Went there for the first time. Nice quaint Cottage. Consummate front of house. Very welcoming . Starters were good but a bit lacking ...the salt beet and prawns. My wife had the fish which was very good. I had the pork which was also very good. The black pudding and chorizo, I thought was too strong a combination but nevertheless it was tasty. A bit pricey . But we had a good time. Thank you.
Absolutely gorgeous restaurant, stunning building and views. The food is amazing, so well cooked, lovely flavours and beautifully presented. Staff are very welcoming. Wonderful experience.
Had a great experience here today. It was our first ever visit.
We had the halibut and the linguine, and both were outstanding 👌.
The place had a great feel and decor.
We were even checking the diary as to when we could come back. It was that good!
Our new fav place
What a wonderful place! Loved the decor, the vibe and the amazing food! The owners were delightful and looked after us so well.
Look out for Steak Saturday and the reasonably priced set menu.
We had such a lovely time and can’t wait to come back again!
Food Was Absolutely Amazing. Lovely Small Venue With A Wonderful Relaxed Atmosphere. Would Highly Recommend This Place.
Lovely food and decor, the service is so so, if you ask for bread, you have to ask 3 times. The ‘artisan’ crackers were missing from the cheese board to start and when they turned up, they’re clearly not artisan. Servers don’t realise they need to get rid of empty bottles from the table
Oh wow what an experience. We decided to have lunch here on a recommendation from a friend and booked a table for 1pm on a Saturday, unfortunately we were caught up in an accident tailback on the A12, we let the restaurant no and they were marvellous and kept our table for us. The restaurant is lovely and charming with a very pleasant atmosphere. We were greeted and seated and our drink order was taken by a wonderful polite waiter. The menu was presented and what a wonderful selection there is. The food is absolutely amazing, beautifully presented, well seasoned and well thought out with the combination of flavours, it was superbly delicious.I must say the service is fabulous too. Would I eat here again “oh yes” I will definitely go back again. I will recommend this beautiful place to everyone, Justin is an amazing host and runs a wonderful restaurant. Congratulations to you and your wonderful team for making this a great dining experience
Thank you both for a lovely welcome back to our favourite restaurant. As usual the service and food were amazing. We can't wait to come back again. Bless you both, you have created a beautiful little haven in the country side. x
Very nice restaurant. Staff were friendly, service great, food was fantastic. The restaurant is quaint & a lovely atmosphere. An overall excellent experience & we’ll definitely be back.
My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary here recently on a Sunday afternoon with our two children aged 12 and 7. It was a really lovely experience in terms of the decor, the service and the beautiful, delicious food and drinks. I highly recommend this for a special occasion. It's not just a country pub/restaurant. We were made to feel special. We understood before our arrival that the Pig & Whistle experience is not aimed at children. We took them along anyway so they could practise their manners. We requested a smaller portion for our young daughter which was supplied. We were even allowed to take home her leftovers for our dog at home. Thank you to all the staff for a warm welcome. We will be back.
