Cat & Mutton in Hackney

We had a great Sunday roast. Very friendly staff.

Fish and ship not too good. Atmosphere is really nice.

Great atmosphere on a bank holiday

Great atmosphere and service. Great place to meet up and have a drink.

Used to be a great bar ten years ago or so but sadly due to new management it has become just another hipster haunt with pretentious clientele, awful door security, condescending bar staff and poor quality food and drink. Avoid

Terrible vibes, terrible bar staff. AVOID.

Great pub in friendly part of the city. I didn't eat here and was in a bit early for a good atmosphere but will return.

Don’t book your party here! Hugely disappointing experience at the Cat and Mutton. Me and my fiancé booked an engagement party at the venue. We had preordered buckets of drink and reserved a space upstairs. When we arrived the staff didn’t seem aware that we were coming and we were sat in an area that was way too small for our party. The staff also didn’t seem aware of the preordered drinks. Once the drinks came out it was 6 in a bucket instead of the 12 we had paid for. We assumed that the rest would be brought out soon. However, as the night went on and nothing happened, we went to talk to the staff which were completely oblivious. They informed us they would talk to their manager on duty. Time went on and nothing happened. Our guests had to start ordering their own drinks - which we wanted to avoid by providing them with the buckets. Eventually more buckets turned up without as much as an apology. Additionally, the cider we ordered was Moat, but the ones we received were Bulmer’s (which I find undrinkable). From start to finish it was a very disappointing experience. We preordered drinks and tables to relieve stress from our party - but the poor service from the staff made it more stressful than if we had just walked in and bought our drinks from the bar.

We had a very disappointing experience at this pub. Which is a real shame as it got such a good location.... but I think that's the only thing which keeps it going! The selection of wine is poor considering it is in such a foodie/drinks area. I ordered a wine, and the glass was dirty with the previous person's lipstick and food on it. Gross... I returned to the bar where the server took a new glass and proceeded to pore either water or soda from the postmix dispense gun over the glass....alarm bell 1! They wiped the rim of the glass with some blue roll and poured a new glass of wine. This glass was Unfortunately worse than the first... I went back to my table where the sun gleamed through the window and my new 'polished' glass revealing every bit of food partials on the glass. Honestly, it was comical and grimm at the same time. Ignoring the warning signs, my partner and I ordered food. Which we were told would be a minimum 30-minute wait.. The food arrived later, and it was honestly so disappointing... two roast potatoes, half a small carrot and half a small parsnip... but the meat was awful... the pork was jelly.... top crackling was soggy, and the beef was inedible and couldn't be cut with a knife. I went to the bar to ask to speak to a manager, and the staff were perched at the end of the bar on a laptop and the other eating their lunch. I asked if I could speak to the manager, and she replied ' why is it the toilets? ' Honestly, I almost laughed as it wasn't the toilets, but obviously, the toilets are also an issue... oh lordy...I have been here before and used the facilities that are in need of some TLC, to say the least... but no, I replied its not the toilets... anyway, we asked for a refund, left the drinks and food, and headed to the Virgin Queen down the road! This venue needs some serious operational input or at least a manager with their EYE on the business! Will be spending my hard earned money elsewhere!

Very busy pub next to the Market. Usual range of large beer brands

We had a mixed experience when coming to the Cat & Mutton for our group Christmas meal last month. We each paid a £10 deposit and unfortunately one member of the group caught Covid so couldn’t come. I called ahead to make them aware but upon arrival no one seemed to know about this and we were told by the manager that we would have to cover the full cost of the meal. There is no mention anywhere in the booking policy that this will be the case (trust me I checked!) so just be aware that if you cannot attend you will be liable for the £10 deposit and the full price of the meal. The meal itself was nice and the waiters and waitresses in the restaurant area were all really polite and attentive during a busy period, but we all felt that this particular issue could have been handled a lot better.

Wer nicht hier war hat etwas verpasst

Outrageous prices for terrible food, and the place was quite dirty as well. The only thing the staff was interested in was acquiring my money, so most plates were returned nearly full. If bad food smothered in terrible sauce is your thing then you've found your mecca....

Molto bello. Birra comune . Niente di eccezionale

Had a wonderful vegan christmas roast here on the weekend. A lovely pub, we sat upstairs and the place has a great atmosphere. Had sourdough bread, mulled wine, wellington roast (Vegan is without Yorkshire puds) and apple crumble with ice cream (all vegan options). Was a group of 6, so we booked a table in advance - recommended as it gets busy and most tables were reserved! Service was great and we had a fun time!

Underwhelming to be honest. Small roast and the desert wasn't exactly as advertised and was tiny for 9.50. Tasty but not great.

