Stopped in for something light before traveling home. We both ordered the French onion and it was very good. The service was good and the waitress friendly. The atmosphere is nice, would have been neat if they had kept it authentic and featured a playlist of English artists. Hearing American rock playing the whole time was weird but the decor was very cool. Bathrooms clean. We will definitely return for breakfast on our next stay. read more

Wanted to try something up the coast. Surprisingly busy for the time of day. It is a nice pub with bar in the center surrounded by tables. Seated ourselves and our drink order taken by the bartender and our waitress made her way over eventually. Ordered the pretzel and cheese sauce. Pretzel was hot and good while the cheese sauce was a tad runny. Did not really cling to the pretzel as I would have liked. Fish and chips were very flavorful and came with a generous portion of fries. Guinness beef pot pie was flavorful and a good portion. The crust was browned nicely but still slightly under. Chicken pot pie was not as flavorful as the beef pie but others thought it tasted good. The pastry was burnt at one end and raw in the middle. Seems like made fresh but technique needs refinement. The waitress was attentive and made sure our glasses were refilled. Protip: there is patio sitting unfortunately that is where the smokers go. read more

It was nice to be able to walk here from our rental. OMG the place was packed on a Saturday before 6pm. There was some sort of party group that took up half the bar/restaurant. I chose the special Winter Salad. Shrimp, goat cheese, and pomegranate seeds made it very good. Nice portion as well. Enough to eat in one sitting without having to take some home which never tastes good. Husband had the fish and chips which was a signature item. It was excellent. Lightly battered fish. Hot crispy fries. Very good. Staff was great, especially given how crazy it was in there. Definitely an English pub vibe. Want to go back and try a pot pie. Looked yummy. read more

I had heard good things about this restaurant but unfortunately it disappointed. Let me explain... I would have given 1 star but the staff was friendly and attentive so I gave an extra star. I ordered a special, the blackened red snapper. I should have known better than to order a special on a Sunday but I did. The mashed potatoes were good along with the asparagus. But when it came to the main dish, it was dry and overcooked. I had to struggle to cut through a normally flacky fish. I was hungry so I pushed through. The seasoning was good, just wish it were fresh. I should have gone with my first choice of Shepards pie but oh well. read more

They no longer have dinner specials like Tuesday meatloaf or Wednesday prime rib, etc. I think this awesome establishment unfortunately is in default. That would be a shame read more

First off pictures of the place do not fully capture this spot. It's got great curb appeal and the inside is well done very tasteful. We ordered the fish fingers for appetizer and seafood pie for main. Fish fingers came in a basket with fries. The batter had a nice beer batter type crunch but fish still fresh and moist inside. The seafood pie was excellent, not too rich and not obnoxious with overloaded cheese. The sauce was very well done not just a basic overly rich sauce full of cream. Tons of seafood chunks. Also we went on a Saturday night and my black and tan was $2 off a nice surprise. Overall recommend we hit this place up the night before a cruise and would def return. read more

Parking was very easy with tons of space around the building. We were greeted by the Manager and he sat us outside per our request. The patio is lovely with lots of tables, fresh flowers and TVs. We ordered the Bavarian pretzel to start. We got it with cheese sauce and caramel. Holy crap. It was the best pretzel we've ever had!! Get both dips and mix them, you'll thank me. My son got a Reuben and ate the entire thing. He said it had lots of flavor and the french fries were mid. My other son got Philly cheese steak, it was a special, and fries. We also got onion rings. They were just ok. Wouldn't get those again. We got a Shepard pie and a chicken pot pie to share. Chicken pot pie tasted like it was made from scratch, which it likely was. The crust was flaky and buttery and crisp. The flavor was great! The Shepard pie was so authentic tasting. Mashed potatoes were scratch made, chunky and made perfectly. The flavor was so rich! Our waiter was Ted. He was friendly and attentive. We will definitely come back. read more

This wasn't my first visit, thought I would try again. My friend's meatloaf was tough and dry. Once again I ordered the fish and chips as it had been recommended by another at my table. I was hoping for improvement. The fish was so greasy I had to put 2 napkins under to soak up the grease. Very disappointing. The service was good. read more

