Hare and Hounds in Wiltshire

Nice traditional pub good food and friendly staff

We didn't eat there and there was no one else in the bar! No Guinness 😔

Staff can be very uninviting and rude. Seems like you are unable to have a good time. Waitress is unwilling to help and doesn’t like you doing anything. Strange atmosphere.

Perfect gastropub, Very good quality homecooked food. Service was helpful, courteous, and professional. Not the cheapest place in the country but you pay for what you get. If good quality, well prepared food is your thing, you must try the hare &hounds.

Nice pub with delicious beer. It was my first time eating a vegan burger here. Incredibly delicious.

I’ve been living in Corsham for 6 years now, the few first times I visited it was poor, but after visiting recently it has massively improved, they’ve decorated inside, clean and tidy. The bar staff are welcoming and friendly. And a special mention for their roast dinners, for a man who loves a good roast, it was amazing. I encourage all those of you who originally thought this pub was poor to revisit, and certainly give their food a try 👍👍. I will be back in again soon 😃

Traditional pub with decent beer garden. Good selection of real ales 🍺 and commercial ales alike.

Very quiet, though we were early. Decent beer.

Classic pub - typical tropes of a country boozer. Great selection of beers too. Overall pleasant experience :)

Me and partner came here on Saturday and I cannot thank the staff enough for how friendly and lovely they were! We played pool had a few drinks and even got to try their new chips from the owner rob! Will definitely be back for food and again cannot thank the staff enough for being so lovely. Will be back soon🩷

Good beer, good food 🤩 lots of seating indoors and outdoors. Dog friendly and 10/10 for the roast dinners!🐶🍴🍻🌞🌞🌞

Went lunchtime so it was quiet.

Had lunch on Saturday 16th March 2024. Lovely food and friendly staff. Will definitely go back.

Avoid poor, saw rodents, inside and out, one side absolutely stinks, which is alarming, managers seem lacking, even they don’t look hygienic and vaping/smoking in the car park one person on bar, dogs barking constantly no customer service I won’t return

Service was a bit slow but very quaint pub with a nice garden

Good service only had soup and that was nice

A delightful and simple pub offering amazing quality food and a nice environment to enjoy a pint. I find the staff are helpful and knowledge, whether it be a drinks recommendation or information on the menu, they know their trade and have been a pleasure to be served by. I will happily visit here again, and have enjoyed my time at this pub. 10/10 would recommend to a freind.

I recently visited a local pub, about which I had previously heard a mix of opinions. My own experience offered some insights worth sharing. The pub features two separate bars, an interesting aspect that influenced my visit. My family and I were seated in what I'll refer to as the 'secondary bar', which had a sign clearly instructing patrons to order from the 'main bar'. This setup was initially understandable. However, the practicality of it became questionable when, despite being visibly seated in the secondary bar, we were required to collect our drinks and snacks from the main bar. The landlady, busy attending the bar, did not offer to bring our order to the bar closer to us, despite being aware of our location. This oversight necessitated multiple walks between the rooms, which detracted from the convenience and comfort of our visit. In terms of interaction, the landlady was noticeably more engaged with her dog than with us, the customers. While a bit of pet interaction adds a homely feel, a balance with customer engagement is crucial. The service was prompt, yet it lacked the warmth and attentiveness that characterises a welcoming pub atmosphere. A little more personal touch in service could go a long way. Overall, while the pub has its charm, the experience highlighted areas for improvement, especially in terms of customer service and making better use of the dual-bar setup to enhance customer convenience.

Exceptional food and service above and beyond I ordered today as a little treat for myself the food was delicious thank you

A nice pub with friendly staff. Prices are fairly average. There is good parking on the side.

Yum yum in my tum!! Really enjoyed the food I had large cod and chips and it was delicious

THEY DO NOT DELIVER. If you look closely, it will tell you.

Spent a good 6 hours here, playing board games with my partner for my birthday. Absolutely amazing staff, so friendly! The food was incredible! So beautiful and flavoursome! They have a new cake called a hummingbird cake, which is absolutely divine. They have vegan options, I highly recommend the strawberry vegan ice cream, best I've ever had. We even changed dinner plans to stay here instead, and wow! Was it a good idea! The lamb with potatoes was perfect, and the hamburger, proper homemade burger, and the caramelised onion was the perfect taste pallete, so simple yet so good! Compliments to the chef! I can not recommend The Hare & Hounds enough! Thank you for such a lovely day.

