The Little Pig SG Review: it finally happened...
The Little Pig SG Review in “real-life” finally happened a week ago. Funny thing was it was a total surprise to me. No not the intent to write a review – I was there for that, but more the twenty mates and family were squirrelled inside at the same time all waiting to wish me a belated happy birthday: SURPRISE. Totally smashed me. I had literally no idea. My Wifey is now a super-spy!!! How on earth did she keep this from me???
So, how did it go? Has Ade and crew lived up to the hype? Is The Little Pig SG now the Best restaurant in Katong? We’re not here to decide that at Islifearecipe, as each of you will have personal preference and palates and, and – we are just here to share how good it was… and bloody good it was… Have you ever had a bath in gravy on a Sunday? Maybe now is the time…
Voice of the restaurant:
“Bringing the best of British to Singapore with Quality is at the heart of everything we do.
At The Little Pig, homemade food means just that… In our home we hand-cut the chips, mash the potatoes to get them just right, bake our homemade Yorkshire pudding mix and peel the veggies… No frozen nonsense. That’s what Mum and Dad did at the original Little Pig back in the UK in the 70s, and we continue that today.
A range of craft beers will soon join the more mainstream Heineken and Guinness draft, Asahi, Bud and San Migs on ice. As you tell us what you want, we’ll add it to the wine cellar”

The Little Pig SG 'real' Review... yeah, we've eaten here now... The Little Pig SG Sunday Roast
It is like walking into your local back home in England – wherever that is. Just walk in and look around. It is dripping with “home” and the UK, and boy I love that. No more barcodes on the table to order either – no a “Piglet” (the girls choice by the way) will come and take your order. Personal service is back. It’s a proper “pub”. Something that has been missing on the East Coast since our mates RCG took a departure. The gap has finally been filled and filled just so damned well.
The Little Pig SG Menu: Sunday Roast, it goes like this...
The Little Pig SG, Sunday Roast: your choice of Pork, Beef or Chicken – $38
Oh my goodness the roast pork Served with Pig’s in Blanket (aka bacon), Roast Potatoes, Creamy Mash, Garden Peas, Carrots with Free-Flow Yorkshire Puddings and Gravy… Hello beautiful. Some pork crackling to die for, with this most succulent, juicy and umami pork – simply delicious. WOOF!!! Did I mention the free-flow Yorkshire puds and gravy? OMG…
Hello Roast Beef. Ok, one dig, a tad chewy on the beef (sorry Chef)… Served with the AGAIN Pig’s in Blanket – a HUGE pork sausage wrapped in bacon and roasted: woof, Roast Potatoes, Creamy Mash, Garden Peas, Carrots with Free-Flow Yorkshire Puddings and Gravy again. Just keep on ordering those bad boys – a match made in heaven.
Potentially some of the best roast chicken you’ll ever eat. So tender and moist: and it is a big lump believe me. That’s a skill, right there. Super-flavourful and then with that monster Pig in Blanket, delish Roast Potatoes, Mash, Peas, Carrots and those free-flow Yorkshire Puddings and Gravy to literally die for. Best gravy in Singapore – there I am calling it.

