Buttered & Baked
pop in for teatime in the new forest.
Warm bakes, generous plates, time to linger.
There's no set pace here. One pot turns into another, something sweet follows something savoury, and the table fills and empties in its own time. Good food, good company, and nowhere else you need to be.
This is a proper afternoon, served the Buttered & Baked way.
Gather your people and settle in.
Start with a countryside walk, or arrive early and claim your spot by the fire. The food is made for sharing - warm, comforting plates land in the middle of the table, fresh from the oven, generously buttered, and led by what's coming in from the garden and surrounding countryside.
This is about stretching out the day, arriving with time to spare and leaving when you’re ready.
A proper afternoon, served the Buttered & Baked way
Buttered & Baked at THE PIG is our take on slow, easy afternoons, the kind best spent gathered around the table with the sea just a stone's throw away.
Think freshly baked cheese scones and tasty quiches, followed by big slices of cake and proper chocolate truffles. All rounded off with a pot of loose leaf, herbal infusions from the Kitchen Garden, or something fizzy!
Available Monday to Thursday, 1.30pm - 4.30pm.

Make a day of it...
Step into the heart of THE PIG's produce, where herbs, vegetables, and seasonal crops flourish. Our guided tours take you through winding paths, fragrant beds, and rows of fresh vegetables, showing you what’s ready to inspire the day’s menu. Discover how the Kitchen Garden feeds into everything from warm bakes to hearty savoury plates, and leave with a deeper appreciation for the care and flavour in every dish. It’s the perfect start to a relaxed afternoon.
Pair your visit with a little indulgence. The Potting Shed is a sanctuary of calm, designed for midweek escapes and gentle pampering. Choose from massages, facials, or revitalising treatments that melt away tension and leave you feeling refreshed. Whether you book before or after Buttered & Baked, the experience perfectly complements a leisurely afternoon, the kind that allows you to really take your time and savour the moment.
Why stop at an afternoon? Make Buttered & Baked part of a full midweek escape. Our cosy rooms offer a quiet retreat, a comfortable base to wake up slowly, enjoy breakfast, and explore the surrounding countryside. Return for more indulgence, a second helping, a walk in the fresh air, a Potting Shed treatment, and let the day stretch exactly as you like. It’s the ideal way to pause, unwind, and take a proper break from the week.