What a wonderful pub!!! Great deco and atmosphere, nice mulled wine and food

Great atmosphere but the food was very dry, not enough gravy, yorkshire pudding was insanely dry. There was 4 of us and we all weren't impressed due to how dry the potatoes and meat (turkey, beef) was and our carrots were burnt. Needs more gravy personally

Excellent food, nice pub. We tried the Christmas menu (3 courses at 35£) and everything was delicious. The trout starter and the turkey main were great and tasty. The location is very nice, next to the Broadway market in Hackney, so there is plenty to do in the area. The pub is very nice, but if you get seated in the ground floor, it will get very crowded and noisy. Not the best to eat with friends as it gets messy and the noise can be so high that you don't hear much of your conversations. Anyhow, the food was delicious and the pub and its atmosphere are great.

The roast is.. unfortunately disappointing. Roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings were obviously from frozen. My boyfriend's beef was tough and chewy. My vegetarian wellington was ok, but an individual pie which I suspect was from frozen too. The gravy was bland. Disappointing

A bit of everything this pub. You want to escape the hectic market, grab a cheeky pint. You want a banging Sunday roast, get booking. You want a private party or just to feel like you’re having people round to yours for some comfy drinks and a chat, get upstairs. Back in the day this place used to have some banging lock ins but still has same appeal on Fri and Saturday nights when open late. Or just want to hang out and watch h the world go by from in and outside along busy Broadway market. Great not so wee pub. Staff despite changing management still on point, friendly and welcoming.

Food was really great and there was very cozy vibe. The staff were not so friendly.

Nice place to have a beer, or something to eat.

Nice pub but closed up quite early.

Roast Chicken was dry in parts, pork was delicious. Pigs in B amazing. Sticky toffee SO disappointing! It should be described as something different. It was dry with a drizzle of custard!

Had the vegan roast, the nut roast itself was good but it was very overpriced at £17. The portions were small with barely any vegetables- a tiny smear of celeriac purée, one carrot and one parsnip. There are other local options with better roasts that are better value.

Came here for an open mic night, the vibe was great. The place is nice and comfy!

Been served by the blonde European girl and she was extremely polite and kind! Thanks a lot

Such an atmosphere! Love it! My absolute favourite im Broadway Market check out upstairs.

Nice clean airy pub with a story.

The food was delicious, a perfect Sunday roast and the pigs and blankets were great. Despite everything being lovely with our meal, we left on a sour note. Our bill had service charge applied and when it came to paying I asked to pay the bill with no service. This was not due to anything being wrong with the service and I told the waitress that everything was fine. She questioned us about it again to which I then felt I had to express it was due financial situations. We paid the bill and the waitress walked to another colleague 5 metres away from us and we could hear them talking about how we didn’t pay the service. I felt very judge and disappointed that this had caused such a fuss to them when it is an optional payment. It was a shame this happened because the atmosphere and food was good.

Location, location, location! There aren't too many better spots to post up for a few pints, watching the characters of London Fields pass by. Service can be frustratingly slow at times.

Lovely local pub in a buzzing area. We had mezze sharing - asked for extra flatbread which I was prepared to pay for but was given gratis

Good pub, nice spot, good characters and generally great service. Occasional hassle from passers-by if you're outside, but would definitely recommend.

My dear! A quiet summer pint ruined by a very rude staff member unapologetically power washing the seating area outside for an hour peak sunshine, peak pint moment. Splash splosh. I guess the spray was slightly welcome. One fish taco laden with a fish and chip portion of fish was an awkward eat

Nice pub food and great atmosphere!

The vegan roast (Wellington) was good, but roast potatoes were not the best and we had to ask for more gravy. The bar service was not great (apart from one lady serving), she had to stop what she was doing to serve me while 2 of her colleagues were free and walked past me.

Really nice pub atmosphere in a pretty busy area. Managed to grab a seat upstairs, really nice vibe and cool pub deco. It was good to see a nice ale on tap ‘Tribute’ from Cornwall. However, did buy one IPA that cost £7, which for me seemed extremely expensive. Considering it was just a standard IPA (not crazy high on the alcohol %)

Friendly. A bit crowded at night.

Nice pub. The most important thing about it is that my team won the Tuesday night quiz. Also it's got a nice atmosphere, comfy seats, nice grub, not too pricey, decent Guinness, and loads of tables. Team Bill, immortalised forever as the winners of the Cat & Mutton quiz night. Yeeehaw

Fanatic selection of beers and a friendly atmosphere.

Good pub. Food was okay. Nothing exceptional.

