The Salt Pig

About

The Salt Pig is an Urban Farm Shop / Cafe, with an in-house butchery and fishmongers, as well as a deli.

All the meat is Purbeck meat and is sourced within a 7 mile radius of the shop – including White Park beef from Norden, lamb from Steepleleaze (near Kimmeridge), Purbeck Venison and The Salt Pig’s own Mangalista & Berkshire rare breed pork. Our pigs are kept on RSPB land as part of a heathland renewal scheme. The fish, lobster & crab all come in direct from local fisherman’s day boats. You really can’t get more local.

All the food, including a range of delicious cakes, are cooked from scratch by the chefs using the produce sold in the shop. The cafe is open from 8:30 a.m. – 7:00 p.m, seven days a week, (including breakfasts which includes local organic eggs & freshly baked Salt Pig bread). All our food from the cafe can be eaten in or taken away. We also have a range of ready meals for sale, as well as local wines, ales, ciders & spirits. The Salt Pig also offers a wide range of rustic & bespoke outside catering – whether for corporate or private, including weddings, parties or smaller dinner parties & functions. Email us to discuss the options.

Having seen reviews on Tripadvisor I called in and had a most delicious lunch. I would normally not eat quiche but it was irresistible. Not too rich and balanced well with the beetroot and... Read full review
