The Almanac

Say hello to our new pour behind the bar, Fielden Whisky! To celebrate, we've got a tasty End of Summer Spritz for you to try at home (or at your favourite PIG!) - this is a drink made for making the most of those last golden evenings.

A hearty handful of our original gang started where it all began at THE PIG in the New Forest – including our Group Head Chefs, Andy, Lex and Kamil. For fifteen years, they’ve collected favourite memories and meaningful milestones from the kitchen, the garden and our growing litter. Here’s a glimpse into their stories…
