Five Little Pigs in South Oxfordshire

More of a posh brunch place than evening meal. Bit pricey for tiny portions

Tip top as always, staff always brilliant, food, nothing left to the imagination, over and above fantastic.

Wonderful food and fantastic service

Lovely food and staff, had a great breakfast there Saturday morning. Will definitely be returning, young lady that served us was a credit to the place.

Sells Hawkstone on draught, a lovely beer.

High quality produce, all served to a very high standard. Best brunch we've ever had. Whatever you order will be delicious!

Great little restaurant; the menu offering is seasonal. Excellent dishes, from first to last. The plating is beautiful. Local products absolutely valued. Vegetarian dishes available.

Outstanding food, great service and very reasonably priced for the quality

I think they were short of staff the evening we were there so service was a little slow, but otherwise great!

Had a fantastic bottomless brunch. All four of us really enjoyed the food and made the most of the bottomless aspect. The service was friendly and attentive. Thoroughly recommended.

Loved the food and hospitality! So beautifully put together and smily staff, checking on us that we are happy with the food and the food was so artistically presented. Great atmosphere, highly recommended it and especially that the name is to show the connection with Aghata Christie.

Passing through and popped in for Sunday brunch. Utterly outstanding experience. I could blabber on about it all, but just go and see for yourself. I wish I lived closer.

Great cocktails, service and ambience. As a vegetarian, the menu definitely caters more to meat eaters. We had a really great lunch here that beat out our dinner for flavour. The female bathrooms have lots of little extra toiletries and things that are a really nice touch.

The wonderful taste combinations in our lunch were all beyond expectations, especially the scotch egg. Grandson doubted he’d like ‘home made’ baked beans with his sausage and was astonished to love them. Obviously good sourcing and a very talented chef.

Delicious, sustainable food in a relaxed setting. Highly recommend the bread service, the herby butter was to die for. I also loved the fact that you could choose from small or larger plates.

We had a very nice birthday lunch, every choice turned out well, beautifully cooked and presented, intense flavours, a memorable meal. We’ll definitely be back.

The third time we've been to the Five Little Pigs and it has been better every time! Really interesting selection of dishes, really attentive staff - would thoroughly recommend this and will definitely be going back again!!

Good food, and great staff. Totally enjoyable night out

Came in for a quick pint and Lauren poured me the most fantastic pint of pilsner. Would definitely recommend.

Great restaurant with attentive staff and interesting menu,the trout was beautiful with unusual vegetables.would definitely recommend.

Absolutely fabulous in every way! Service 10/10 Food 10/10 Atmosphere 10/10 Value 10/10 Loved it and will definitely be back Thank you very much

Delicious food friendly staff couldn't ask for more will most certainly visit again,highly recommended

Really smart place. Did not eat but is a good gem for a beer.

Great experience at 5 little pigs with our young family. We had the calf sweetbreads to start and oso bucco and confit lamb ribs for main with blood orange financier/parfait for dessert. Side dishes of Waldorf salad and triple cooked chips were lovely. Nice atmosphere and would come back again.

Met friends here for a quick lunch and was really disappointed not to have been able to stay longer, if only to test their desert menu. Food was excellent with a great variety of unusual vegetarian and vegan options. It was quite when we were there, which suited our situation. Service was friendly and attentive and nothing seemed to phase them.

2nd visit this year and sadly disappointing both times. Nice atmosphere if a bit noisy this evening as we were at the very back of the restaurant. Last time I was disappointed with the steak bavette which was basically a small steak on a bit of toast!! Menu was the same as in March so opted for cod to start and gnocchi for main. We had a slightly late booking so they’d run out of the leek pancake, disappointing for 2 on our table but understandable as we were later. The cod was ok but needed more seasoning. The gnocchi was poor - felt like the last of a batch for the evening, not hot, stodgy and really bland. Didn’t finish it. Mixed reviews from the rest of my group - clearly a couple of us were unlucky. But at those prices all the food should be top notch!! Shame I’ve always quite liked it here but it can be hit and miss , with the service, the food and the menu choice which tends to be good for vegans and veggies, but not so great for those who eat meat.

