My wife booked 12 of us in for Mother’s Day two to three weeks in advance. Initial service from the manager, Pat, was great until she decided we no longer had a booking four days before and spoke extremely rudely to my other half -...hanging up on her and promising to call back (she didn’t). She suggested my wife had simply imagined the booking. This wasn’t the case and to put this on a customer is poor service. My family and I won’t ever be going thanks to her appalling treatment. No stars if I could.More

On a drive for the last of the summer sun. Went to stop at the waggon and horses but it did not look good. So choose the Pig and Abbot instead. Glad we did. Very traditional pub, really friendly staff. But food was the best....On recommendation I had the chicken and tarragon pie, large portion and would highly recommend. well worth a visit.More

Came across this pub on our walk. Got a friendly welcome and enjoyed drinks outside, in this cosy, +300yr old hostelry. The food looked nice so we'll return to try it shortly.

We met as a family here for a Sunday roast. The pub was roughly half way from our respective homes. Lovely location and excellent roast. The hamlet is unique with some lovely walks in the are to build up the appetite! Strongly recommended.

Our journey to this wonderful pub with a warm, welcoming and friendly atmosphere is so worth it. Twenty minutes traveling and we feel like we’re at our second home 🥰 Pat the landlady is one in a million, a diamond 💎 Our son in law...stumbled upon this pub one day on TA whilst searching for a Mother’s Day meal. We have never looked back. We will be visiting this pub for as long as we are physically able to. We love you Pat and especially enjoy all of the meals you have presented to us. Tonight we enjoyed yet another delicious meal 😋More

We visited the Pig and Abbot this week for a lunch and was not disappointed. I had parsnip soup for starters white my partner had whitebate. Both were delicious. Main course was steak and kidney pudding for me and chicken and leek pie for him....The steak and kidney pudding was great……as good, if not better, than home cooked. My partner thoroughly enjoyed his pie. We had no room for pudding so cannot comment but I am sure they are great too. We like the atmosphere of this pub……..a bit quirky in the best way…..not ‘run of the mill’. There are too many ‘run of the mill’ places to eat in any town. The fires were not lit unfortunately but still a great atmosphere. Highly recommended.More

We were lucky enough to have Christmas dinner at the Pig and Abbot. Our family group was large but the restaurant staff coped with ease, serving a wonderful meal and making sure we had a wonderful festive meal. We have had meals at the pub...in the past and have always had top quality food and service. Cannot be faulted.More

What a great pub this is. The event was a Gentlemen’s pre-Christmas dinner, 10 hungry souls all wanting to be fed. As always in this establishment, the food was good and the portions generous. The staff were all terrific and served us promptly, professionally and...with very good humour. I would warmly recommend the P&A for a warm welcome and good value.More

We “ discovered the “ Pig & Abbot, today ( Monday) after visiting National trust property Wimpole Hall near Royston , decided to treat ourselves to a pub lunch , being a Monday most pubs were either closed or not cooking 😫 Luckily the “...Pig &Abbot” was open & cooking, although they were busy & we hadn’t booked ( but certainly will next time); we received a warm welcome! 20 mins later we were tucking into a lovely freshly cooked lamb & mint pie, delicious 🤤 Pat (the owner) came across for a lovely chat & to make sure we enjoyed , we will be back with friends very soon.More

We were recommended the Sunday roast by a lady in our village, so we went on a special birthday weekend to try it. The staff were great, as was the service and the atmosphere amazing. The toilets were fabulous, better than any pub I’ve seen...in a long time. However the roast was just ok. The roast and veg was good, but the meat lacked flavour and the dynamic we like for a good roast was very low. The gravy was also very dull. I regretfully write this as I so wanted to love everything about this pub.More

We were in the area again and couldn't leave without a final meal at the Pig & Abbott. Everyone raves about the pies and I have had the best fish and chips from any pub here. But I decided to live 'outside the box' and...go with one of the daily specials. I was not dissappointed!! i ordered the slow roasted pork belly which was the pork special of the day. The prices here are crazy affordable, which attracts the locals. Good selection of beers and wines. But back to the food! The pork belly was really meaty, not full of fat, with a crispy top. it was fork tender and melt in your mouth yummy!! I could have licked the plate! I wish I had had the forethought to take photographs! My partner had the mashed potatoes with his meal and they were the best |'ve ever eatern out! Almost as good as mine! Nothing from a microwave here! I'm excited for a return visit! Squeeky clean bathrooms and fabulous staff which are hard to find!More
