The Hog Penny

The Hog Penny is Hamilton’s oldest licensed pub, operating since 1963 and known for its traditional British pub atmosphere and long-standing local presence. The building itself has had several past lives, including a bicycle shop and a butchery, which still influence the character and decor inside.

The menu focuses on classic British and pub-style comfort food, including fish and chips, pies and curries, alongside a solid selection of beers including local brews. It’s a dependable spot for a casual meal or a drink, with a setting that leans more traditional than modern compared to other Front Street options.
