The Pig At Combe - Reserva de mesa

Can 't say I 'd been impressed with any menu on the 'net before attending but friends wanted to take me for a 'special ' birthday lunch. I remember Combe House in the 'olden ' days a real treat and fabulous cordon bleu food tried not to compare with that but.....definitely not worth the ....1 non alcoholic drink, 2 glasses of Bolli 22 a glass. 2 venison with no potatoes and only 1 small portion of red cabbage on the plates, and 1 lemon sole looking very lonely with nothing else! 1 glass Pinot Noir and tap water. 1 pear pudding and 2 coffees over 200 plus helped themselves to 23.66 'discretionary ' service charge. but with no mention of that! The menu was illegible the print being far too sma...

I’ve eaten at The Pig a few times and was once again disappointed in the quality of the food and mediocre service. We dined in the Georgian Kitchen which is one of their private dining spaces which has a lovely ambience, but is let down by a very poor service. The waiter and sommelier were both lovely when we saw them, although despite asking for another drink during the evening and getting a nod from the waiter, it never arrived. It’s almost that as you’re in a private dining area which is away from the main restaurant, you get forgotten. The food was ok, but certainly not fine dining and overpriced really for what it is. Starters were lovely, but mains very average with the risotto so over...

Waited for ages to come down but we were very disappointed. Beautiful surroundings, fabulous gardens. Staff were sloppily dressed in jeans and discoloured /greying shirts. They were pleasant when you could get their attention. Had to ask for a drinks menu in the bar before lunch. No butter arrived with bread. Had to ask for it. Beef was fatty although it tasted nice. Had to ask for gravy/jus twice. Had to ask for horseradish none offered. Two meals arrived with veg. None with the fish. No one thought to tell us that it didn’t come with any! No one asked if our meals were ok at all. The deserts were not inspiring and we passed. We had no idea what Piggy Fours were as they were in the ice crea...

We went Sunday November 5th for my partners birthday with friends. We had table 8 a nice table for 4 just inside the main restaurant. Having read some of the reviews I can agree with the 'only one slice of bread ' no butter, but really isn 't that being petty. If you wanted more bread or butter I am sure if you asked they would serve it. Anyway, we had an amazing lunch. Beautiful food, excellent choice of wines and first class service from all the team that looked after us. A shout out to Alicia, a sommelier. She along with the team made it a very special Sunday lunch even more so. I think sometimes people expect the team in a restaurant to be mind readers. We found the moment we engaged wit...

The Pig has it all. Beautiful romantic setting Stunning period buildings, parkland and views. Tastefully decorated and comfortable dining and reception rooms. Outdoor drinks and dining are available in a choice of very attractive settings, heated by fire-pits and braziers. The menu, whilst not extensive, should have something to delight most diners. The quality of the food is very good and this is reflected in the price. Some very good wines are available. Service is attentive friendly and efficient. However a slightly bum note is sounded by the Oliver Twistian allocation of complementary bread, whereby a very small morsel of the sourdough is presented to each guest individually via the tong...

As always fabulous location nicely kept and lovely atmosphere. Service is consistently good with well trained conscientious young staff …….although I think I heard « that’s amazing » too many times from staff members! Given we were served by six people during our lunch it becomes perfunctory and rather tedious. All well intentioned but avoid OTT! Food is OK but sensed portion size much reduced bordering on mean, particularly the Walled Garden Salad. Also general presentation off the pace. However despite possibly mixed feelings as to the value equation on food it’s largely offset by the overall ambience….. but The Pig must take care in a very competitive scene. Interestingly lunch service we...

Beautiful building and surroundings but underwhelmed by everything else. arrived half hour early as advised for a drink in the bar. Eventually shown to our table 50 mins later. Food was gastro pub rather than fine dining. My ox tongue starter was too dry and felt like it had been prepared earlier and left in the warmer.. The main a pork chop in a dijon sauce was fine my partner had the plaice on rainbow chard which was also fine but nothing wowed us. It might help as well to have lighting from the car park , as finding your way on a cold windy night can be treacherous. In their defence the wine list was good. In summary if you want reasonable food in lovely surroundings this is for you, if y...

If this was our first time there wouldn 't be a second What was going on I don 't know poor service No butter for the bread until we asked Water did not turn up Clearing the starter plates before one of us had finished Asking us to pay at the bar because it is 'easier ' for the staff The food has been better in the past I had The Pigs smoked gammon hock with braised beans and garden kale 27 pounds The ham was tasteless, the beans OK and I am still searching for the garden kale Lets hope it is better next time Reserva una mesa ahora

Wow, what a magical place! Our friends who live in Devon Heaven booked so that we could experience how wonderful the Pig is! We all loved it. Beautiful restaurant, exceptional helpful knowledgeable staff who were well trained! Scrumptious nibbles, starters and mains …too full for desserts. What a beautiful place. Highly recommended

Fabulous food, great service and the surroundings are breathtaking. Great vegan options. My one critique would be a lack of vegan desserts. We ordered the vegan oat bake which was £15 and served in a teacup! It was tiny and very overpriced. Apart from that the rest of it was superb and I would highly recommend it.