You are welcomed into the restaurant with a smile and the food was faultless and we ate every bit. We did look at the dessert menu but there wasn't anything which took our fancy other than that I would go again.

グループ会社の同僚と会食。イギリスのフードはまずいとよく言われますが、ここはどれも美味しかったです。都会から離れた、ひっそりとした街並みの中にあり、観光客はぱっと見でゼロ、地元の人に愛されるお店のように見えました。ビールの種類がもうちょっと欲しかったかな。ビールのアルコール度数は、皆5%以下でした。

Such an amazing restaurant to have in Wallingford, amazing quality of food and flavours. Awesome wine, beautiful atmosphere, and I can’t speak highly enough about the staff. Thank you to Liz and the team. We are lucky to have you in Wallingford.

Work colleagues out for dinner. Live locally, lots of people recommend it but our experience wasn't good. Starters were nice, but mains took ages to arrive. When they did arrive my lamb was tasty but very very salty & the mash was tepid. They entirely forgot to put the dressing on one of my colleagues meals until she complained it was a little dry. Won't be rushing back.

Five little pigs is for us Five Big Stars . Went for a spontaneous lunch on Easter Sunday and were lucky to find a table . We had a couple of the small plates , some wine and a delicious dessert . Food , drinks and service was all top !

Had a great lunch here yesterday. Charming service, cosy interior and a delicious meal. Especially liked the extra choice for vegetarians, although I am not one myself. The starters were particularly good - the scotch egg (a speciality) was mouth-wateringly good. I think the Confit Beetroot was the best main course we had. The chef knows his stuff.

It's far too noisy because it serves as a bar as well. Been twice, once on a Saturday night, lots of loud people came in abt 830pm means you can't hear anything and the service standard goes down as they are swamped. But fair enough on a Saturday night maybe I thought. 2nd time was a Sunday lunch few weeks later, v loud party drinking bottomless cocktails - Sunday lunch? No thanks again too loud, won't be going back. Pity because the food is first rate with interesting options for veggies.

Fabulous food served up by lovely people. We will certainly be coming back.

We thought we would try the Five Little Pigs after reading an article online - we were not disappointed. The setting - very pleasant. The service - fantastic. The food - off the charts - great local produce but very tasty. The price - very reasonable. It was just the wife and I for our wedding anniversary but we will definitely return.

I first ate here 2 years ago and it was great however my last 3 visits have been a huge disappointment with both service and food quality. I thought I'd try the bavette steak, which was in-between a steak sandwich and steak and chips, very confusing and a ruined piece of sourdough which weirdly all the resting juices had oozed into creating what looked like an old tampon. My last visit was to try the ox cheek which came out with a pale lumpy sauce and over cooked polenta, very disappointing. To top that off I got to hear the young waitress talking about her night out before. Personally I think the prices of the food aren't reflecting the quality.

Late night Thursday, Wallingford. Good reception, good service. Thanks for serving us.

This is the first time we've been there. The dishes are amazingly delicious. The service is top-notch and definitely we will come to visit this restaurant again, tho it's an hour drive 😅

Excellent food, taste on point and very interesting choices. Could not recommend this place more.

Fantastic bar, excellent cocktails and friendly staff... And to top it off doggo friendly

Recent visit was pleasant but was left wanting a little more, nothing distinctly wrong but felt needed a bit more flair. For example for a restaurant named after pigs there was only one pork dish which was a scotch egg. I feel the night I went needed a special or two to showcase variety. Was a mid week dinner so perhaps less staff than usual but not the greatest service either. Overall was worth visiting but not sure the last impression was strong enough.

The food was delicious and the service gracious. It's a hard ask, but keep some room after the excellent main course because the puds are really something else

Had a lovely lunch In the pigs today. Every single dish was so good. Service from Liz was lovely as always.

Family went to Five Little Pigs when it first opened. Service was slow waited an hour for main course, it was served on cold plates and food was cold. Decided to go back after it had been entered into The Michelin Guide. Staff are a credit to the establishment. Menu was an odd choice of foods put together? We started with " famous Scotch Egg, odd flavour, tasted like oil in deep fryer was stale and needed to be filtered or changed. I had full All Day Brunch... fried eggs were hard, bacon burnt and hard, black pudding excellent. Fried bread must be cooked in same fryer as Scotch Egg...tasted odd. Brother had Kegeree the poached egg was hard, shame. The restaurant is a "diamond in the rough" for Wallingford. I support local businesses but maybe the Chef was having an off day. It happens!

