Camden Market's 'first pub' to close

The Farrier opened during the pandemic in London’s Camden Market, claiming to be the venue’s “first pub”.

After three years of trading, the owners have made the decision to close its doors in a big to “seek new locations” for future neighbourhood sites with a focus on “attracting a more local audience” as opposed to the “tourist-heavy and seasonal” trade at its current location.

The Farrier's final service will be on Sunday 3 November and it will continue to run its usual Monday to Saturday lunch and dinner services until then. 

Incredibly proud 

Co-owner of the Farrier George Hartshorn said: “We're incredibly proud of what the team has achieved with the Farrier, especially launching during the challenges of the pandemic and becoming a valued part of Camden's vibrant tapestry.

“While it’s bitter-sweet to close this chapter, we’re excited to rebuild and bring our hospitality offering to new neighbourhoods across London.”

To mark its final month, the Farrier has said it will be plating up “London’s largest Sunday roast menu”.

Available from Sunday 6 October until the Farrier closes its doors for the last time in November, the pub’s new Sunday roast menu will feature 10 different roast options.

Changing offer

Under the direction of head chef Jake Perry, the menu will feature nine different meat, game and poultry options, including beef, rabbit, duck and lamb, as well as a plant based smoked beetroot and walnut wellington. The Farrier's “signature” Sunday roast cocktail has also been upgraded to a smoked tomato bloody Mary. 

A weekly changing offer, titled 'Game Bird of the Week’,​ will also be available with pigeon, partridge, pheasant, mallard, snipe, grouse, guinea fowl on the menu, as well as Rare Breed Meat of the Week​.

Each roast will be accompanied by Guinness gravy, Yorkshire pudding, and a full range of seasonal trimmings, including torched hispi cabbage, orange and honey Hasselback carrots, lovage purée, and garlic and rosemary bone marrow potatoes.
