Food, drink, live sport and a private bar above the bar
A pub that has fed and watered this part of London continuously since 1812 does not need to explain itself at length. Two changing cask ales. Stone-baked pizzas every day. A full cocktail menu. Live sport on multiple screens. A function room upstairs for 50, with its own bar and a dartboard that tends to come out more often than planned.
Pub classics near Liverpool Street
Three things this pub takes seriously: the food, the drink and the sport. The kitchen turns out honest pub food six days a week, the bar pours everything from a well-kept Guinness to a proper cocktail, and the big screens come alive whenever there is a game worth watching. Pull up a stool, this place is built for the evening to run long.

Our day menu is live from noon and the night menu from 9pm, Monday to Saturday, with stone-baked pizzas available every day. The kitchen covers everything from British pub classics to the perfect lunchtime sandwiches with vegetarian and vegan options across the board. Bottles of Moët, Ruinart Champagne and a spirits range that runs from gin to tequila are ready for those nights.
On our screens from the group stage to the final
The World Cup runs from June through to the final in July, and we are screening every fixture live. The projector and multiple HD screens mean you will see every moment of it, the group stage deciders, the last-sixteen knockouts, the quarter-finals, and the final itself. Expect a full room and the kind of atmosphere this corner has been generating since long before any of us were here. Get a drink in, find a good spot, and don’t make plans for July.

We show every fixture from the sports we cover — Premier League, Champions League, Europa League, FA Cup, major darts, and cricket — live as they happen. The fixture widget above is updated regularly with what is coming up. If you cannot find what you are looking for, drop us a message and we will check for you.
Walk-ins are always welcome at The Flying Horse. For daytime weekday visits and quieter periods you will generally find a table without any trouble. During major fixtures or events the pub fills up, so a booking is worth making if you want to be certain of a seat. Reserve online or give us a call.
No. You can order from the full menu on the day, at your table. Pre-ordering is available for groups and private hire bookings, where it helps us make sure everything arrives together and on time. If you are coming as a larger party and want to take that option, get in touch when you book and we will send you the pre-order menu.
Yes, and we ask only that you give us as much notice as you can. A table released early is a table someone else can use. Cancel or amend through the link in your booking confirmation email, or call us directly. Private hire bookings are subject to the cancellation terms in your agreement — check those if you are unsure.
For table bookings, general enquiries, and anything on the day, call the pub directly on the number above. For private hire enquiries, the events team is the right first contact — reach them at party@bedsandbars.com. We are open Monday to Saturday from 11am and Sunday from noon, and someone will always pick up during opening hours.
The World Cup runs from June through to the final in July, and we are screening every fixture live. The projector and multiple HD screens mean you will see every moment of it, the group stage deciders, the last-sixteen knockouts, the quarter-finals, and the final itself. This is a pub that has been on this corner since 1812 and has watched more than its share of the world change from the same room. It will not be missing this one.
Happy Hour runs Monday to Friday from 4pm to 7pm. That is three hours every weekday when 2-for-1 cocktails, 2-for-1 G&Ts, and 2-for-1 Coronas are on, alongside £3.80 real ale, £24 prosecco bottles, and £5 cocktails. The after-work crowd near Liverpool Street and Moorgate has known about this for a while. Now you do too. Pull up a stool from 4pm.
On Mondays, every cocktail on the menu is £5 all day. Not from 4pm. All day. The full cocktail menu, at £5 a drink, from the moment the pub opens until close. It is the kind of offer that makes Monday the easiest decision of the week. The kitchen runs alongside it with 2-for-1 small plates. Five minutes from Liverpool Street, four from Moorgate.
From the first whistle in July to the final Autumn Nations fixture in November, catch the Nations Championship at The Flying Horse!
The World Rugby Nations Cup is a new international rugby tournament that will be staged biennially, beginning in 2026, ensuring it does not take place during the Men’s Rugby World Cup or British and Irish Lions tour years.
Running alongside the Nations Championship 2026, the competition will feature 12 unions from six continents.
These teams will be split into two geographically aligned pools of six, with each team playing every union in the opposite pool.
The tournament will be played across two windows, with each team playing three matches in July and three in November and the results contributing to a final standings table.
At the conclusion of the November fixtures, the top-ranked team in each pool will be crowned Nations Cup champions.

Thursdays at The Flying Horse mean live music from 8.30pm, and a bar that is set up for an evening that earns its length. The kitchen runs until 9pm with British pub classics and stone-baked pizza. In a single-room pub on the corner of Wilson Street since 1812, the sound carries well. Well enough that by 9pm the corner outside has its own crowd. Four minutes from Moorgate, five from Liverpool Street.
Fridays at The Flying Horse mean karaoke from 8.30pm, and a room full of people who have already decided tonight is going to be a good one. The bar runs a full cocktail menu and Guinness on draught. The only thing left to settle is the song. Five minutes from Liverpool Street, four from Moorgate.
