Hare and Hounds in Rochdale

Amazing food, lovely staff love the new menu really wide range of choices lasagne was divine.

The new owners have done a brilliant job of making the pub feel cosy and welcoming. Well done new team! Food was AMAZING

New owners in recent weeks, food was bang on had the pate followed by steak and ale. Service was spot on too.

Fantastic food lovely staff especially Claire she's a star will definitely be coming back 😋

Called in for lunch...which was delicious and will be returning.

I popped in for a bit of lunch and service was prompt, the steak was as I like it ( medium rare) and overall the pub is welcoming with a warm cosy atmosphere. Price was reasonable too so I’ll be definitely popping my head ( and belly) in again soon.

Had a great steak and Ale pie today. Service was great. Would recommend to anyone!

Enjoy a delicious meal today. Steven and Claire are doing a great job. We both started with garlic mushrooms. I the has salt & pepper chicken burger and my husband had the steak & ale pie. Couldn't fault anything, the food and service are excellent. Our dog thoroughly enjoyed his goody box. We fill a small box with bits of our meals as a reward for being a good boy while we're out. We will definitely be back very soon.

Had a lovely lunch catching up with friends. Attentive staff looking after us. Spoilt for choice on the menu! So many favourites, but had to go for the steak and ale pie in the end! Absolutely delicious! The home made comfort food taste with style! Can’t wait to return for a Christmas dinner! 😊

Lovely atmosphere....amazing food. Would recommend.

Fantastic food and lovely service! The food was absolutely delicious, we will definitely be back soon! The Christmas menu looks amazing!

A bit expensive but a lovely place might have to try the food

Excellent bar staff. I attended when the pub was full and never had to wait at the bar! Really impressed. Nice sized beer garden as well. Nice pub.

Lovely food, great service,great price.

Great food at really good prices. Lovely atmosphere. Perfect stop for a bite to eat.

Good , but be sure to book for a good table .

Called in here today because we was in the area working the food was fantastic and the portion sizes very generous. The pub is very nice with friendly staff.

Great food Great service. Nice pint as well 👍

First time ever today been here and all I'm gonna say is ... staff 💯 fantastic. Food 💯 extra amazing and all all home cooked. Atmosphere 💯 friendly. Prices good. Will I return... Omg 💯 yes 😍

Amazing home cooked food and service with a smile 👍

Decent bar Which is local to me. Beer is reasonably priced, staff are nice and friendly. Food looks great and I've heard some good things about it but not tried it yet. It's on the list. I dont think you can use the bar now without eating. Tried the food twice now and it's pretty good honest pub grub! Can't fault it. 3 different meals orders and smashed. Service was great. Reasonably priced too.

Just had another lovely meal here the food is great. Massive portions cannot fault it been here a few times and never dissappointed would highly reccommend and the staff are great and very attentive. A must try if your hungry for good home cooked food

Staff welcoming and friendly, food delicious 😋 atmosphere warm, nice steady flow of customers for a Monday, which is always a good sign. see you again soon. Three courses for me next time.

The food here is exceptional and delicious. The portions are generous and beautifully presented. The service is friendly and the atmosphere is cosy. In the summer months the gardens are glorious. I love spending an afternoon dining here.

Delicious Sunday roast, excellent value for money.

Absolutely delicious lamb shank went large and loved it, really big serving. Went for Sunday lunch 3 adults and sat in back room with no other guests so no real atmosphere from other dinners.

The 2 of us were heading to the airport from Wakefield and randomly chose the pub to eat at. The service was prompt, atmosphere comfortable, and the food delicious; we both had Lamb shank. I would certainly drive out, to eat here again.

Just got back from the hare and hounds. 4 of us and 2 children, we can not say anything negative about the place, food is always excellent, drinks are good and not to pricey. The staff are lovely and the young girl that brought our food was very perlite and smiling 😃 all that is what makes a good pub, see you soon 😊 keep up the good work 👏

been here again this afternoon fir hubby's birthday meal, new specials board available, omg, every dish we had was absolutely amazing, Jerkchicken especially, so tasty, steak tagliatelle couldn't be faulted too, absolutely perfect, not sure who chef is here but they need to be praised big time, they definitely know their stuff, we'll be back before you know it, thanks again for a fab birthday afternoon 🎁🎁🥳🥳💙💙😊😊 staff absolutely lovely too

Pie steak pie was gorgeous and very generous portions

Beautiful little pub and absolutely amazing food! I'll definitely be returning!

