city streets, warm breezes, deli bites

Long summer days in the Southampton

THE PIG-in the wall

This is when our city hideaway really comes into its own

Tucked within the medieval walls of Southampton, our little city-centre bolthole hums with summertime energy. The old stone warms in the sunshine, the streets around us feel that little bit brighter, and there’s every excuse to throw open the windows and let the warm 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 a glass of something cold, settling in as golden hour washes the old walls in that perfect summer glow.

Outdoor nibbles & tipples

Drop in and make yourself comfy on our outdoor terrace, nestled at the front of our home in the wall. Settle in for fresh, homecooked plates of Piggy Bits, perfect for grazing with great company on long, sun-soaked afternoons or simply sit back, soak up the sunshine and enjoy a glass of something chilled.

Swing by our deli

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.
