We came on Sunday to celebrate our daughters 30th birthday and of course to try the new menu. Everything from start to finish was absolutely outstanding. The staff were amazing, the food was impeccable and very impressive. A young lady named Brooke served us pretty much from start to finish and she made it all so lovely. we can’t wait to come back and try out their Christmas menu

Went for Sunday lunch with my partner and her son. We telephoned to book the night before but on arrival they couldn't find our booking but they found us a table anyway :) My partner had the Ham and we both had Roast Beef. Food well cooked and piping hot with good portions, asked for some extra gravy and it came immediately. My partner and her son both had puddings which were also very good. Staff were excellent and I'd recommend the experience to anyone looking for a good pub Sunday lunch.

We went here a few weeks ago and the food was ok, decided to give it another go today and sorely disappointed. Fish was dry and the gourmet chips were frozen rubbish, husband had the burger said it was pretty awful and couldn’t finish it . We didn’t bother ordering dessert as we wanted to leave as it was freezing in there . Sort out the quality of your frozen food and Chuck a few more logs on the fire !

Quite a few of my reviews give 5 stars, because it is rare I don't visit a location without some investigation, but the Hare and Hounds, Luzley is one I didn't, it was picked by my daughter for a family lunch for her , my granddaughter, my wife and me. Was a breeze to find it but it is out of the way. Walking through the door is 3xactly what you expect from a rural country Inn. Lots of wood, cosy, wood fire. The menu has some adventurous items on it, I'm definitely going to have the chicken livers in sherry next time as my brief stolen taste of my wife's confirmed their visual scrumminess with taste. 8 year old grandaughter opted to have the tiger prawn main coursework salad and fries and she wolfed it down, but as you can expect it did taker her the time we had our starters and mains. My mixed grill was a huge portion and I never thought I would get near finishing it, I did but only because it was so tasty. Wife and daughter had the supreme of chicken and neither could clear their plate despite them raving over it. No way Jose could we have attempted deserts. Staff were super attentive but not uncomftably so and more than willing to enter a bit of banter,full marks to them. Two very minor concerns, well one concern and one request. Glad we booked, but room is a premium. Some tables, not all looked quote close together. There needs to be a tip option on paying with a card, yes I know service is included, but when I get exceptional service, not just doing their job service I like to add a cherry on top. Will definitely return here next time I am that way out.

Very late and Surprise 40th birthday celebrations, due to serious unforseen change in circumstances. This place is seriously such a little gold gem! It's hidden away like a true little fairy kingdom, but my god! What an exceptional little place it is! The environment is a perfect little haven set in astonishing natural countryside surroundings! I promise if its natural beautiful scenery you're craving look no further! The staff are so welcoming and friendly! True little friendly farmer folk who cannot do enough to make you feel welcome!.... and then there's the food!!! I honestly think that I have not EVER eaten a lamb Henry like it! Just simply perfectly delicious! Thank-you so much for making my 40th birthday so memorable! 💗

Absolutely shocking food I ordered the Sunday roast burnt Yorkshire pudding anaemic roast potatoes you couldn’t even call them roasted watery overcooked veg my Nan gets served better than this at the nursing home DON’T dare complain though as you will be confronted by the aggressive owners AVOID AT ALL COSTS

Table booked for 4.30pm. Still sat waiting at 5.30 to take our order. Eventually at 5.45 we got our starter. Main course at 6.15. Sunday roast was terrible. The veg was very watery and overcooked. The Yorkshire pudding burnt and the roast potatoes tasted like they'd been warmed up from the day before and were pale and inedible. My mother in law had cheese and onion pie and that was also burnt. We were all so disappointed as we were celebrating my grandaughters birthday and it was just a let down. The bill came and we had been overcharged which when reported got corrected. It was almost like we'd been served warmed up leftovers and we felt robbed.

Not been here for some time, used to be great food and service, but things have changed a lot. No wine list and server had no idea of what wines or how much they were, after disappearing for a while, came back and said, all by glass and told price. After choosing wine, were then told that that one was only sold by the bottle, so had to do it all again. I ordered the mixed grill and was not asked how I would like the steak. Server came back 15 mins later to ask. Very disappointed with the quality of the meat, gammon dry and overcooked, the rest very average but the steak was a rubber lump almost raw inside (asked for medium/well done) My brother who likes it rare could not even eat it as was too tough. The beef tomato balsamic was just half a salad tomato on a bed of rocket? My brothers lamb was standard boil in bag catering fair. Told server about steak, and just said sorry about that. On reflection would have had better meal from Witherspoons. Would not recommend and will not be going again

As a celebration for my 70th birthday I took a party of ten for dinner. The meal was very poor. The service was extremely slow, incorrect starters, overcooked vegetables and pie. The Yorkshire puddings were burnt black and inedible. Only one ale on the pumps. My eight year old granddaughter said “I don’t want to come here again” On reflection we should have sent the meals back. It is a shame because the pub is attractive and the young staff were very friendly. Definitely not recommended!

