Returned here for the first time in a long time with the promise of four hand pumps. There were four with one dispensing cider and another with the clip turned. The two remaining both went down very well with our group.

Third stop on the way to Twickenham. Disappointed only 1 ale available as per last year, think we may strike this one off the listed pubs on our route next year as their are plenty of other pubs with a great selection of ale in the locality.

The pub is found in Richmond, Greater London, TW9 1SX.

In Hill Street, one of the founding members spent a lot of time working in Belgium, It was the range of beers available in Belgium that inspired him to open up a Belgian influenced bistro in Richmond. As the craft beer movement took off in the UK, it was felt it was only right to showcase the new beers that were available on the doorstep, alongside some Belgian classics and other excellent brews from across the Globe. With this in mind "Pig's Ears Beer Cellar" was born. A tardis of a venue, with a capacity of around 100 covers, the Beer Cellar acts as a perfect showcase for the beers and the breweries, the beers are in great condition, the food is tasty and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. Closed August 2022 after flooding. Re-opened 2023. Renamed in 2024.

We have visited this pub 3 times, seen 4 different beers and tried 3 of them.