Thank you Hare and Hounds just been in to book a table for 16 people on Monday 11th December, you had no issues with adding an extra two chairs or numerous chairs to the booking if required, you have no issues if needed to transfer my £80 deposit ( you only needed £20) onto another date if for work commitments resulted in cancelling the 11th booking. a Far cry from the Old Boars head who made the adding of two extra chairs a big deal and only changed their minds after it was pointed out they would be losing a great deal of money on the 11th because I would cancel the whole booking over extra 2 chairs and would not transfer deposits if required, ( I get this because a deposit is that a deposit) however the whole customer service from the Old Boars head was shocking at booking I dread to think what it would be like once seated and food coming out.

Absolute best tribute to Gary Burke a man who had a massive input on lots of people's lives. Thanks Gary for taking time out to bring friends together.

Been going here years. Never had a bad meal. Always best to book as always busy. Staff are really nice. First nane terms!

Super friendly staff and fantastic food. Very reasonable price.

Great food staff are lovely very helpful good atmosphere been here few times now also had a curry lovely aswell certainty be going back good parking space aswell brenda

great place with delicious food, friendly people, dog friendly pub

Had a lovely meal here with friends. I had the Steak & ale pie, my Husband had the gammon. Both meals were good honest food! Went down very well. The service was very friendly. Definitely would visit again when we are up there

Possibly the best roast I've had in my life. Every component was magical and a delight to the senses. The lamb leg was gr8. Service quick on a Sunday, classic suburban pub vibes

Never been before but went on a recommendation. The Sunday Roast was very good. The choice of vegetables and quality of the meat were exceptional. Will be definitely trying the main menu on our next visit. Friendly and efficient staff.

Brilliant food as always.. gret portions .. staff are always friendly

Excellent Sunday lunch. Well priced. Lovely family pub. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Will be back

Enjoyed last time but surprised to find this time it was closed at lunchtime on a Saturday. Of all the days to be closed. Will call next time in advance. Ratings based on previous weekday visits.

Great food and lovely beer garden.

Great food, lovely polite and professional staff.

We have been here a few times now we had Sunday dinner chicken and beef and a sweet can't fault food lovely meal and staff are lovely and very helpful brenda and colin

The atmosphere is very cozy and relaxed. Service excellent and food amazing.

When you actually find this pub open, (cos it seems to open when it wants) it's ok. Got a Lovely garden. It's a pub that you can get a cheeky scran in and a dearish pint, not a bad pub 👍 Staff are sometimes miserable. If I'm honest : if you can get to this pub your Better off going into mid

Exceptional food, reasonable prices

Always lovely food and friendly service

This was my 2nd visit to the Hare and Hounds, the first being about 12 months ago, and both times the food has been excellent. A lot of pubs serve main meals with sandwiches, wraps and light bites included on the menu as what appears to be an after thought judging by the quality. However the Hare and Hounds takes care to ensure above average quality and variety across their menu. Prices are average. On this occasion I had fish, chips and mushy peas which is standard in most places but it was Friday! One of my companions had a Mexican chicken and mayo wrap accompanied by salad and chips and the other had crispy shredded beef, Chinese style, with 1/2 and 1/2 rice and chips. The staff are attentive without being fussy. I don’t live in the area but would have no hesitation about eating there again.

Excellent food, best in Middleton and Chadderton. Reasonable priced. Staff are lovely ,so friendly and helpful.

Best pub food for miles around. Cheese and onion pie simply a taste sensation, big portions too.

There were no cask beers available and the wine selection was poor. I had cheese and onion pie and chips. The pie was lovely but the chips may have been home made but not sure when. My partner had lamb shank which was really nice. The staff however were not very welcoming, this is our second visit but definately our last.

I stopped here to use the bathroom. They were really helpful.

Love it here, we do the quiz on Thursday most weeks and our little dog loves coming here and playing with the pub dog. The landlord is friendly and the atmosphere is always welcoming.

Went along with a group of people and dined in a side room. Very friendly service and good quality fayre. Well done to all involved.

Great pub,great food, great atmosphere, Great prices

Fantastic food and excellent service the Welford chicken is our favourite

Absolutely beautiful meal that was enjoyed by all 4 of us. Nothing to complain about. Great sized potions and all reasonably priced. Staff extremely friendly and polite and will definitely revisit when in the area again. Thank you!

Come here on occasion for lunch and the the food is always very good , complimented by warm and friendly staff . Gets our recommendation every time. 👏👏

nice hot food ' friendly staff . . .

