Hare & Hounds in Selby - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great food, nice beers and lovely staff. Big car park, within an awesome village, locals are very friendly.

The Hare & Hounds is a good, friendly traditional village pub. There is a wide choice of beers, lager and cider including two hand pulled cask conditioned real ales which were in excellent condition when i called in. It's a lovely cosy pub with a pool table and a dart board in the bar. There is a separate lounge and dining area and a beer garden.

Watching football. Fairly priced drinks , good service & some free food. Always good here great Sunday dinners too. Mandy’s beef & onion baps at £2 are great.

It's a pub, sells beer and pub grub and the staff are great too.

Good entertainment and good service. Lovely atmosphere.

Just had a glass of wine. Very welcoming.

Sadly, there was no food available here and there were just a handful of locals in the pub when we arrived, but it was around 6pm which is quite early.

Lovely food nice atmosphere definitely go there again

Good local pub, great beer and jovial host

Lovely friendly pub great food will definitely be eating here again very friendly staff

Very friendly pub, Sunday lunch was very nice great landlord.

Me, my dad and my 9 year old were looking for somewhere to eat in the area as we were attending a dance competition near by. The staff were more than accommodating and even prepared us food before service had begun due to us being on a tight schedule. We had starters and mains and were all delighted with the quality of food and the price is more than reasonable. My daughter ordered an adult pizza and it was so big she could only eat 2 slices so the staff boxed it up for her to take with her. The cook and the lady behind the bar were very friendly and chatty. The place was very clean and cosy. We will definitely be revisiting the same time next year when we come back to the area.

We visited the Hare & Hounds for the 2 for 15 deal and this included the 2 courses for 2 people. I opted for the Bruschetta for a starter and Steak pie for a main and it was OK, for me this deal does not benefit me as i feel as if i could make this at home but i understand the reasoning behind it. People who can not afford to eat out with their families would find this to be a treat. I felt like the Bruchetta could have been an actual Bruchetta at a more cost effective make and the Pie could have been a large home made pie cut in to pieces again making it what i would consider to be more cost effective but i am just a customer who has no experience of running a pub so this is just a theory of course. The chips, gravy and vegetables that came with the pie were amazing, that gravy was out of this world! I just felt as if it could of all been a lot better whilst still keeping the costs down but i can not knock the pub for trying to make eating out more affordable for everyone. Don't think we will be returning purely because we would easily make this meal at home and what i would consider to be in a more home made way but that is my opinion.

Just visited for the first time a warm welcome tried their excellent new menu 2 courses for 2 people £15 can’t go wrong all freshly cooked drinks very reasonable

Good old tradition pub. Tasty Sunday lunches very reasonably cost £11.

No food on Mondays lovely pub to visit

Never a disappointment amazing food great service staff are welcoming will defiantly recommend visiting for food had a Sunday dinner before and it was delicious will be coming again

Carling 4 pound a pint was OK night

Great pub , nice people. Only had drinks.

Lovely traditionally British pub. Offers varied events, as Pub Quizzes and Open Mics. Find yourself invited to play a pool game while one of the talented local artists performs on stage. Really friendly staff and an atmosphere that invites you to relax with a beer in hand.

Recently celebrated my father in law’s birthday with a family Sunday lunch here. Can safely say I wouldn’t recommend to others. I can’t recall a worse Sunday lunch! The starters took a while to come and were uninspired. My pate probably came from the local Spar and the salad garnish was a chunk of iceberg with a cherry tomato and a slice of cucumber, no dressing…. An improvement on my brother in laws salad garnish which was the core of the iceberg lettuce?! The roast was a choice of beef or gammon. It came out cold, with a teaspoon portion of mash, reheated quarters of jacket potatoes???, what looked like spectacular Yorkshire puddings however they required a hacksaw to cut through them, and a small portion of beef. We didn’t bother with dessert, saving ourselves from further disappointment. The waitress was great. Everything else 👎

Nice friendly pub with great selection of drinks

Missed the bus had 40mins to spare so went to the Hare and Hounds by myself and had the first lager and lime in years, it was peacefull and I was left alone to catch up with my mob. Not been drinking for years, and I actually enjoyed it, I will visit again

Food and cook fine but landlady thought it was fine for man at the bar to swear and threaten violence Apparently it’s what men do well I for one won’t be going again to be subjected to such behaviour

Lovely cozy pub, very friendly young barmaid, just started doing food again, we didn't have any but it looked amazing, will be trying it out very soon.

