The Jugged Hare Barbican

The name of the game at The Jugged Hare is – game. Stuffed with taxidermy all around, this upmarket gastropub in the City is one of London’s leading game restaurants, offering everything from prime beef cuts to squirrel croquettes and other seasonal delicacies from its open kitchen. The titular Jugged Hare, a hare stewed in a jug in a pan of hot water, is a signature speciality dating back to the 18th century. Pre-theatre, lunch, Sunday and bottomless brunch menus are available, and you can complement your meal with one of the independent boutique wines.
