Hare and Hounds Pub in Tingley in Leeds

Booked a table here 2 weeks in advance and on arrival the staff had no idea we were coming. Table was initially booked for 8, luckily only 5 could come as we had to be squashed onto a table for 4. Staff then pestered us about the booking, insinuating that we were at the wrong place or that we hadn't received confirmation of the booking. I showed them the emails in the end and that seemed acceptable, but still no apology. Food was acceptable, but service was incredibly slow. Pizzas were brought out 2 at a time with around 5 minutes between them and the final pizza was brought out around 15 minutes after the rest. The staff actually came to ask if the food was okay before my pizza was even delivered and I had to point out mine hadn't arrived. The pizza was okay, but most of the vegetables on top weren't fully cooked through. Following the food, we stayed for another hour or so but didn't get anymore drinks as the staff all seemed to migrate to the other side of the pub and weren't seen on our side of the bar again for the rest of the evening. Overall, I don't think I would be in a hurry to return I'm afraid.

Lovely outdoor area, clean & well kept. Unfortunately the small carpark is a problem the overflowing cars on the road can be an issue.

Massive marquee style room at the back of the pub which holds several parties. See through domes with fairy lights outside as well as outdoor tables. Large gas heaters in the marquee. Leather sofa seating with blankets. Must say tho that the sofas must be ready for replacing as they get that much use they are firm anymore and its difficult to get up once you sit down.

Fab food, brilliant happy staff and great dog friendly venue

We had the seafood share platter for 2. It was amazing,very tasty and plenty of it,more than enough for two. Great pub with a fantastic outside area.

Love this place. Many different areas to the pub to suit peoples varying tastes. The bar prices are on the expensive side but they clearly put a lot of money back into the place. The garden area especially is beautiful. We also had home made pizzas, the meat feast one and a vegetarian one and both tasted amazing.

Beer sometimes get a pizza all very good

I went to a funeral wake, we were outside, under cover, it was lovely.

Soglad we came nice place good food choice.

The best beer garden in the area. Lovley pizza... Great atmosphere... Discount for cash 🎉

Very lively atmosphere and lots of seating for everyone. It is very popular and a hidden gem.

What a gorgeous pub with a huge beer garden and lovely views of the sunset! The food and cocktails are amazing and well presented. Couldn't fault it!

we stopped off her on our way to our holiday after reading the reviews of the lovely food. Unfortunately we were told they only serve food Thurs- Sunday which was a shame we were not the only people to ask for food whilst we were there

Had a fabulous day , service was fabulous as was the food , can't wait to return

interesting place had the steak pie (very good but bit salty) and the hollumi wrap well worrtj a visit

We had my daughter's 40th birthday here, absolutely loved it! The staff were super, really friendly and helpful. The buffet was incredible, so tasty and definitely more than our guests could eat lol Even better that they had a live singer on part way through...we had a few children so we were booked from 3.30 till 8pm, fabulous!

Sorry to say, love the pub had food before, but went Thursday with family, my wife had steak pie, son in law had chicken skewers both happy my self and daughter had chicken burger and cheese burger both very disappointed very dry bread was hard no garnish, sorry still will come back.

This is a real hidden gem. A must visit it's fantastic!!!

Second time stopping here after a walk from Ossett. Come on a Sunday both times and it's been pretty busy inside. Sat outside at the back and had a drink and a pizza which are fresh made and baked in the outdoor pizza oven. Pizzas are great and pretty cheap too. Also not a lot of pubs serve Tinothy Taylor's Knowle Spring which is one of my favourites.

Ordered food forgot to bring to the table we only got are food when my noticed it just sat on the bar

Great atmosphere. Lots of space for large groups inside the tent and under covers. Speedy service and friendly staff. Food was decent.

