Hare and Hounds in Richmond upon Thames

Tuvimos nuestro almuerzo familiar de Navidad en el Hare and Hounds. La comida era muy buena y el pub tiene un ambiente encantador. Todo el personal era muy amable y servicial. Mi única crítica sería que el servicio era lento. Éramos un grupo grande, pero habíamos pre-ordenado nuestras elecciones de comida y tuvimos que preguntar un par de veces en cuanto a cuándo llegaría la comida. Aparte de eso, un buen almuerzo fue hecho por todos.

Fantástica comida y ambiente. También había un encantador evento de pequeñas empresas que el pub estaban amablemente organizando. Muy agradable para visitar los negocios locales y apoyarlos - que idea maravillosa. El jardín del pub es hermoso, muy bien hecho

Great evening at the H&H with friends. Nice big table and comfy corder with attentive table staff from the friendly staff

Gran lugar para tener una reunión con amigos. Teníamos una gran mesa y un lugar cómodo para charlar. Además de un atento servicio de mesa por parte del amable personal y buen ambiente todo incluido : )

Popped in for a quick drink on my shopping travels. Can get very busy and would recommend booking in advance as its very popular.

The epitome of London table service ie terrible table service.

Always get really friendly service here.

Very attentive and friendly service, food was yummy and great vibes!

Really friendly stuff in here, lovely team. Nice comfy pub with a great atmosphere.

Always a wonderful time here - food delicious, service prompt and helpful. To Lisa and her team - thank you!

Good food - especially the fish and chips. Nice truffle Parmesan fries. The burger was slightly more well done than medium but ok. Excellent service. Nice busy ambience. We had a pleasant evening

This place has a great atmosphere and wonderful people. It is perfect for having a pint at the end of the day.

Wonderful atmosphere and staff! The manager took the time to chat with us and was very friendly! Would definitely come back!

A great meal with a big family group, very patient and friendly staff

It is very good in the Hare and hound and have very nice Beer selection

Best chips I have ever had!!!!!

Loved it here, great menu, lovely setting. Only concerning thing was a number of dirty side plates and glasses brought out to us and it was on a quiet afternoon sitting.

Perfect for a family Sunday lunch with dogs included! The food was superb and the staff are attentive, friendly and couldn’t do more to help even on a busy Sunday. It’s a lovely atmosphere and the big garden means there’s space for younger kids to get up and wander around if they get bored at the table. Highly recommend.

Always a pleasure to be at the Hare & Hound, buzzing any time of the year with good vibes. Watching the margarita being properly made added to the tasting experience. Dogs are welcome and very calm. Pub dogs?! :-) Dynamic fall program with original fancy dress charity sale. Friendly team eager to help and serve.

Hired out the Snug for our baby shower and it was great! Lovely, cosy atmosphere and really friendly staff

Very rudely greeted by the bar staff (grumpy old man) at 7pm today (Friday). I was told I couldn’t eat if I had a child with me. Meanwhile there were many families seated. I’ve been to this place a few times with my children and enjoyed the food but will never go again after the poor treatment. There are other establishments with good food and better customer service in the area. No need to go back.

Nos presentamos a un asado dominical, pero desafortunadamente se habían agotado. Nuestro problema por no reservar con antelación. Me decidí por la hamburguesa, pero la encontré demasiado cocida y seca, no estoy seguro de cómo puedes equivocarte tanto. El personal parecía estar teniendo un desacuerdo "doméstico", por lo general mejor ubicado, no al alcance de los clientes. Nos encanta el jardín y somos habituales a pesar de este desafortunado incidente.

Fantastic service and super accommodating and understanding! Special thanks to Josi and Lisa for excellent communication prior to the booking. Fab Sunday roast!

I’ve been coming here for the first time during summer as a regular as I’ve had a lot of domestic repairs going on in my place. I have loved the garden nooks and crannies and inside quieter spots. What I am pleasantly surprised about is the feel of Home from home. The staff deserve a special mention as they are particularly kind and helpful, always taking a minute to chat, which takes me out of my cluttered headspace into the work that I have to get done. I have sorted out my life quite literally in your pub. 🤩 A special thank you to all the summer staff who made it lots of fun and sociable! Good times !

Best burger I've ever eaten. Beautiful pub with huge beer garden. Superb service. A definite go-to in West London.

