About Pig's Ear
Upmarket gastropub dishing up brasserie-style bar food, with an oak-panelled upstairs dining room.
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.

My sister and I chose this gorgeous little pub for lunch and we weren't disappointed. The service was attentive and knowledgeable, the atmosphere was relaxed and comfortable and the food was sublime. The mushroom eclair and beef croquettes are a must have. The other starters were fresh, tasty and original and the main - a large pork chop to share, was cooked perfectly. The sparkling wine from their own vineyard was delicate and delicious and a brilliant start to the meal. Thank you to Ollie for looking after us so well.

Wonderful meal at The Pig’s Ear! Perfect Sunday roast (the chicken is divine) with all the trimmings. Attentive service from all the staff and especially Hayley who led us through the whole menu and helped with wine selection to accompany our meal. Fantastic

Such a lovely cosy gastro pub. The the guys who work there are fantastic not only knowledgeable but very friendly too. Food is seasonal so the menu always changes and it’s all delicious. We have wine, rhubarb mocktail , oysters, steak tartare, violet devilled eggs, hipsi cabbage, sardine, Hake all to share. It was a great experience thank you

Wonderful dinner at the newly reopened Pig’s Ear which is now owned by the Gladwin Bros (behind Rabbit / The Shed). Delicious food, reasonably priced wine, lovely decor and service. A must if you’re looking for a new pub in Chelsea

Had the best time here with my Husband. Visiting from Fort Worth, Texas. Hayley was our server and she did a phenomenal job! She was very attentive and super friendly. Will definitely come back if we have the chance!
