When you roll up to one of our PIGs, the world slows down, and that’s just how we like it. Whether you’re heading to the countryside, escaping to the coast, or just simply getting away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, everything feels a little more… effortless as soon as you arrive.
Not sure how to spend your 24 hours at THE PIG? Here’s a taste of what your day might look like…
8am – Slow mornings made better
Wake up to the sound of birds chirping, leaves rustling, or maybe even the gentle bleat of sheep in the distance (we do love a rural soundtrack in the morning!). Ease into the day with a cuppa in bed, or better yet, pull on your wellies and wander out into the garden while the world’s still quiet.
Every PIG has its own little quirks, so whether it’s catching the mist rise over the rolling Devonshire hills or watching the tide creep in at Studland Bay Beach, mornings here are all about taking it slow and soaking up the surroundings.
9am - Breakfast worth waking up for
Fuel your day with a proper PIG breakfast. From eggs fresh from our hens to our famous grazing table loaded with locally sourced cheeses, jams, and baked goodies, there’s something for everyone. Feeling cheeky? Add a Bloody Mary for a little morning spice - it’s a PIG favourite!
11am – Take a peek into our veg beds
After breakfast, it’s time to get stuck into the good stuff - our Kitchen Gardens! Join our free daily tour with our Kitchen Gardeners and see what’s sprouting, blooming, or ready for picking. Depending on the season, you might spot plump tomatoes in the polytunnels, vibrant chard in the veg patches, or rows of crunchy kale ready to be snipped.
12:30pm – Lunch, PIG Style
When the clock strikes lunch, you’ll be ready for something delicious. Pull up a chair in our restaurant, where every dish is brimming with homegrown and locally sourced ingredients.
If you’re joining us mid-week until 28th February 2025, tuck into our mid-week lunch offer from £28.50 per person, for a taste of classic PIG dishes and comforting crowd-pleasers that are honest, generous and made with heart.
2pm – Time to stretch those legs
Afternoons are made for exploring and there’s plenty to see around the patches we call home! Fancy a windy beach walk? We’ve got some cracking coastlines nearby. Prefer a stomp through the woods? There’s always a leafy trail waiting to be discovered. Or, if you’re after an afternoon spent “sitting and sipping” than we know a few local vineyards where you can taste some of the best English sparkling wines out there.
Need some more suggestions? Just swing by reception and ask our team on the day- we’re full of local secrets and happy to share.
4pm - Unwind in the Potting Shed
Tucked away in the Kitchen Garden, you'll find our homely wooden huts brimming with charm and calm: our Potting Shed treatment rooms. From soothing massages to bespoke facials, these rustic retreats are the perfect spot to recharge your batteries and simply be.
5pm – Feet up, glass in hand
Back at THE PIG, it’s time to put your feet up. Head to your room for a bit of downtime or settle into a comfy corner in the bar with a book, a board game, or a cheeky tipple (or two!).
7pm – Feast like a PIG
Dinner here is the main event, and our chefs don’t mess about! Our 25 mile menu showcases the very best of what’s in season - you’ll find zero-mile mushrooms, just-landed seafood, and dishes packed with flavours that celebrate our surroundings.
Need help picking the perfect wine to pair with your meal? Our sommeliers are on hand with plenty of recommendations and a good story or two about what’s in your glass.
9pm – Fancy a nightcap?
After dinner, why not stay a little longer in the bar and enjoy a nightcap? When it’s finally time to call it a night, head back to your room for a quiet end to the evening. Some of our rooms have wood burners or outdoor bathtubs, so you can soak away the day watching the stars or get toasty by the fire before snuggling down in your big squishy bed, and drifting off with the sounds of nature as your lullaby – sweet dreams come easy at THE PIG!
The Next Morning…
We like to take time to savour the good stuff round at our place – and you deserve to do the same. Wake up to another slow start, graze from our breakfast tables, and relish the chance to relax a little longer. Whether you’re packing up or staying put to explore the patches we call home, the day is yours to make the most of.
