The only fault was we wanted to do the tasting before the food. The lady taking us through the tasting was a little too enthusiastic and I think they missed the mark in that we didn’t get to enjoy a glass of wine with our meal.

We had a lovely family birthday lunch on the weekend. The Pig and Whistle staff were always friendly, happy to answer questions. served a cake we brought from home, provided us three candles and lit them for us. The pub ambience is very relaxed, not noisey and the lunch servings were generous. I highly recommend The Pig and Whistle.
