Went for lunch on a week day, the meals are huge. I had one of the chicken sandwiches/burgers that came with pig tail (curly) fries, it was more than I could eat therefore brilliant value for money. They also hand out containers for anyone who can't finish their meals so they are able to take them home. The service was great too, it has a very relaxed atmosphere, very casual. There is a nice area outside but all undercover to get away from the area that is more like a pub. On the other hand I did go back for dinner on a sunday night, it was completely full, so I turned around and left but would recommend booking or arriving early, also it feels a lot more like a pub at night, and there are bouncers outside at night. And more of a warning they have signs up about hoodies, and I have also heard from friends that they will make you take your hoody off or leave, just something to take into consideration. I would definitely recommend the Pig and Whistle for lunch, it is very family friendly and there is also a children's menu.