Excited to try what by all appearances was an English restaurant with my native-born Englander bestie. Turns out not a good idea at this place. Very disappointed. One star for the ambiance. One star for our server. Nothing for the food. Our meals were terrible. Our server was pleasant. The restaurant was nicely laid-out. The ambitious menu looked genuinely British with all the favorites you would expect to see in a London restaurant. But the food was terrible. We had Scotch egg and sausage roll appetizers. The sausage roll was noteworthy; the Scotch egg 100% forgettable. The much anticipated Sunday Roast was miserable. We were each served a very thin, mainly fat slice of tough beef from a low-quality rib roast that was way too salty. Completely inedible. It was trash. The roasted potatoes were not roasted - they looked and had the texture of boiled potatoes, with heavy salt being the dominate taste. The carrots were lifeless, and again tasted like they had been soaked in salt. Finally, the Yorkshire pudding was visually pleasing but tasteless cardboard. It had clearly been sitting out for hours under a heat source that had calcified it into a ridiculously hard brick. Almost impossible to break off a bite, and equally difficult to chew, much less swallow. All in all, no way we can recommend this place to anyone seeking an edible meal. Maybe a stop at the bar for a Guinness. But the food was dreadful. Whoever is preparing these dishes uses way, way too much salt. The original English dishes are just awful. Pig and Whistle is a hard pass. read more

The food was EXCEPTIONAL! The service was inversely dismal. It took a really long time to get food! The place was really loud. I sat at the bar because there was no place else to sit. It took at least THIRTY minutes to get my check so I could leave! I am GF-DF. They can tell me whatever they want about food and the preparation. I will always know the truth within the hour. Even though I was very careful to order GF-DF, there is no way it could have been based on my personal experience within the hour. Sadly. Eat at your own risk! read more

Awesome bàcon sarnie, great pint of Guinness, and fantastic service. I'll be back to watch the soccer games!

This place doesn't have any tradition, and copying off of other people's pubs and guess what they have basketball and football on not Footy/soccer and my mom's food the curried vegetable shepherds pie taste it like it was microwaved and the only good thing here is the sausages because my dad grew up in England and used to have the best sausages and he said they were delicious The sausage is here and get this. My mom's food is only mashed potatoes. There's not gravy on it and they keep on messing up our order. We accidentally got the wrong order like three times until they finally gave us our order. And my mom's bread was not cooked. It was dry and when she picked up when she picked it up, it crumbled in her hand. read more

Great food! Great atmosphere! Great service! What more do you want out of a restaurant and pub? Eat here, you won't regret it.

The food is great. The service is always great. I love the ambience. Have been eating here since I was a kid will continue to do so . Love the sign ! The rapture didn't happen, but I could still get my hands on some beautiful fish and chips. No Tylenol needed ! Love you guys screw the haters keep pushing read more

Step back into 1800's in this authentic English pub/restaurant. Wonderful atmosphere & really sweet waitresses. I gave it only 3 stars because of this: We wanted Fish & Chips. There was 3 choices on the menu ~ Classic Fish & Chips for $15, Haddock for $21 & Cod for $21. My husband asked our waitress what the fish was in the Classic dish. IT WAS SWAI. They're literally 3 blocks from the ocean & they want to serve this garbage fish. We chose the Cod & it was so flaky and tasted so good! It came with a "sample size" cup of Mushy Peas, which were awesome, and the same size of Cole Slaw, which wasn't that good but edible. We also have a glass of Cider (1 each) which was ice cold & so good! Total bill not including tip was $76. How? Those glasses of Cider must have been expensive! If we're ever in Cocoa Beach again, we might stop in for a Boddington's & a bowl of those Mushy Peas! read more

