Rural traditional free house with very high quality beer (Adnams & Mighty Oak) and, on this occasion, good if not cheap food. Previous visits found better beer than food. A good place to a visitor for a proper pub experience. Good walks around the village.

I lived in Abington Piggots in the mid-sixties, when there were no pubs in tn the village. The building that is now the Pig & Abbot was the house of a farm that had a licence to only open on Sundays for a couple of hours. I loved living there and visited the Pig & Abbot in later years while in the area. It looked great to me. I must get round to making another visit.

The third best pub (of 10) we visited in Cambridgeshire this bank holiday Monday. A rural roadside pub with a nice interior and fairly friendly locals. 4 real ales were available - Elgood's Cambridge Bitter, Everards Tiger, Adnams Bitter and Fullers London Pride, alongside Aspalls cider.

A friday evening visit after a dissapointing pint of green King IPA in the Crown not far away. Pub was fairly busy and it took ages to get served but the ale selection was worth the wait.
On tap were Adnams Bitter, Black Sheep, London Pride and Doom Bar.
The pub is olde world but in recent years has become more popular as a resturant.
If you are planning on visiting for drink only it is best to wait until the food serving is over as it gets a little quieter then.

Well where do I start. The atmosphere of the pub would be considered a typical English countryside pub but for the landlord Pat. She is the one crucial ingredient that simply turns this sleepy country pub in to an open, friendly Gastro pub with style. She makes everyone feel at home and you feel as if you were invited to dinner not simply paying for it.
In reference to the food and price both are excellent. The portion sizes are huge and as the food is so delicious I often have limited room for the real ale which is great to find in a country pub.
The decor is typically country and the pub has a big roaring fireplace on the odd cold winters evening we have visited.
I have been in some public houses over the years both for food, grub and company but every time I want to entertain friends, I always head back to Pats pub the Pig and Abbot where I get all my boxes ticked.

Food fantasic. Great value for money, could barely fit in a pud. Good selection of real ales. The landlady and landlord are very welcoming.

Great village pub although the bar staff were slow to serve and could do with an injection of happy tablets.
Good selection of Ales, Tried the Burntwood bitter, followed by a London pride and then an Adnams.
All served just as they should be.
The food menu looks good with plenty of choices to suit all eating habbits although a little pricey for a pub.
Its a small pub and can get very busy when serving food but quickly calms down after food time is over.

Traditional real ale pub offering fabulous home cooked food in a gorgeous setting. In winter there's a roaring log fire, in summer you can sit in the beer garden and let the day go gently by, looking over rolling fields and chocolate box thatched cottages in the village. Run by lovely, friendly, welcoming people, we can't recommend this pub highly enough. P.S. A London Pride for Simon, please Pat.
