The Pig Near Bath in Bath and North East Somerset

My first visit to The Pig and it won’t be my last, just need to save up - but it’s well worth it ❤️ You’re paying for the whole experience not just the food or the room, The Pig is the complete package. The attention to detail is amazing, from the floor boards and the light switches in the bedrooms, the decorations throughout the house and just the added extras such as welly boots and beautiful smelling toiletries. My very comfortable room was amazing, bath and all, spotlessly clean and with everything you could need, especially in the well stocked fridge, something for everyone. Dinner was a pleasure. I dined in the restaurant all three evenings and had something different each time. My favourite has to have been the pork loin, exceptional. The vegetables were so fresh, home grown in the wonderful kitchen garden. Take the tour at 11am it’s a must. Zac was my guide and answered every question put to him. I came away with a head full of ideas and more of a knowledge of how hard the team of gardens work throughout the year and just how busy they must be. Mornings I had the cooked breakfast, top quality food. So much choice on the buffet and beautifully laid out. No rush to get downstairs either so could have a lay in if wanted. Treated myself to one of the spa treatments available throughout the day, facilities located in the gardens but booked at reception. Would go and do it all again tomorrow if I could, thank you Emily it was soooo good. To be able to sit in the grounds, watch the deer and soak up the peace, space and fresh air is an experience all in itself and very relaxing, especially if you turn your phone off !! I would also like to give my thanks to everyone who made my break away so memorable, you were all lovely, very helpful and happy but my special thanks go to Angela and Steph who were exceptional, nothing was too much trouble. Also Dom and Ben who helped me brilliantly through the dinner menu, answering all my questions and matching my enthusiasm for the food and wines - thank you all. I will work hard to save up and book again next year. Exceptional Xxx

My friend &I had a treatment each in the potting sheds treatment rooms in the garden,we both thoroughly enjoyed the massages,we've both had a few in our time but we both agreed,these were some of the better ones we've had.Having said that double what we'd normally pay. Lunch afterwards was very pleasing as the last few meals I'd had there weren't that good!We had the lunchtime special,2 courses for £26.50,8oz Rib eye was included in this deal and it was a very nice steak,good wine not too expensive,Brilliant service,great atmosphere as always.will certainly be back soon.

We went to celebrate our Golden wedding Anniversary with friends that were also celebrating theirs. I had the pork and my husband had beef. Both very nice but extremely pricey. My daughters had already prepaid for a bottle of bubbly and red wine. The table was small and difficult to get all the dishes on. Very cramped.They brought in a glass of sweet wine ea h for our celebration. We weren't having a pudding and are not keen on sweet wine . A bit disappointing. A bit overated will try somewhere else next time .

We went to the restaurant and found it disappointing both from quality and taste perspective but also from the crazy prices. A real let down

A top pig. We have visited most of them and will definitely return to this trough. I hope they manage to retain their caring feel as they get more corporste.

The Pig near Bath is fabulous. Very relaxing and very relaxed. It’s gloriously quiet with lots of surrounding land - even has its own herd of deer just outside the front door - all carefully fenced in. You can wander freely through the extensive vegetable gardens and orchard. Wellies and umbrellas thoughtfully provided against the English weather. The room was extremely comfortable and a great shower - wasn’t too impressed by the bath in the bedroom but as we’d been given an upgrade to a larger room we didn’t complain about it. Just ignored it! The food is wonderful. Complimentary afternoon tea served in one of the many comfortable lounges with a choice of cake. Pre dinner drinks came with home made pickled vegetables. The menu for dinner was varied and caters to all tastes. A tasting menu would be a great addition as I was keen to try more than I could possibly eat! The smoked mackerel fish bite was a generous portion. The roasted tomato soup was superb. Great flavour. The John Dory with leeks and a Cornish dulce was so tasty. No room for dessert. Breakfast was a generous and healthy buffet with locally sourced fruit, bread and pastries as well as local ham, cheese and eggs. We couldn’t manage a cooked dish after the night before but other guests were tucking into what looked like a generous breakfast. Would thoroughly recommend.

First rate service and incredible food! If you’re looking for somewhere to celebrate a special milestone this is the place. We came to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. The team very kindly upgraded our room to a garden room which overlooked the kitchen gardens. Very comfortable and decorated in a stylish homely way fitting for the environment. In addition to what you would expect it has a log burner, not that we needed it! We had lunch dinner and breakfast here on the special August promotion. Everything we ate was incredible and memorable. New on the menu last night was a chocolate and basil ice cream that was served with a chocolate custard and stewed blackberries. It was stunning! 🤩 We really have had an amazing time, could have won and award for the longest game of snooker of all times in the afternoon. Enjoyed a complimentary tea and cake at 4pm. Just had a huge and delicious breakfast and plan a walk from the hotel after we’ve had our tour of the gardens. If you’re foodies like us you will love it. They also have an extensive wine list. Highly recommend this and the team here are so friendly.

