The Pig at the Chefs Warehouse was a huge success
Posted: Nikki on May 6, 2010

We love Neil Jewell and everything that he creates and we’re always delighted when other people love him (and everything he creates too).

Jamie Who attended The Pig and, judging from the review, he thoroughly enjoyed his experience. The review is well written and an all round fantastic read. Serious we’re not just saying that because Jamie said such nice things … we genuinely enjoyed it. In fact we’re long time fans of Jamie Who, we dig him in a totally non-dodgy kind of way.
