LOVED the meal! 6 family members ate here today at 1pm. Was easy to book through their online reservations. Friendly staff, cool atmosphere, delicious food! All of us Scotch Eggs for an appetizer and would highly recommend it. The the mains: we had Fish and Chips, Nachos Sharables, and wings. We have been here a few times and will definitely go back. I'm going to try going here sometime when they have live entertainment. I hear it's fun too!

So this is a hidden gem IMO. Found it by accident when the tapas place we were going to go was closing the kitchen for the night. My wife and I went to the Hog after going to Rama. This place has everything I want in a pub. Small, dark, live music and great food. There was a great band, bagpipes, guitar and banjo playing celtic tunes. Obviously we decided to stay and sat in the eclectic little pub. There were some issues with the drinks, my wife wanted a White Russian, but they didn't have any coffee liqueur. She opted for a more UK friendly gin and tonic. I had one of the craft beers made for them by Quayles Brewery. We ordered food, the Ploughmans Platter... hearty fieldworkers lunch - cheeses, meats pickles and one of the best breads I have ever had. We also has scotch eggs, which were 100% perfect. Also, Brussel sprouts cooked in the modern fashion, crispy baked (?) seasoned very nicely. I will 100% return, with my guy friends. Beer, live music, great small plate food. I look forward to trying the other dinner options, I suspect the sausage and mash will be amazing. The value was decent by modern standards. Good enough that I have already told several people.

Authentically British pub in downtown Orillia that serves up an excellent selection of brews on tap, and fantastic fish & chips, with a smile. The sidewalk patio faces a quiet street for your outdoor dining. Check it out, you won't be disappointed!!

A proper British pub! I stepped inside and felt right at home. Best Fish and chips I've had so far in Canada, it even came with homemade ketchup and mayo

★★★★★

Great food, vibe and service. Went here with my British friends and we were all impressed. The hog and penny calls itself an “authentic British pub” and rightfully so. We were delightfully surprised by the quality of the food, and vibe. While most British pubs in Canada are tacky and lame, the hog and penny feels as close as you could get to a local pub back in the U.K. Service was friendly and prompt without being over the top. Some great beer served on tap (including Tennents Scottish lager which is quite a rare find in Canada!) Food was really great, good portion, and the pub even makes its own sauces, I asked for mayo and was given a delicious home made pot.

UPDATE came back for another live performance of Sawyer! Never disappoints! This time we ordered the fish and chips and Caesar salad. My niece ordered the steak and ale pie. The gravy when you dipped the fries into it OMG! The best! Came for the evening to hear great music Sawyer Lance was singing live!! He was awesome. Had some great food and drinks. A very cute bar great atmosphere. Definitely need to check it out if you have never been.

The best and possibly the only real British Pub in Orillia. Finally got to check out the new addition to the restaurant scene here on the strip. So the wings and classic stuff are good but the real prize includes the Fish and Chips, Chicken Sandwich, Salad and the true British pub food. Excellent selection of beers. The Fish & Chips were a true hit and so worth ordering. The team here knows what they are doing with their potatoes and both the mash and the fries are some of the best I have ever had. This place is so worth the visit.

Step in and brought lovely memories of British pubs we had visited in the UK. The server was wonderful and patient with questions about vegan requirements. The food: one word-Incredible! We had a favourite pub while across the pond and this one reminded me so much of it. We have tried many British pubs here in Canada through they years and this one is tops. From homemade sauces to the perfect presentation and temperature of food to every bite of perfection. A star in Orillia dining for sure!

My favourite English pub in all of Ontario. The food, service and atmosphere are phenomenal. Incredible Scotch list too! Please visit this incredible pub.

Had been once before and enjoyed myself and the food. Thought I would share The Hog with a friend from out of town. Staff was very friendly, knowledgeable about the menu, beers and drinks. We ordered the Brussel sprouts as an appetizer. My friend and I love brussel sprouts and it was recommended by our server, but these were very disappointing. When asked how our meal was I told our server that they were terrible. They were bitter, tough and I think burnt. I had honey wings. Crispy and tasty. My friend ordered the fried chicken sandwich with fries. She tried to cut it in half and found it difficult. She then removed most of the coating because it was burnt . She ate the chicken with a knife and fork and discovered it was not white meat, as described by our server, but dark meat. Not only that, there were bones in it. To say we were shocked is an understatement. We did not know how to react! We asked for our bill and after waiting for quite a long while approached the cash register. After printing out the bill, my friend suggested we should get at least a discount on the brussel sprouts and chicken sandwich. He complied. We have been discussing our experience and feel that the discount was not adequate for the terrible food. Thus this review. We may have mishandled the situation but not as much as the staff did. I will not be returning to The Hog and Penny .

With daily specials, fun events and did I mention superb cooking the food here is classic, comforting and good for the soul. Always a must visit when in the area.

