The Pig
The Pig
The original Pig hotel, set in a Georgian country house on the edge of Brockenhurst, with its famous Kitchen Garden restaurant inside and a relaxed terrace serving small plates outside. Dogs are not allowed inside the restaurant or lounges, but are welcome with you on the terrace when it’s open and around the grounds.
If you can’t book ahead, the small plates terrace menu often slots in walk-ins. We turned up after the Perrywood loop and were seated for 1.30pm without a booking.
