Hare and Billett in Lewisham

Always a great experience from Natalia and the team - favourite burger in the area and lots of other great choices!

Great first visit to H&B in 45 years! Superb Sunday lunch, great bar and really great friendly service. Our cairn terrier also approved and was rewarded for good pub dog behaviours with a few treats from our server

Unfortunately went for a roast but they ran out of gravy! Not great on a Sunday. Akernatuve food very good though.

Lovely, welcoming pub overlooking Blackheath, with a varied and very tempting menu. Good value for money; the portions are generous, and the food delicious. Meant to ask how often they change the menu, as there were several other choices I was sorry to have to take a pass on – would like to know how soon I’ll need to be back! Service was very friendly, and attentive without being intrusive - and they weren’t at all thrown by our arriving early. Warm and cosy - had the day itself been chillier I would have pushed for a window table, as it would be an ideal place to watch the weather blustering across the heath. Was a little disappointed to find that my favourite rum had sold out the previous night and was still on back order, but luckily the weather was still clement enough to make an elderflower gin with cucumber a welcome alternative. Several large tables for Saturday lunch meant that noise levels were indeed ‘energetic’ – a little noisy perhaps, but there are worse sounds than those of people enjoying themselves. The proximity to Blackheath Village is good for transport links, and a post-prandial stroll around the independent shops – a great destination pub in a great destination. We’ll definitely return.

Sadly our experience was not great. We had phone ahead as we had a dog with us and were told we could bring her but would have to sit in the bar area rather than the restaurant area at the back ( which is quieter ) - which we accepted; but when we got there we saw two other groups who had dogs in the restaurant area ( they were not access dogs based on the harnesses/leads ) - so not a perfect start. Service was OK but they were rushed of their feed , so they need more bodies to cover tables. The food was disappointing to say the least - the F&Chips were good, veggie burgers fine but the fish curry and the chickpea and squash veggie dish was tiny , it would have been small for a starter. The very nice waitress compt it , so we weren’t charged which is appropriate but the point is we would rather have had what was requested. So all in all not great, at least the beer was good.

A lovely pub with good and varied food choices. Friendly service too.

I was a little disappointed by my beef Sunday lunch. Normally the Hare & Billet serves excellent food but today was something of an off day. The beef roast was pretty bland, with not much taste to the gravy and I strongly suspect that the roast potatoes had been reheated from the previous week. You can often judge a roast by the quality of the spuds and on this occasion they were pretty grim. Services was good as always but I'm looking forward to better overall experience next time.

Lovely food, and really attentive service, cracking Sunday lunch, one of the best in London 👌🏼

A lovely roast, very attentive service and pleasant venue. It was quite hot and I was disappointed with my pudding (pickled blackberries, I thought there'd be more than two) because it was so sweet.

Excellent food and service -steak was perfectly cooked, sticky toffee pudding was extremely good

Natalia and the team are always so warm and welcoming when we visit. We regularly drop by for lunch with my father who struggles with his mobility and Natalia, the team and fellow patrons are so generous with their kindness and understanding. First class service and the food is always a treat. Highly recommended!

The Hare and Billet is the place to go, staff is always super friendly and attentive. The new Monkfish Curry on the menu is amazing, they are also dog friendly and love children. Can’t wait to go back ! My son is autistic and the staff go above ❤️

Pretty good pub, went there with friends had a good experience. Sandwiches are must try food, overall nice pub. Gonna visit again

Came here and had a great lunch, perfect if you're looking for a pub lunch that's a cut above the rest. Food is superb and is not normal pub grub. They've got a superb selection of beers and the staff are really friendly and helpful. I will definitely be returning soon!

Foods are amazing, the main attraction are the deserts, so good. Lots of drink to choose from, high chance to find your favourite drink there as they have so many options. Lovely pub

Stop there for a dinner and have to say I was amaze by the service, it was fast and good. ordered some foods and it arrives within 5mins, even before finishing my drink. So happy with the service.

Usually have a great time at The Hare and Billet. The staff are ALWAYS wonderful. Professional, fun and friendly. Sadly with an upcoming change of menu and a supplier issue, the food choices were so limited and I couldn’t find anything on the menu to keep my kids happy. Admittedly the bread and butter was gorgeous and we ended up ordering three lots!! But that doesn’t count towards a balanced meal! My suggestion would have been to have been completely upfront as to the dearth of options (no beef/steak/red meat options). The adult meals were good. Chicken Kyiv does need way more garlic but the garlic green beans were phenomenal. Vegan burger was passable but a little disappointing when the beef option had been so looked forward to. So ambience, service and banter all 10/10 but communication about limited menu options needed.