We had a really good evening, playing pool with the young locals who are really friendly. The pub is child friendly and dog friendly.

Nice friendly well kept pub doggy friendly

For some years this establishment has tried to be a pub/restaurant without ever succeeding on both counts. Changes of management have failed to address the problem and its present attempt to change the situation does not work. The lilac colour of the exterior is depressing an the internal setting is still a variation on a sitting room. As the other pub in the village is now closed it was an opportunity badly judged.

Great pub with great beers and very good staff and live music

Love it. Great bar staff, good beer and love Fridays with live music 🙃

Good service and will be fantastic when all refurbs are done.

The outdoor live music regularly stops my children from sleeping, even with all our windows and doors closed it is really loud. We don't even live very close to it. I wonder if they have a license for outdoor amplified entertainment.

Went for Sunday lunch and wasn't disappointed. Staff were friendly and helpful. Food was well cooked, hot and well presented. I went for the trio of meat which was generously portioned.

Me and my friends went into the pub for the Euros, we first went in for the Scotland game and there was no cover on the pool table and we told him they need to put one on for the euros. We then went in against Germany and again, no cover was on the pool table and obviously, it was going to get covered in lager etc. Graham runs the pub with another Gentleman who is actually a nice fella. Graham started to call us all ar**holes and wan**rs for the state of his pool table, which we told him to cover it but didn’t, then we went in against Ukraine. No cover, and again, it had loads of lager on it and a couple of glasses got knocked over and graham went crazy and actually tuned the game off. With the nation having just come out of a lockdown this is the most enjoyment we’ve had as a nation in nearly two years. We thought he would’ve loved the atmosphere in his pub but unfortunately that wasnt the case.

Great day face painting... fantastic atmosphere at the fun day.

Nice friendly pub,dog friendly,

Brilliant staff, friendly, very welcoming

It was really good to get back to a pub . First time this year and I really enjoyed it. No food being served as yet but the pizza place next door was open .. we will be going back there again this weekend...

I didn’t check the receipt at payment, but thought it was strange that the manager tried to take the receipt away with him after I’d happily paid, only giving it after asking. Checked a day later and was over charged for a cider and a pint, £8.20 in total! I usually check receipts but happened to be trusting after 4 months of lockdown. Moral of the story do not trust your bill and triple check before paying!!! Not getting any of my service going forward, discussing and disappointed!

Very busy lack of service 1 girl serving run off er feet. Management should have realised that they would be busy and got at least 3 more staff. Hope they learn for the weekend

Walked past just doing a local doggy walk and was drawn in to lively sounds. Called back half an hour later and stayed all night. Great atmosphere, really good live singing artist, choice of beers and also , good and value choice of proper wines. Not usual brewery stuff. Had a great night and stayed far longer than planned because of hospitality. Hope soon they're bringing back food too.... especially veggies. Thanks to all

Amazing. Manager is very beautiful.

What a wonderful surprise my wife, Jean and I had when we visited the Hare and Hounds last Saturday early evening. There was a pleasant atmosphere and there was quite a number of customers present. We both had meals, Jean had a Thai chicken curry dish, which she drooled over (always been a sloppy eater). I had a beef and Guinness pie it was succulent. We will certainly be visiting again in the near future. The chef was only young but very engaging and the young girl behind the bar was excellent. Well done to both, it was a wonderful experience and great to find such a great place for an evening out on our doorstep.

Absolutely fabulous find. Will definitely be back. Food was fabulous, sunday dinner was so good. All the staff were wonderful, smiling and attentive. Just brilliant!

Just spent a lovely evening at the Hare & Hounds. Good atmosphere and the food was great.

