What do you Want out of The Flying Pig Pub???

Yep - bermygirl is right - you either do it really well like Bodeans/HotBox/(insert BBQ joint of choice) or do something totally different. A burger is dull, predictable and just isn't a USP - Deliveroo now has 8 burger options within 5 mins of SE22. By all means stick it on the menu but put some more different stuff alongside it.


As it happens I quite like the Pig how it is. I like a drink at the bar there, good location, staff are always friendly, it shows sport when I need it to but not when I don't. All it really needs is to do one food thing well...as well as say, The Gowlett does pizzas...and it's a solid all rounder.


For constant Sky sports I'd go to a Weatherspoons...

Hello. I went to the Flying Pig the other day for the pulled pork and it wasn't on the menu any more. We had a burger which was fine, but not nearly as good as the food used to be. For me, if it's not a barbecue pub, it's just another pub. I like the big selection of beers, but the food was your distinctive thing, and now that's gone.

Great post, if not 'winging' it somewhat


How about square pizzas, or novelty hot dogs, or Asian/German Fusion


Or....anything but 'Burgers' and more farkin Burgers

Why not franchise your kitchen out to some Bbq supremo hipster kid who only has a street food stall and is just waiting for a concession somewhere that fits with the Bbq ethos. As seen at the Nuns head (burger bear) and when Scott did it pre Meat Liqour at the Rye.it works.


And Korean Fried Chicken. Perhaps become the best chicken joint in SE22.

This is an excellent idea. Perhaps a few months for each concession.

Yes that would be great, but how likely is that in reality?

You need the right gear - i.e. smokers. Do they actually have these in the flying pig kitchen? I was under the impression they had a Josper (charcoal oven) which is rather a different beast.

I can't think of anything the Flying Pig does better than other local options, meaning I have little reason to go, but the food is certainly worse ? and not good for US barbecue in its own right quite aside from local comparisons. If this type of food was really done well then it would certainly be a draw for me.

Beer selection?


it certainly was the last time I went in. Nowhere else came close.

They did have a fast Eddy cabinet smoker there. Its by far the easiest one to use on the market.


Just needs someone to have the will and the support of the owners


And there maybe lies the rub

Wonder if they still have it? They seemed to abandon the bbq concept before it ever really got going, and the offering had been reduced to ribs and pulled pork..

Not any burgers, but dirty burgers, as opposed to clean ones? yes, boring.

      Londis isnt a take away or fast food outlet. Its simply another convenience store.

      Excellent New Local Plumber

      By MariaSE22 · Posted

      Greg came out at last minute notice to address a leak at the flat. He stayed for 90 mins to try and fix it but turned out it was a communal pipe. He was quick to write a report so we could get Southwark onto it. Great plumber, would recommend highly.

      Where to take a 9 year old during summer holiday.

      By Pugwash · Posted

      My daughter, a single parent, has been let down by her children's' father, who was supposed to have them for part of the school holidays, So we are helping out. Our grand daughter aged 11 is no problem, but 9year old is more difficult to please. Has an interest in computers and coding, does not like crowds (neurodiverse)  Is keen n how things work and enjoys taking things apart. He is already going to the transport museum and has been to the science museum  Husband and I have some mobility problems so nothing too strenuous. have done Horniman's a number of times.  Is there any local holiday schemes where we can enrol him in for 2/3 days. There seems to be a number relating to singing/dancing and drama but nothing science/maths based. He does not have an interest in sport at the moment. Grand children live in Sussex and will be attending Holiday Clubs for a couple of weeks

      Who to call to dispose of a dead fox please?

      By Peckhampam · Posted

      When I had a dead fox in my garden the council told me to put it in my wheelie bin, the green one.  I warned the dust bin men when they came that it was in there.They said they get worse than foxes put it!  Dead bodies!?  In the heat it might be better to bag it up first. Pam
