The Pig

Booked as a special occasion and it didn't disappoint. Presented with a complementary bottle of Fizz in the room. The bed was so comfortable and huge being presented in a well laid out room with en-suite. Well stocked mini bar with nibbles and drink whilst watching TV

Take a walk around the various kitchen garden and grounds to see your food in the ground.

Menus are limited if you're a veggie with small portions requiring a side order to fill you up. Food is of an excellent quality and presented beautifully all served by the very numerous and friendly staff.

Only nit pick is the proximity of the tables in the restaurant, they're very close and takeaway some of the exclusivity of the experience.

A stay in the hotel, plus dinner proved to be a marvellous experience. All staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. Lovely walks around the grounds, especially the walled garden. The food was exceptional, interesting and tasty. Great variety of gins and whiskies available. Yes it's expensive, but the quality of food, service and overall experience makes it a special place to stay.

We ate dinner at the pig and from the moment we opened the front door the service was amazing and we felt welcomed and as if at a friend's house for the evening. We did not have a room at the Pig but were welcomed like anyone else. We had drinks in the bar area before our reservation. A cocktail called Jazz something- deliciously different! The bar staff were very helpful in helping us choose. From there we were invited to our table. Again, amazing table service, Abby was so kind! I could see how it could get loud but the place was not 100% packed when we were there so it wasn't a problem. It is tightly packed though with tables. For two we did three starters (squash with goat cheese was amazing), two mains, and one dessert. Prices were fair given the local dishes, venue and service (coming from London). Very good choice for a special night out, if you are concerned about noise ask for a quiet table in corner. After, we relaxed in the fireplace room for an hour and had a cab take us back to Brockenhurst where we were staying (8 quid).

WOW WOW WOW!!!! Other restaurants and hotels need to take note, this hotel offers PERFECTION!!!! We were made to feel so unbelievably special. Nothing was a problem. so friendly, kind and helpful. Absolutely beautiful setting, house, grounds and rooms. Amazing attention to detail. The food we ate was outstanding! So much so that my husband had the beef twice :0). I guess one comment would be a touch more vegan options (for myself) but I understand that this hotel is not really about that and that is of course fine. And perhaps some dog friendly rooms so our pooch can experience this too (he'd also love that beef ;0) ). Cannot wait to come back and bring my folks next time. THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

Setting is really beautiful and the drinks before our lunch were really delicious. Service was fine, but nothing special. I have to say I was quite disappointed with the menu options, and when the food came I was surprised at the very basic presentation. We tried quite a few small plates and a main each and the best bit of the meal was the cocktail. We were pretty excited to eat here, but overall I would say it’s overrated and underwhelming.

Went for dinner on Tuesday evening. The food was absolutely fantastic as were the cocktails but what made the evening even better was the staff. Everyone was friendly, helpful, attentive and very knowledgeable. Special mention to the barman who made our cocktails at the end of the evening. He really knew his stuff. Highly recommend The Pig and will definitely go again next time I’m visiting this part of the country.

Lovely lunch with friends.
Excellent choice on the menu.
Fish pie nice but a bit stingy on the fish!
But parsnip soup starter was very tasty.
Friends shared cheese board for desert and it looked good with lots of variation.
Cold outside,but we were by the fire which was super cosy..

Went for lunch and loved it. Very relaxed atmosphere. Food was sublime. Was slightly surprised by the joint wash room. Cubicles for men and women separated but joint hand washing and mirror. Definitely a problem in some cultures. I felt very self conscious re applying lipstick in that area. Staff were lovely and I enjoyed the experience in every other way.
