Hare and Hounds in South Kesteven - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great little pub, with excellent food. The 6ft Chef is amazing, although he did bore us slightly with stories of his darts and pool prowess. Staff amazing also. Landlady is exceptional, just has a slight dictator vibe. Would highly recommend and will 100% come again. Weekend drinks are also meant to be a fun and social evening.

Had a superb Sunday lunch, a good choice of meats with lots of veg. Good opening time for service 12-6, busy with diners and really well priced. Definitely will return.

The lunchtime food is an excellent menu at a very reasonable price I had the curry which was first class as it came but the chef kindly pepped it up even hotter for me with a small portion of his personal mixed pickled chillies and garlic. What a treat. My friends all had gammon and all declared it to be very good. Desserts were very good too. All in all an excellent and friendly country pub well worth a visit

Went for Mothers Day and thoroughly enjoyed it there great food great service the menu was amazing hard to choose the food was very tasty and the staff there are super lovely would 100% recommended

Two of us enjoyed a dinner, finding two unusual starters in big fat juicy prawns on sourdough bread, with aeoli dressing, and Hoisin duck with pomeganate on chinese salad, We both went for the Cod loin with mussels sauce for mains, and Bakewell tart with cream for sweet. Washed down with some of the guest ale of course, from Hopshackle.

We booked at the last minute so we didn’t get a seat in the restaurant but we were tucked away in the bar. The food and friendly service more than made up for the lack of ambience however. Our sirloin beef roast dinner was excellent with ample fresh vegetables followed by a delicious light Bakewell tart. This friendly village pub and restaurant is definitely worth visiting.

Great meal with friends, under new management and we had a fabulous meal. Great choice and well priced menu, Salt and Pepper squid yummy and friends had the steak which was beautiful. Staff attentive and look forward to another visit.

The welcome was great. The lunchtime bar meals were well cooked; steaks cooked exactly right as requested. Service speedy and very helpful.

Just visited this lovely little pub/restaurant and couldn't recommend it more! Absolutely amazing food and very welcoming and polite service.

The two of us ate at the Hare and Hounds, Haconby this week. Usual starters for us, King Prawns & Prwan Cocktail. Mains of Lamb Shank with real gravy, mint sauce & veg, and a 10oz Sirloin steak, with chips & peas. All delicious but left us too full (with all the wine) for sweets. Recommended.

My wife and I were staying in a lovely converted stables in Haconby, and although the accommodation was excellent, it was made even better by having The Hare and Hounds a short walk up the road. Derek and Mary, and the many locals we met, made us very welcome and we enjoyed the food, (particularly the Sunday Lunch), the warm welcome, the beer and most important, the playlists! We even did quite well in the monthly quiz!! Holidays are about memories, and one of the stand-out memories of ours, was having a lovely English pub on our doorstep.

Two of us with no food yet waited til 6pm, and we could have been in the H&H from 5pm. Never mind, starters me liver pate, toast & trimmings, Elaine her new favourite, the temura king prawns with sweet chilli dip & trimmings. I then went for steak & ale pie & veg, in thick gravy. Herself chose a large rump steak, rare with all the side bits, which she said was absolutely perfectly cooked. Lost the pic of that, sorry.

Friday night - prawn cocktails, 8oz steak with baked potato & salad & all the trimmings for one, large gammon steak, pineapple, fried egg, chips & peas for the other with 2 glasses of red wine each. Good quality food, loads of it and prices which are very reasonable is why we keep going there - added to Derek Holmes (landlord) cheerful personality.

6 adults + 7 kids had a lovely lunch here 15/8/20. The food, drinks and service were outstanding and the staff were a delight.

This is a great place to get an inexpensive, but very good meal. The menu has all the pub staples, such as lasagne at £7.50 but, try the prawns in batter at £10, as an alternate to scampi. It is very popular and booking is recommended.

This was a Saturday lunchtime visit by 6 of us. The choices included chicken korma with rice, deep fried prawns with salad and chips, fish and chips, braised steak, and sausage egg and chips. Everyone was very happy with the quality & quantities and the Landlord himself (also chief waiter) was always cheerful and helpful. We'll be back next month.

Great traditional local pub serving a selection of beers, wines and ales, good local pub with home cooked grub

I visited with my Mum and Brother for lunch to celebrate Mother's Day. I ordered the Steak and Ale Pie which was delicious! Great portion sizes and prices are very fair. My brother ordered the steak and Mum ordered the Prawns, both looked really tasty. Desserts were also nice and good size. The friendliness of the staff working there is a highlight, very lovely owners! I would definitely recommend and will be back!

Went to this place today for Sunday Lunch.good wholesome homecooked food.no Aunt Betty’s here.generous portions and a good price.Pork crackling to die for and thick proper gravy served in a gravy boat! Will definately go again!and have reccommended to others since I came home,I will not be needing any supper.too full from lunchtime!