This is a really nice pub, we loved it! Food was lovely and home made, with generous portions. Service was attentive, friendly and polite. Food took a good 30 minutes to arrive but we prefer this to places that try and rush you out, and it was freshly made. Ambience was nice with pleasant background music - had an upmarket feel we thought. We will definitely be back and soon!

Lovely cosy pub, lovely staff, and lovely food. Excellent choice of beer. We were welcomed into the pub by staff who seated us next to a warm log fire. The food was amazing, my girlfriend was extremely pleased with her chicken ceasar salad, which surprisingly had a copious amount of dressing and a large piece of chicken breast. My steak was cooked to perfection. I left the pub feeling full, happy and ready for a nap. We wish we had cash at the time to tip the waitresses, however, we forgot this. We will definitely be returning (this time with cash). Thank you :)

Sunday lunch required for 3 of us. Great table near the fire, good service and friendly staff. 2 starters, 3 beef Sunday lunches, 2 puds and a Gaelic coffee, 2 beers,3 lemonades 90 quid. Sunday lunch portion was deceptively huge, beef fell apart, 3 veg, good Yorkshire pud with gravy. The roast potatoes could have been crispier but were ok. Overall, great place, great food, good staff.

We have just had a very disappointing meal at this pub! I was really looking forward to my fish & chips, however the fish was dry & the chips were hit & miss! I told the waitress, I wasnt happy and stated the above, when she asked if the food was ok, she said she would tell the chef and basically that was it! Unfortunately we won't be returning & that's a shame because it's a lovely pub! Sometimes all it takes is a little good will gesture, to smooth things over, perhaps even an apology!

Such a shame as I was so looking forward to my first visit here. After a long afternoon walk we decided to call in here for a few drinks and a bite to eat, but was put off literally within minutes of entering the building. Service and attitude extremely poor. Needless to say we left without ordering anything and will never return. Thankfully another pub which was just a short walk away is where we ended up with a friendly atmosphere and great service.

Visited with 7 friends which we have done approx every 2 months for the past year or so. Believed early bird menus was until 7pm so got there at 6.15pm. All of us sat down with our drinks. Waitress approached just after 6.30pm and said early bird finished at 6.30pm. Questioned this and informed it had been done recently but we had not been informed when booking. Website shows 6.45 pm so we were inside the time. Reluctantly gave us the early bird menu but stated it would only be for this one time. Not the best way to treat regular visitors.

Well we’re not disappointed, all three courses were of restaurant quality and the staff couldn’t do enough for us and the atmosphere of the pub is great with its low ceilings and little snugs to sit in it has a lovely warm feel about the place, hence we’ve been back twice already.

I took my daughter and 9yr old granddaughter to show them where my grandad lived when I was small on Luzley Lane. We then called into the Hare and Hounds for a late lunch. The food was to die for and the fish was so fresh yiu would gave thought the chef had just caught it. My daughter was so impressed she phoned her partner to tell him if a hidden gem she had found. My granddaughter thought she was in heaven and on holiday she said she felt like an adult as she could order a prawn cocktail from the children's menu . I must say in my opinion this is the best place to eat in the whole of Tameside and will be back soon, very soon.

Ate here as a family, 5 adults and 3 children, following our Granddaughters first communion, we had not booked, in fact we had to briefly wait for them to open on a Saturday afternoon. Atmosphere got better and better as more people arrived and it was soon packed, a sure sign that they are doing something right. Eight clean plates says it all. Good food, good service and reasonably priced. We will return next time we visit our Son's.

However we had a query on the bill and can honestly say I have never been spoken to so rudely before - the waitress actually said I don’t know why you don’t get it - even though a customer before has queried exactly the same thing - her attitude and customer service was appalling, I shall never return to this establishment, the person in question was Shauna or Shona not sure how it’s spelt and can I add I have never commented on trip advisor before mainly because I have never been treated like that before!

Lovely country pub a mile outside Ashton in Luzely. You may need a satnav to find it as the pub is off the beaten track. We dropped in for a lunchtime snack. The food was very good. We had prawn sandwiches and a beef baguette. The portions of chips/french fries are huge and you only need one bowl to serve 3 people. Coffee was excellent. Just to mention that their website is not working at the moment. So you do need to book by phone.

Having had two Sunday lunches here a few months ago, that were most enjoyable we thought we would try again. On our previous visits the meat was delicious as was the rest of the food. We were disappointed to get the processed type of meat on this visit and there was hardly any taste to it. I asked if I could have a little extra gravy and was surprised to see I was charged £1.50 for this, I have never been charged anywhere for a small amount of extra gravy. Please bring back the home cooked meats especially the pork. We will wait to see if this happens.