Lovely food, lovely staff, lovely pub ☺️

Nice pub on the outskirts of Corsham

Very pricey indeed indeed, thought I was back in Central London. Quality was pretty basic would have been fine if it cost 30% less.

Whoever owns the pub needs to give the manageress, or bar staff more training on customer relations. 17th August at 1.30 we popped in for coffee. She was on her phone and ignored us in the front bar. We walked to the back bar and when she finally saw us, told us to go to the front bar. We had to repeat our order. Then told could only pay cash if we had the right money as barely any change in the till. She made no apology at anytime, and was brusque to the point of rudeness. We were made to feel as if we were in the way. Only one other person in the pub at the time, so hardly busy.

About a dozen off us booked for lunch and were surprised that the lady barperson was also taking orders and serving food all on her own. Full marks to her as she did a wonderful job of serving excellent food to us all very quickly and was very attentive to our needs. The Hare and Hounds in Corsham is well worth a visit.

Could have been better with more staff. The bar person was on her own..

I've never eaten here, so I can't rate the food, but the service and ambience is always welcoming. Go visit!

Really not pleased with today's order. Mozzarella sticks covered in sweet chilli sauce which it doesnt state, Large black block of what looks like beef? Chips were half chips, half sharp chip ends. Fish was smaller than my palm of the hand. Not even a full fish, no tail (nearly £9.00)so for the price this was really disappointing and total waste of money. Unhappy customer.

Excellent food, great portions, chips were skin on but thin cut and crispy, very tasty, large portion of delicious tasty gravy and 3 battered sausages, not your average cheap chippie sausages but really firm, meaty and tasty sausages. A really excellent meal!

My first time visiting, Thanks for an enjoyable quiet afternoon folks, see you again when I'm next in Corsham

Went for Sunday lunch absolutely outstanding and the value for money was excellent. Definitely we will be going back and would recommend to anybody and everybody it was so lovely.

Very poor knowledge from the woman serving me today of real ale.  Was served a half of Plain Ales real ale (name of beer escapes me) but was extremely flat and lifeless . Bar person insisted real ale was supposed to be served like that .... unfortunately for her I am a very experienced real ale drinker and this is certainly not the case !  Also she was quite dismissive of my protestations.  I also work in a pub and frankly this FOH team member needs training on real ale and how to interact with customers.  Very poor pub and service. Date of visit Weds 19 Apr 2023.

Over charged on drinks. 2nd round, had x3 less drinks but was the same price as the 1st round.

We last visited a year ago, fat forward to tonight and the place has vastly improved, the lounge was clean and welcoming and dog friendly. There was one girl behind the bar who couldn’t have been more helpful, nothing was too much trouble for her despite her being really busy and working on her own, what an asset to the place. Great vegetarian options for food which is so unusual, pizzas, vegan burger, pasta and not just the usual cheap vegetarian option of curry or chilli!! This is our local and following tonight’s visit we were impressed and will definitely be back soon.

Polite friendly staff. Cosy atmosphere. Will visit again

Worst pub we've EVER visited. Barmaid was interested in our dog was initially friendly and served our drinks fairly promptly. We ordered food , the chef in the kitchen had long greasy hair which wasn't tied back. When food was ready he rang for service, but the barmaid ignored it twice. I pointed out our food would be cold. She disagreed . Eventually served the food asked if we wanted further drinks, we ordered drinks, they never came. Couldn't eat my food it looked awful. Dried out, wilted salad. Would not recommend this establishment.

We stopped in for a pint and it felt to warm and friendly we decided to have dinner. There was a lovely log fire, nice ales, very clean and comfortable and friendly helpful staff. We were very impressed and will return soon. Oh and the food was yummy.

Amazing Sunday roast, cooked & presented to perfection! And brilliant customer service, will definitely recommend

Abbiamo cenato in questo ristorante all'apparenza molto accogliente, poi però la temperatura era bassa, abbiamo mangiato con il piumino e la cameriera un pò grezza nei modi. Il cibo era buono ed il prezzo nella norma.

