Breakfast
Max explains the ethos behind Piglets’ breakfast and what you can expect when you arrive for your reserved breakfast slot after a relaxing night’s sleep…
Here’s what our guests’ have said about Piglets’ breakfasts…
Breakfast at Piglets (included with your room booking)
We don’t believe that asking guests what they would like for breakfast the night before is the right thing to do, especially if they have just eaten their evening meal!
So to ensure everyone receives a relaxing and attentive breakfast cooked fresh to order we offer reserved half hourly slots from 8:00 to 10:00 daily – if you would like a particular time, do reserve a slot when booking or let us know on arrival.
Of course for those on business or needing to be away at a particular time, we will happily take orders the night before so that we do not delay you getting away. Please be sure to request a particular time slot for breakfast either on booking or when you arrive if you have an appointment to keep.
ALLERGIES: Please inform us if you have any allergies or dislikes so we can give you information about ingredients to allow you to make an informed choice.
Our menu is marked ‘V’ for vegetarian, ‘Vg’ for vegan and ‘GF’ for gluten free.
If you don’t see it, we might have it or be able to get it in for you, so please ask.
