Recently returned for a fantastic lunch at The Pig, in idyllic surrounds. The food was excellent, service exemplary from bar to the table. I had also celebrated a birthday there, yet another wonderful dinner. The herb/vegetable/"secret" garden is great to wander around, viewing the source of what I earlier ate, nothing gets fresher than that. The 25 mile menu is... More

Despite what some other reviewers have written about the staff we found them nothing but dilligent and passionate about their work - even the gardeners gave you a couple of minutes to share their delight. The folks who generated the idea for this style of enterprise really have hit the nail on the head. I could see no corners cut... More

First visit to the pig on a busy Saturday...and overall I was impressed. The location is stunning in the middle of the New Forest, the building more imposing than I'd imagined but with a great ambiance. Was a bit concerned as I was wearing jeans, but as soon as I stepped in it was a relief to find that it... More

Went to the Pig last Easter and despite the terrible weather (rain and cold as if it was middle of the winter), the Pig offers exactly what you would expect: amazing food, great staff, comfortable fireplaces where to enjoy an amazing cocktail, great surroundings, can't miss breakfast, great wine list and overall that feeling of I am home. I strongly... More

First visit was a suprise for my 40th Birthday lunch. 1st impressions were good. Nice Decore. Then it went down hill with the staff. It was all "Hey you guys", and all insincere and just for show, and no substance. I asked a question about something on the menu, and was then patronised and embarrassed infront of my wife. No...

We were coming back from a day out early Saturday evening in The New Forest when I spotted The Pig ! Having read about it in several magazines and papers we decided to pop in for a drink. The grounds, setting and actual hotel are lovely. Inside is friendly and relaxing too. We ordered a small wine and gin and... More

What a great find! We had heard of this hotel before and knew that it was part of the Limewood hotel (which we have not yet been to!) but was not really sure what to expect from The Pig. Upon arriving down a long sweeping drive we were very pleasantly surprised! To be honest we were expecting a pub but... More

It was my first visit to "The Pig" and hopefully not my last. I loved this place, from the interior design to the very delicious and unpretentious food. We stayed in room 17 which was situated off the main courtyard. It was a good size and very clean with a lovely walk-in shower and roll top bath. The bed was... More

Great hotel in beautiful New Forest countryside - the perfect location. Fantastic staff - very welcoming, polite and helpful. Room was amazing - very clean, good facilities and very cosy. Restaurant was incredible too serving up delicious food. An amazing experience. Would definitely visit again :-)
