Always have the best time, always a great vibe , great people and the staff are amazing �
Every visit to Hoggshead with my mates is a brilliant experience. Service, food and drinks are really good and the atmosphere on a Sunday afternoon with the live performance is something special.
My home away from home. Best place to go for a drink with your friends on a weekend after a long week or even during the week. Managers and staff are friendly and always greet with a smile. Food is great, and well priced. Sunday Funday is always a must.
My absolute favourite place to pop in for a drink or a bite to eat with friends. Food is delicious, not the usual mediocre pub fare, prices are reasonable, and the staff are super friendly and helpful. I also watch rugby here on my own fairly regularly and always feel completely safe as a woman on my own. Always a great atmosphere for the game.
First place that comes to my mind when I want to relax with chilled beer...they have a very good range of craft beers and my favourite is Hogshead Blend 24. Cannot comment much on the food as I am a vegetarian and only had chips and onion rings which were nice as well
first time iv ever been to this branch....the shots were very reasonable....nice cocktails....food was great ordered chicken strips crumbed mushroom that came with onion rings....very filling and very tasty....the cheese and bacon fries were good but didnt have much bacon, but very tasty....will for sure be back
Finally made a point to visit this spot. Great selection of beers and the platter for two was brillant, best onion rings! Try the "Snake at first bite"
Always good food and even better beer. Must visit restaurant on your bucket list, great vibe and service. Not the cheapest around but not breaking the bank either
Great place to take friends and or family to watch sports and a good outdoor vibe. Amazing service and really good sweet potato fries, ok burger.
Great menu offering - jalapeno slammers were amazing as well as the platter! Cocktail menu great and well priced. Love the big range of beers on tap.
The food was really good, steak and patties made to perfection and the Aces blonde beer was really enjoyable. My rating cannot be higher though due to the lack of service we got from the waiter. He refused to right the order down, relying on his memory and got it wrong (no surprise) and he was utterly slow. Even asking for a glass of water, the easiest request, took him forever to bring...

Hogshead Rock Cottage has great staff and the food is our standing. Great place to meet for a few cold beers and watch some sport or listen to the live music on a Sunday. Staff are friendly and managers great
Pretty decent pub atmosphere. Big screen to watch the game, friendly and fast service and reasonably priced menu...what more can you ask for in a bar
We always love going to Hogs. Our safe place with warm and friendly staff from the moment we walk in. The managers are the BEST and always around to make us smile.
Celebrated my sons 21st recently an the extra special touches meant the world to him.
The food is fantastic and always fresh and tasty.
Well done guys xxxx
Been at hogshead 4 times in 3 weeks eating different meals and the food and vibe just gets better. Friendly services. This place rocks
Keep it up management and staff!!! You are super.
Love this craft beer brewing pub. Their house beers are excellent and I definitely recommend the Red LAGER. Great beer. Pub and restaurant gets pumpin' with good music most the times. Service, not too bad. Go there often and always a good time. Cheers
Have been here a couple of times now. It is a real brewhouse-pub type of place. Lovely upper deck to enjoy the sunsets, and plenty tables and chairs downstairs both inside and out. Good vibe, cool music, but it gets busy.
These guys get the award for the best-ever starters: Crispy bacon stack and Crispy Pork Belly - it cannot be beaten with a cold beer and good company.
This is a real pub-meal eating experience - by no means "fine dining" - but for good pub food, good vibe, great service - hard to beat.
Gets an unusually good rating from me for overall experience in spite of being a franchise and a pub.
This is such a great place to go to when you want to just CHILL!! Their food is good, their staff is always friendly, and its the perfect place for a couple of drinks with all your friends! Sun-downers here are the best!
My favourite meal here: Cajun Chicken Salad!! I love how they aren't shy with the feta ;)
Craft beer and a smoker , good recipe for success . I had the eisbein which was decent size and well cooked . The crispy skin and mash was really gud . The brisket burger is huge , packed full of brisket . The chips and slaw were very avg . The burger is gud but very rich . The popper are tasty little burst of chilli and cheese . They also do a 500g burger which looks awesome , maybe on my next visit .
Great place for a few drinks and some good food. This is one of the better locals for a pleasant evening out when you want to eat and drink.
The burgers and beer was best in town! Betty served us and the service was mint! We recommend Hoggs to anyone with a juicy appetite! Well done Hoggs Head Rock Cottage. Thanks Brett (sexy bald manager)
What a fantastic experience. With a wide selection of craft on tap to the most delicious hamburgers around!! Great vibe with even better service. Now that's what you call a good time!!
Was there with a few friends for a few drinks on a Friday. Good vibes. Good service i should admit. I feel they need to have some larger screens for sports fans. Not a bad spot to hang out.
