Hare & Hounds Inn in Tameside

A lovely visit again! Georgia was fantastic with our questions regarding allergies and for checking everything. Thank you

Went for family Sunday lunch. Excellent choice. Served by Nicole who was helpful and friendly. Service with a smile.

Was looked after by Helen and Jaden who did a fantastic job of looking after us even with our rambunctious toddler. The atmosphere was very quaint and pleasant and the place was kept very clean and well decorated. It looks like the staff work hard to keep the place clean and tidy and the owners invest a decent amount in keeping it fresh and up to date. The food however for us as vegans has gone downhill massively. My missus had a vegetable soup which tasted like heinz tinned soup or a tub you get from a supermarket. I had the vegan burger and the patty was like the compressed vegatable ones you used to have as your only option in places pre late 2010's vegan boom. after the big vegan boom of the late 2010's this place at certain points had a selection of faux meats, they had vegan fish and chips for a while, allways had a decent burger made with saitan or beyond meat etc. They had multiple decent vegan options and now they have none to the more traditional pub goers tastes. If you are a healthy sort and you want grilled courgette and plantain for £17.50 then this is your place but if your vegan and you want a pint and a burger best look elsewhere unless you are here for the lovely setting and views. The food was cooked , prepared and presented very well so the chefs did a good job, the problem is the menu itself or whoever is in charge of designing the menu.

Great food, great service and atmosphere. Will visit again and again. Thanks Mike and Shannon

Lovely and hoc Friday lunch. Nice and quiet so a great seat overlooking the Irwell Valley. Service was friendly and food tasty winter fare. Have to love a proper pie and not just a pastry top!

We went for some lunch, Food was loverly and came fast. All of the staff was loverly and ensured we were okay. Definitely recommend

Sadie and Nicole very hospitable. Nicole on her 3rd shift big up! Very friendly!

We had a lovely lunchtime visit. The staff were so welcoming and nice. The food arrived quickly and was very tasty. A little more cheese in the toastie would have been good. I ordered the three scoops of ice cream for dessert which was delicious but there was only one full scoop, the other two were only half scoops. But overall it was an excellent lunch and we enjoyed it immensely....and what a fabulous view. We sat inside but there was plenty of seating outside.

Less than 1 star on VERY VERY disappointing from start to finish waited for drinks 20 mins for dinner my chicken was well over cooked and we had 1 very small parsnip very little veg we also waited over 30 mins for pudding we had to cancel the pudding in the end and to be told it doesn’t happen a lot but the staff have been on befor 7am and this was 7pm it’s not the customers fault there working such long hours I expect if I’m paying high prices good service and food I don’t get either tonight not good at all

Delicious food, we were looked after by Owen (one his 2nd shift) and Helen who did an excellent job on a busy night making sure we had everything we needed and timely service

5/5 for the spectacular views; 1/5 for the quality of brews. A place where the most interesting beer is Peroni :( Big chains shouldn't be allowed such nice places 😭

Georgina and Owen were great hosts. Perfectly poured Guinness and excellent service!

Have been here many times and always loved the experience especially if Ella serves us ! We’re known as the ‘Funny Family’ ( hopefully as we’re always laughing ). Our most recent visit was Sunday 13th October. We were 4 people. Celebrating mine and my son’s birthday. Food was exceptional as usual. The service was superb (thank you Ella) wish we knew what days she worked as we want to book again soon. It’s a really warm and welcoming atmosphere and well done to all concerned. See you soon. The. Funny Family 🤞

Nice place to stop in for some breakfast and drinks after a morning walk around Werneth Low. We were served by Helen and Reece, who were both lovely. The food was also really good and the views of Manchester alone are worth the visit.

Always a lovely atmosphere with great food - today’s meal was a particular highlight with our waitress Brooke. She was attentive, and truly a delight! Always checked in that we had what we needed, and was lovely to chat to - thank you Brooke! ☺️

We have been several times and always enjoyed the food, today the food was great, but our Waitress, Brooke made the experience even more enjoyable, she is an absolute credit to the pub, she was very friendly, chatty and made sure we had anything we needed. Well done Brooke

Great location with amazing views over Manchester. Cozy pub with a country feel, nice atmosphere and decent traditional pub food. Book a table in advance as sometimes there can be a wait.