We arrived at the beautiful Pig nr Bath in time for a wonderfully informative guided tour of the impressive kitchen garden. The variety of vegetables, edible plants and herbs is astonishing! Service in the hotel and restaurant is extraordinarily relaxed, welcoming and friendly – absolutely perfect. We started our lunch with the most amazingly complex yet delicately flavoured fennel and white onion soup with herb oil that was outstandingly delicious. Equally delicious were the tender carrots with thin slices of pickled apple on a bed of almond cream. The main courses, on the other hand, didn’t seem to make use of all the flavours available in the kitchen garden. The roast pepper on a garden herb polenta with pumpkin seeds tasted predominantly of a bland tomato sauce and too much salt. The very earthy glazed bolder beetroot was served in heavy chunks that overpowered the flavour of anything they were eaten with. They could have had a deeper, more layered flavour, maybe some juniper or a honey glaze, and be served thinly sliced. The wood pigeon with beetroot, walnut and blackberries also lacked complexity and was slightly overcooked and salty. Was it worth it? Yes, but we would choose selections of starters next time, bypassing the mains altogether.

I'm a real foodie and so I was excited to eat here, having heard good things about The Pig as a (high quality) chain. The setting is lovely – we were seated in the light and airy feeling conservatory. It's a relaxed atmosphere – the staff are all wearing jeans and T-shirts, while all being very polite and attentive. The food was overall very nice. I had crackling 'Piggy Bits', hot smoked trout, and then sole. The fish and plated accompaniments were delicious. However, I also ordered garden steamed 'greens' – which was kale – and I had to send this back. It was basically raw and chewy. They offered to re-do me a fresh bowl, which I accepted. But it came back exactly the same, and the apology was somewhat tinged with 'we cook greens so they are al dente here, like proper kitchens do…' Erm. It was KALE! Yes, give me al dente spring greens or cabbage any day, but Kale has to be cooked properly, because otherwise it's like eating tree bark! There was also some oversell on the extraordinarily large drinks menu. If I say I would just like a bottle of cider, please don't then convince my husband to order me a £10 quite small glass of flat, strong, overly sweet cider I didn't ask for. So a couple of things irked me, which is annoying considering how easy it is to spend a LOT of money in here. The situation of the place is wonderful and the gardens are lovely to walk around after lunch.

Beautiful setting, amazing grounds and lovely to see the deer. We went for Sunday lunch with some friends and were very excited after hearing all the hype about how incredible it was. Car parking was difficult and the car parks were so untidy so not the best first impression. Finding your way to the restaurant on a first visit takes some doing. We found ourselves to be gate crashers at a private event and then were left to make our own way around the grounds to the restaurant. We finally found the restaurant and it too was stunning. We were a little early so we were directed to the bar. We found seats and queued to get drinks. After 5 minutes a staff member arrived and told us our table was ready and accompanied us to the restaurant. We hadn’t managed to order drinks at the bar. After a while they took our drinks order. A bottle of wine and non alcoholic drink for the driver. It took ten minutes for the bottle of wine to appear. The other drink didn’t arrive at all until we reminded the staff 15 minutes later. Food order was taken. Finger snacks, followed by starters and then a main course. The pre- lunch finger foods arrived at the same time as the starters. There was no room on the table and we actually didn’t want them at this point. We accepted them graciously and we know mistakes happen (two of us have worked in hospitality for over 40 years) . We ordered a sparkling and a still water. They weren’t chilled at all. Just warm tap water and warm fizzy water! The menu was a confusing muddle. It wasn’t clear what actually came with the meal and what we needed to order as side dishes. The waiter had to explain it to us. The roast sirloin was lovely, the roast potatoes were hard, veg were nice but everything was cold. The braised beef was a dried out chewy lump of beef The cauliflower cheese was awful. We ordered two side dishes of cauli cheese and one was completely black on top. The cauliflower was overcooked and had obviously been sitting on a hot plate somewhere. It was mushy and dried out. The greens weren’t cooked at all. Cheese and biscuits were awful. One tiny piece of cheese and hard tasteless biscuits. We ordered two Irish coffees and received two whiskeys? We asked where the coffee was and eventually they returned with two Irish coffees ( they were very nice) Shortly after they brought us two whiskeys that we hadn’t ordered. They then took them away again and billed us anyway. For the price of the meal we were expecting to have a wonderful experience and instead wished we had gone elsewhere. It was busy but that’s no excuse. This is a very expensive place to eat and at the prices they charge everything should be absolutely perfect. It wasn’t and we certainly won’t be returning. The young staff were lovely and very polite and efficient. It’s the quality of the food and the numerous long delays that were the issue. I totally agree with a previous reviewer who said there are far superior places in the area to eat.

