Pigs and Pints

Came here for a lunch with a bunch of friends and they put us in this back room with the large dining table which was awesome because we had a little child with us in the group and the parents liked knowing he couldn’t wonder off to far. Add the vintage display cabinet, old skool chairs and bench seating you’d be forgiven to think your were at a friends uni flat with free furniture.
Really enjoyed the mass variety of food and the sliders were exceptional. I really wanted one of everything tbh! After the lunch few of the lads went up to the bar and they had roughly 4 – 5 different beers on tap. All locally brewed at Byron bay brewery. That we did actually have one of each.
The barmen weren’t very engaging at first but as the beers flowed they seemed to relax a bit and enjoy our company.
Over all good experience and would love to return.

Most burger places these days seem to focus on «bigger is better», often resulting in messy meals that are hard to finish or even fit in your mouth in the first place, with juice dripping down the arms and staining your favourite shirt. Thank god for Pigs and Pints, a fantastic gourmet slider burger place. Slider burgers are tiny little burgers that focus on simplicity and flavour, not size.
I ordered the $ 20 special, which got me 3 sliders (or ‘pigs’), a bowel of home made potato crisps, and a pint of beer. The crisps were delicious, crunchy, and expertly hand crafted, with just enough salt and herbs. The burgers themselves were served in a little black box, which the waitress open like she was revealing buried treasure. Probably because real treasure lay inside. The first slider contained a good slice of slow cooked pork belly with a sweet and spicy jam. The second was simply called ‘the cheese burger’ and is apparently one of the most popular; perfectly fried halumi, lemon and herb dressing and rocket. The final slider, grilled tofu, was the weakest of the bunch with not much flavour and tofu that was a little dry. But that didn’t stop me from ordering two more sliders: a spicy salmon, and a tai chicken. Both were great. A great night out for a group of friends that want to try something a little different.
