Hog's Breath Cafe

My husband and I had a brainwave the other day and thought of a restaurant that we could take our kids to - Hog's Breath Cafe. Kid friendly and full of meat and vegetables rather than pasta etc. So at 5:30pm, after a weekend away and no desire to cook dinner, off we went to Hog's Breath Cafe (gotta love the early dinner option!) and ordered the steak and fries for our daughter and the fish and fries for our son as well as a side of corn for them to share (2 small cobs in one serve). The staff wouldn't guarantee that the fries were gluten free because they cook in the same oil as other gluten products but the fries themselves don't have gluten in them. That was fine for us. While we waited the kids coloured in with the provided crayons and colouring sheets.

My daughter didn't react to anything and she at almost the whole steak and all the fries (and all the tomato sauce!). My son could have the free ice-cream afterwards and we had brought some yoghurt for my daughter to enjoy.

I think we'll be back when the opportunity arises.

  1. Hi, is there a certain Hog's Breath you go to that has gluten free fries? I have emailed them in the past and they replied that their chips do have gluten. Thanks

  2. Hi there. We went to North Parramatta in NSW although I'm sure they must have the same fries sent to their restaurant as the others. Maybe they had their details wrong but they told me that the fries were gluten free. My daughter didn't react at all though but now I'm not totally sure if it was because of the fries or because she was already not reacting (given her negative wheat allergy test the other week) in March. Sorry I can't be more help. I'd be more likely to believe the head office than a waiter though.
