THE PIG-at Bridge Place

Beautiful setting, superb kitchen — but a disappointing billing issue left a bitter aftertaste. We recently visited The Pig for a late afternoon lunch, and at first, the experience was absolutely wonderful. The location is idyllic, the atmosphere calm and inviting, and the service at the bar was warm and professional. Cocktails were outstanding, and we were genuinely impressed by the kindness and attention of the staff. The food was the real highlight — beautifully presented, packed with flavour, and clearly crafted with care. Special praise to the kitchen team: the pork collar and the fish stew were exceptional, and the dessert was the perfect way to finish. Compliments also to the lovely lady at the bar who made us feel right at home. Unfortunately, the overall impression was marred by a significant pricing issue on the bill. We were charged £45 each for the three-course set menu, even though the listed price was £32.50. That’s nearly 40% more, not including the service charge (which we were happy to pay). A quick phone call to the restaurant resolved the overcharge — the refund was processed efficiently, for which we are thankful. However, the fact that the staff member on the phone seemed to immediately know what we were calling about made us wonder: was this an isolated mistake, or a recurring problem? We’re trying to focus on the positives — the amazing food and welcoming atmosphere — but the unpleasant aftertaste of the billing issue is hard to forget. We hope it was just a one-off. Still, big thanks to the kitchen team and to the lady in the bar for their fantastic work. With a little more attention to detail at checkout, the overall experience would have been perfect

What a fantastic looking building and grounds. We felt the lunchtime menu was very limited in choice. Very professional service as you would expect, restaurant staff were casually dressed. Lots of seating areas out side if the weather is kind to you on your visit. There is another eating area at the end of the vegetable plot, catering for pizzas we were informed. The building has an interesting history so worth googling.

Had a family meal here as a going away treat for my brother in law. The location is stunning and I imagine the rooms are very nice and well appointed however we only used the restaurant. For me I thought the restaurant was a little crowded and the seats were a little uncomfortable. The menu was small, but enough for people to choose from. For me the food was very expensive for the portion size, nearly £200 for 3 adults and a child! I have paid less, had more enjoyable meals and left full. I had the pork loin which came with cabbage. It was just a pork loin and a few shards of cabbage. It was very tasty, however it was very small. I’m glad I ordered chips to go with it. I’m also glad that I had the foresight to have a snack before I went. Maybe I just have a big appetite. Not sure I’ll be visiting again anytime soon.

The absolute most beautiful place. In fact, one of my favourite places on earth, literally. The Pig isn't just a restaurant or a bar or a hotel. When you go there, it's for the experience. The surrounding area is so peaceful and green with majestic trees and wildlife. The quality of the products is outstanding, and the fact they produce most of the vegetables on their ground makes it even more appealing. The way it's been decorated, the little nooks here and there, everything about this place is so inviting and perfect for a family gathering. On top of that, the team! Every single member of staffs is welcoming, friendly and professional. You instantly feel at home. We are lucky to have visited the Pig on many occasions, either with friends or with the whole family (even from abroad), and every time it make us want to go back as soon as possible!!

We stayed recently for our “mini-moon” and it was amazing! The staff treated us to some little special surprises which really went above and beyond. We have been to many of the pigs and found the food to be absolutely sublime here. Breakfast, lunch in the garden and dinner were all top drawer and staff were very good with my partners gluten intolerance. The staff all seem quite young and are a credit to themselves and the training they have been given as they were all very good. |Only slight negative was that we both had treatments. My partners was very good and mine was less so. But this could be down to me picking the wrong massage and not talking through what I was after with the team first. I’m in to deep tissue massage and the hot stone was the furthest thing from it. |We stayed in room 20 and it was stunning. Would recommend the hotel for sure. Looking forward to exploring more Pigs. :)

This was a couples mid weekend away leaving the kids and the real life at the door! We loved it, the breakfast spread was sublime, we loved the meal in the evening and nothing was too much trouble the staff were sublime. The garden tour was excellent and we were blessed with amazing weather and cocktails in the kitchen garden!

We had a one night stay in the large comfy luxe room. |Everything was outstanding from the welcome on arrival to quality of food. The room was amazing and spotlessly clean. |All the staff we met engaged positively with us and nothing was too much trouble. |We loved the atmosphere and there were many little quirky areas to sit in and relax or have a drink. |The grounds were beautifully kept. |Yes it is expensive for a one night stay but you get what you pay for. |Would love to visit again.

Went there for wedding anniversary meal. The service was very good, the food was cooked to a high standard and very fresh. Quite an odd menu layout but that may of just been us. My biggest concern was the price. A little over priced for what your getting especially the drinks. The restaurant was nicely done out but seating was not comfortable, perhaps they don't want you to stay to long?!