Took my pint and food away when I clearly wasn’t finished, shambles

Lovely Sunday roast and good nice airy location.

Just a lovely place with great atmosphere

Great place for a crazy night out, DJ late, with people hitting the dance floor in style

Stumbled on this place when walking round Victoria park with my son. Both had Sunday lunch which we could not fault. Very relaxed atmosphere.

When you pay £17 for a chicken burger, you'd not want the chicken to be overcooked, dry and chewy, right? And at £14, you'd probably not want your curry to be bland and full of gristle. Assuming so, I'd probably eat somewhere else and stick to the excellent drinks here.

An excellent pub handily placed for the park/market. If you do visit be sure to go up the spiral stairs to the really quirkily decorated upstairs area.

Cracking London boozer with lovely decor and a great atmosphere. Lovely staff. Quirky.

Perfect wee boozer beside the park. Watch life go by on a sunny day or revel in the weird and wonderful decor inside. Toilets down the spiral staircase.

came for the pub quiz which was great, staff friendly and accommodating, and good chips. prices very expensive for average quality of food that took over 30 mins to come. coleslaw was just a pile of shredded veg with no dressing. Couscous comes from an apartheid state which they promote on their menu.

"Dreamy Sunday Roast" I have booked SR in there two weeks ago purely because they are dog friendly altho, roast and the whole experience was truly memorable. Special thank you to ladies doing service upstairs - Clara and Kim. They have ensured we were looked after and I will definetly be back soon. Thank you. :-)

Good drinks at normal prices in a good location. Next to a park, has indoor and outdoor seating.

Nice early evening sounds from the DJ on Friday great place to enjoy warm evenings and it sells beer!

Best bar in the area. Interesting building. Food looked good, but pricey.

A lovely lunch. We would recommend the burger and chips!

Had friends visit from Sweden so took them to the Cat & Mutton for Sunday roast - most incredible service from the team, who were friendly and full of suggestions. Food was amazing (the vegan roast option was the best I’ve had in London!). Can’t wait to go back.

Mõnus melu ja eriti koos tänavaturuga.

Great Sunday Roast. Great atmosphere and friendly staff

Great pub. Noisy, fun, good service.

Great traditional pub and good beers

We had Sunday roasts, both chicken and beef. We were slightly disappointed by the chicken (the sage and pork stuffing was just a small meat ball on the side). The beef, however, was great. Quantity for both dishes were very large. Desserts were good but very (too?) sweet.

Real good Sunday roast and nice environment after! The staff was lovely and the only problem I had was at the following day...

£6.50 a pint but can’t provide any hand wash or toilets papers in the WCs. Also don’t trust their customers enough to put locks on the cubicle doors - a dive

Super crowded at night time on the weekends, but lovely and relaxed in the day!

Served chicken wings instead of vegan wings despite asking the waitress if it was definitely vegan at the table and she double reassured us - only once biting in was it confirmed they definitely work. Apology was basically non existent, it was just a refund of a dish we couldn’t eat anyway and getting asked a futile question of “how did it feel after not eating meat for so long” ? Baffling.

Excellent local pub, situated ideally in Broadway market!

VERY RELAXING N CHATTIN AWAY WITH GOOD PEOPLE NICE TEA COFFIN ANSO ON .

Good place , a pub disco on my opinion as there is a dj set also. I come here for a couple of drinks and some food with my mates and I have to say : I really enjoy the time here. The food was good, the music make me dance and it offer me the entertainment I need on a Saturday night, and the staff was really cool. The pub, of course, was full of people, at it create a great atmosphere. Suggested for a Saturday night when u don’t know what to do.

We came for a friends birthday with our two miniature sausage dogs, one of them is a puppy. The manager came over to say that our dogs were barking and that we need to leave and that several people had complained. Strange as nearly everyone in the whole pub came over to stroke the boys, people were queuing up! Yes they did bark when we were playing but I have no idea how anyone could even hear or be offend over the loud music and chatter in the pub. It was very clear after asking people around us if they were offended that they weren't and the manager hated dogs! After being served larger like dish water and not being able to use the toilet as there is no lock or toilet paper it’s safe to say we will never return and nor will my friends. A truly beautiful period pub ruined by poor management. Whoof, whoof whoof!

Great pub in an amazing location. The new upstairs bar is lovely, and overall has great vibes, tasty cocktails and a fab selection of beers.

Pleasant setting in traditional Victorian pub with modern vibes. Friendly service. Didn't have cask ale available when I visited but may do at other times.

