The Pig & Sty in Ashford

We are three friends having a catch up. they were very accommodating to our dietary needs, Dressing for salad on side and no truffle oil . Good coffee. We weren't hustled to leave promptly after our lunch so could catch up in a convivial atmostphere

Excellent service...good menu choices , we had the poached oear salad which was delicious followed br Toad in the Hole whicive not seen on a nenu before..all hoos stuff....great drinks menu...good atmosphere..

The food was delicious and the staff were lovely and friendly. The decor is beautiful. This was the second time I came. The first was for Christmas dinner which was amazing.

Food was amazing and service was spot on. Gemma was very attentive to our table. Will definitely be returning. Perfect 😊

Visited this pub for the first time for a Saturday lunch. The food was good, if a little pricey, but the service was very slow indeed and we didn't get our first course until over an hour after we had sat down. Just one thing I'd take issue with. I ordered 'Toad in the Hole'. This dish should comprise sausages baked into the yorkshire pudding . In actual fact, all that was served was sausages and mash with a few greens placed on top of a previously cooked yorkshire pudding base. It was NOT Toad in the Hole so the menu description was false.

Been here a few times with mates for our pre Christmas meal, and always said to my wife how nice it was.So decided to go and try the normal menu, and it was fantastic, generous portions, great pizza, and puddings to die for. Service was fantastic from Sam and nothing was too much trouble. We will be back again soon.

We waited a long time for our first drinks order to be taken, but we had decided what we were eating in this time so ordered both. I asked the waiter if what i had chosen had milk in, as i have an intolerance, and if it could be without, which he assured me the kitchen would do it milk free. The food was nice, but again took a long time to come out. Also to add the restaurant wasn't overly busy, no where near full. Our waiter was friendly but clearly overloaded with tables. Later that evening after we had left i was ill which i think was down to what i had eaten. Which was very disappointing and worrying.

Great place for lunch, staff always welcoming and friendly. Food never disappoints very generous portions. Would love to be able to go more often.

The food was very good. Starters pork belly pieces and mussels followed by the cod dish with pumpkin tortellini served with tenderstem broccoli and toad in the hole Didn't bother with puddings but had coffees and tea which were good.

We received a voucher and decided to vist the pig and sty for the first time. The inside decor was lovely and picturesque. Being a vegetarian the menu had loads of choice i felt spoilt. The food was amazing and our server Coralie was always making sure we were okay. It was a lovely experience and would recommend it to anyone.

Amazing food, wonderful time for a family birthday

The Pig & Sty is truly a hidden treasure! From the moment you step inside, the service greets you like an old friend—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, making you feel right at home throughout your visit. The culinary offerings are nothing short of delightful; the food was a feast for the senses. The pizza, in particular, was a highlight—baked to perfection with a crispy crust and bursting with rich, savory flavors that dance on your palate. As for the ambiance, the festive décor transforms the space into a cozy winter wonderland, infusing the air with a sense of magic that enhances the whole experience. Twinkling lights and charming ornaments create a wonderfully Christmassy atmosphere, making every moment spent there feel special. Whether you’re seeking a memorable meal or simply a warm and inviting place to celebrate the season, the Pig & Sty is an absolute must-visit. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

Fantastic service ,great food and great atmosphere Highly recommend

Lovely place, excellent service, my companion really enjoyed his meal. Mine was disappointing. The coffee was excellent !

Expensive and slow service. Food cold and terrible atmosphere.

Wow! What a lovely place! The staff was fantastic especially Eloise. It was my daughter’s birthday which we happened to mention and Eloise brought out a lovely cake and candle with a happy birthday sign! Thank you! Food was brilliant, atmosphere was fab! Plenty of high chairs and colours books and activity books! A must visit!

