Urban Pubs and Bar’s duo Nick Pring and Malcolm Heap launched The Bat and Ball on Tuesday – a 12,000 sq ft year-long venue at Westfield Stratford City.

Featuring a whole floor of ping pong tables, VIP ping pong rooms for private hire and a lounge bar and deli, the venue was unveiled on Tuesday, December 14.

Split across two floors, the ground floor is for eating and drinking with a large central bar and the deli counter, while the upper floor is dedicated to table tennis.

Nick Pring, owner of Urban Pubs and Bars said: “The interior is stunning, boasting a relaxed and informal vibe, working in tandem with our signature premium quality drinks and food selection.

“Ping Pong – you can’t go wrong – this will be a smash.”
