    Delicious food as always! Family friendly venue with a kids play area at the back. Daughter enjoyed her “frog in the pond” for dessert.

    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.

    The meat in my BBQ roll was really dry. Whatever BBQ sauce there was, it was a very, very small amount and had soaked through into the bun. I ordered the cornbread donuts with cinnamon sugar, maple syrup and ice cream. These were AWFUL, they were burned to a crisp and could not even be pierced with a fork to pick up each individual piece. Total waste of money. They were nowhere near the consistency of a donut. Onion rings were pale and didn't seem to be fried for long, they were very pale.
