CLASSICS
From our plot to your plate
The Kitchen Garden team work hand in hand with our Chefs every day to make sure every plate is touched by the freshest and most authentic flavours.
With a serious commitment to the local community and surrounding area THE PIG-on the beach celebrates Dorset! The menus are written around what is available in our walled Kitchen Garden or delivered to the door from the local suppliers – creating our 25 mile menu. The menus will change by the minute, depending on what the Forager supplies and what the Kitchen Garden team deems to be in perfect condition.
Our food style is driven by homegrown clarity of flavour, true to the seasons and influenced by the Dorset landscape and our proximity to the coast.
The Restaurant
25 Mile Menu & Kitchen Garden Produce
Our restaurant in the heart of the house dishes up British Kitchen Garden food, true to the micro seasons and with a real focus on simple and fresh flavours.
Wood Oven
Drop-in flatbreads & chilled tipples on the terrace
Straight from our wood-fired oven we serve smoky flatbreads with a mix of delicious toppings to choose from throughout the warmer months on our terrace.
Menus
Our commitment to a 25 mile menu not only supports our local suppliers, but means we can be 100% honest on the provenance of our ingredients.
Take a look at our menus to get a feel for what we may be dishing up. Please note these are subject to change.
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!

Getting here
Unspoilt views of Dorset’s coastline, our 23 bedroom mellow yellow house perfectly situated along Studland Bay.
THE PIG-on the beach
By road
If you’re staying longer than a night or two, a car’s handy for exploring. Less than three hours from London, the Studland Bay peninsula is best reached via the car ferry across the mouth of Poole harbour. You can also reach Studland without using the ferry by following the B3351 down towards Swanage. In the summer roads can become congested with holidaymakers so please allow delays in your journey (but it's worth the effort). There's a free on-site car park for hotel guests.
Nearest station
A train from central London takes around two hours. The closest station is Wareham, on South West Trains' London Waterloo–Weymouth line, about 20 minutes' drive from the hotel; it has connections to Poole, Southampton, Sussex, Wales and beyond.
Taxi service
Martin from Swanage and Purbeck Taxi are a local taxi service and always on hand to get you where you need to be! Give them a call on 07969927424
Alternatively you can give Bill's Taxis a call on 07549776736 if you're needing a lift to our house.
Nearest airport
If you're needing to be within close proximity to an airport, Bournemouth Airport is 27 miles away and it takes around an hour to get there by car.
