Food
We’ve got an obsessive commitment to home-grown and local produce: simple food done well
It’s all about the Kitchen Garden
Everything we do at THE PIGs is driven by the Kitchen Garden. It’s the beating heart of the operation, with our Foragers, Gardeners and Chef working hand-in-hand to find, grow and create our menu of uncomplicated and simple British garden food.
With an obsessive commitment to homegrown produce and a serious love of all things local, we work closely with passionate suppliers in our surrounding area who supply anything that we cannot grow or produce ourselves, creating our 25 mile menu.
With miles of both countryside and coast, we are spoilt in West Sussex with fresh local produce that is caught, grown and reared right on our doorstep – fresh fish that has been caught in the English channel, meat from local farms, organic eggs from just down the road, seasonal fruit and veg from local growers, artisan cheeses from small-scale producers and juices and cider from family-run craft breweries.
With one of the warmest and driest climates in the UK, diverse soils and south-facing slopes, West Sussex is quickly becoming known for its perfect conditions for growing grape varieties found in sparkling wine. Not only will THE PIG-in the South Downs be growing 4000 vines of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier, but we will also have several award-winning vineyards on our doorstep, alongside local distilleries, Sussex orchard-grown cider and craft breweries supplying our bar.
Our commitment to a 25 mile menu not only means we support and shout about the suppliers of Sussex, but means we can be 100% honest on the provenance of our ingredients.

Supplier Shout Out
Over the years we have been lucky to support some of the very best local suppliers to each of THE PIG hotels. What ever our Kitchen Garden teams are unable to grow themselves we source from within a 25 mile radius - creating our 25 mile menu. We love who we work with and carefully select them so we can be 100% honest on the provenance of our ingredients, and be sure that what we are dishing up is the very best around. Take a look below if you want to support our network and shop local!
