The Restaurant at The Pig in New Forest

Lovely as a treat. Friendly, informative staff. Delicious food. Surprised by the smoked onion tobacco, yum! Super cocktails.

Only had lunch, didn't stay at the hotel. First time visiting and wouldn't go back. Not a lot of atmosphere for such a lovely setting and an expensive place. Could do with some chilled live music or at least a playlist on. Service was friendly enough, but they forgot one of our side dishes yet still printed it on the bill. The menu wasn't very exciting and the prices are wild. I went with the bbq octopus and I should have just stuck to drinking wine because the food was so unpleasant. Such a small portion but didn't matter anyway as it was tough and chewy with not a lot of bbq flavour or seasoning. The rest of the dish with the butter beans and chorizo was so rich and sickly. I tried some of my friends sirloin steak and that was very chewy. That in itself as a meal was over £50! Just another style over substance place where the rich hang out.

Beautiful grounds and lovely staff

The room and location were wonderful, as were the staff, generally. The experience was, unfortunately, let down by the restaurant. The provision for gluten free was woeful, with very few options. The food service was slow, and the restaurant was very noisy and crowded. Lastly, we had expected great things of the food. Some of this was good- the fish dishes- but other elements - chicken, sausage, and, surprisingly, the much-vaunted vegetables- were very indifferent and disappointing.

Stayed here 1 night and had dinner in the restaurant. The service was excellent thanks to brilliant but not overly attentive staff. Food was fabulous and we can't recommend the whole experience highly enough. If you want a treat this is the place

Hard to fault this restaurant when we visited for lunch. Service very good with a friendly and attentive waitress and the whole ambiance is very relaxing. Food good and the menu interesting. Our monkfish tail to share was excellent, falling off the bone and succulent. Not been here for some time but won’t wait as long for our next visit.

We met up with a friend to celebrate her birthday but she got held up for over 40 minutes in traffic. Staff were very accommodating and despite the fact that the restaurant was busy (on a Monday lunchtime) and we were late, they made sure we could enjoy our lunch in a relaxed way. The staff were all welcoming and friendly. We ate from the Kitchen Table menu and the food tasted fresh, with some very nice touches to make it interesting. The ham terrine and lamb shoulder were delicious and my husband enjoyed his fish soup. The desserts weren't too sweet and so the flavour of the ingredients shone through.

Absolutely fabulous stay, food superb. Loved the garden tour and chat with the Head Gardener

Went for a mid week special "Around our kitchen Table" and the service and food were suberb. James our waiter explained the menu and went through all the ingredients and was attentive and informative at every stage. The food was fresh and blend of flavours simply delicious. If you go you are in for a treat.

We heard great things about this place but were somewhat disappointed. The menu was quite restricted and one of our party had great difficulty in making a choice. Service was quite slow and sometimes it was difficult to get a waiters attention.

Probably the worst dinner and breakfast I have ever experienced.

Delicious lunch in a relaxed environment. Great welcome.

Fantastic! Food, service, staff are first class. Josh, Daniel and the team are absolutely brilliant.

The PIG – Brockenhurst is a haven of relaxation and charm, perfectly nestled in the heart of the New Forest. The atmosphere is delightfully laid-back, making it the ideal spot to unwind and soak in the beauty of the surroundings. One of my favourite moments was sitting on the terrace loungers as the sun set, glass of wine in hand and great company by my side – pure bliss! The serene setting, paired with their impeccable hospitality, creates an experience that feels both luxurious and effortlessly welcoming. Whether you’re exploring the forest or simply looking for a tranquil escape, The PIG – Brockenhurst is an absolute must. I can’t recommend it highly enough – it’s a place you’ll want to return to again and again!

Great restaurant with food sourced from within 25 miles. Lots of wine available and also beer and cocktail menus. The staff are very attentive and service is excellent. It gets very busy and bookings are essential. The only drawback is the restaurant area gets very loud due to being in an old orangery, making it difficult to hear when it's busy with large groups. But there are quieter areas which could be requested.

