Two Hog’s Breath Cafe franchises in NSW have ceased operations, marking a new blow to the popular Australian steakhouse chain.

The Central Coast and Coffs Harbour locations have announced their closures, although specific reasons for their demise have not been confirmed.

Ray Hadley reminisced about the past glories of Hog’s Breath, including its popular counterpart, the Black Stump. “It was always an affordable place to go and eat and the service was always good,” Ray noted.

However, he acknowledged that in recent visits, the service was “sadly lacking”.
