Owl & Hitchhiker Full Description
A storybook pub mashing up two styles from locally born authors, no two weddings will ever be the same. Douglas Adams’s sci-fi The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy is met with fantastical poet Edward Lear’s Owl & The Pussycat. Thus creating a backdrop for photos and pockets of rooms with different energies. The kitchen is franchised to Get a Munch who boast the most amazing carribean style food, whilst still offering delicious traditional wedding menus. Bespoke wedding menus are available upon request.

Thanks to the staff for looking after us so well!

Visiting from Dublin to celebrate our sons wedding. From the moment you arrive there is such a buzz and a welcoming feeling. We were in the upstairs area which was perfect for the occasion. The staff were excellent and attentive. They worked hard without any issues always with a smile . My Son & His wife while complimenting the staff had great words to say about the young lady that helped them plan this special occasion. She had everything running like clockwork.

A hidden gem!

This hidden gem is the refurbished Irish pub that stood in its place for years. The new owners have transformed this pub into a lovely welcoming modern pub with drinks and great food to match.

Will unquestionably visit again with friends.

A complete change from the past owners, and definitely a positive one. Menu includes options for meat eaters and quirky dishes dishes involving tofu. The interior decor is odd and quirky; and it's great! definitely never visited a pub with this kind of aesthetic before. Will unquestionably visit again with friends.

Amazing day and amazing venue

Been meaning to post a review since my friends Hannah and Peter got married and had their reception at this fantastic pub. Will and his team are amazing to work with and really helped make the day special. Will is very accommodating and made all of our requests possible. The cocktails served were of a really high standard not something you'd expect in a pub and I drank them all so can highly recommend them. 👌The venue has character and doesn't take a lot to decorate and make look extra special.

Thank you!!

I've used the private room upstairs for a 40th birthday night and a kids 5th birthday and it works perfectly for both. Lovely atmosphere, lighting and the room separation means that people can mingle at the bar before moving on to the back room. Sound is amazing (we just used phone connected to Bluetooth) and the atmosphere was great when people started dancing. The staff and management were really helpful the whole way. Thank you!!

Atmosphere was lovely

I booked a space in this pub for my unisex baby shower and it was amazing. Really easy to acquire the booking and only had to pay £100 deposit which i got back after the event. Had about 30 guests and our reseved area was spacious enough for all of us to move around. They have an assortment of games around the pub (pool table, game boy, table football etc) which kept all the guests. The food was really tasty, reasonable priced and everyone enjoyed. We'll definitely be back!

The pub is all sorts of fun.

Came here for the pub quiz on Tuesday. Good bar staff and pretty quick food service. Pints are reasonably priced for London and the food has good sized portions. The Jerky "Poutine" with shredded jerk chicken was solidly delicious and a good portion (maybe a little salty on the jerk gravy). Would recommend the quiz. Good quiz master and a fun time. Decor inside the pub is all sorts of fun.

I will definitely be back!

First time I had been here, booked in for a group of 12 - works really well for group bookings! Lots of different options for areas to sit, and great selection of food and drinks. I also want to shout out Jade and the other girl on the bar who I didn’t catch the name of, really friendly and hospitable and did a really great job serving us. They were holding down a busy open mic night and very full pub just the two of them so credit where credit is due. Excellent work. Thanks a lot 😎👍
