Deep in the ancient New Forest
It all started in the Kitchen Garden at our original PIG, a tumbled down walled garden inspiring the future of food at THE PIGs.
The New Forest is unlike anywhere else in Britain. In these ancient woods it’s all misty mornings, wood-smoke evenings, with pigs snuffling for acorns and the earthy flavours of mushroom, wood pigeon and deer. We also have the fishermen of Dorset, and the farmers and makers of Wiltshire and Hampshire to inspire and supply our 25 mile menu, so our chefs really are spoilt for choice. And if you go down to the fields beyond the walled Kitchen Garden you will meet our chickens, quails and of course…pigs!
The dishes on our 25 mile menu change by the day depending on what our forager supplies, what arrives at the back door from our local friends and what our Kitchen Garden team deems to be in perfect condition. A celebration of our British produce, grown and gathered with care.
Opening Hours
Friday – Sunday: 7.30am - 10am (breakfast) / 12pm - 9pm
Breakfast
Kickstart your day, THE PIG way, with a hearty hot breakfast or a help-yourself grazing table packed with homegrown treats. The best part? You don’t have to be staying with us to dig in.
Whether it’s a working breakfast, a weekend catch-up, or a quiet coffee in the New Forest countryside, we’ll be dishing up from 7.30am - the coffee is brewing, the eggs are fresh from our hens, and the best seat in the house is waiting for you.
Available to residents-only through January 2026. We'll be back as normal from February.
Lunching
Light bite or long lunch? You choose. We’ll keep the plates coming - from garden-picked salads to the classic comfort dishes. Perfect for those “just popping in” pit-stops or afternoons that stretch happily into a second bottle. Gather your gang or sneak a solo plate in peace - either way, lunch is made to be easy.
Drop-in, outdoor dining...
Soak up every last drop of al-fresco afternoons at the Garden Oven, tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the main house and made for laid-back outdoor dining. There’s no need to book, just rock up, grab a table and dig into wood-fired pizzas, topped with locally sourced ingredients and zero-mile pickings from the Kitchen Garden.
Dinner
Our suppers start early, so you can slip in before sunset or make a whole night of it. Cosy up for a dinner à deux or go for a big table for a rollicking, laughter-loud feast of sharing plates. Either way, the night is young and the wine’s already breathing.
Introducing teatime... THE PIG way.
Buttered & Baked is our take on some proper ‘perfect-for-3pm’ kind of afternoon treats. Warm, generous and straight from the kitchen, this is a menu made of buttery, savoury things to start with, followed by soft bakes and sweet bits.
Dished up in our cosy lounges think freshly baked Coastal Cheddar Scones with Bacon Jam, and Spiced Squash & Goats Cheese Quiche, followed by hearty helpings of Carrot & Walnut Cake with Cream Cheese Icing and Millionaire’s Shortbread.
Drinks & Nibbles
Not ready for a full feast? Our bar is always open for a glass of something homegrown, local, or just plain delicious. Pair it with a few Piggy Bits to share, (you can’t go wrong with our classic Brock Eggs or Crackling & Apple Sauce!), and settle into a cosy corner or a sun-soaked seat outside. Perfect for post-work wind-downs, weekend tipples, or a midweek treat - no booking needed, just wander in.

Our local heroes
Behind every plate at THE PIG is a cast of brilliant farmers, growers, fishermen, cheesemakers, bakers and butchers - the lifeblood of our 25 mile menus. These are the people who bring us just-laid eggs, just-picked berries, hand-dived scallops, and of course our New Forest-famous pannage pork, all with care, skill and stories to tell. We visit them, talk to them, trust them - and couldn’t do what we do without them.
