The Ginger Pig is a relaxed gastropub/restaurant serving good quality food and one in a series of the Ginger Man Restaurants, the others being The Ginger Dog (Kempton), The Ginger Fox (Hassocks) and The Flint House and Gingerman (the latter two both being in Brighton). I was pleased with the value for money with the return from this menu in the Ginger Pig (includes a set menu of 3 courses for £19 as exceptional value). Highlights from the head chef (Robin Koehorst) on this visit I thought were the clear and strong French onion soup and the Fallow dear from Dean Suppliers. The courgette flower with maple was also nicely done (an enjoyable tempura with good cheese quantity inside) and I was pleasantly surprised by the whole meal.
