The Pig's Ear restaurant reviews




Average rating: 4.4
For food: We had scallops and salmon as starters, the portion is very mini, for mains we had cod fish and mixed grill, cod is very creamy and very tasty, mixed grill is a proper size but I won’t really recommend it doesn’t taste as nice as expected. For dessert, tbh I feel very gutted it’s like a premade cheesecake I could get in a shop like Lotts and Co, but paid such a high price for a basic premade cheesecake. I would recommend to try something different, the cheesecake is so average and won’t amaze you
For location and atmosphere, very close to Trinity so a solid location, we walked in at an early time like 6pm on Tuesday night, no harm to do a booking if you wanna go in at the weekend or during summer.
Overall, nice to give it a go, but considering the total expense I don’t think will go back again. I would rate it 3.8/ 5.
