The Roebuck, one of the 80+ independent pubs that are part of the CityStack London Pub Collection. 👀
First licensed in 1704 as the Bull’s Head, this establishment has welcomed theatregoers, local residents, and Covent Garden workers for centuries. Over the years, the pub bore the name Freemasons Arms and passed through various owners, including chains such as Sam Smith, Greene King, and Shepherd Neame, before finally returning to independent hands in 2025, as it should!
To honour the pub’s original identity and celebrate its independent spirit, the new owners chose to call it ‘the Bull and Egret’, making it the only pub in the country to bear this name, a rare exception among the many reused pub titles.
Expect a boozer that combines elegance with cosiness, featuring a majestic dark wooden bar, cosy sofas filled with cushions, and ochre-toned panels. The whole effect sets a warm atmosphere where time simply slips away. At the Bull and Egret, taste buds are treated to classic hearty pub dishes such as hot pies, fish and chips, and burgers, accompanied by a carefully selected range of cask ales.
