Hare and Hound Pub in Horsham

We visited yesterday for our second visit. This is a lovely friendly pub with a nice ambiance. The food is really good, tasty, well presented and a nice range to choose from on the menu. We each had a different choice and every dish was excellent. Can’t wait to visit again.

We go out for a meal locally every Thursday evening and tonight we had the worst meal we have ever experienced. Over cooked very small prawns for a starter each and pathetic portion of ribs on a cold plate for our main course. Apparently they have a new "chef". Well they need to sack him or her. Very embarrassing for the very pleasant bar staff. We won't be troubling them again.

Excellent Sunday lunch and service, 3 of us had roasts, I went with lamb and the other 2 were beef and partner had a couple of small plates. The lamb roast was very large and tasty with excellent service by Mel.

Went on Wednesday night with 4 friends for a pub meal. Main course was very good but we thought the desert portions were a little on the small size for the price.

Fabulous early dinner for two. Can recommend the steak and kidney pudding! Very friendly staff and good service. Lovely atmosphere.

Wow! just wow! I came here with my family to celebrate my grandfathers birthday and I have to say we really hit a jackpot with this place! The service was impeccable, greeted with smiles from everyone. This instantly made me feel welcomed. I ordered a mocktail as I do not believe in alcohol, and it was refreshing and delicious. I told the lady behind the bar to surprise me and boy she did just that! All of us ordered a variety of roasts and I consumed mine with much pleasure. I still dream about those potatoes. The atmosphere was so homely, which I loved. The chef even came out to say hello to all of the customers, what a pleasant young lad. I love the sense of community and family this pub has. This place really made my grandfathers birthday that much more memorable. This will be my go to quaint country pub from now on!

This is a real gem. Found via TripAdvisor as wanted a place to meet in this area. Had an excellent lunch, nice atmosphere really friendly attentive staff and finally very reasonably priced. We will definitely return and highly recommend this eatery.

On the drive home back to the Isle of Wight we followed a sign to the Hare and Hounds. We wanted somewhere to stop for a quick afternoon meal. We stepped inside and were greeted with a busy, but welcoming pub. We ordered our food, fish and chips and chicken and mushroom pie, switching the mash for chips, with brocoli stems and gravy and 4 pints of coke. When our food arrived 😋, the pie had come by mistake with mash, the lovely lady serving apologised, and advised that chips and extra gravy were being prepared and to keep the mash. Well the food was AMAZING, it was tasty, filling, freshly cooked, great value and the pie was the best homemade pie I've ever had. I only have 1 slight niggle, the gravy was too peppery. Wish we could of stayed longer, but had to get a ferry. Congratulations on an amazing pub, with amazing food. We will definitely be back. Thank you 😊

Friendly service, good food and pleasant environment delivering what customers are looking for. No load music or cramped tables .

Sunday lunch and the pub was really busy - great lively atmosphere but not too noisy. We all plumped for the roast dinner and so pleased we did - so delicious and beautifully presented - a real treat. Thank you

Went to the Hare and Hounds mainly because it was roughly half way for meeting a friend for lunch. Not maybe the most tranquil of settings but the interior was very pleasant. Fairly wide choice of food, at least for lunch, which arrived fairly quickly and was very good. Decent selection of real ales. The barmaid was also very friendly. Although it was a “halfway (public) house” it’s one I’d probably make a journey to again.

We called to see if they had availability and despite being very booked they said they could squeeze us in. The staff were lovely and the roasts were literally the best my wife and I have ever had. The slow roasted pork belly was incredible. And the pricing was reasonable! Will be back very soon.

A party of four of us were looking forward to attending this pub after seeing rave reviews but the food was almost inedible. My prawn cocktail starter was swimming in a tart lemony water and I couldn't detect the marie rose sauce which was supposed to be on a bed of lettuce.....obviously defrosted shrimps. The main courses were even worse with burnt scampi, microwaved chicken with a thick piece of bacon on top and a slop of glug poured over the top. The menu said that the chicken would be wrapped in ham, not last night's leftover bacon that was 1cm thick. All in all a terrible meal. We certainly won't be back. Perhaps they need to employ a chef instead of a cook that zaps everything in the microwave?

My partner and I were travelling along the A272 and looking for somewhere to have lunch when we spotted a sign to the Hare and Hounds and decided to take a look. We found a nice quiet little pub with friendly staff and an excellent lunch deal at a reasonable price. My partner decided to have the Prawn Cocktail as a starter and said that it was probably the best one she'd ever had. There were a couple of slight glitches as we'd both ordered the Gammon, Egg and Chips, but, shortly after we'd ordered, the young lady came out of the kitchen to apologise because they'd run out of gammon, but they could do bacon instead and we both decided that would be fine (which it was). Also, I'd ordered the Apple and Pear Pie with Crumble with Ice Cream for dessert, but the young lady had to apologise again as she had had a problem making the topping, so I just had the ice cream on its own which was very nice. The only slight down mark I'd make was that the food, being made to order, took some time to prepare and it would have been good if she could have taken all of our order in one go so there wouldn't have been such a gap between courses, however that was a minor issue and it certainly won't stop us going back there again some time. Definiately well recommended.