Amazing Guinness, nice and quiet

Lovely food and drinks Friendly staff

Hemos visitado su pub en numerosas ocasiones. Probablemente nuestro pub favorito. Sin embargo, esta vez fue diferente. Han abierto una cocina exterior que tiene su propio menú. Para ser honesto, luchamos para reducirlo a un plato cada uno. Decidimos compartir un entrante de paté de caballa, una hamburguesa de filete con costillas cortas y una hamburguesa de pollo a la parrilla con pesto cohete. Absolutamente impresionante. Tan bueno que tuve que ir a la cocina exterior a preguntar quién hizo nuestra comida. Un agradecimiento especial a Carlos, un excelente y talentoso chef. Las cebollas crujientes activan todo. Volveré muy pronto.

Wish the pod smelled more of vape, the server was very annoyed at the smell of smoke but it should have been more of vape and I couldn’t agree more

We love the hare and hounds, the garden is just amazing! The staff and all the team go above and beyond to make sure your having a great time.

Always love the garden - so peaceful, best and biggest one in the area. Also service was friendly, efficient, capable and very good - as usual. Even the weather was perfect, nice balmy summer evening. Menu interesting and varied, catering for all tastes. Drinks great, food generally very good - extremely generous fish and chips, delicious crispy batter and chips. Extra sauces on the side too. But my grilled artichoke and (deep fried) polenta was all a bit oily - the basil dressing seemed to be all oil. Next time I'd ask for the dressing on the side, to add as required. No wonder the calorie count was >700! Altogether a great evening and we'll be back soon, a short walk from home and an excellent experience.

Great pub, wonderful garden, the pork belly Sunday roast is incredible

Fab pub with the most amazing garden. Took friends from California who have impeccably high standards and they said if they lived here they’d be be here atleast once a week. We were so looked after and the food was delicious.

Good food, staff and ambience. Loved it.

Warm beer at £7 a pint in 30 degree heat. No need for further explanation. Chill your beer’s properly. This pub is well known to skimp on paying to chill the beers and serve pints that are well under the 568.

Lovely staff and nice big garden. They should do a lunch menu with sandwiches/ salads etc as we found the options limited for a weekday lunchtime.

Very nice and friendly place with a lovely backyard for nice outdoor seating. Keep in mind that arriving planes will be flying overhead every few minutes. The food was alright, we had the ribs which were alright but not really amazing.

A classic English pub, good food, excellent beers

Enjoyed a lovely Sunday roast with my family in the superb Hare and Hounds garden. Service was excellent - attentive but not OTT. Would definitely recommend.

Staff are absolutely couldn't be more helpful and accommodating. Nice garden. Good food.

Had a really great night at the Hare for the Euros final (shame about the result!) They really pushed the boat out, the service was flawless and they made sure everyone had a great view. The staff were fantastic, so friendly and made it all look effortless. Well done!

I took a group of cyclists here after a ride. We arrived hungry and thirsty and we were well served and fed.

Best place to watch the football They were so fully staffed really easy to get the drinks quickly, great atmosphere, great service and screens in every corner put up for the Euros

Lovely local pub with huge garden and several indoor spaces that let you pick your vibe. Friendly staff. Great beer and drinks. Espresso machine. It's a great place to hang out.

We went there for the first time to watch Euro Cup 2024. After ordering mains, we have been told to leave by 19.30 due to having kids younger her than 18YO. Why they would not tell this while making a reservation till 22.00 or once we arrive? I felt like kicked out after ordering the mains..

Watched the football match outside, they have a great outdoors space. Had the Sunday roast, which was pretty good. Friendly staff.

Didn't eat but lovely little cabins with heaters in the garden

Staff is always very welcoming. I love the ambiance, the food and the attention they pay to their customers. I’m a regular customer and will definitely keep coming back.

Elz and Lude brilliant service. Very nice service and lovely people

Unique experience as our visit was a party/wake to remember a special cousin and wonderful mum . Scotch eggs and fish in breadcrumbs amongst many good things laid on. Staff courteous and welcoming. Will return - the garden looked very inviting.

Lovely location especially ensconced in the cute huts in the garden. Superb roast and excellent friendly service. Very easy with kids too

Fantastic visit to Hare and Hounds on Sunday for Father's Day. Booked the covered hut in advance and really worth it. Service was exceptional.

Worst experience we have ever had in a pub. Worst service. 45’ for a burger. We asked for no onions in one of the dishes and there were onions. I asked to drinks to be brought fresh with food. They brought drinks and the food was 30’ apart. Burgers were dry and poor quality, buns were also bad. No taste into the beef on the roast. The only decent meal was the chicken.