Great Sunday lunch. We called ahead and booked and very accomidating of dogs and they set us a table in the bar. Good service. Big car park just off main road.

Popped in on our way home after visiting Bradford On Avon and had the Sunday Roast. I had vegetarian one and my friend had Roast pork. Absolutely delicious, could not fault it and so much food. We shared a fruit crumble and custard after, as we couldn’t have eaten a whole one each, that was also delicious. Girl behind the bar was so welcoming and friendly, would definitely visit again if I’m ever in the area 🤩

Went to watch the rugby. The signal in the main bar wasn't working so looked in the back bar to see if it was showing in there. The Miserable Barmaid asked "Yes, can I help you?" Me: "I wondered if you were showing the rugby in here" MB: "There's a screen in there!" Me: "It's not working" MB: I'VE RESET IT TWICE. I DON'T CONTROL THE INTERNET!" Awful customer service but I've given an extra star because they've got rid of the smell of sick by the toilets.

Very nice Sunday lunch with the family.

Nothing nice to say, not the nice pub it used to be, now like a Bistro, full of tables, no room to move in.

Aardige gast in de bediening en zeker goed eten. Jammer dat de koffiemachine kapot was.

Well wot can I say had the best roast dinner here I've ever had hat of to the chef 👨‍🍳

Loved this place! Really great pub!

My team from work all went there. It was very cold at 12 midday. Food was good though

Great food and friendly bar staff. Was perfect for a pub lunch with friends!

Such a cool pub! We saw a guy playing music outside and it was great! Good food and good beer. Nice!

Very fast delivery and amazing food as always!

Fabulous portion of excellent quality food, cannot recommend highly enough!

Amazing beef roast dinner, full of flavour, ready to collect quickly and still warm once home.

Very greasy not nice batter. Peas like bullets And all was very sweaty. Shane as been nice before

The food was unedible. I couldn't actually bite through the chips. We were very disappointed and it was a total waste of money.

Love this place🤗 you could be any where it's so peaceful

I have never been to this pub before. At the bar was a Thatchers Haze bar mat so I asked for a pint of that, to which the bar maid rudely said ‘as you can see we don’t sell that’, rather than say, sorry we don’t have that but we do have…….. Will not be going in this pub again with such rude service. I asked what rose wine they have that wasn’t sweet and she clearly didn’t know as was offered a Zinfandel which is sweet as hell

Fish was not good..especially at the prices they're charging for it.

Family gathering, visiting elderly Aunt but the food was very disappointing. Plates cold, batter not cooked, could taste the raw flour. Peas very yellow and chips chewy and cold. Only people eating in the pub so that should have given us a clue. Won't visit again. Full car park was a misleading indication of being popular!

Good basic pub. Would go here again. Plenty of space inside and out to enjoy a drink with friends.

Good friendly welcome,good choice of beers etc, however the vegan burger was awful couldn’t have said what it tasted of,battered and in a bun, yuk. The onion rings were huge but one slice of onion and again at least an inch of batter,,my husband even left his which is rare for him!, His burger was ok but oily, chips were good.I had asked for food to be plated rather than on boards etc and this was granted. Overall very disappointing, we don’t eat out a lot and had looked up good food and dog friendly, won’t be going again.

I loved the pie, unfortunately I’m not a fan of “French Fries” I would prefer “proper” chips. Fries are for hamburgers not pies or fish. Just a personal preference. There was more than one portion of fries which I had to waste half.

Lovely meal. Pleasant staff. Great

Friendly staff. The place was let down by the wait for the food. It took over an hour for our food to arrive.

Good roast and reasonably priced. Staff very friendly!

Definitely order from them again

A lovely pub steeped in history. The food menus look delicious

Decent pub and food. Quick service.

It's changed loads since I was last in the food is nice but the order come out wrong and they forgot the onion rings but the young girl did her best to sort it out, it seems to be a younger person's pub where they all gather in the marquee outside

Food was dry and largely inedible. No flavour. Really disappointed, won't be using again.

