The Pickled Piglet (City Centre)

• The service was prompt and friendly
• There was some interesting artwork on the walls with information about the artists &ndash
• Crispy Potatoes with Paprika Mayonnaise and Crab Celeriac with Apple Pancakes
• Favourite dish was the crab pancakes
• Pan fried sea bream with risotto of peas
• 7) and Dry aged Longhorn sirloin steak with hand cut chips
• My husband felt was that the cheeses were almost ice cold
• My treacle tart was enormous but delicious
• We thought The Pickled Piglet was a great place to eat
• T change what it is doing so well
• The bistro's brunch menu certainly presented us with a decent amount of choice
• An appetising range of tapas style small plates were on offer which could have easily doubled as starters as well as various meat
• A cockle sauce was just great
• White flesh that was really well complimented by the salty freshness of the bean samphire cockle combination
• The addition of the toasted almonds was really clever
• Bejewelled with moist smoky lardons
• Plus there were two perfectly cooked scallops guarding each end of the oblong plate on which the dish was served
• The vegetables and the creamed leaks in particular were really great
• All around the table agreed it was one of the most succulent and flavourful chicken dishes any of us had sampled in a long while
• Everything was perfectly cooked and presented
• The food was brilliant but it lacked atmosphere and so I was reluctant to return
• Inside the bar has been moved down a whole flight of stairs and greets you with cosy warm colours and benches and stools
• The upstairs dining room has been redesigned with renaissance style blues and greys
• The roasts were also delicious
• The lamb shoulder which is served off the bone and shaped into a circle was delicious
• Beef option was cooked to perfection
• The only downsides were that the music
• As I'd visited with my parents that was a bit of an issue as "
• The waiting staff have a lot of stairs to navigate though and it was quite busy so it's understandable
• Food was innovative and divine slow cooked pulled pork with mesquite bbq sauce on coconut flatbreads with creme fraiche and chilli jam out of this world and the meats/cheese board a delight
• Upstairs less inspiring in terms of atmosphere but then it was empty and 330pm sure it would be very different with 3 or 4 full tables enjoying the excellent food
