Old Doctor Butler’s Head is a historic pub and restaurant at 2 Masons Avenue in Moorgate. Established in 1610, with the present building dating from just after the Great Fire of London, it occupies an atmospheric alleyway setting that feels distinct from the surrounding City streets.
The kitchen serves traditional pub classics alongside more refined seasonal dishes. Food is available in the bar as well as the first floor restaurant, so guests can choose between a casual plate with a drink and a more settled lunch or dinner at a reserved table.
Seasonal produce guides the food offering, with hearty British cooking at the centre of the menu. The combination of familiar pub fare and restaurant style dishes suits both a quick weekday meal and a longer gathering, while buffet options can support private functions and celebrations.
Cask ales are a particular focus, joined by international lagers, wines and cocktails. City workers, sports viewers and visitors exploring nearby landmarks all use the pub, and its weekday food service makes it especially well placed for lunch, after work dining and small group occasions.