I don't know if this is someone's authentic attempt at an English Pub or someone just trying to stand apart. I can say I've been to a few Irish pubs that did a better job at english breakfasts. I will contribute that my wife liked her Salmon Eggs Benedict with the one statement that she thought they put on too much salmon...good for them making my wife happy with an Amercian dish. Me - coffee is weak; eggs were done in too much grease, no idea what can the minuscule baked beans came from (served in a condiment tin); english sausage definitely not a banger, the English crisp their bacon (not here apparently), home fries needed to be cut further by half (size and volume) and the "rye" bread was a marble rye which is rye and pumpernickel without seeds - four slices that equate to half a loaf. Best thin on the plate - grilled tomato. Oh, keep away from the "blueberry-vanilla jelly/jam" it has the consistency and taste of a pancake syrup. Glad my wife liked it, its more important to me that she enjoys the meal. For me - meh. I will try another place possibly next weekend in my search for breakfast. Right now Umpta is #1 on my list for the area. read more

Food is good. If they have Guinness in stock, it is fresh and tasty. You also need to know that the following is what you will pay: (2) fish 'n chip dinners (3) Guinness (1) diet soda. The total is just over $80.00 Add a 20% tip, the total is just under $100.00 Spoke to a friend afterwards, and was told that they were charged for a meal they didn't order. I wonder if the same happened to me, but that's my fault for not scrutinizing the charges. I suggest fo those ready this, check your bill before you pay. read more

The service was very good. I will say i got the Sunday roast and the potatoes were very hard as if they had been under a heat lamp for awhile. It was good otherwise and pretty cool to be able to try British style food in florida. if you are vegetarian they do make a housemate black bean burger the color was a little off and it kinda scared us but it was pretty good. read more

A small English and American pub restaurant, nestled in the heart of a suburb. While we were there our server was Melissa, she was really good and a fellow lover of Disney, chatted with us about her experiences while at the parks. We were a little disappointed that the mushy peas weren't actual mushy peas, looked more like mashed peas than anything. However, the food itself, was "chef's kiss" good. The pretzel was big and had a nice baked texture. The fish and chips I was told by my family was really good. I had the sausage and chips and they both were really nice, the onions were nice, a light grill but not like onion crisps. I really enjoyed it here, I also heard they have a great breakfast, so maybe hit it up then if you're nearby. read more

The Pig & Whistle is definitely a place to revisit the next time we are in town. The atmosphere is unique and the dishes are awesome. We went for lunch service and dinner service the same day to try multiple dishes. We tried the French Onion Soup; French Dip; Jalapeño Poppers; The Lord of the Ring; The Reuben; The Black and Bleu; and the Beef Pot Pie. The Good The hamburgers were well made and delicious. They were cooked (medium/well done) to order and filled the need for something savory. The ingredients were well thought out and made the burgers just that much better. The fact that they procured marbled rye bread for the Reuben shows the level of care that went into the meals. The beef pot pie crust was so flaky and crisp. And popping the pie open led to a hot, tasty beef stew that was tender and rich and a perfect match for the flaky crust. I had a Guinness from the tap to add to the English theme to round out my meal. The decor was quirky with their English Pub theme...but cute and set the right mood. There were TVs playing some American football games and one even had a bloopers show on for anyone not interested in sports. The servers were very friendly and even remembered us like old friends when we came back for dinner service. The Bad Not much to complain about...got to try this place. The only things I would caution is that they did run out of a few menu choices towards the end of service so you may want to arrive early if you want to get something specific. And on certain days we saw a lot of foot traffic. Groups of people were waiting outside to get seating. The restaurant has seating inside and outside but sometimes outside is not feasible due to weather. read more

The service is personal, the food is delicious and the Irish ambiance is perfect. My Irish genetics are happy here.