Closed at 4pm despite their own website said they were open all day. Tried to phone later in the evening to book- phone was not answered.

We arranged to meet here as a half way place to meet family. We had such good service, cheerful and professional, the food was delicious too

Sunday roast was excellent big portion worth every penny I had my pork belly which is cook perfect all veg cook perfect compliment to chef I recommend this pub for roast fan Tomasz

We stopped at this pub as we were visiting Cowfold, also as it was a nice day we thought we would take advantage of this. The bar person was friendly and they had a good range of lager and some nice sounding food on the menu. We ordered some dishes to share and a couple of drinks, the food when it come out was nice looking and good portions and tasted really nice. We would recommend and go back again.

Wow! - what a fantastic country pub! - Newly and beautifully refurbished with a wonderfully friendly team in and out of the kitchen. All locals I know say the food it spot on! and I agree. A really friendly lovely atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

My sister & I chose this pub to take my father to for lunch as it has some personal memories. The pub was quiet though it does have a lovely cosy feel which many pubs are lacking these days. Food was brilliant & service/staff was efficient & efficient. Definitely will return & would recommend.

Visited with family for my birthday. We all chose different meals and each one was 10/10. The chef Pete cooked everything to perfection and it was delicious. All the staff very welcoming and attentive especially Vicki. They had a live singer in for the evening , Tobias, atmosphere was brilliant.

Visited this pub as we have many times before which have all been wonderful. This time two of us ordered whitebait as a starter which were very overcooked. For main courses two of us ordered the Christmas lunch which was a joke. Burned yorkshire pudding...

I have, with family been to the pub for meals on Sunday’s and weekdays. Each and every time the standard of service, quality of food and welcome has been superb. Will be back very soon 👏👏👏

I cannot explain how good the Sunday roasts were for my family. The lamb and chicken was so succulent and the mix of different vegetables complimented the dish. The gravy was to die for and the portion sizes were more than ample. The cost was...

First visit to the Hare & Hounds in a while. Met with family and had a really great roast dinner. The food was lovely and plentiful. Well done to Vicki and her chef.

Had the most amazing Sunday lunch - best we’ve ever had in a pub! And then went back for an amazing valentines menus! Best pub ever!!!!!!!

Our visit for a quick lunch, and to see how the pub was fairing after the disappointing reviews following the change of ownership and management was not wasted. Vicki the manager from previous ownership greeted us. Joy and relief, and a menu to delight in....

It is wonderful to have Vicki and her team back at the helm. Sunday lunch and 3 more bookings going forward. The staff, atmosphere and food are all of the highest quality.

Visited with a local elderly friend for lunch. Excellent food with generous portions, and good service. Our friend tripped, and the staff were very good in making sure that she was OK.

After reading the previous review here I was sceptical about booking a table but WOW!!!!!! I’m pleased we didn’t let it put us off!!!! I visited along with 6 other members of my family for a Sunday Roast after a long walk. The pub was...

After a brief hiatus, popular Vicki is back managing the pub. It was brilliant to see the place so full over the past weekend and to see cheery faces running the place again. The new owners are making a fantastic effort with this pub. The...

Visited The Hare today, having returned from working abroad for three months. Sad to see that Vicky has moved on, but misguidedly expected her high standards and understanding of what a community pub is, to remain. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The buzz has...

Friendly pub with an excellent chef! Best Sunday Roast ever, husband had the pie - equally delicious. Good choices for children. Good value, huge portions of high quality, perfectly prepared food. Dogs welcome too! The exterior needs a little spruce up, but if you judge...

Fab food reasonably priced with proper portions. Staff are great and attentive. Dog and husband friendly.

8 of us visited on Sunday for a friends catch up, I’d been told good things about this place, did not disappoint. Food was Excellent, staff attentive and competitively priced. Massive thumbs up 👍. Highly recommend

Somewhat confused regarding the review bemoaning lack of specials and COVID adherence. I have visited this pub several times this month and the choice of specials is always varied and plentiful. The safety measures in place go above and beyond statutory requirements without detracting from...

Can’t understand previous comments about COVID etc because I have visited this pub all through this period and they have taken great lengths to ensure the correct running. I have witnessed customers being told in no uncertain terms how they should be behaving and face...

First time we have been to this pub. Welcoming attentive staff, great food couldn't fault it. We Will defiantly visit again in the near future

We had a dinner in Hare and Hounds last week. We fancied a proper pub food. It was very refreshing to have a traditional prawn cocktail without any twist for a change. My steak and ale pie with horseradish mash was out of this world,...

