   We were really looking forward to trying the Two pigs as The Boat is one of our favourite restaurants. We were under no illusions that was not The Boat but we know how passionate Liam us about service, great food and attention to detail. 2 of us had Liams fried chicken, which was just the chicken piled on a plate. One liver parfait with was served with on small slice o bread and one crab which was nice but very sloppy, more dressing than crab. For mains it was steak x2 adequate well cooked but nothing amazing. The gnocchi lacked flavour very unseasoned and in honesty bland. The cod fish was well cooked but it came with four thin slices of courgette which had zero flavour. Dessert was next we opted for 3 cheeseboard a parfait and custard tart the custard tart and parfait were the highlights of the meal. These cheese board at 12.50 was the low point 3 tiny slices of cheese one cracker (we asked for more and were told there were non left and a few grapes sliced so finely they were limp. Really poor value and in addition my cracker was so well done I couldn't eat half of it. In addition the waiting staff while pleasant were not knowledgeable about the food offering. They had to check every dish with the kitchen. The table wasn't cleared quickly drinks glasses piled up. Wexwould understand this if it was busy but the other tables in our area were empty. Also the table itself wasn't level and I had to keep repositioning my plate and glass. Overall it was a disappointing experience and overpriced for average food and service. We will go again to see if it was a one off but ther are similar venues I'd rate more highly.

   Really enjoyed a lovely lunch with family over from USA. Refurbishment great and lovely atmosphere. Staff were friendly and efficient. Food was excellent, particularly enjoyed:- Starters - scotch egg, chicken liver parfait, beetroot, whipped goats cheese and pumpkin seed. Main course - Beef burgers (good quality beef) perfectly cooked to order. Delicious chips. Deserts - Sticky toffee pudding with honeycomb, rum and raisin ice cream and Custard tart and Chantilly. Good coffee too! Would recommend and we look forward to returning soon.

   Our first trip to the Two Pigs as a family of 3. Booked well in advance for Sunday lunch. Had already browsed the menu online so had a good idea of what to expect. Staff very welcoming, attentive and prompt. All courses tasty and presented well. Food served hot where applicable. Would advise some extra veg with dinner as listed on the menu otherwise good portions. Very happy to see my favourite drink on the menu. Thanks to whoever made my gin martini aperitif just perfect. Hope the business continues to thrive. Will definitely be back. Many thanks.

   Classy and cozy atmosphere, attentive staff and friendly welcoming experience. The food was delicious and the portions were a good size. My only criticism, if pushed, was that there was only 1 vegetarian option… butternut squash gnocchi . The carnivores had a really good choice and all enjoyed their meal. I would most definitely recommend this venue and I will revisit in the future.

   Everything was beautiful, from the stunning interiors to the gorgeous food and service. We struggled to choose from the menu as everything sounded amazing so we opted for the sharing Hereford rib of beef along with a few sides and starters which is exactly how I feel this menu was intended
