Cat Mutton - Hackney

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.

Just wanted to sing the praises of all the wonderful team who looked after us all day at Emma and Jason’s wedding yesterday. Nothing was too much trouble and service was slick and perfectly co-ordinated. We were served welcome drinks, canapés and a full roast dinner in the most “seemingly” effortless way but I know how hard this is to achieve. When the meal was over the room was re-arranged to accomodate evening guests and make way for dancing, all done in the most polite fashion and good grace. For an East End Boozer it was world class, Thanks everyone.

This pub is located in a fantastic area and offers a relaxed atmosphere. They have a wide selection of beers at reasonable prices for London. There is outdoor seating where you can people watch, and on market days you can enjoy food purchased at the market at their tables as long as you buy a drink. The interior is cozy and inviting, with friendly and efficient staff. I visited multiple times over the weekend based on a recommendation and will definitely return.

Celebrated a friends birthday here at the weekend. They allowed us to decorate the area and the staff were all lovely and friendly. Some of us ate and the food was really good. Good prices for food and drink, especially for the area. A really nice pub with a traditional feel. I will def visit again, we had a blast. Thank you x

My wife and I frequent broadway market quite a bit, we are a short cycle ride away. This particular Sunday we went to the Cat and Mutton for a roast. We were offered seats upstairs, but as this was table service we opted to eat in the bar downstairs, wanting a more relaxed Sunday vibe. Not a restaurant with service charge. So I ordered at the bar. Two roast dinners, a side of cauliflower cheese and two red wines came to £72.68. I thought this was steep. It wasn’t until we ate our pleasant, but not overly rememberable roast dinner that I decided to add up our bill. It transpired they added a discretionary service charge of 12.5% without my knowledge. Even on top our drinks. That I, let me repeat, ordered at the bar. After complaining they said it was on the menu at the bottom as discretionary. It was, in faded small writing. And We should have seen it on the bill, what bill? When you order at the bar you just tap. There isn’t a bill. Be aware that they are doing this. They did give us some service charge back. It wasn’t enough because he automatically just did it in a huff for the two roasts. Not our drinks or side. And They wasn’t happy!! But at least they gave it back. For us it was it was the principle. Another “pub” off the list . Oh well!!!
