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.

GIVEMEYOURTEETH + SAINT LORE + PROFESSIONAL 101
On Friday 30th January 2026, Cart & Horses hosts three rising UK acts known for pushing their genres into new territory. AVD and Triple Six Promotion Proudly Presents: Give Me Your Teeth perform with a volatility that’s become their trademark — shifting from shapeshifting, post-hardcore weight into ghostly melodic passages. Crowd reviews often mention the “all-or-nothing” intensity of their sets and the way their songs feel like they’re permanently teetering between collapse and catharsis. Saint Lore, built around the unmistakable vocals of Sinead Bales, weave atmospheric alt-indie with sharp lyricism and rich, layered instrumentation from Ellie Luna Shore, George West, and Gareth Sloman — all active across multiple London music projects. Their live shows balance elegance and edge, with arrangements that expand far beyond the typical indie template. Professional 101 are a feral, fearless force in modern rock, rewriting what it means to be a live band in 2025. Their shows are chaotic, immersive experiences, blending jagged riffs, biting social commentary, and theatrical spectacle. With a monthly London headline series that has become a word-of-mouth phenomenon, they turn every performance into a collaborative, audience-driven event. Raw, inventive, and unapologetically alive, their music pushes forward with urgency while their debut album, This Is The Sound, channels the energy of the crowd directly into the studio. This is rock music that refuses to look backward—powerful, magnetic, and impossible to ignore. DJ's / AFTER PARTY TILL LATE!!! £12 ADV via Universe — don’t sleep on this one‼️ Tix: https://www.universe.com/events/give-me-your-teeth-saint-lore-professional-101-tickets-RH6DKS ➡️ Then choose the band you're coming to see 🤘

MOTLEY CRUDE - The Dirt Tour 2026
“THE DIRT TOUR 2026” The world’s most authentic Mötley Crüe tribute show goes international – and they're the Crüe you deserve. Brace yourself: the decadence of the Sunset Strip is headed your way with a soundtrack to boot thanks to four hellraisers named Nikki, Vince, Mick & Tommy. After 10 years together on the road and during the band's anniversary tour “Decade of Decadence”, Mötley Crüde’s popularity soared to new heights, drawing over 3.5 million visitors across social media and amassing a devoted international following. Now, in 2026, Mötley Crüde is set to embark on their most ambitious journey yet — "The Dirt Tour" — a high-octane celebration of Mötley Crüe’s legendary 80s era which takes their show across the entire UK, into parts of Europe, and for the first time ever, down under to Australia. The Dirt Tour promises to be a spectacle of lüde, crüde & rüde anarchy, and what fans are calling a stadium show in the clubs and the most faithful Mötley Crüe experience on Earth. “They’re not a tribute – they are Mötley Crüe in their prime.” - Kerrang. Voted “The World’s Most Authentic Mötley Crüe Tribute” by the official Mötley Crüe Global Fanclub, these lifelong Crüeheads have been tearing through the tribute scene with an explosive and unrivaled live show, explicit attention to detail, note-for-note accuracy, vintage era gear/costumes and a sound that captures the raw energy of the Crüe’s wildest years (Shout at the Devil, Theatre of Pain, Girls, Girls, Girls, and Dr. Feelgood). Mötley Crüde has raised the bar worldwide for not only Mötley tribute shows, but tribute shows in general. They’re not pretending. They’re possessed. In 2023, the band became the first tribute act in history to sell out the iconic London based venue 'The Underworld' in Camden on presales alone, equalling that of the real Mötley Crüe who sold out the same venue just 6 months prior in a secret show under the name Dögs Öf War. “Anyone can dress up like the members of Mötley Crüe but going all out and perfecting the mannerisms of how Nikki, Vince, Mick & Tommy talk, act and perform live goes to show that it’s the little things that separate the great from the good.” - Bloodstock Open Air. Fans should prepare for a 2-hour, no-holds-barred assault of Crüe hits, fan favourites and those long desired deep cuts, delivered with the same fire that lit up the Whisky A Go Go in ‘81. Mötley Crüde isn’t just a tribute — they’re a resurrection of rock’s most notorious decade. Whether you're a longtime Crüehead or discovering the madness for the first time, this is the closest you’ll get to the real thing, delivered by the realest Mötley Crüe experience on the planet.

TRESPASS + KAINE
Get ready for a heavy night at the legendary Cart & Horses on Friday the 13th of March 2026 ! TRESPASS bring their classic NWOBHM power, joined by KAINE delivering high-energy, modern metal intensity. A must-see double bill for fans of true British metal. Don’t miss it!Formed in Sudbury, Suffolk in 1979 by Mark and Paul Sutcliffe, Trespass are cult heroes of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. They made their mark with early singles like “One of These Days” and “Stormchild”, even earning the respect of Metallica’s Lars Ulrich and James Hetfield. After disbanding in the early ’80s, the band reformed in the ’90s and then again more permanently in 2015, releasing new albums including Footprints in the Rock (2018) and Wolf at the Door (2023), while staying true to their signature twin-guitar NWOBHM sound. Critics and fans alike praise their melodic yet powerful style, staying rooted in classic metal while bringing emotional depth and lyrical meaning. Born in East Anglia back in 2009, KAINE have been carrying the flame of classic heavy metal into the 21st century. Their sound draws straight from the legends — think razor-sharp riffs and galloping rhythms inspired by the founders of heavy metal and early thrash: Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden — with a modern edge that refuses to stay retro! Over more than a decade and a half, they’ve released five studio albums, from Falling Through Freedom (2012) to their 2022 record After Extinction. Their latest release even broke into the UK official charts — no small feat for a self-released, independent outfit.

Brave New World III - HeKz, Primitai & Dylan Gers
HeKz will return to the iconic Cart & Horses on Friday 29 May 2026 to headline Brave New World III, a special night that will also serve as the London launch show for the band’s fifth studio album. A venue steeped in rock history and revered as the birthplace of Iron Maiden, Cart & Horses provides the perfect setting for what promises to be a landmark evening in the HeKz story. Brave New World III continues the band’s ongoing event series dedicated to adventurous, forward-thinking music, uniting fans of rock, metal, and progressive music under one roof. Fresh from completing their most ambitious record to date, HeKz will debut new material live alongside powerful selections from their back catalogue, delivering the immersive, high-energy performance that has become their trademark. Known for their fusion of muscular riffs, intricate arrangements, soaring melodies, and cinematic dynamics, HeKz have built a reputation as one of the UK’s most compelling progressive metal acts. Support on the night comes from London metalsmiths Primitai, whose relentless heavy metal assault and commanding live presence have made them a force on the UK scene, and Dylan Gers, the rising singer-songwriter bringing a dynamic and emotive counterpoint to the evening’s sonic journey. “Brave New World has always been about pushing boundaries and creating nights that feel special,” says HeKz frontman Matt Young. “Launching the new album at Cart & Horses, alongside artists we respect and an audience that embraces adventurous music, feels like the perfect way to introduce this next chapter of HeKz.” With a growing reputation for curated, high-quality live events, Brave New World III promises to be a celebration of creativity, progression, and the power of live music.
