Cat & Mutton PH

The sizeable Cat & Mutton PH sits at the helm of Hackney's Broadway Market has been welcoming its costermongers and consumers for 300 years.   Over the centuries it has evolved into an establishment of two kinds: downstairs is a traditional pub, serving ales and roasts to thirty something locals.   Up a spiral staircase is Pearl's cocktail lounge: a crepuscular bar with creative drinks, heavily draped windows and panoramic views of the market below.   Both floors have comfy mismatched furniture, retro mirrors and old ceiling features made of tin.   There is a rather manky stuffed cat over the door.
