A local to renegade so come very often, it’s always amazing. The roasts are fantastic, especially the pork belly! The wine’s great, and the staff are super friendly and kind. Easily one of my favourite local spots! Special mention to Oscar who was lovely.

We had a fantastic dinner here. Nice atmosphere and decor, particularly lovely to be surrounded by the gentle, intriguing smell of wine. Do you like how it smells in pubs? Well I don’t so this place was really pleasant to my nose. We tried all four mains between us four, including bavette steak and coal roasted bream. Food was exceptional, with each ingredient adding so much flavour. Each time you bite in, you get something new and surprising. Bravo to the chef. Highly recommended. Thank you Renegade

Samira was probably the best waitress that I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. They were personable, attentive and kind. We had a grand evening that was enhanced by the way she made us feel and showed us an amazing aspect of London. Brilliant
