A group of us decided to try it out and we had a thoroughly lovely evening. There is a big wood fired oven that produces wonderful bread, pizza and cooks meat to perfection. I had crab and lemongrass cakes with a spicy corriander chutney which was fresh and zingy. To follow beer battered pollock and sinful chips. I was glad to find sustainable fish on the menu and they have obviously spent a long time sourcing local and ethical produce I believe some is grown on the estate. My friends had the haddock, steak and vegetarian cannelloni and of course as friends do, we all tried each others! Desserts were substantial and comforting. Nothing fussy, straightforward presentation with an emphasis on good quality and simple combinations. I would highly recommend heading over there get a party together and share the taxi! 2012: There has been a change of direction with this restaurant and it now has a 'fine dining' usp as Chef Brown has taken up island residence. Not sure if the above applies.

Parts of the meal were fantastic, a few were just good, but the combination with the atmosphere and good service earned five stars. My favorite part of the meal was the eggs from the snacks section (I forgot the name, but their equivalent of scotch eggs). The porchetta was also excellent, with a lot of crackling. Don't miss the onion straws, they were addictive. I was disappointed in the mozzarella with beetroot, way too much beetroot that overpowered the dish. Overall, though, a great experience and i plan to return with my family.

My dinner was exquisite - I ate on the later side after one or two pre-dinner drinks and ample time to review the menu. I wasn't as fond of the Saddleback Crackling pig skin with applesauce - this was too crispy for my liking. The first few bites I was afraid to crack a tooth. The slow cooked Lamb belly was out of this world. Service was very good given how busy the restaurant was.

"5 Stars says it all... Angel & Blue Pig a must."…read more We got to Lymlington in time for an evening meal and searching the high street for a suitable place and we found 'The Angel & Blue Big'. We had a quick look inside and was warmly greeted with energy by Manager. We hadn't booked and despite this he found us a very nice cosy corner. The decor is fresh, clean and depending where you want to site can be cosy and relaxing. Waitresses were very attentive, positive, and engaging. Food: we had the specials, soup of the day followed by one order for a delicious Honey Roast Ham Hock and one Roast Chicken. Both dishes were superb, and I would recommend anyone to try the Ham Hock while it's on the specials, really was lovely. Drink: we stuck with Ale and had some local Ringwood Blonde, they did have a good choice to select from. Good to see pubs/restaurants stocking local brews. 5 stars says it all for this venue, warm, welcoming, friendly and fantastic cuisine, couldn't recommend it enough. I couldn't see how a previous reviewer say this venue is more pub than restaurant... It's so not. Its a restaurant with a bar. Also someone said about it being over priced, well compared to their local Harvester is might be but to us, it perfect valve for this food and service. See my Tuesday review for over priced restaurant... The Angel & Blue Pig was half price of my previous review but had better service, atmosphere and food.

Two servers really helped us out throughout our two night stay, Archie (who had only started a day before we came in) was great, very sweet and an excellent server. Also Bryony was excellent, she's a wonderful server with an awesome personality. The food was amazing, the fish and chips was by far the best I've ever had, and I work at a seafood restaurant!! Rooms are small but very cozy and they make you feel at home. Pub offers a lot as well, the manager has an extensive knowledge of drinks and what goes well with what. Definitely stay here if you're passing through Newbury or you're headed to Highclere Castle, it's only a ten minute cab ride up to the castle.
