    Authentic British pub experience with great food and even better service. The French Onion Soup and Caesar Salad were outstanding. Everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed the evening and are looking forward to going back!

    Food was not as good as I expected since it is an English pub and I ordered fish and chips Portions are large but the plates too small to accommodate Service was good and the atmosphere was really nice

    A great restaurant and a warm British pub. Home-made Steak & Guinness Pie and French Onion Soup, cold beers and fun cocktails, AND the Stones on the speakers! Love this place.

    What a lovely little pub. Loved the ambience, the staff, the friendliness. The only thing I feel was negative was the uncomfortable seats. I was seriously uncomfortable after sitting for only fifteen minutes. I think cushions on the chairs and benches is a 'must have'. It will keep me from returning, otherwise I would go frequently. I am impressed that the Hog & Penny supports the Orillia Opera House, and our visit was a pre-show dinner date. I would like to make it a ritual when going to the Opera House. Please invest in some comfortable cushions on your chairs and benches, and I will be very happy to visit this pub often.

    Hi Sylvia, Thank you for letting us know about the seats! We always want our guests to be comfortable - we have blankets and pillows around for this exact reason. Feel free to ask a server for one next time you are in! Thanks and hope to see you soon!
