The Pig - on the beach Swanage Reviews from The Last Year
A wonderful place for a family celebration
Birthday lunch for my father’s 80th. 10 of us, including two children, had the fortune of eating in The Roundhouse. The food was absolutely fantastic : the tobacco onions are a must! The children’s menu was really appreciated. However the thing that stood out was the exceptional service. The team were kind, informative, and extremely discrete. Huge thanks to Connor for his perfect wine recommendations - I would come back just to hear him talk about wine. Also thanks to Samuel for his great service, for taking such care of us, and being so careful with regards to food intolerance. Plus thanks to the whole team working there today. A perfect place for such a celebration. We’ll be back!
Birthday lunch
We ate lunch here as a birthday treat. We had also booked on the Friday Kitchen Garden tour beforehand, which was an interesting hour with the gardener. Having seen the mushrooms growing in their special room, we couldn’t resist having some as a ‘0 mile’ starter from the ‘25 mile menu’. A lovely meal, delightful service - and although we hadn’t mentioned the birthday in advance, my husband was presented with a ‘Happy Birthday’ plate complete with granita and a piggy biscuit. A very nice touch. Thanks to all.
Expensive, better to be a lunch or dinner guest as opposed to overnight stay
arrived for a 2 night stay at £370 per night on the Saturday at 1pm, car park full with day / lunch visitors. No provision made for guests with a room. Was told to go away and come back a little later! Our room was the 2nd one up from basic, was pretty small but very nicely done, as was the entire hotel, super clean and presented really well. However, the rooms are a little crammed in, and add this walls / noisy stairscases to that its not great. We had a noisy child in the room next to us, who was on the landing most mornings so no lay in's for us! We did ask at reception ref ear plugs., they only had one set spare. Would we go again ? yes 100 % but only for lunch, the rooms are too expensive, and there is very little gain for being a overnight guest, versus a visitor for lunch or dinner.
Relaxing
We had the beach huts- which were charming. Everyone very friendly and food delicious This is our once a year post Xmas treat - after hosting Xmas for large family This was my least favourite of the PIG family I was disappointed when treatments all got cancelled too.
It’s more about the view than the food
For the view and setting it was lovely. I imagine it would be lovely to stay and wake up and overlook the sea. The outside space is great with kids. We sat outside for the wood fired oven. However, at £18 for a flatbread, I was expecting freshly made dough. It was pre-packaged and two options of toppings (I don’t mind that there was only 2, it means it’s speedy which is great). It just didn’t wow us in any way food wise. We wouldn’t return. Maybe the main restaurant is much better…
Surprise costs
To explain our situation, we came into the Pig with a voucher we had been gifted. We were carefully calculating the price of our meal so that we could choose our options wisely and try as much as possible. My partner and I ordered the piggly bits off the main menu anticipating that the pork belly bites and salami fritters would come as one plate. Nevertheless we were charged £9.90 for 2 plates one of pork belly bites and one of salami fritters. I wouldn’t have minded if this was made clear to us however, I felt like the menu was somewhat secretive about this. Upon receiving our bill we were also charged for the still water which came in an open bottle. When the waitress offered still water I presumed this was tap water that you would normally receive complimentary in other restaurants so was shocked that we were charged £3 for this. Another surprise on the bill was a 12.5% service charge. I felt like the service charge was not warranted. Many staff were wondering around and congregated by the till area in groups of 3 for “quiet chats”. One waitress slyly slipped past and took my napkin away without asking and another was dismissive after I asked for the left over money from my voucher to be returned to me in voucher form with the suggestion being that I took home some “piggly bits” instead. The final disappointment was that upon leaving the restaurant we found out that our coats which staff had offered to hang up were stored in an open hallway for anybody to access at their leisure. If we had known this would’ve been the case, we would have kept our belongings with us. I would like to say that the food overall was adequate however with the combination of everything else which happened, what was supposed to be a lovely evening out ended up feeling like we’d been let down. For these reasons I won’t be returning to the pig.
Prices going up and service and quality getting worse
I have been to a number of the pigs and unfortunately this was one on my worse stays. The actual hotel is lovely, great location on the beach front. However the service was lacking and often felt there weren’t enough staff on hand, and when there was you were lucky to be there. Rooms were not fully stocked (for example loo roll!), front desk not keen to help, restaurant food was over priced and cocktails uninventive. All individually may feel small issues, but when you are paying £500 per night and breakfast isn’t even included you would expect and can probably find better!
Really bad coffee
Was really looking forward to a decent latte after a long walk thinking it’s ‘The pig’ and plus it’s costing £4.50 unfortunately it was the worst coffee I’ve ever had.(burnt milk bitter coffee scolding hot) delivered in a takeaway cup when drinking in, offered sugar with nothing to stir it with. The only advice I can give is employ actual baristas or provide good barista training…. Thank you for the swift refund after we had one sip the staff were super friendly and accommodating.
Great service and views but disaapointing and very expensive food.
This Pig has transformed a sleepy Dorset manor house to its own very pleasing corporate image. The views to the Old Harry Rocks on a sunny day from the lovely gardens, that include a separate bar area serving pizza's, are excellent. Inside the restaurant ambience is comfortable, albeit junk shop furnishings may not appeal to everyone. The star of the show were the great, numerous and attentive staff, albeit it is hard distinguish them in their ultra casual attire from guests. There were even two gardeners attending the kitchen garden - explaining why it was so imaculate! Turning to the menu, we both enjoyed an excellent rosemary bread with our starter sardines. For mains we had a good pork loin dish, although the side chips were not fresh cooked. The sausages and mash dish should have been returned as the skins were rubbery and impossible to cut. Overall, the service was 4* or 5*, but the food and value (everything being overpriced) only merrits 2*. The two of us paid £120 for 2 coarses and a drink each. Sadly, we note that the management do not respond to Trip Advisor comments, indicating to us that they are not interested in customer feedback.
Sadly overpriced, disappointing food
We stayed on 21st February for one night. Have to agree with previous reviews. Amazing location. Cosy, intimate atmosphere. Staff very attentive and polite. Breakfast was great, good quality products and plenty of it. However, the evening meal was a terrible let down. We both had pork which was just very average. The menu was very limited. We were charged £3.00 for tap water! Our bill for two courses and sides came to £156.00. We felt it was very over priced for the quality of the food we ate. We'd certainly stay here again but would eat elsewhere for our evening meal. I gave 4 stars because of the venue not the food!

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.

I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil
🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🍾🧨🧨🧨 now on to 30 mill!
Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
