The Owl and the Pussycat in Tower Hamlets - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We had the Sunday roast, both vegan and meaty with some starters. Everything was great! Thanks to LOUIS, who made us feel incredibly comfortable and had a great sense of humour. Would 100% book again.

Great spot with awesome pints and people. The back garden is an amazing place for a pint and the staff was super friendly and cool

Very expensive but friendly staff and good service, specifically Amber who was very friendly and poured a good pint of Guinness

Had a great time here was served by Beth and Amber they were really polite and made nice drinks! Our experience was memorable and I will definitely be back

Came here a few months back and decided to give it another go…. 10/10 recommend for people who want to have a good night out with the friends in the heart of Shoreditch. Service was lovely both up and downstairs, pints were not too expensive compared to other places I’ve been and food was lovely.

We hired the upstairs of Owl and The Pussycat. The staff were super accommodating and nothing was too much trouble. We loved the space and will definitely be back again. Thank you team!

Went in for a Sunday roast and it was lovely. The espresso martini was a bit diluted (need to be faster with that shaker!) and they almost forgot to give me my yorkshire pudding (how dare you?) but, jokes on the side, the pork roast was AMAZING, very good starters as well, the cracklings OMG and the veggies as well! Big thumbs up!

A good pub/restaurant with very friendly, helpful staff. The Sunday roast was good but could have done with being hotter. To be fair, when we mentioned this the waitress offered to sort it out.

Amazing vegan roasts. Lovely atmosphere. Super helpful, friendly and welcoming staff. Perfect place for a Sunday roast.

Service was lovely but food needed a lot of improvement. Small portions and quite tasteless. One parsnip per roast? The Mac and cheese with hardly any cheese? Would go back, but not to eat.

Wonderful staff, lovely venue, just a shame about the Christmas set menu which was really poor.. 1 of our party's starters - crayfish cocktail had 3 prawns and a miniscule amount of crab and the mains (turkey) were cold by the time it all got brought out - the sides were lovely - dessert ok.. overall nice venue/location but food needs attention

Decent bar, a little loud and quite stuffy. I think it was probably a hot day but there wasn’t any air conditioning so it got quite sweaty

Very good atmosphere, good selection of beers, and good music. What else can one ask for? Slightly young clientele, but still fun

I'm really surprised the staff attitude has been criticised on other reviews because we thought they were brilliant - really friendly and we didn't have to wait long to be served even though it was packed. We went for a 60th birthday celebration which made us at least 30 years older than most of the other customers but we had a great night - really good atmosphere and great fun!

Booked to have my birthday party here (30th) with around 25 people. We had pre ordered food which arrived and was a fairly good size / tasty for the price. The whole evening was however undermined by the staff's attitude. They came across as rude and obnoxious, and treated us coldly as if we were a nuisance. We weren't a group of rowdy teenagers causing trouble - we were happily spending an evening there for a celebration, and giving them what must have totalled over £1K in the process. We were also cramped into a room upstairs (right next to the toilet) and were told off for standing too close to the server door when it was clear the actual problem was that they didn't have capacity to host a group of that size. The night concluded with us having to awkwardly argue with them about the bill - first because the guy behind the bar seemed annoyed we wanted to split the bill, and then because their card machine took a payment from one of my friends which showed on one receipt but not on another meaning they wanted to charge him again. As the title says nice food, shame about the staff. You might have fun dancing here, but for an event you can better spend your money elsewhere - they won't make you feel valued.

Banging night, good upbeat music , very friendly atmosphere... Fell asleep in a park somewhere afterwards, got hopelesly lost after that, but do still remember we had a great night. Thanks

Staff …. How rude …. Won’t be back. You’re not smart or clever go on a customer service course and make people feel welcome.

Great music, lovely pub although shame about staff. No customer service skills whatsoever, plain rude. Sadly won't be back.

This was my second visit and we ate upstairs on both occasions. The service was good and the food decent. The Sunday roasts could have been a little hotter and their was a mix up with the order, for which the staff apologised and provided a free drink. Overall we had a nice time and the staff really do make a difference, polite friendly and attentive.

Small portions which were it seems were precooked & warmed up before serving. Pretty tasteless. The toilet floor looked as it had never been cleaned so quite disgusting.

We had a lovely dinner and I would just like to say that Meghan is one of the hardest workers I’ve ever seen. She was so pleasant despite having a lot on her plate. Very impressed!