We went for a beer and ordered a ploughmans platter. We couldnt be more disappointed just look at the picture. Two big pieces of cheese but not enough bread to eat it with. Butter, that was supposed to be smoked but tasted very plain, not enough bread. So when the waiter came we asked if we could have a bit more bread, he said yes and brought two more pieces, but he never clarified it was for an extra price. We realized when we checked the bill! As a suggestion put more bread or crackers to spread the two huge pieces of cheese because eating cheese alone is kind of boring. Like one loaf of bread is usually 5 dollars the same amount we paid for two extra slices. Staff was friendly.

After a long day of traveling on our boat, my husband and I decided to go out for dinner. The Hog & Penny was one of the few places open on a Monday in Orillia, and it was a great choice. The service was wonderful, and we shared the fish and chips, which were delicious. The homemade ketchup was a tasty and unique experience that added a nice touch to our meal. Overall, The Hog & Penny provided a delightful dining experience with great food and friendly service. We highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good meal in Orillia.

Finally, a British Pub that actually feels like a pub back home. Rare to find in N. America. The Hog and Penny is fantastic and captures the proper pub environment. Beer, service, and food are all excellent. Added bonus they have Fullers London Pride on draft and a good selection of beere. Very excited that this place seems to be thriving. Best fish and chips Ive had this side of the pond. Truly excellent. Scotch nights are excellent, but you need to book ahead. Great place and very happy to have a place like this in Orillia.

Hello, I had an absolutely delightful dining experience at the Hog and Penny, thanks in large part to the exceptional service provided by Vanessa. She was attentive, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure that my experience was perfect. Her recommendations were spot on, and her warm demeanor made me feel truly valued as a customer. The food was delicious, the ambiance was lovely, but it was Vanessa s outstanding service that truly made my visit memorable. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a live music dining experience. Thank you, Vanessa, for making my afternoon so special! -Kylene

Great spot on a Sunday afternoon. Live Music. Authentic British pub atmosphere. Phenomenal service. Had the winter salad and it was delicious. Radicchio, endive, celeriac, blue cheese walnuts; all melded together with a tangy vinaigrette. And zero alcohol Guiness. So nice to have the option of no alcohol.

December 22, 2023

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.

We (a group of 6) were excited to visit this spot as we have been to the other two locations by the same owners. Drinks were great, service was good. Food however wasnt great at all. Overcooked fish and fries, hard bread with the French dip, no Dip with the French dip either! Scotch egg was good. Bangers were dry and the mash was apparently bad - but we werent told that until the others in our party were already served. So we were disappointed by all that. Server offered to make things better which was great of her. We hope this feedback is useful.

Food was horrible. Fish and chips overcooked, French dip bread was stale and despite the name came with no dip. Had to ask for something and basically got an oxo cube in hot water. Bangers and mash after everyone else was served they informed us that the potatoes were bad (?) so they would substitute fries or we could order something else. Bangers were dry and tasteless. Only good thing was the scotch eggs. Drinks were good.

We were really excited to try this pub again since we heard it was under new management who had lots of experience and talent in the restaurant business. The pub itself has always been a delightful space. Cozy with a real English pub vibe. It could be freshened up. The collection of beers though, on tap especially is really good. Service was also good. The food left a lot to be desired. The menu is small, which would be more than tolerable if everything offered was good. It s always been a great spot for a beer.

Love the space and the atmosphere. Really fills in a missing piece of downtown. Love the thought out beer selection, all the live entertainment, and always the best staff who always seem like they are happy to be there- which is great for setting a nice vibe. Oh also, when there isnt live music I appreciate the playlist! I cant really rate the food because I am stuck in a loop of only ordering the nachos. They are so simple but so perfect and delicious. I will be there after eating a dinner, see plate after plate of nachos come out and then I cave and order them right at last call. Every time. As somone who has to put kids down before I can make it out, would love the hours to extend by an hour on the weekends :)

And the bar tender was very informative and nice to us it didnt feel like over the top just a friendly little pub. Definitely will be back for trivia on Thursday and music on Friday!

Seems like a friendly place, unfortunately because they where so busy the last few days, they ran out of food so I can not comment on the food. Interestingly this has never happened to me before. I will have to try them again.

Boring. Tiny little pub with confusing decor- mix of Scottish and British yard sale looking items - seats maybe 40 not including the bar stools which were in bad shape. Items that were supposedly on offer were unavailable We ordered a couple of pints and the Feta Bruschetta which we didnt enjoy and didnt finish; warm bruschetta mix on too thick and insufficiently toasted baguette which of course became mushy. Not likely to visit again

An UK Pub in Orillia? Thats right they manage to capture the look and feel of a Pup you would see in Ireland or the UK, with great drink options. Well worth going to for a quite drink one evening, and trying some of there Food as well.

We go here as often as we can, wonderful, quaint, and perfectly old world. It s a little off the main drag, and isn t the place for a party or dancing, but if your looking for a place to relax, catch up, share a laugh or simply pass some time pleasantly, it s your best bet in Orillia. They have a decidedly British decorated interior, complete with legitimate premier league scarves and towels, pub signs, etc. Beer selection is UK specific, very good, and priced well. Guinness, Harp, Tetleys, Old Speckled Hen, Tennents and more fill their tap. The food is traditional pub fare, served quickly and easily. All in all, great place and totally worth it!
