THE PIG-in the wall

Spring at THE PIG‑in the wall

Tucked within the medieval walls of Southampton, our little city-centre bolthole hums with new-season energy. The old stone warms in the sunshine, the streets around us feel that little bit lighter, and there’s every excuse to throw open the windows and let the fresh air drift in, preferably with something chilled in hand.

Days are for slow breakfasts and mooching around the city’s shops; evenings for slipping downstairs for deli-bar plates, and settling in as golden hour hits the walls just right.

Outdoor nibbles & tipples

Drop in and make yourself comfy on our outdoor terrace, nestled at the front of our home in the wall. Tuck in to fresh, homecooked plates of Piggy Bits, perfect for grazing over with great company – or simply sit back in the sunshine with a glass of something chilled.

What's on the deli-bar menu?

At THE PIG-in the wall, we are all about relaxed deli-dining, rather than the full PIG restaurant experience. Daily deliveries from THE PIG in the New Forest (just 20 minutes away) and nearby Hampshire, Dorset and Isle of Wight suppliers keep menus changing, with deli salads, pies, quiches, Piggy Bits, sharing boards and sweet treats.

Why not pop in for brekkie?

How do you like your eggs in the morning? There’s something grounding about a proper good breakfast - plates piled with morning goodness, coffee poured generously, and nowhere you need to be.

Events & Live Music

This season at THE PIG's is about good food, great company and the occasional soundtrack.

Across our patches closest to THE PIG-in the wall, we'll be hosting live music evenings, relaxed garden gatherings and seasonal events that celebrate what’s coming out of the ground right now. Take a peek at what's on down the road...

Step Outside: Spring Walks & Garden Wanders

There’s no better time to explore than in spring. Right from our doorstep you’ll find rolling countryside, woodland walks and gentle rambles that show off the New Forest at its freshest – from blossom‑lined lanes to bluebell‑dotted woods.

Our team has pulled together some of their favourite local walks, perfect for working up an appetite before lunch or stretching things out after breakfast.

Golden hour: Buttered & Baked

After a long, countryside ramble, there’s only one sensible next step. Settle in for Buttered & Baked - generous, comforting and proudly un‑fussy, ‘perfect-for-3pm’ kind of moreish treats.

Think warm, savoury, cheesy, buttery bites and plentiful homebaked sweet things to finish. It’s the perfect pairing for a mid-week spring wander, whether you’re staying the night or just dropping in.

Have teatime, THE PIG way

Unwind in the Potting Shed

Our treatment rooms are some of our favourite spots to hide out, tucked away in the peace and quiet of the Kitchen Garden. Sinking into a massage, facial, or scrub while the rest of the world does its thing feels like a really good kind of treat.

It’s time carved out just for you.

Outdoor eats at the Garden Oven

Simply rock up and grab a table to join us for an afternoon bite or a quick drink – there’s no better place to down tools and settle in for some garden-inspired grazing and a cold one!