Lovely, comfortable friendly pub/restaurant and menu offers excellent value and variety. This has brought us back repeatedly over last year. Enjoyed our lunch prepared by Cal and excellent service from Diane and colleagues. Fabulous setting and views

Terrible food & awful service. Never again !

We had an amazing lunch on Monday, food was good but the service like always is amazing the ladies cannot do anymore. Hela, Ella and Stacey are wonderful and could not ask for anymore of them 11 out of 10 for service.

Very Nice food will be going again soon

We had a lovely meal for my daughter’s birthday. We were looked after by Georgia, who could not have done more - she was so kind and helpful.

lovely place with the best view service was brilliant by talia and the chef Adam cooks brilliant food

Excellent service, as per usual. Staff have a sense of humour, which always helps. Ella and Owen served us - nothing was too much trouble, despite having slow readers in our group. The food was excellent and substantial - Steak and Ale Pie and Mixed Grill were both cooked and presented well. Shout out to the chef Reece - good work buddy. Only glitch was when I didn't get a spoon with my soup! I tried to eat it with my knife and fork - to no avail. Owen came to the rescue.

Visited for a lunch time meal and to attempt to book a table for 10 or11 adults and one 2 year old—1pm on a Thursday in November to celebrate a special birthday. The meal was mediocre and staff attitude left a lot to be desired. I have visited this pub many times over the last 54 years often with friends and family to celebrate special events. I was disgusted to be told they would not accept a booking for more than 10 people.- hard to believe when the hospitality industry is supposed to be suffering a decline in footfall. Even though I spoke to someone supposed to be a manager without success. Around 1pm the pub at this time of year is never very busy and they are prepared to have staff doing nothing whilst turning down customers that would generate between£400/500 of business. BEWARE IF YOU WANT TO ARRANGE A SPECIAL EVENT—-my advice is spend your money elsewhere

October 2024. We booked in for Sunday dinner, family of four plus a nervous dog. One of our party has some food intolerances who brought her own onion and garlic free gravy, and another is a fussy non-meat eater. We had a friendly welcome as usual, and we had managed to book our favourite table with a view. The roast potatoes on the menu were stated as being roasted in garlic and rosemary but Hannah spoke to the chef, Owen, and we were offered mash, boiled potatoes or plain roast potatoes, while my wife had a meat free Sunday roast with veggie gravy. Service was excellent, food was great, ambience was lovely and the views are great - and the staff went out of their way to accommodate our special requests. And the dog was very happy with the doggy sausages!

Lovely meal at the Hair & Hounds, thanks to great food from chef Owen & great service from Hannah. Thanks for being so accommodating! 😁

The food was massively overpriced £20 fpr a mediocre Sunday dinner, the beer was overpriced £6.49 a pint. The service was lacklustre, and the chairs glide around tge dining room as if on castors. Not worth the money spent.

We have enjoyed a lovely family lunch today, due to a birthday, at the Hare and Hounds. There was a good atmosphere and the food was delicious. It is in an area that we haven't visited before, with a spectacular view of Manchester. We will definitely visit again

Fabulous service from Helen and Brooke on my visit on Wednesday evening. The pub was cosy and welcoming and the food delicious! Will definitely return soon.

Diane was my server and was a superstar, very helpfull and friendly. Food was 10/10 aswell will defo return. Cracking view to top it off.....

Nice food attentive staff and reasonable prices

service was so slow and food/menu used to be so much better, very limited and boring now

What an amazing spot with amazing views - impressive even on a misty day. I didn’t eat but saw huge Sunday roast dinners being enjoyed.

The view is nice up here but the food was very basic and every vegetable was undercooked my little niece was also sick later that evening from her brocoli macaroni the macaroni was hard and there was just a lump of raw broccoli in the middle of it unfortunately after giving this place yet another chance after changing hands the food let's it down yet again the staff were nice but that was about it

Been their for coffee many times… one of the best location to view whole Manchester

Service was excellent and food was excellent

Unfortunately we were seated next to a noisy couple who were playing things on their phone very loud but other than that it was lovely. The highlight was the sunset as we left the pub, stunning. Thank you to Georgia & Reece for looking after us.

The gravy was too thick, the veg was greasy and the beef was in a slab. Has better.

