The Pig’s Head is an independent pub and restaurant at 87 Rectory Grove in Clapham Old Town, built around a farm to table approach and measurable environmental responsibility. The team works primarily with regenerative farms and small independent suppliers, placing provenance at the centre of both the daily menu and the pub’s wider operations. Its relaxed dining room welcomes casual drinks, complete dinners and long Sunday lunches.
A daily changing menu allows the kitchen to respond closely to the best produce available. Homemade sourdough focaccia, marinated olives and seasonal hummus introduce the meal, while pig’s head croquettes express the pub’s commitment to using ingredients carefully. Starters can move from fried chicken or beef tartare to line caught fish and vegetable dishes, keeping the choice balanced across meat, seafood and plants.
Larger plates follow the same seasonal logic, combining responsibly sourced meat and fish with British vegetables, grains and sauces made in house. The kitchen makes full use of each animal and adapts garnishes as farm produce changes through the year. Vegetarian and vegan dishes receive comparable attention, rather than appearing as simple substitutes, and the concise format encourages the chefs to keep every plate purposeful.
Sunday roasts bring together beef, pork, chicken or a vegetable centrepiece with roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables, Yorkshire pudding and gravy. Cask beer, independent brews, cocktails and a considered wine list support the food, with attention given to responsible producers and lower waste. Proceeds from filtered table water go to charity, reinforcing a practical sustainability programme that also covers composting, packaging, recycling and the supply chain.