We popped in to have a beer. They have a really good choice on the tap of carft beer! The baggers are excellent I must say it's been a long time since I have had a good bugger. Services was good and very helpful on which carft beer to choose. I will be going back soon.
Really awesome burgers and ribs; not to mention all the beer-on-tap options.
Quite loud and bustling as you would expect from a pub-grub setting like that, and very popular. Great spot for a drink after work or to have lunch while watching your favorite team in action on one of their many TV's
Excellent service from Ruth.
The food was delicious...best pork belly and ribs. I will definitely be going back. Meals are well presented and delicious.
Great meal and great service from Munya. Very chilled Sunday lunch. Recommended if you just want a friendly pub atmosphere and hearty pub fare.
Great service by a great waiter sindiso. My fiance and I sat and had a couple of hunters dry draughts. I dont like lemon and she loves it and when we ordered our second drinks he noticed that i did not like the lemon and my fiance did. Will be back for sure
Hogshead has an awesome pub vibe and was a great way to celebrate a friend's birthday on Saturday. We grabbed some dinner and everyone was happy with their meals.
My boyfriend had a normal hogshead burger which he said was good but lacked sauce. I ordered the open brisket sandwich which was a really large portion, and the brisket was delicious. The bread however was drowned out by the meat, and quite soggy when I eventually got to it. Oh and their chips are really good as well. It's a great place to meet up with friends and have a good meal and a couple of drinks.
We went on Saturday to Higshead for a friends birthday! What a lovely time we had, they had a good wine list and I was able to have my favorite wine - Beyerskloof Pinotage. And my fiance looked very happy with the craft beer selection!
We arrived at about 3 and the place had such a nice vibe! We had burgers and chips that was so delicious for "bar food" once the place started filling up the waiters who has been very effective started losing control over all the tables, but although the services dipped when it got busy, we had a great evening and will definitely return!
This place has friendly service, that is sometimes a little slow but the food never disappoints. They have great fatty, fried and tasty bar food! I'd recommend almost everything on their menu. We usually order the platters which are really good.
Went through for lunch on a weekday and was seated in the dining area which was a little cold. I suggest dining in the bar area if going through in winter, as its much warmer. Temperature issues aside, the service was great, and meals were done to perfection.
Food 4/5
Service 3/5
Ambience 3/5
The ribs are absolutely awesome. I have tried them for the 3rd time (once in Douglasdale and twice at Rock Cottage) and it is definitely good quality ribs, however at RC the ribs were definitely warmed up and not as smokey as my previous experience... The smokehouse ribs are the best. A great place to relax, have a drink or two and watch the sport. However the bartender's need some serious customer service training. They seem to serve you and then forget...overall a great experience at Hogshed ☺
Spent Saturday evening here for the rugby! Awsome vibes! Awsome waiter Tobile; great service!! :D awsome shooter ladies aswell! Miss Emma and Pauline! Best burgers in town!
Always a pleasure going to Hogs. If you are in the mood for a drink or food and drinks. I have been going to Hogs for years now and I must say, after redoing their menu their food is outstanding. Good night Thunder Gun, hello Hogs...Best ribs and Eisbein I have ever had. Norbert is one of the best waiters there and always makes a plan for me no matter how full they are. Youre a great bunch of guys. Thank you Brett you guys rock!
After eating a few times at Hogshead I decided to write a review. Being technically challenged I ask Norbert to help me load Zomato. With a big smile Norbert was only to happy to help me add this app.
The new menu is divine and the service is always great. Thanks must go to all the staff for always making me feel so welcome.
The burgers and the steaks are out of this world.
Went for lunch at 2 on Friday, great service and even better food, the smokehouse ribs are some of the best I've had my bf's hogs burger was awesome too! Tried the Craft apple cider Sxollie was very good! Definitely a new favorite for smokehouse ribs

Great spot for a Sunday afternoon beer and platter - the ribs are definitely worth a try. Relaxed vibe, Friendly staff and plenty of seating space
I really enjoyed my meal and the atmosphere.Great food and very friendly staff. I would recommend this fantastic restaurant to anyone, the on tap beer adds more to the meal and the music is perfect to set a comfortable atmosphere.
Great place to visit with friends. Love their craft beer. The menu options remind me of a Texas grill with their smoked meat, brisket and pulled pork!
Lovely!
I also had a smoked halloumni salad, which is delicious!
The craft beer selection is a treat!
Great food, great vibe, tested the new menu today and gotta say the portion sizes esp on the starters are beyond undersized for the price you pay.. If this was rectified it would be amazing beyond..
Love the business card that the waiter gives you; no more forgetting who your person is!! This place has managed to convert a parking lot view into something almost coastal with cunning placement of palms and umbrellas, well done!