A wonderful lunch with our whole family 18 of us grand parents, children and grandchildren. Superb food and excellent service. Well done!

Lovely food and homely setting. Wonderful service and the interiors are kept beautifully. Considering you are a little way from the city, it’s fantastic to see the team have created a great group who understand customer service. Thank you!

An utterly perfect time from the minute we arrived until after our superb lunch and walk around the kitchen garden. It is such a thoroughly civilised place. Not only proper napkins but someone even took our drinks to our table. Of course the food was wonderful as was the service and the ambience. Cheap it is not but it's worth every penny.

My wife and I decided to book a last-minute Sunday afternoon dinner at The Pig. Most of the Chew Valley restaurants in the local area were either closed or fully booked yesterday. Pros: Beautiful setting, location and ambience. Folk group playing in the afternoon sunshine. Cons: Bland, uninspiring, overpriced food. Painfully slow service (despite an abundance of staff). We won't be returning, sadly.

Absolutely fantastic stay. Service was bespoke. Food sensational. Room well designed and bed so comfortable. What a treat.

Fabulous meal, wonderful service, beautiful venue. Honestly cannot rate highly enough. The food was simply outstanding and our server was incredibly knowledgeable, suggesting some gorgeous wine to accompany our meal. We dined at lunchtime on a Tuesday, so wasn’t heaving, plenty of seating. The kitchen garden is really impressive and tended beautifully. Bravo to the team, we had a wonderful time!

We finally used a voucher for lunch here today on a Tuesday. After the many negative TripAdvisor and Google reviews we were a bit apprehensive about our visit. I have to say we needn't have been worried. The venue and surrounding grounds are simply charming. The food and wine was well cooked, presented & delicious. The service was welcoming and unhurried, adding to the relaxed atmosphere. I would definitely love to return but this time ask for a table in the conservatory area or even outside, weather permitting.

We stayed here midweek to celebrate our Anniversary. Everything was fabulous. Beautiful room, superb food and the very best service. Every member of staff was friendly, informative and attentive.

We had a super overnight stay in a garden room overlooking the amazing stoce walled garden . The room was a delight and we had the most comfortable relaxed stay . The drinks ,food was excellent . The greeting on arrival and all the staff throughout were friendly ,attentive and work hard to ensure this hotel is a well oiled machine . Thankyou all and hi to Carol the visiting cat x

My daughter and her partner gave us a very generous Pig voucher for Xmas, and as we were meeting old friends in Bath, it seemed like a good idea to use it there. We live near the Pig hotel at Bridge in Kent, had eaten there 3 or 4 times, knew the food was average (at best), but decided to give the hotel side of things a chance at The Pig, Bath. Hotel - very pretty, same decor in public areas as the Kent Pig, friendly reception and bar staff. Our bedroom was a great size and beautifully decorated, but the 'ambient' lighting was ridiculous. I couldn't find anything - even with all the lights on! Seriously, coming out of the room into daylight felt as though I had been losing my sight and it was miraculously restored! I'm not advocating for strip lighting and 100 watt bulbs, but it was crazy!! Restaurant - well, this didn't disappoint - it was as average, actually worse, than the Pig at Bridge. I ordered Fish Pie, felt they couldn't go wrong with that. WELL - it arrived with a tiny portion of hispi cabbage on the side (is that in season?), searingly hot, to the point where I had to wait 10 minutes to start eating. When it had finally cooled down and I dug in, it turned out not to be fish pie, but a cheese soup under a bit of potato with a couple of bits of fish in it. It actually smelled quite nice, but the combination of heat, trying to eat what was essentially soup with a spoon and the difficulty of attracting someone's attention to GET a spoon in another very gloomy room (same lighting issue in the restaurant - and I am NOT saying I would like flood lights) meant I ate the cabbage, the potato (the bits that hadn't disintegrated in the sauce) and the three bits of fish I could find. Husband had lamb, didn't taste of much. Nice, but very expensive, wine list. Breakfast - once again, just OK. Service was not good. I gave the hotel two stars for the reception and bar staff and the lovely bar area. I'm sorry but this place is Emperor's New Clothes.