Wow. Best meal.in the UK by Far. Top 2 in the world 🌎

Buzzy atmosphere with good service.Laudable limit to ingredients used to 25 miles. Although interesting menu I did not really enjoy or find memorable the vegetarian options I chose

We went to the Pig hotel in Brockenhurst Hampshire. What a place, surroundings, food, staff, couldn't fault it, will 100% be going again. Big up to Gary on reception and arrivals, Top gent. Polite, Freindly couldn't fault again

A wonderful experience at the Pig in Brockenhurst, it’s a scenic location, this one has more of a Manor House vibe. If you’ve been to the other Pigs, you’ll know the food always very good, however I must point out the menu is more or less exactly the same in all the Pig locations, which is a shame because you think they would change it up based on location to attract customers to dine at each one. Therefore I think the reason why you would choose to have a meal at this location is for the change of scenery. If it’s cold out, try to get a seat in the greenhouse section of the indoor seating, you’ll get nice views of the gardens and trees. If you’re getting food, don’t forget to try out the home made scented oil and smokey salt on the sourdough bread. It’s a nice change, it certainly stands out to everyone we speak to. This comes with every table for free.

My husband and I visited on Thursday for lunch. We both chose the 3 course set lunch menu. Everything was perfect! Sourdough bread, crab, plaice and trifle! Service was efficient and friendly. Warm welcome on arrival. We could fault it - thank you!

Lovely meal for my daughter's birthday. Party of five tried a variety of fish and meat dishes. OMG - sooo tasty. Some complex flavor combinations. Children's menu was available for the less developed palate. Highly recommend!

Apart from great food in a lovely Resturant the team here are most accommodating. My brother was over an hour late as he got lost in the New Forest. No problem for the Pig they were very chilled and just fitted us in when he arrived. Not easy when the Resturant was packed. The food was super and service as good as ever

Really, really disappointing visit. I was so looking for to it as The Pig had been on my ‘would like to eat at’ list for years. Overall the food was ok- but nothing special. It was the service that ruined the meal. Our main waitress was rude- no welcome, no offer to help with menu, forgetful and at the end of the evening she threw the bill at us- without saying a word. We were in shock. I should say that the other staff were pleasant- before dinner we were served nice drinks in the bar by the team there and the waitress who brought our food to the table was delightful. The setting is beautiful but it’s not worth it when the food and especially the service didn’t match. I won’t be returning and I definitely won’t be recommending.

A disappointing shadow of its former self. We used to be regulars at The Pig and The Pig on the Beach but haven't been for a few years due to having children. We loved it and used to sing it's praises. However, we went today with our two young children and it seems to have gone significant downhill. The experience was quite disappointing to be honest. Firstly and most importantly, the service was really slow with very long waits. Examples: - We were offered butter for our children's bread and ended up asking again after 15 minutes. - Our childrens' mains were served around 10 minutes after ours, we can only assume they forgot to cook them. - We asked for an extra couple of minutes for our 2 year old to finish her main (given it was served later than ours and piping hot so we had to wait for it to cool) and the waitress didn't come back for 20+ minutes. - The waitress then finally cleared our plates and it was another 15 to 20 minutes before we were offered the pudding menu. And a further wait before we could order. This was frustrating enough but it got worse. About 10 to 15 minutes into the wait for our pudding to come, we were approached by a member of staff who looked like a manager and told they needed the table back for the next guests and we needed to leave. We said we were still waiting for our puddings and were told we still needed to leave our table, despite the length of time we had been there being entirely due to the poor service. We, 2 adults, a 2 year old and a 5 year old were then escorted from the restaurant and sat on a sofa in the lounge with a tiny side table (no where for us or our children to sit and eat properly) and eventually served our coffees and puddings. An absolute disgrace to be honest. A NOTE TO THE MANAGER AND THE INDIVIDUAL WHO FELT IT APPROPRIATE TO EVICT US FROM THE DINING ROOM - If you need the table back by a certain time then A) you should have informed us, and B) you should ensure your service was up to scratch and prompt. Secondly, the toilets were simply dirty and smelly. With children we had to visit them a lot over the 3 hours we were there and they remained dirty and smelly throughout. There was one gents cubicle that we just couldn't use because of the state of it. Thirdly, the menu was lacking a lot of choice with only one pork dish (at The Pig!?), no chap, no crackling. All the old favourites had gone and were replaced with a disappointing lacking selection. The food itself was okay but not what it once was. All in all it feels like prices have increased a lot and service and quality have decreased even more significantly. Cost cutting greedy owners I feel. We won't be in a rush to revisit and will have to find a new 'nice restaurant'. Very disappointing. I should also say, I did explain this to the person who took my payment (not in uniform so I assume a manager) and didn't even get an apology.

