History of The Bull and Last in Highgate with recipes | Hampstead Highgate Express
Illustration of the Bull and Last in 1820 - Credit: Camden Archives "There are a lot of Bulls in the area" says Ollie Pudney chef and co-owner of The Bull & Last. "Even the customers get confused. They come in only to find out they are meant to be at the Bull and Gate or even the Bull and Bush on the other side of the Heath." Legend has it that the pub in Highgate Road got its name from a charismatic coachman careering up the Great North Road, who would shout 'Bull' then 'last' because the inn was the final stop as you left London.