Delicious food. Delightful attentive staff. Great drink selection. All in all a really wonderful meal for my mum’s birthday. And to the wonderful genius who put dry shampoo in the ladies - thank you

Revolving seasonal menu keeps it interesting and now in the Michelin guide !

We booked a table for four the week before Christmas. We booked their Xmas meal and were very much looking forward to the meal. Unfortunately the service was terrible. We waited over an hour for our food,had to remind the server and when it came it was cold. We were not asked about drinks, the table was not cleared and it did spoil the evening. We have had better experience at basic pub restaurants. We won't go back.

Food was good but we were placed at the back of the restaurant close to a very noisy table of 6 women. They got noisier and noisier. We mentioned it to the staff who said they were having a bottomless brunch and all they seemed to do about it was bring more prosecco. By the time we left there were empty tables at the front of the restaurant which we could have been offered for our desserts and coffee

How lucky were we to find such a fantastic and friendly restaurant for our group of nearly 30 for our company Christmas meal in December. The food was delicious and the service was superb. Special mention to Liz for all the communication and patience with our preparations.

Really nice laid back place in Wallingford. Excellent service and reasonably priced. The scotch egg was really good, octopus was ok ( have had better and was a little on the chewy side ). The ox cheek was superb and the travel cake with cream & chocolate sauce was amazing. Excellent coffees too ..! Overall definitely a gem in Oxford villages .. and worth a trip. Verdict 5/5 Meal for 2 is easily £100/- for three courses and couple of drinks

I have ended up having two christmas parties here this month and both of them have been absolutely superb. One was for the bottomless brunch and the other was a large group of us that shared the small plates. I cannot fault anything! We were a big group and the service and quality of food was simply outstanding. Liz and her team do such an amazing job.

Our favourite local eatery, we look forward to visits to The Five Little Pigs. Fantastic food, all ethically sourced, local and high welfare. The staff are always delightful and both the wine list and cocktails are fab. If you like gin, you must visit. If you like Bloody Mary’s try their Bloody Maria! Make sure you book if it’s a weekend.

Great staff,thanks Liz,interesting menu but really lovely and tasty and will definitely be going back,Great decor,easy parking nearby

We had our work Christmas do here and the food, service and atmosphere was amazing. Definitely coming back.

We had a lovely meal here today, all the dishes and drinks were exceptional and the staff were lovely - thank you for making our visit special.

Excellent Brunch menu to suit all tastes. The cocktails, Prosecco and drinks kept flowing due the attentive Liz and the team. Great buzzing atmosphere, perfect for that social catch up!

Original and delicious food (just fabulous!), teamed up with amazing cocktails, must come back when in town!

Last night was our first visit and will not be our last. The food is exceptional, nothing run of the mill. If you are looking for something good, but also different, then I suggest you give it a try.

Four of us had an absolutely delicious lunch. Tasty, imaginative dishes, friendly staff, the only negative was we were the only people enjoying this lovely restaurant.

Planned night away around this restaurant and it was so worthwhile staff amazing helpful and just a joy The evening was great not rushed and staff went out of way to ensure we had a great night - food was absolutely out of this world taste amazing and cooked to perfection - you must go

Visited with my daughter. We had three small plates and two side dishes. We didn’t quite finish the main courses as we had to have dessert! Special mention for the octopus, a very hard dish to cook, as it’s very easy to overcook. Each dish was delicious and really enjoyed them. Dessert was a really nice blackberry parfait. It’s not budget food if you have a decent amount, but you pay for quality. Really nice serving staff, good communicators. Toilets very well appointed and clean. Ps even on a Wednesday night it was pretty full, worth booking.

Not sure I get the hype around this place, maybe we were just unlucky. The roast cauliflower main was served luke warm and lacked in taste, my Steak Bavette was also severed on burnt toast. Food for us was not worth of the high prices charged. Great staff and nice wines though!

