While Tamworth is widely known as the capital of Australian country music, it’s not often celebrated for its restaurant scene. However, this venue has changed all that.

Housed within one of the town's most iconic heritage buildings is The Pig and Tinderbox.

Proudly part of The Central Hospitality Group, this innovative modern restaurant tends to be packed out most nights with tropical decor and a menu that focuses on sharing. There is also an impressive drinks list with plenty of craft beers and cocktail jugs on offer.

The unusual name harks back to the old-school pubs of the past, but "The Pig" (better known to the locals) is something that will be sticking around well into the future.

    Our waitress was fabulous, food average and not worth what we paid.

    Food was well-seasoned and plated beautifully. The pulled pork taco was tasty and perfect balance of flavour. The scotch fillet was cooked to perfection. The pork belly adobo was absolutely amazing - the meat melt in your mouth, rich, fragrant and just perfect. Recommended for a date night as the ambience and decor were great.

    I was super happy they gave us a spot out on the veranda. We were treating our overseas guests to a meal. The drinks were nice, but the food was very average. The quality has gone down I’m afraid. Maybe trying to purchase cheaper ingredients.

    Service was friendly. Atmosphere was great. One of the meals was incorrect (table of six but it wasn’t a super busy night) and main meals (apart from a hamburger) were tiny! Nice food - not exceptional. Mocktails were a chocolate milkshake, a smoothy and a red cordial that was so sweet it had to be watered down to be drinkable. Mocktails should look and taste like cocktails without the alcohol. Still a nice experience but not exceptional.

    Pig and Tinder never disappoints in every aspect of quality dining. Menu is perfectly designed to excite everyone’s tastes. Service is always of high quality with the respect of all clients.

    Food Was Devineeeee, yummy and fulling. Anyone who loves food as much as I do, you will love this place and the experience was amazing 😍 Would definitely recommend coming here worth every dollar and cent 🙌 The atmosphere was beautiful apart from my noisy shoes clicking and clacking around their beautiful flooring. Service was flawless and friendly, and thank you to the guy to knocked on wood for me 😅 cause right after that the rest of my group showed up. Even though we were late I do really appreciate the time that was taken to accommodate us. Will most likely come back for the next event that shall be held. Oh and the other couple that had come really enjoyed the experience as well

    The food is always absolutely tremendous. We thoroughly enjoyed our meals, however the service could’ve been improved - we did go on 26/1 which is the tail end of TCMF so we recognise that the team would be exhausted after a big festival! Is it expensive, yes, but is it worth it - yes.
