Hoghouse is a bakery and cafe where you order at the counter for all-day breakfast, tartines on sourdough, and smoked meat bowls. The kitchen makes its own pastries, cakes and confectionery — lime and caramelised pecan cream cheese cakes, whiskey caramel tarts — and smokes its own meats for the bowls and toasties. Ingredients are local where possible; the menu marks vegetarian, plant-based and gluten-free options.

The space accommodates dogs outside but not inside, and it does not take bookings for small groups. A drinking fountain serves water on tap. You eat at wooden tables under industrial lighting, with the bakery counter displaying the day's cakes and tarts.

The menu runs from morning pastries to midday bowls — pulled pork, grass-fed beef, free-range chicken — with sides of truffle aioli or chipotle dressing. Toasties come on beer and potato bread, and the tartines are open-faced sandwiches on sourdough. Orders go through the counter, where the cakes are also sold whole to take away.