Just had a wonderful lunch at the Hare & Hounds. I had a delicious artichoke salad and my husband had a fabulous burger. Atmosphere and service were super friendly. We will be coming back for more - so lucky to have this pub in East Sheen.

Couldn’t recommend more, from food to service, vibe to pub Ldesign…highly highly recommended…

Nice pub with lots of room, but sadly the food was very poor

The best garden in East Sheen! The Assyrikiti greek white wine is delish.

We had a 40th birthday get together outside on the decking area. The staff were fantastic- attentive and friendly. We bought some sharing platters, which arrived on time and were delicious. Couldn’t fault the day and will be back again soon!

Awesome place and the food portions were huge!

Lovely pub, large inside with a huge garden too. The food was delicious. I had a chicken and leek pie, which was top-notch.

Had an excellent pie here, a cut above usual pub food. I definitely want to go back.

Great food and friendly service. The roasts were massive

Excellent food , lovely lunch 😋 ❤️

Paul was fantastic in accommodating us even though we’d not booked and created a world of chaos.

Superb dinner. Had a late shift and couldn’t face cooking at home. Decided to try out the food and was left with a very full tummy and fat smile on my face! Husband’s steak was medium rare to perfection, my burger had everything I could have wanted and more! I chose to add bacon AND an egg to my burger, brilliant choice. Recommend it to everyone! The Guinness is well kept and delicious, my Estrella is yummy. Definitely recommend to all. Josey and Jackson made our evening even more enjoyable. Thank you for a fab night guys.

Beautiful big garden in the back. Very friendly staff. The long blonde hair girl that served us was amazing. Food came quick and was delicious.

It is a great place but I was disappointed by the experience. It was my turn to be served but one of the male bartenders kept going away to serve other customers who were miles away. He is the tallest among the staff. One lovely lady noticed his action and came over and rescued me. I appreciate her service. This is my second visit and I observed her super service on my first visit too. Thank you! On my first visit, I noticed some acts of immaturity from another male staff too. Trust me I am not paranoid, but he mockingly danced behind me to impress a group of girls while I was leaving the pub. My impression from today is that this gentleman is a team leader or a manager. I can only assure you that I am human and look human.

Pricey but the service and food is top notch. I keep coming back 😆

Great pub. Lude was a fantastic waiter, incredibly friendly, polite and responsive. Lovely evening as always!

I love the Hare and Hounds. Really welcoming and the pub is beautiful. Haven’t eaten there yet but it always looks good! Great garden area and always friendly service.

Very helpful from booking, to bar service and food. Plus my plant burger was amazing and we will be back! Super dog friendly

Exelent food and service booked for small funeral wake cannot fault it.would certainly recommend it.we had a our own room so we could all be together in comfort.

Super food in a lovely proper pub environment with really friendly and efficient staff, the sunday lunch rib of beef was spectacular and good value too. cannot wait for the better weather to sit in the huge back garden- a hidden oasis in East Sheen

Fabulous pub, attentive staff, great food and alcohol free options

The only reason I gave this a 3* and not a 5* is because I booked table for 6 online. Got a confirmation and when we got there the table had not been reserved and the pub was full 😡 The managers reaction was sorry but it’s rugby day. Well then why was I allowed to book online? We found a table for 4 which left two of us standing until people vacated a table and we could move. The staff serving us were 5*

Great staff, and the vegan Wellington was a nice alternative, bit lacking in the variety and size of sides included with the roast, I think I would have left hungry had it not been for the Yorkshire pudding.

As always, a friendly, buzzing venue with fabulous staff and comfortable seating. Great ambience, and cosy with an open fire. The only downside that prevented giving 5 stars is the music was too loud and not best suited to the age of the majority of customers (40+) It was more like club style house music. We were there on a Friday night so maybe it’s quieter during the week? Perhaps they could turn it down a notch and go for something slightly more age appropriate for the clientele? Other than that, I love it there.

Service is always great and it has the best beer garden in SW London. Garden has a nice canopy and outdoor booths so it works even if the weather isn't great.

For me it's a fantastic place. I really love spending holidays there with my wife and daughter. Excellent food, perfect for relaxing in both summer and winter. Really kind and friendly staff.

We managed to get a table on Xmas eve for Lunch/Dinner it was unsurprisingly busy but we were sat and served, There was a Christmas menu and usual bar menu. It was busy and that probably affected service food was ok, not fabulous. A good place for a drink with fabulous outside space in warmer weather, but I think the food offering needs to be improved upon.

