Simple food done well...
British Kitchen Garden food, true to the micro seasons and with a real focus on simple and fresh flavours. Our menus are driven by our Kitchen Gardens, changing by the day depending on what the forager supplies and what our kitchen garden team deems to be in perfect condition.
Kent’s distinctive character and unique combination of agricultural farmland, ancient orchards, newly planted vineyards and history of hop growing, all within casting distance of the sea, means THE PIG-at Bridge Place has access to some of the freshest local fish, locally brewed beers, amazing meats, delicious fruit and award-winning English wines in the country!
