Lovely serving staff. The food was all or mostly fron lidls.£ 35 for a three course meal was extortionate. It was ok.The time between all people being served their main course was 15 mins. Food got cold whilst waiting for our gravy. Desert was still frozen..The English mustard was out of date. But I am still alive. The upside was we didn't have to wash up.

Absolutely awful service! Bar lady was slagging off customers with the intention of them overhearing. Larger served in ale glasses. Wasn’t allowed food as they had bookings (the pub was dead). Wouldn’t recommend, get better service at raunds McDonald’s.

We went with friends on a pre ordered festive menu lunch. The starters were lovely and nothing to complain about. Likewise the deserts were also very good. The turkey mains were not so good. the turkey was stone cold and there wasn't a great deal of variation on the plate. Some roast potatoes a few carrots and Brussels some stuffing a parsnip and a sausage with bacon wrapped around it and no Yorkshire. We felt for £29.99 for a festive me menu it wasn't great value and certainly didn't feel festive and we didn't even get a cracker to pull. We did tell them and they offered to heat it up but we didn't fancy pinged turkey.

Waited an hour on a Sunday afternoon and only received drinks, when we asked how long our starters would be, we were told the chef had walked out and someone should have told us, which they didn't, at which point we walked out too. We had a 2 year old with us so waiting around any longer wasn't an option. On the way out we were confronted by rude staff asking us why we weren't going to pay for our drinks, which I thought would have been quite obvious. Poor communication. Inexperienced staff. Can't comment on the food, but not worth a trip back to find out.

We were unsure what to expect with the H&H but were plesently surprised. Varied choice of food (typical pub grub), but all was delicious and well presented, came out as large portions and all hot and fresh. Staff were amazing- they gave my dad several shots of sambuca as it was his birthday, and were chatty and friendly (we hope they enjoyed the rest of the birthday cake we gave them!) We will certainly be back!

Very Poor and don’t get sucked in by photos!! Looked on line and photos of food but as a birthday treat this place destroyed the day. Photos day it all but dirty food does not get a good review. £133 for food which mostly went in Bin!! Scampi and chicken was okay but salad was brown and very poor. I made family go here rather than a Beefeater!! Big mistake and so much for supporting local pubs!! To polite to say anything other than it was okay when asked but what a complete wash of money and spoiled birthday treat.

Me and my partner went for the steak night on Thursday. The pub itself is very small and basic and not very cosy. I like a country pub to be cosy. However, the steaks were beautiful. Locally sourced and cooked to perfection. The price was really good too, £11 for an 8oz steak with lovely skin on chips and salad. My partner had dessert too which she really enjoyed. I recommend a visit and we will be going back for the steak soon. The owner and the chef are nice and friendly too.

Having reviewed the website, tripadvisor and from an ad in a local rag, thought we'd try the fish and chips night at great value at £8 Inc a bar drink. Great value and worth the money. The meal was freshly cooked fish had lovely llight batter. Food good, pub ambience not great! It felt as though we were in a youth club! Having first hand experience in running a community pub, it's difficult pleasing both the shareholders (locals and kids running amok) and attracting outside business, necessary for the landlady to make a living and not just running a 'private club' for the village!

I'll start with the negatives, upon arrival me and my boyfriend were not greeted or welcomed even though the landlady/manager was in the bar area, she seemed to be more busy watching videos on her laptop and was rather rude when she did speak to us, there was a nice young labrador springing around the pub, which is fine as we are dog lovers but when eating the puppy nudged us and licked us while trying to have a meal, and the dog was also visibly coming in and out from the area which seemed to be the kitchen (hygiene) The food was alright, limited menu but didn't taste bad,would have expected a little more for the price paid as it looked like it had to be done on a very tight budget. Saying it was okay i'll also mention it was very slow to come out and we were never offered second drinks, maybe because we were forgotten or maybe because socialising and drinking with her friends is what the landlady prefers to do during work hours. I hope this was a one off and doesn't happen often.In honesty I wouldn't recommend this pub to anyone or feel the need to urge my friends to go which is a shame because if it was being done right the pub could work well but I dont see it going anywhere.

Well, what can I say?! Table was booked weeks and weeks ago for Easter Sunday 5th Apr which coincided with my Grandfather's 80th Birthday (he lives in Kettering). Plans made for family to travel from Suffolk, Norfolk, SE London and SW London. Great. I even called on 1st April to confirm booking and check we could bring balloons and birthday cake etc, "yes, no problem sir, see you on Sunday". Best April fool joke I've had played on me for a few years, what a fool! After almost 2 hours of travel for all involved, apart from ageing grandfather (thankfully) we were told that there was no booking, no record of a booking and no chef who had apparently "walked out last week"... well thanks for the phone call I never had to tell me this, although with our 'fictional' booking and 'fictional' phone number I left, this would have been challenging and very basic customer service seemingly?! The lady my sister spoke to on arrival was seemingly rude and totally unhelpful.As for the food, don't know, don't care. We found somewhere far better who welcomed all 9 of us at short notice and had a lovely lunch. We don't visit places you can't trust, so suggest anyone who reads this does the same and goes elsewhere. Utter nonsense.

