The Hogs Back Restaurant at the Hogs Back Hotel and Spa

Fantastic fresh breakfast. Homemade bubble and squeak, not better than that. Right coffee. A beautiful garden where the sun is out.

We drove 15 miles to come to this cafe only to find it was closed. On TripAdvisor, it said it was open until 2:00pm on Saturday but at around 12:30pm it was closed. The sign on the entrance sliproad also indicated it was open. Disappointed.

I stopped yesterday when I wasn't sure what time they closed. Shutter was quiet, but the staff was there. They made me very friendly to a cup of tea (I just cannot drink cold drinks because of medical treatment). I was so grateful because I felt something under the weather, and her kindness and tea with a kit kat revived me. Thank you

I stopped here yesterday on the off chance as I wasn't sure what time they closed. The shutter was down but the staff were there. They very kindly made me a cup of tea (I can't drink cold drinks at the moment due to medical treatment).

Called in for brunch and had the meat free breakfast. This was 2 eggs on toast plus a choice of 3 extra items. I went for tomato, black pudding and mushrooms, all for just over a fiver! Amazing value and delicious. The garden is well cared for and the people there were lovely. Also dog friendly. Definitely will return. My friend had the cheese omelette with beans, equally as yummy.

Stopped off for some breakfast last Thursday at about 9.30am, en route to Highclere Castle (aka Downton Abbey). Sign says only 2 people at the counter at a time and as the cafe wasn't busy, we duly waited at the door...and waited....and waited... while the...member of staff behind the counter chatted at length to the two men at the counter. In the end, we gave up waiting and continued our journey. Such a shame that poor service by the staff let it down as the food is always very good and the place is always very clean.

I’m assuming the this used to be lovely little cafe is now under new ownership? Stopped here on June 25th and immediately upon walking through the door we were rudely welcomed and told that there was a 30-40 minute wait for food even though the...cafe was quiet (seemed to us they wanted to close early). We ordered a hot chocolate, coffee and a ice lolly and I thought judging by how the girl reacted at the till we’d asked her to perform open heart surgery. She had both hands on her head, huffing and puffing and generally stressing over what we had asked for. The hot chocolate had a spoonful of hot chocolate power in it so was more or less like milk. Won’t be stopping here again which is a gre...