Great vibe, cold beers and big wine glasses..will definitely be back!
Always an awesome vibe and friendly staff and managers! Food has always been a hit and you cant go wrong with the selection of drinks! Norbert is always efficient and keeps a eye on you- THE BEST!!!!
This is a really awesome spot for a quick drink or two. We are really spoilt for choices with their craft beer on tap and theres always a great vibe to it. Theres ample seating on the top deck, outside, inside around the bar. I have only had their trinchado starter and this was creamy, packed with flavor and a good portion, but i can tell you the beers and cocktail are absolutely delish. The waiters are friendly and efficient. This is a great bar for a relaxed vibe.
Best place around , awesome vibe , awesome people , great food always especially the burgers, best service , no waiting forever to get a drink like certain places , staff are always friendly and willing

Great ambience, food is yummy, especially the burgers and well priced. The staff are very friendly and the manager, Brett is always eager to please customers and readily available to handle any issues. For all the girls out there an easy going shooter, you must definitely try the cherry popper. Hogs is great if you just want to grab a drink after work with mates, or spend the night partying into the wee hours of the morning.
The atmosphere is great , nice and vibey. Excellent selection of craft beers on tap and the best part of visiting this awesome establishment is the food. Will certainly be going back again and again.
If a meaty dinner is what we are after, then Hogshead is often our restaurant of choice. We have never been disappointed - the food is great - tasty, generous servings and the service has always been good. Loved the smokehouse options and the burgers are killer.

Thoroughly enjoyed my experience at this Hogs Head. Came to celebrate my mom's birthday and because it was her birthday they gave us Cherry Slammer shooters on the house. We then ordered Jalepeno Slammers which were absolutely delicious. Our mains were, Beef Prego Roll with mash, the mash was super creamy and the beef tender. My mom had the Thai Beef Salad which she said was amazing and my dad had the Beef Briskit Burger which he said was absolutely delicious and said he would order it again and again. The service was absolutely great and all in all a really great time. Will definitely come back here soon.
Went to Hogshead for the Smokehouse meat and Craft Beer and stumbled on a Brufest.
The promoters were out in full force with give aways and the vibe was great. I had the smoked brisket to get a sense of a smoked steak. It was absolutely brilliant. I also tasted the beef salad, niiiise. The highlight was the service from Prisca and her promoting the Hogshead brew and house beer mug to take home. Great craft beer served with brilliantly smoked meat by wonderful staff and management.
Like Schwazenegger said 'I will be back! '
Hogshead Rock Cottage was a pleasant surprise. I originally avoided it thinking that it would be too young. I was happy to be proved wrong. The energy and atmosphere was great and you could still have a conversation without screaming. I had a Pulled Pork burger and will definitely return for another one one. The craft beer was cold and wet....what more could you ask for. Brett checked in on us and made us feel like we were in a "Cheers" episode. Good guy....thanks Brett
If you really feel like a GOOD burger this is the place to get it, also a after work drink or two with friends....come here..................
Hogshead Rockcottage .....always a great vibe and if you looking for amazing service with a smile has to go to Cuthburt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hogshead Rock Cottage - an awesome and chilled vibe with great service... a special shout out to Cuthbert!!!! Food tastes great as well!!!
Easily found a table. Ivanka our waitress was speedy and on the ball. Food large portions and tasty. Cocktail missing the booze I think but everything else great.
The best pub in and around Randburg by far, the bar staff are always quick and friendly. I go there regularly to catch a big game on their big screen, the food is really good, they have a wide range of local, and craft beers, all round a good place to go and enjoy a few and one of the more friendly pubs around. If you want good service ask for Cuthburt he's always on the ball, just like all the rest of the bar staff, best in the business.
Their burgers are really good as well and so are their pizzas, always use fresh ingredients and always comes quick, 5 stars
@Cuthbert - that's a man that will make your evening! Greatest barman on the planet, perfectly accompanies one of the friendliest pubs in the world. There's a reason we call this "my lounge" - and he's a big part of it. Many thanks bra
Great management - awesome new artists - great vibe 😊 love the friendliness of the staff and bouncers at the door. Will def go again can't wait...
We enjoyed the 1kg ribs at this place however the brisket special that I wanted was out of stock. I then settled for the rump which was cooked according to my taste. Whilst eating the rump we were told of a great steak from Botswana which we 'should have' tried. It wasn't recommend until my steak had arrived. I didn't enjoy the creamed spinach served with my steak. My partners chips looked yummy.
Overall it was a decent meal
This Hogshead is way bigger than the one in Douglasdale, and shares the same fantastic menu. Unfortunately, the commitment to fast and friendly service, doesn't seem to carry across the franchise. They still stock excellent food and drinks, but if you're going to his a Hogshead, this one is only best if you're with a large enough group of people to require the extra space available.
