Hare and Hounds Pub in New Forest

12 of us went for a meal on Sunday 29 Dec and the food and service were amazing! Every meal was cooked to perfection and our waitress was so friendly. Well done all and Happy New Year!

We have been here a number of times over many years, this is the first time we didn't enjoy our food. The pulled pork burger was burnt, and the gravy with the sausages and mash was terrible. Think it was just a blip in the kitchen. We will return as the beer is good and the staff are excellent. Thank you to the manager for the generous discount.

What a brilliant pub! A beautiful part of the New Forest.. Stunning inside and outside. Easy to park. Delicious food. Generous portions. Great prices for food and drinks. Dog friendly. Excellent staff. Going back tonight for food and Christmas carols.

After a drive thru the New Forest we thought we’d try a local pub for some lunch . On arrival the car park was busy so didn’t think we’d get lucky but we were able to grab a table . Smiling face from the lady who took our order & dealt with us from start to finish and checked with the kitchen for my allergy with my chosen meal . Food was lovely & piping hot and the menu was great .. lots to suit everyone. Thank you for a lovely lunch .

The best chips. Steak and Stilton pie.. delicious. Dog friendly with plenty of space and admiration of my handsome border. All really VERY good.

Such a beautiful and welcoming pub. Visited this pub with my girlfriend as part of a trip down memory lane. Firstly and as a stand-alone observation - the food was so nice and the ambience perfect. The staff were really attentive. But what made it so special was the genuine reaction from the owners/ management when I told them my connection to one of their previous regulars - my uncle Nigel. I was in the pub as a “cheers” to him after 20 years overseas and sadly not being around for his wake nearly a decade ago held in his favourite pub. My day could not have been made more by the stories of his times there and the heartfelt thoughts of his patronage of their pub. Thank you so much guys. I/ we will be back in Sway more regularly and can guarantee that you will be our first port of call. Brilliant. Exactly how a pub should be.

Visited here twice in one month. Came for a Sunday roast, absolutely brilliant. Very tasty. Had so much selection for vegetables. Came here second time and had a delicious smoked salmon with water cress sauce and mash. Fantastic!! The food quality is excellent. The puddings are great too! Belgium waffle with chocolate sauce and ice cream. Lovely!All staff are very friendly and welcoming. A nice cosy pub. One thing. I didn't like when the table behind us clicked there fingers at the waiter this was very rude!! Would definitely recommend and will be back.

Cheerful and efficient service, well cooked locally sourced food. Menu typical pub grub, but quality of ingredients a cut above. Well worth the visit. Have eaten there a couple of times for lunch recently.

Great friendly staff couldn't be more helpful. Food excellent good choice of beer and cider. Would thoroughly recommend. Was served by excellent barstaff called jack and Lisa
