Vegetarian & Vegan
What our guests say about our vegan and vegetarian options…
Vegetarian or Vegan menus
At Piglets we don’t believe those on a plant diet should be ‘punished’ with poor, mediocre food and lack of choice. We strive to produce interesting and varied options which we hope you will love – we have plenty of home grown and local produce, which gives us a great start to work from. We hope you will enjoy…
All cooked vegan or vegetarian dishes are cooked using a non-dairy spread and/or oil.
Vegan/Vegetarian Breakfast at Piglets (included with your room booking)
We don’t believe that asking guests what they would like for breakfast the night before is the right thing to do, especially if they have just eaten their evening meal!
So to ensure everyone receives a relaxing and attentive breakfast cooked fresh to order we offer reserved half hourly slots from 8:00 to 10:00 daily – if you would like a particular time, do reserve a slot when booking or let us know on arrival.
Of course for those on business or needing to be away at a particular time, we will happily take orders the night before so that we do not delay you getting away. Please be sure to request a particular time slot for breakfast either on booking or when you arrive if you have an appointment to keep.
ALLERGIES: Please inform us if you have any allergies or dislikes so we can give you information about ingredients to allow you to make an informed choice.
Our menu is marked ‘V’ for vegetarian, ‘Vg’ for vegan and ‘GF’ for gluten free.
If you don’t see it, we might have it or be able to get it in for you, so please ask.

Evening food - winter and summer vegan/vegetarian menus
Here at our rural country location, there are a few things that might come as a surprise to those of you who are more used to urban life where dining opportunities abound and taxis are available at a snap of one’s fingers or a click on an app…things don’t quite work this way around here, which is one of the lovely things guests like about visiting Piglets, however it can be a little frustrating at times…let us explain; you are probably unlikely to find many pubs/restaurants open on a Sunday, Monday or Tuesday evening for food. And if you don’t book in advance, getting into your favoured pub or restaurant on a Friday/Saturday night or for Sunday lunch might prove difficult plus local taxis’ are often all booked up well in advance (BTW there is no Uber here).
So with this in mind, our kitchen is open all evenings for food except for Wednesdays when the kitchen is closed. All orders need to be placed by noon of that day, ideally pre-ordered when you book and will be served from 6 to 7:30pm.