First time visited and was amazed. From the front looks like a normal pub but out the back they have another bar area that is just beautiful. Staff all very friendly and food was great. Will definitely visit again

Lovely setting, very dog friendly. Great for watching sports outside Sunday dinner was amazing. Service was brilliant

Great place we were lucky enough to call in when they had entertainment outside it was definitely a bonus

Found this pub by accident but glad we did Food was beautiful and reasonably priced all staff were very friendly will definitely be visiting again

Couldn't believe how much this place has expanded since I last called in. The outside facilities are brilliant and the pizzas are very reasonably priced.

Great service ,great food in a nice setting

Jacqui and the team have worked hard over the years to make the Hare and Hounds a great place to visit, eat and drink at. During Covid the pub went from having a small outdoors to now having a huge outdoor pavilion with plenty of comfy sofas, giant bubble dining areas for cosier eating and recently added a bottle and shots bar in the vastly expanded beer garden. There's regular entertainment, live music and comedy included plus big screen TVs for any sporting events. The menu is very diverse and the food always of the highest standard.

We had our wedding reception there Saturday 13th July absolutely amazing Food which was exceptional atmosphere amazing and the staff so professional customer service 100% and Jackie fairburn made us feel special on our special day, thank you to everyone for making our day one we will always remember will definitely be going again and recommend to anyone wanting a special occasion to celebrate keep up the excellent work ❤️❤️❤️

Excellent pub with friends staff and a great atmosphere.

Attended a party in the outdoor covered area, plenty of seating, heaters, and an outside bar with toilets. Also has a lovely area as well for weddings or just to sit in large outside beer garden on picnic tables. Great service. Didn't try the food, but people couldn't recommend it enough. Hidden gem.

Great outdoor space and pizzas and wraps with wood fire pizza oven! Fantastic pub!

This place is a little gem, friendly staff, fantastic food at a very reasonable price. I had a wood fired pizza and I can honestly say the best I have ever had, plenty of toppings - just how a pizza should be. The wife had teriyaki chicken kebab which looked amazing. Will definitely be coming back again and again and again 😉

Really nice pub..lots of variety to drink.

great place great beers great people need i say more

Nice pub with large outdoor tables arrangement. Good food and drinks. Recommend.

Great outdoor space, a little hidden gem behind the pub.

Lovely food, booked a table and was a bit cramped as we were only given tiny table but lovely food 😋

Great food good atmosphere...friendly staff.

Great Place, been going for years on a regular meet up and live music fridays. Great sofas at the rear under the tents. Great Place

A lovely comfortable place to spend the afternoon or evening catching up with friends. Also great for small functions. Many different places to sit inside and out. Staff are always very helpful and friendly. Love it here....

Lovely pub, great food, amazing outdoor area

Nice little pub for a drink didn't have food but its lovely bar staff friendly too

First time in a number of years been in, wow what a beer garden, didn't have anything to eat but plenty did and it very nice, well worth a visit now the weather is getting better

Had lovley sunday lunch everything was beautiful

Food is spot on ! And a sound environment to eat it in 👍

The staff were very friendly and helpful. Everyone had a smile. The food was lovely. Great service defo recommend!

Brilliant pub, highly recommend it! The atmosphere is lovely with plenty of different places to sit, good value for money, great service - they answered the phone quickly, we were seated and catered to well and the food came quickly. It was very busy as it was a sunny Saturday so there were some waits to order at the bar, but totally understandable. The car park is small so if full, street parking looks a bit tough. We took the last parking space.. The food was ok, but very well priced. Will definitely return again, it's super dog friendly too, very happy overall thank you :)

Lived near the pub 20 years and today when visiting I popped in. Didn't disappoint. Massive outdoor seating available with wonderful views. Service a little slow but it was busy. Won't wait 20 tears to return!

Got a beef sandwich it was perfectly cooked. Nicely presented £10.50 with chips and salad.

Very good pub, nice beers, tasty food

Called for a pint and was pleased to find that they look after the beet very nice pint.

