Grand Opening of THE FLYING PIG, Goose Green,


Recommended Posts

We went on Sunday for lunch. Took 40-50 mins for our burgers to arrive, with one of them arriving about 10 mins after the other two. It wasn't really that busy, and the lady who sad down and ordered about 15 mins after us got her burger first. Being polite Brits we didn't start to eat until the final burger arrived, so two out of 3 burgers were cold. Having read forum reviews we noted chip portions - still a bit on the small side, I had 8. they were nice chips though.


don't think we'll go back - atmosphere wasn't that great, it was cold by the door and the food wasn't amazing.

Visited the other evening. Summary: Chip portion size still too small. Bbq ribs just a little better than a fried chicken shops ribs. Brisket very small. Service polite but a tad slow. Food prices much too high for quality/portions size. Hope the chef covers his beard when in kitchen. I won't be visiting venue on a regular basis.
The Flying Pig describes itself as "Craft Beer Pub & BBQ", so I wouldn't judge it solely on their food. In fact, I wouldn't judge it on their food at all - had a fine Sunday afternoon in there trying a few different beers, all of which were well-kept and tasty. Friendly and laid-back atmosphere. I like it.

The burger I had on Sunday was enormous. I could scarcely eat it all, and I was very hungry :)


It was also by far the best burger I have had round here.

Agreed, I see it as a very good craft beer pub with some decent food on the side rather than the other way around. Maybe get the local Clarkshaws in?...

Went in last Thursday and they were having a bit of a nightmare. It was very busy (a good sign) but they were horribly understaffed. Then, when the bar was at it's busiest their tills all crashed and were down for about 15 minutes, meaning they weren't able to serve or give change to those waiting for it.


I ate there for the first time and was a bit disappointed. I had babyback ribs- the sauce tasted burnt. I appreciate it's bbq food, but this wasn't good burnt, and the chips were dreadful. Dry to the point of crumbling in my hand. I would have taken them back but the staff were under too much pressure already. The other half's pulled pork was good though- perhaps the best i've had.


On that note- has anyone seen any pork recently that hasn't been 'pulled'?

    • again - all of this is inherited - but where was the outrage from you before Labour were elected? How is it down to a new Labour govt that the far right have a massive boost?   I think there is a lot of accurate points In this post - but ultimately the response to that (and I'm not accusing you of responding differently - but we can see how others are) should be " huh - they are finding their feet lets see what the next reshuffle brings"  - rather than millions of people demanding an immediate election on spurious grounds of "damaging the economy" when those same people accused likes of me of "project fear" over Brexit
    • I said they are peering into the hole - not in it....yet!!! 😉 I think they know what they want to do but they also know how difficult it is going to be to do it and they knew it before the election but, clearly, could not verbalise the challenge ahead. They lent in way too much on the "we're not that lot and that lot are awful". They used the 24 hour news and social cycle to keep driving home that message - they got social media cheerleaders to ram home the point for them and call out the evil of Tory behaviour and drown out any semblance of rational election debate. Labour got into power and then started behaving exactly how the Tories had been and suddenly those very tactics are now being played back to them and now they are being drowned out. I am not convinced Labour have enough talent on the front benches in this particular cabinet to turn this around - I fear they lack the experience and leadership to be able to try and navigate the choppy waters they are facing - some them act like councillors rather than cabinet members. I watch so many media interviews with various cabinet ministers and they look out of their depth and seem utterly clueless on what line they should be pitching - it's car crash interview after car crash interview and the more they keep using the "after 14 years of Tory rule" as an excuse for everything, a bit like the "I am a son of a toolmaker" people will think they are all spin and no substance.
