PIG’S EAR 2025 What: Pig’s Ear is the festival of the East London & City branch of CAMRA. The branch uses this to showcase East London breweries and their cask ales. Where: The festival will return to the Round Chapel, 1d Glenarm Road, E5 0LY [at the junction with Lower Clapton Road]. When: Tuesday 2nd to Saturday 6th December.

Assistance dogs only. Beer: We order around 175 casks for the festival but only have space to rack 100 of them at any one time. Once a beer sells out, we replace it with a different beer as soon as that beer is ready to be served. The casks on the right hand end of the bar, marked with letters, are part of the Champion Beer Of Britain competition and will go on sale on the Thursday of the festival. Glasses: We do not have a festival glass this year. We are using old CAMRA stock – please return your glass after use. We cannot offer a glass washing facility but you are welcome to exchange your glass at any time. Payment: Payment over the bar is by contactless card. If you are unable to pay by card then you may purchase a beer card on the glasses stand for cash only. Food: Due to illness Wobbly Bottom are unable to cater the festival. We are pleased to welcome Andhra Ruchulu as our caterers this year. Festival T-Shirt: We have a limited number in various sizes. These are on sale for £13 cash. There is a picture on this page. If you are interested in buying one then please email the branch at: elacbranch@mail.com. You may reserve one and pay for it at the festival. Seating: The limited seating on the ground floor is prioritised for customers with mobility issues. There is plenty of seating upstairs. We cannot put extra seating downstairs as this will decrease the number of people we can safely get in the hall.