Went to eat on the weekend at lunch - we were the only people eating which should have been a red flag - the restaurant area was absolutely freezing, we waited 45 minutes for the food to arrive despite us being the only people eating and the food was not good My other halves fish and chips came served on a piece of paper on the plate which made it awkward for him to eat the peas (meant to be minted crushed peas) and the actual fish itself was very watery inside the batter, frozen no doubt My seabass smelt and tasted like old socks and the spinach was missing from the plate? The onion rings were so greasy, oil pooled into our mouths when we bit into them. The waiter was lovely though hence the one star

Grear service, very friendly staff

Fabulous food X friendly atmosphere with wood fireplaces and country decor X

Food was late and needed heating up when it arrived. Was a bit sweaty and given coleslaw instead is tartar sauce. But it did taste really good.

Avoid on just eat. 3 hour wait for cold food that went straight into the bin. Refuse to answer the phone so couldn't even discuss

dripping with oil really not that nice

3 hour wait for cold food that just went in the bin. Aviod

Lovely shared platter, nice atmosphere and friendly staff

Great meat pie with lovely gravy.

We held a wake at the Hare and Hounds. We were made very welcome, the food provided was delicious (everyone loved the sausage rolls). We were well taken care of and nothing was too much trouble. Utterly recommend this pub.

Food, atmosphere and friendly service all excellent. Much nicer than when I came here 3 ish years ago.

Good food.. Welcome fresh feeling... Great service... What more do you need...

No baby changing facilities! Had I known prior would not have gone. After checking the ladies and looking for the disable toilet, a member of staff said afraid we don't have changing facilities. If you have a change mat there is enough space in the ladies (on the floor!) I said no I would rather change him in the car. I was then offered to change on the cushion booth in the 'restaurant area' but I thought this would be unhygienic and embarrassing if other customers were to arrive (sight of poo and the smell due to a leaked baby) so I changed in the boot while it pee'd down and will not be returning now I am aware of the lack of basic facilities. Two star as the mains had been nice, but was ruined by the above and therefore having to leave early when we would have stayed for desserts.

Warm, welcoming place. Friendly staff.

Great night out on Christmas Eve, just make sure if anyone is coming in before 11 is given an wristband, i was not given one (I arrived around half 10) and about half 11, somebody said that I couldn’t served unless I had a wristband (which I didn’t) and it made me upset. Please make sure you offer anyone that arrives on a busy night a wristband, i still had a good night but when the lady told me that I had to a wristband, it upset me, it was still good service but just make sure it is consistent with wristbands that would be appreciated. Thank u N.B. I don’t want to be too harsh on the bar staff hence why it is 4 stars as the service was very good before it 😊

Really friendly staff, nice atmosphere with good choice of ales. Dog friendly....perfect!

excellent food and excellent service

Never my years have I paid £1.80 for a pint of squash. 😠 Small plate fish and chips was more like a child's portion . Tablespoon of peas had fillet of fish 2inches wide by 5 inches long very greasy . 4 new potatoes cut in half . Very very disappointed 😞

Good range of tasty food and drinks, staff really welcoming and friendly

Tasty roast menu and helpful staff

beer and Pepsi tasted odd. Forgot to turn coffe machine on, :( Half pub is being renovated

Great local pub, really friendly and welcoming staff, looking forward to the next visit!

Ausgezeichnetes essen, faire preise, freundliches personal. Besonders feine desserts!!! Das pub hatte einen facelift. (moderner) Persönlich fand ich es vorher gemütlicher (traditionell cozy). Grosser parkplatz und gedeckter aussenbereich.

Lovely stop for a quick rest on our 5 mile walk.

Fantastic food brilliant service lovely place

The first thing we noticed about the bar was the smell. Stale beer never smells good and this was bad! We both have many years history in the trade, so have a rough idea what we're talking about. Five traditional pulls but only one with beer, so opted for that. The young chap tried pulling a pint, but that barrel was empty as well. The lady with him said "I'd better tap another one". Anyone who knows anything about serving beer knows you can't tap a barrel and serve it immediately unless the brewery have delivered it "bright" so basically no real ale available. Normally the default at this point would be Guinness,but this pub doesn't have a Guinness pump!! How many pubs don't sell Guinness. Hanging baskets and tubs outside pretty much dead or dying. Can I suggest the staff drive through Box 3 miles away and see how the Queens head do them.

Worst place in Corsham, rude owners and food rubbish