The Pig & Whistle-240 N. Orlando Avenue, Cocoa Beach, FL 32931 4.5 Stars Cocoa Beach: The land of King Hit or Miss. At its worst, we are left with sloppy, disgusting, disagreeable food; and yet at its best, it's nonetheless quite possible to find satisfactory offerings, if one is willing to look hard enough. Located in the heart of Cocoa Beach, tucked far away from the overwhelming number of subpar, bedizened, beachside eateries stands a prime example of the latter, waiting patiently to be discovered in the Pig & Whistle. Opening its doors in 1985, the Pig & Whistle offers ambience befitting that of a traditional British pub, coupled with authentic eats, served daily. My Weta,Tamara is a highly experienced hand in Brevard County food locales. Quite honestly, she bursts forth with a full, affable personality and is easily a perennial finalist for the award of "Big Boy best service." Presently, she is a number one waitstaff, top earner in the second quarter. I arrive ready for breakfast but discover a lunch and dinner menu is at hand. Thankfully, Tamara eagerly went to bat for me, allowing me to order a lunch item as well. Cheesy grits with a runny egg: absolutely exciting! The key ingredient to producing great grits is most certainly either heavy cream, or cheese. The pancakes offered the perfect texture, an exceptional balance and careful blend, meeting at the crossroads wherein fluffy meets tasty. I am beyond happy with the result. I'll further submit that the runny egg was an awesome finale to the breakfast meal. The banger burger (bangers and mash) is comprised of English sausage, mash potatoes, smothered in gravy and topped with grilled onions and a big juicy burger, cooked medium rare, in between. Come on now, this is an exquisite combination and is so very nice. Big Boy Says, "Come in the morning. See Tamara. Get a great breakfast, and if you're lucky, a lunch too." read more

We found this busy little spot when driving from Daytona Beach back to South Florida. It was a Sunday afternoon and we were surprised how full it was at about 2pm. There is full bar in the center of the establishment and there seemed to be many locals gathered around the bar drinking. The bartender greeted us from behind the bar and told us to seat ourselves. We found an empty table and started looking over the menu. The menu had a brief explanation of where the name "Pig and Whustle" came from, and they had a lot of pub food and comfort foods to choose from. A waitress passed us by and she looked really busy; she told us she'd be with us soon. It wasn't too long of a wait before she brought us some waters and took our orders. I ordered the "gourmet grilled cheese" which was made with 4 kinds of cheeses and bacon and tomato. It was very tasty with a melty cheese center. It was warm; but not really hot. It also came with fries which were very good. My husband ordered the fried fish sandwich. It was a large crispy piece of fish, way bigger than the bun, and he said it was really good. He also thought the fries were really yummy. We like to try different and out-of-the-way places when we travel and this place didn't disappoint. It is like a traditional British pub mixed with an American diner.....prices were fair and there was lots of parking available. Give it a try; you'll be glad you did! read more

We welcomed in the New Year Day Brunch at Pig & Whistle. The food lived up to the hype. We sat outside it could be the reason we has slow service. However our cute waitress made up for it in service. Though the very slow service made me change my review to a 4 star. It too 20 minutes to see the server after we sat down. (Open seating-seat yourself) She kept forgetting to check on us and we needed refills. That aside... The food was very good and very plentiful. My SIL and I both had chicken fried steak breakfast. Yum My husband had the 3 egg breakfast, they forgot the bacon, and his over easy eggs were over hard. My friend had the French toast chefs kiss. Our friend had the bomb burrito. He said it was really good. The Bloody Mary was also outstanding probably one of the best I've had mix wise. We will definitely be back. The food was outstanding, your wait staff was friendly and knowledgeable but short staff. read more

Three and a half stars, what? This place is underrated on Yelp. The food is great, the portions are large, the atmosphere is typical English pub, and the prices are just right. I highly recommend this restaurant if it's chilly outside and you are looking for some warm comfort food. We ordered a Shepard pie, the fisherman pie, the meat pie, and the pork grinds. The Shepard pie was rich and just the right ratio of mash potato topping to beefy under layer. The fisherman pie was chunky and creamy. Every bite had some shrimp or haddock. The portion was large. The meat pie was on the smaller side but equally delicious. For $8 it is hard to beat. I also really enjoyed the meat pie sides - mushy peas and mashed potato with gravy. The mushy peas had a peppery earthy taste that complimented the rest of the dish perfectly. I'd recommend the meat pie as a side if you are hungry. read more
