9/7/24 - Updated with opening details
It's no secret that a lot of pubs are closing across the UK at the moment. However, we are seeing some of those snapped up and brought back to life. There's the upcoming The Pig's Ear (once The Chelsea Pig) which is being reopened by the Gladwin brothers, and now a Chiswick pub is being resurrected by JKS, the people behind Gymkhana.
The Crown on Chiswick High Road closed in March, it's now due to reopen under a new name The Hound. It will be the third JKS pub, which they've been developing with publican Dominic Jacobs, after The Cadogan Arms in Chelsea and The George in Fitzrovia.
Once again Kitchen Table's James Knappett is working on the menu, teaming up with Executive Chef John Sparks. They'll be adding snacks like a black pudding scotch egg to the menu as well as dishes new to the group that include:
- Grilled red prawns with chilli & garlic gremolata and focaccia
- Salt cod croquettes with lemon aioli and coriander.
- Highland wagyu hound dog with Ogleshield cheese, sauerkraut, and charcuterie sauce
- Chicken & leek pie with mashed potatoes and buttered greens
- Pea & Ticklemore risotto with mint oil, toasted cashews and lemon
On top of that, their Sunday lunches will include a native rump of beef with bone marrow gravy and horseradish cream. Dishes from the other pubs like the beer-battered fish and chips are also making an appearance at the new pub.
As for new cocktails, they'll include a Beeswax Negroni (Chase elderflower gin, cocchi torino, campari beesou honey aperitif, wax bottle-aged) and they'll even have their own-label wines by the tap (teaming up with Uncharted wines).