Attended a family members Gender reveal party yesterday and had a wonderful time. Location, staff, room dress-up, food and atmosphere were great. Would definitely go again. However, the locals threatening to call the police when I was legally and considerately parked, on a public high-way was way too entitled!. Didn't spoil my day though.

Friendly, good beer and good singer. Great pub.

Asked for an allergen menu - couldn’t provide one.

Brilliant Sunday dinner. First time we've eaten there. Won't be the last! My son never leaves anything but the triple meat beat him ( only just!) Fantastic!

Lovely pub, my niece had a birthday party here, and the food was amazing. All I will say is it gets VERY busy on a weekend,so don't go expecting to get sat down. But this shows how popular the pub is. The gin is presented very well with ice, fruit and a little flower. Just an all round great pub.

Fantastic pub ,we will definitely coming back

My local, my favourite, the outdoor area is delightful, the pizzas are so yum, the bar staff and owners are great. The lodge is super cute and cosy with all the gas fires going and blankets to snuggle under. Drinks selection is top class. Pub quiz is a lot of fun. Can't fault it.

excellent food quality service excellent beer reasonable price

Wow , what a deceptive pub . Walk through to the garden and you'll be met with pods with blankets to keep you warm . A shed with real heaters and another bar ( added marquee) . Really attractive space . Well done .

Last day of February. So an indoor meal. Very impressed with the outdoor spaces on the way in. Good food at lunchtime. Great service, though it was not very busy. Choice of lounge or snug. Proper pub grub in a proper pub. Beer, was really 👍

Great Sunday lunch and a beer garden that makes you want to stay for hours!

Best all weather beer garden around. Excellent pub

It's really disappointing to leave such a poor review but I can only rate it on the experience we had. We were booked in for 4:30 so arrived at 4:20. The service was clearly strained due to being so busy - however, they only have around 8/10 tables for food so hard to understand why they can't cope. The starter was fantastic, mushroom soup was really tasty but we waited too long for it. Then we waited nearly an hour more for the main - by 6:05 we'd only had the starter which given our booking was for 4:30 is poor to say the least. However, looking at the food which was coming out, we thought it would be worth the wait. Home made Yorkshire's, nice looking roast potatoes, the whole thing looked amazing. What we received was completely different. Clearly we'd received the dreg ends. We received 1 roast potato per dinner, a tiny portion of mashed potato, 1 tiny frozen Yorkshire pudding and a huge portion of stuffing. Personally I went for the roast pork with crackling but received no crackling and the pork was pure fat (literally). They did provide me with a lot of chicken as a backup for this. To receive such small portions of the main ingredients of a roast is unacceptable in my opinion. I have to say, what we did have was very tasty which adds to the disappointment really. The staff were pleasant, the main lady in charge was a delight and very friendly, the place has a nice atmosphere. They just let themselves down badly. The way it was handled was the main disappointment. They should have just been honest and said they'd run out of food and we'd have accepted their honesty and known what to expect. To make us wait nearly two hours for half a main course is again, very poor. The whole experience was ruined. We were offered a round of drinks off the bill which I refused out of sheer frustration, annoyance and not wanting to accept an empty gesture at the end. Such a shame as we thought we'd found a local place we could visit time and time again. Sadly not.

Fantastic warm welcome from Joanne. Come sofa's in the marqee with lovely warm heaters.Felt like we were in Covent Garden. THE FOOD was delicious and reasonably priced. Will certainly return.

First time going, great place to go, food was spot on and great staff, thanks

Brilliant pub great atmosphere Lovely food and staff

My favourite pub in West Yorkshire,great atmosphere and staff can't do enough,summer is even better with beer garden.

First time visit for a birthday. Such a lovely pub the cosy marquee was fab with the heaters going. Would definitely go back.

Lovely environment, warm and cosy, nice helpful and approachable staff, I had the signature chicken burger but sadly it was a bit dry 😔 I'll defo be back though cos this hasn't put me off!!

