Lovely homely pub with plenty of events to keep it exciting and love the iron maiden theme among other quirky decor to differentiate it from a standard pub. Typical range of beers. Simple food menu done really well and at a good price, especially making use of the 20% food discount before 7pm with a drink order. Had the Jotil Ultimate burger and it was tasty, not too oily and held it's shape until the last bite.

I thought it was closed down. But for me it doesn't matter. I wanted to come to Stratford / Maryland to take a couple of pictures in front of the pub. Imagine how I was totally surprised when noticed on Google maps that Cart & Horses was opened. So together with friend came here to see the place where Iron Maiden had first gig ever. Iron Maiden has been in my life for a long time since 80's. I am from Poznan in Poland and I was lucky to see them in my city twice on their World Slavery Tour in 1984 and Somewhere on Tour in 1986. Seen them in really great times for metal. Last time this year in Nottingham. They are great. It was awesome to be here in Cart & Horses and drink good beer.

A must for Iron Maiden fans. Didn’t eat, kitchen was closed while I was there, but there are nice selection of beers and cocktails as well. Thanks to the bartender, Ruth if I remember well, who gave us a lot of info about the place and let us visiting the concert zone. Thanks.

Went here before Iron Maiden played at The O2 which seems like the perfect occasion. Great atmosphere with fellow concert goers. Certainly a must-visit for any Iron Maiden fan. Lots of Maiden themed memorabilia and artwork. Only down side was when I took back the Neck Oil as it had no fizz. The staff were adamant it was fine but I assured them it wasn't. They reluctantly let me have a different beer but not without purposely overfilling it and slamming it down on the counter to cause overflowing for a good 20 seconds. I appreciate it was a busy day for them but this left a slight sour taste.

TANK + LEADER OF DOWN
As TANK are gearing up to return to America for the first time in nearly 40 years, and have an exciting new line up including long time Diamond Head drummer ‘Karl Wilcox’, they decided to have an intimate warm up London show, and what better venue than Cart & Horses ?! Tank was often compared to Motörhead as both bands played a loose, almost punk-styled metal music with often colourful lyrics. Lemmy, of Motörhead, helped them get their first record deal, and "Fast" Eddie Clarke was picked as producer for their debut album, "Filth Hounds of Hades". Expect a CLASSIC TANK setlist!!! And this isn't the only good news, as they decided for join forces with very special guests LEADER OF DOWN, making this show extra special! LEADER OF DOWN: The brainchild of Grammy nominated former Motörhead guitarist Würzel and bass player Tim Atkinson.Leader of Down have a worldwide deal with Los Angeles based label Cleopatra Records and have now recorded the follow up to “Cascade into Chaos” entitled “The Screwtape letters”, which will be released throughout the world on Cleopatra Records. " As Lemmy once shouted from the stage at Hammersmith Odeon, shortly after Würzel and Phil Campbell joined, “ Well, are we back”?, well we can safely say that Würzel is back, we just wish that he was with us for the ride." Get your tickets NOW for this guarantee-to-be-legendary show!!