We have visited the pig now many times and have always booked when we are planning a holiday near to the new forest. Sadly this visit not as great as we have experienced previously, food ok but not ‘wow’ especially for the price. When presented with the bill noticed £1 was added and when queried this told it is a charity donation- we were not informed at any time of this charity ? So this is wrong to just add this to a bill - customer should have the right to know this . Not sure we will be returning.

Overall fantastic experience! The food was amazing, loved how they focus on sustainability and locally sourced ingredients. I particularly loved the gardens and decor. The staff made us feel very special as celebrated our engagement. Thank you for everything, I could not recommend the Pig in the forest enough!

We had an incredible time celebrating my partner’s birthday; gorgeous property, brilliantly appointed, magnificent service, and the pepper & goat cheese pappardelle is the best plate of food I’ve had in the UK

Really nice food, but the service was so slow. We had to ask multiple times for everything we ordered. Yes it was busy, but it wasn’t heaving and they had more than enough staff to ensure good service. Pretty disappointing.

Fantastic place. 5 stars from me. The chef Andy is brilliant

Review for the restaurant only. A really impressive restuarant, the food was delicious, with very nice staff and a great setting. Ihad the pheasant which was absolutely delicious and my companion also very much enjoyed the steak and kidney pie.

Was expecting something special for a partners birthday surprise, extremely dissapointed with the food , not what I was hoping for a celebration tbh , turned into a dampener on the evening

All brilliant. Everything attended to .

Went for a late lunch to use a voucher given as a present. Service and setting ok without being exceptional. The food menu we found confusing and the food itself okay but.. My horseradish mash didn't taste of horseradish and my partner's pigeon schnitzel seemed more like a large chicken breast. Both items tasty enough in themselves

The decor is most peculiar. Went for dinner. The hostess was indifferent but the waiter was nice. The starters were all heavy, no healthy option. The main was good. The sides were small.

Had the most wonderful afternoon experience here; delicious farm-to-table lunch, friendly staff & service, incredible ambience in the bar afterwards for cocktails and beautiful walk around the estate. Highly recommend!

Very pleasant lunch. Overall very tasty. We were talking too much so apologies no photos. We had the lilunch offer. Fish stew was a 7 out of 10. . Just didn't have the wow factor. My cauliflower soup was excellent. Friends said their terrines were delicious . The Pig beer was really good ! The faggots were very tasty . . We couldn't finish them. . The Almond tart to finish was just lovely. . . All in all, we were blown away when we went to Pig in the Downs. . This one didn't quite hit that mark but still a pleasant afternoon with friends. Certainly not a cheap one . Drinks really rock the bill up here.. we will return to The Pig. It's always a warm and welcoming service. Sitting in front of the fire is the best way to waste a chilly autumn afternoon.

Beautiful forest location, great atmosphere and memorable food plus a top team... what's not to like?

Came with my son for a charming night. Was greeted by a lovely gentleman who directed us to reception to get checked in by another smiley and upbeat gentleman. As a high standard housekeeper I found the room spotless from the moment I stepped in. The small luxury village vibe was gorgeous. Dinner was wonderful and the young lady serving us accommodated to my gluten allergy very well. Was a lovely experience overall. Thank you.

What an amazing place. I was a bit sceptical about coming after reading the previous reviews. We came for our 30 th wedding anniversary and had a complementary up grade. Gary was great as front of house giving us a bit of history as we walked the Hog House which is gorgeous. Drinks in the different lounges was very cozy and relaxing. The supper was tasty and faultless. Service was on point, so I’m not sure what other people expected in there previous comments. We will definitely be trying the other Pigs out around the country. Thank you also to the lovely bubbly lady who served us at breakfast 😊 and what a breakfast it was. Again amazing. To all the staff at the Pig. You really did make our anniversary a special occasion.

