THE PIG-in the wall

We had the most wonderful stay here, catching up with friends. The Pig is perfectly cozy, delightfully friendly, and has an amazing team. Dinner was sublime, cocktails were fantastic, and the wine was flowing. Breakfast offered something for everyone! Their date balls were the perfect energy boost. Grab a table by the fire and make yourself comfortable; it definitely feels like home!

Lovely stay for one night. Pleasant and clean room. Nice little touches eg homemade local soap. Could not get a coffee at 10 pm (as they had cleaned the machine!) Coffee machine in room had no instructions but did not function fully as not enough water came through. Location was brilliant! Hotel was cosy and quiet. Had to pay £14 for overnight parking which is expensive. Should be complemtary. Cooked breakfast is £20. Had continental breakfast for £10.

This is an amazingly comfy and conveniently located boutique hotel. Staff is friendly and competent. The restaurant has a small but tasty menu. We had one of the "cozy rooms" on the first floor, and it was just the thing. The hotel is located in the medieval part of the city, literally in the old city walls, and there are lots of historical attractions and restaurants in walking distance. It's a reasonable cab ride from the airport and a very short ride to the cruise piers.

** Bar only review ** I'd like to start by saying that I'm a big fan of the Pig in general. The food we had on this visit was lovely although arguable expensive for what it is, however this is something I don't usually mind as it is made up for by the high quality paired with what is normally fantastic service. This visit however was a big let down on that front. The coffee's were just not quite right they tasted as if the coffee had been burnt as it was poured, again something which I wouldn't mind if the service was high quality. Unfortunately our waitress seemed very miserable and rude throughout. Not a single smile, greeting, please or thank you throughout our time there. We had to clear the drinks off the table ourselves to make room for food which was then slammed rather forcefully onto the table. This made any encounter with the staff member feel rather tense and uneasy. I will supplement this with once again saying that 9/10 the pig is a fantastic place to visit, and I'm fully aware and understanding the staff member may just have been having a tough day. However it did none the less leave a bitter taste on my first visit to this particular pig and it makes me cautious to return.

I can't say enough about this lovely property. It was like staying at an old family home. the staff was welcoming and accommodating to our personal needs, giving us a room on ground floor due to use of a wheelchair. Comfy bed, great water pressure and plenty of hot water.|Food is very good and fresh, the baked fish with leek sauce was just delicious. |We left for our cruise the next day, after a huge breakfast, a wide variety of foods to choose from, great coffee, and the nice people that took care of us the night before.|All was very personal feeling, casual and friendly. It is very close to cruise ship terminals.|look forward to coming again

We’ve stayed a couple of times and have loved it. Always a warm welcome, great room and excellent service. The food is very good too.

Had a lovely little break staying and eating at the Pig-in the wall. Would highly recommend staying here close to the shopping, pubs restaurants. Food was fantastic so well worth coming in for a meal on its own. Staff are friendly and professional, excellent experience.

I have stayed in a few of the Pig Hotels and this one did not disappoint. It’s smaller and cosy , more intimate than some but that was a plus because all the staff were so friendly and helpful . The service throughout was faultless .|We had a great and restful night’s sleep thanks to the pre-stay communication. We arrived late and yet we still received a responsive and helpful welcome . The parking is immediately behind the hotel and it’s easy located . The breakfast was classic pig fare and delicious . Coffees were excellent . The chef makes the best Pig Biscuits too !

A good option for lunch, different than other Southampton lunches. A relaxed yet classy setting. Limited menu but good options. Had some pork scratchings while waiting for my friend, they were tasty with ample apple aauce. Shared with my friend a pork roll and toastie. Both were above and beyond the stanrd. Pork roll with large with high quality, not ground pork. The toastie was also two steps above typical fare. Ser ice was both professional and friendly.

The Pig in the Wall is a delight! One of a line of boutique hotels/restaurants in southern England that offer eclectic rooms and menus. The "Pig" in Southampton is literally in the wall- the medieval city walls that protected Southampton's port area from French attacks. The 12 rooms are well appointed and very comfortable. All are unique. Ours was #12, up under the eaves. Ancient timber beams exposed and dormer windows giving a nice view of the cities cruise port on one side and the city rooftops to the other. Water boiler, coffee maker, glasses and fridge. Very good WiFi in the room and lounge. The lounge/ restaurant has a full bar and very nice cocktail, cider, beer, and wine selection. The dinner menu was small, interesting and delicious. The Chef went over my wife's allergy list and "revised " a menu she could order from just for her. Everything we had was excellent. Service was attentive and helpful. The setting was something we all imagined about dining in a countryside British pub.

