About The Jolly Butchers
One of the earliest London pubs to build itself around a serious craft beer list, opened around 2010 by the same independent operators behind Brixton’s Crown & Anchor.
The Jolly Butchers opened around 2010, early enough to count as one of the genuine pioneers of London’s craft-beer-pub wave, and it has kept faith with that identity for over fifteen years since. The same small independent operation also runs the Crown & Anchor in Brixton. A pavement beer garden and an Indian-leaning kitchen round out a list of UK breweries chosen with more care than most.
