In a social media post shared on Monday, July 15th, the team at Pigsty announced that their Gloucester Road restaurant would close on the very same day.
The restaurant at 79-81 Gloucester Road has been open for just over a year, a year and a half after the first Pigsty premises at CARGO at Wapping Wharf opened (you can read our review here).
In a post shared on Facebook, the team stated,
“We’re sad to say that we will be closing Pigsty Gloucester Road on Monday 15th July. We’ve had a brilliant year here, but with so much growth in other parts of our business (our Jolly Hog products and concessions) it feels right to put our focus and energy in to those. Pigsty Cargo will be staying open and thriving down at Wapping Wharf and we hope to see you there soon.”
It’s news that has upset a number of Gloucester Road diners, who are already lamenting the loss of Pigsty’s Sunday roasts (available only at their Gloucester Road restaurant). It’s sad, but I’m glad that their Wapping Wharf restaurant remains open – and it’s great to hear that the team are doing so well with their other ventures.
