Simple food done well...
Kent’s unique, exciting patchwork of agricultural farmland, ancient orchards, newly planted vineyards and history of hop growing, all within casting distance of the sea, means THE PIG-at Bridge Place has access to some of the freshest local fish, locally brewed beers, amazing meats, delicious fruit and award-winning English wines in the country.
Our Kitchen Garden here is one of the biggest in the PIG litter, with 10-meter long polytunnels, fruit cages, raised beds, buzzy beehives and a whole host of four-legged friends.
Together, our homegrown produce and local goodies from our fantastic supplier friends make up the simple, fresh dishes served up in our open-plan restaurant that’s packed with character, with the kitchen at the very heart of it – just as home should be.
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 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.
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 (we are in the Wine Garden of England, after all). 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.
A proper Sunday, served course by course
On Sundays, THE PIG at Bridge Place offers a proper Sunday roast menu, shaped by what’s growing in the Kitchen Garden and what our chefs love to cook when Sunday really matters.
You can expect generous, comforting plates like whole hams glazed to perfection, chooks roasted until the skin crackles and Kitchen Garden heroes taking centre stage - the kind of food that deserves to be lingered over, not hurried through.
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 or local, inspired by the garden and always committed to the classics. Pair it with a few Piggy Bits to share 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 and settle into a comfy chair in a cosy corner.

Our local heroes
Behind every plate at THE PIG-at Bridge Place is a cast of brilliant farmers, growers, cheesemakers, bakers and butchers - the lifeblood of our 25 mile menus. These are the people who bring us our own PIG cinnamon buns, delicious Kentish cheese, just-picked berries and the best cuts of meat, 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
What to expect
