Celebrating Valentine’s Day was made even more special with our dinner and experience at the Milton Wine Bar. Apart from the food being delicious, there was so much of it - definitely value for money. Being out the back with light rain falling on the corrugated roof also added to the ambiance of the evening.

Big Pig Little Pig was amazing. The food was fresh, delicious and well priced. Good selection of beers on tap. The process to order at the counter was a bit challenging and the specials weren't clear. We will definitely be back. We had a group of 5 people and we all loved the food.
