Indian-Irish pub serving signature spice bags & great Guinness
"If your dream birthday menu involves pints of Guinness, a bougie spice bag, and a slab of chocolate cake—same, and also, look no further than The Raglan. This Indian-Irish pub in Walthamstow is laid-back enough to get messy with the curry sauce, but the food feels special. Particularly that spice bag and a vada pau with vindaloo pork more tender than your head post-birthday celebrations." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
"The Raglan in Walthamstow is Shankeys’ little sibling, and being an excellent host runs in the family. Meals are leisurely affairs where you’ll (willingly) be plied with pints and tater tot spice bags, until rolling out hours later than planned. The Indian-Irish food suits the groups drinking here: spicy, generous portions of crowd-pleasers like mac and cheese, and a vada pau with vindaloo pork more tender than our head the following day." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna
"The humble takeaway spice bag walked so this fancy version from The Raglan could run. This Indian-Irish pub in Walthamstow serves juicy deep-fried chicken—or roasted thighs, depending on what they have in—and crispy tater tots, on the kind of patterned plate our mum saves for special guests. The raw onions are a nice touch, so is a Markievicz mule in the snug, candlelit nook by the bar." - sinead cranna
"The Raglan is Walthamstow’s best pub. Print it on t-shirts. Make badges. And pray for the area's house prices. It’s the laid-back, little sibling of Shankeys and being an excellent host runs in the family. Meals are leisurely affairs, where you’ll (willingly) be plied with pints and sharing platters of spice bags—salt and chilli tater tots, peppers, onions, and a liberal pour of curry sauce—until rolling out hours later than planned. Between cheerful chats with staff, rounds of Dublin sours, and slowly sinking further into a snug, candlelit nook, you’ll realise that you’re not making it home in time for Newsnight. The Indian-Irish food suits the groups drinking here: spicy, generous portions of mac and cheese, and a vada pau with vindaloo pork more tender than our head the following day." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, daisy meager, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, daisy meager, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, rianne shlebak, jake missing, sinead cranna, sinead cranna, jake
"The Raglan is Walthamstow’s best pub for food. You can pitch up at the bar for a quiet pint and a packet of Taytos, but this spot shines brightest when you’re ordering a spread of Indian-Irish dishes: spicy, generous portions of mac and cheese and a vada pau with vindaloo pork more tender than our head the following day. Meals are leisurely, fun affairs, where you’ll (willingly) be plied with pints and spice bags until rolling out hours later than planned." - sinead cranna, jake missing
