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.

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

Having previously been to The Pig at Bridge, in the wall and near Bath this Pig lived up to our expectations! As always, very friendly welcoming and attentive staff, quality food, expansive wine menu, beautifully decorated and cosy atmosphere. Looking forward to visiting the remaining Pigs on our list!

An absolutely wonderful evening spent at The PIG in Brockenhurst - again! The whole evening was a totally relaxing experience. All staff were friendly, helpful and relaxed - but professional. The meal itself was superb. I can honestly say that I have never experienced a better beef carpaccio than the Black Angus Carpaccio served up to me, and the Beef Cheeks main course was mouth watering. The white onion soup and squash tortellini were equally well received. We'll definitely be coming back when next in the area!

The venue and our room were very nice; great facilities, but not cheap so expected. We found the food disappointing however. We had booked 2 dinners and breakfasts and were underwhelmed with both the quality of the food and service. The breakfast bar was often empty of fruit and pastries which needed requesting to top-up on more than one occasion. The sardine starters for dinner were not particularly meaty and on a thick soughdough bread which you could not cut easily. Our mains were average in terms of both quantity and quality; meat tough. Service was mixed; some staff were helpful and cheery, others were surly to the point of rude. So disappointed were we with dinner that we chose to eat elsewhere on the second night. Much better. Probably not again as expensive and poor food.

What a fantastic hotel. First time staying at a Pig and would definitely go back. Staff and service was first class. Bar staff were superb - even preparing a special cocktail for my husband which was not on the menu. Food was delicious. From check in and the warm wemcome we received we knew we were going to have a fabulous time.

We had a lovely lunch today from their 25 mile menu. Absolutely delicious. Lots to choose from, we started with nibbly bits with our drinks, lovely selection of gins available. Starters and then main courses. Food very nicely paced, not rushed at all and service was lovely, attentive but not too much. Our pork and beef choices were delicious. Too full for dessert, but nothing really caught our eye anyway. So we left the table and had our coffees in their lovely bar lounge area. A real treat of lunch, not cheap but very nice for an occasion. We had great table by the window in the conservatory, lovely tranquil views. Grounds and surroundings are truly lovely.

We had been wanting to visit The Pig in Brockenhurst for some time as we were really impressed with their Studland Hotel so we had high hopes. The venue is beautiful. Our table was not ready when we arrived but that was fine as they asked us to wait in the lounge. We were shown to our table about half an hour later. The restaurant was nice and busy and had a good atmosphere. However, our table (along with a few others) had been placed by the pillars and looked and felt like we were in a walk way, it was not easy for the staff to get past our table. It did not make for a comfortable/relaxing setting. We ordered tempura veg with lemon mayo for appetizer - they look a bit like shoe string fries, quite tasty but some were a bit hard. Starters were beetroot & mozzarella salad (a bit tasteless/bland and presentation not great) and Bresaola (which I was told was ok) . Our mains were the monkfish with chorizo - this was nice, however, my main was the squash tortellini and this was not good. I could tell it was overcooked just by looking at it as the tortellini had lost its shape and looked anaemic. i tried some but it was very soggy, watery and little flavour. The person who was with me also tried a bit but they agreed it was inedible. I spoke to the waiting staff who took the plate away but then they came back to advise they spoke to the chef who advised that's how they serve it and that there was nothing wrong with it? I was offered to choose something else from the menu but by that time the other person had almost finished their meal. I was also offered a free desert but I didn't want a pudding. Such a shame as we had been looking forward to visiting here for a long time. If i was looking for somewhere nice to eat in the New Forest area, I would go back to Limewood as The Pig did not compare in the slightest.

Oh dear, went here for my friend’s birthday celebration lunch. Dreadfully slow initially and then they tried to fob us off with whole meal bread as sourdough with our starter. Staff kept banging into my chair every time they passed through the squashed together tables, very annoying. We complained and quite rightly they took something of the bill. Really was disappointed and felt they are relying on the lovely location to make up for the poor everything else. Won’t be going again.

We had visited several years ago and thought it would be a nice place to go back to for my Wife’s 40th birthday. We were met on arrival and shown to the bar to wait, whilst we waited for a table to become free. We had booked but it was very busy and we didn’t mind the wait. We were eventually shown to our table, in a slightly cramped corner of the busy restaurant. Orders were taken from a great looking menu along with another round of drinks. Food was delicious, seasonal ingredients with a local touch. Drinks took an age to arrive… I think the problem was the number of staff that deal with each table. Although all staff were attentive and meant well, we dealt with 4 different waiting staff so orders or general queries were missed repeatedly. A simple order of one glass of Champagne took 30mins and several prompts. Overall, loud, slightly chaotic and generally underwhelming for what should have been a special occasion. If you’ve never been, give it a try, but after that maybe look elsewhere…

I have not been for a while and was pleased to see it was as good as always. We were lucky to get a late lunch table at short notice. This restaurant is that good that it often books out weeks if not months in advance. The Cods roe and Brock eggs (quails eggs cooked in scotch egg style but runny in the middle) were excellent pre starters. The beef carpaccio and trout tartare starters we very enjoyable. The Angus slow cooked beef was superb. Polished off with an exceptional "full monty" cheeseboard. The ambience was relaxed and jovial. The service here is at a standard that others aspire to. Not cheap but I really don't mind paying for this excellent experience.

