Omer CavusogluMarch 8, 2016My local and therefore my favourite. Always a bit too crowded but lovely, especially on calmer weekday evenings. Nice terrace at the back and good food selection, too.
Carl GriffinJune 20, 2016Used for exterior shots for 90s comedy 'Goodnight Sweetheart'. Bright and airy interior. Great real ales.
Laura RaynerOctober 19, 2013Love this pub, especially in the winter when they do hot cider and mulled wine. Teamed with a browse through the pretty shops on Columbia Road it's always a winner of a day.
Avril Turner DuffyJanuary 29, 2016Lovely pub, great atmosphere, not too expensive for pints. Staff friendly, we had a laugh with Warren and the John Snow lookalike working behind the bar. We will be back.
Bustling pub where you’d catch a glimpse of Alexa Chung or the chap from Arctic Monkeys. Cozy in winter and perfectly placed for post flower-market pint & plate. Mushroom gnocchi is small but sublime.
Alexandros PlexidasMarch 12, 2017English pub with character in Columbia street. Despite the typical options to have a drink, it has decent options if you're looking for dinner. Nice garden in the back.
Martin TiedemannMay 29, 201218 November: One of East London's prettiest pubs, situated on a beautiful street that survived the bombs which destroyed huge sectors of the surrounding area. Used as a location by film and TV crews.
tom andrewsFebruary 5, 2010Campania and their Daily specials is the best three courses of authentic southern Italian cuisine for a mere tenner at lunch with an unaffected deli charm I've yet found anywhere in London.
AaronNovember 15, 2015Nice beers, but drop the £0.50 card fee in an age where we're all paying by card. (Your 'fee' sure isn't £0.50 on a £4 pint!)
Sunday lunch here is fab. Come straight in off the street of flower selling madness (fun in its own way though). Slow and civilised meal, but always busy. Good hipster watching! Read more- Pieter de MeerSeptember 28, 2015Great pub with a nice beer garden. Spot the ghost painting across the toilet.
- George JohnsonApril 2, 2012In the middle of Columbia Road Flower Market - looks like its the only watering hole round here - gets very busy on market day
- You're high if you don't order their chunky chips with aioli. High.
Giac_ManSeptember 8, 2013Really nice pub but I've been here on Sunday for the first time and I have to say the roast pork was not very good. Not up to my expectations and definitely overpriced
Gianpiero PuleoMay 27, 2014They have three mains, and even though we were the only take in the restaurant they ran out of one of them. The rest of the food was good but overpriced.
Christoph LorenziJune 11, 2017Beliebter Pub für den typischen Sunday Roast, kann man gut mit einem Spaziergang über den berühmten Columbia Road Flower Market verbinden der jeden Sonntag stattfindet- Molotov CupcakeNovember 5, 2019Beliebter Drehort. Der Kray Film "Legend" wie auch der Guy Ritchie Film "Lock Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" beinhalten Szenen die hier gefilmt wurden.

"At the foot of London Fields, the nearly 300-year-old Cat & Mutton pub has a new gastro menu. Join locals and dozing whippets, East London’s dog of choice, on the benches outside."

"RIP the best Friday night in London. The Birdcage is now a Draft House pub and with it has gone the karaoke, locals and fun."
Uslan - 8.0
"A new favourite - perfect for winter evenings. Commendable selection of draught beers. Small bites from the bar good too."
Pub Mapper - 9.1
"What should pointed out mostly is the cozy and laid back ambiance of this place and the good service. Great list of wines. The fish and pasta we tried were all delicious and fresh."
