    Service, food, atmosphere is spot on, the coffee is on par with Square Mile (Extrait coffee) - amazing sausages, the bacon was thick af, spicy beans is a new one for me, such good value and the lady serving is top notch! 20 for full fry up plus drinks, you get what you pay for and it’s worth paying. Will be back! So impressed x

    Went for breakfast on Saturday morning during our stay in Bristol when we couldn’t get in elsewhere and we were glad in the end! The breakfast we had was really good and I would definitely go there again if we were ever in the area to try the main menu too.

    I had walk past Pigsty for months and never really given it a second look; I was always tempted to get a bap on the way into lectures but never bothered. I’m glad to say that I waited until I could have a sit down meal to enjoy it properly. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. I particularly enjoyed the crumpet because it was so light. Service was genuinely charming and the environment is just as nice.