Decided to call here for Sunday lunch as it was just around the corner from where we were staying. We were greeted by a lovely young lady in the restaurant upstairs and she seated us by the window which was nice. I ordered a Bloody Mary which she made just to my liking that I had another. The pea and broad bean scotch egg for starter was beautiful and the Sunday Roast was hmm hmm. There were 4 of us in total each having 2 courses. Drinks wise we had 2 bloody Mary’s, a lime and soda, 2 lager shandy’s, 2 coca cola’s and 2 large wines. The bill came to a total of £195 inc service charge which I think is pretty good in the City.

Lovely pub , great food , great staff , massive choice of drinks , nice o/s seating area - nothing to moan about

Personally would not recommend. Booked an area for 22 people seated and standing, there was 5 seats maybe and the space we were given was not suitable for 22 people. Right next to the toilet entrance which was being blocked by us standing. Service was fine however if you know there’s a large booking make the room.

Lovely food.Brilliant staff.really enjoyed everything about this place.Thank you all who made everything so lovely

Amazing food (including vegan options). Wonderful atmosphere and super welcoming staff! Great place for a Sunday roast.

Booked the upstairs room for 26 people for a Stag Night. Excellent service, good food and a fun night. The staff were very friendly and accommodating of our slightly adjusted timings. Thanks!

There were 3 tables eating. One table of 17, ours's of 7 and one of 2. All pre-booked. Drinks were served promptly that is as far as the good experience went. 3 wanted Pie and they didn't have any. So we all opted for something...

Great pub, good atmosphere, waiting staff upstairs in restaurant were super friendly and obliging. Food was superb all round. Impressed.

Not only is this a bar with great vibes and decor but also great service and a great menu. I was only in for a beer but had the salt and pepper squid recommended from the bartender. Having eaten in hundreds of places I can...

Excellent cool pub in the heart of Shoreditch. Beer range is great and the burgers were amazing. Really buzzy crowd on a Saturday evening, would highly recommend.

Had a roast dinner and it was great (could’ve done with a bit more gravy though) however the staff behind the bar were quite patronising and weren’t very welcoming.

We sat upstairs, great service, very friendly staff & excellent Sunday lunch. Highly recommended & will go back.

Went there for a sunday roast. The food was okay. The potatoes were soggy, not enough gravy and the flavours were average. The greens, roast and yorkies were good though. Very cramped space, difficult to relax and enjoy. Also, for such a small room, there...

Just the best vegan roast ! Really delicious 😋 can’t wait to come back. The chef has done himself proud !

Do not come! This is not a bar with an atmosphere that you would want to be at! They call themselves a bar and they can’t even provide a peach schnapps and lemonade. Bar tenders are incompetent and rude. Don’t waste your time or your...

Great atmosphere. Nice ale. Average overpriced food. It's a shame the fod is not either better, more generous. Or cheaper to match the quality. But nice pub. Staff and atmosphere. Trendy.

Grabbed lunch with family. The pub is cosy, the food is good and the service excellent. Definitely recommended!

Me and my sister went there for a couple of pints… what a lovely atmosphere, tasteful pie, and so friendly staff, mainly Linette. I’ll definitely come back.

Really good atmosphere, the staff was very attentive, and Nathan was very helpful throughout the night. The food was excellent!

I visited this pub yesterday for the football and ended up staying there all day. Nathan in particular was very friendly and accommodating. He made sure we had drinks and food throughout the day and was an all-round friendly face. Would definitely recommend this pub...

Absolutely excellent food! The roast dinner was so tasty with plenty of meat and a really good sized portion. Great atmosphere and vibe too. Staff really friendly and helpful - could t do enough for you. It is very busy so definitely book. Only two...

Was so loud on arrival but a few large tables were booked, with children. Staff were lovely and attentive. We ordered some starters to share and the Sunday roast. The main arrived while we were still eating the starters, which is always irritating. Starters/small plates...

Very nice spot and the staff is amazing, super friendly and welcoming! Lovely outside area, well worth a visit would not hesitate to reccomend this place.

had the loveliest frozen margs and strawberry mint daiquiris sat in the garden, brilliant vibes, fun crowd!! definitely recommend !!!

What a lovely pub hidden away on Redchurch street. Great food, cold beer and amazing staff. Will definitely be coming back.

We ordered from the big better menu, which meant we got a free starter. Great value for money (even though my bf couldn't finish the sausage as it filled half the plate). Ordered using Greene King app, and the service was prompt and staff were...

I enjoyed my visit to The Owl and Pussycat . I enjoyed my pint of Guinness and a meal. Service was good, food came quickly and with a smile. I would return.

