Love this place! Our 3rd visit in the 7 months we've lived here. We arrived mid afternoon to find it well filled with rugby fans, watching the various big screen TVs. You order at the bar and seat yourself. Menus are at the bar on the counter, along with a list of specials. Beer specials are on the blackboard. The food is insanely falvorful and authentic British. We had the chicken/leek pie and the beef and root vegetable stew with an appetizer of a flatbread with lamb. The service is cheerful, welcoming, and quick! We always feel transported to England for the time we spend here, a mini vacation from normal life. And they pay their staff a living wage so no tipping is required. Bravo!! And continued success in 2026. We'll be back!

Great experience at Fiddlin’ Pig! Service was top notch! We really enjoyed our dinners and drinks. We’re grateful that the amazing owners were there, and we got to hear how they created this incredible English pub in the quaint town of Smithfield. This place checks all the boxes. Great food, service, and atmosphere. Sit inside it outside and you’ll have a great time. Living forward to coming back.

We are new to town and we absolutely LOVE this place. It was my husband, my 8year old daughter and myself and we loved everything about this restaurant/pub! We even got to play games while we waited to eat. Delicious food and cocktails and the atmosphere is so awesome, so authentic (British style). The staff is awesome and the owner is super friendly and really loves what he does you can tell and engages with customers etc. You can't go wrong going to the fiddling pig! Our favorite!!

Wow, this place is fantastic! So glad I stumbled upon it. Staff was super friendly, atmosphere was on point and the food was absolutely delicious. I started with the Fish Bites. They were cooked perfectly with a super crunchy batter. For my main course, I went with the Steak and Ale Pie, which was served with mashed potatoes, brown gravy and mushy peas. Of course, I had to wash it all down with a couple of proper pints. The portions were huge and I could barely finish half of what I ordered. After I went to settle the tab, I tried to leave a tip and was told they wouldn't accept it, as they follow the European model for dining. Wow. I will most definitely be back here next time I am in town and if you're in the area, I highly recommend you pay them a visit!

This was our first time here. I got the chicken, leek, and mushroom pie. It was absolutely wonderful. The crust was tender and flaky and the pie was so tasty. The potatoes and mashed peas were a wonderful addition. My husband got the Shepard pie and he loved it. He said the vegetables and the lamb was excellent and loved the potatoes on top. We will be returning. The atmosphere was totally a British pub style.

Real authentic British pub in the heart of Smithfield. Actual meat pies and mushy peas on the menu. Great atmosphere with actual snugs in the back. Outdoor seating as well. Pubs games. Chess. What's not to like.

This place is a definite must when visiting the area. Dined in for dinner last night. We had for an appetizer the Scotch egg, and for our main entree my husband had the fish and chips and I had the Wellington beef Scottish style, and for dessert we had the bread pudding. Everything was excellent cooked perfectly. I will definitely be coming back here. You order at the counter, You seat yourself We sat in the back room by the fireplace. Super awesome atmosphere.

This is a must go to place anytime you're around Smithfield! You give your food and drink order at the bar when you first come in. The atmosphere is that of a bar right out of an English novel. There were a nice selection of English Beers. I ordered Scotch Egg to start and Lamb Biryani as my main course. I wanted to get a wider range of their menu. So I also ordered a Steak and Ale Pie from their Pub Classic section of the menu. For Dessert I go Bread Pudding. It didn't take long after we sat down that our food arrived. The Scotch Egg has the uniquely fried crust. As I cut into the it the thicken yellow yoke oozed out. It was fried just right and had superior taste. The lamb had the tenderness of a stick of butter. It was cooked perfectly to my request, medium-well. It came with spice rice incorporated with braised lamb pieces, carrots, onions and golden raisins. The seasoning was delicious and presentation was nothing less than 5-Stars. The Steak and Ale Pie came with mash potatoes and a side of gravy and smash peas. The juicy steak was surrounded by a properly cooked pie crust. The flavors were delicious and the meat filled every part of the inner crust. I enjoyed every bite. The mashed potatoes were whipped to a smooth consistency. And popped once I added what I believe was homemade gravy. The Bread Pudding was warm and came with a caramel sauce. It was one of the best I ever had and each bite was like a dream. I got to meet the owner David and he is a very delightful fello. The entire staff was very friendly and quick to help and answer any questions.

Absolutely love everything about this establishment. I felt like I was in a pub across the pond. The food is absolutely DELICIOUS. We went for St Patrick's weekend and they had specials that made the vibe feel amazing. Guinness was there with 3D printer to print your foam on your pints. They handed out mini pint glasses. My favorite was the dessert, the cream was SO good and airy with Irish cream folded in it. They had bagpipes playing outside on the terrace. This will definitely be a place we visit often as "new locals" 🇮🇪

Great food, great drinks, and an even better vibe. The Fiddlin’ Pig has a cozy, lively atmosphere, delicious pub fare (highly recommend the pretzel and the fish and chips is to DIE for!! ) … and always a delicious drink selection. The service was friendly and attentive, making the whole experience feel welcoming and easy. Definitely a place I’ll be back to! 🍻