Great vibe - really interesting seasonal dishes, always something new to try. A Wallingford institution now

Fantastic Good food, proper restaurant atmosphere and staff were happy, chatty and smiling. We enjoyed a Potato Bread starter, and then had the bavette steak and lamb rump for mains. All were beautifully prepared - tender lamb still pinkish in the middle, and the bavette steak was great. Had an espresso panacotta for pudding whicb finished me off nicely.

Went here for a drink nice little pub with a nice garden. Staff are really friendly and very welcoming. Not yet tried to food but looking forward to at some point.

There is a lot of talk of foraging and seasons but I left here disappointed because of poor value. The service was good, the food was good. But the prices suggest the food should be better. More gimmick than greatness.

Loved everything ! Will be back on, thank you so much 😊 🙏🏻

Everything about the place, from walking through the door and being greeted, to paying for the bill it was outstanding. Knowledgeable staff on both food and drinks doesn't happen often nowadays so it's always a pleasant surprise. The food and service was perfect and luckily all food was available at the time of ordering, pick of the bunch being the octopus. The presentation is delightful and the background music was even on point. The second time in a month I have visited here and it certainly will not be the last, a new firm favourite in Oxfordshire.

Had a quick bite and drink while waiting for our hotel room to be ready. One of the best Scotch eggs I've eaten and the local beer selection was great! I also had the chips (fries) and my dining partner enjoyed the tempura summer veggies.

Best place to eat in wallingford. A while ago we did a brunch for my sisters hen do and they were very accommodating with it being 24 people!!

I literally cried. ALL of the food was amazing but the potato bread with bacon jam was so good that I cried, and then ordered it again for dessert. Staff were amazing, vibe was great. The only constructive criticism I’d give is that the outside of the kitchen could do with a lick of paint - just because it’s the backdrop for the garden table view. Otherwise they should change nothing because everyone on staff and everything they do is perfect.

Wonderful dinner, lots of vegetarian options.

Really great lunch at the Pigs. 3 of us sharing lots of small plates and all of them were delicious. Lovely staff and efficient service, would thoroughly recommend this fantastic, well thought out restaurant.

Been meaning to come here for absolutely ages. Didn’t disappoint at all. Firstly, the staff were fantastic, attentive and welcoming and the whole restaurant was as clean as a whistle. Menu wise… too hard to decide so two of us went for 5 starters and a main. Had it been dinner we’d have added an extra main. You can tell they are super keen about local produce and are so clever with it. Seasonal experts for sure. Nothing wasted and all from the area. We had a gorgeous chard style dip with the lamb rump (cooked to perfection), so earthy and refined, the perfect amount of garlic in the mash… just as an example. All starters were ace. Ox cheek, octopus, lovely whipped local cheeses…We finished with some home made digestifs. Incredible. The whole team deserve every accolade they get. And the whole meal was really good value for money. Will be back.

It's good, not sure what to add .The food tasted good and the drink was good....Nothing jumps out but flesh ingredients with good cooking. If I could, I would give it 3.7/5, it is better than average.

We’d been looking forward to Five Little Piggies, especially as I believe that they also own the excellent Bear at North Moreton. I’m sure we could have gone on another day and would have been very pleased but on this occasion, we were not blown away. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Our food was not all served at the same time and this was aggravated by having to send back some solid fried eggs. The kitchen need to understand that if you serve a fried egg on a hot plate and it’s stood in the kitchen for a while, it won’t stay runny. Pork chop was not moist and could have, at least, been more manageable with a steak knife rather than a blunt knife. I’d have thought this would be a given - to swap knives. Where we were sat, they could do with getting out the duster. I would try them again but maybe not for a while.

Wow this was a wonderful place we stumbled upon and a worthy feast was had after 3 hrs of driving. The staff and decour are very welcoming and excellent attentive staff. The menu was incredible, so we had multiple small plates for a tapas style feasting and were not disappointed. Just a shame its so far away from where i live to easily go again.

The food here is unique, well presented and fresh. Well worth a visit if going nearby. Only negative was it did take a good while for our food to arrive and no apology was given but the food made up for it.

I loved it here but our server made the experience less enjoyable. We were clearly interrupting her plans she had by eating there. She didn’t bring our food to our table and made a rude back handed compliment. Other than our server the experience here was excellent. The food and atmosphere was amazing. This restaurant could definitely be a michelin star restaurant!

