A Georgian Manor House That’s All About Seasonal Feasting

If you’re staying on the Kent coast in one of our Holiday Homes and want to treat yourself to something special, The Pig at Bridge Place offers non-hotel guests four fabulous ways to enjoy its laid-back charm and seriously good food — whether you’re after a sweet treat, a relaxed drink, a casual bite, or a proper feast.

1. Sweet Treats in the Snug

Looking for a cosy spot to unwind? The snug next to the bar is just the ticket. With rich panelled walls, warm wood, comfy velvet chairs, and a roaring fire most days, it’s perfect for indulging in homemade cakes and a comforting cup of tea. It’s the kind of place that makes you want to linger — maybe with just one more slice.

2. Relaxed Drinks at the Bar

Looking for a moment to unwind? The bar offers just that — with a couple of well-worn leather sofas tucked into quiet corners, and shelves lined with colourful glasses glowing in front of the grand Georgian windows. Whether it’s a cocktail, a glass of wine, or a cold beer, it’s the perfect spot to take a breather and soak up the relaxed atmosphere.

3. Casual Bites in the Pizza Garden

When the sun shines, the pizza garden comes alive. This alfresco spot offers wood-fired pizzas topped with fresh, local ingredients — a slightly more wallet-friendly way to savour The Pig’s incredible flavours. Perfect for a lazy lunch or casual evening, just grab a slice (or three) and a local cider to enjoy the summer vibes.

4. A Proper Feast: Lunch or Dinner

For those craving a full dining experience, the lunch and dinner menus are where The Pig truly shines. Their famous 25-mile radius menu means every dish is fresh, seasonal, and packed with local flavour. Think vibrant salads, slow-roasted Kentish lamb, and seafood so fresh it’s practically still swimming. Honest, knockout food served with relaxed elegance — a perfect treat for your Kent coast stay.

Live Music in June

The dress code? Think cool, not formal. Inside, cozy touches abound — from comfy velvet chairs that invite you to sink in, to a roaring fire that keeps things warm and welcoming during the colder months.