The Little Pig SG Review: The Gravy Shot...
Yeah, I am just not convinced the gravy here at The Little Pig SG is any good. I asked Jude Jude to do a taste test for me. I allow you to draw your own conclusions from the two resulting photos of the test… yeah this stuff is an unctuous, umami, heavenly liquid – brown gold in a boat. Get this in your life NOW!!!
The Little Pig SG: free-flow Yorkshire Puddings
Yes, my darling Strawb took a serious liking to these fluffy, crunchy, gooey-chewy bundles of delight – of course with a huge puddle of gravy in the middle. It was like doing a shot of gravy in a Yorkshire Pudding shot glass. BOOMKSI!!!
The Little Pig SG Photos
Here are those photos I was taking before I was so rudely interrupted by my mates for the surprise birthday lunch haha… The interior is narrow and long, with a galley-style kitchen. I am amazed how Aaron and crew are pumping out so much continuous food. Amazing effort.
There’s an outside, and inside outside, and an inside seating area… How cool is that. The inside outside has that bohemoth TV for watch the sport.
Pop in and say hello to Ade, Aaron and the Piglets. I am so confident you will not be disappointed, and that actually you’ll be booking your return before you leave.
The Little Pig SG Chef
Chef Aaron – the man behind the apron and the food. Say hello. Buy him a beer. I guarantee he’ll be sweating his cods off and desperate for something cold and frothy. The legend that is… These two used to work with other before – remember the Night of Antipodean Delights: Celebrating Australia and New Zealand at Winestone?
The Little Pig SG Final Thoughts of Sunday Lunch
Final Thoughts… More like final forkfuls, because I nearly had to be forklifted out in a serious food coma. Do you dream in gravy and see roast potatoes as a spiritual experience? Well then, folks, the Sunday Roast Lunch here is your new happy place. The roast beef was pink and proud, the pork had crackling so crisp it could be heard in Siglap, and the free-flow Yorkshire puddings?
Oh, my darlings. I was popping them like peanuts at a pub quiz (yes, they are doing pub quizzes too…). Fluffy, golden, and generously doused in glossy brown gravy—it felt like being hugged by a Yorkshire grandmother I never had.
There’s a gentle chaos to it all that makes you feel wonderfully at home—plates clinking, roasts arriving like edible freight trains, and The Piglets sprinting about with jugs of gravy like Olympic relay runners. No one judges you for having seconds. Or thirds. Or four separate helpings of spuds (you know who you are on this day…).
It’s not just a meal, it’s a comforting roast-fuelled dream. If you find yourself in Katong on a Sunday and don’t end up here, more fool you and just know you’re missing out on Singapore’s most joyful meat-and-carb marathon. Go hungry. Leave horizontal. BUT – please book so you don’t get disappointed: it is RAMMED!!!

The Little Pig SG Review: Best Food in Katong? We'll soon be finding out...
THE LITTLE PIG SG REVIEW: An Islifearecipe exclusive (of sorts), as our BFF, Adrian Houghton, announced this on Facebook and we’re singing from the rooftops already. This exactly what we need on the East Coast, that certain little thing that has been missing since our mates Rabbit Carrot Gun left us. It is early doors as the place is now a building site, as Adrian and the crew re-factor what was Zaffron Kitchen, you know next door to another Islifearecipe favourite: Griglia.
Zaffron was supposely Michelin rated, but I ate there twice and viewed it as over-rated, over-priced, and quite arrogant in the serving staff. Another massive positive to have that gone and The Little Pig SG coming soon in its place. To say we’re pumped is an under statement, and we commit to visit upon opening and turn The Little Pig SG into a “proper review” with real photos, and our personal experiences of the locale, which might become our new “local”.
Although, I will be complaining to Adrian, as to why he is not opening in Siglap…?
For now we’re using content from our mate Adrian of the concept itself, some GenAI jiggery pokery for the images and our usual creative flare… Bookmark this one, folks, keep watching the updates here and make sure you book a table at the newest and potentally best restaurant in Katong: The Little Pig SG.

The Little Pig SG Menu: what can we expect?
The Little Pig SG Menu: They are called are called The Little Pig SG for a reason…not The Little Vegan. There will likely be a Breakfast menu available Sat & Sun, alongside the a la carte and Sunday Roast menu. Likely they will feature pork products, such as gammon steaks, full English breakfast with bacon and pork sausages and the signature dish the pulled pork sandwich, the soon-to-be-infamous: “TLP Sandwich”.
Special menus will likely be on offer for major sporting events. Guest Chefs might be invited periodically for “pop-ups”, and on weekends it is likely that we will see a BBQ offering from time to time to replace the regular Sunday Roast: I wonder if ChillaxBBQ might get a call up???
I am literally salivating all over my keyboard… Rule Britannia!!!

