At Pignut & The Hare we want to combine the historical ambience of the Hare Inn Scawton and the innovation of Pignuts food, while offering an experience that honours the past while embracing the future, where our food philosophy is more than a set of principles—it's a love letter to the land, sea, and seasons that shape our region. In our dedication to the power of local, each dish is a narrative created by the hands of local farmers and suppliers.
Our commitment to pushing culinary boundaries is evident in our innovative food and wine pairings. Here, we go beyond convention, inviting you to taste the unexpected as natural, biodynamic wines complement dishes celebrating the diverse flavors of our region. But Pignut is more than a restaurant; it's a space where experiences are made, and community is fostered. Join us in celebrating the art of connection, where every meal is an opportunity to create and evoke memories and build relationships.
Casual by atmosphere, exceptional by nature
At Pignut, we're not just serving food, we're crafting experiences, fostering community, and celebrating the natural world.

View our menus
Our menu has just a simple description as we would like the element of surprise to be incorporated into the dining experience. We outline the main ingredient and its provenance but we will explain when the food arrives how this is served and garnishes that are included within the dish. We can adapt the menu for pescatarians, Gluten Free and Nut free as long as you let us know before you arrive. For any other dietary requirements if you email us at info@restaurantpignut.co.uk, we will try our best to accommodate them.