Visited with family & booked in advance …was taken to a table & left …it wasn’t in our name & the manager came over & said that the problem was that we had only booked for 4 people …I showed her my email reservation for...

Had a lovely visit to the beer garden on Saturday although originally we were booked into the upstairs room. Staff were very accommodating and the mother in law was raving about the veggie scotch egg and onion rings. This is our second time arranging a...

I visited this pub along with 7 friends for a Sunday roast lunch. Quick drink on ground level before we went up to the restaurant with a big welcome. Mixture of roast lunches, all well received with a 6/10 for the nut roast from one...

Came here for a quick drink and a bite to eat and ended up staying way longer than I intended. Service could be better, food is quite good I recommend the chicken strips! The music the night I went was on point. I’ll go again...

We booked half the upstairs yesterday for a leaving drink. There was about 20 of us and the person who booked didn’t want to book the entire floor in case we didn’t get the numbers predicted. The manager of the person leaving did a speech,...

Nice staff and good atmosphere. Drinks are fairly pricey but you're in Shoreditch! Visited on a Friday lunchtime for a quick drink and stayed for another - nice vibe. We'll be back to eat - the food menu looked great!

Owl and the pussycat never disappoints! Roasts were delicious and service was great! Will defo be coming back again!

Slow service and waitress dumped the wine on top of the menu I was reading. Very bad cleanliness-got given 2 glasses in a row that had lipstick on them. The beef in the roast was tough too. Would not recommend at all.

The roasts were huge and delicious and excellent value for money. Wonderful service. After our meal we sat outside for about 10 minutes before being found a nice table inside. Will definitely be coming back soon.

Two friends and I visited here for dinner on Friday night. We booked a table on their website (recommend). The outside seating area was really warm and I actually took my coat off. Staff were very friendly and the food was really good. Lots of...

Great pub - always been great for drinks. Beer garden is a plus but wish they'd bring seating back instead of standing only outside!

We had a lovely time and Naz was a legend shoutout her for her friendly service and being a top legend

I held a team meeting in here, in the room upstairs. We got a warm welcome, attentive service and a lunch served on time. We had a drink in the bar downstairs once we had finished. Really enjoyed it.

Booked a Sunday roast with friends. Table was initially placed in the middle of a baby shower but after requesting to move the staff reluctantly found us a table downstairs. Ordered medium steak which came out well done. Took it back and the chef cut...

Opening earlier than some of the other places in Shoreditch, we had a beer and breakfast. Whilst the bar staff seem disinterested it has great decor, superb beer and a tasty breakfast.

I came to The Owl and Pussycat last Sunday for a roast. The pub has a great atmosphere and was very busy, so glad we booked! I was very impressed with the service, the waitresses were attentive and friendly, and I loved that they came...

Dreadful service. Left without a drink after waiting 25 minutes for service. Bar staff out of their depths students.

We were a party of 8 4 Cockney 4 American cousins, the fact there was only 6 other people having Sunday lunch should of set alarm bells ringing, one young woman had a small dog at her table, (is this allowed ) I had roast...

I would give this place 0 if I could. Both bartenders upstairs had no idea how to make any of the signature cocktails which are displayed on their chalkboard. One of them had to reference a recipe sheet, clearly making the cocktail for the first...

Have visited the place twice now and have always found the place quite quirky and characteristic especially the beer garden. Ordered two Sangria's by the glass which was ok if a bit pricey, not quite sure if it was as authentic as could be, based...

When for a drink on a very hot day ordered a gin an tonic for my other half but it came with a slice of orange instead of lemon i complained but barman said it was free what more do you want unbelievable avoid avoid...

The four of us had lunch with Brakspear Gold beer. Music was contemporary - good choice and not too loud. Service was good. The young Swiss fellow was very helpful, friendly and had a good sense of humour. Lunch selections were fish and chips -...

I came for lunch and I tried some local dishes, the pie, the sausages and other two. They were all good. The place is humble but it's OK.

Busy bar on a Thursday night with after work drinks and couples hanging out. Ordered a pint of Camden Hells and single G&T; which cost £13.70!? I have a bad habit of tapping contactless and not really checking but still average price for spirit and mixer in Shoreditch is about £5/5.50. Bar man may have charged me for a double but I specified a single.

I have to say we really like the The Owl and Pussycat, a vibrant London bar thats well worth a visit, it busy and I will say the food was excellent. The only downside, we felt was the drink were slightly overpriced, so much so i asked how much individually the drink were, mmm expensive we felt. But you know, you pay for what you get and this pub certainly does have a great atmosphere.