The Little Pig SG: Full English Breakfast (minus the black pudding, damn you GenAI...)
The Full English Breakfast is basically Britain’s answer to “how much can we fit on one plate?” Think sausages with serious attitude, bacon that’s crisped to perfection (or delightfully floppy if you’re a traditionalist), buttery fried eggs, mushrooms, baked beans, grilled tomatoes, and, if you’re feeling brave, a slab of black pudding from Muir’s Deli. Toast soldiers stand at attention, ready to mop up the glorious chaos, while a steaming mug of builder’s tea, or lager: as I hope it is available all-day, holds the whole affair together.
After demolishing this gut-busting masterpiece, you’ll need to wash it down with a few of The Little Pig SG beverages whilst watching the football. They’ll have this local beverage on tap, that’s called beer. I am intrigued, and can’t wait to try it.

The Little Pig SG: Full English Sunday Roast
Ah, the English Sunday Roast — proof that Brits can conquer the art of patience and gravy in one glorious sitting. Picture this: slabs of roast beef, chicken, or pork that’s been lovingly cooked until it’s so tender even your Nan would nod approvingly, all piled next to crispy roast potatoes that shatter on contact and Yorkshire puddings that rise to the heavens . Drenched in gravy and accessorised with a cheeky blob of horseradish or mint sauce, it’s less a meal and more a national treasure. Make sure you swing past The Little Pig SG when they open, to plan next Sunday’s feast — after all, the best way to recover from a roast is to start planning the next one.

The Little Pig SG is bringing back sport to the East Coast: HALLELUJAH!!! Live Sports Action showing EPL, F1, Rugby, Cricket and all major sporting events such as Wimbledon, Rugby, Football World Cups, Melbourne Cup and so on. Also with a selection of beverage promotions such as beer towers and buckets with a snack menu that is easy to eat and not over engineered. I am loving this concept more and more as I type.
The Little Pig SG Restaurant Menu
Of course, folks, as soon as she opens we will be a visiting and eating and boozing: just for you. Once that takes place we will be gathering and posting The Little Pig SG Menu for you, atop this initial review.
Voice of the Restaurant: The Little Pig SG
“Happy to announce that we took possession of the venue today. Formally was the location of Zaffron at 135 East Coast Rd….Now the hard work starts.
Look forward to some staple British fare on the food menu, fine ales (and mainstream lagers), a wide selection of wine, live sports, quiz nights, hearty breakfasts, Saturday Beer Brunch, Sunday Roast and getting back to basics of having a beer, chat, a nice meal and fun. Give us some time to change….And watch this space 
“
The Little Pig SG Restaurant Review: Final Thoughts
Ah, The Little Pig SG — the kind of place where your morning fry-up will meet your evening pint, and somehow make perfect sense of your day. There’s going to be something so comforting about tucking into a proper Full English Breakfast with sausages that mean business and black pudding that doesn’t shy away, all while eyeing up the blackboard for Sunday’s up and coming roast line-up, or “pop-up” guest Chef. You’ll be mopping up baked bean juice with your toast, already thinking about the infamous pulled pork sandwich (“TLP” sandwich) which you’ll need to return for later.
Now I am expecting some shenannigans in the bar and the kitchen what with all that booze sloshing about… So, a quick ping of having rubber floor mats in kitchens (believe me having poured 4 litres of boiling hot Pho Bo down my leg as I slipped over in Kilo Challenge: I know the pain of slippery…). So please put some rubber floor mats in Little Pig, Ade: both for comfort and safety!!! And, use the mats in other places than just the front door: include the kitchen!!!
Come sundown, The Little Pig SG will morph into your local pub, with big screens showing rugby scrums and football drama, accompanied by the raucous cheer of folks who might’ve “just popped in for one” – even offering Guinness Zero for my BFF Spence. The pulled pork sandwiches will become the stuff of legend, packed so generously you’ll likely need both hands and a napkin the size of a bath towel. And when Sunday rolls around? Forget cooking — the roast here will be the dogs, complete with crispy spuds and Yorkshire puds you could use as a sun hat, will make you wonder why you ever bother again with your own oven.
You’ll be coming here for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and like me maybe just a cheeky pint (or ten) to watch the match. The Little Pig SG will charm you, fill you up, and probably convince you to stay longer than you intended. Bring it on Adrian and crew: Cheers to that!!!