Mother's Day and based on ratings here, our selected venue, we like pubs over restaurants if done well - and good point number 1 - dog friendly. It really is a pub though, it has 5 or 6 tables and they were all in use as you'd expect, but this still meant only 15 or so dining - so why it took over 2 hours for 3 courses isn't entirely clear. The staff were polite and fine, beer good and the food quite good. A limited menu for Sunday we expect, 2 meats, one fish and a veggie option and with starters and puds for a fixed £20 not bad at all. But a wait of around 30 minutes between courses was a little too long, we were not in a hurry, had a drink and talked so no need for complaints - but it seems the young lady waiting tables may have also been cooking it, plating it, washing up - you name it, she did it....Been to worse, been to a lot better too though, some must have had a much better experience than we did, best I can muster is - it's alright..

Haven eaten here many times throughout the years I thought it would be about time to write a review.The pub received a renovation a few years ago which modernised the pub in a good way and it still has that old local pub feel to it. The atmosphere is amazing in there due to the wooden skittles table, the large fireplace and the friendly staff as well as the new landlady Holly! There's a mixture of seating, bar stools, sofas, outside tables, and normal restaurant tables. There are fires in both the restaurant area and the casual seating area so it's certainly a comfortable temperature in the winter!The food in the hare is amazing with myself having the burger many times and it being incredibly good each time! The prices are also good considering the quality of the food and the service.I would highly recommend this pub to anyone!

Went for Sunday lunch with the family yesterday. Homely feeling in the pub with a lovely labrador puppy who wanted to be everyones friend running around. Nice selection of cask ales. The menu was a little restricted with a choice of 4 starters and 4 mains. Only roast beef available. The food when it came was nicely cooked and presented. We were the only diners in the premises at the time so there was a lack of atmosphere,until a number of locals came in to watch the rugby on t.v.

My family and I have eaten out at the Hare and Hounds several times over the last few months and have had a range of fantastic meals. The menu is changed regularly and the chef is amazing, producing top quality, beautifully presented food. Even the steak night meals are very good quality and if you book at least a day before hand you can ask for a fillet or a sirloin steak (at a slightly higher price) instead of the rump. The staff are more than happy to help and are very accommodating.

The Chef (we learned) had only arrived a few weeks ago but had already won an award. If the quality of the food was anything to go on then he will certainly win many more.Try it. You won't be disappointed.:0)

A fantastic meal, beautifully cooked and presented and although I don't usually like puddings I had a taste of each of the others in the group puddings and am a convert!

Walked into an already busy pub with my partner, to be almost seen to immediately and politely even though it was clearly busy. The food was amazing, better than any of the other local pubs in the area, almost too good to be served in a pub. But that is why we would return because the food was such good value for money. The staff were all polite, the gorgeous girls complimenting the bar and service were very helpful and not too intrusive like you can get in some places, good manners too, and even the tall handsome pot-washing lad smiled and asked if we were okay and it all just gave us a welcoming feeling, this is what pubs should be like. Very enjoyable evening, with amazing prices that would be silly to miss.

Our first visit to the Hare and Hounds after many years and what a lovely evening we had. A varied imaginative menu of different flavours. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful evening, with a variety of different gins to taste in-between four courses of stunningly good food. The menu created by the newly crowned Northamptonshire chef of the year was sublime, with each course being complimented by the different gins. This wasn't mere pub grub, this was top-notch restaurant quality at a very reasonable price. Would highly recommend attendance if this evening is repeated. Atmosphere was relaxed and the tasting notes were helpful. The staff were very attentive.

A lovely small pub/restaurant with very good food and nice atmosphere. We have eaten here on several occasions and have always found it an enjoyable experience. Our children love this pub as it is very friendly and has a very good and safe play park.

A friend recommended the Wednesday steak night offer to me and it didn't disappoint . We were given information about the nights menu when we phoned to book a table and were given a very to friendly welcome on arrival. After choosing our drinks we were shown to our table in the warm newly decorated dining area. We were told that all the food is freshly cooked to order and locally sourced. As it was steak night we both choose steak, for my husband a six ounce fillet steak and for me a rump steak. We didn't have to wait too long for the food to arrive, it looked delicious and was well presented on the plate, both steaks were served with tomato, mushroom, chips and the most crispy onion rings. We were offered sauces and mustards and then left to enjoy our food. Both steaks were cooked medium rare and were delicious. The waitress returned once to check the food was OK and to top up our wine glasses . Desert was not included in the offer but we decided on a sticky toffee pudding with ice cream and an orange and cardamon slice with orange cream. Both were very tasty and finished the meal perfectly.We both agreed the food was fantastic and we would return again very soon.

Used to visit when this was a village pub no food but skittles and darts. Fully refurbished, modern scrub top tables small dining area and separate area with soft seating for coffee or just a drink. Joined friends for lunch. Crisp white linen napkins, even at lunchtime, excellent start.Proprietor extremely friendly, helpful. Food was all home cooked by the chef. Good choices either a la carte menu or the bar menu. An offer is that the lunchtime main course is half priced for a smaller portion, which we thought was a brilliant idea. We shared a plate of charcuterie between 3 to start. The cold roast beef, belly pressed pork, and terrine were delicous. As were the home made piccallili and the chutneys. Warm bread and plenty of it, with a garlic butter served separately. Added to the plate a garnish of salad sufficient for all of us. Our main was a smoked salmon and prawn salad which was very fresh and just enough. Will definitely re visit.There is a large car park, and an even larger garden, so it is child friendly.

As a local resident I was very pleased when the Hare & Hounds reopened, the interior is much improved, on our last visit however, the barmaid/landlady spent the whole time we visited on her laptop.We were never asked if we wanted a menu or food.I tried a coffee which was dreadful, undrinkable,by this time she had disappeared upstairs so we gave up and left.I won't be returning and hope that when The Bell reopens it will be more welcoming.
