A little bit about us

The Pig’s Head is an independent, farm-to-fork pub in Clapham Old Town. We are a passionate bunch, and our mission is simple; to be the best pub in Clapham and the most sustainable pub in the UK.

We were certified carbon neutral in April 2023 and won Best Sustainable Pub in the Great British Pub Awards on the 17th of September 2024.

We have our own organic kitchen garden in Kent (@pubinafield) and work primarily with regenerative farms to buy whole native-breed animals that we butcher on-site to ensure the food on our guest’s plates is as good and as sustainable as it is possible to get.

Best Sustainable Pub Winner

We are absolutely thrilled to share that we have won the Best Sustainable Pub at the Great British Pub Awards 2024! The competition in our category was incredibly strong, with so many inspiring pubs showcasing their commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. We are honoured to have been recognised alongside such great businesses, all of whom are pushing boundaries to create a greener future for the industry. Winning this award is a testament to the hard work, passion, and dedication of our entire team. Sustainability has always been at the core of what we do, and to have our efforts acknowledged on a national stage means the world to us. We are beyond happy and deeply grateful to everyone who has supported us on this journey. Thank you again for all the love and support!

 

Our own herd of Tamworth pigs

We are proud to be working with Adam Hall on a unique conservation project with a herd of Tamworth pigs. These pigs live semi-wild in an old orchard in the heart of Marden’s woodlands where they feast on acorns, roots and mushrooms. This project challenges the notion that pigs are destructive by showing how they can actually regenerate woodlands. The Tamworth pigs aerate the soil as they root and forage, promoting native plant growth. They are living proof that where pigs roam, regeneration follows—a testament to nature-led stewardship in action. 

Sustainability and our “Pro-planet” pub

We were certified carbon neutral in April 2023 and are proud to belong to a small group of hospitality businesses that can claim this status.

To inspire those interested, we have chosen to share some of our systems and practises in the hope that it may help others on a similar journey.

Through our partnership with Carbon Friendly Dining, to date, our guests have planted:

Design & Refurbishment

We wanted our refurbishment to be as sustainable as possible, so we set ourselves the following targets:

  • Re-use as many of the items on site as possible.
  • Ensure as few things as possible are thrown away.
  • Purchase as many second-hand items as possible.
  • Source all other items responsibly.

Doing Good

We choose not to profit from selling water.

We charge £1.50 per table for bottomless filtered water and give the money to Great Ormond St. Hospital Charity.

To date we have donated more than £21,000.

Energy

Purchasing 100% renewable electricity is the best way a hospitality business can reduce CO2e emissions.