We booked The Pig for a family get together with some coming from London, Wales and Bath. Driving up the drive gave the impression of a stunning location although the cynic (and farmer) in me thought the placement of the chicken run would appeal to the masses. Anyway we were here to enjoy the food sourced within 25 miles. We were taken to our table and given menus. I chose the piggy bits to start (Hock Eggs & Colman’s Dressing and Saddleback Crackling & Apple Sauce) the Hock Eggs were ok, the Crackling underwhelming. followed by the Fish Pie (South Coast Fish Pie Agria Mash & Garden Greens) which is also what my wife ordered. Others on the table ordered the Pork Loin, Venison, Whole Sole and Confit of Duck. I have to say the Venison looked the better order. The Duck was a huge disappointment - one leg with more meat on a sparrow, the chap who had this was extremely disappointed as there was hardly any accompaniments as you are expected to pay an extra £4.75 for sides although some in our party ordered the Thrice Cooked Chips - well if they were cooked any longer there would be nothing left of them. My Fish Pie (which came with a tiny amount of greens which my Wife said was not local as they were out of season) arrived and while looked rather nice with its potato crust was lukewarm. On tackling the Pie, it was clear that what we had was actually a white soup under a thin layer of something with a few bites of fish. It tells you something when both my Wife and I had to ask for a spoon to eat the Pie/Soup with. I then had a Chocolate Mouse type thing which for £9.45 was another rip off. Probably the best thing for me was the floater coffee I had at the end of the meal. The staff, while attentive never seemed to smile - I guess they are not paid to do that as the bill comes with an already added 12.5% gratuity which you can remove if you want, how many do I wonder. We spent over £500.00 including drinks which just smacks of exploiting the public when especially they pride themselves on the 25mile food radius, £45.00 for a ribeye steak is rather extortionate compared to other establishments. I feel we paid Fine Dining/Michelin prices for underwhelming and mediocre food. To round off the day both my Wife and I got food poisoning from, what I can only assume. is the lukewarm Fish Pie. We shall certainly not be going back to this overpriced restaurant.

We were staying in the area and booked this quite sometime ago. We have stayed at The Pig near Bath and the one in Brockenhurst. So knew the food was really good and fresh. Todays lunch did not disappoint, we we collected from the lounge bar when our table was ready. Water for the table was offered, once ordered Bread and oil was bought round, the bread was the most delicious warm bread I have ever tasted! Our starters were bought out again very tasty, then the mains arrived, we both opted for a very tasty porchetta roast with all the trimmings. Throughout this the service was immaculate and given it was incredibly busy as it was Mother’s Day the service and food standards didn’t slip. We wouldn’t normally have a dessert but on this occasion we did and they were both delicious. We have had a lovely lunch with super friendly service. We would both absolutely return and would love to stay again soon 😍 thank you for a lovely lunch and the great service 😊

Overall, an underwhelming experience. I am a farmers daughter and always support local butchers and try to eat only in season food. I have wanted to try The Pig for a while as the ethos fits in with my ethos. However, visiting for a family lunch, I expected more. Whilst the property is impressive and the staff friendly, the food was average. For such local produce you would expect a reasonable cost as there are few travel miles etc. but the price is massively inflated and the dishes are not worth it. The chips in particular were very poor, thin fries cooked ‘thrice’ but with little potato left.

This venue has huge potential, the building, the setting, everything about it is perfect and was a huge attraction for me picking this place for a birthday event with friends. Sadly, the venue carries this place over the food - the food was a mixture of average to good. We had a booking for 2pm, slap bang in the middle of the day for Sunday roast and we are greeted with them running out of beef - to run out of one of your main components for a Sunday lunch booking seems poor. Service was friendly but incredibly slow. 5 of the 6 meals came out, then we all sat there waiting for 5 mins plus for the 6th meal and all the accompaniments - by this time, our meals were no longer very warm. For the cost the food was pretty average (starters and desserts were delicious) but considering everything is locally sourced and home grown - it was quite underwhelming on the whole.

First the good news, the ambiance, location and service were excellent. However, the food was poor. One dish, the pork was seventy percent fat (not marbled but fat). The dish was replaced by another choice but took 25 minutes to arrive when the other guests had finished their course. One of the childrens dishes, sausages, appeared devoid of meat and was not eaten (boxed up for the dog). The Sole whilst well cooked was extreme small. On the possède the steak was good and the childrens chicken was good also. Past experiences at the Pig have been good but whoever, or whatever, is happening on the food selection and preparation side has badly slipped. We will not revisit until some more positive signs appear

I had lunch yesterday at The Pig near Bath. The food was good, not brilliant, but good enough. The service was excellent- couldn’t fault it in any way. I felt it was rather expensive for a special fixed priced lunch. However, my main gripe was the dining chairs which were unbelievably uncomfortable. I was in discomfort the entire duration of the meal despite asking for an additional cushion and today my back is really hurting. For this reason I will not be returning to the restaurant.

Disappointing Experience for a Special Occasion I recently visited the pig near bath for my wife's 40th birthday celebration, and unfortunately, our experience fell short of expectations. Despite booking a table several months in advance, our evening started with a 30-minute wait for drinks at the bar. Once seated, we were placed in a cold corner of the restaurant and neglected by the staff throughout the night. Despite constant reminders, service remained slow and disjointed. The situation worsened when my steak, ordered medium rare, arrived blue. This resulted in a delayed meal for me as it had to be sent back to the kitchen. Additionally, the Bun desserts tasted old and stale, and the candied nuts were inedible due to being rock hard. While one staff member provided excellent service, the rest of the team seemed disorganized and unresponsive. Even with only a few tables occupied, I had to personally request the bill after the meal. While I understand that the holiday season can be demanding, it shouldn't serve as an excuse for poor service. As customers who are generally easy to please, we had hoped for a special meal on this significant occasion. Unfortunately, our experience left us feeling underwhelmed. I never usually complain, however due such poor service I wrote a polite email to the restaurant to explain our experience. However I never got a reply, which tells me all I need to know. Won’t be going to the pig again.

