Cat & Mutton in Hackney

Good london pub. Lots of seats.

Lovely bar refund since last time I was there. Shame it’s now a sports bar. Kills the atmosphere of what could be a great boozer

With Erik, best place on earth!

If you’re going to charge nearly £15 for 2 shandies please at least clean the toilets. The smell of drains was so strong you could smell it coming up the stairs and not a single cubicle had loo roll in them. Staff seemed annoyed with me for pointing it out they needed restocking. Shame as it’s a prime location on broadway market - should be a great spot for a sunny day.

Great pub. Always good vibes and great Sunday roast!

Came in as an elderly lady had fallen at the bus stop outside. Two bar staff came out with a first aid kit and helped out which was sound!

A Sunday roast must in Broadway Market! The beef was sublime and the cauliflower cheese was great. 100% recommend! We got there at 1pm and were lucky to be able to find a table for lunch but it’s a popular spot and would recommend to book in advance.

I had the pleasure of photographing Gayle and Jacks wedding and joined them for their reception at the Cat + Mutton! What a venue, a really lovely location for a party, great food, the staff were so lovely and on top of everything. This pub has such great vibe, lots of history with modern decoration, would definitely recommend! @jhumphreyphoto

Great location on broadway, outside seating is great in the summer. Food is standard pub fair which is just what ya fancy sometimes.

Did life drawing here, was so cozy

Went for sons 40th happy birthday and we couldn't have chosen a better place to go. The bar staff were absolutely superb. There were 9 of us for lunch, all served at the same time,food was stunning and what really got us they were all hot (not microwave hot,real hot). The prices were fair, it's not cheap but very well worth the money (sorry for poor English ,but I'm Welsh🤣) If we lived in or around this pub I'd have Sunday lunch there every weekend.. I thank the staff very much for looking after us in way they did

I went to the Cow and Mutton for a Sunday roast and the food was really lovely, good portion sizes of glazed belly pork and extra large Yorkshires to die for. The music was 90s Rnb which gave great vibes, but the star of the show is the Manager Aaron, his hospitality is exceptional his energy and professionalism is elite. His personality is perfection, you feel valued as a customer. If your looking for a good time with a laid back atmosphere with great food and a fabulous host this is the place to be.

Enjoyed a tasty Sunday pork belly roast, must see when visiting this pub along broadway market. Upstairs the service was nice and decor was dark wooden pub vibes with nice views of London fields.

Popped in for a few drinks in the afternoon. Lovely pub, but the toilets were VILE. Ladies toilets....one had no door, one was filthy, one was dirty, and one had no toilet paper. Obviously not checked out at all, dreading to think what it's like in the evening! Walking past the gents it stunk!!!!! The staff weren't particularly busy, this needs to be addressed!!!!

French woman looking for the British guy she met at the Cat & Mutton, Broadway Market (London, a few years ago) This is a long shot, but I have to try. I’m French, and I met a British guy one evening a few years ago at the Cat & Mutton, Broadway Market in London. He had just come back from the U.S., and we ended up talking for hours—one of those rare, effortless connections you don’t forget. I didn’t ask for his number, but I’ve always regretted it. I was with a group of friends that night, and he was with someone too. If you see this and remember me, tell me who you were with so I know it’s you. I’d love to reconnect!

Nice refugee from the Broadway Market madness. Nice upstairs space for big bookings.

Rude staff. Apparently *all* tables inside are for food only? Just weird, won’t be returning.

Local Pub with Class, cool ambience and lovely staff. The food is exceptional

Good food, beautiful pub in a nice location. Slightly understaffed when we went. Food took very long to arrive but was good.

Went here for Sunday lunch, been before, I've lived in Hackney all my life, been everywhere for Sunday lunch, this is the best Sunday lunch in the area, the new manager Aaron has brought real gd vibes to the place,, not too pricey, music was so gd, I had the pork and my daughter had the Chicken, highly recommend. Vicky an Pria.

Nice traditional British pub with a good beer selection and cocktails located at Broadway market street. Would be cool to visit it when you are visiting Hackney or places around.

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!

Had a thrilling chat with Luca bartender who recommended the wines. I shared my wine experiences, and he made my customer experience on the happy side.

Really enjoyed this place - came for a friendsmas meal and was not disappointed. Beers were a little bit expensive but it’s Broadway Market! We had the Christmas Sunday menu and I had beef - I tasted the pork belly too, though, and admittedly this was nicer.

This is a truly brilliant pub. 1729 established. Superb authentic decor. Great service. Great crowd. Make a point of coming here.

Really cool pub! Plenty of tap selections and pub food was amazing! We had steak and Ale pie, highly recommended!

Don't eat here... Just drink here... Hahaha. ;) x

On Friday I rented the top floor of the venue for a private Christmas work party and it was incredible! Amazing value for money, the staff were so kind and attentive and the food was amazing. Everyone was so happy and I'd really recommend :) thank you to Robbie and the team for looking after us

Local beers and appetizers to share.