We love coming here. The atmosphere is always buzzing, because the environment is relaxing but vibrant. On arrival, you're met and welcomed - by bar staff as you go in, and by staff who seat you and ensure you have everything you need. You don't have to wait around, they're very attentive about taking orders and making sure you feel like a valued customer. The food is fabulous! The chefs are excellent. We chose the turkey roast this time, and it was delicious, cooked to perfection, beautifully displayed, with a great choice of baby vegetables and just-tender kale, roast potatoes to die for; the turkey came in a roll with a stuffing centre, and the gravy was divine. We asked for lots, and were given an extra little jug, with exactly the same quality as before. Delicious! And the desserts are heavenly! Good coffee, too - large cups, a really satisfying blend. We come here about once a month, because we're not at all local. We have dined in the evening, been here for lunch quite a few times, and had Sunday lunch. I love the wine list - full of local wines, and a quality experience at a very competitive price. They give you water in a carafe for the table, too. I can't recommend it highly enough. Please thank the chefs for us - they are a real feather in your cap, and your service is well above-average. Thank you all!

Last minute decision on a Tuesday with the family. Everyone had a great great meal and the kids menu's are fantastic value for money.

The food was nice. The automatic service charge added to the bill annoyed us. It was a huge, we asked them to take it off the bill, found it extremely rude. The UK are protected by minimum wages and tipping has always been option if the service was over and above the standard. The pig and sty add it to the bill without asking so make sure you check before paying, you do not have to pay it, they are being extremely cheeky. I spend a lot of time in America we’re tipping is expected as the service industry are not protect by a minimum wage like we are, but they do not add a service charge to the bill, its down to the bill payer how much they leave. The Pig and Sty are greedy, so we will not return for that reason.

We went Here for food here a lot about the food when are food came it was Disappointing Food was not that nice cold. Are kids lift the food 🤔 are Bill came over £250 would no Recommend the food what we Ordered no nice at all Upset on Sunday with family

It was my first visit to the Pig & Sty today and I really enjoyed it. The decor is well thought out and there is a nice simple flow to the restaurant area - a welcoming and warm atmosphere to the place too. We had the lunchtime set menu - 2 courses for £20 a head. There’s a nice choice of 4 dishes for each course and they all sounded good. The food was really good, nicely presented, good wholesome flavours, and also nice generous portions. I’d definitely recommend the steak ciabatta main course, it was lovely. Next time I’ll be sampling a pizza cooked in the wood fired oven which is situated in the dining area.

Popped in for lunch with the wife. Brilliant pub. Great setting and decor. Food and service was absolutely spot on. 10/10. Coralie our waitress was also wonderful. Very much recommend this place

We had a lovely meal at The Pig and Sty Bethersden...Gemma who looked after us was just lovely! Would recommend this place.

Good food and generous portion sizes. Kitchen service was slow.

Heard such good things about this place amazing bread and steak etc, went with with and generally just kinda felt it was all OK, nothing special or stand out

We came for my friends birthday meal last night. We all had a lovely time. Food was delicious and the service was amazing. The staff were so helpful and friendly. We will definitely be back. I had the gut loving bowl with halloumi and vegan apple crumble with ice cream.

Visited the pig and sty for birthday celebrations as staying locally. Booking a table is recommended as the place was fully booked. We had 3 courses and each one was amazing...! Plenty of veg and meat with the roasts... highly recommend. Staff were amazing as well and couldn't do enough for us. Don't know the young lads name behind the bar but he made us feel very welcome with our after lunch drinks. My partner said it was the best pornstar martini she's had... so hats off to him. The bar was a lovely quiet place to enjoy a drink and was separated from the dining area. A good selection of drinks and food. Can't find any fault at all. Would highly recommend... just make sure you book if at the weekend!

Excellent menu, friendly staff, lovely location overlooking horses in the field . Cant fault the place.. also a huge wine list too😋 I'm addition, the wine list now shows if its vegan, sustainable, organic or homegrown....THE best wine list I've seen 🙂

Expecting great things from this place, but ignored on arrival by bar staff chatting, and food very average really. Large restaurant, very loud with chatter when we were there and i felt cold even with a jumper on. The 'rest room' sign pointed to the wrong area. Had to get up and ask for my bill as couldn't see any staff. Very expensive for 2 meals and a few drinks so came away feeling overall, dissapointed. On exiting the place turning right, you cant see round the bend, almost taken out by speeding car, i was glad to get home in one piece.

