Venturing down the Kings Road, I stumbled across Old Church Street. I had heard from friends that there is a great pub on this street called The Pigs Ear and I was determined to explore it.
Upon entering this pub, I could see straight away it had lots of appeal. The appeal lies partly in the characterful yet sympathetic decor - turquoise panelled walls, high red ceilings, beautiful mirrors and old movie posters, which lends the place a relaxed, bohemian air. But the main stand out point is the food in this place.
I decided to try the bar menu on this trip and was delighted with the wonderful Irish Rock Oysters that they served with a red onion pickle and soda bread. For the main course I always have a weak spot for the steak tartare which came served with perfect French fries and one of the best garlic mayonnaise I have ever tasted.
The Pigs Ear even serve their own ale (The Pig’s Ear ale) from the Uley Brewery in Gloucestershire and have a very impressive wine list to add. I was so impressed with this pub that is has become a regular of mine and I even heard that his pub is often frequented by Kate Middleton who is supposed to be living nearby.
I am proud to have the same ‘regular’ as Ms Middleton and when I had my birthday dinner in the smaller dining room upstairs, she was having drinks with friends downstairs confirming the rumours that she does frequent this establishment.
