The Unruly Pig

Inspector comments
"Relaxed Suffolk pub serving great modern British cooking."
Overview
A casually-dressed, friendly and well-briefed team and a relaxed, shabby-chic look make this welcoming gastropub in the Suffolk countryside an informal destination for some assured and thoughtful modern British cooking. Stripped wood floors and quarry tiles with rugs give a comfortable feel, with dark blue panels and eye-catching artworks on the walls. Seasonally focused menus change regularly, bringing gutsy, deeply flavourful dishes, starting out with a knockout rabbit terrine alongside sublime chicken liver parfait, crispy prosciutto, Muscat grapes and freshly-baked brown butter brioche. Next up, tuck into top-drawer Iberico pork done to perfection on the barbecue, matched with roasted garlic foam, lardo and pancetta dressing and rosemary roast potatoes.

About the area
Suffolk is Constable country, where the county’s crumbling, time-ravaged coastline spreads itself under wide skies to convey a wonderful sense of remoteness and solitude. Highly evocative and atmospheric, this is where rivers wind lazily to the sea and notorious 18th-century smugglers hid from the excise men
