I'd read about this pub and even recommended it to others to try, on the strength of some of the reviews. But I finally made my first visit this week. The Jolly Butchers is handily located on the High Street in Stoke Newington and is a gastropub with a good selection of cask ales and ciders, as well as a good selection of more unusual keg options such as Brewdog Winter Porter (a bit steep at £4.90 a pint). Ales on were Darkstar American Pale Ale, Redemption Trinity & Fellowship Porter, Ascot Anastasia's Exile Stout, ELB Foundation Bitter & Windsor & Eton Knight of the Garter & Guardsman. There's an obvious focus on local breweries. The real cider was Sandford Orchards Devon Scrumpy, with Broadoak Perry also on handpump. I should also mention that they had a decent bottle range too. The interior is dark and open plan. It was very busy with few if any tables available. Many were eating. I wish I had been here sooner. But I will be back.

Agree with Stokeyblokey - I had a really disappointing Sunday Lunch in here a month or two back. Disappointing because the one I'd had previously (must have been about a year back) and the other meals I've eaten here were great.

Still a great pub, but maybe give the roasts a miss.

Waited over an hour for a very disappointing, luke warm Sunday roast. Ok, the manager tried to make things right by offering me a free drink and a hot replacement for the meal but I doubt I'll bother again. A sad introduction to Sunday roasts for my American friend....

i really like this place....
PLUSES..
*friendly, knowledgeable staff...always happy to give you a taster, and well versed in the products theyre selling....thought the eastern European manager blokey could learn some manners/lighten up/curtail the "marching powder" usage?.......
*lively, buzzing atmosphere
*FANTASTIC food!....seriously...the aberdeen angus burger and chips is a massive plateful, and by far the best burger ive ever had....EVER....fish'n'chips is good too....considering the quality and quantity i would say the prices are very good value
*ever changing , diverse range of ales....especially the porters....so nice to find a real ale pub that does more than just blonde golden lager imitates

MINUSES...
*"hipsters"....ok, i know its hard to escape the vacuous hordes of attrociously dressed "look at me! ive grown a stupid tache! im an artist!" hipster zombies anywhere in East London these days, but this place does seem to have more than its fair share of single speed riding trust fund ******'s.....sigh....still, it provides entertainment, and to be honest theyre more pleasant than the feral dregs who frequented the places previous incarnation..........just worse dressed...
*noise...it gets loud, REALLY loud.....sound just bounces around, shame they cant deaden the acoustics somehow....go early evening or afternoon if you fancy a quiet pint...avoid fri/sat nights

well worth a visit, try the burger....

A great choice of ale and cider. And European beer too! More research required.