So cute!!! Very comfy 'home' feeling We popped in here for lunch today based on a friends recommendation. It's like walking into Grandmas house- very comfy and cozy, displayed glassware, and wonderful smells!!! We sat at a window seat so we could people watch, and ordered the goat cheese/croutons as an appetizer, tomato soup and slaw for my lunch and hubs had the 'streaky bacon' which was a wonderfully tender ham steak with apples and roasted veggies. It was all very tasty, I had a glass of wine and hubs had a local beer. 46 pounds total. We love their farm to table meals and we'd definitely be back. Service was friendly and efficient.

First of all, the inside of this restaurant is super cute and cozy! The people working were very friendly and courteous. The food was good. The menu is somewhat limited, but there is something for everyone. Kid friendly, too!

Food was wonderful. Lovely atmosphere. Very friendly waitstaff. Hope to go back soon!

We took an October cruise from Southampton, and had scoured many of the hotel/lodging yelp reviews, as we were able to add a couple of days on the front end. The Pig in the Wall had great reviews, and now we are happy to add ours to those comments! This venue had the B&B feel, but with all of the conveniences of a luxury hotel. The room and bath were very comfortable (excellent shower and water pressure). The food was reasonable to purchase, and definitely all home made! A wonderful coffee and bar selection, too.The staff was efficient and helpful with any transportation needed, as well as directions. We had an easy walk to restaurants, shopping & to the train station. From Southampton, it is easy to take a train, or tour, to many other nearby great cities. We would love to come back to this wonderful place in the future! Thank you!

The Pig in the Wall is quite wonderful. We have experienced the joy that is The Pig nr Bath, so when we were looking for a place to do for my Husband's mid-week birthday, we thought that this would be perfect. We found an excellent deal online, through The Pig's website. I'm pretty sure it was a one night stay with supper and breakfast for something like £180. Absolute bargain. It was tricky to find the parking but we managed (we had to call the hotel whilst parked outside) be we found it. I don't think we were charged for the parking and its gated, so it's nice and secure. The building is stunning, as you would expect from a hotel in The Pig group! The staff were welcoming and perfectly polite. We were shown to our room and we had the usual room tour. There was a roll-top bath in the room and a beautiful shower in the bathroom. Perfect. There was also a Nespresso machine with normal and decaf pods as well as a larder with items that you could buy. We were informed that there was also a half-size bottle of champagne in the fridge that we could enjoy in our room or take to dinner, which was a lovely surprise. As previously mentioned, our package included supper so we booked that for the evening. When we arrived we tucked into some salami and pork crackling, both of which were delicious. The apple sauce was made fresh once we had ordered, and it was beautiful (and warm!). Our supper was very substantial; we had soup and tomato toast for starters, and we both had the sausage roll with garlic cream potatoes for our main course, and desert was stuck toffee pudding and a brownie. Everything was superb. The cocktails were lovely and we took out champagne to brunch and the staff kindly added some syrups to our glasses for us to make champagne cocktails. The sausage rolls were so nice that we took two home to have for dinner the next day (prices at about £13 for two, but tasty). The room was lovely. The bed was extremely comfy and the room was quiet. We borrowed a DVD from reception but we didn't watch it in the end because our TV was dodgy and had a weird yellow tint that we couldn't fix. But that's not really a problem. Breakfast was minimal but lovely. We had some bread and honey, which was all local and tasty. All self serve in a buffet-style. There are no cooked options (but there are boil-your-own eggs). We really did have a lovely time and we are thankful to the staff for making us feel at home. It really did feel like we were family guests rather than in a stiff hotel & that was really nice. Oh and we were allowed a few extra hours the next day for a late checkout, which was fab as it was my Husband's birthday and a lay-in is always a nice treat. Other things to mention: We had robes (but no slippers) The toiletries were lovely (and plentiful) There's a hidden switch on the Nespresso that isn't easy to find, but you'll get there (I heard another guest struggling with this too, so it wasn't just us) There's a hairdryer There are books and magazines in the room

Well - this is a rare and very special place. First and foremost you cannot find a nicer, happier group of people working there, they were lovely. I highly recommend you try this place either to eat, sit and have a drink or stay in one of their 12 well appointed rooms. The food was excellent and as a vegan they were super accommodating. It's a must try when staying in Southampton!

Came here for dinner. Not too many tables to sit and eat. Menu fairly limited. Best thing I ate were some porkrines. Apple sauce tasted homemade and was also very good. The apple pie drink was tasty. The dry salami and sausages were just okay. Nice cozy atmosphere.

The Pig in the Wall was a happy discovery. It has a quaint little dining room as well as a patio with a few tables. The quiches we had for lunch were excellent - tasty and perfect portions. Couldn't resist a cookie and chai latte for dessert. We would come back for dinner if we didn't have other plans!

The perfect place in Southampton for a light snack and a good glass of wine beside the fire. Parking available.

Loved it! was staying at the holiday inn before a cruise & walked over here for some lunch. I got the asparagus & ham quiche it was wonderful!!!! my brother got the flatbread & it was awesome too!
