While Tamworth is widely known as the capital of Australian country music, it’s not often celebrated for its restaurant scene. However, this venue has changed all that.

Housed within one of the town's most iconic heritage buildings is The Pig and Tinderbox.

Proudly part of The Central Hospitality Group, this innovative modern restaurant tends to be packed out most nights with tropical decor and a menu that focuses on sharing. There is also an impressive drinks list with plenty of craft beers and cocktail jugs on offer.

The unusual name harks back to the old-school pubs of the past, but "The Pig" (better known to the locals) is something that will be sticking around well into the future.

    Menu is not as published on the website both before the date and checked after that booking. Very dissatisfied and would not recommend this restaurant and would not eat there again.

    Hi Andrew, thank you for visiting the Pig & Tinder Box and for the 4 stars on service and ambience. Our apology that the full menu was not available over the Tamworth Country Music Festival (TCMF). We operate a slightly reduced menu during TCMF, and this is published on our website as TCMF 2025 Menu, we also display it at the front of the building. I appreciate that you were disappointed the full menu wasn't available however the slightly reduced menu provides 80% of the normal menu. The menu is reduced slightly to ensure that we can accommodate the extra demand and provide our usual level of service, when we are serving triple our normal customers. Our sincere apology once again and hope that you enjoy the rest of your experience in Tamworth.

    Service was a little Tardy considering the amount of staff. Had a great variety of food but not the best value for money. but certainly a lovely place to meet with friends.

    My wife and I were passing through Tamworth on our 32nd wedding anniversary so we stopped for the night and booked a table for two. I mentioned on the booking we were celebrating our 32nd anniversary. When we arrived we were greeted by the the very friendly staff and shown our table where they had put a plate with hand written chocolate “Happy anniversary” with a complimentary Old Fashioned cocktail. The meal was brilliant, and the staff were fantastic and attentive. It was a pleasure to be there, thank you everyone.

    Food was disappointing. Missing attention to detail and imagination to make it something more than most people could cook at home.

    Their food never fails to disappoint. Some or most on the menu I thought were overpriced although I don’t mind spending money on food lol. Service otherwise 10/10. Definitely recommend if you visit Tamworth.