I’d been wanting to visit this restaurant for a couple of years and had high expectations. However we both left feeling like we’d been taken for mugs. £20 for a medium glass of Rioja! Outrageous. Being charged for tap water, £30 for lamb then an extra £5 per side. And to top it all off a 12.5% service charge. I sorely object to being dictated to as to how much of a tip I should leave. Totally manipulative because they know for a fact people are unlikely to argue the point in front of a room full of other diners. So you’re basically shamed into leaving a ridiculous tip on top of the already very hefty prices. Not entirely sure where the whole tipping the waiting staff idea came from to be honest but that is another debate! Nobody tips me for doing my job! Anyway the lamb was delicious. The rest of the food was nice enough but the £10 dessert left a lot to be desired (although the sorbet was exquisite). Definitely a one off experience for us, not to be repeated

Went to the Pig for lunch on a Monday. Restaurant was packed but despite this the service was very efficient and attentive. Had the three course set menu which came in at just under £30. The food was great and the atmosphere was perfect for a relaxed and unhurried Monday lunchtime experience. The setting and grounds are a bit special too - what’s not to like about this place?

The Pig is a lovely hotel, the house itself is very inviting with large communal areas, attentive staff and a glorious setting. It’s quite easy to while away a couple of hours in the bar or drawing rooms. I’d come back just to sit down in front of one of those fires for the afternoon. But we were there for lunch, giving the restaurant a second chance after a poor lunch a few years ago. My issue last time was not following through on its supposed principle of using its kitchen garden and only using ingredients they can “grow or rear themselves”, or source from within 25 miles. Being within 25 miles of Bath and Bristol they can clearly source anything they want, from anywhere in the world, which makes the first part of their statement superfluous. Unfortunately nothing has changed in the restaurant. Staff were charming and it’s a unique place to spend your lunchtime, but the food lets it down. The only significant ingredients which could have possibly come from their own garden, in our meal, were a couple of salad leaves, a few slices of fennel and some badly drained, unseasoned kale, which leached water all over my main dish. The food largely has the feel of mass catering with frozen chips, frozen peas and dry pastry. There were a few highlights, like our ham hock bites and roughly cut tartare sauce, but generally flavours are under powered and lacklustre. I’ve had worse meals, but what I have issue with is the prices they charge for ot and promising, but failing to deliver on, an ethos of growing what they serve. The Newt, only a few miles away, does this approach well at a higher standard of cooking for the same price. The Pig has recently taken over Barnsley House, which used to have a fantastic, vegetable focused, garden menu. It will be a shame to see that replaced by this uninspiring offering.

We went to the restaurant for lunch. Very uncomfortable wooden church pew seats with thin cushions. Not somewhere you feel you want to sit and chat for long. The food was not poor but entirely unremarkable. It's prominent claim to fame it's being locally grown. Astonishingly expensive and all in all poor value.

Booked a two night stay at The Pig near Bath as a quiet getaway for myself and my partner, staying in The Hide. The hotel is located around 15 mins from Bath, by car, in a beautiful rural location and had lots of car parking, including EV. Hunstrete House is a stunning period property and on arrival we were checked in by Ben who made us feel very welcome, told us more about our stay and then followed us back to the car to take our luggage to the room. The Hide is located a short walk from the property across the opposite side of the Kitchen Gardens, adjacent to the Potting Sheds, the Pigs unique treatment rooms. The room was cosy, complete with log burner and larder in the bedroom downstairs and a huge bathroom with roll-top bath and stunning views from both bathroom and bedroom across fields with deer. We booked dinner in the main restaurant for the first evening and enjoyed Piggy Bits and Bread for starters, followed by steak and pork mains. The food was fantastic, made with seasonal ingredients grown at the property. After mains were cleared we were asked if we would like to have pudding or cheese in on of the many ante rooms located on the ground floor. We sat in the main bar, which was relatively quiet, next to the roaring log fire, one of many around the various rooms and finished our evening with cheese. Following dinner, we returned to our room to find the bed had been turned down and the log burner lit which was a lovely end to an enjoyable evening. Though breakfast wasn’t included in our room charge, we opted to eat at the hotel and can highly recommend the Eggs Hollandaise and the Full Pig Out! My partner also had one of the Potting Shed treatments, a bespoke massage that she found really relaxing, thanks Freya! In summary, fabulous romantic location, stunning food, beautiful rooms. Would be return…hell yeah!!!

