Tia and Roxie did an amazing job for my event. Roxie was very kind in speaking with me and making special arrangements for the event! Tia was also very communicative and was so helpful to us on the day as well! We really appreciated all her efforts! We really had a great time hosting my sister’s baby shower. Thank you so much to the Owl and Hithhiker team for making the event so successful!

The staff was amazing couldn’t do anything more to help. On top the food was absolutely top notch every guest was so impressed with the food also the bar staff we have you could not fault them. And communication with Stephen and Will was fantastic would definitely be using the space again and have recommended it to a few people already.

Great venue for a birthday party! Staff were lovely and accommodating. It was great having the smaller private bar area in addition to the larger room for dancing.
No negatives :)

About Owl & Hitchhiker

A doubled-head tribute to two of the locale’s most famous sons, The Owl & Hitchhiker takes Edward Lear and Douglas Adams’ alternative worldviews of science and nonsense and slams them together through an infinite improbability drive.

The result is a lively London boozer where you can ponder the meaning of life, the universe and everything. Check out the hoopy froods at the bar, get outside your own Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster and then feast on mince and quince (menu may vary from quoted 1871 example) delivered via your trusty runcible spoon. Dancing may then follow, by the light of the silvery moon (weather permitting). You get the picture.

There’s a lot of nonsense to explore at this pub at the end of the universe.