Although we live locally, we had not been to this pub for several years. We went with friends last night, and thoroughly enjoyed our meals. We were immediately made most welcome by Derek and shown to our Reserved, cozy table. The menu was varied, and we all ordered different Mains, all excellent. My beef in pepper sauce was especially tender & tasty, and the accompanying vegetables cooked perfectly. The chips are to die for! The bread and butter pudding we ladies ordered for dessert was delicious and obviously homemade. We will definitely be returning and recommending to friends.

We have now eaten here several times. There is always a warm welcome with good beer and proper home-cooked food. Well worth a visit but check opening times.

Had lunch here with friends, a very friendly landlord, and superb food. Very cosy country pub Will be back

Met up with friends for Sunday lunch. Good selection of food. Staff friendly. No frills and good value for money

My husband & I had a really nice lunch, no frills but very well presented & very tasty. Although the menu didn't have gluten free options the owners of the establishment were very accommodating & created a lovely three course lunch for me. Excellent value for money well worth a visit. Thank you everyone at the Hare & Hounds.

Had to cancel previous booking due to illness, but turned up yesterday evening on the off chance. Friendly atmosphere and warm welcome the moment we arrived. Selection of dishes was good, especially for vegetarians, with choices prominently displayed on board, so didn't even have to ask if there were vegetarian options before seeing the menu. Landlord very attentive, although rushed off his feet. Quality of food first rate! Will definitely revisit. A thoroughly enjoyable evening. Oh, and did I say the beer was good and prices very reasonable.

Good pub grub, but don’t go as a large group. For months went regularly as a large group and occasionally as a couple. Portion as a group and as a couple on the chips was defionately different unless you say something. Staff friendly and cheerful.

This place was very busy, not surprising considering the value for money. The front of house was a bit chaotic, I presume the landlord was overwhelmed by the number of people coming in, very simple menu for Sunday lunch, nothing too much wrong with that.

Myself, my husband, my sister and brother-in-law had lunch at the Hare & Hounds Haconby on Thurs 1 Feb 2018. The fire made it nice and cosy and we received a warm welcome from the Landlord. We all chose meals from the £6.95 (for two courses) menu. 1 carrot and coriander soup, 1 prawn cocktail and 2 pate followed by 1 scampi, 1 fish and chips, 1 liver and sausages and 1 gammon. All well cooked, nicely presented and thoroughly enjoyed. We wished we had room for a dessert, but we didn’t! Will definitely eat here again.

The Hare and Hounds offers a weekday two course lunch (starter and main) for £6.95. Whilst the portions are not large (obviously for the price) there is a good choice and it is good pub food. It is usually very busy, so booking is advised.

Excellent menu including for vegetarians. Food was appetizing, well cooked and served well. Good selection of wines and beers. The landlord and his wife are huge fans of Status Quo!

We have eaten here often The food cannot be faulted and is great value If we were pressed to find a fault it would have to be that the service can be a bit slow but hey its worth waiting for and is all freshley cooked on the premises

We ate there this evening - me sausage, egg and chips, her fillet steak cooked rare with baked potato, etc, and the steak was cooked to melt in the mouth. Sweet was raspberry & apple crumble and ice cream. All delicious, good portions, not expensive & good atmosphere - friendly landlord. There was a traditional music (fiddles, etc) started up later; very tuneful (no amplifiers).

Recently visited this lovely pub with my family. Great welcome and service. Food was tasty & good choice. We will be returning when next in the area

Dos de nosotros apareció y tomó la comida especial de San Valentín. £15 cada uno por 3 platos y una bebida burbujeante. Tempura de langostinos con mantequilla o algo, ella tenía la pierna de cordero y ternera medallones tuve la. ¡Delicioso! . Los dulces eran...

Visitamos el pub dos veces el último fin de semana y no podría haber sido más sorprendido. Para ser honesto, el exterior hizo un aspecto un poco descuidado, y la decoración interior era cómoda pero nada especial, pero lo que realmente hace este pub un...

Al llegar pedimos unas bebidas y nos condujeron a una zona de estar cómoda y ordenados nuestras comidas el propietario era muy agradable y jovial. Después nos llevaron al restaurante para comer, de nuevo la camarera era muy agradable y la comida excepcional volveremos.

We called as we were passing, attracted by the listing in the Good Beer Guide. It lived up to its entry with excellent beer, Marston's Old Empire being my choice. We didn't want food which was good as all the tables were reserved, but fortunately there is a seating area for those who just want drinks, so we squeezed in with the walkers and dogs for a pleasant half hour.

Fuimos al lugar con la intención de tener una comida para celebrar el cumpleaños de mi madre. Por desgracia, cuando preguntamos por el menú, nos dijeron que debido a la cocina estar demasiado ocupado haciendo un buffet para una fiesta privada, tendríamos que esperar al menos media hora o más después de la hora normal de apertura para comer.

We dropped in for a lunchtime snack and were delighted with the 2-course menu for seniors at £6.50. I had pate to start and lasagne as a main; both of which were of excellent quality, a good sized portion and well presented. The prawn cocktails also looked good. A very friendly pub with a good range of ales. Excellent value.