Staff on the whole were helpful but not up to scratch for an expensive restaurant ie we poured our own wine after initial tasting with no one pouring more for us. No fish knives for the incredibly salty small lemon sole. It appears they are not used here! Cooked in butter is enough for this delicate fish no overpowering sauce needed. Steak was chewy and no better than a cheap restaurant. I'm afraid to say the menu needs to change drastically . No gratitude from staff when leaving. What a terrible shame as my daughter in laws birthday...should be very special. I'm afraid once bitten twice shy.

I was given the wonderful gift of a spa treatment and lunch at The Pig near Bath, as a birthday present from my daughter. In Potting Shed no. 2, I had the best spa experience I've ever had and bearing in mind that I'm 78, that adds up to quite a few! Ella's touch was amazing and she worked her magic over 60 of the most relaxing minutes of my life. Although booked for a facial, Ella gave wonderful massage to my hands, arms, shoulders, back and head whilst the products applied to my face were casting their spell. I drove 78 miles to meet my daughter for this special day out. I would happily drive 78 miles each way again for such a fantastic experience!

We booked a bit last minute for NYE. What an absolutely fantastic experience Drinks - delicious Food - Mind blowingly good Staff - Friendly, Funny and caring I was a bit unsure about spending the money on this as it's not cheap but we really had such an absolutely amazing time. I absolutely love the rooms at the pig and we will return time and time again. Pics on my insta @lucysqueeze

As others have commented recently, the restaurant is a bit of a rip-off. Over priced and not a very inspiring menu selection. Charging £5 for sides when the mains are so expensive but just come on their own is excessive. We were charged for tap water which I initially thought was just an error and didn’t challenge but now realise looking at other reviews that it is a rather underhand tactic here which I wish I’d challenged at the time. There are far better places in and around Bath which don’t leave you feeling you’ve been turned over!

Booked Boxing Day lunch treat for 3 generations of the family. We were not alone - lots of Grans being helped out of cars and into the restaurant. Staff were excellent - warm, friendly and welcoming. We ordered Duck breast, 2 x Braised pork loin, Turbot, Pigs in Blankets. All, without exception, overcooked, dry and re-heated. They pride themselves on ‘freshness’ and locally sourced ingredients. The Hotel is in grounds surrounded by dear, woodland and wildlife - a perfect Hotel Spa setting. Hugely disappointing then that they clearly identified this Holiday service as a money maker and allowed such poor food out of the pass. I suspect that if you are a corporate, business or Porsche driving customer arriving in March for a Spa treatment, 2 night stay and dinner, your experience will be infinitely more enjoyable, tho your wallet much lighter. Seriously - how can you overcook pigs in blankets?

Disappointing lunch. The turbot was not fresh and we requested a well done pork loin which arrived pink and then had to wait for the loin to be cooked further which meant I didn’t eat with the group. Sauces were VERY salty and roast potatoes just tossed in oil. We were offering teas/coffees and Piggy Fours as an apology but I wouldn’t return and cancelled New Years Eve Lunch.

Hugely disappointing visit for what was supposed to be a celebration lunch. My steak was £44 and was unbelievably gristly. The 'thrice cooked chips' tasted and closely resembled the frozen ones easily purchased at any cut price supermarket. The salad was the best bit of the main course - a few green leaves with a bit of dressing! The creme brulee aka Trinity Burnt Cream was good but in no way assuaged strong feelings of being ripped off. I was also less than impressed post-dining that my coat, which had been taken from me when I was seated and which I assumed had been hung up with some decorum, was buried 5 deep under a heap of other people's clobber. And I had to root around for it myself! Dear The Pig - please note - must do better. Style over substance all the way.

I was looking forward dinner out with my family but such disappointment 😞 Even though, Menu choices was very basic and main menu doesn't come with any vegs, you have to order as a side dishes pay extra £4.75 each additional. I ordered pork chopped,...

Popped into The Pig near Bath for drinks and nibbles on an early Saturday evening. Excellent drinks and snacks from their bar food menu.

A lovely afternoon at The Pig. Wonderful service from staff, roaring fire and super winter garden to enjoy.

Three word review! Pretentious, overpriced, underwhelming. Overcooked chewy pigeon (but thankfully £16 worth was only two mouthfuls)! Bream was over salted! Pork loin was over 50% unrendered inedible fat! Venison was ok but again overcooked! A very disappointing birthday celebration!

Outstanding staff at Pig nr Bath. Nothing too much trouble whether a big or small order. Rupert gave a great deal of time to make our welcome outstanding. Nice to see someone taking pride in his work.

Our food was amazing - definitely a level above pub food. As a vegetarian I really enjoyed their homemade parsnip soup, followed by a main of leeks and truffles. Will be returning!

