After reading some great reviews I was excited to have the fish and chips. The fish was truly fantastic however the chips were dry and unappetizing. The server was condescending and rude; not just to our table but we noticed the same attitude to others around us. The server was very pleasant and friendly when it was time to pay the bill. This is the only the 2nd time in my life that I have not tipped a server. A good server can make even a mediocre meal a good experience but a great piece of fish and a unwelcoming server just creates a bad experience. We won't be returning.

This little gem is Awesome…the service was outstanding right along with the food. I had decided I wanted something different..for me..and ordered the Steak and Guinness Pie with mashed potatoes. DELICIOUS!!! You will not be sorry visiting this place. We will be back for sure. All the staff friendly and our actual waitress also outstanding.

Do I love this place or what! I have never been in England, but based on what I have seen in the movies, this place brings you there. Great experience, especially on the scottsh nights.

The first taste of every item was a delightful shock.
Their house made ketchup was so good, I asked to buy a bottle to take home.
The Penicillin cocktail was flavourful and satisfying.
The burger meat had me wondering if they imported the meat from some beef haven.
Fries were crispy, golden and fluffy.
They were also super accommodating to my gluten concerns.

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.

Wheelchair accessibility: I don't think it is wheelchair accessible. There is a couple stairs at the entry.

Delicious food and great atmosphere. I found the staff were very kind and helpful--they know what they're doing. The food was amazing. I had the nachos and my husband had the meat pie. It's a great place if you're looking for food that just hits home.

Fantastic vibe, delicious food and superb service. We really enjoyed the Steak and Guinness pie, especially the gravy, which was absolutely stunning. The scotch egg was also top notch. My wife and I will be back here if we take another trip up to Orillia in the future.

The whole experience was very good. The food was great and reasonably priced. The wings are really good. The French fries were homemade and the salad was wonderful. We were there for two for one small plate night so the whole meal was very inexpensive.
