First time in this restaurant and will definitely become regulars. There was set menu as Christmas and it was sensational . The choice was great but not overwhelmingly. There were 5 of us so got a real idea of the offerings as we all ordered diff courses. The team that work there are phenomenal. Really well versed on the food and wine. The wine menu was so extensive but one of the waiters guided us through it and what he recommended was really good. Can’t rate this place highly enough, only wish it was around the corner from me !

First time in Piglet on Saturday, the food was absolutely delicious. Lovely staff and atmosphere, the place is quite small and there were a few groups where we were but it was all very civilised. Impressive wine list. I would go back in a heartbeat!

The service was pleasant. Starters very good, though the pastry was not fully cooked around the pâté. The mains were very disappointing. The risotto was just stodgy and over salted. The ragu was just pork and pasta no sauce with far too much Parmesan. The music had adverts between tunes. Would not recommend.

Food was good but we felt very rushed to leave. This was all the worse as the restaurant got my meal wrong and we had to wait for that to be corrected. There was no allowance made for this and they just wanted the table back. It’s a pity because we really used to like this this place.
