Hog Penny--Hamilton, Bermuda

I went to Hog Penny Pub one day.

BERMUDA FISH CHOWDER $6.00

truly authentic, ours is the winning chowder of the Bermuda Culinary Festival. Served with Gosling’s Black Seal rum and sherry peppers

HOMESTYLE MEATLOAF $16.00
ground beef, pork and proscuitto with roasted garlic, fresh herbs and spices, baked, with sundried tomato demi glaze, vegetables and mashed potatoes

Pomegranite Mojito Bacardi white rum, fresh lime juice, fresh mint, 100% pomegranite juice and splash of soda. Outstandingly classy and incredibly refreshing.

PISTACHIO CREME BRULEE $6.50
pistachio infused, with fresh whipped cream, and fresh fruit garnish

I liked the atmosphere and Hog Penny Pub is located near Front Street (the main drag) in Hamilton, Bermuda. I had first heard of this place on Rachel Ray's show "$40 a Day". Also the other wedding guests raved about this place to me in terms of the value for your dollar and the caliber of the food.

The service was attentive and friendly. I was seated by the friendly hostess and promptly for lunch. I liked the decorations alot of dark colors and but comfortable. I had the pomegrante mojito which was good but I did not taste much pomegrante. I had to have the famous fish chower and before it is served my waitress poured the Gosling Rum and Sherry on top before I had it. It as good and interesting with the liquor in it though. Very bold and full bodied in taste and the fish was fresh and good. Weird to have it called chowder as from New England I am used to it being white with lots of cream and potatoes.

The meatloaf was great with a flavorful gravy and two pieces of meat loaf over the mashed potatoes. There were not much veggies but overall the dish was filling and warming. I had to end with dessert and the pistachio creme brulee was a nice ending to a pleasant but pricey lunch.

People were not kidding when they told me Bermuda would be expensive but I had a great time.