Lovely pub, great food and great staff. The only downside is the parking but you can always park on one of the roads around.

Great food and lovely staff. Lovely outside area but unfortunately wasn't open when we went. Dog friendly.

Birthday party in the outside marquee. Bar staff great, friendly and efficient. No food involved.

Excellent service and food highly recommend we will be back very soon

Great pub! Went for Sunday lunch and although they were fully booked they have plenty of space to sit and you can still order a roast in a box. Also tried a pizza from the wood fired oven which was also great. They pour a good guineas too. Huge amount of outside seating with some unique pods.

Love this place! Just had celebrations for my 50th birthday and all my friends and family were really impressed with everything too.

Marvellous Sunday lunch at a reasonable price but you need to book.

Met with friends for a few drinks. Lovely garden with seating and igloo type pods with comfy seating too.

Stunning pub!! Great selection of beers. Fantastic food. The beer garden is out of this world!! Without doubt the best I've ever seen. Well worth a visit even for a quick pint.

Wow what an amazing find this was Such an awesome place, food fabulous and beautifully presented dogs welcome they even have a treat station ! Everyone really welcoming and the whole place is spotless

Fantastic place with fantastic workers there, good service, 100% reccomend

The beer garden is beautiful and the outdoor seating area is well lit up and lovely

Fantastic place, lovely views outside in the garden. Friendly staff. Will be coming back!!

A great Sunday lunch with family good food and good ale

Brilliant pub with the best beer garden I've ever been in. Only downside is they weren't serving food. No lunch Monday to Thursday

Nice spot, but no food on a Wed night

This place is fantastic. Had our first visit today and it won't be our last. First class service and the young girl who looked after us was excellent. She was a new member to their team and did an amazing job. Well done to her.

We came at 12, so quiet. Food is top end and really reasonably price. Lovely place, and staff are super friendly, everyone should try this place out. Can't recommend enough. The outside area is large with alot of benchers.

Its quarter to six on Friday evening, the 28th July. The place is busy but not overly so. My wife was given her Chardonnay in a glass that had a dirty ring on the inside. She brought this to the attention of bar staff who continued to talk to other people. After another couple of dirty glasses she found a dirty dishcloth, wiped round another glass, poured the original wine into it and returned it to my wife. Understandably my wife came back to the table saying she was not going to drink her wine. Leaving now for another place which appreciates hygiene.

Sells Timothy Taylor's beer, enjoy it in the UK'S #1 beer garden.

Be prepared for the best beer garden in Yorkshire. Top marks

Nice village pub with great outside space and a huge tent.

Great pub with a fantastic outside space. Comfy chairs with cushions and covers under gazebos.Out in the sunshine lots of table benches. Also have pods and a undercover outside bar. Food was lovely although a bit slow in arriving however, it was an extremely busy sunny Saturday afternoon. Well worth a visit.

What a wonderful little pub. I use the word little, until you find out what's at the back. Massive outdoor beer garden on a suntrap terrace with fantastic views. There is also a second bar with sofas to relax on all undercover in the large canopy. You will also find an outdoor pizza kitchen serving excellent food. I have given this a 5* rating because it really does need visiting. You won't be disappointed

Lovely after walk visit to this pub

Unfortunately ordered a pizza and it was probably getting more heat from the sun. It was cold to the touch so we left it. We should have complained but the drink was flowing and to be fair it was packed and staff where doing their best. I will try it again and see what happens.

I had my 60th party on friday night, everyone loved it , the food was fantastic , so beautifully presented and all tasted so good , everybody raved about the potatoes and the pigs in blankets, ! The staff were amazing making sure everyone was happy, fed, and with drinks topped up with great service at the bar, and the great surprise of the brilliant singer just made it a perfect night ! Thanks again from Julie, family and friends x

Great food , good prices and dog friendly

Brilliant pub, nice friendly staff, lovely beer, and a great venue and location. Will try the pods next time.