I won a competition on Instagram and claimed my three course dinner last night. It was amazing from the start until the end! Staff members were all cheerful, smiley, friendly, attentive...they made the experience perfect. And the food!!! Definitely coming back for the lentil and chestnut soup, out of this world! Three amazing courses, beautiful glass of wine with the best ambiance...thank you Hare & Hounds for an amazing night! See you soon!

Many thanks for hosting my birthday, food, drink and service first class 👏👏👏

We celebrated my son's christening there and it was great.Lovely food and wonderful service.

We held our cycling clubs christmas brunch at the hare and hound pun gardens. The refurb is absolutely beautiful and the heaters, blankets and covers make it a dream throughout winter too. As always the staff and service was second to none and the food always delivers for us all. 10/10 for everything and the best pub in the borough by far!

I was served by Eleanor, great service, always smiling. Happy to chat aswell.

Fantastic evening, buzzing yet relaxed atmosphere, cosy, warm, comfortable, friendly pub. Staff brilliant, they couldn’t have been more helpful. Table service was great so no need to queue at the bar. Will definitely be back soon

Thank you to your excellent team, with a special shout out to Amber who looked after us all so brilliantly on Friday evening. Our Christmas party in the beautiful festive garden was a great success!

We used the 'snug' bar for an early evening farewell drinks party for a neighbour who's moving out of London. The bar was perfect for the event and the staff were super helpful. We had pre-ordered platters of sandwiches and they were Amazing! Delicious, door stop sized and freshly made, we were convinced we'd over ordered but they all went! We could not have been happier with the evening.

Great food and very friendly staff. But, dog friendly only if your dog doesn’t bark more than twice! We had to pay and leave earlier because people complained.

Really great food! Just moved into the area and popped in for a much needed dinner on a Wednesday night which was pie and pud night. Had the steak and Guinness pie which was so so good, rich homemade and the mash and cabbage super fresh. Great wine selection too. Definitely going to be a new regular.

Well I don’t really know what to say. The hare and hounds in East Sheen has always been close to my heart, but since they had their beautiful make over I really struggle to find equally great pubs in the Richmond area. We were there last Sunday with my German family and the roast…. The ROAST… yeh go and see yourself! Oh and the sticky toffee pud!! Delightful! Absolutely stunning! The staff is just the nicest, loveliest and best! Elena and all the others are just wonderful ! Thank you for making every stay to memorable!!

Well-cooked Sunday roast (vegetables particularly well done). A delay on the cauliflower cheese but other than that the service was excellent, quick, and friendly, even though the pub was exceptionally busy. Great with dogs water bowls and treats.

My partner and I came with two Labradors for lunch on Saturday. Lovely pub, excellent team who were very good at their jobs and a really lovely lunch. The starters and the burger was one of the best I’ve had in a very long time. If u was closer I’d definitely visit more

Brilliant Sunday roast. Incredibly accommodating to us with kids and delicious food

We booked the Snug bar area for a gathering after a family funeral. Staff were extremely helpful throughout the booking process. The venue itself was lovely; warm, candlelit and cosy. Staff were really friendly and respectful of the event. Self-serve tea & coffee station was a great idea. Sandwiches were delicious and great value and we enjoyed a wide selection of drinks. Could not have wished for a better venue. Thank you "Hare& Hounds"!

Highly recommend Sunday roast, I was very impressed with the menu choices, the food was amazing and service was fantastic. Special thanks to the team and chefs

Updated 5 Nov 2023. Wow, this pub has turned itself around. Went with a friend for Sunday lunch today. It exceeded all expectations, huge plate of food, horseradish to knock your socks off. Service impeccable. All staff very knowledgeable, helpful and cheerful. Prices more than reasonable . Again thank you to everyone . Go , enjoy.

We came for Sunday lunch and drinks and we were not disappointed! I love the Bloody Mary station, what a gorgeous touch- being able to spice my Bloody Mary up as much as I want and a what an array of garnishes . We shared the baked Camembert and the roast trio of pork, beef and chicken, loads of gravy, all the trimmings including cauliflower cheese and creamed leeks (these are my fave). The service was great from the moment we walked through the door and were greeted by the bar staff to the waitresses taking orders throughout our meal. 10/10

I always like it here. Welcoming with good beer and service. Excellent outside area and the inside is very comfy.
