I was served the most delicious burger I’ve ever eaten.
The made in house patty was succulent and cooked to perfection.
The boar bacon was juicy.
The pickled onions were the perfect pucker-y condiment.
The local cheese was divine.
Pair that with their top notch fries, beautifully seasoned and served with a house made ketchup.
I’ve been dreaming about it since.
Our server was wonderful, A1 service!

The Hog & Penny offers an authentic British pub atmosphere with friendly service. Guests can enjoy delicious English food, including the winter salad, Welsh rarebit, Scotch egg, and Bib salad, in a cozy setting with live music on Sundays. The staff is engaged and accommodating, creating a warm and lively environment that makes it a great spot for a meal or drinks.
The restaurant is known for its mouthwatering burgers, featuring a succulent, house-made patty cooked to perfection and topped with juicy boar bacon, pickled onions, and divine local cheese. Paired with beautifully seasoned, house-made fries and ketchup, the burgers have been described as a "spiritual" dining experience. The Innis & Gunn beer is served ice-cold, adding to the warm and welcoming atmosphere.
Customers have also raved about the Steak and Guinness Pie with mashed potatoes, calling it "delicious" and a must-try. The pub’s Scottish nights provide a fun experience for those wanting a taste of England. Visitors enjoy the fish & chips, praising the crispy batter and plump fish, along with the chicken sandwich and burger, with fries often described as perfection. Many mention that the food is amazing and the prices are reasonable. The staff are super friendly and often give recommendations around town. The lively vibe makes it feel like being in an Irish pub, with perfect Guinness poured every time.
Recent reviews highlight the pub's excellent food, a nice selection of beer, and the owner’s engagement with customers. The noise level can be a bit high due to the pub’s smaller size, which makes conversation a little harder. Meal service is quick, and the sticky toffee pudding is often praised as the best ever. Groups of nurses have enjoyed free-flowing El Dorado rum and the fish & chips, appreciating the friendly atmosphere and accommodating staff, especially on themed nights like Dolly Parton night. Overall, The Hog & Penny remains a favorite spot in downtown Orillia, known for its fun atmosphere, great service, and authentic English pub experience.
