My boyfriend and I both adore pig cooked in almost any way. We were both in town and thought we would try out The Salted Pig - It has to bee good if it has PIG in the title. We arrived (just before 7pm on a Thursday evening) and were seated straight away without having reserved.The menu is varied, and there are things other than pig on there (although why you would visit here and not want pig is beyond me). You can quite happy have your own starter and main course, but there are a few things on

My boyfriend and I both adore pig cooked in almost any way. We were both in town and thought we would try out The Salted Pig - It has to bee good if it has PIG in the title. We arrived (just before 7pm on a Thursday evening) and were seated straight away without having reserved.The menu is varied, and there are things other than pig on there (although why you would visit here and not want pig is beyond me)
. You can quite happy have your own starter and main course, but there are a few things on the menu designed for sharing, which is they way we decided to go.For starters we had the mixed meat platter. The cold meats were nice, but the home made, still warm scotch egg was a real treat, and the terrine was simply the nicest I have ever tasted. Delicious!For the main we opted for the pork knuckle, which turned out to be a very VERY wise decision. The knuckle is first shown to you whole, and is then taken away to take the meat off the bone. This is then presented on a board with saurkraut and roasted parsnips, all of which were delicious. The meat itself was succlent and the skin perfectly crispy enough.... Delicious..As extra, we ordered mash and creamed brussel sprouts. The sprouts come with small bacon (of course) bits, and the mash comes with small knobs of butter on top, so that you have that wonderful rich buttery taste. Heavenly!Both of us were really hungry, but we couldn't manage to eat it all. Instead the staff very kindly gave us a doggy bag to take it away in. This seemed to be no problem at all.The staff were fantastic. For me they had the perfect balance of service and leaving you to enjoy your meal. No "is everything ok?" every 2 mins by different staff. Refreshing,..It was just the two of us for dinner. Whilst this is in no way a "fine dining" restaurant, the tables are far enough apart that you can make the evening what you want.. I felt our table was very private.We will definately go back again, and I would also like to go there with a group of people so that we can try more things from the sharing menu.Dinner for two without drinks was less than $700 before service.I highly recommend this restaurant. I am told that they have opened one in Knutsford Terrace as well, so all of those who are in TST can get to try it out too without having to cross the water.
Other Info. : Just turn up and eat.. You won;t be dissapointed!