Took the family here for a Christmas lunch and it was delicious! Will definitely be back for food

Popped in for a couple of drinks with a mate. Excellent service from the staff, lovely drinks and fantastic vibes all round. Definitely one to keep in mind when visiting the area

Lieu à découvrir et je vous recommande de venir déguster les produits Indiens surtout au stand bleu turquoise ( voir photos) qui vous feront voyager 👍

Still one of the greats and damn is it busy on a Saturday night. Put it on your list of cool places to visit when you're in town.

Always really like this place, good service, good vibe but it’s got _really_ expensive. I had the Korean chicken burger and when it arrived it looked like it has never seen a hot plate and tasted microwaved. Chips were nice but the meal didn’t feel worth £18. Go for a drink but I’d swerve the food.

Cosy dark pub with restaurant upstairs.

Cosy place good to hang out with friends

Service très sympa et bloody Mary délicieux!!

Food and Service was great and lovely vibes

Today was my first visit. It was lunchtime on a Thursday and me and my dog wete the only ones in when I ordered lunch, at the bar. The barman was fime but I had to ask 3 times for a glass of water. The waitress on the other hand was terrible. She didnt engage at all and was happier gossiping behind the bar than doing her job properly. I had to ask for black pepper, when it should be offered automatically and not once did she come to check back to make sure everything was ok. Also I wasnt offered any condiments with main course. Lastly all my courses came at the same time when I had not requested that. Thw food was fantastic by the way so top marks to the chef but the service was terrible.

Very popular drinking spot on the market, ok selection of beers. Food is very hit and miss and don’t expect too much in the way service, other than that find a spot outside on the benches and enjoy the busy market.

Good atmosphere but mediocre food.

Organised a large group booking for a birthday party. The food was great, service was speedy, and staff were very friendly and accommodating. It's also a really cool venue, will definitely be back!

My friends and I came in last Sunday for a roast and the host was able to find us a table quickly which was greatly appreciated. The menu was reasonably priced and the food was outstanding and exactly what was needed after going to markets all morning. I would’ve rated this 5/5 if it wasn’t for the staff. For an establishment, where the only interaction customers have with staff is when ordering (as you have to go to the bar to order) you would think that the staff would have even an ounce of customer relation skills? First: they all looked miserable. Second: all three bar members served around 5 other people who joined the queue after me (which I’m pretty sure they did on purpose). After both of my friends saying I was next to order I was not only ignored by all three bar members, but then they proceeded to talk about me as if I wasn’t there and make comments about me after I sat down (which I heard) Really shocked that these are the people that this lovely pub has chosen to represent them. Thirdly: I ordered a coke, so I was surprised when the girl pulled out a 2 litre bottle you can get from Tesco and pour it in a glass in front of me - was a bit of a shock. Thankfully the food and atmosphere redeemed the service. Would suggest that management has a training session for the front of house staff :)

Cosy vibe on the corner of the market, friendly staff as well x

This place is busy for a reason! Mark had us seated in 10/15 mins even though it was heaving. Had the cashew and mushroom wellington and it was delicious!! Great ambience, busy and vibey and the food is super good. FYI vegan vs. Veggie roast just means with or without a Yorkshire pudding - defo go for with 😂. Also, if you area seated on the ground floor make sure you add a tip as service isn’t included.

Great local where the food is even better than the drinks

We visited the upstairs for a big birthday party. The staff were excellent and the quality of the food provided was also great. As we stayed a bit longer other patrons were allowed in and it was nice to see that the pub is very dog friendly.

Really lovely staff and a very delicious Sunday roast and dessert! Thank you also for being so attentive with my puppy! You were all so accommodating <3 Not a complaint but we paid before realising the service charge was taken off the bill and had no actual cash on us to give a better tip.

Would say 4 but the thimble of chips for £4 was hilarious buy some bowls.

Huge shout out to The Cat and Mutton. We had a fab Sunday roast yesterday, the roast was out of this world! The service was also OUTSTANDING. We booked a table but ended up have a few more people then expected join, but the staff were so accommodating and helping find seats and making everyone feel comfortable. Great food, great drinks, great service and great time!

Lively place, great DJ, Mr Mark Hosker. Defo a reason to go there in hipster broadway Market.

We held our wedding celebration here in the room upstairs and the team went above and beyond to make it a cracking night. Would 10/10 recommend for a great party.

the old man working here with his hair in a bun, should learn to speak badly about his customers less loudly. Unprofessional, cursing, and very rude service.

Fantastic Sunday Lunch and top notch customer service. First visit, but definitely not the last.

Nice pub, always busy even though it is big. Nothing too special but cosy.

Had a deliciously saucy dinner here. Steak & ale pie with mash and sticky toffee pudding for dessert. Unbelievably good. Great vibes in the restaurant as well.
