ABOUT US
The Hitchin Post Restaurant
The Hitchin Post Restaurant is a Ponoka favorite as we cook everything from scratch. Our menu is diversified, and we offer a home kitchen feeling with everything we make. Our new menu offers everything from Japanese Gyoza as an appetizer or tempt your tastebuds with our signature Hitchin Post burger capped with an egg on top. Maybe try one of our made from scratch pizzas or try our amazing and flavorful butter chicken. We also offer a truly Canadian experience with our poutine bar or for those who prefer the no meat option, we have our selection of vegan and vegetarian friendly food items.
The restaurant is fully licensed, and we offer a large variety of wines by the glass or bottle, we support our local craft breweries, and we create some amazing cocktails whether it is a classic like an Old Fashioned or maybe a blended drink like our Mai Tai or an after donner aperitif or scotch whiskey. One thing we do strongly recommend is to try a flight of Caesars, choose 4 of our 8 signature Caesars delivered on a custom-made flight board and served in fun little mason jars. My personal favorite is the Habanero Caesar, if you like spicy then this is the Caesar you want.
And for dessert we have a large assortment of after dinner sweets including cheesecake, sticky toffee pudding or ice cream.

How Do We Support Local Farmers
We support as many local farmers, ranchers, greenhouses, and small businesses as possible. We could get our food from the same sources as everybody else, but that doesn’t celebrate the western culture that is Alberta. This is agriculture, cattle, and rancher country, and we support our local farmers. We get our potatoes from the local Hutterite community . All our mixed greens come from a local year-round greenhouse:
Our proteins: beef, pork, chicken and lamb is sourced throughout Alberta but comes from local butchery:
