The Bread and Roses is a vibrant independent pub and known live music venue based in the very heart of Clapham Old Town. Run by the Worker Beer Company, part of BWTUC

Opened in 1996 and since 2013 has run a stage at the Bread and Roses at Glastonbury Festival.

We offer a diverse programme of live events every week including live music, comedy and Theatre

The pub is named in recognition of the struggle of workers from around the world for a better quality of life. In 1912 during a strike of women textile workers in Massachusetts, USA, banners were made calling for bread and roses. This came from a poem written by James Oppenheim and has become a trademark song for women trade unionists around the world.

"Our lives shall not be sweated from birth until life closes,
Hearts starve as well as bodies, give us bread but give us roses!"
