Naughty Piglets

We are a charcoal grill restaurant, serving small creative plates with a focus on low intervention wines.

We focus on small producers whose wines are a real expression of the terroir its from, with a minimal intervention in the winery.

Naughty Piglets is a husband and wife team , Joe and Margaux Sharratt, surrounded by an amazing bunch of people !

We are only small so do not take groups above 6 people .

Naughty Piglets has a sister restaurant in Victoria, based on the first floor of The Other Palace !

The Other Naughty Piglet, London SW1, restaurant review ...

Admirers of high-concept, paranoia-tinged, head-trippy science fiction are united in their deprecation of Len Wiseman’s 2012 Total ­Recall remake.

Colin Farrell, a fine actor when he finds himself in the right role, which he does about once every 10 years, tries gamely to match his predecessor Arnold Schwarzenegger’s convincing sense of never really knowing what the hell is going on, or whether any of this is even ­really happening – but fails.

The later film’s spectacular visual effects are just so much window-dressing, in no way compensating for its abject failure to do any sort of justice to the original author Philip K Dick’s unique, fractured perspective on the ineffable enigma of the self.

Which brings us to The Other Naughty Piglet, which is a sequel rather than a remake I guess, but I hope in time you will wearily concede that my point stands.

A couple of years ago a Brixton restaurant (Brixton is a sort of Petri dish for new restaurants – not a metaphor that’ll have the Food Standards Agency turning cartwheels, admittedly) by the smackably twee name of Naughty Piglets began winning plaudits for its innovative sharing plates and commitment to natural wines.

The Other Naughty Piglet | St James’s Restaurant If you were wondering what the sixth little piglet did; it’s currently boasting a successful little restaurant serving up seasonal grub and low-intervention wines.

But, if reports are to be believed, it’s a follow-up to Naughty Piglets in Brixton nestled into the renovated St. James Theatre (now called The Other Palace) – a gig husband and wife team, Joe and Margaux Sharratt landed when owner Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber swung by (and was rightly blown away by) their first place.

Together they’ll be collating the same high quality natural and low-intervention wines, and Sharratt’s menu (seasonal small plates in a modern European vein) will be put into action by head chef Joe Knowlden, formerly of The Clove Club.

NOTE: The Other Naughty Piglet is open Monday-Saturday.

It is a lovely new addition to the already buzzing neighbourhood – which lately seems to add new good restaurants every week.

We started with ham croquettes, Devon crab (with peanut, pickled cabbage and yuzu), and then on to Cornish mackerel with gooseberries.

The others were delicious as well, but a bit less memorable.

The two seafood dishes were lovely, not too filling, but clearly interesting preparations of familiar fish.

Although we had hardly enough room even for that, it was a good thing we let ourselves indulge because, after eating that lovely combination, heaven didn’t seem far away.

The Lord Lloyd-Webber, having understandably enjoyed a meal at Naughty Piglets in Brixton, invited the owners — sommelier Margaux (nee Aubry) and her husband chef Joe Sharratt — to take over the restaurant on the first floor of The Other Palace Theatre (formerly St James’s Theatre).

The Other Naughty Piglet with its open kitchen and choice of seating —communally, separately, up at a bar — is reached via a seductive curving marble staircase that seems almost to float you up.

On another evening, deciding not to share, my sister Beth, Reg and I try burrata with anchovy and fried sage leaves, fried to the point of crispness but not darkness, and extraordinarily light croquettes in panko crumbs where Alsace ham and Parmesan cheese piques the béchamel filling.

BBQ pork belly compressed into a neat shape topped with finely shredded lettuce and spring onions served with what seems like Korean gochujang sauce, familiar from Brixton, is a bit stark compared with the other assemblies.

The Other Naughty Piglet, London: restaurant review | Jay Rayner ...

Last year he bought the not long opened St James Theatre in Victoria, and changed its name to the Other Palace (presumably to distinguish it from the Victoria Palace around the corner), announcing it would be a home for new musical theatre looking to find its feet.

London is full of slick restaurant operators, relentlessly cloning themselves, oblivious to the degradation of their culinary DNA that occurs with each new iteration; restaurateurs who can turn out something with all the glamour of a new-build faux Georgian mansion in Godalming.

Sure, there’s an element of nowness to the Other Naughty Piglet: the small plates, the sharing, the gloom and furrowed brow of a natural wine list.

But the kitchen’s skill is displayed best in the least flashy dish: a snowy fillet of brill, thick cut and pert, with a tangle of deep green monk’s beard, cylinders of pink fir potato and a butter sauce of silk and caress.

• Catering company Yellow Door, which runs Native, the restaurant at Belfast’s Mac Theatre, takes its job seriously, championing some of Northern Ireland’s cracking produce.
