The brainchild of Matthew Samuel, he took on the once Beach Bar Diner and converted it to the Pig On The Beach. Matt, pictured below during the mid winter, at the start of the transformation process, had a great vision for the sea front pub/resturant. He wanted simple, high quality food with a choice of beverages, mixed with live entertainment to attract locals and holiday makers alike. Matt also aimed to slot the Pig into Westward Ho! to increase what was offered as a village without competing with existing businesses. We think he did this with style....
The Pig On The Beach is all about pies, pizzas, prosseco and ice cream....Why not? They are the building blocks for a happy life! The Pig has been open a while now, it's already carved pies into the fabric of Westward Ho! You can choose from a variety of amazing fillings, the pie is served on a bed of mash with roast vegetables and gravey...Simple, tasty and under a tenner.
Now the clever bit...The Pig On The Beach has teamed up with Simon from The Pig And Olive, two great businesses working symbiotically together. The Pig and Olive have taken on the downstairs kitchen with Pizza oven offering eat in or take away pizzas. This is the Pig and Olive's second venue in Westward Ho!, they have already established a wonderful name for their wood fired, sour dough pizzas.
Having the two kitchens running while keeping it simply but high quality, the Pig On The Beach is able to cater for a lot of people, quickly. This is perfect in their position, you see a lot of people on sunny days sitting on the green, eating pies and pizza, while the kids play in the park watching the sun set....Very Westward Ho! chilled style.
April 10th was the official opening day of the Pig On The Beach in Westward Ho! It was opened in style with Gary Stringer (front man from Reef) singing live. The place was packed and buzzing. It was so nice to have this venue alive once more, to see so many happy people was just magical, especially as it's right in the centre of the village.
The Pig On The Beach is now open for you to go and get an amazing pie or wonderful pizza, sit outside in the conservatory area and enjoy a drink while taking in the stunning views. We wish Matt, Simon and team all the best and welcome them into the village. They will be an asset to the village and increase the choices of quality venues here even more. What a brilliant village we have, what choices of amazing venues to eat and drink....It's hardly surprising people keep coming back!