My husband and I had an excellent dinner at The Pig. The food was delicious, and the staff were attentive and knowledgeable. Our drinks took a while to arrive (which didn't bother us at all) and were subsequently removed from the bill which was a thoughtful gesture. Would highly recommend!

The Pig has been a special treat for me these past three years but hearing a few bad reviews I though Id check it out myself. Location is stunning and The Pig has always struck me as a high quality restaurant with an imaginative menu. Lots of locally sourced food. This would mean the menu changes regularly but to be honest it is starting to get a bit too set on the same old dishes with seasonable veg. The food is still quite good although the ray was overcooked - a fairly amateurish mistake and the soup was not very hot (but maybe some people prefer that), But the lasting memory I shall have was the really terrible service. Its slow and the staff just have no interest in keeping the customer happy. For the prices they charge it simply has to be better. Our 'nibbles' arrived at the same time as the first course. And the coffees arrived before the dessert. They seem to be relying on their reputation (which is starting to wane). Some serious thought needs to be given to the menus and, above all, they need a manager to train and inspire the serving staff.

We had heard so many positive things and looked forward to an enjoyable lunch to start a short midweek break in the New Forest. We were disappointed - it was okay but overpriced. The staff were pleasant but the service was slow. We were pleased we had booked a twelve o’clock table as we were aware of the service getting slower as time passed. The food was well presented but the servings small. It is in a good location but I will not be returning.

Well overpriced for the food. It’s a lovely location but the food isn’t that special especially for the price tag. Coffee was awful too. Our table was really late and despite asking 4 different people for an update no one came back to us. There are better cheaper places in the area.

Love this place. Lots of walks and nature on your doorstep. Wild deer and horse, lots of trails

Our first stay and definitely won’t be our last. From the minute we arrived the staff were attentive and welcoming, rooms are lovely and the hotel has a lovely country house vibe. Sadly we didn’t have time for the kitchen garden tour but did a quick walk around and will try to get on a tour in future. Location wise the hotel is quietly located but a 10 minute drive into Brockenhurst. It is possible to walk but the road has no pavement so caution is advised. There are a number of walks advertised in the hotel, one of which we did and again this was great but does require a short spell on the road to start/finish as there is no direct forest access from the grounds.

Fantastic food in a stunning location. My only gripe is the driveway, one car wide, which is just awesome when the car park is full of leased Rangies.

Clearly only after people who were staying with them. Left in a side room, we were told we had to wait for table service Half an hour later, we got served. Only offered a very small and not worth having menu. Even though we said we requested a full meal. Glad to get out of the place was made to feel unwelcome

Lovely welcome and shown to our table, waiter/s could not have been more attentive. Love a bit of Bolly as an anniversary toast. Having been before and talked to the gardener ladyI was intrigued to taste her tomatoe dish. Well, it raised the bar for me coockming my own tomatoes, fantastic taste. I had the pork chop which was the most tender and succulent chops I had ever had, my wife was quiet and into her monkfish, veg was delightful and fresh. As for dessert, I had fig leag panacotta which had cherries, very delicate fig flavour and my wife had smash in your fach chocolate mouse with alcoholic prunes. All so totally heavenly. Absolutely no rush to get you to ;leave and we are planning a return. Thanks to the cheff and all the staff who helped make it a grand occassion.

We had an excellent anniversary meal. Great service and very good value. The lamb main, in particular, was really terrific.

Truly very nice hotel, grounds and staff. However, you would expect breakfast to be included if they are charging £450-£550 per night. NO BREAKFAST. Ruins the experience really, highly disappointing.

Had a lovely Sunday lunch yesterday. The food was quite delicious and the service attentive. The beetroot soup was excellent, as was the tomato risotto. Monkfish and pork were our main dishes and they didn’t disappoint. All in all, a lovely afternoon. Thank you!