On a crowded Saturday night we stumbled across the owl and pussycat in shoreditch. The main bar was too busy to get served so we headed upstairs this was the best decision we made all night. The bar itself was fairly standard however the barmaid Amy made the trip worthwhile. Besides being a vision in bar uniform her witty rapore can make you realise how quickly a man can fall in love. Her skills pouring drinks were second to none and her smile made a refreshing change to the vacant stares we had experienced up to that point. Amy I fear our time together was too short. But I digress the owl and pussycat is worth a visit

Chris was one of a breed. A very special guy. An excellent pub. Very friendly. Perfect start to a brilliant night.

We had a great time and are in absolute love with Karah! Thanks for a beautiful evening - we’ll remember it for years to come.

Had a great time. The bar person, , I love Cormat they were fantastic. He war great. So good I would recommend to anyone

A group of us met here for a drink late Saturday afternoon. We used to go to this pub a few years ago - it’s a nice pub, quite small inside but great outdoor space. Unfortunately, it’s a bit overpriced, the lager was warm and one of the staff was having a bad day.

Narrow and cramped, cool but not hipster, my visit was everything I could have wanted from a city centre pub.

This pub is by far one of my favourite pubs in London. The outside has a flower wall and is full of fairy lights. They play really good music which accommodates for everyone. I love the feel and atmosphere in this place.

Went with family and dog for Sunday lunch. Staff were extremely helpful, welcoming and accommodating of our pet. Food was delicious and plentiful. A lovely lunch.

Nice roast, nothing is advertised as GF but the veggie nut roast is and so is the gravey. Big enough portion, lots of veg. The yorkshires look amazing but haven't actually tried one as not GF

Pub com ambiente jovem e descontraído, óptimo para um almoço rápido. O pessoal é simpático e o serviço é rápido.

Totalmente deteriorado, aunque esto fue obviamente intencional. Diseñado para el poncey Shoreditch hipster hipster.

Lively music bar with a nice atmosphere . Been twice for drinks and had a Dessert the first time . It was Apple and Mango Crumble , but had no mango in it !!

Tipico Pub inglese, atmosfera London Style.

Lively venue with good real ale , can get very crowded especially ‘the after work brigade ‘ Plenty of seating upstairs

ne and my friends came here and we had the worst experience ever. The security was super rude to my friends and he Kicked us out! Rude staff too. Never again

It's a good pub (good beer, nice level of business normally, somewhere to sit about 50% of the time.

Visited yesterday at 4.00pm. We were party of 8. We should have been told beforehand that they only had three roast dinner available. But we were seated and tird , and had drinks when informed. The three aforementioned roasts arrived after a long wait and they had been scrabbled together. Horrible veg, dried up chicken and old bit of beef. It was like they had trouble getting enough to fill the plates. To top it all they forgot my granddaughters meal of avacado and egg on toast. She didn't get to eat this till we had finished. We couldn't wait as meal was bad enough without being cold. We were told by the waitress that they had a fall out with the chef. By the standard of the food I could tell he was not enthusiastic about the dishes he served. This is the second time we have eaten here and will be th last. The first time the food was gorgeous. I can't believe we sat there and ate it. Lesson to self, Complain, complain complain.

Fuimos precisamente buscando eso un pub inglés cerca del mercado de Brick Lane para disfrutar de un Sunday Roast. Todo correcto. Los camareros muy amables y simpáticos con nosotros se esforzaron incluso por hablar algo de español. Fantástico el brownie con helado. Gracias por el trato.

Stepped in for brunch. It takes a special place to be able to serve cold poached eggs TWICE (2nd time after being sent back initially).

Fuimos a este pub para un asado de cumpleaños el domingo después de leer que el asado era uno de los mejores de Londres. Pregunté por teléfono si que era probable que tendrían que plato dejado por 3 h y me dijeron que sí.

Een leuke authentieke pub waar je lekker met vrienden kunt borrelen. Verder niets bijzonders, personeel had zeker geen haast.

Traditional bar Limited seating due to food Drinking an Aperôl spritz What a pleasant way to start a Sunday lunchtime

A good place to grab a drink. The Owl and Pussycat had outdoor seating and live music which was a nice plus.

....wrapped up in a five-pound note. I always wondered how spending that money went?

Great pub , perfect vibe , mix of Trad but with a touch of local trendiness but great Balance of both . How a modern pub should be. Local hipsters , tourists plus old school east Enders all welcome & comfy here . Always great

Estupendo el personal, te atienden muy bien, los precios asequibles y el ambiente inmejorable. Tiene dos plantas y es bastante calentito para resguardarte del frío.
