Hare & Hounds in Selby

Magnificent cosy and unsoiled Sam Smith’s pub. Temporarily closed from July 2024 as landlord has taken over the Bay Horse in Tadcaster.

I don't think this pub is open. Driven past 3 times in the evening & it's always shut.

Wasn't open when it said . We arrived at 6pm last Friday and was all locked up .

We went in for an evening meal. The food was delicious, fair portion and good price. The staff were friendly and welcoming we were very happy with our experience. Just to mention that it is a cash only premises.

We came here as a long time friend has started to run the pub an it's our first time we had drinks an food myself and the wife had pie and mash with veg and my mum had the 3 bean chill the food an service was great will definitely be going back an I will definitely recommend it to anyone.

Amazing friendly well recommended

Excellent service and food was pretty good too.

I stumbled across this little gem of a pub yesterday and what a great find! I went with my Mum, sister and cousins for a wee post Christmas catch up and we all absolutely loved it. Firstly we there were 2 super cosy real fires and we could have a conversation without having to shout to at each other. The food was fantastic and the booze seriously well priced. My mum had the macaroni cheese and she loved it....she's extremely fussy, so it really must have been good. I had the fish goujons and they were equally delicious. The staff were amazing, Jackie served us and was quite possibly the friendliest person I've been served by and Jon was the jolliest of bar men. I'll definitely be back and think we'll try a roast the next time. Most definitely looking forward to visiting this cute little pub again!

Cash only. So couldn't rate it. A shame as it was a lovely looking place

The food let it down a bit but the atmosphere and staff were lovely

Lovely food, beer and service. Mandy and Pauline great hosts. Fantastic country pub with a great beer garden for eating outside. Cash only but as long as you know not a problem.

The food was wonderful, home cooked and generous portions!! The chef and waiting staff are really friendly and treat you like family 😊

Well kept Sam Smiths ales and lagers. Food menu available.

Good home cooked food and a nice old school pub it's cash only which is no problem for me cash rules

Called for the first time for Sunday Roast and wasn't let down one little bit, roast beef had by both and njoyed it all, extra gravy asked for and given. Many thanx we will be back

A very nice clean pub and a nice friendly welcome. We booked a table and enjoyed a delicious meal. Menu was adequate. Certainly would recommend Hare & Hounds. The only issue is the pub only takes cash! Not ideal, but we managed. Sam Smiths need to change that and be in the 21st century like the majority of pub restaurants.

Very clean and welcoming pub great managers

Yummy pint of Sam Smiths after an afternoon stroll from Tadcaster, well worth a visit! Proper Sammy's welcome and expert service, cheers!

Nice food and has always had an excellent beer garden.

We haven't been able to get together as a group for the last two years and so we're delighted to have had our first reunion over Sunday lunch at the Hare & Hounds in Stutton. Excellent choice it was too - we were made very welcome by all the bar and kitchen team and enjoyed excellent range of Pork, Turkey and Beef roasts all washed down with traditional Sam Smiths beers. Who knew that three hours could pass so convivially? Many thanks to everyone concerned and we look forward to meeting up again in summer when hopefully we will be able to use the delightful gardens.

Great Sam Smith's pub with lots of charm and character. Food was good & the beer spot on. Great for a visit if doing a walk from Tadcaster.

Enjoyable Sunday lunch. Excellent beer.

Called in this pub after doing a local walk from an old pub walks book. A very old stone building. Really authentic, exposed stone interior, open fires and good quality old style furniture and nice wood paneling on bar. Very tidy inside. Had lunch which was standard pub grub but very nice, very hot, nicely presented and reasonably priced. I had the gammon and when I asked for mustard they gave me colmans - what a great result, the number of pubs that provide silly little packets of heinze is disappointing, well done hare and hounds as colmans makes the meal for me. Also a Sam smiths pub. Worth a visit and I would return if in the area.

Lovely country pub, visited on a Monday evening so fairly quiet but a warm welcome from the landlord considering we were not local. Excellent local bitter and very good food. A hidden gem!

We been today for dinner all 4 dinners was spot on . Went for mums birthday.

Trying to find a pub that was open today, after doing the excellent Towton Battlefield Walk was turning into a right old game. We came by this pub by accident, and what a find. A lovely old place, with incredibly friendly staff and a really warm welcome. Steak and Ale pie for me, and my Sister had Chicken and Leek, it was fab, with lovely veg and chips. Couldn't fault it at all. I only had a soft drink as I was driving, but the bar looked to have some decent beers and spirits on show. Just one thing to remember about visiting here. Sam Smiths pubs only take cash, and mobile phone use is strictly banned, hence no photos. The pub also has a very large beer garden, and I can imagine the place does really well in the summer months. Well worth a visit, and once again, so glad we found it on an otherwise no pub Monday. It deserves to do well.