I can’t believe I live in Wallingford and hadn’t eaten here before this week - now been twice as the first time with friends was so good I just had to bring family. Lovely food - beautifully combined and presented and great understated but oh so helpful service. Very relaxing atmosphere. Quite pricey but worth it and portion sizes for starters and deserts are big enough for sharing.

My wife and myself had a 2 night stay in Wallingford, after researching on where to eat we read a few reviews for this place and after see a photo of the scotch egg felt we had to book in - we were not disappointed! We had the scotch egg to share, my wife had the gnocchi and I had lamb rump. Everything was cooked to perfection - we have no idea how they manage to keep the yolk of the egg still soft?! A fantastic choice of wines and cocktails were also available to compliment our meal. Would definitely recommend and will be revisiting when in Wallingford next.

The most delicious tempura veg + sunshine+drinks, whats not to like! 😋

Actually 4.8 stars. Great menu with some veggie gestures, interesting but brief wine list, excellent service*. Atmosphere? It's a converted store front, plenty of room between tables for prams and walkers. Parking is a bit of a hike. Needs a bit of screening from curious passers-by Reasons that it's not five stars... Attractive and tasty bruschetta-like starter served on sourdough that defeated standard English (ie. blunt) table knife. Do I want to work that hard on a starter? Lovely desserts to share but TWO delicious donuts filled with strawberry rhubarb jam served to a table of three 🤔 *A heads up from the server would have been appreciated. FLP was bit dear but probably the best eatery for miles (excluding Roke)

Amazing Vegan main course, lovely atmoshpere, great wine, and superb service from Elizabeth and team, lovely way to spend my bithday.

Food was amazing, staff were so so lovely - best customer service I have ever experienced 🕺

Really enjoyed our meal here. We ate with our daughter and boyfriend and ordered most of the small plates plus chips and a main. Very greedy!, The wait was a little too long but we forgave them when the food arrived. Really tasty and varied....

The food was delicious, really nicely balanced flavours and portion sizes. The staff were all very friendly and the service was lovely.

Service was very slow even though the restaurant was empty. Followed by the order being incorrect. One of the dishes was good - the other ok

Amazing! Utterly fabulous team they are absolutely wonderful.

First visit for lunch. A la carte and a set menu which was excellent. We had fritters followed by trout and scotch egg followed by lamb rump. Drinks and service all great.

Lovely restaurant bar. Popped in for a drink only and quite busy with groups, slightly older age groups enjoying lunch. The food looked great, but I didn't eat. Also there is a gun garden, outside space to enjoy the better weather. Tables set at the front to watch the world go by or in the back.

Monday night in Wallingford isn’t the best night to find a great place to eat, but I did, walked past five little pigs and thought it looked a good place. The food was amazing, scotch eggs to start and then the rump steak, really yummy...

I rarely write reviews but I was so impressed with this restaurant from the moment we stepped through the door. My fiend and I only wanted a snack lunch but wondered on our initial look at the menu if they provided this. How wrong we...

Incredible, thoughtful, locally sourced food served imaginatively and always beautifully cooked. I'm always surprised and delighted with what's on my plate and in my glass! The service is outstanding, the staff are well informed and super friendly - nothing ever feels too much. It all fits beautifully in the art deco deco. A gem of a neighbourhood restaurant - it feels like it should be so much more expensive than it is and visitors from London are always blown away. Feel very lucky to have this fabulous restaurant on our doorstep!

Food tasty. Nicely presented Nice artistic flair

Lovely restaurant, staff really good and very busy must have counted at least six people turned away as they hadn't booked Interesting menu but not pork based as the name would suggest We had starters of sweet and sour Leeks on toast which was sultanas...

Lovely food and good atmosphere- even for a Monday night. Looking forward to trying their sister pub 'The Bear' in North Moreton.

Lovely food, beautiful restaurant. Was sorry not to find fried olives on the menu, but the meal can't be faulted.

Haven’t been here for a while for an evening meal. So we were really looking forward to another visit. We’d booked food in advance which seemed to help with the service. Food was lovely, despite menu seeming a bit limited. My husband doesn’t eat fish...
