Arrived mid-morning to explore the town. Interesting Abbey, many old buildings. Come lunchtime, chose The Whole Hog, right in the town centre, looking out onto the Market Cross. It was a good choice.
Sat at one of the window tables, greeted enthusiastically by the young...lady looking after the restaurant. Once drinks were chosen and delivered, ordered sausage and mash plus steak and ale pie with flakey pastry. Also ordered a glass of red wine. I was impressed, not only by the generous serve, but also the barman poured a small amount into a seperate glass and tasted was Ok before handing me my glass. First time this very basic good practice has been witnessed this trip.
Food was high standard pub food, tasty, generous serves. We would recommend The Whole Hog strongly.More