Absolutely perfect! Food was incredible (especially the sticky toffee pudding!) and the staff were also fantastic, the Hare & Billet never disappoints!

Unfortunately the majority of the mains were sold out which limited our choice to 3. Never happened before but what we had was very good Great service tho

The pie was disappointing but the fish and chips was good. The raspberry tiramisu needs to come off the menu asap. It was foul and inedible.

Neighbourhood gem. Great food, service is second to no none, selection of beers is great.

Another brilliant very entertaining evening xx very pleasant place to spend an evening with friendly staff and customers.

The food was absolutely delicious and the portion sizes were really generous. The pub is a proper local and is really friendly.

Fabulous food and great service. The fish I had was perfectly cooked and my better half’s Sunday roast was one of the best she’s had, according to her. I would thoroughly recommend this place as I have never been let down by it.

Always a good experience, a friendly welcome, and delicious food, you can rely on it!

The beetroot hummus starter, warmed smoked salmon fillet, and best bitter were all delicious

Lovely food as usual but curry sauce was a bit too thick and mushy peas too wet. Apart from this - chef’s kiss.

Great Sunday roast. I had the porchetta and it was very tasty.

Always reliable but it would be good to have a more frequent change of menu options

Nice place, the restaurant area was lovely we had a little cove’s area to sit. Had a great lunch, the chicken liver pate profiterole’s were insane. Roast id give an 7/8 out of 10, beef was really tasty, but other elements lacked a bit of flavour. Roast potatoes good. Nice lunch.

The Hare & Billet is an asset to the area the team are amazing and professional. Set’s the basis for what a pub should be. Perfection

The staff were friendly and helpful. The area where we eat was spacious and reasonably quiet. Would recommend to others thank you

Great place for food and drinks, generous portions, good selection of beers

We have been before and the bread was under cooked. We thought to give it another try, the roast was so oily no taste to it. My partner had the burger it was over cooked and cold. Unfortunately we won’t be going back.

Good location by the heath and great that allow dogs. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Food was good but temperature of the roasts was lukewarm. Nice wine selection and cocktail menu. Busy but not too noisy.

The waitress was pleasant but didn’t write our order down and when it arrived it was wrong. When we told her she said we should have swapped plates, but it still would have been wrong. The food looks nice but the only thing that had any taste was the bread sauce and it was cold. Won’t eat here again, shame because it’s a lovely pub

Great experience as always. Delicious food and good service.

The food is always great quality here and it didn't siappoint. Sundays are always busy and lively so you don't come here for a quiet meal but the service was good and we had a lovely late afternoon meal.

Good atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff and lovely location onnBlackheath

Delicious food, lovely staff, perfect ambience, sat watching the football in an ideal spot in the bar.

Great place and lovely staff! A large variety of beer and great food :)

A lovely friendly pub. The food we had last night was delicious. Cannot fault it. It’s now our regular place to meet friends,have a meal and drinks.

Food was delicious. Good service by friendly staff. We will go again for sure.

Great food and friendly staff! Would always recommend.

A nice Friday lunch for the four of us. Thanks for this.

Thoroughly enjoyed our Sunday fish and chips lunch. The staff were all extremely helpful. I can't fault it, and will be back again.

As always, a lovely Sunday roast! Staff as great as they always are, very chatty, friendly and attentive

Great pub, nice ambience, helpful staff. Only issue is far too many dogs. No other pub in Blackheath is so highly populated in this regard and at times it can be disruptive. Still love the pub and not much to fault outside of that.

I booked a table on a Sunday evening on a bank holiday weekend, only to be told when we sat down that they had sold out of majority of the meals. It left myself and guests feeling disappointed and hungry. Staff were dismissive, unapologetic and unbothered so we left to find an alternative place to eat. After a similar experience the first time I booked, I will not be back again.

A really nice meal with good service in a great pub.

Chicken Kyiv is superb ❤️ a large variety of beers is awesome!

Not a great deal of choice for dairy free (I’m not vegan), though better menu knowledge and training about easy substitutions to dishes would enhance the choice and experience. The meals were delicious and served well by attentive staff. I was disappointed to find a Friday Prosecco deal advertised in the toilet that was not mentioned or highlighted before ordering.

Great Sunday lunch for four of us. Good size dinner. Large Yorkshires. Plenty of gravy. Starters went down well too, the beetroot hummus and the chicken liver profiteroles were good. Staff were friendly and overall experience excellent. Recommended

Always a warm welcome at the Hare and Billet, doesn’t matter if they are full to the rafters. Service so good, decent pub grub and lovely location.

