The “personal service” at Stuart & Jo Myers’ “fantastic small restaurant” in Mabgate – which they opened twelve years ago as a café called the ‘Greedy Pig Kitchen’ – is “the very definition of hospitality”. “The unconventional cooking is great”, too (including winning cakes). “It’s a 140-mile round trip for us but sooo worth it!”

“Perfectly executed and well-priced” dishes, including some “great puddings”, win the seal of approval for this sharing-plates venue. “Mabgate is starting to become a very cool neighbourhood – due in no small part to the Swine”. Top Tip – “those beef-fat buns!”

Popular for its “good value cooking”, this “small plates and small dining area” venue has a strong following for its vegetarian options – despite the name. Themed set menus are served in the evenings, and weekends are known for ‘Pie Sundays’.

For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
