English pub From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Two Puddings was a pub on Stratford Broadway in Stratford, east London, and a live music venue.
In the 1940s and 1950s it became known as the Butcher's Shop because of its reputation for fighting and spilt blood.[1][2]
From 1962 until the pub closed in 2000, the landlord was Eddie Johnson, father of Matt Johnson, lead vocalist of The The.[3]
Performers included The Who, the Small Faces, Screaming Lord Sutch and David Essex, who played his first gig there.[2]
On the first floor was the Devil's Kitchen which is believed to be one of the first discos in the UK.[2]
Eddie Johnson retired to Long Melford, Suffolk, and died in June 2018, aged 86.[4]