Good service and generally good food slightly offset by being above average pricing (Sunday roast £21 for single course). The Sunday roast was served with generic gourmet gravey, this is an umami style sauce ie it is not actually beef, lamb etc etc. One of the sharing dishes was a flatbread from the pizza oven, this was excellent. With a beautifully leoparded bottom. Yes would go again, advise booking it was very busy

Food was very nice although the portion sizes on the starters was ridiculous, 4 meatballs, 2 beef croquettes and 5 chicken wings for £20 lol. Also felt mugged off when 4 pots of garlic mayo came to £8, esp when the waitress took the first two basically full pots of garlic mayo away then we got two more pots without even knowing its £2 a pop. Won't be returning.

the most beautiful location this pub/restaurant is a rare find. Beautiful interiors, delicious food and wonderful service. Sam our server was polite, happy and efficient. We had Tuesday steak deal. The filet was one of best I’ve had in UK for years, we will return. They have a magnificent pizza oven and serve sourdough pizza. A wide range of no. Alcoholic drinks presented beautifully.

Food was excellent in nice surroundings and quiet reasonable prices, staff are excellent, recommended

Fabulous menu and great location, with lots of individual eating options. The menu is incredible and after trying the lamb pitta starter on a previous visit I upgraded to my main this visit!! The very patient staff were very helpful and accommodated all our requests. We will be back!!

We celebrated our anniversary here and couldn’t have asked for a better night out. Food was great quality and reasonably priced and our hostess Jade was great. Will be coming again!

Delicious food and a great drinks menu. Brilliant service (thanks very much to Jade our server) in a friendly and relaxed setting!

Consistently tasty and fresh with attentive and well trained staff. Their Sunday Roasts are by far the tastiest I have had in Kent for a very long time. The meat is flavourful and well cooked with the vegetables being tender and tasty and Yorkshire pudding light and crispy. There is plenty of gravy too!! Highly recommend this place

Very friendly staff and asked if we had any allergies which my grandson is dairy free so the waitress helped him with what food was suitable for him

Great place to eat, we came on a Sunday afternoon and the roast was fantastic. Kids menu is also very good. Will definitely be back again

This was a top notch Sunday lunch, 4 of us had roasts, 1 had a pizza and 1 had the vegan roast, absolutely no complaints at all the quality was excellent and the food was very well cooked. We had a selection of starters too and they were all just as delicious as the mains.

Fantastic Food and service from Andrew the Chef and Eloise who waited our table best meal out in a long time

Shared a delicious pizza from their oven. Warm sunny lunchtime. Beautifully decorated and the garden fabulous Pricing - I would say on the high end of the market but ambience worth it Noticed a fine separate function room. Will definitely go again

Lovely pub/restaurant, food was fab and it was dog friendly 🐾

Been here a few times and it's always good. The service and food are fantastic. The only minor thing is that the food does feel like it takes a while to arrive but that could be because it's busy and it's it's all cooked fresh.

Great food ,great atmosphere, 5 star staff

Great service from the staff, food is great throughout from the starters/sharing bowls to the main dishes.

Fantastic. Staff were friendly and attentive. Food was great. Lovely decor. Will be visiting again

Fantastic place, food is lovely mostly local sourced food to, staff are friendly, highly recommended

Perfect evening had by all lovely food

We have been since we had good references to try the beers and the pizza promotion. We have eaten pizza and calzone, which was very delicious. The guys are super nice and attentive, they gave us a chance to try the beers since we didn't know which ones to order.

Went to dinner here and the food and staff were really lovely. I had the pulled lamb for starter and the chicken kebab for main. These two dishes were generous and full of flavour. For dessert, I had banoffee pie - it was the best dessert I have ever eaten out ! My only criticism would be the Prosecco - it had a funny after taste. They need to get a nicer one in 👍 Would I go back - definitely and would I recommend- absolutely 👍

I came here here with my grammar from Belgium and we all loved your food. (especially me) From Oliver Age 10

Gemma was an absolute delight! Made sure our party was very well looked after. Food was lovely. I’m afraid my eyes were way too big for my belly and ended up having a doggy bag for later. Big thank you to Gemma❤️

We literally pulled in off the road as we were going past it. Great find, fantastic menu, so much choice we all struggled to decide which of the great singing dishes we would have. The freshly baked sour dough pizzas smelled really good too. Only downside is there is a 12.5% service charge added, which in a £100 bill you feel. It is discretionary, but I paid it.