We stayed in Pig Lodge 1 , was a bit disappointed at first as was told the log burner was not working and was surprised it had no bath just a shower , however the staff here are so helpful and was able to rectify the burner situation (which just seemed a communications thing) and even offered a room change if we wanted it . We really enjoyed having the mini kitchen though so decided to stay in lodge1. We enjoyed lunch on the first day and thought the food was better than the one near bath . Our winter escape included breakfast at the hotel which was really nice , I wasn’t keen on the peas on toast though so wouldn’t try that again . They left eggs, cereals , beans , bread and jam in the lodge so you would have enough to put together a breakfast if you wanted. The bed was super comfy and the room was very quite . What really made it 5 stars was when we came back to the room after a day out all the washing up was done and fresh bread left which was an unexpected treat ! Would recommend the room just be aware that the 3 lodges are adjoined and the gardens not separated , wasn’t an issue in the winter but might cause you some concerns in the summer . Think would pay the extra for Berts Box if went again so could enjoy both a bath as well as a kitchenette .

We stayed for a couple of nights and loved The Pig: it's friendly and relaxed, and the service good. The rooms are beautifully styled in Victorian chic - think F&B olive green, William Morris wallpaper, black iron radiators, and a high chain flush toilet in the white tiled bathroom. The bar has a relaxed pre-dinner vibe and focuses on cocktails - my favourite was the Garden Spiced Margarita which is fantastic. Dinner is in the buzzy conservatory and the menu is varied and interesting as you might expect - highlights included the cured coppa with sauerkraut and monkfish with chorizo dressing for example. I liked the curiosities section of the extensive wine list which has some real left-field finds. Breakfast is probably the best I've ever had in a hotel. Oh, and there are great walks nearby to work it all off.

Very disappointed, booked for my dad’s 80th after recommendations from 3 different friends. Menu was very limited if you don’t like seafood. Drinks didn’t come as ordered. Main courses were very small, as an example 2 of our party ordered Tortellini and received 6 pieces of small tortellini with little sauce. The rice in the Risotto was still raw and the Parmesan flavour was overpowering. One of our party had the mullet and it had no flavour, he did speak to the waiter and a supervisor came and asked if he wanted a replacement but we’d had enough of the place by then and don’t want to wait for a replacement.

Table booked for 2.15pm When we arrived we were asked to sit in the lounge for a short while while they prepared the table, which we did, we then waited, and waited, and waited. We managed to catch the eye of a waiter delivering drinks to other guests and preferred some pre-dinner drinks. Oh and we waited a bit more Got to our table about 3pm. Staff were friendly and helpful Food was good, although poor selection of desserts Service was ok, but slow. All in all quite disappointing considering how well people talk about it. Felt more like they were living off a reputation rather than considering the service they were actually providing. Such a shame as we’d truly been looking forward to it.

The Pig, New Forest has fast become a firm favourite for our couple trips away. If you appreciate beautiful surroundings, being in the heart of the new forest woodland makes for amazing walks. My partner and I particularly like the lodges, a little more secluded - Luxury bedrooms with incredible beds, lovely turn down service with a Pig special ‘hit the hay’ tea. While staying, treat yourself to a treatment in the potting shed, found through the kitchen garden, a tranquil space perfect for a bespoke massage (Heidi is amazing) The restaurant is quaint with a truly lovely atmosphere - The food, is always incredible, they have a 25 mile menu, with emphasis on their home garden and local produce, everything is always delicious. To top it all off, what makes the Pig somewhere we will return time and time again, is the team, everyone is consistently fantastic, friendly, approachable and genuinely lovely. We look forward to our warm welcome and our chit chat with them all whenever we stay - thanks for making us feel like we’re returning home every time we stay with you! We look forward to many more lovely stays in the near future. Roxy & James

Renting a house nearby and were looking for a nice meal after a long day travelling etc and we’re certainly not disappointed. First impressions were great, a pleasant approach to an old manor with a warm and friendly reception as we entered. Service from that...

What a fabulous place for a belated Christmas present. The Pig is in a beautiful setting and we had a very warm welcome.

The Pig at Brockenhurst is a luxurious country house hotel, made even more exceptional by its impeccable, friendly and welcoming staff. Originally a forest-keeper’s lodge, the house dates back to 1602 and has been beautifully refurbished with deluxe rooms. This was the first Pig (several...

Great food in relaxed beautiful surroundings. As it’s name suggests the pork dish was delicious but the veggie options were equally yummy.

Elevated casual celebration dining. Beautiful surroundings. Food is exquisite and plentiful. Service was spot on. Pricey but worth every penny.

First and perhaps foremost, ALL of the staff who looked after us were superb, friendly, professional and supremely competent. This is a wonderful plus point. However, and this might be a generational point, the establishment failed to live up to our anticipations. I just did...

We thoroughly enjoyed our lunch at The Pig. We were slightly early, and enjoyed a pre-lunch drink in one of the gorgeous lounges, and were then moved through to the conservatory. Being summer holidays, there were several families with kids, and it was very buzzy...

Great evening at The Pig in Brockenhurst. Superb meal in a lovely setting - we ate in the Orangery/conservatory space. Service was professional, unrushed and friendly. All in all, a wonderful experience in a superb location.

Ridiculously overpriced Monkfish, that was returned to the kitchen. The replacement Sea Bass, was at best a child’s portion. Image over substance, best describes this restaurant. Will not be returning.

We had the most fantastic overnight stay here, the staff, Debbie, Steve, Carl and everyone else went out of their way to make our visit special, they even put the racing from Cheltenham on for us. We had lunch, dinner and breakfast- all fresh and very tasty. The White Rabbit has a lovely atmosphere and really does punch above its weight in comparison to its competitors. Loved it
