the Cat and Mutton

The Cat and Mutton has firmly established itself on Broadway market as the place to eat, drink and be merry. Originally called The Cattle & Shoulder of Mutton, it has been a fixture in Londons East End since the late 1600′s. Initially a renowned ale house frequented by the many drovers and agricultural workers arriving in London to sell there various beasts in the markets in what now is known as the city, the name was centuries later shortened to The Cat and Mutton. After years of neglect it was bought by its current owner in 2003 and has heralded a resurgence in a vibrant part of Hackney. You can view the website for our sister venue, The London Fields,
