The Pig and Butcher

About

This historic gastropub in Islington operates from a mid-19th century building that once served farmers driving livestock to Smithfield Market. The establishment combines traditional pub atmosphere with contemporary dining, featuring daily-changing menus that showcase seasonal British produce. An on-site butchery processes fresh meat daily, while staff hand-select fruits and vegetables each morning from local markets. The venue offers multiple dining options including à la carte service, weekday set lunches, weekend breakfast, and Sunday roasts served in a country-style dining room. Pet owners can bring their companions to enjoy the welcoming pub environment while sampling dishes prepared with ingredients sourced from carefully selected farms and suppliers. A curated wine selection features bottles from family-owned vineyards alongside local beer options. Private dining facilities include an upstairs room with wood-burning stove that accommodates up to 24 guests for intimate gatherings. The establishment also provides exclusive venue hire for larger parties, with the main dining areas seating up to 45 guests total. Operating hours vary between bar and kitchen service, with extended weekend hours to accommodate both casual drinks and full dining experiences.
