On Monday we escaped. From Life. From our Motorhome. From our Kids. And you know what? It was so damn nice to be able to say “Yep, we went out for lunch to our favorite cafe and enjoyed ourselves”. We went to Hogs Breath Cafe in Mackay ~ actually we found it in the same location as when we used to live here!
Hogs Breath Cafe
Even though it was only lunch time I was ready for a cocktail! Yep I had a cocktail for lunch…..and it was so worth it 🙂
 Mud Slide Cocktail ~
Cant remember all of the ingredients but do remember it has Baileys in it!
Love this saying ~
No Chewing WIth Your Mouth Open!
actually I was going to ask them if they sell the napkins!
Cajun Salmon Caesar ~
forgot to ask them to take the bacon out 🙂
Never mind as it was so Delicious!
Chicken Burger ~ with curly fries!
David’s Meal.
Hogs Breath Cafe ~
Known for its tender steaks!

It was so nice to be out, eating without little ones needing our attention. And it was so nice to sit down together, spending time really talking as well as listening.
How Did We Escape?
Easily! Two were at school and two were home alone. Actually the two that stayed home went out for lunch together. They walked to the local takeaway and had their favorite meals, with ice-creams and soft drinks. Then they walked home and watched DVD’s. They have even asked us to go out again next week so they be left home alone again!!!
We are now wonderng….is there a Hogs Breath Cafe in every state? Wonder if we can compare the Cafes as we travel south and over to South Australia/Western Australia? Now that would be so much fun!

Lisa, this post brings back memories of our Hogs Breath Cafe experience at Port Macquarie on our way back from Qld a few years back. It was a fun meal and we all enjoyed those curly fries!!
We do have a Hogs Breath Cafe close by, in Ballarat, and I’m sure there are a few in Melbourne. At this stage we’ve only been once, but maybe like you will eat there again on our next trip. We’re too spoiled with great pubs close to home, so haven’t ventured out to our local HBC!
Hi Brigid,
Thanks for letting us know about your Hogs Breath Cafe, and your trip to the one in Port Macquarie 😉
So good to know that there is one day there…will have to try it out when down that way! Also Love the sound of the pubs.
Cheers

OH MY GOD! Your blog is sooo tasty ! I popped over from networked blogs as I love Australia, live in UK right now but I am literally drooling and want to eat your page LOL!! Thank you, when I visit Oz I will remember this place. YUM!
Thanks Kelly ~ great to connect with you – we love Hogs Breath Cafe! 🙂
Cheers

Thanks for the kind words Lisa and happy to hear you enjoy your lunch at Hoggies Mackay (nothing wrong with cocktails for lunch either). There are over 70 Hog’s Breath Cafe’s in Australia and if you manage to get to any others, I hope your experience will be just as enjoyable as your visit to Mackay. Safe travels 🙂
Thanking you for your comment! Great to have lunch there – will be back for sure!
Cheers
Lisa
