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.

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 work primarily with regenerative farms to ensure the food on our guests’ plates is as good and as sustainable as possible.

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 blend

We have teamed up with Sandridge Barton, a sustainable vineyard on the River Dart in South Devon, to create a custom wine, blended exclusively for us. It’s a small project between two teams who care about where things come from, how they’re made, and the impact they leave behind. Sandridge Barton isn’t just a beautiful spot – it’s a working farm with a deep commitment to regenerative growing, biodiversity and low-intervention winemaking. From how they tend the soil to how they bottle (or in this case, don’t), their approach mirrors our own. The idea grew out of conversations between our in-house wine guru, Giles James, and the Sandridge Barton team. Giles worked closely with their winemakers to craft a blend that is light, delicious and moreish. We’re serving it on tap only, cutting packaging waste and lowering our footprint.

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.
