I had a wonderful time. I've been here on a couple of occasions and the overall experience has always been good. The food is delicious and the drinks are great. If you like beer you can enjoy their range of craft beer!

What a vibrant place!! Very welcoming, staff are helpful and super friendly. Great for sundowners on a Friday afternoon, great for the family on Saturday at breakfast. The food is good, the pricing is good and the service is good.

Local, well-loved pub with a large selection of beers on tap.
Beers include an array of craft options as well as the mainstream favourites.

Service is of a high standard and prices are reasonable and market related.

They also have their own app with a loyalty program which gives fantastic specials.

Highly recommended.

Really enjoyed the food and the overall vibe of the place. Waiter Anthony was very polite and friendly. Burger lunch special till 2pm is a must have. Juicy burgers, cold beverages and great ambiance. Great place to catch up.

Being a fairly frequent patron at Rock cottage branch with outstanding service and never had a bad experience I assumed the service levels would be the same at this branch.

Firstly, hogs is know for its higher grade tequila options. Out of stock on all tequilas with an excuse that the supplier is out of stock, for 5 days. . I'm sorry, as a manager/owner be proactive enough to pop over the road to pnp and go by a bottle or 3 tequila while wait for stock. Our group have previously left establishments because of not selling tequila. None the less, we let it go and moved on with our stay. Our purpose for the day out together at hogs was to knock back a couple of tequilas

Secondly, now for the really disappointing part, the food. I have ordered the hogs "award" winning burger with all my previous visits at rock cottage branch and hard to find a better burger in jhb , this was the driving factor as to why we came to hogs, was purely for a good decent burger and tequila . The burger literally came with 1 piece of caramelized onion (the main topping).

Upon requesting the manager it had taken Jeff 8 min to arrive to look into my complaint, by then my food was cold and the rest of my group was nearly done with their meals. I expected more considering this is a franchise/chain as there are obvious standards to uphold as a franchisee.

None the less, I won't be back at this branch, would recommend to any clients to drive 5kms down the road and get top notch service from the Rock cottage branch.

Rant over - PS, Jeff's management skills are extremely poor from what I gathered during our encounter. No wonder the kitchen staff and staff in general are below mediocre.

Not one to complain easily, but I am disappointed, will keep my hogs visits to Rock cottage, thanks
