'THE PIG: 500 Miles of Food, Friends and Local Legends' our second book, is hitting the shelves 12th May 2022...

A lot has happened in the three years since we published our first book! Three new PIGs and of course a global pandemic to contend with…it has certainly not been boring!

THE PIG’s second book is a celebration of the counties we call home, the unique produce and flavours associated with them and the exceptional cast of characters that make up the broader PIG family. Journey through the eight chapters – one per hotel and across 500 miles from Cornwall to Kent – and get to know a few more of our most valued artisan friends, the new generations of farming families reinventing themselves, a potted history of each of our much-loved buildings, and a peek ‘backstage’ into the lives of the unsung heroes of hospitality. Of course there are plenty of PIG recipes, gardening tips and tricks and chats with our PIG teams too!
