Hog N' Penny

A classic pub. Good food, good service, and a great atmosphere. Not busy and a great place to have a meal with friends or family. A hidden gem.

First time visiting this small downtown pub. We went between meal times and the place was quiet with maybe 2 other tables in use. The beer (Kilkenny) was good, though quite expensive at $8.50 a pint. The meals were a little variable. I had fish and chips. The chips were very good. The fish was very dark and the batter brittle, like it had been over fried, or twice fried. There was a smattering of coleslaw on the side as well. My wife had the pulled pork sandwich with fries. She said it was ok, but nothing special. The other meal was a poutine and it was a decent size and the gravy was good. For the 3 of us with. 2.5 pints of beer and a large wine + the meals, it $93 + tip. The service was ok. There was just one person running the front at the time we went, but he was reasonably attentive in that small space. Overall I was hoping for a bit better on the food front, and maybe a better deal on the beer in a small family run place.

I mean....they have Old Speckled Hen. Do you know many places that do around here? Also - atmosphere put the yazoo. Wild. I felt like I was in England (having lived there)!

Great place for a Speciality Draft and bottle beers. Has a very traditional Pub feeling. Great staff and always has a great group of ppl there on their off time. Has the true look of a Irish/Scottish Pub House. Great Pub foods. Beef & Barley soup is my favorite. Have great time!!

Great local pub we always visit when we're in Orillia
