THE PIG Hotels have an obsessive commitment to home-grown and local produce, celebrating the seasons.

This is the foundation of our 25-mile menu.

Behind the scenes are gardening teams are supported by our fully functioning Nursery which is run by our friendly and dedicated team of Nursey Staff based at our Head Office in Lyndhurst, Hampshire. The Nursery is where most of the vegetables grown in the kitchen gardens across our group of hotels begin their lives.