Food rubbish the pub very cold ...we was told the food is good thats why we came how disappointing. wouldn't come back any time soon....i wonder if the chef is fairly new if so that person needs to up the game and sort the food out ?

Nice down to earth pub, friendly staff and lovely food. Large parking area.

Went for 1st time for a meal with friends here and was not disappointed. I had a turkey dinner and it was very nice and fresh. Others had different choices and they too liked theirs. The only down side was that the room was cold and I sat with a coat on.

Reasonable prices, cozy interior and many home made dishes..Food was lovely 👍🤗

Brilliant pub food. Loved the Minced Beef Pie, it reminded me of the one my late Mum used to make. Delicious. Would definitely eat here again.

Four of us Went in for lunch one afternoon , the food was good but for goodness sake throw a few more chips on , service good if not over friendly ,we couldn’t understand why one of the staff put loud music on , it certainly wasn’t for our benefit maybe it was for theirs ,

Really enjoy our visits here. Food never disappoints

Come here quite often the food is excellent good old British classics well cooked. Staff are friendly & welcoming. I can understand why the run out it really is superb.

Booked well in advance well before our visit booked for six people for Sunday roast at 6pm when we arrived we were told they didn’t have any roast left so we had to choose something else so we did it was okay had starter’s as well wine etc we we looking at the suite menu when one of the staff came over and told me we were unable to order afters because the kitchen staff were going home! This is 7-15 and we had to leave because they wanted to close up this was a birthday celebration for my wife ! What a letdown .

Best pub food around here! Everything is delicious! It’s all homemade by the friendly kitchen staff. All the staff are friendly and welcoming.

Amazingly fresh tasty home cooked food . Efficient, friendly staff . Reasonably priced , local place . Nothing too much problems for this place

I really enjoyed my visit to The Hare and Hounds. We went their for my sister in laws birthday. The staff were ace and I ate my food in record time as it was so tasty. The all important food hygiene rating is 5 stars too which is always good to see! We were out in beer garden which is decorated with fine flowers, mainly Dhalias of different colours. Really nice!

Lovely food. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Efficient, friendly staff.

Lovely pub with fabulous food and nice staff

Food was v good and staff welcoming and friendly.

Good food and good service. Nice atmosphere inside the pub and staff were helpful. The fish and chips were a little disappointing in that the fish wasn’t as expected and was a lot smaller than I anticipated. Everything else ordered was very nice and this included lasagne and the chicken skillets. Would definitely return and recommend.

We eat here often and it is alway great food staff are friendly and very helpful will be back soon.

Great food, efficient and friendly staff - give it a try - you wont be disappointed!!

Great food Great service and all at a very reasonable price .

Lovely pub with lovely food. Great to be able to choose a choice of jacket, new potatoes or chips to have with meals. I had the grilled chicken with jacket potato & salad - it was delicious! Friendly staff provide table service.

Been out shopping with my sister for the day. Thought we would go out for tea but could not decide where. I said let's try the Hare & Hounds on Oldham Road. We wern't disappointed, what a lovely pub, plenty to choose from the menu, plenty of 'Daily Specials' and a great atmosphere. We chose off the daily special board and had Beef & Black Pudding Meatballs, Mashed Potato, Carrots, Peas & Broccoli with a sauce you could not get enough of. 😋 Even though this pub is on my doorstep I have never been in before. I will be going there again for a meal. The staff are great, very friendly and helpful and make you feel welcome. 😀 Thanks for a nice experience.

Had lunch here for the first time. Good selection on the menu. Good first rate.

Attended a friend's 80th birthday party. Landlady ,& landlord very pleasant.

Nice big portions and everything was delicious

Very nice food in a pleasant safe environment

Good food Great value for money a fab place to go

Decent pub grub always good food

Not changed other than most pubs, the pandemic has altered most businesses. Fortunately, the landlord has retained most of his his staff, and they are all helpful and friendly. The prices have risen, but that's to be expected.

Great pub great food and service was fast and friendly

Enjoyed a lovely family lunch here last Sunday, pies, lamb shank and a roast chicken dinner all really nice.

Tried lots of local pub food and this is by far the best around.

Great place for food took my mother last week and we both thoroughly enjoyed it.

Fabulous food. Great staff. Always know its going to be good when you go

Family meal to celebrate my sons marriage to Claire, had a great day

First time and probably won't be the last. The food was lovely and staff really friendly 😁

Nice atmosphere, attentive staff . lovely food. Highly recommend