Nice spot for a Sunday roast with correct prices Note they don't serve coffee but you can bring one from outside

Had an awesome apple crumble ! It was very hot though so be careful and don't burn your tongue like I did haha.

Great place... Pleasant pub offers evenings with DJ. cool atmosphere, fair price.. Satisfying cuisine...

I really want to love this pub, so it is a shame to give the following review. My recent experience has terrified me. Yorkshire pudding had a long brown hair wedged into the batter (yuck). I did let this one go. Shortly after I found an actual STONE in my food. Yes, I had chewed on it, and I’m scared to know what the dental bill is going to be, as I went full crunch in it. Ouch. Initially, I thought it was maybe and extremely burnt bit of potato, but having bitten down on this, and inspecting it with the waitress, this was a in fact a stone. I have eaten here before and been really happy with the food. Service was great and the staff seemed genuine when they apologised to me (not their fault), but this does give me reasonable doubt around the hygiene of the kitchen. Yuck. They will be getting the dentist bill because a filling has definitely shattered 😫

I like this pub... but it is a bit on the pricey side... £20 for a roast, the food is well cooked and tasty but the portion isnt great... one half carrot, one half turnip and a tablespoon of what i presume to be swede... hidden under the obligatory giant yorkshire pudding, meat portion was reasonable, but why not more veg? Pints are at the upper price for London which is usual for a trendy part of town. Staff are always friendly in my experience.

Friendly staff and scrumptious food. Come down on Saturday or Sunday. Good vibes all round.

Pub in the heart of Broadway market with a good selection of beers available on tap

Great old pub. Excellent food and beers. Recommended.

Cozy and Quirky: This charming pub offers a unique atmosphere with vintage decor, eclectic artwork, and a playful touch of stuffed animals. Great beer selection, with options ranging from classic to craft brews. While the ground floor is lively with music and dancing, the upstairs provides a quieter, more intimate setting.

Bouncer was a good guy, deserves a pay rise Bar was okay

Avoid the food! It’s not fresh and tastes like straight out of the microwave. Only come here for drinks!

Been in twice with my family in the last week. The food is excellent and the service is very good. Will definitely be back.

Hopping pub on weekends with overflow from London Fields. Great decorations and live djs at night. 6.50€ pints, as typical.

A decent pub for drinks & a Sunday Roast! Veggie roast option available which can be made vegan upon request!

Asked for a Pimms drink, guy uses his dirty hands to put the orange slices in my drink, wipes his hands on his clothes and makes my drink. When I told him is this normal? He replied: do you want me to use the tongs?.... I said yes, you shouldn't be using your fingers, he got upset, dashed the drink in the sink and made a new one with an attitude as he was angry that I even asked for normal hygienic practices. He expected me to drink something he made with his dirty hands. Disgusting!

The lamb was amazing. Good local pub, worth a visit.

Went for Sunday Roast for Daughter In Laws 40th Birthday and all in all very good. Love the ambience. Beer was okay but wish they did Real Ale as well as keg beers. I had the Roast Beef with Horseradish but TBH the Horseradish was more like a mayo. It had zero heat to it and not much flavour. I may be wrong but the Yorkshire Puds were not homemade but bought in so lacked flavour. I love the fact the place is dog friendly although pooch was a little unsure of the spiral staircase. As I said, all in all a great couple of hours in which to eat a relaxed Sunday Dinner and BTW, the Lemoncello Trifle was Superb. Will Return

Used to be an alright pub, but now charging £7 for a pint of hells is a rip off.

Staff are friendly and lovely. Regulars seem pretentious, don't know how they put up with it lol

Nice pub with a nice range of ales and lagers. Very friendly staff when we went on Friday evening.

Really enjoyed the varied food menu and vibrant atmosphere, perfect for a Sunday recovery session. I've added it to my barguide.london site too!

5/5 for a drink but 1/5 for food. Brilliant pub for a pint but the meal was like it came served out of the microwave

Very good atmosphere, nice buzzing place

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

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.

Having a catch up with old school friends so thought we’d book the Christmas set menu. We shared the mixed meat platter to start, which was very delicious but I do feel it was a bit cold the hot things and as if it had been sat there for a while. The mains were ok, but again, yummy produce but as if it was sat on the pass for a while. Christmas pudding was very nice and cheese board huge! Lovely pub upstairs, we will be back.

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.

Fanatic selection of beers and a friendly atmosphere.

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

Good pub. Food was okay. Nothing exceptional.

Having been let down by another restaurant where we had a reservation we managed to walk in and get a (small) table here on a busy Sunday afternoon. I don't usually like ordering online but actually the ordering system was very easy to use for food and we bought drinks at the bar. Considering how busy it was we didn't have to wait too long for our food. I enjoyed the whipped feta small plate and my daughter was happy with the vegetarian roast. I'm sure we would have been more comfortable if we had booked and had a table upstairs but overall we enjoyed our meal.

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