I completely references the last two reviews as our experience Very dissapointed Waited 25 mins for drink Veg swimming in water Monkfish taste of bq which I brought to attention bit nobody was interested Over rated place poor service and if hadn't had a voucher wouldn't have paid Good points --- beautiful lounges and setting outside

Okay, expectations certainly not met. Wallet definitely emptied! Starters - very bland and expensive. Mains - good all round, but again expensive. Desserts - a disgrace. Pointless and tasteless. Service was direct without any personal touch. One point lost for starters, one for desserts and the final point lost for the "discretionary" 12.5% service charge (almost £40) - which was removed as nothing special! Total bill circa £350 for FOUR people - I feel there are certainly better places to eat.

We frequented The Pig when first it opened - and offered the fare which its name suggests. It still provides decent food but of the now mainstream word-heavy smart gastropub cliché. But nice enough. What has changed at The Pig is the atmosphere - that is almost condescending and suggestive that they are actually doing you a favour letting you eat there for the £100 per head it ends up costing. The service was also slow - both bar and at the table - even when not heaving. Nice location - a little tired and past its best. And they served warm champagne………

First time visit and we was welcomed at the door and escorted to the bar as I needed assistance with my wheelchair so that I could enjoy my visit, staff were patient and polite through. The Pig has such a nice ore about it in its style and pretty spacious. Room for me to navigate around. Food was awesome lovely variety of food and waiting staff knew the menu and explained it well. Could not have felt more welcomed. I had the lamb steak which was perfectly cooked and tasted lush. Could be deemed as a little expensive however the quality of the place and the food makes it worth it.

Went here to celebrate a birthday lunch. It was a delightful experience. The food was delicious and all locally sourced, much from their own garden, the ambience was comfortable and the service was attentive, friendly and professional.

My wife saw the restaurant on TV and we booked for her birthday treat. We got there early and had a cocktail outside and a wander around the kitchen gardens and grounds which was nice. We were also treated to some small nibbles of salami and pickled vegetables which was excellent the service was spot on. When our time came we were shown into the restaurant where the service there was a little mixed. Having to ask to be served bread when those around who were seated after us was on their second or third serving, ask 2 or 3 times for some ice. Small thing I know but when you see staff walk past and specifically look and see your small plate hasnt been used not once but numerous times and no one asks, poor service they seemed a little more attentive to tables with room keys - (my perception I people watch). The food was lovely each course was not over priced, that said there was two pork dishes on the menu that are standard pub food pork belly and pork chop perhaps something a little different from "The Pig" could have been created. But thats only my view and doesn't detract from the food served. We had the Fishy bites as a bite on Smoked Ox tongue which just melted in the mouth and Beet Cured Trout for starters, both I would have happily eaten again. Mains was the pork belly and grilled Mackerel both very good I had the pork belly with a garden salad. All in all was a nice place and good meal minor points on service would i recommend of course.

This place is amazing and I would absolutely come here again and again. We came for dinner and the setting was beautiful, service was friendly and speedy, food was delicious. Cocktails were yum and we went for a walk in the kitchen garden afterwards which was stunning. A real treat and so worth the money.

Really beautiful place to eat. We had lunch, and it was one of the nicest meals I've had for a while. Great location and building. If this place was an animal, it would be a peacock. A peacock that shaking it's tail feathers. While wearing a sequin leotard.

Great welcome from gentleman at front of house. Beautiful dining space , unfortunately we chose a table in a corner, which may have led to feeling overlooked at times. We did get our drinks on the house as the till was misbehaving, and lovely gentleman at front of house attentive as ever. This was a special treat for a friend , luckily her food was good. The piggy’s were soo small and average, cold and overpriced. And my gnocchi was overwhelmingly bland and hard , but my husbands pork chop was amazing , and he loved his sorbet. The real star of the show was the kitchen garden, the wonderful lady gardener was so charming. She had all the warmth and welcome, that sadly our waitress did not. We came away really enjoying our time at the Pig, but for totally different reasons than I would have thought. We had heard such great things from friends, and visit the Pig in the Wall often. Perhaps it was simply just a bad day. Lovely gentleman who took our picture was also very welcoming , so big thank you to him.