Have been here for a roast a few years back and loved the Sunday roast so I rebooked to come back with my family. Was really disappointed. I had the chicken roast. No seasoning on food / way too much gravy the plate was drowning. Definitely lacking on the sides. Was given 2 potatoes, teaspoon of bread pudding, maybe 2 carrots. I have definitely had better for the price I’ve paid. A shame really.

Good, hearty meal in a great pub. Service was fantastic and it was a lovely Sunday lunch.

We ate on a Sunday. One of us had a roast, the other had the Beetroot and Goats cheese salad with roast chicken. Unusual yet exciting menu choices; especially the starters. Although a small number of choices, what there was would suit most palates.

Good service, beautiful venue and delicious food. I am a regular.

We were there for a birthday for ten of us and we had a dog in tow. The manager was looked after us so beautifully and made sure to take special care of our dog. The food was excellent and we had the most wonderful time! Thank you so much for making the occasion so special.

A really nice pub, well run with efficient friendly staff. Always very clean and has the added bonus of a defibrillator on the wall outside the gents...

Welcoming surroundings and staff. Good selection of food and drinks. We had a problem with one of our meals which was attended to very well. A good team who clearly cared about their customers. Thank you.

I went to the Hare and Billet with my partner for a Sunday Roast after he had ran the London Marathon. I had been a couple of weeks prior with a friend and although the restaurant was so dark we could barely see each other, we had a nice meal. I was however told just prior to attending this time that the hygiene rating had just been reduced to a 2 so was slightly concerned however thought that it would probably make things better as they would want to increase this rating. Unfortunately this was the worst roast dinner I have had in a long time, the plate was so full of gravy it slopped all over my lap when I tried to cut the food, the veg was tasteless and the meat was all fat. The cauliflower cheese, which we paid extra for despite being told that it has been taken off the menu earlier in the day due to being of poor quality, was awful. Tasteless and watery. I told one of the waitresses about the meal when she asked why I hadn’t eaten anything and instead of taking the items off of our bill, she just said I should have said something sooner. It is such a shame as it has tainted my opinion of the pub and I won’t be returning any time soon.

Great Sunday roast. Decent menu, can feel a bit cramped if busy, not a fan of having to pay deposit when booking and it’s a little bit pricey but good quality food and decent staff.

Good pub food, staff were all really friendly and service was prompt. We went as a group of 8 and had a lovely time. Recommend it.

A lovely friendly pub with great staff and service.

Had a table booked for a birthday and was initially excited by both the website and the menu link in the booking confirmation e mail. With 12 real ales on offer and a menu full of really delicious looking starters, mains and sides. Upon arrival it was clear that there was only 1 cask ale with no more being brought on. As a cask ale lover this was pretty disappointing. Then we noticed the menu was greatly reduced and told of a couple of items that weren't available. We were pretty disappointed to say the least and made arrangements to eat elsewhere. Sadly I;ll have to answer No to would I recommend as I couldn't really begin the experience let alone recommend it.

Shame that a lot of menu items were “off” still it shows how good the food is

Lovely atmosphere, delicious food and very good service! Never have been disappointed with the Hare and Billet

Food took an hour to arrive. Fish in fish and chips tasted very odd and green salad was just leaves and they were covered with salt. Will not eat here again - only go for a drink!

Excellent food and service as always. Thank you again

We had a wonderful Sunday lunch here yesterday. The service and the ambiance were excellent but the real highlight was the food. We all had the roast porchetta which was very generous in size and absolutely delicious. The vegetables, including the roast potatoes, and the Yorkshire pudding were superb. We didn’t have room for deserts but will be back soon. One of the best Sunday roast dinners in London !!

Partner and I took his mum and nan out for a late mothers day lunch and it did not disappoint. Been here before and I'd highly recommend - great food, servers are all very friendly and a warm atmosphere. Definitely a local favourite!

A good place for a relaxed lunch with friends. Generous portions of good food. The bar staff was attentive without being intrusive.

We’ve been to the Hare & Billet three times in the past couple of months and it’s been exceptional each time. The service and food are both excellent - highly recommended at any time.

Excellent meal and service despite a hectic Mother's Day

Great roast for Mother’s Day only disappointment was cauliflower cheese which was cold and congealed.

