Of course there is some small print...

The rule of six will be in place
You won’t need to order a ‘substantial meal’ to enjoy a drink
There will be no curfew
Table service has to be offered, drinks must be ordered/consumed whilst seated
Social distancing rules must still be followed
We are not booking tables, first come first served

Thanks to everyone who has already been to see us and we can’t wait to see those of you who are planning to visit

So far we have been blessed with good weather but chilly evenings, if you are planning to come down until close please make sure to dress accordingly

Our opening times for April are as follows

Sunday - Thursday 12 - 9
Friday - Saturday 12 - 10

We have a new till system that has hand held tills which our staff will be running around with but at busy times it may be worth ordering off our Round App to cut out the middleman!

Please let us know if there is anyway we can improve the Hogs Head experience

Please enjoy our Covid-safe environment and hope for a speedy roadmap to drinking indoors!

If you are struggling during lockdown there are lots of resources here www.mind.org.uk. Remember you are not alone and it is ok not to be ok

Stay safe and we will see you soon!

Bottles, Draught, Gin...

Drinks for everybody

We have a large selection of our own ales produced on site, along with draughts, IPAs, craft beers and Belgian beers; but it doesn't stop there. We also stock a good range of top shelf spirits; such as premiums gins and whiskeys. In the mood for a good bottle of something? We carry fine wines and champagnes as well.

From Hop to Ale

Our Process

We have our own 8 barrel copper clad brewing kit on display in the bar which we brew on average twice a week so your pint of Hogs Head Brew House beer just couldn't be fresher.

Our malted barley is first mashed with hot water or liquor as it is known in the brewing trade then steeped for 80 minutes at a temperature of 65-66 C allowing the enzymes present in the barley to turn the starch into fermentable sugars. The sweet liquid created in this process is known as wort, which is then transferred to the copper for boiling.

The act of boiling helps to stabilise and sterilise the wort and then the initial hops for bitterness are added. Near the end of the boil Irish moss is added for further stabilisation along with the more noble hops which give flavour and aroma.

The wort is then cooled to around 17-19 degrees centigrade and oxygenated into the fermenter where the yeast is added. It is kept at a constant temperature to allow the yeast to work its magic and turn the sugar into alcohol.

THE BEER IS BORN.

Take Away Your Favourite

We have state of the art technology that allows you to take away some of our tap brews in 2 litre bottles. Our filling machine lines the bottle with C02 and then filters in your chosen brew without any sort of head. Once full, the machine seals the bottle and your chosen brew will keep for a couple of months, or until opened. This service is very popular with diners of Syhiba across the road which doesn’t have its own license.

We are currently brewing 5 regular beers to suit all tastes and styles.

WHITE HOG

4.0%

Our most popular beer here at the Hogs Head consists of extra pale barley to give a blonde session ale. A slight bitterness is achieved with the use of German Magnum accompanied with Amarillo and Simcoe hops to give a citrus floral session beer to quench your thirst. The landlords favourite.

OLD SCHNOZZLER

5.2%

Due to it's popularity our rich dark ruby porter is brewed all year round. With hints of bitter chocolate and coffee this smooth porter is a winner with our customers.

6 TO 8 WEEKS

4.0%

Amber in colour and less floral than the White Hog this ale has a malty flavour with a bitter finish. If you're a lover of traditional style bitter this is the one for you.

HOPPY VALLEY

4.3%

Named after the village's fame in the locally based drama Happy Valley this beer packs as much punch as the show did. Light golden in colour and full of flavour. Citra is the star of this beer giving it a real zesty kick. Not to be missed.

MALTINGS ALE

3.9%

Our traditional English beer brewed with 4 different types of malt to give a deep brown ale. Smooth on the palate with very little bitterness. Single hopped with Goldings, English through and through.