Popped into The Pig at Brockenhurst on a Sunday, early evening - no greeting, a band playing outside , no tables available (fair enough, we hadn't booked) took a stroll around the walled garden which was lovely. Came back settled into the Drawing Room for a drink. Eventually went and found a member of staff to get a menu as none was forthcoming - said give us a couple of minutes to peruse. 15 minutes later we'd waited long enough being ignored. Left for somewhere that valued our business. Shocking lack of service.

My wife and I have just had a meal at the Pig restaurant near Brockenhurst. The building and surroundings are lovely but the dinner had so many things wrong. The tables are too tightly packed together. Whenever a waiter/waitress attended the next door table I was treated to a large posterior in my face. We had a number of questions about the menu but the waitress was far from sure about being able to answer. Instead of asking someone else, we had the impression that she was guessing and very quickly left our table. It was only when the waiter at the next table explained more fully to his customers that we realised that our waitress had missed out many descriptions of our choices on the menu. When our starter arrived the presentation and taste were plain. We could have bought the items from a supermarket and stuck them on a plate and it would have looked the same. When our main course arrived we had the same impression. The food was plain and likewise the presentation. We decided that we would not eat anything further there especially as my wife found a large (old) crack in her dinner plate after eating her main course. Lastly, this meal was not value for money. We felt that we were paying for the surroundings rather than the quality of the food. We have had some great meals on our holiday in Lymington but this was by far the worst.

We visited the Pig at Brockenhurst for lunch as a special treat for my wife’s birthday. Before lunch we did a kitchen garden tour in the extensive grounds. The young man who conducted the tour was excellent & gave us a real insight into how the garden team helped supply the restaurant with much if not most of its fruit & vegetables. His knowledge, enthusiasm & passion for his job was clear to see. We were impressed. After a lovely cider in the bar we went in for lunch & were given a nice window table. We shared a starter of Roasted Heritage Carrots. We couldn’t believe such a simple dish could taste so good. For mains my wife had an aubergine dish which she enjoyed & I had a Tomato Tart which was so colourful to look at I had to take a photo of it. For dessert we shared a Raspberry Batter Pudding which was very filling. The raspberries however tasted like they had just been plucked straight from the bush. Outstanding food washed down with a tasty Malbec. The hotel is set in beautiful park like surroundings. A very relaxing place to enjoy a memorable meal.

The food is all that it pretends to be and a bit more. All dishes tried were excellent! Pudding was remarkable too. A comprehensive wine list and very good service. If anything, it gets a bit hectic with lots of customers and small children do not help... otherwise, fantastic!

Great services and great information on all ingredients

Lovely location, ideal for a spot of lunch and dog friendly in the garden. Super choice of cocktails, wine and craft beer together with tasty flatbreads!

We had dinner at The Pig and loved it. The pork chop was delicious but the star of the show was the chocolate tart with coffee ice-cream. We visited with our 5 month old baby so needed a bit of extra time and the staff were very welcoming. There were lots of side rooms with comfy chairs so I was able to discreetly feed. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Had dinner here for my wife's birthday, and we were both very happy with everything. All of the staff were friendly and welcoming. Their 25-mile menu is unique and means that everything you eat and drink is locally sourced. The meal was of high quality, and we would definitely come again.

The service, ambiance and food were divine, I had vegan dishes which were absolutely delicious

Lovely location, helpful staff, great food, plenty of parking, beautiful building.

Fantastic food in an idyllic location highly recommended

Automatically added a 12.5 % tip

Excellent meal on a very busy Saturday afternoon. Exemplary service, ambience and, of course, food. Yes, it is expensive, but for an occasional treat, it is well worth it! Standout chocolate tart w coffee ice cream 👍

Visited the restaurant many times as the venue is obviously lovely, but I think this was the last time. The food has never been exceptional but this time we were asked to move to the lounge after we declined desserts. We were only at the table 70 minutes with more than half a bottle of wine to finish. Seriously sub par in terms of high end restaurants.

Luxury experience in beautiful surroundings!

