The Pigs

After visiting the pigs for meals and staying many times before I can honestly say it is with a very heavy heart that there won't be another time 💔 I booked here for my 40th birthday with my work friends on 29th of May. We had to pre order 3 weeks before. We were then told 2 days before the event that the menu has changed and some of us need to pick something else from the new menu. Cutting to the chase... the new pre orfered food arrived stone cold, they had a power cut half way through the meal. The staff were lovely and friendly however I just feel embarrassed and gutted all this happened on my birthday meal. So for that reason it has now put me off returning unfortunately.

My food was cold on arrival at my table. Not wishing to make a fuss, I was with my family. I ate what I could, not much. I have recently become disabled (double amputee) so going out is a rare treat for me. Such a shame. Yes they took the meal off the bill but I would have preferred to be able to eat it. Same on the table next to us. Basic problem. No Yorkshire pudding, anaemic roast potatoes. Pig in blanket inedible the bacon was so salty. My son couldn't eat it either. A real shame as it is one of a few places near to me that has disabled facilities.

What an amazing and unique experience. The whole setup is centred around you and the staff could not be more welcoming. We stayed one night in a Spa suite room. The Sauna and steam room were to die for and I think I lost my wife to the luxurious deep bath. The bed was so comfortable and the ambience of the room was perfect. The food was superb, especially the jam roly poly. I will definitely be back for that. On the evening we sat under the stars on our own private patio. The wood fire crackling away and smores in abundance. My wife also sends her thanks to Mimi for a wonderful, caring massage. To everyone at The Pigs a huge thank you. I would highly recommend this to anyone wanting something special and slightly different.

When you walk into The Pigs you are greeted with a genuinely warm welcome, regardless of who sees you first or who you are. The staff treat everyone equally, which is rare these days, they are friendly, efficient and make you feel as though nothing is too much trouble. This was our second stay at The Pigs, we were lucky enough to have 2 nights this time. Everything was perfect, the room was spotless, the steam room and sauna heated up quickly, the toiletries are divine, the towels are huge, robes are snuggly and fit both of us. The heating is easy to use and the room was toasty warm. We had 4 meals, all were of an exceptional standard with generous portions and again, excellent staff serving. The buttermilk chicken with pancakes for breakfast, the black pudding scotch egg, the 'marathon' (I seriously want the recipe for that!) were all stand out dishes, and I ate so many of the little black pudding sausage rolls on the first morning I couldn't move for hours, they are pure heaven. The beds are huge and comfy with a variety of pillows. We also had a couples massage (how lucky we are!) which was the icing on a very decadent and wonderful cake. Thankfully we have a night booked in February, the night after we get married so you could call it a honeymoink (instead of a honey..moo..n, sorry, I'll stop there). The whole experience was perfect, thanks to the team and please do pass on our compliments to the kitchen staff and cleaners who you don't see but who do a fantastic job, bravo all, can't wait for February.

We took advantage of a Norfolk Passport deal at The Pigs in September having celebrated our fifth wedding anniversary at the hotel in 2019. This time we were fortunate to have a spa suite with both sauna and steam room, plus a walk in shower and separate bath with TV. Our first stay was excellent, but this one was even better. The food was also on another level, especially the syrup sponge pudding served inside the tin. Service was first class throughout our stay.

The whole experience was totally amazing….from the moment we arrived to the moment we left….the staff and facilities absolutely five star…we had evening meal and breakfast in our room…..food was delicious and value for money….dressing gowns and slippers provided….my husband was impressed as he is 6’5 dressing gown actually fitted him….plenty of hot water and toiletries provided we definitely will be going for next year birthday treat….going to book room with hot tub next time thank you for a wonderful experience
