    We thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The explanations of each dish was comprehensive and we enjoyed each dish. The rainbow trout, mussels on toast, and oysters were our favourites.

    I always enjoy the delicious meals at Porcine and the friendly attentive service. Dishes are cooked with imagination and flair. The spring vegetables were a visual feast of crunch and colour.

    The pork is a bit too fatty to our liking, but everything else was wonderful, especially the mussels on toast.

    Porcine is definitely one of my favourites…. Yes it’s expensive but it’s what you expect for an exquisite food experience. I love the down to earth yet passionate approach to dining and will return again and again. The wine pairing with dessert is deliciously etched in my mind. THankyou Porcine.

    We love everything about Nik Hill’s approachable, deeply-soulful, yet technique-driven food. Porcine gets everything right about the notion of a French bistro, without resorting to hammy clichés or tired tropes. The front of house staff are warm, highly experienced and knowledgeable, and the whole place has a comfortable and unpretentious atmosphere. With expertly made cocktails and a thoughtful selections of wines ferried up from P&V Liquor below, Porcine ticks all the boxes for a great evening out.
