OUR LABEL
Our label features the beloved and iconic Catford Cat.
It was designed by architects Owen Luder and Rodney Gordon (the pair also designed the Michael Faraday Memorial in Elephant & Castle - the big silver box in the middle of the roundabout).
It was erected in 1974 as part of the Council’s plan to make Catford a shopping, cultural and leisure destination.
It’s made up of three pieces - the body, the head and the paw and sits on two big beams which counterbalance each other - one at the front and one at the back.
It was last given a lick of paint in 2019 where there was a suggestion to repaint it ginger, which was immediately dismissed.
COCKTAIL OF THE MONTH
HOUSE OF ELMWOOD
Our House of Elmwood is a cocktail for those who love marmalade, gin and Catford!
It gets its name after the Elmwood - a former farmhouse in the heart of Catford. Built in 1736 by Nelgarde Dogget, who gave his name to two roads in Catford, it’s the oldest building in SE6 and now forms part of the pub formally known as the Catford Constitutional Club, which is currently being renovated.
Ingredients:
- 50ml Catford Gin
- 15ml Cointreau
- 15ml fresh lemon juice
- 15ml Seville orange marmalade
Method:
- Chill the martini glass in the freezer for at least 20 minutes before beginning
- Pour all of the ingredients into a shaker and stir briefly to dissolve the marmalade
- Add ice cubes, shake vigorously and strain into the chilled martini glass
- Drink immediately, then make another!
Catford and proud
We are Catford and proud!
We've lived locally for 20 years and love this part of south east London we call home. What started off as a joke down the pub (catnip in a Catford gin) has become a reality.
We love Catford and we love our multi award-winning gin.
We hope you will too!