Sunday lunch was delicious. Roast beef and yorkshire pudding was amazing! Lovely country pub with a large beer garden. Definitely recommended a visit if in the area. Landlords are very welcoming. 5 stars!

It's ok. Small selection of local beers only and if you want wine it's "red, white or rose". Also only cash only. Shame because the garden and surrounds are lovely

Great food. Staff really good. Overall a great expierience.

This is not the kind of place you just stumble on. Only found it because of Google maps. This is a Samuel smiths pub, so remember Cash only. Nice and warm welcome from both the landlord and the chef. The menu was a classic pub menu and not badly priced. I had the liver and onions partner had hunters chicken. These were nothing out of the ordinary typical large corporate plated meals.

Lovely fish and chips to go with excellent beer in s large beer garden.

Great atmosphere and beautiful beer garden.

Lovely hot food...... Noticed a few people walked away, as pub doesn't accept cards... Cash only.

First time there was welcomed thought we'd try the food and was not disappointed so we have decided to go back again

Absolute delight of a pub. Managers Pauline and John are so friendly. The food is deelish. Macaroni is my fave and does not disappoint. Stayed in Stutton and this pub is 2 mins walk. Beer Garden in pub is massive and a total sun trap. Would definitely recommend this place

Beautiful Sunday lunch staff very helpful and friendly very nice landlord and landlady

Good beer excellent hosts a very warm welcome

Real old style pub. Lovely big garden to the rear that is soaked in sunshine all afternoon.

Lovely pub and friendly landlord and landlady. Menu has a lot of choices and look very tasty. A very nice experience.

I cant rate this place on food this time as we only went for a drink outside. But there was plenty of outdoor seating and parking. There isn't any heaters but we managed with jackets. The managers were absolutely lovely and very friendly. They are us feel very welcome.

Open again. Sam's in the sunshine

Seemed to be closed at 8.30pm on a Tuesday evening?

Really like this pub the food used to be top drawer years ago, went down hill for a while, called in recently a lot better, always good Sam smiths ale.

What a gem !!!! Great food & traditional menu , real ales. real open fires & welcoming friendly staff pub has a great cosy atmosphere. Def Will be returning again

Called in for Sunday lunch, great atmosphere warm & cosy with real fires , real ales & traditional roast dinner all served by very nice friendly welcoming staff, was busy but served quickly & food came in acceptable time the bill was very reasonable too !!!! Will be returning here again

This is a great pub. The food is varied and reasonably priced. Lots of things to choose from. The beer is nice and fresh. The staff are lovely. The drink is cheap. It has a massive beer garden. You have a wide variety of drink to choose from. On Sunday there is a pub quiz. They have a break in the middle where you can get a snack and drink. It is a really lively and fun pub.

Love this hidden gem,great food, lovely staff,open fires,real ales !!

Popped in for lunch with family. We were seated quickly and a drinks order was taken. The food order was taken promptly each of us ordering a different thing. A veggie pie, a steak & ale pie, a steak & kidney pie, gammon and a chilli con carne. All five were piping hot when served and the plates were cleared.. The service was good and the staff friendly plus the prices are very reasonable.

At last somebody as taken over this pub with some idea what a change great food and beer. Staff are very helpful menu is fine with all local products Worth the ride out and once you have found it, price is fine as well for the food you are served worth a vist

Great Pub Great People Great Staff

We wanted a reasonable lunch in a country pub and that's exactly what we got here in the lovely village of Stutton. There was a reasonable, accessible car park and being a Sam Smith's pub there was an excellent range of beers and a welcome lack of background music. The range of food was limited, but what they do they do very well indeed. Our order was brought very promptly by the cheery barman. I had liver and onions in a very rich gravy and thoroughly enjoyed it. The onions were just a little too firm but I recognise this is a personal preference and not a criticism of the cooking. Prices were very reasonable indeed, typical of Sam Smith's philosophy of providing excellent quality and value.

Had a very good early tea.very good value.A very large helping.frech food and service was excellent would go back again.

Came here for tea last night 23/05 and cant fault it. Food was loverly and staff didnt hound us in terms of asking if everything was ok. Well worth a visit

We took our grandsons for lunch last week. My husband ordered the fish n chips, I had the gammon, my oldest grandson had the adults burger, and the youngest kiddies fish n chips, everything was cooked to perfection 4 clean plates, apparently the best burger my grandson has ever had. I highly recommend you to go and try Kevin's lovely cooking.

Hare and Hounds is a great pub, excellent food, excellent beer and very friendly land lord and staff, can't recommend this Hare and Hounds highly enough.

all microwaved food! you could hear all the microwaves going. Really dissapointed after travelling out for the day to find this, I endded up walking out as walking in the garden as I could hear tthe microwaves beeping.
