Kent Casual Dining Experience of the Year
We have an obsessive commitment to home-grown and local produce at THE PIG-at Bridge Place. We celebrate the seasons and use only the best, freshest and most authentic foods and ingredients. Our surroundings influence our food in every way, what cannot be grown in our Kitchen Garden is sourced from within a 25 mile radius. Everything is driven by our Gardener and Forager - they grow and find the food, our Chef then creates the menu. Our open-plan and characterful restaurant dishes up British Kitchen Garden food, true to the micro seasons and with a real focus on simple and fresh flavours. To reduce food waste we pickle, preserve, cure, update menus daily, and use a nose to tail approach with our ingredients. Our commitment to a 25-mile menu not only supports our local suppliers, but means we can be 100% honest on the provenance of our ingredients. Our local suppliers are some of the most exciting and inspiring artisan producers out there! Kent’s unique combination of agricultural farmland, ancient orchards, newly planted vineyards, and history of hop growing, all within casting distance of the sea, means we have access to the freshest fish, locally brewed beers, amazing meats, delicious fruit and award-winning English wines in the country! Right in the heart of the walled Kitchen Garden, our rustic and reclaimed outdoor kitchen is also available during the warmer months. Delivering a range of wood-fired flatbreads and BBQ food available on a walk-in basis – it’s the perfect casual drop by.