Visited Friday and we were greeted with a friendly welcome. The ale was of a good standard, and we later returned to eat the food was top quality and not run of the mill. The chef /manager was helpful and proud of the food he served, he made it great night would look forward to going again. 👍

Great pub in the village, large parking facilities. Flat so disabled can easily get in. First time going in, lit fire and nobody was in, staff made us feel welcomed. Booked a table for our evening meal. On return later, pub was buzzing, again staff lovely. The food was excellent, chef takes time and care, so if you are in a hurry it's not for you. Great selection of different dishes, which change regularly. We had the pie with all the trimmings, meat melted in the mouth. Only one choice of pudding, but it was amazing vanilla cheesecake with white chocolate and fresh strawberrys. If you are in the area its worth a visit.

I heard this place was under new management and had a brand new food menu out so my wife and I thought we'd give it a go. It's a brilliant little local pub with a quirky food menu. We went for the wood pigeon on toast and the rabbit and cider stew, my wife and I have to share everything when we go out and I've got to say both dishes were very very good! The service was quick despite it being quite busy. The food was top notch and went down well with a lovely pint of Blue Moon. The atmosphere was relaxed and we finished up with a few games of pool. We will be back, maybe with the dogs next time as its also dog friendly which is a bonus. 👌🏻

No longer does food, so left disappointed.

Recently visited on a Saturday night. Tell tale sign was how quiet it was. However we ordered food but our first 2 choices were “out of stock”. We gave up and ordered fish and chips. Tasteless over cooked uninteresting looking on the plate. Never again. Such a shame as food had always been very good on previous visits

Went for a meal and drinks with friends and the food was amazing and so were the staff. Zoe and Ellie couldn’t have done more. Really welcoming and happy to help. Will definitely be back...

A spur of the moment decision to take our family of 9 to the village pub rather than trying to cater at home. The food and service were excellent - we had at least five different choices between us . The fish ( very large) and chips were delicious . It was a pleasure to eat in a place that was not playing loud raucous music ! Thank you.

A choice of pies and all are excellent. Very good value also and accompanied by fresh vegetables and plenty lovely chips

Nos quedamos en el campamento no muy lejos de aquí y siempre pedimos una pinta (o algunas) y una comida, nunca nos hemos decepcionado, Paul y su personal hacen todo lo posible para que se sienta como en casa y no pueda haz lo suficiente por ti, la nueva área de descanso es una verdadera ventaja, puedes sentarte con amigos y una copa de vino y charlar en los sofás de cuero. Si sientes hambre, pide un plato de papas fritas recién cortadas a mano, son deliciosas. Recomendaría el Hare and Hounds a cualquiera que desee un buen ambiente y buena comida.

Eaten here many times and still great value and great food. Fabulous fish and chips. My personal favourite has to be Monday night pie night. Pie, chips and veg only £7.50 and it’s a proper pie. Yum 😋

First visit to Hare & Hounds but definitely won’t be my last visit. Booked a table for 5 Sunday Dinner (recommended to by my friend Leanne). Phoned this morning to change to a 7, not a problem.Lovely pub, staff where all very friendly and helpful, I asked if they could bring the cupcakes out after we had finished. But they did accommodate people who were passing. Sunday dinner was fantastic and huge!!! Yorkshire puddings as big as your head and a mountain of vegetables, extra gravy.Though we did forget to take a picture of said Sunday Dinner. Our waitress even came to double check what age my stepdad was so she got the candles the right way round,Seating area outside is clean and tidy and ample parking overall one of the nicest places I’ve eaten in for a long time.

