Popped in for a quick pint, wine and to buy some cheese and pork pie. Everyone in there looked happy, a great atmosphere with music, small bar but has all you need. Landlord is amazing, so friendly and engaging. We've been a number of times as a couple or with mates, same experience every time. Nice and quirky layout, slightly off the main route into town but definitely worth a drop in.
Lovely little pub tucked out of the way of the high street, much bigger than we expected it to be as it has three separate seating areas. Super cosy, unique and a great choice of drinks and snacks. This was our first visit but it definitely won't be our last!
A lovely little gem in a quiet corner. I have often walked or driven past only to think "I'll pop in there one of these days". Recently my local got flooded, which was terrible of course. However, this gave me a push to finally give 'the burnt pig' a go. I was not disappointed, in fact I was so impressed I have returned twice since. With each experience better than the last. From the 1st visit, 'Ben and co' were so very warm, welcoming. Ben is especially charming and humorous. The patrons are cheerful and the atmosphere is as if being transported to a bygone era in this quaint and qwerty setting, where everyone loves engaging in eachothers company. Even if you just want a quiet drink in the corner, there's just a positive charge in the air. Not to mention the ale and the whiskey selection and quality are outstanding, especially given the relatively small bar. Before I forget, massive fridge with a vast selection of cheese, pork pies, pastries and beers to take away. Hats tipped and off. Well done!
A really nice find. Great atmosphere and good variety of beer. Quirky decor and love the cheese fridge!
Whatever great things you have read about this pub ARE ALL true ! Once inside you're impressed by the friendly welcome by the bar staff and the array of different beers on offer. The locals are very welcoming and this admittedly quite small pub gets very busy very quickly. It's amazing what can be achieved in 3 small rooms! Quirky but traditional decor add to the atmosphere. If you are on the lookout for a friendly micropub then this ticks all the boxes. Check it out . M P.S, the Pork Pies are divine !