Good value for money. A place to make great memories and fantastic energy. The food was better that expected and surprisingly very well done and worth another visit for the Pulled Pork Burger. Th perfect venue to watch the rugby or just catch up with your mates!
What an amazing vibe and service from the staff and Patrons....really amazing for a chilled out spot. You all Rock at Hogshead Rock Cottage....keep up the good work Alwyn you and the guys truly have and give an amazing atmosphere.....the Sunday music Rocks....thank you
I come here all the time after work! It's a little loud but that atmosphere is great when you want to wind down from a busy day at work. Although a little pricey (If you go there twice a week), the staff make the place because they are so friendly. Lastly their food is to die for. I always have the mini sliders

Nice setting and definitely one of the places to be on a Friday afternoon after work.One thing offsetting as a non smoker, why do the smokers have the best area in the place?Good craft beer on tap and large selection of beers are available.Food is good and average priced.
All I can say is, those burgers tho..... Probably one of the best places to have an outstanding but BIG burger. Had a great outing with the family and everyone enjoyed the service, meals and drinks. Food was absolutely unique and wonderful.
The new specials menu is awesome. We tried a starter and a main and were very impressed. The kids menu is also appreciated. Huge portions for hungry people or those that will eat left overs for lunch tomorrow. Keep up the good food.
Hogshead is a great place to visit. Atmosphere is alive. Drinks selection is awesome. Shooter girls are awesome. Cocktail menu and beer selection also awesome. Burgers are incredible .so if you want to unwind with friends visit them and enjoy and be assured youll have fun and be well fed and wont be thirsty.
Best burger Eva. Best burger Eva best burger Eva. I chase all the places to find the best burger and now hogs is the top of my list. I chase burger for now I no longer need to chase.
A bit of a dive on he wrong night but have been here a few time and have always enjoyed the variety and quality of the food. Will go back again.

Love the smoke house idea.. really rare in JHB. Good work hogshead. They have been so creative with what the idea of the restaurant must be going forward ;)
Good burgers and a nice selection of beer. The service is friendly but gets a bit slow when it's busy. Nice place to meet friends for a drink
Good selection of craft beer! Burger was good and so were the vegetables. Pleasant way to spend the afternoon... Sports bar atmosphere and lots of parking.
We ordered 3 burgers And all of them were good. We had the hogshead extreme and original. Hogshead The burgers came a bit too cooked but otherwise were done awesome. The relish, mushroom sauce was great. The buns are homemade and good. Chips were good and well salted. Overall great experience and the waiters were around just enough. Btw the onion rings are amazing!!!!
Fantastic selection of craft beers but at R37 a pint they are not cheap. A fire in winter and nothing like sitting on the big deck in summer.
The best and most relaxing pub in Johannesburg. Always has a great vibe, you always walk out knowing you have had a great night and you can go back. Nice job everyone running Hogshead.
Great place, great atmosphere, our waiter Pelson was friendly, took our orders and ensured that we were well taken care of. The food was amazing and the manger just kept popping in to check if we are okay. The music is not too loud. They even have an enclosed smoking area.
Great place for hanging out and taking some time to relax. Unique craft beers that we enjoyed tasting and exploring. The food was great and served with a great smile. There was live music and the atmosphere was amazing.
If you have a little extra in your pocket and want to spoil yourself with a good old pub experience, go to Hogshead. It's worth every penny. Waiters are attentive and helpful. Great place!
Great stuff... Just give the loaded fries a miss.... Dry, over grilled. Not what you want in loaded fries... Steak however wa excellent.
Had the most awesome date night at Hogshead Rock Cottage last night 24/11/22.
Our waitress Miss Cindy was great, the food was amazing and the atmosphere was on point. I would definitely recommend Hogshead 👌 👍
Great place, food and drinks. I was there on my 18th birthday and on a few girls nights. Definitely worth going and they are not that expensive.
Beer is always cold and fresh. Food always hits the spot. The beef brisket burger is to die for!
Hogshead has come a long way. Really enjoyed the evening. The waitress Mona Lisa gave us awesome service. Great options on food and drinks. I am rating it 1 star down, due to the shooter drinks have more sweet mixes than alcohol....makes it more of a 'girly' drink. Lol.
Brilliant cocktails and food. Sharing platter for two is delicious. Partner had "The Whole Hog Burger" and I had the Bunny Chow. Burger was tender and juicy. Bunny Chow meat was quite tough but very tasty. Excellent and efficient service received from Emmanuel.
Their food is absolutely fantastic for the price. Their waiters are super nice and helpful with the managers always willing to assist. The atmosphere is very much like a pub, with good music, a nice look and always a busy and chatty atmosphere overall.