Popped in for the first time to eat. It was burger night and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Hubby had Pub special with a huge homemade burger I had chicken breast with blue cheese sauce. Big burgers, homemade onion rings, French fries, lovely bread buns, coleslaw def worth £9.95 each a good feast. Lovely staff and service thank you

Hare and hound bar riccall is a beautiful country bar Staff are very welcomeing food is great fish and chips are highly recommend and there home made garlic mayo there was entertainment was very good

Riccall is blessed with having two decent pubs and there’s not much to choose between them. This one has kept its rooms divided and the beer is a decent pint . There was live music on when we were there and for some reason this meant they stopped food at 8.30 despite there only being about 10 people in. The other, the Greyhound wasn’t doing food at all Saturday evening so we went to the very good Italian

Husband and I have just had the best steak we have had in a long time food staff and Service all 5 star we would Highly recommend this pub and looking forward to our next visit xx

We read they were known for their steaks and we were not disappointed. The food was cooked beautifully and well presented. The service was friendly and attentive.

As a village pub/eatery it falls between two stools. Pub wise it doesn't quite work, the layout is wrong and feels more like a sitting room. The "public" bar is dominated by a pool table and is a games room. The eating area is fine, it is exactly what it is. With a little adjustment to the "lounge" bar area I'm sure it could become more of gain more of a pub feel and cater for all tastes.

Called into Hare n Hounds lunchtime today. Undergoing a refurbishment but still open. Had Steak Pie which was a proper pie not casserole with a pastry lid. Load of chips and vegetables cooked properly with some bite still in them and not mushy. Good pint too and very reasonable price. Will go back when decoration is complete.

Ventajas: permiten perros yorkshire grande y agradable y en

Traditional Sunday roast lunch with more than enough meat, great Yorkshire's and loads of vegetables. Friendly and efficient service.

Thank you so much for the fantastic meal we had here, the staff were very professional and accommodating.

Came here for my birthday after checking out the menu online... homemade pate ( definitely not ), warm crusty bread ( Tescos basic maybe? ) Prawn and Melon cocktail... No melon, never has been! ( why not change the menu? ) and as for the paprika!! it went on and on, however lovely staff who obviously knew what a mess the menu was! Will not be back and it's very rarely I say that.

Under new management I was unsure what to expect as previously ate here regularly so was used to high standards. Today's lunch exceeded the old carvery style, loads of excellently cooked vegetables and meat, only criticism was I needed a larger plate. Staff were polite and we were warmly greeted with a big smile. Will definitely come back for more. Well recommended

me and my fiancee Laura have just moved to the village literally a 2 minute walk from this pub , we can honestly say, what fantastic ,polite staff, very welcoming and the food was beautifully cooked and presented! we will deffinatly be coming on a regular basis , especially for pie night !

As visitors to the area, we decided on The Hare and Hounds for a meal. We received such a warm welcome from attentive friendly staff - as pubs used to be. The meals were very generous in size and perfectly cooked. it was Fish and Chip Friday,a huge piece of freshly caught fish delivered that day with crisp freshly made chips. We cannot wait to return on our next visit to York.

Unable to rgo for a while, returned last night - met a friend and had dinner - fabulous.

Went recently for a meal, lovely staff very friendly, had a steak which was huge and very tasty. can well recommend the Hare and Hounds. Amazing Food, huge portions great service! will be back for sure

Excellent, food with friendly efficient service, will definitely be eating here again. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, like pubs used to be.

Went to Hare and Hounds last Friday not the first time I live in the village. Our meal was of the highest quality, love the pub especially when the log fire on on a cold winters evening. Good choice of beers and can recommend the chicken in white wine sauce and the Mrs loved her fish and chips. Excellent!

Grands plats, un seul suffit largement à se rassasier, il est même parfois difficile de finir.

After trying other pubs in the area for a meal without success, we were pleased to find The Hare & Hounds. The bar and restaurant area have a warm atmosphere and the welcome friendly. Our meal did not get off to a good start as my wife's prawn start was very poor, but fulll marks to the management for dealing with our complaint appropriately. Our main course of Steak and Ale Pie was very good and the portions generous. We did however eye our neighbours steaks enviously - it appears that that are a local speciality! We met the Chef who has only recently arrived and he has plans to improve the restaurant and source good local produce. We willl be back!

