the pig

Madehurst, Arundel BN18 0NL.

The latest opening from The PIG - THE PIG in the South Downs is one not to be missed for one of the best brunches around. You will eat in a traditional greenhouse restaurant surrounded by a higgledy-piggledy collection of traditional brick, flint and timber clad Sussex stable yard buildings. Stay in the hotel or book a table for brunch. Not one for the veggie’s out there, The Full Pig-Out comes with middle cut bacon, sausage, black & white puddings, mushrooms, grilled tomato & eggs how you like them. Or for the more-environmental version go for the smashed peas on SøDT donker rye bread, crushed with lemon & chilli and topped with poached eggs. Just divine!

How about cozy candle lit breakfast vibes, or a secret garden to welcome the start of your day…look no further than Oeuf. Go for their Frumpets - a stack of three french toast battered crumpets. Or their Oeuf & Surf - Fresh Crab on Sourdough Drizzled With Brown Butter Sauce and Topped With A Poached Egg. It would be Oeuf not to!

Why not have brunch in one of England’s most important early Tudor houses, visited by King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth.

For a winter warmer, we loved their Cowdray porridge with a mixed berry compote or banana and Brazil nuts.
