Historic Interest

Hogshead opened in May 1995 in the former VAT office as one of Whitbread Cask Ale pubs, with 8 handpumps and 4 beers on gravity, originally planned to be called the Old Post Office. By Spring1998 it was to be renamed Hogs to attract a younger clientele, but by June it was called Cottons. Later Roccafellas Bar and Circa.
