The basic Hog’s Breath Cafe philosophy is to “have fun and enjoy yourself” – a principle engendered by its specialty operating style and unique decor.
Hog’s Breath Cafes are themed licensed restaurants catering for all ages. They incorporate three interconnecting components – a seated food service area, a licensed saloon bar and a merchandise shop, exclusively carrying the Hogster clothing label.
Walls crowded with unusual paraphernalia and memorabilia create a distinctive theme for people who enjoy casual dining experiences.
Operations manager Tristan Anderson says it’s a place you have to experience personally to fully appreciate its rather different and exceptional reputation.
“In a nutshell, it’s all about providing quality food and beverage services in an informal, yet comfortable environment, with an over-riding friendly, party atmosphere,” Tristan says. “I’ve worked for 20 years in the hospitality industry and I came across an opportunity with Hog’s Breath Cafe in 2007. I instantly loved the concept, the quality food, the people and especially the passion we hold for each and every one of our guests.”
Hog’s Breath Cafe specialises in tender, mouth-watering Prime Rib steaks, available with a choice of vegies or salad and either hog-tail fries, baked potato or mashed potato.
Prime Rib steak is slow-cooked for at least 18 hours, then finished with high-temperature searing on a char-grill to seal in the maximum flavour.
For entree, try a selection of classic potato skins; spring rolls; crumbed chicken tenders; and salt and pepper dusted calamari, served with honey sweet chilli sauce and Hog’s Breath honey mustard.
The mixed grill tower for two is an excellent selection for mains, with two char-grilled sirloin steaks, two small fall-off-the-bone baby back-ribs basted in hickory-smoked BBQ sauce, served with chicken breasts, bacon, fries and salad.
Mississippi mud cake is served with cream and ice cream for dessert.