Food was really nice, service was a little slow, I think more because we were on the corner so didn’t get many people come out way. Came to about 120 quid for 3 for lunch with no booze, so thought that was on the high side for Sunday lunch

Perfect Sunday roast dinner - no complaints there. Granted it was Mother's Day so they were super busy. We were the second table in the dining area to be seated but were completely ignored- no menus, no drink orders, no one came to speak to us until I raised my hand. Ambience was not great due to all the screaming babies. Lastly the bill was wrong when they charged extra for dessert which should have been included in the set lunch menu. It was a disappointing experience.

A superb place where to spend an evening with friends!! The ambience is made warmer by the presence of fur friends that make this our favourite place in Blackheath. 5-STAR and a "+" for the Wednesday quiz night! Lilly, our 3 months old Lab, also thanks the staff for their super friendly welcoming and for the fresh water bowl!! The staff that was super helpful in finding us a table that would make Lilly feel confortable and that would accommodate her pillow!!!!

Most items on the menu were not available due to a supplier issue. This would have been known prior to service but no warning was given meaning that by the time we’d ordered a drink and started to look at the menu, it was too late to go elsewhere for my birthday lunch or ditch the outing altogether. On top of this the waiter was rude and whilst I have had an emailed apology from the manager who seems very pleasant and professional, most people cannot afford to eat out as regularly as before so these occasions are special and I’m sorry to say The Hare and Billet did not deliver. I won’t return or recommend.

The roasted hake was delicious. Unfortunately the restaurant was missing four things from the menu, including both the steak and lamb, which was disappointing.

Late Sunday lunch booked. Service on arrival, and starters all good, charming wait staff, good food. Downhill massively from there. Roast beef x 2 ordered. Turned up stone cold. Cauliflower cheese side dish luke warm at best. All returned to the kitchen, only to reappear having clearly been microwaved, and badly, in that some of the meal was most certainly warmer, with other items on the plate reminding cold. The cauliflower cheese was hot mush, and as a result was mostly, after attempting a couple of mouthfuls, inedible. Will not be returning.

Great Food, Great Pub and nice touch with 0.0% Guinness

Our local which we always like visiting - chose for a special (sad) occasion a memorial & efficient friendly service as usual

The best Sunday Roast dinner in London!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great service as always and lovely food. Nice to have a local that’s dog friendly

Cramped space in corner. Average food. Expensive.

Very positive experience. Good place and great atmosphere.

Very friendly and efficient service and good food. Also dog friendly

Delicious tempura crab burger and fries with gin and tonic. Defo going again soon.

Had been my visit list for some time, knowing how popular the place is for Sunday Roasts. Had dinner in the restaurant on Valentine’s… strange atmosphere with the pub quiz simultaneously running that night and the staff were polite and friendly, but very stretched. Took 45 mins from sitting down until we were seen to have our orders taken… Food was nice, but by the time our orders were taken, a lot of things were off the menu. Being allergic to shellfish drastically limited the options. I’d visit again but perhaps not in a hurry for dining.

The food took more than an hour to arrive and then my risotto wasn’t made with proper risotto rice

Went here for our valentines meal. It was the same time as the weekly quiz. Super fun pub and nice decor. Great atmosphere. Food was very very very slow. We have the vegan sharing platter and it was very disappointing.

Always very well cooked food. Great range of wines. Very appealing menu but shame that a number of items on the menu weren't available on the day. Well worth a visit if you are in the Blackheath area.

Always a lovely roast at The Hare and Billet. Attentive service, delicious food and beautiful location!

We had Shari g platters and snacks. Lovely nibbley lunch

As my friend and I had lunch at the Hare and Billet on a Monday we were very nearly the only ones in the bar area having a meal. We pretty much had the place to ourselves. We very much enjoyed our fish and chips and the dessert was lovely as was the wine. I’d definitely go again…

We pre booked for 7pm Sunday, we arrived , got our table, we ordered our drinks and the main meal, Pork and apple Sunday roast. We were just settling in, when within 5 minutes the dinners arrived, without the wine. The dinners themselves were lukewarm, we attempted to eat as we did not want to complain as it was meant to be a celebration night. However the food was colder underneath the top layer. The Pork, as it wasn’t warm was rubbery. We were not revisited by the waiter for about 20 mins, when he came back he asked if everything was ok, we said not. He was very apologetic and offered us a discount and desserts on the house. However, by then the event was ruined. We were also then charged a service charge, which I declined to pay. We ended up paying £65 for a bottle of wine, a pint of guiness and two partly eaten unappetising dinners. Very disappointed.

Helpful staff, delicious roast pork and excellent orchard spritz

The Hare & Billet does not disappoint, good food, great staff and a friendly environment.
