“The Pig in the Parlour” is a phrase that refers to a historical practice where pigs were sometimes kept inside a family’s home, particularly in rural or cottage settings. This practice was more common in earlier centuries when people lived in small, simple homes and had a closer connection between their domestic animals and daily life, much like the families who lived on Pig’s Lane long ago.
In such situations, a small section of the cottage, often called the “parlour,” would be used to house a pig.
Today, among other nods to our historical roots, we pay a tribute to the traditions of old with our lovingly curated cocktail ‘The Pig in the Parlour’ featuring Pearse 7yr Irish Whiskey, White Port, Plum Cider Cordial, Citrus, Apricot & Peach Soda Water.
