We celebrated Christmas Eve at the Pig and Truffle with our family visiting from Italy and we had a fantastic time. We stayed in the private dining room which has a cosy and intimate atmosphere that was perfect for all of us (including two babies and a small child). Food was excellent, each course was superbly cooked and very tasty. Great choice in the menu of different specialties, we tried most dishes and were not disappointed. Terry was absolutely brilliant, super attentive and looked after us all evening with so much warmth that made us feel at home. We will be back for sure.
Well done Terry. Fantastic evening. Good food and the good atmosphere in the restaurant. Looking forward to another visit soon. Thoroughly recommend this to others.
It was our first visit to the Pig & Truffle & I have to say we were unfortunately underwhelmed. When we arrived for lunch the restaurant was cold inside & my mother & wife didn't warm up. We had the Sunday roast beef, which was very fatty & wasn't tender & was difficult to cut. The vegetables & yorkshire pudding were excellent with lovely flavour. My stepfather had an American coffee without milk & we had to ask twice for it, by time it came he'd drunk it as it would have been cold. The bill came & was incorrect as they had added on our desserts even though we had a two course set meal & I finally went to the bar to pay the bill as no one had come for our payment. With over £20 added for service charge, i should have spoken up but didn't as it was a special meal for my mothers birthday. Its a very nice location and most of the food was good but it was not great service & no restaurant should be cold for its guests.
Absolutely brilliant evening in the private dining room to celebrate a special family event. Terry and his team looked after us amazingly well and each of our meals was perfectly presented and delicious. The wine list is excellent and we enjoyed our stay in the lovely rooms. Thank you for an wonderful evening.
We enjoyed our first dinner there and will go back to try other things on the menu. Very flavourful food, clever combinations, upscale without being pretentious or fussy. Loved the pumpkin small bites, the mango in the Scotch egg was brilliant. Beetroot risotto lovely. Parmesan courgette fries nicely done. Hope they do well and not just because we want a good local place
