    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.

    Hugely disappointed with our visit this time. Have been coming to Big Pig Cateen since it first opened and when I was diagnosed coeliac it was a huge relief to know they could cater very well to coeliacs. Sadly upon asking my usual questions this time about their fryer, is it dedicated gf or shared to find out they now recycle their oil and it is contaminated and that they could bake me chips in the oven however numerous other items I had previously enjoyed are now not safe after many many years. Absolutlely guttered and left immediately. There seemed to be no care, I felt it was a we can bake chips but suck it up kind of situation. Not only have you lost our custom for good, I will be letting all coeliac forum’s and groups know the situation. You were a safe place for many, many in fact that supported you during numerous lock downs. Just utterly disappointed that such a good model has changed to eliminate numerous people that aren’t able to consume gluten. Terrible move guys

    The corn bread was the most delicious along with the meat and beer. The staff were amazing and put on UFC for me and my husband to watch whilst we ate.

    Some noisey patrons made the atmosphere slightly chaotic, in future, Rudy patrons would be asked to leave.
