Review Hogs Head - Johannesburg

Tumelo Dee
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.
Gabaiphiwe Mafora
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.
Rejean Ferreira
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!
Rudy Van Den Berg
Great stuff... Just give the loaded fries a miss.... Dry, over grilled. Not what you want in loaded fries... Steak however wa excellent.
Vincent Aube
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 👌 👍
Andrea Els
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.
Trevin Maharaj
Beer is always cold and fresh. Food always hits the spot. The beef brisket burger is to die for!
Vallen Nambiar
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.
Tayla Archer
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.
Jana Cronje
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.
Wayne Chowles
I had a great afternoon there watching the rugby, good beer,food is tasty and Cindy was an awesome waitress, my glass was never empty!
Matt Cross
Great place for a few drinks to unwind ornfor a party. Great service, great food and good vibes. This place has become my local and I always have a great time there. The staff are very friendly and always welcoming.
Lieslmari Neethling
Had a spectacular afternoon/evening. Great food, perfect atmosphere and our waiter, Marshall, was amazing!
Damian SmĂŻlĂšy Walkow
I must say, the food here is pathetic.... Ordered jalapeño slammers and they are supposed to be stuffed with cheese, they were completely empty. Pathetic service from the manager as well, recommend not ordering any food here at all. Pathetic.
Mix Panda Thomson
Best service. Best timeïżœ never a dry night!! Always have fun always a good place to start the night

Ryan Malan
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.
Bridge Weber
I enjoy going to Hogshead, the vibe is always good. Their is a variety of cocktails and shooters, which is good. Their food is delicious too.
Zane Marriott
Shocking service. Been plenty times before with no issues and great food. Yesterday - Manya brought our drinks and we didn't see him for at least another half hour. Won't be back.
Bianca Bredenoord
Most attentive waitron ever- Sindiso. Will be asking for him again. But the food needs some work.
Marty Vader Wright
Great service but food prices have rocketed and on the sliders you don't get chips anymore. Very disappointing
Matt Cross
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.
Sunel Hamman
We enjoyed the tapas style starters, in particular the crispy pork belly. The smoked brisket was also really good. The service was open and friendly. When my husband complained about the egg on his steak, it was immediately whisked away and shortly replaced with a perfect one. Upon mentioning that his rump steak was not as tender as it should be, the manager promptly appeared, apologized profusely, said it would be followed up with their supplier, also insisting on making another meal for free, which wasn't necessary, and in the end taking it off our bill! We had a great time, food was good, drinks galore to choose from, even the kids was sorted. The only let down of the evening was the cigarette smoke filling the whole restaurant - but this is a pub after all, so this is to be expected. Overall a good place for meeting friends to watch the game with drinks and a bite to eat.
Belinda Glenn
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.
Kutloano
Service was good. I’d like to say I enjoyed myself but experience was ruined when we discovered a roach in my girlfriend’s Mojito. Couldn’t enjoy myself after that incident.
Ravi Sankar
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
Inge Smith
If you are looking for a publunch with excellent craft beers and food, this would be it. Great for catching a rugby game and a beer. Service is good and friendly. The bathroom needs a bit of tlc.<br/>
Tarryn
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
Jeanine Hartog
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"
Tyrone Ludick
I dont usually spend my drinking time at Hogshead, but Friday Afternoon 26th October at 15:30-17:00, while we sitting inside, Thieves decide to break into my Fiesta and steal my laptop and Spare iphone.Why are there even security guards...  Disappointed.
Andre Kleynhans
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
Jessica Armstrong
Nice little place for a drink, average pub grub type food but the atmosphere is quite nice, it’s in a very good spot. If you’re up for a party it’s a sure thing here. Don’t come here if you’re wanting a quiet meal though it won’t happen. All in all it’s a nice place to go for after work drinks.
Sweet Tooth
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.
Usha
I loved the vibey atmosphere music ambience. Unfortunately for me I was disappointed in my #pulled pork burger ,to much horseradish took away from the taste of the pork . Which was just smoked pork no added flavour (my fault I watch to much DDD on food network) My hubbies brisket was nice . Nothing to rave about . Waiter was friendly .
Tamzin Stone
Food is really good nice portions and affordable, I suggest platters as it's more for less but the music sucks and the seats aren't the comfortable.
Megz Skye
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.
O-Mizu Satori
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...
Andrew William James Jones
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 <br/>
Neville Giliomee
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
A Foodie Travels
We came here for a birthday party. Service was intermittent due to it being a busy night. Had chicken breast strips that luckily weren't too dry. Pesto sauce should be barbeque as doesn't suit the food .My cousin had meditterran salad and she didn't like it at all
Geordie Browne
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. <br/>Celebrated my sons 21st recently an the extra special touches meant the world to him. <br/>The food is fantastic and always fresh and tasty. <br/>Well done guys xxxx
Bernito Jacobs
Been at hogshead 4 times in 3 weeks eating different meals and the food and vibe just gets better. Friendly services. This place rocks<br/> Keep it up management and staff!!! You are super.
