25 mile menu
Feast in the sunshine
Now the sun's back shining, we'll be serving up our 25 mile menu out on our terrace!
If you fancy digging into the dishes we love at this time of year outside under the ancient woodland of the New Forest, book a table in the restaurant and we'll do our very best to sit you outside on the day.
Barbecue season is here!
This summer, our friends at Big Green Egg are helping us bring the very best flavours of BBQ season alongside our outdoor garden oven at THE PIG.
Think freshly grilled Kitchen Garden pickings, slow-cooked meats and coastal catches straight off the flame... all best washed down with something chilled in hand as those sunny afternoons drift into hazy summer evenings!

Wander through rolling fields, woodland paths and nearby villages, soaking up a little fresh air along the way. Then head back to ours for a well-earned bite to eat, a drink on the terrace, or something fresh from the Garden Oven, the perfect way to round off a good walk.
Friday 12th June – Sunday 14th June 2026

The ultimate way to spend a summer weekend! We’ll be throwing open the doors to our lawn in Brockenhurst from Friday 12th June to Sunday 14th June for a stripped back, home-spun, proper garden party with great feasting food, live, local music and cracking entertainment to let the good times roll.
Three toppings to jazz up your pizza
An all-round crowd-pleaser – you can’t go wrong with a homemade pizza in the warmer months. But what really sets these bad boys apart is the toppings. We’ve got a few you’ve got to try… (you can thank us later).