The hotel is in an old mansion near Bath. We went for lunch on a sunny October day. We were warmly welcomed and shown to a table in the conservatory. The experience was great, with an interesting combination of fine dining and shabby chic. Staff...

We had such a lovely stay when we visited the pig last weekend, Alice was absolutely brilliant on reception after doing the Bath half and suffering an injury , she was extremely helpful in helping me! Bringing me ice to the Bar for my foot...

We celebrated our second wedding anniversary yesterday with a night’s stay at the Pig Hotel - near Bath. We were treated with a small bottle of champagne in our room and a lovely note. The room was so lovely, we stayed in one of the...

Not sure how to sum up this evening of food other than it was out of this world. Each dish was well thought out and locally sourced. A smaller but meaningful menu full of seasonal treats. Bar far the pastry bun I had at the...

Unfortunately the pig is overpriced. We paid the same today for our meal at the pig as we did yesterday at the Hand and Flowers Marlow. The pig just isn’t good enough for the prices they charge. £45 for a sirloin steak and chips Is...

Stayed overnight passing through Somerset. Dinner and wine were excellent as always and our room excellently appointed too. We have stayed there a few times now, and the hotel has rapidly become a firm favourite. Their attention to detail is much appreciated.

Having been to The Pig at Bridge and Southampton we had high expectations and they were definitely met! The setting and surroundings were beautiful, all the staff were very friendly and attentive. Good choice of wine and cocktails, flavoursome food including exciting vegetarian options!

Such a shame. Feels to have dropped in standards ….. service was great, couldn’t fault the staff. The food and prices however ? Not good. £45 for a steak? It was tough , chewy and just poor. For that amount of money, I expect more...

Absolutely superb in every way, fantastic service and food carefully prepared with exquisite flavours. The whole experience from the moment you arrive is second to none. It was relaxed and attentive and delivered by hospitality professionals. The team were knowledgeable, attentive and the service was...

After receiving a gift voucher for our wedding anniversary we were so excited to go to The Pig but we were so disappointed. We ordered the “Piggy bits” for starters which were ok. But when our mains courses arrived, two Monkfish tails, one whole sole...

Just poorly prepared food at inflated prices in a very nice setting ,very limited choice .Huge wine list but all they have to do is open the bottle and pour trying to keep a straight face

A fabulous break for 5 nights! What can we say! Well the rooms are gorgeous as is the food. The facilities are great, lots to do and see. Good walks, the deer are beautiful. Comfortable sofas for reading, sharing drinks with friends and a snooker...

A unique location & we loved walking around the garden & grounds before going in to the conservatory restaurant. There also seemed to be a more casual dining area outside with tables under cover, and loads of lawned space for the children to play. The...

We had a lovely dinner at The Pig Near Bath in early July, 2023. There was both an inside dining room and an outside terrace. The service was warm and friendly. Our food was really wonderful: Pork for my husband and monkfish for me. It...

Christmas present over night stay.... Room cant complain, bathroom large with a really good shower. Grounds and garden nice. Welcomming staff but left very disappointed alot of money, for a ok experience. Sat in lounge for half hour waiting for some one to take our...

The Pig near Bath is by far our favourite restaurant. We always come here to celebrate a special occasion, (especially as eating out has become such a treat!) The food is always incredible, with a diverse menu, bursting with fresh flavours and really celebrating local...

We do love this hotel- restaurant! The ambiance is what we love most after the food, starter are a little bit small for the price but always tasteful, the main pork is our favourite so tasty and tender we have been coming over the years...

A stunning meal and great overall experience. We had a selection of food including some small bites and then a 3 course with wine, and couldn’t fault a single thing. The food was stunning, a massive shout out to Teanna for her service, made the...

Visited the Pig on numerous occasions unfortunately it’s not what it used to be . Celebrated my wife’s birthday last June and again today . The staff are lovely but I feel the kitchen has let them down . If your paying £28 for Sunday...

Visited for dinner to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary. Unfortunately despite the gorgeous venue, our experience was decidedly underwhelming. Service was pleasant and efficient but the menu was surprisingly average yet really expensive. There wasn’t anything that grabbed me from the starters menu - i...

its always been better than this. Great location, but the food and service didn't live up to it (and it's very, very expensive!) Service - we wait 20 minutes to order a pre dinner drink while staff clear glasses from the next table and avoid...

First time staying in a Pig Hotel. We've already booked to try another one in September. Everything was great, from the staff, to the rooms, to the food. Just a very lovely relaxed weekend with a young, enthusiastic, friendly staff who provided excellent service.

Stunning location on the outskirts of Bath. Staff are fantastic, total professionals and really on their game. The atmosphere is lovely and the food is out of this world. Worth every penny.

The sirloin was very chewy, the Yorkshire pudding was burnt and £8 for a very small scoop of ice cream and a ginger bread pig. Overall very poor food and very expensive. Will not be going again.