Clinton Milne
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
Diederik Van 't Hof
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.<br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>Gets an unusually good rating from me for overall experience in spite of being a franchise and a pub.
Crissy Van Zyl
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!<br/> <br/><br/>My favourite meal here: Cajun Chicken Salad!! I love how they aren't shy with the feta ;)
LoveLee
The food was okay, the ribs were very dry and tasteless. Enjoyed the cocktail menu, but that was about the highlight of the night. The craft beer selection was a bonus.
Chris De Beer
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 .
Carole Craggs
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.
Jalapeño Popper
A Monday night and limited steakhouses open saw us heading to hogshead.... ambiance is as all pubs should be, loud and a lot of laughter. Desperate for a good steak I ordered the ladies fillet and salad.... steak was medium rare and not my usual rare, pity as it was tasty.... salad was good and a decent portion, but the dressing let it down... my word the sauce I had with the steak was incredible... I think it was called nduna, brandy, mushroom, cheese and something else... just too little. My man opted for their rib steak combo with veggies... all of which was outstanding.... brilliant evening with the best company and an awesome meal
Morné Otto
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)<br/>
Aidan Cooper
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!!
Jaime The Jambo
I enjoy Hogshead as a vibe, I just however, have not had the same luck with my meal. I ordered the beef cheese burger, it looked fabulous, but, once I bit into it- it was raw. I was very displeased. I enjoyed the onion rings and the chips were also very good, but my burger was a let down. Come on guys, you know you can do better. My mom and dad had the chicken burger and we're much happier with their results. Waiter was friendly enough, but could have checked on us a little more frequently. Love. Jambo.
Arvind Seetohul
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.
Jenny Louw
This is one of those places where people always want to come and I just cannot understand why!<br/><br/>Their food isn't bad but the service is so bad. I feel for the waiters on those crazy busy night when service is just non-existent but I've gone twice at a quieter time now and they still don't seem to manage. Some drinks are reasonably priced and others overpriced.<br/><br/>A plus for them is that they do have a reasonable amount of vegetarian options for a pub and the atmosphere here can also be quite good.
Chris Tustian
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.
Kevin Purves
Really awesome burgers and ribs; not to mention all the beer-on-tap options.<br/>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
Celine Rambrosoa
Excellent service from Ruth. <br/>The food was delicious...best pork belly and ribs. I will definitely be going back. Meals are well presented and delicious.
Justin Render
Great meal and great service from Munya. Very chilled Sunday lunch. Recommended if you just want a friendly pub atmosphere and hearty pub fare.
Kobie Myburgh
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
Akira Wing
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. <br/><br/>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.
#rateaplate
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! <br/>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!
TheHungryKat
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.
Kurt Baden Cairns
Not amazing, not rubbish though. On both occasions the drinks came quickly but the food not so much. For a certain type of pub crawler like all Hogsheads but unfortunately no matter how many times I go there I'm never comfortable. But that is no reflection on the fact that they will continue to pump and turn tables (which they deserve) but just not my vibe.
Santisha
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.<br/><br/>Food 4/5<br/>Service 3/5<br/>Ambience 3/5
Karessa
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 â˜ș
Lisa Pi
Been here a few times, nice spot for drinks. <br/>Their food is average, it has the typical pub food flavour. However, they have got some cool smokehouse dishes, their brisket sandwich is delicious! As is their crumbed calamari, however grilled calamari would be better! <br/>
Caroline
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!
Juan Fouche
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!
Sven Little
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. <br/>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. <br/>The burgers and the steaks are out of this world. <br/>
Kaleb.TheGent
Spontaneous outing on a Friday night led me to this place that I had been wanting to try for a while now given how it's been in the handpicked collections time and time again. Friday night atmosphere really busy in the restaurant, music playing out loud. Decor quite nice. Had the sophisticated bar kind of feel to it but not the kind of place I would ever go to. I want feeling too adventurous so I just ordered 2 burgers, the Original Hogshead Burger and a Double Double Burger. Nothing to write home about. Burgers lacked flavour. Fries were greasy and very slap. But their decor is quite nice.
Lara.bez12
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
Zoë Dorothy Brentano
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
Lyall Cooper
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.
Karen Du Toit
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!<br/>Lovely!<br/>I also had a smoked halloumni salad, which is delicious!<br/>The craft beer selection is a treat!
Anthony Ferreira
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..