I visited with my parents and daughter for a midweek light lunch. My daughter asked the waitress if she could remove the meat items from one of the sandwiches as she is a vegetarian. The waitress then suggested a grilled cheese sandwich which my daughter was happy with. My daughter then asked if it would be served with chips and salad like the other sandwiches that we had ordered. The waitress confirmed that it would indeed come with salad and chips. When the sandwiches turned up my daughter's plate didn't have any chips. We then politely mentioned to the waitress that my daughter's meal was missing the chips. The waitress dissapeared and quite quickly returned with a bowl of chips. On paying the bill I noticed that there was a £3.75 charge for an additional bowl of chips. I contested this amount and the response that I received was indeed UTTERLY DISGUSTING. I then insisted on speaking to the owner and was only able to do so by telephone. The owner wasn't interested in anything that I had to say and told me that whatever the manager had told me would stand final.

Second time here but disappointed this time, the veg was cold on all of the dinners when they were served, we did tell the waitress when asked if everything was ok with the meals but as we had eaten half of it by then we did not send them back, the manager offered to knock £2 off the £150 bill as a gesture of goodwill! Increased it to £5 on complaining. Not really acceptable and was told that they cater for 200 people on a Sunday and try their best!! Serving hot food shouldn’t be too hard in an organised kitchen?? The service was slow on arrival, ordered deserts and then had to fetch the spoons ourselves as the waitress hadn’t brought any after ordering. Definitely won’t be going again. The manager needs a lesson in customer service and handling complaints!!

After visiting here a few times in the past I thought I would book a family meal here. Some of the family arrived first and were shown to the table. The menu had chicken pie on, which we ordered. It arrived as chicken and mushroom pie to which we had to send back due to one family member having a mushroom allergy, and another disliking mushrooms. After informing the waitress she was extremely rude, didn't want to change it and told us we still had to pay for it. I explained that if it had mentioned mushrooms on the menu we wouldn't have ordered it. When the bill arrived the pies + the replacement meals were on the bill. The "manager" was extremely rude, argumentative, did not apologise for their error and refused to take it off the bill. We were told that as some of the family were 'late' they didn't have the specials explained which mentioned the mushrooms. The pie was on the main menu, not the specials and this attitude from the waitress accusing us of being late was disgusting. Regardless of someone being a few minutes late a good restaurant will explain all specials. After speaking to the early arrived family there was no mention of specials and this was a lie. A small correctable mistake turned into an awful experience for the family and caused unnecessary stress to my pregnant wife. They eventually agreed to take the pies off the bill and we paid the rest. On reflection I wish we hadn't paid anything and should have just left after the disgusting way we were spoken to. We would not return here if you paid us, worst restaurant experience I have ever encountered

A pub in a nice country location, nice dining room and areas to sit with a drink. Good for lunch or dinner and staff helpful and friendly. On this occasion I had cheese and onion pie and the pastry was undercooked, usually we are happy with the food, this was a bit off putting. Would recommend however.

The atmosphere is always nice and cosy here, the food is phenomenal and the staff are friendly. I've had the fillet steak before which was cooked to perfection and a few things off the bar menus, all very tasty and well made. It's also a beautiful setting, go here if you can!

Visited today for Sunday lunch which was fantastic as usual, but ... the service was very poor !! Seen it much busier so not sure what was going on. No apology from the staff for the wait for the table (which was booked) or the lengthy wait for our lunch ... I just feel that the staff could be friendlier and could do with upping their game .... Have to say that there are no complaints regarding the food though !!

Friendly gastro pub . Staff helpful.Food mostly good although early dinner menu could do with updating. Prices fair although main menu quite expensive..

Our favourite local for grub and a decent pint. Nice atmosphere and a couple of lovely fires in the winter. The live music every couple of weekends is also pretty good.

Ate here on several occasions and think that it could be so much better.It is a good location but just get the impression that the place thinks it is very good when I consider it to be overpriced and average

Myself and my girlfriend have been here a fair few times and never had a bad experience! The food is always very good, the menu is constantly being changed and updated. The Mirror Lake wine is delicious. We really wish they would start doing a sticky toffee pudding as it will only be stunning! Haha

Welcomed well and seated quickly for our lunch. A fairly limited lunch menu, we were told that deliveries for the turkey and chicken options were awaited. Pretty poor on Good Friday with the Easter weekend starting. Our choices were satisfactory but not outstanding.

Fast, friendly and excellent food. We had : Bruschetta, Goats Cheese tart, the meat lasagne, and chicken supreme all excellent. Way above standard for the average pub. Only knocked off one point from being excellent because the desert choice was severely limited: only three things available one of which was ice cream. *Sad face*

My boyfriend brought me here on a date night, we've been a couple of times and never been disappointed. We really enjoyed the food and the staff were polite and friendly. Would recommend to go!

