The Owl & Pussycat is a Young’s pub at 34 Redchurch Street with a longstanding place in Shoreditch life. Its traditional bar, covered and heated garden and upstairs Jago room create several distinct settings for eating, drinking and gathering. Food is served every day, with familiar British pub dishes supported by seasonal specials and vegetarian and vegan alternatives.
Lunch buns keep midday meals simple, with fillings such as fish goujons, gammon and egg, breaded chicken or truffled mushroom with brie. Sharing bites include salt and pepper squid, honey mustard sausages, barbecue pork ribs, halloumi fries, popcorn chicken, a pork and apple Scotch egg and onion bhaji. These smaller plates suit a round of draught beer as easily as the beginning of dinner.
The main menu brings together a beef burger, a plant burger, Cumberland sausages with mash, chicken Caesar salad, cider battered haddock and a curried leek and mushroom pie. Sunday roasts include Angus rump of beef, chicken and a wild mushroom, spinach and carrot pie, all accompanied by roast potatoes, greens, carrots, parsnips and Yorkshire pudding. Bottomless Yorkshire puddings and flowing gravy make the upstairs Sunday experience a particular feature.
Apple and rhubarb crumble with ice cream offers a classic pub finish. The bar pours draught beer and serves wine, inventive cocktails, seasonal spritzes and alcohol free coolers, giving the venue a strong evening identity as well as a food offering. Live sport, group packages and the sheltered garden reinforce its role as a sociable Shoreditch local throughout the week.
