Welcome to Village Connect

The Greedy Gordons Pub Group has gone the full hog by opening its second pub and a garden kiosk in the beautiful village of Grafton Underwood on the site of the former Sage & Brooke restaurant. The Pig & Waffl e pub and garden kiosk The Pig Pen, have been opened by Richard Gordon and Sonya Harvey, who have run multi-award winning The Red Lion at Cranford for the past four years and will be reopening The Snooty Fox in Lowick soon.

Richard and Sonya hope The Pig & Waffl e and The Pig Pen will become a village hub for locals to meet throughout the day, as well as attracting visitors from surrounding areas. The Pig & Waffl e has undergone an extensive refurbishment to create a vibrant, warm and welcoming space for friends and families to safely enjoy drinking, dining and spending time together. The pub also has a lovely front terrace and rear garden for al fresco drinking and dining.

The Pig & Waffl e is open daily from 10am for brunch, lunch, evening tapas and drinks from a carefully curated range, from hot to cold, alcoholic to kombucha and fresh juices. Set in a tranquil garden, The Pig Pen offers a welcoming pit stop for walkers, cyclists, dog owners, locals and tourists to enjoy a coffee and cake, Riverside Dairy ice cream or a refreshing beer, glass of wine or G&T in tranquil surroundings. A range of energy products and accessories for cyclists are also on offer.

The Pig & Waffl e’s dishes are crafted from quality produce from many Northamptonshire suppliers, including free range eggs from Station Farm in Finedon, coffee from The Roastery in Wellingborough and beers from the Potbelly Brewery in Kettering. Brunch is being celebrated in a big way at The Pig & Waffl e, serving up local sausages, bacon, vine tomatoes, black pudding, haslet, eggs, fried bread, BBQ beans and fi eld mushrooms; a vegan brunch with smashed tofu, chickpea and tomato, baked avocado, hash browns, spinach, asparagus and fried bread; oysters Bloody Mary and confi t duck leg with a fried duck egg and black pudding. Of course, with waffl e in the n ame there is also a delicious selection of both savoury and sweet waffl es on offer, including BBQ pulled pork and poached egg and smashed tofu, chickpea, tomato and spinach. For dessert tempting toppings include caramelised banana waffl e, Italian meringue and pineapple and boozy fruits, white chocolate sauce and ice cream.

 In the evenings The Pig & Waffl e is serving a wonderful range of Mediterranean and British inspired tapas, with dishes including chorizo in cider, calamari, fritto miso, grilled halloumi salsa verde, Brigstock kofta, grilled artichokes, asparagus hollandaise, crispy pork belly, potted mackerel and a Northants cheese board.
