Facts and practical information

The Hare and Billet is a public house located in Blackheath, London, overlooking parts of Greenwich Park. In the 18th century, the Hare and Billet was a coaching inn. The pub is now part of the Metropolitan Pub Company. The pub received media coverage in 2014 after a south London MP made a speech in the House of Commons claiming a condiment they served was a "parasitic copy" of another brand of Worcester Sauce, leading to a backlash that was nicknamed "Hendogate".
