    Julia's is a wonderful restaurant that we always go to for special occasions. Their food is outstanding and very tasty and hot in temperature. The service is always spot on with friendly and attentive customer service. The wine and cocktails are always very cold and a great range to choose from. I highly recommend trying Julia's you won't be disappointed.

    We had a lovely family birthday lunch on the weekend. The Pig and Whistle staff were always friendly, happy to answer questions. served a cake we brought from home, provided us three candles and lit them for us. The pub ambience is very relaxed, not noisey and the lunch servings were generous. I highly recommend The Pig and Whistle.

    We had a table of 6 for the monthly Trivia Night which was lots of fun. The beers were cold, the steak cooked to perfection and the other dishes at the table - fish tacos, chicken parma, chicken pie and vegetarian pasta all looked great and were very tasty by all accounts. Have been there many times and will be back again. Always a great night.
