Cat & Mutton: Pub in Hackney, London

The nights at Cat & Mutton in E8 work on a simple idea: participation. Quiz nights, themed parties, open deck sessions where you pick the music. It's not about watching something happen. It's about being part of it. Coming to compete in a quiz, to DJ at an open deck night, or just to gather and celebrate, you're part of how the night works. That's the whole idea: the best nights are ones where people are involved, not passive. You're contributing something, even if it's just your presence and attention. The programming reflects that consistently across everything they put on.
