It has been a while since the last time I visited The Pigs Ear and a summers evening that we found ourselves in the area, was the right opportunity to re-visit and be the first review for my blog. It is not the ideal place for a hot summers evening, as it lacks outside space, but thankfully it was not packed and the high ceilings of the Victorian establishment made the place feel cool. Although it was a relatively quiet evening the people that where in the pub created a lively atmosphere with a really mixed crowd which included Chelsea gents, socialites, builders and a couple of tourists visiting from New York that sat next to us. The interior of the pub retains most of the original features but also has a bit of a 70s vibe with various posters from the era such as Sex Pistols and Michael Caine. It is not too far from the Worlds End where Vivian Westwood set up her first boutique in the 70s, so maybe thats the influence.As soon as we arrived and sat at our table I sent K on a little mission, she was after the loos and thought it was a good opportunity to ask her to take photos of the upstairs dining room as she always does a better job than I do! We ordered the Scotch egg to start, which had a runny yolk and tasted just perfect! The presentation of the starter reminded us of the Sex Pistols but never mind. My main was fish & chips with tartare sauce and mushy peas. It was nicely presented and cooked but the soggy batter and the cold(!) mushy peas let it down a bit. Lets be honest though, fish and chips are best from the local chippy! Ks main was the spatchcock poussin with posh coleslaw, sweet potato fries and mustard sauce. The dish tasted much better than it looked and the plate was spotless not that long after it was brought to the table.There was no room for pudding but there was plenty of room for a couple more drinks whilst enjoying the buzzy atmosphere and watching the world go by as people were coming and going. Since it was a school night we didnt stay too late and made our way home as the sun was setting.We had a really lovely evening but if I were to be uber critical of The Pigs Ear there were some small slippages in relation to the food, but it still delivered great taste and great atmosphere. Ive been coming here for years and I will always come back to The Pigs Ear, whether for drinks or a meal and I will definitely choose it over any chain. Next time I must try the first floor dining room, which must be ideal for a private party as well as dining.
The Pig’s Ear is a lovely pub, located in the heart of Chelsea just off the King’s road. It has an incredibly warm and cosy atmosphere, and the sweet fairy lights indicate that it will be a hit spot at Christmas.Food and drinks are a bit expensive – around 5 for a bottled cider for example. The meals do look very good though, and it would be a nice place to go for a Sunday roast. Staff are very friendly and efficient as well. Definitely worth popping in to warm up from the cold or to take a rest after a shopping workout.
Neither French nor in South Kensington actually….. An easy mistake if you are American..
Ignore the fact it’s owned by a footballer (no names mentioned as I know it’ll put off so many of opposition’s fans) – it’s set above a cosy pub and is not tacky or shiny at all. Best steak tartare in London, great selection of fish, a mean steak bravette, good wine list. If you’re feeling brave and hungry – the pork board has to be tasted to be believed. Quite an incredible scotch egg.
This pub looks bit rustic, which is cool as it is located in Chelsea! It really is welcoming and multifaceted. The bar, with the leather banquettes and wooden tables are user friendly. There is also a dining area and a nice bright kitchen. Lobster bisque, smoked salmon, burgers, tartar bib and ratatouille the main dishes served here,at a quite reasonable price. I hesitated between brownie and panna cotta as they both look good!
Good, busy, noisy, gastropub in Chelsea
We were here recently for a private party and had a really fun night. A nice little pub just down between the Kings Road and the river. Somehow hadn’t been here before, but will be back.