Popped in for lunch and the 3 of us had the home made courgette and Camembert soup served with ciabatta to start. It was amazing, really tasty. Followed by fish and chips, beef stir fry and chilli. A really great lunch. Thank you!

Was here today for a roast dinner and it didn’t disappoint, the beef was cooked perfect. It’s in a lovely part of the world. I would definitely recommend this place.

We like the Hare and Hounds and eat and/or drink there every time we visit family in Worthing. Like the atmosphere and the food’s not bad either. I had ‘home made’ chilli no carne and it did taste home made. Hot and yummy.

My husband and I ate at the Hare & Hounds this evening. We both had mains from the special board - he had rack of ribs and I had chicken breast stuffed with bacon & sun dried tomatoes. Both were delicious. With thanks to Vicki...

We visited the Hare and Hounds for a family birthday lunch this Sunday. The team were very accommodating for a group of 12 of us with 4 little ones. The food was lovely and great value. What made the meal though was the staff. Everyone...

What a lovely warm welcome. Log fire burning, the barmaid Carys, wonderfully friendly and informative. Great local spirit. Will definitely be coming back on a regular basis and HAVE to come back for a reputable Sunday Roast

Two close relatives and myself booked at lunch at this pub on 4th February 2020. Our previous venue for regular lunches having recently gone bust. The menu prices for meals at the H&H having played a part in my booking booking the pub. We were...

We had our company dinner there and the ladies that were serving worked really hard all evening. Food was great and plentiful. Beer was excellent. Easy to park and staff all very helpful. What more could you want

Good food is served in good time by staff with a pleasant manner. We went to the Hare & Hounds Pub because it is very conveniently situated between Guildford and Brighton where our son and his wife live and I'm glad we did. We would...

Thank you very much for a fantastic lunch, four adults meals, one child, pipping hot looked great and and tasted delicious. Cant wait to go back and have Sunday Roast. All staff couldn't have been more helpful or welcoming. Highly recommend 👍🙂

Having heard of their glowing reputation, my partner and I booked Sunday Lunch here, as we were attending an overnight function locally, on the Saturday. The quality of service and freshness of food, rivaled the 4 star hotel down the road. Please save room for...

Went to the Hare and Hounds for a family get together before Christmas. The food was excellent, especially the roast dinner and it didn’t break the bank! We always call in when passing through Cowfold and thoroughly recommend the pub

Went to the Hare & Hounds yesterday for Sunday lunch and as always was superb! Been going to this pub for years and it’s probably at the best it’s ever been! So please people take no notice of ClaireBG94 !

I can only presume ClaireBG94 for some unknown reason has some kind of grudge against this perfect village pub. My family and I have lived in the village for the past 3 years and the food is absolutely fantastic, also in all my visits which...

We went on a Saturday lunchtime and were the first customers in. To be honest it was a bit quiet, which was a bit of a surprise given the subsequent high quality of the food. The barmaid was very welcoming. I had ham egg and...

The service is always exceptional, the food fantastic and the atmosphere is always friendly and welcoming. They hold regular events, for example quiz nights and live music, which are always worth visiting.

By far the best roast in the area, can’t fault anything. Loverly cosy pub, beats any carvery and really friendly staff.

Saturday lunch. Very generous portions sizes (and we are not small eaters...) Lovely home-made steak and horseradish pie with fresh veg, and a beautifully cooked steak with all (mushrooms, tomatoes, peas, salad, onion rings) the trimmings. Great, friendly service. Thoroughly recommend.

Fabulous Sunday lunch with friends. Friendly staff and lovely food. Wonderful nut roast and pork roast served with gorgeous gravies plus generous portions of veg. Definitely recommend. We will be back!

First visit today, fantastic little village pub, staff we're all lovely and the roast dinner was simply amazing, lovely portions and all cooked to perfection, we Will certainly be back soon. A must try!

Well what can I say! The portion sizes are extremely generous, the food was superb, a very good selection 4 different meats, chicken,beef, lamb and pork. The largest Yorkshire puddings I have ever seen. Superb selection of vegetables. Just delicious thank you. Car park is...

Myself and my family had a fantastic meal at the Hare and Hounds. Brilliant home cooked food, friendly staff and very child and dog friendly. We will be back!

We have often passed this pub and finally decided to venture in after a visit to the local Gardens. We were not disappointed. The sign outside said "friendly welcome and great food" and this just about sums it up.

We went for a meal for my mother in-laws birthday, there were 6 adults and 3 children. The food was plentiful and delicious we all really enjoyed the food we had chosen, the service from the staff was prompt, friendly and courteous. Would thoroughly recommend

We were passing and spotted a nice terrace with umbrellas. As it was very hot we stopped for a drink. We had a bowl of the best roast potatoes we have ever tasted to share. Great value, lovely staff and friendly locals. Will return for...