We came here bringing a couple of friends after three previous visits which were good.After ordering we waited a good while for our main courses. The steak was over cooked and the vegetables for the other three meals arrived late to the table. The waitress asked if all was ok when she brought them but our friend declined the offer of her taking it back to the kitchen as we had already waited so long and the rest of us would have finished our meals before the replacement arrived.Some how the ice cream selections that two of us had for desert were all mixed up. It was not as if the dining area was busy. Don't know how they would manage if it was full.The whole meal was spoiled by the slow erratic service and the fact that there was a group setting up and loudly tuning up throughout our meal. It's a pity the group night was not mentioned when we booked the table over the phone the night before as we had wanted a nice peaceful meal and chance to chat with our friends.

After a lovely sunny day we wanted to find a pub where we could sit and unwind and enjoy a nice refreshing drink and meal. The pub was exceptionally busy but thisDid not effect in my opinion the high level of service we received. All the staff were so friendly and helpful and made us feel really welcome. The food was absolutely delicious so thank you to the chef who I believe was called Dom and the manager who was called Jason/Nathan - sorry my memory is shocking especially after a few prosecos!! Thank you to teddy behind the bar and Debbie for all your hard work. We would certainly recommend this pub to anybody who is looking for that quaint English local pub experience where you get to meet local characters like we did so thank you to 2 tags, buggy and Shafty who not only made us feel really welcome but were also such good fun. We will hopefully be back soon.

Called here on Friday night for food after only having Sunday lunch before which was delicious and was not disappointed, it was beautiful and the presentation was brilliant we had the chicken stuffed with spinach and cream cheese wrapped in Parma ham which was amazing, also had the steak pie, my husband said it was one of the nicest he'd had, and the fish and chips which came with mushy peas and a little pot of scraps, the fish was huge and tasted Devine which came in a beautiful crispy batter and the home made chips were fabulous, also had the sticky toffee pudding for dessert was very yummy. The staff were lovely, so friendly and helpfull Well Done!! will most definately be returning.

What a Great Local Pub the Barmaid was very helpful we where made most Welcome by all The Food and beer was First Class

visited in a foursome and the place was very busy on a Thursday evening. On ordering was told that using the "tastecard" was restricted to items on the menu with a "T" next to them. This restricted your choice a lot and there was no chance of having the other meals without paying full price which was a pity as it would have been nice if there had been a supplement on the other dishes. The food we ordered was very good and enjoyed by all of us and will be visiting again

The curb side appeal of this place is 0/10. In my opinion, no hanging baskets are better than dead hanging baskets. The inside is better than the outside. We did venture in and considered eating here but decided against it. The welcome was ok but not overly warm.

Have visited this pub 4 times since returning to the area. On each visit the food was well prepared and tasty , the chef obviously takes pride in his work and it shows. I would recommend a visit.

Decided to try here for Sunday lunch and it was beautiful, there was an array of veg to choose from which was Devine and a choice of four meats, was so full afterwards but managed one of the homemade desserts, so pleased we tried it and will definately be going back.

Situated in this quiet village this lovely pub offers a very friendly staff. Home made pub food. We have now visited this pub on two occasions and found the food to be very good together with excellent beers.

Lovely Sunday lunch. Lovely old pub with fire on meal was terrific and staff very helpful. Will visit regularly.

Stayed in B&B in this pretty village, did book as had seen previous reviews, glad we did as got last table. Very welcoming, warm atmosphere, staff very helpful and friendly. Good food , prompt service. Definitely recommend for good food & friendly pub.

Meal out with some friends started with a lovely welcome by staff, as we were early our table was still ready but we weren't rushed and had an enjoyable drink in the bar. When we did eventually go to the table, the menus we brought over for our perusal, again no rushing but just the right time to chat and discuss. Starters we fried black pudding fritters, crispy chicken strips and smoked salmon and prawn salads all of which were presented beautifully and didn't last very long!Plates were cleared and drinks refreshed ready for our mains two steak pies and four gammon. The pies came in their own pots with a shortcrust pastry top, one with mash and veg and the other with hand cut chips and veg. Both had spare little pots of gravy too. All the gammons were a good size however the only slight criticism, which is personal choice, was they came with pineapple chutney and no egg and our four are fairly traditional in taste! However this did not deter from the wonderful taste and again they all came with hand cut chips. All six plates went back fairly empty.Desert, yes a couple of us managed them, only to share of course, but the hot chocolate fudge cake and ice cream was delicious.From booking with the polite young man on the phone, great welcome and nice atmosphere a lovely time was had by all.

