The Almanac

At this time of year many of us are taking it easy after all the fun of the festivities, at THE PIG, New Forest our Bar team have been busy mixing, blending and shaking low and no alcohol cocktails perfect for those trying to cut down!

A winter getaway is often needed after the craziness of Christmas, time to relax, chill and enjoy being spoilt.

If you venture westwards from London, what could you be expecting?