Hands down Best meal I’ve eaten in the UK! The vegetables were fresh and juicy, so was the meat (slow cooked pork belly) and the cheese cake with orange sauce and edible flowers was to die for!! Definitely coming back!

Super friendly place and great cocktails. Easy parking and a relaxed atmosphere

Great restaurant. Enjoyed the “25 mile” menu. The lamb was exceptional. My only advise is to order more as portion size is smaller so get some extra starters and sides. The tobacco onions and pork crackle was also excellent. Kids menu was ample too. Fairly priced.

Booked ages ago, husband explained my food intolerances and when arriving at the restaurant they weren’t prepared at all. Menu not accommodating and choice of 1 starter (which was poor) and main which was ok if they hadn’t served it with buttered potato. Feeling quite ill and now what was meant to be a great evening with my husband ruined. Can’t recommend at all and won’t be back. Their menu says let us know about allergies but they won’t do much with it at all when you tell them even days / weeks in advance. disappointed

My go to place a meal or simply a drink in the New Forest. Difficult to beat on quality. The pork crackling is next level!

Visited for dinner. Great service. The waiter recommended a really nice cocktail based on what I said I like. The food was delicious. Be aware, the portion sizes are small so it is advisable to order at least one side with a main even if you tend to have a smaller portion at meal times.

Just had the most amazing meal at The Pig in the New Forest. A first time visit for us and certainly won’t be the last. A warm welcome and friendly service. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was perfect. To top it off we were dropped off to our hotel by the lovely Guy, to avoid the long wait for a cab. A perfect end to our anniversary celebration. Thank you, Lucy and Jo x

Beautiful hotel, horrible service but really lovely.

Worth the trip, full stop. We experienced the bar and restaurant, great bar atmosphere and delicious food. Strolled in, waddled (happily) out.

What a gem. This place is a MUST do if you are in the area. I had the pork chop and my heavens was it out of this world. Never had a pork chop so tender and juicy. Had chips with it and onion rings. My daughter had Goat cheese Ravioli, my sister had the Beef Chuck and my brother in law had the Lamb. Everyone was very happy with their food. We had cheesecake for dessert and chocolate mousse. Service was great and we felt completely welcomed. Definitely a repeat when we come back to the area.

Didn't stay at the hotel, but checked out the bar and the restaurant. Firstly, there are a load of rooms to lounge about in and have a drink before or after your meal (or just generally). Dinner itself was lovely. The beef tartare was genuinely one of the nicest I've ever had. The wine selection is extensive too, there's something there for everyone. My main - goats cheese ravioli - was a bit on the light side but I was actually happy about this as I wanted something less heavy. The staff were super friendly, and we had a lovely time. Definitely looking at other Pigs now to see if we can visit another.

Ambiance and staff were fantastic, unfortunately the food was average, light bites starters were ok, the nettle and potato soup lacked any taste and the Hake had no flavour especially the sauce, new potatoes were so hot they had obviously been in the microwave, my wife hade the Risotto that looked like a green porridge, she did leave most of it and this was removed from the bill.

Great atmosphere but sorry dinner did not live up to expectation.

Visited for a weekday lunch for our anniversary. The conservatory was half full and wound up around 3/4 full later on, I have seen some reviews that mentioned service but at this level of capacity the service was perfect. Everyone we spoke to was kind, friendly and passionate about the food and wine. We took recommendations from the sommelier for wines and our server for some of our dishes and we were impressed with all of them. Everything we ate was delicious and we sampled A LOT of the menu (3 small dishes, 2 starters, a main and 2 sides) and were impressed with everything. Even ingredients I would usually avoid as I don’t love them were impressive. I didn’t think I fancied any of the desserts but given how impressed we were with the other dishes we took a punt on the tapioca pudding and piggy fours, despite not being fans of two of the ingredients, again, all were delicious. It isn’t a cheap lunch out but perfect for a special occasion. A lovely setting, attentive staff and delicious food.

Amazing hotel with excellent service and food. Highly recommend coming here

An incredible place!! The reputation for quality is so well deserved! The pricing is every fair value in my opinion! Somehow The pig manages to provide top tier quality, comfort and experience but without formality or pretence! The staff are super friendly, polite & knowledgeable! Fully recommend!!!