The pub is typical country pub. The foods is very good and reasonably priced work staff being friendly and pleasant. Choice of drinks good but could offer a few more selection.

5 of us booked a table for a meal, absolutely fantastic food, staff on hand all the time. It was a very enjoyable Saturday evening.

This place is like stepping back in time. Great service from good looking barmaids, who are really cheerful. Amazing range of ales and the food is superb. Very friendly locals, plenty of parking and real log fires in winter.

This is a lovely village pub. The staff are always friendly and helpful. The homemade food is great and very good value for money.

Always friendly reception, good ,fresh food. Good value for money. Lovely village pub atomosphere. I would recommend it.

A friendly welcome awaits where excellent food is provided at a reasonable price. Special prices are available for pensioners during the week

Thought we'd try this out as it's the closet pub to our house and we really enjoyed our visit. We had an evening meal which was very reasonably priced for good sized portions and the service was excellent. A really lovely atmosphere. We will definitely be visiting more regularly.

Have just moved to the area and the locals recommended the Hare and Hounds to us. We popped in for dinner and were treated to proper home cooked food and a really friendly atmosphere. Much better vegetarian selection than you usually find in a village pub and according to my half the beef in Stilton gravy is fantastic. Have already been back with friends and will be returning on a regular basis.

Fantastic pizza at a very friendly village pub, perfect for hungry teenagers. Staff all very helpful and welcoming and the food good value for money. A pleasant break from chain restaurants.

Went today for Sunday lunch. Good pub food with a lovely piece of beef.Plenty of different ales.Decor is a bit dated but it's a good old fashioned English pub...nowt wrong with that.Staff are really friendly and although we arrived early and it was emptyish by the time we left it was filling up nicely. I would go again.

Called in after a country walk on a hot day. This pub serves a lovely pint of real ale, and the staff and customers were very friendly.

we were recommended this pub and went there for lunch which was 2 courses for £5.95.The prawn cocktail starter was excellent and the main courses were quite substantial and tasty.My partner had a pudding which I tried and it was also very tasty.

We visited midweek and the bar man was friendly but warned us the chef would be upset if we hoped to eat as he was about to finish - it was 8.15. Fortunately, we had only called in for a drink. The bar is a little dark with only one small window giving natural light, but there were a few people in who had clearly been eating and the atmosphere was good. It is a nice local pub, but probably not one worth travelling any distance to visit.

Popped by for Sunday lunch and what a waste of good money. Nothing was roasted about the roast... frozen reheated roast potatoes and Yorkshires and processed meat. In the world of publicity why bother. Friendly place albeit dated and decor like an old aunts living room waiting for her mates to come and share a sherry, but food was edible but awful. Nothing fresh here ...plenty of far better establishments near by.

Despite only visiting once in a while we are always pleased with the Hare and Hounds. The pub has a good cellar and the food is hearty. While I enjoy fine dining I also appreciate the rustic satisfying full of flavour meals sold here.

We called in for dinner last week, after ringing to book, going in hungry and coming out very satisfied. Lamb shank, loads of Lincolnshire veg, gravy, mint source - yum yum. And the prices are more reasonable than many places.

Travelling long-distance along the A15 with family, we broke our journey here for a quick bite to eat on a Saturday night. I'm really glad we did - we had tasty pub grub, freshly prepared and served by friendly staff. We couldn't have been made to feel more welcome. Real ale excellent for the non-designated driver too!

Now one of my two locals, new to area and got very friendly,helpful welcome. Has real ales and home cooked food, nice interior, and garden.Has three music nights a month. Have eaten there once and it was good food and decent portions.Friendly locals. Closed afternoons during the week. 2 W Rd, Haconby, Bourne PE10 0UZ01778 570521

Having read grim reviews of our intended dining place today, we decided to drive around the fens and find a roadside pub at short notice. We found plenty of closed ones and were panicking when heading towards 2pm and Bourne. However tacked to a telegraph pole was an advert for the Hare and Hounds. A swift left led us to a full car park, which generally tells a story. The sympathetic landlord agreed to fit us in without a reservation, and we then had a really first class roast beef dinner, at a surprisingly reasonable price. We found it by chance but will return in future to this first class pub.

found this lovely little pub when trying to make our self familiar with the area there is no thrills and what you see you get which was all good and very well cooked, nice friendly staff and will visit again

Found this by accident when just driving around. Pleasantly surprised. Nothing fancy about the place but the owner is very friendly and the wife does the cooking. We had nothing to complain about and some of the lical people who were in were friendly to talk to as well. The food was excellent and plentifull and we shall be returning shortly. Sat in the bar area as we like to chat to people but there were quite a few people in the restaurant. We only drink wine so we can't comment on the beer

Home cooked food and very good value for money. Very friendly landlord, landlady and staff. Beer is rather expensive though.
