Located in a former bank vault, The Potted Pig focuses on good cooking and good gin. The Michelin Guide was impressed by its "robust, tasty dishes".
There are decent vegetarian and fish options, but as the name suggests, it's carnivores who'll really be in their element here. There's even a show-stopping whole suckling pig available for a minimum of eight people to share.