This is the second time my wife & I have visited this particular Pig & again it was a great stay. Very friendly welcome by Dan on arrival who showed us around to Bert's Box, which was a very comfortable Pig typical stay. Very clean with a few extras, which was lovely. We had dinner in the restaurant which was excellent, with plenty to eat. The staff were very friendly & attentive & I'm sure we'll be visiting again (once we've been back to some of the others again, that is)

Overpriced and underwhelming, brought my mum here for a belated mother's day lunch as was recommended to do so, I think this place still trades on recommendations, as quite honestly it's outrageous how they can charge what they do for the size of the portions, I ordered a goat cheese pasta and 4 pieces of thin ravioli in a cream sauce with some random beetroot purée around the edge was delivered, the other plates were equally underwhelming, and the wine list doesn't bear thinking about unless you've a pre approved mortgage, shame that mother's day was forgettable, I won't be returning,

Lovely place however I always struggle with the restaurant menu here it's fancy strange non traditional stuff. Being a pig I would love some sort of Pig speciality or meat speciality like a hog roast or some selection of cooked meats. Service is very good here. Lovely place just something missing. Maybe it's a Spa.

Overall had a great stay (and food was fab) but wouldn't write home about it. Gorgeous bedrooms but missed the finer touches of some newer places (Elcot park etc) with complimentary pantry, luxury washing products. Bar area is great but the restaurant is very expensive - for a £120pp dinner I'd expect better service and experienced staff. Service was poor and management didn't seem on top of it (esp at breakfast). Overall we had a good stay but overpriced and misses the finer touches.

Of the hotel itself, very relaxed, nice space - very clean and comfortable. Staff excellent generally - well informed, friendly and go the extra mile. One of the people working out with the animals gave my 3 year old a quail egg, which was a delight for the little one.

Hotel Room Perfect, Location Wonderful, Cocktails 5*, Food didn’t match up. So, arrived on a B&B deal. Upgraded the room and it was spectacular. Immediately super happy and relaxed. We also booked lunch & dinner as it’s in the middle of the new forest on a rainy Jan day. We were only there for 24hrs so decided to settle in and enjoy. Lunch was nice. A good lunch but was on the 3 course deal, so I expected it to be restricted and it was but perfectly nice. We ordered a bottle of Chablis and just enjoyed the ambiance. There are bikes to enjoy so we have a quick explore for a few hours post lunch and then went for pre dinner cocktails. The cocktails were excellent. Perfect Bloody Mary and negroni. The staff changed after the first and so we thought the second might not be as good but they were also excellent. Very well trained bar staff. My disappointment came with dinner. It was the same menu as lunch and I had what I wanted at lunch. I was getting my second choice and it wasn’t enough choice to get excited. Biggest gripe was limited veg choice. Broccoli in butter was really the choice. I want choice ..,, left dinner underwhelmed and wishing we had ventured out for our second meal. Breakfast wonderful and staff too.

Special occasion celebrating our daughter’s 30th birthday with a lovely paced lunch and tea in the library. Amazing food, ambience and service and a special thanks to James. Big thank you 🙏

Started off with drinks in the bar. Lovely warm atmosphere and excellent service from everyone we met throughout the evening. Dinner was incredible. We had some ‘bits’ to start. The mushroom vol au vents were a particular favourite. I had the beef stew and garlic mash and my partner ordered the pork with thrice cooked chips. The meat was tender, flavoursome and good in portion size. As it was my birthday I enjoyed a little extra sweet treat, just as well as we had no room for dessert. We finished our drinks in the lounge. Highly recommend this restaurant. We look forward to returning, probably in the summer months and will look into visiting the other venues in the future. Thanks to the staff for their brilliant hospitality

We love The Pig Brokenhurst. Cosy atmosphere and beautiful decor. Everything is so clean and well thought out & the hospitality is wonderful. The food, wine, cocktails & coffee are fantastic! We love the 25 mile menu - everything is selected from 25 mile radius of the hotel. And their veggies & salads are fresh from their gardens. We highly recommend a visit!