Staff were fantastic. Food was poor and very fatty. (Roast beef)

1.) View ✅ 2.) Good food ✅ 3.) Atmosphere ✅ 4.) Stuff for little kids ✅ 5.) J2os ✅ I rest my case Ps: outside areas are kinda busy in summer so I'd get there quick if you were eyeing it up. Ps x2: Anyone who likes plane spotting would love this place, you get great views no matter where you are (so long as you are outside)

Great food and atmosphere. It's the perfect place for a summer evening meal when you can see a Manchester view.

Diane waa absolutely amazing, lovely friendly lady, that loves cheese 🧀 like myself. Highly recommend the cheese toastie and it was yummy. Thank you Reece (Chef) We don't live this side of Manchester but enjoy a ride out especially to visit 😉❤️

We visited the Hare & Hounds for lunch on 11 September and were really impressed with both the extensive menu and the quality of the food. The staff were also very pleasant and efficient. We will definitely be returning.

Talia & Hannah looked after us very well, food was delicious!

Had vegan starter delicious salad needed a dressing on it

Great atmosphere. Very good food

Paige looked after us during our meal and was nothing but attentive and friendly. Left us in peace when needed but was proactive in attending to us when needed. Adam cooked the food to perfection, massive compliments to the chef Also a mention for the very warm welcome received upon arrival and the young lady that seated us. 2nd visit already booked in Thanks all for a very enjoyable evening 😊

Had lunch today with my daughter food delicious will definitely be back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I am celiac it was fantastic and the servers were very understanding and lovely, Paige was amazing!

Really enjoyed the meal this evening. The cottage pie croquettes were gorgeous. Thank you to our server Paige for looking after us so well. There was limited choice as it was late on a Sunday evening and there’s a limited menu on a Sunday but the food we had was delicious.

Was lovely great food, lovely staff

Loved my meal out for my birthday amazing food great service staff polite friendly warm atmosphere great views when sat outside on sunny day

Quick drink, went in after a ride upto werneth lowe, nice pub with a nice view 👍🏽

Just to commend Paige who served us. The best any waitress could be. Cheerful, Friendly, attentive, on the ball.

Great country pub for both food and drink. They'd run out of beef by 1345 on the Sunday we visited which was a bit disappointing but the food we did have was excellent. Great service from Ella who was very attentive to our requirements.

Dreadful meal. This was the second time i have been for a meal since the refurbishment. I will not be going again. The food was lukewarm and I would say was not freshly cooked. Like a fast food restaurant but expensive. It's a shame as the surroundings are lovely.. The server began by telling us all the things not available which included gardrn peas!

Service was amazing Sadie couldn’t do enough for us all made our evening lovely.

Sadie was great. I remember Sadie’s first night, she is still the lovely bubbly unassuming person she was then. Nothing is too much trouble. The food was tasty, thanks Ste. Keep it up!

Food and service was great and felt extremely welcome by the waiter Sadie

Sadie and Rhian we great! Food was good.

Served by Rhian. She did great.

Great location and food is decent.

We went for food and drinks and can not fault the place from arrival to leaving. The staff are all very nice,polite and very professional. The food was gorgeous, plenty of it. The price was not overly expensive, but you get what you pay for, and it was worth it. The surrounding area is stunning. The views are amazing.

The food was outstanding also service . Ella was professional. And the food was beautiful chef Cal

Lovely food, completely renovated and despite previous bad reviews, would highly recommend. Waitress Ella and Chef Cal couldn't have done more.

Great food, lovely atmosphere, staff are friendly and helpful, especially Matt front of house and Amy in the kitchen. Will definitely be back again.

Food was good not particularly cheap for pub food though.

It was a lovely day so we sat outside. Great atmosphere. Lots of doggies, an added bonus!

Great out of town pub with great views

Delicious food by chef Reece and wonderful service from Diane, she made our visit even more lovely!

Lovely experience with my boyfriend, his mum and his neice 🥰

Changed menu never coming back. You made me ruin my dad's birthday made him 😭 change the menu back to old then we might make a return.

meat was nice and hot veg served cold on side plate

Absolutely amazing food, service and all round atmosphere. Lacey was very friendly and helpful whilst serving us and made sure we were satisfied, very attentive young lady. Adam the chef cooked our steaks as specified to perfection. We would highly recommend and will definitely be visiting again. Loved the music that was playing too.

Had a lovely meal here for my sons birthday, Brooke was a great host and so friendly thank you for making it extra special for us.