This is the second time we’ve visited the Pig and unfortunately it’s probably the last. We had booked a table for two at the dinner service, when we arrived we were surprised to see we’d been sat at a bench table, separated in the middle...

We recently stayed for two nights while attending a wedding in the area. Very warm welcome and a beautiful setting with deer in the next field. Fantastic staff who took all our luggage from the car by trolleys direct to our rooms. The room was...

Delightful surroundings (as every Pig has) and good food, but not great. The pork was tasty but I can’t help but feel he menu is overpriced, particularly the sides!

We spent a night at the Pig Near Bath to celebrate a special occasion. We had SUCH a nice room with bath and shower and sofa and everything that we could want. Decor is shabby chic, but so nicely done, and nothing needing fixed. How...

We’ve been intrigued by the concept of The Pig hotels. They are supposed to have pigs roaming the property . They have beautiful herb and vegetable gardens. Gives new meaning to “farm to table.” They must have a team of master gardeners. All the plants...

This was for a 60th Birthday lunch with 7 in the party. We received a very warm welcome from Floyd and the team. Our coats were taken immediately and we were politely shown to a relaxing lounge and cocktail bar area. The ambience and decor...

We’ve visited here many times. The staff were lovely as usual but the reason for the low score is due to the extortionate cost of a lunch. The prices have got ridiculous and sadly we will not be back. £84 for a lunch for 2,...

The venue and amenities are great. Really nice set up with interesting menu locally sourced and well presented However the rooms aren’t well cleaned twice I’ve stayed here and both times the showers have hair in them

We had a wonderful stay at The Pig. Staff were excellent, food amazing, bar with so many options I couldn’t believe it!!! The room was gorgeous, we had room 1 and it had a bath in the bedroom, four poster, room was huge! The bathroom...

We had our family meal for our sisters engagement! It was very special. Food was amazing. Service was brilliant. We had drinks before eating in one of the many lounges. The staff treated us exceptionally. 5 star.

My husband booked us a two night stay as a Christmas present. We are self employed key workers. We work almost every day and worked all the way through each Covid lockdown, so we were in real need of some relaxation to get away for...

We came with for a friend’s birthday for lunch. Staff were friendly and helpful and the food was excellent. Loved the fact that there was no pretentiousness as you might expect in a place like this - it all felt very relaxed but also very...

...but not for me. The Pig allows diners who are not in residence to join - apparently one table per setting. I'm not sure if this is communicated to employees, who we found rather distant and unwelcoming. The breakfast is good if unexciting - my...

Went to the Pig near Bath on Friday for lunch. Lovely setting and attentive, nice people looking after us. However, the food was awful, overpriced nonsense. The beetroot hummus was bland, the pork loin was so undercooked it was an effort to eat it. Worst...

We came with friends for lunch. The staff were off hand when we arrived. We were shown to our table which had uncomfortable wooden chairs and a basic wooden table. The waitress was not exactly friendly The menu disappointing all of us agreed there was...

Stayed at the Pig near Bath during the very cold, snowy weather in December 2022. The hotel looked at its best with beautiful traditional Christmas decorations and roaring log fires in every main room. Staff are wonderfully welcoming and the rooms are gorgeous and comfortable....

Have been here probably 5 times now for lunch. The building and surroundings are lovely and it has a relaxed vibe. However I felt the food was not up to standard this time. The first thing that really annoys me, and this is not the...

We have visited Pigs on 27 December for about the last 12 years, always enjoying the cosy, home from home feel, and knowing the menu will be something we both enjoy. This year however, and I’m not sure whether this is because Bath is landlocked,...

An over due lunch to celebrate our son's 30th birthday. My wife and I had been to Pig on the Beach while on holiday so thought we'd try this. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Service was just right. Nice and relaxed. Food was delicious. We...

We had an amazing lunch here, very relaxing and service was perfect. Just very small details such as the sardines needed 2 more mins cooking, the sides could have been hotter and the risotto was lovely but a bit “samey” when you had a whole...

We were catered for in the old private dining room. There was a fantastic audience in there and the setting was perfect for the special anniversary meal for 18 people. The menu choices for lunch were varied and covered all tastes from gluten-free vegetarian to...

I love the Pig hotels. I like the locations, the shabby chic interiors, the comfort, cleanliness and the super staff. For these reasons this stay was no less enjoyable, but the menu seems to have changed. I might be wrong but the choice seemed more...

I had heard good things about this place but I have to say it exceeded my fussy tastes . The staff are all on it - fully trained - engaging . The food was excellent and the 25 Mile radius menu is a great touch...

Our third trip to this particular Pig. We stayed in The Hide for the second time - it's a fantastic individual building in the kitchen garden with breathtaking views of the herds of deer. It was our 20th wedding anniversary and we arrived to a...
