Amazing village pub. Good food and drinks and service. Can't fault it. Love the Hare and Hounds.

Oh dear, sadly not the best Sunday roast. Beef OK, pork needed rendering with soggy crackling. Roast spuds mmmm, think they were reheated. Not great either. Yorkies suggest not home made. Veg OK except creamed leeks which were cloggy. Beer good though. So overall, won’t be returning for a Sunday roast.

Great pub for the whole family. Quality food and friendly staff. Nick and his team really look after us every time we go. Highly Recommended

With great food, excellent service, child friendly garden (as well as more adult focused outside spaces), regular live bands and plenty of indoor space (including a great 'private' room), The Hare and Hounds is the perfect village pub for meeting family and friends!

Lovely pub with a great atmosphere and staff. Food has never disappointed in all the many visits I have made over the years. Would go back anytime.

This pub provided us with a very pleasant eating experience. We arrived and were able to park in the adjacent car park, walked through the pretty arbour to the garden with seating, and a marquee. The pub itself had a welcoming fire and the pleasant staff served us our lunch. MI had the sea bream which turned out to be delicious, and my husband declared his gammon dish to be excellent. We will certainly return.

A great Sunday lunch in this cracking pub. The vegetarian nut roast was yummy. Fab service and as always a really welcoming team. We will be back again soonest.

I didn’t want to write a bad review but I am going to be really honest here. We are long time customers of the hare and hounds and will not be returning.1. Prices are too high now, you’ve raised them from February 2023 and we can’t afford to pay this for what we get. You are charging £18.50 for a main.2. Portions are significantly smaller than 6 months ago. This was your draw and for some reason you’ve cut the portions. Doesn’t look good when charging £18.50 for a plate.3. You have taken items off the menu that many people liked. I assume cost cutting but then again this doesn’t look good.4. Service was appalling, other than the French lady who is always nice. No one even bothered to take our order. Bit strange, you did seem short staffed today but the pub wasn’t particularly busy.This place needs a turn around, you may have noticed less customers than before. Please address those 4 points above. Honestly this used to be a fantastic pub, I’m not sure what is going on. If you think any part of this review is inaccurate please let me know.

Lude - he was making sure our table was clean at all points and he was an absolute star! 5* experience Hare & Hounds is a great venue and we love coming here.
For many years, one of my favourite spots. Those were the days when a charming French woman used to run it. Now, if Sunday lunch is anything to go by, it's a shadow of its former self. Both the Lamb Roast and Beef Roast were of poor quality, particularly at £18 each. Meat tasteless and grey, veg. slightly overcooked. And you can always tell when the staff know it's not up to scratch because that's just about the only occasion when you're not asked: "How is your meal?" Other people, in a town of money, appear to have noticed as the place was always crowed at Sunday lunchtime; not any more. Drinks have always been pretty expensive and the tradition has been maintained.

Really happy with the buffet that was put on for my daughters gender reveal party . Beautifully made & presented , was delicious . The outside space was clean and completely adequate for our party . Would definitely recommend for any kind of celebration.

Met up with school friends, one I hadn’t seen for nearly 50 years. We had a lovely meal, excellent food, efficient and friendly service and a good atmosphere. I shall come again

17 of us met for lunch after a long walk. Fortunately the menu of the Hare & Hounds is very varied and there is virtually something to satisfy everyone. We were not disappointed on this occasion and we had such a variety of dishes that if I was to list them all it will be practically the whole of the venue I personally had the roasted sea bream fillet,Which was extremely good and I followed this with the ice cream. Brenda spoke highly of the oven baked aubergine salad, the Beer battered fish and chips and a chicken burger. We had a selection of drinks and there was no complaints of the food or the drinks. The staff as always were very good. Although this is my local I never get fed up with having a decent meal .
