Big Pig Little Pig was amazing. The food was fresh, delicious and well priced. Good selection of beers on tap. The process to order at the counter was a bit challenging and the specials weren't clear. We will definitely be back. We had a group of 5 people and we all loved the food.

I saws having beaky and sat at the back (inside) around the corner. I wanted to place an order but there was no one to speak to as no staff walked past that area or came to check if people seating in that area needed anything. The only way to speak to a staff member wS when the went outside completely ignoring people seating inside at the back. Staff are friendly and helpful.
