About this restaurant

Neighborhood gem
Charming
Good for special occasions

The Pig and Butcher opened its doors in 2012 and has become a bit of an Islington institution. A laid back country style pub with a stunning private dining room and honest cooking showcasing the best farms in the UK.

In the bar we serve craft beers, wine from family-owned vineyards only, aperitif cocktails and a selection of local hand pulled ales.

We have recently completed our beautiful private dining room. With a wood burning stove and Aga oven, it’s our own farmhouse kitchen in the heart of Islington. There is no charge for the room however there is a minimum spend. It is available for either lunch or dinner and will seat 16-24 guests comfortably. For availability and minimum spend details drop us an email at crackling@thepigandbutcher.co.uk. We offer our feasting menu – all dishes are served on vintage platters ‘farmhouse style’ for the table to share. It is quite meaty, but don’t despair, Vegetarian and Pescatarian guests will be catered for by the daily changing a la carte menu.

Fabulous restaurant for our Sunday lunch. The place was buzzing and the staff were fabulous ensuring everyone was catered for. Would definitely recommend this restaurant to anyone who wanted a great Sunday lunch in a vibrant yet cozy London bistro pub. Would definitely go back again one of our visits to London

Perfectly good food with prompt service. Wine list was eye-wateringly expensive. So much so that we only had one course and walked to a nearby pub. Really wanted to like this place as we are local. The braying City types on the next table kinda gave the game away.

Tasty food, good prices, nice atmosphere. We went for a Sunday roast with my family and sat at the upper floor which was more quiet. The service was great and the food and wine was very nice.

Took the wife to this place as reviews recommend the steak and boy was she not disappointed. We started with just bread and butter , but a couple of large slices of sourdough with salty butter and beef dripping came ...she loved it. Then for main I ordered the hake and she had the Rump in peppercorn sauce ..the hake was good but unsure if it was worth the £26 price tag , however the steak at a whopping £32 was according to my wife the best steak she has ever tasted ...so worth it .. no time or room for pudding so left it there ...wife was happy meaning I was too !!

Food and ambiance were good, however we made a 9pm booking through open table, arrived a few minutes after our booking only to be told the kitchen was actually closed. They then came back and said they could accommodate us only if we ordered immediately, and were then somewhat rushed through dinner, leaving after about 50 minutes in the restaurant. To make guests put a card down, accept a 9pm reservation and then initially turn guests away is pretty shocking.
