"Spent one night in Porlock, came here as looked inviting and the reviews were positive. Had a lovely pie meal on a freezing day, fresh food cooked to order. Lovely beef and horseradish pie, packed full, crunchy veg and generous helping of gravy... accompanied by a great glass of merlot. Really enjoyed my meal and appreciated the warm welcome after a long journey. Thank you!"

"We'd been looking forward to popping in here since we found out about it. Decor fascinating, with many paintings. Music good, the kind of thing Elizabeth Alker might play on her known unknown sequence Saturday mornings. Food great: the seafood platter delicious. Order early though, and bring cash rather than card. Reasonable prices, friendly place to eat."

"Had takeaway twice from Piggy in the Middle during our recent trip to Porlock and food was fantastic both times. Great fish and chips and the pies were the best we have ever tasted. Lovely cosy restaurant with a great choice of wines and beers if you choose to eat in too. Everything is cooked fresh to order so it is always best to book or phone in your order ahead of time. Looking forward to our next visit."