We allways enjoy this place. It is light and airy and on a hot day (yes we did have one) it is relatively cool and welcoming. The staff are friendly and we give a special mention to Gemma who was friendly, helpful and attentive throughout. Food was excellent freshly cooked and well presented. Will be back.

Lovely lunch with a HUGE menu served by extremely friendly staff. Gemma and the girls were very attentive and nothing was too much trouble, cannot fault this restaurant. We will be back!

Party of 34 for my daughter’s 13th birthday! Both food and service were of an exceptional standard. Both Jessie & Jade were amazing and ensured our event ran smoothly! Nothing was too much trouble and was so bubbly and happy! The vibe was brilliant and the whole party throughly enjoyed the afternoon! Thank you so much!! Xxx

Delicious Sunday lunch and wonderful staff (Lily) who looked after me, my husband and baby. We both had the roast beef, cooked perfectly and generous vegetables.

Delicious Sunday lunch. Thank you. Lily our sever was brilliant, attentive and quick to respond.

We regularly visit being local we enjoy the food staff always friendly great atmosphere our favourite waitress Eloise always greets us with a friendly face she is adorable.

Sam gave us brilliant service, the best I have ever had eating out. Will most definitely be coming back. I came for dinner on a first date and it went brilliantly.

Food was very nice and well presented, the service was good, the staff were very polite and friendly , very quiet at 1pm on wednesday.

Beautiful food and great service ,

Really slow service and it wasn't even busy. Food average

Food was ok. Good range on the menu. Venue was lovely

Great meal out for my wife's birthday. Staff all lovely. The overall service however was the let down. Everything, even simple things took a long time to happen or arrive. The food was great and we left happy, the service / working practices need to be tweaked.

Great food, great service and a really nice garden to enjoy them both.

Lovely place with beautiful garden for drinks overlooking fields. Food was OK but my chicken kebab wasn't particularly nice and was cold by time it reached me. Incredibly poor service throughout with first drinks taking almost 30 minutes to arrive. This was poor as we were an early booking due to having children with us & hardly any customers in on arrival. Took nearly 3 hours for a 2 course dinner. Customer service needs to improve. I have also heard this from several others who have visited. They didn't charge for the chicken kebab when I complained & removed service charge but the poor customer experience is not acceptable.

Had a lovely experience celebrating my birthday here. The food was amazing, and the staff were lovely. Will definitely return again soon.

Food was great no complaints about the quality of food. 2.5 hours wait for main course to be brought out. 25 minutes wait for drinks. Told 10 more minutes which turned into 25 minutes, very bad service.

Very nice place.. lovely atmosphere and food was fantastic.

Such a wonderful girls lunch - we ordered numerous starters to share, and the prawn tagliatelle. Plus a carafe of the Bacchus! Sam was great - epic service and really relaxed and professional. Thank you!

Always a great place to eat like all the Elite group pubs.

Good food and atmosphere and reasonable prices

We have been to this restaurant on many occasions, but yesterday we were very disappointed with the meal I ordered a calzone as I love this meal but yesterday it came out warm not hot and had virtually empty just a lot of cheese . Very disappointed

Absolutely lovely gastro dining, the atmosphere, service, and food are excellent, easily the best place to relax and enjoy the lovely surroundings, food and wine.

Great food and decent beer selection.

Great food, well priced, but whatever you do don't sit outside. They have a terrible system where guests that eat outside are less important and don't get any service. Literally order at the bar, get your own cutlery and no table service.... But oh, price of the food is the same lol. Really didn't appreciate that, all guests dining in your establishment should be serviced otherwise I'll just my own roast at home in the garden, same bloody thing! 😂.

It was OK was waiting a long time for someone to take our order. The food 😋

We have been coming for a long time to the Pig and Sty but on the last 2 occasions the wait for drinks,food and dessert was awful . They seem to have had enough staff so not sure why we had to wait so long. Shame as we won't be coming back soon.

