London’s leading premium pub and dining group Urban Pubs & Bars have announced the grand opening of The Red Setter, a modern British pub and kitchen.

Located in the vibrant Northcote Road community between Battersea and Clapham the venue has undergone a £1m refurbishment and building programme and is the latest part of the company’s expansion plans.

The Red Setter team have created a diverse menu that showcases the best of British culinary craftsmanship, offering everything from indulgent brunches to start the day, expertly mixed cocktails to unwind in the evening, and sumptuous roasts every Sunday, ensuring a perfect end to the week.

The Red Setter, a five minute walk from Clapham Junction train station, is the latest gem in the Urban Pubs & Bars collection, a leading leisure group which operates 42 pubs, bars and restaurants across London.

The latest pub has been designed to offer a welcoming atmosphere combined with a selection of fine food and drinks synonymous with the high standards of Urban Pubs & Bars; an ideal spot for casual get-togethers, special celebrations, or simply a relaxing meal out for locals or those just passing through.

Inside you will find a modern British pub and kitchen with spaces for dining and drinks.

The Red Setter pub, which has created more than twenty new jobs, will open its doors for previews on Thursday March 28 followed by a special VIP opening event on April 4.

To celebrate the opening Urban Pubs & Bars are urging owners of Red Setter dogs to join the VIP launch to create a special image of the distinctive dogs standing proudly outside.

Owners of red setters are asked to contact events@urbanpubsandbars.com

As a dog friendly pub and in close proximity to the world famous Battersea Dogs & Cats Home, 50p from every Sunday Roast will be donated to the animal charity.

UP&B Managing Director, Chris Hill, said: “Being here in Northcote Road, Battersea fills us with excitement! We’re counting down the moments until we can open our doors and invite you all to enjoy the exceptional standards that Urban Pubs & Bars is known for.”
