Chris and Andrew, the franchisees of the Port Macquarie Hog’s Breath Cafe have been in the family since 2006. ‘Andrew was a sales rep – he travelled up and down the coast all the time, and he chose to eat at Hog’s Breath when he travelled. So when the opportunity came up to open a store here, the brand was a perfect fit,’ said Chris. As a tourist destination, going to Hog’s Breath in Port Macquarie is like meeting up with an old friend in a different place – the great food and service you can expect, plus an incredibly beautiful town.