Caron Whitfield
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!<br/><br/>Great vibe, cold beers and big wine glasses..will definitely be back!
Travis
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!!!!
Yolleen
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.
Find You
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
Lynsey Smith De Beer
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.
Anandie
Nice enough spot and location. Popped in for drinks and nibbles with friends on the weekend and the service was really slow, and we even contemplated that if we were to leave if they would notice. Regardless we had the platter for 3 which was really ordinary and the halloumi was rubbery.
Princess Petra
For a few drinks with some friends this is a goodie , the atmosphere is buzzing! The Pub Grub on the other hand was a little disappointing. The menu is quite big and looks a little confused - are they doing pub style food or trying to go for a more of a steakhouse vibe? I would chop down the menu and go for either one or the other. It is not possible for anyone to prepare all of those food options well. Their burgers are good, a little dry and could do with a some more sauce but the rest of their food falls short especially when it comes to their "Chef's Specialties". The Zesty Lemon Fried Chicken was quite a let down. The service was very slow and the wait we had for our food and bill were too long. Overall this is good watering hole and after a few too many drinks I don't think you'll be paying too much attention to the food anyway.
Justin Dawe
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.
Hilary Green
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.
Tarryn-Leigh Whittaker
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.
Luke Lamprecht
Went to Hogshead for the Smokehouse meat and Craft Beer and stumbled on a Brufest. <br/>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. <br/>Like Schwazenegger said 'I will be back! '
Justin Thompson
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
Kendra Gypsy-Princess Hughes
So the atmospher and service was amazing at Hogs on saturday. I will say that as a vegeterian/pescaterian I am disappointed in the menu option for me as their was not much choice vegetable wise or fish wise was very minimal. I ended up eating their halumi plate which was full of flavour and so edible and I always enjoy a good halumi cheese!
Dorea
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..................
Bronwyn
Hogshead Rockcottage .....always a great vibe and if you looking for amazing service with a smile has to go to Cuthburt !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jeetesh Govind
Hogshead Rock Cottage - an awesome and chilled vibe with great service... a special shout out to Cuthbert!!!! Food tastes great as well!!!
Rowe.danielle31
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.
Reg Hutch
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. <br/><br/>Their burgers are really good as well and so are their pizzas, always use fresh ingredients and always comes quick, 5 stars
Adrian Ace Woolnough
@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
Sonel
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...
Gugukwinda
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. <br/><br/>Overall it was a decent meal
Zoe Hawkins
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.
Justin Cooper
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!
Niel Van Wyk
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
HungryDiner2.0
Even for pub food this was below par. The none smoking section felt small and cramped which was a disappointment as the place look big from the outside. The pulled pork was bland even though it was smoked. Went there wanting to try out the smokehouse and we did and it was nothing special sad to say. The service was ok, just ok!!!
Vera The Wine Snob
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
Francois Marais Van Zyl
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.
Piet Pompies
Nice place... Good music.. Workers behind the bar are extremely loud. Shouting at each other.. Told the manager but didn't do a thing about it..
Felicia
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.
Ryan De Araujo
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.
Heinrich Van Dyk
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.
David Adao
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.
Brent Adams
So if you're looking for a place to grab a few drinks, I'd recommend Hogshead. However if you get hungry, you're better off at McDonald's. We ordered their smoked platter for two, which came with exactly two smoked wings, two burnt pork riblets, 3 tiny beef strips and a handful of chips, with 4 onion rings on the side. Besides the onion rings not much else was enjoyable.
Craig Harmse
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.
Anrich Potgieter
Slightly overpriced, the food is adequate but not particularly amazing. The selection of beer is good and I quite like the fact they brew their own house ale which is a nice touch.
Curthbert Nyakudya Chikoya
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 ;)
Alma Pretorius
If you like loud, blaring music at 6pm on a weekday night - then visit the Hogshead.  And make sure you sit on the covered patio, non-smoking side.  It's like being in a very very bad night club.  Horrible, loud, music blaring from the speakers.<br/><br/>Our waitress, Princess, was really good.<br/><br/>Hein had the Smokehouse burger - smoked pulled pork and cheese, it was good.<br/><br/>I had the 600g smoked pork ribs - really tasty!  And their chips are yummy!<br/><br/>What a pity ... we won't ever be back.  I adooore music, but really, loud blaring music at 6pm on a Monday in a pub/bistro?  Not on.
RichyKB
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
Shaun Naggan
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.
Ania Botha
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.

I didn't even know that Hogsheads served food until recently, I always thought it was just a very popular bar. Their pizzas are quite enjoyable, even though they are quite heavy handed with the garlic. They have a very thin base, and you can tell that they use a wood fire oven.<br/><br/>The staff are very friendly, and they also have private rooms for birthday parties and other events.

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.