The location is amazing. The staff are very lovely. The view overlooking Manchester is breathtaking

The views from this pub are wonderful. They have an outside bar too! Massive beer garden.

Our family absolutely love this place. Great food,beautiful views and relaxing atmosphere. And its also dog friendly.

Amazing beer garden Good selection of beers but London prices £6.60 for beers is quiet steep

Georgia and the staff were absolutely fantastic! lovely meal and will be returning :)

Great food in a comfortable pub with a really good atmosphere. We were served by Georgia who did an excellent job. Would highly recommend this pub.

Beautiful location however food was horrible. Honestly I have no idea why they ask how would you like your steak to be done if it's gonna be well done anyway... Great place for drinks only and to enjoy the food.

Lovely atmosphere fabulous outside now. There's an outside bar amazing on a sunny clear day .

Stopped off for a drink...friendly staff and a good chilled atmosphere :)

Talia and Paige were absolutely fantastic. Lovely service, couldn’t do more!

Really lovely & dog friendly pub. Me and my partner visited for some food. First time my partner had been and really enjoyed the food. Friendly staff also. Would definitely recommend

Great pub and restaurant Good service from friendly staff And lovely food.

We came for dinner and everything was amazing, i had the seabass and my boyfriend had the beef burger. We shared the chicken to start and a chocolate fondant for dessert. The service from paige and hannah was great, they were so lovely and helpful. A wonderful evening meal.

Expensive and lots of people smoking weed in its extensive outside seating and carpark area

Stunning location and view of Manchester. Amazing food and service. We had Sunday dinners - lamb, pork, sirloin steak. All well cooked and plenty of sides and amazing complimentary beer and butter. Ella served us who was brilliant and went above and beyond. Head chef was Owen. Food was amazing (bring back the lamb shanks!!)

I'll leave my original posted review for comparison. Recently had a marvelous meal for three plus dog! Been back again since too and up to same standard. I'm happy to say the review below must have been about a different Chef as it bears no comparison to present high standard. ...proud to make Hare & Hounds my "go to" places s I'd originally intended! =old review= I'd love to leave a rave review, I really would as I'd like to frequent this establishment regularly. Its a great pub and lovely atmosphere. Sadly the food this time let it down... We popped in on a late Sunday afternoon for a dinner with the dog. We look out for dog friendly pubs and this one is right up there. We chose the three meat roast dinner. There was a lovely showpiece of pork crackling but the meats were cool and tough. The veg so so, no mash, tired roasties, rather herbal gravy, and a Yorkshire pudding so soggy it was better eaten with a desert spoon. Desert took some doing as we had to prompt for a menu twice despite the place being reasonably quiet (<30% capacity). Bakewell tart and custard performed well and my cheesecake was delicious but came embellished with plantlife that served no purpose. Fifty odd quid for a Sunday lunch for two (and some chicken for the dog). Not bad but disappointingly I won't rush back. Which like I say is sad as I really like the place.

Amazing food and the views are stunning... Burgers well worth it .

Great place to eat, drink and sit outside. Good views. Bar inside and out! Don't miss out!

Pan fried chicken was absolutely divine. Also had the salted caramel sundae which was well worth it. The atmosphere here is unrivalled and the service fantastic - special thank you to Hannah, Diane and chef Owen. Sitting in the outdoor garden with the music was a lovely experience on a sunny Saturday afternoon with friends. I'll definitely be coming back again and soon. Hare and Hounds is well worth stopping in when passing by and the view of the area from the garden is gorgeous. I'm definitely coming out to here more often in future. Can't recommend it enough.

We had the pleasure of being served by Brooke, what a cheerful, friendly and helpful member of your team. Food was lovely and pub was nice and airy given it was an incredibly hot evening.

Excellent pub, service by Georgia and Joe was exquisite, really enjoyed the meal, 100% would come again!

Food was actually very good but the ‘crouton’ was inedible - chef said that was just the way it is - implied I’d never eaten one before. Someone is going to break a tooth! I dare him to eat one. Excepting the above - the cottage pie croquettes were flavor bombs. The veggie humus dish was enjoyable and the sausage and mash spot on.

Too busy for us to eat there so drinks only great views outside.

Lovely atmosphere, fantastic food, unrivalled view of greater Manchester. My kids love playing in the fenced off grassy areas next to the patio.