My wife and I were celebrating a special occasion. The Pig & Sty made a very pleasant change from the usual takeaway menu's. What looks like a quaint little country pub from the outside. Transforms it's self into a well perportioned restaurant with outside sitting area overlooking a field that had horses grazing for the nicer weather. We really appreciated the food and wind were as far as possible locally sourced. The menu took into consideration all choices dietary options. The wine list consisted of a good selection of locally produced vintages. Overall we had a very pleasant evening made all the more pleasurable my our server George who was attentive without hovering over our shoulder trying to rush us. We booked our table for 6 pm by the time we were ready to leave around 7.30 pm. I'm glad to say the restaurant was almost full. I would highly recommend that you give the Pig & Sty a try

We recently dined at The Pig and Sty in Ashford and had a fantastic experience. I ordered the chicken pie, which was perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor. My wife had the burger, which she described as juicy and delicious. Our waiter, George, provided first-class service, making the meal even more enjoyable. We highly recommend The Pig and Sty for its excellent food and exceptional service.

Sam was absolutely fantastic, he was charming and charismatic and the cherry drop was phenomenal. Amazing experience and will be back again

Went in for some post-work drinks. Sam recommended a strawberry dacquiri, gave us all some fab yum drinks!! Will be back again

Great service from Sam, recommend drinks and very helpful! I had the velvet colada, happy hour was a great deal too! Definitely reccomend :)

We had a lovely lunch at the Pig & Sty. Our waiter Sam, was great and made us great cocktails with love. We will be back, what a great welcome.

Went for early dinner as we know food is served all day. Excellent choice on the menu! Lovely food and lovely service. Thanks to Jade and Vicky for serving us with a smile and humour. We will definitely be back!

Great place to eat for a treat but on the more expensive side for us. Especially as 12.5% is added as a service charge even though it says discretionary it should be at the customers discretion to add not take off! Food was excellent and our server George was attentive but not over the top. Atmosphere was good and premises well maintained. Please remove discretionary added service charge it’s intimidating if you feel obliged but can’t really afford it. Staff should be paid accordingly not rely on tips

Waitress taking the order did not write anything down - 3 starters arrived but the 4th arrived after everyone else had finished - there was some sort of cock-up with the order but no-one came to the table to tell us. My Sunday Roast - potatoes over cooked and the whole thing smothered with gravy. My wife's Pizza was undercooked and the pastry was soggy. There were mistakes in the drinks order.

I only popped in for a bit of food on my way through, and I was pleasantly surprised by how good the customer service was there. I was served by Sam and he was amazing - great customer service, and nothing was too much, he was attentive and polite. Literally could not fault him. Thank you. Definitely planning to go back - food, environment & staff are worth it!

Visiting the local area and opted to try The Pig & Sty. Received a warm welcome on arrival and was looked after by George. He was professional, attentive and nothing was too much trouble. Food was delicious and portions generous. Hope to visit again when in the area. Keep up the good work George & the rest of the team.

Excellent service very polite and helpful food was brilliant and came out quite quick served by Yaz who was excellent and came over a lot to check up

Excellent environment for a refreshing pint. Sam was a great and efficient. Great service and friendly environment..

Great service at the bar walked in and Sam was excellent at greeting us poured drinks in a friendly and timely manner Awesome experience 10/10

Another lovely lunch to celebrate mums birthday! Delicious food and fabulous service from the lovely George! Thanks so much

Food great . Apparently this waiter with the tash seems to think he can add service charge on top without asking ? Very rude when I wasn’t going to give extra service charge when it’s already been added once in the bill and wasn’t happy with my sevice by him. So 2 fillet steaks 2 cokes cost £99 no fillet steaks are £35 each =£70 plus pepper corn sauce and 2 drinks comes £85 . Not £99 Don’t appreciate being over charged.

Fabulous cocktails, and amazing service by Chris at the bar highly recommend , food great to and not badly priced . This is the perfect place to go for something special

I have visited many times and each time the food and service is superb This time I had the Pork Ramen and it was absolutely delicious. Such a great variety on the menu. Always fresh, hot and the restaurant is spotless. Jordan and Sam are...

Great evening with wonderful food in a restaurant that has great staff and amazing atmosphere. ………………………………………………..

With a special birthday to celebrate and a limited choice of decent restaurants to choose from on a Monday, we easily narrowed it down to The Pig and Sty. We had three delicious courses, succulent local lamb for my wife, Caroline, and chicken and ham...