Can't fault the place the food was great and the staff were very attentive. If I was to comment on one thing it was just that we were seated on our own, out of the way. Other than that...thumbs up from me!

We recently visited the hare and hounds for the first time. We'd been meaning visit for a long time but never got round to going. There wasn't a great choice and I struggled to find something I was in the mood for. I ended up having the mixed grill which was ok. Some of the meats were a bit too well done which I didn't like. The staff were friendly enough and we were seated straight away.

Tried to ring to book Sunday lunch on four occasions during opening hours ... they do not answer. This has happened before so eventually booked elsewhere

What is there not to like about this place? Warm, comfortable with character, food is spot on, service is great. Staff are smartly turned out, it is really is a friendly home from home place. I'll be coming back for sure.I have read a few negative comments and those don't reflect my experience in the slightest. The biscuit takers are the dog owners who moan when they are denied entry, ffs, this is a restaurant not a kennel!!!

Very disappointed with our visit . On entering the premises there was no one waiting on I had to go and find someone so we could be given a table. Our order was taken by a very unhelpful unfriendly waitress who clearley didnt want to be there. She took our ordered from the adult menu. Starter was soup of the day... leek and potato which was tastless.our main was fish and chips which was that small it could have come of the children's menu It was very expensive for what it was and how it was served. Won't be going back.

£30 a head on NYE (group of 6 )couldn't sit at our table comfortably because to many tables squeezed in, no cutlery on the table and other tables did, no complimentary drink, after sitting for around 15 minutes we finally went to the bar for a drink when it should have been waitress service, the only choice on the buffet was vegetable lasagne or meat and potatoe pie with chips, coleslaw and salad, for £30 a head ? Absolutely ridiculous. A £5 bottle of prossecco for £20 ?Totally unjustified and we weren't the only ones who were not happy after having spoken to other guests.

Following on from a previous successful party visit in October we rebooked again for Christmas Eve. I wish we hadn't bothered! After arriving promptly we were told everyone had been booked for 7.30pm and after orders were finally taken at 8.00pm we were informed there would be a long delay in service. Having checked before ordering one of the dishes requested was with little spice and when it finally arrived it was too hot and spicy to actually eat. The sea basses were over cooked with a poor vegetable selection. We did inform the waitress who said she would let the management know. Upon receipt of the bill I did ask if the management had any comments or feedback regarding our comments, to be told they had asked suggested that we could have changed the chicken and that as many of the plates were deemed empty! They weren't prepared to do anything, at £26.00 per person we honestly felt extremely disappointed at the overall experience!

Lovely little gem of a pub serving restaurant quality pub food in a quiet, sophisticated atmosphere. I love the decor in here. It's homely, cosy, and classy.

We went with our 3 large dogs, as we had heard this pub was dog friendly - FAR FROM IT!!!Not even people friendly! The way he spoke to us (sorry shouted at us!) was disgusting!!"YOU CAN'T BRING ALL THEM DOGS IN ERE!! I'm bein' serious! "It's a restaurant, where you gonna put em?"Maybe the pub is no longer dog friendly, but even so, there was absolutely no need whatsoever to speak to us like that!Rude, ignorant and an extremely bad attitude - AVOID

Stunning little treasure, with a warm welcome from the staff. We booked a table online that day, which I was quite surprised with. The food was full of flavour and really tasty!

Lovely old building with rustic style farm house food. Cosy interior. Good place for a quiet pint or a meal. Situated close to stunning countryside and good walks.

went with family to celibate my dads 70th birthday, place inside is lovely, but the food was very over priced, we are far from cheap skates but 13 pounds for fish and chips???? and it wasnt that nice at all, my mum had tandori chicken which was 15 pounds, she had on her plate one chicken breast slice on a slant, with no sauce just like a parperka powered over top, a hand full of salad and two brunt onion bargies, service was terible would never go again!!!

We organised and attended a school reunion at the Dane Bank after leaving Wright Robinson High School 42 years ago! As there was meant to be a live band on in the main bar we worried we would not be able to hear each other speak and the weather was not warm enough to be in the beer garden, so we asked if we could use the vault and this was agreed. The vault was quite tired looking but the bar staff were friendly and drinks were good. Not only that but we had the room to ourselves all night. Great night and loads of fun. Thanks for the use of the vault!

Came with my partner for something to eat, my partners garlic bread was hard, my meal was terrible, pie mash peas gravy. For an adult portion size was more like a kid’s portion, mash was dry and hard, gravy was lumpy, when manager was told he informed us they use frozen mash (not stated on menu) and portion size is set by company. Safe to say we will never come back again as our meals were not value for money 😡
