Pig's Ear, Chelsea

You want to visit - You have this in
Operator: Independent
35 Old Church Street, Chelsea, SW3 5BS (View on Google Map)

After a period as the Chelsea Pig followed by a brief closure, this venue reopened in May 2024 under one of its old names, The Pig's Ear. It's operated by the Gladwin brothers who are also behind restaurants like Rabbit in Chelsea and Sussex in Soho. This is their first proper pub and they have said it is "celebrating all that is great about British seasonal produce" but also keeping it as a "proper pub". Seating is bar-stools plus tables and chairs with the drinking area to the left and dining to the right. In this prosperous part of town the clientele is mainly upmarket.

The food offering includes a lunch deal and Sunday roasts and the menu says: "We use all things wild, foraged, and locally grown, including sustainable livestock from the Gladwin's family farm in West Sussex – we call this ‘Local & Wild’."

Further updates welcome.

Historic Interest

The pub dates back to the late 17th century when it was named the Black Lion. Peninsular War hero John Moore "quaffed the unadulterated beverage of malt and hops" here. By 1820 it boasted a bowling green and a tea garden. The present pub was rebuilt in 1892.
