A handsome mid-1800s gastropub in Angel with its own in-house butchery, smokehouse and a daily-changing British menu. The Sunday roast destination before an Arsenal walk-up.
The spot
The Pig and Butcher is a sit-down food spot, not a pre-match pint stop. The kitchen breaks down whole animals on site and the menu changes daily. The Sunday roasts are the headline and the room fills up fast, so book.
Best moment to visit
Heads up: walk-in is rarely an option on matchday Sundays. Book the table before you book anything else.

Who is it for?
Arrive at The Pig and Butcher
Take your booked table on Liverpool Road and order the first round.
Long Sunday lunch
Roast, sides, a glass of wine. No screens, no rush.
Walk to the Emirates
Head north up Liverpool Road, around 20 to 25 minutes on foot to N7 7AJ.
Kick-off
In your seat at the Emirates, fed and watered.
Local tip 🇬🇧
Nearest station to the pub is Angel on the Northern line. On matchdays you can also take the Victoria line to Highbury and Islington, then walk roughly 10 minutes to the ground.
The right call when you want to eat properly before an Arsenal home game. Book the table, then plan the kick-off around it.