Booked a table for 4 using our taste card for a Friday night and it was an excellent choice.The place was bright and warm with lots of room, the menu was not large but had a good selection of meals. We all chose the ribeye steak and they were excellent accompanied with a large portion of chips, tomato and mushroom. This is a place not to be missed

Visited the Hare and Hounds last night and so pleased we did. We had such a warm welcome as soon as we walked through the door from the ladies behind the bar. We stood chatting for a while at the bar before ordering and glanced around to see a lovely clean well set out bar and restaurant area.The menu is not massive but has a good selection of food at very reasonable prices.We decided to have the chicken strips as starter and they arrived with a lovely light batter, a nice dip and some salad leaves.For main course we both decided on the gammon steak and we were amazed at the plateful that arrived. A large delicious piece of gammon with a mountain of 'proper' chips, home made onion rings, mushroom and tomato.All in all a delicious meal however on our next visit we will miss a starter in the hope that we may be able to try one of the sweets.The landlord has quite recently taken over this pub and we wish him all the best - if the quality stays like this then this pub should go from strength to strength.

We recently had a most enjoyable meal at The Hare & Hounds Local Pub/restaurant, The Fish Pie with Green Beans & Julienne Carrots it was the nicest Fish Pie I have had ...the carrots were deliciously seasoned, the beans had a nice bite to them, you may prefer them cooked slightly more..I'm sure they would oblige. My Partner had Sirloin Steak Medium Rare....once again cooked to perfection. We have been many times and never Disappointed. Highly Recommend. P.S Delicious Home Made Onion Rings

I stopped off at the pub on my way back from visiting a friend, and was greeted by a very lovely and friendly woman on the bar who couldn't be more pleasant. As I waited to be served, I heard one of the other customers discussing the pubs curry and how good it was. I had not yet eaten and so thought ill give it a go, and was glad I did.I got a nice fresh curry, rice and a soft naan bread for only £7.50, and it was delicious, couldnt fault a thing.I could barely eat much more after the curry as Im not a massive eater, but when I was shown the desserts I just had to try the baileys cheesecake. YUMMMay have to make this a regular visit

We went for a family meal out Saturday lunchtime, visiting family who live locally but were unsure about what it would be like under new management. Great food, very family friendly, but as so often in the UK the price of drinks doubles the cost of a meal. A glass of an average Pinot Grigio at £5.35 and admittedly excellent Theakston bitter at over £4 meant that our bill for 4 adults and three under-fours came to £125, or slightly more than we paid for two to stay a week at a hotel in Murcia, Spain.

We visited the hare and hounds after seeing an advert on a friends facebook for a £10 carvery and drink and so visited the other Sunday. It was quite busy with a couple of big tables in, but luckily we got in early as we did hear them turning people away.The carvery had a great selection of vegetables and roasts, as well as Beef Pork & Turkey. Having read other reviews I must say they did seem to run out of pork and turkey, however as we wanted Beef, there was plenty of that so where happy.We then finished off with dessert, a beautiful treacle and ginger tart with custard finished off my meal, with my friend having a chocolate brownie and ice cream.You can tell that the food is all home made, the staff are very friendly and seem to actually care about their customers!!I will be back again for sure!!

We visited the pub on a Sunday with a big group of family and friends . We had previously booked a table for 10 of us a few days before. We arrived to the table and started to go up and get our carverys only to discover there was not enough food to feed us!!! In fact there was only enough to feed possibly one person! After waiting a long time for an explanation we were told they had 'just been busy' !! And at first there was no apology offered. It was all handled quite poorly and it did spoil our Sunday carvery lunch that had been booked in advance and we ended up left with no dinner at 2pm on a Sunday afternoon!!! I know this pub has been recently taken over and they need to take what happened on board and listen to their customers to ensure any success!!
