Pickled Pig Ale House

Free State


This sprawling alcove consists of a small courtyard, a bar and back patio off Bree St. A local favourite, it’s good for a refreshing ale after an afternoon’s browsing in the local shops or a dusty drive around Vredefort. There's an excellent selection of local and international beers and the pub also serves delicious pot pies, pickled fish and steaks.
