I visited with a group of 10 last night 25/09/2024. Mistakes with food. My fish & chips was sub standard, seems like the fish was smashed so thin it concluded as a battered wafer and so very dry. One of our guests requested no dairy and cheese was placed on the burger.....all standards need to be raised for a much better dining experience.

We went for the newly established taster menu which is happening every Friday. The food was so good, really interesting menu focusing on local and seasonal produce. At £45 per person which included a glass of wine it was excellent value. We've always found the service really good and this was no exception. When I struggled to finish my (2nd) pudding a box was produced for me to transport it home. We will definitely be back for more.

I went for aubergine and chickpea as my main, and was disappointed by its size. I should say I am a light eater and a smaller woman, I don't think I ever had this problem in the past. The Hopping Hare surprised me not in a good way, I'd expect to get more food for the price, especially when talking about a vegetarian main dish. The menu doesn't state grams or calories, so I just assumed any main should be big enough. Apart from that the place is lovely.

We arrived early for a pre booked table but we're seated immediately. Very varied menu and wine list. Slight error with starters but quickly rectified. Human error, nobody is infallible. Both starter and mains were perfect and the latter ( roast beef) was huge. The above lrft us to full for a third course so we just chilled with our wine and chatted. Without asking we were presented with the bill saying they needed the table in 10 minutes. Their policy is 2.5 hours for a party our size and we had not even had 2 hours. This did mar the experience for us. Staff only said not their fault as someone else allocated tables. We would return as the food was so good but I will be checking our table is correctly allocated next time.

We had a marvellous lunch today Saturday with grandparents, one daughter and her family travelling from Nottingham the other daughter and her family travelling from north London. In all we were six adults and five children aged from 2 to 8. A variety of meals were all excellent and we were impressed that those children who had fish and chips had the real thing rather than fish fingers. The positioning of our table (for wee kids) and the service were both excellent. We highly recommend the Hopping Hare. Thank you.

Hotel part was clean and well lit, room were beautiful and clean, nice white linen on the beds, which were extremely comfortable. Complementary coffees tea hot chocolate in the room, also toiletries in bathroom, shower was piping hot. We eat our evening meal in the restaurant, this also had a very good selection of dishes which were well presented and was very tasty food. I would recommend this hotel to any of my family and friends. Breakfast there was plenty of choice food was served quickly and was of good quality products . We will book here again when we travel in that area.

A fabulous place to stay. My wife and I had booked bed & breakfast, but having read the reviews of how good the food was, we booked to have dinner in the evening we arrived. We were not disappointed, it was fabulous. May I recommend the Scotch egg and the slow roasted loin of pork!!! We both thoroughly enjoyed the meal including the scrummy desserts. The room was comfortable and spacious. The breakfast was great, lots to choose from and the full english was cooked to perfection. Service both at dinner and breakfast was efficient and friendly. If i could, i would give it 6 stars!! I would highly recommend.

For the amount of money being charged here for a roast dinner the potatoes and Yorkshire puddings should not be Aunt Bessies. See image. So disappointed. Thought we would give this place a go and wished we had not. As customers we were not listened to regarding our requirements. The wrong food was brought out and had to be sent back. If you like genuine home cooked food avoid this place. Really not worth the price they are charging. No value for money. No discount offered for the below standard food.

We were seated in a poor location Too close to another table, which didn’t help where empty glasses were stacked on the bar.None of the staff wore any form of PPE.

superb food overall. Starters for me Smoked Salmon, fantastic presentation, good flavour probably on the steep price for a starter would be the only criticism. Others had Pork or Mushroom Tartlets and they were very happy. My main Beef Rump and Shin was superb - no other words for it really. Others had fish and chips and burgers which they enjoyed. One person had rump steak which they left as they felt ill. We ordered Mac & Cheese as a side dish, it was delivered as a main and charged as such and they said they didn;t do it as a side - so the waitress should have been told when she put the order in, she was new so not her fault. So overall it would have been five star but a couple of quibbles. £165 for five and no bottles of wine, five diners.

Has completely changed its reputation from years ago since changing hands. Proper cheffy food (although also proper cheffy prices which is to be expected with the quality you receive), and great service even on the weekend before Christmas when we did not order from the festive menu. Thanks for a great meal, we will be back!

We visited with 2 friends on Sat 7/12/19 and as soon as we walked in the atmosphere felt good, staff at the bar very friendly and helpful. We then went into the restaurant for our meal, we all chose to eat from the festive menu and each of us thoroughly enjoyed every course. The food was lovely and the main courses were really hot when served.

Just returned from an impromptu dinner that was excellent on all levels! Service 100% attentive. Menu choices suited all preferences. My husband who is not a ‘roast dinner’ fan was swayed by the Treacle coated sirloin of beef which he said was absolutely delicious. Lamb loin and Roast Pork choices equally tasty and all beautifully presented with perfectly cooked seasonal veggies. Couldn’t resist the desserts either and my personal favourite was actually vegan. Dark chocolate delice Griottine cherries & kirch with a berry sorbet. Poached pears and a white chocolate delice with a raspberry sorbet.. so scummy. Cannot fault a thing, Compliments to the chef and front of house. Thank you and we will be back!

Stayed in the attached rooms mainly to try out the restaurant, very glad we did. Pleasant dining space with enough room between tables, the service was a little hit and miss between different servers (I had to go find someone to pay after waiting for some time at the table) but most were very pleasant. Ordered a bottle of Malbec which sadly was a very bland example of it's type but may have been to others' taste. The description in the wine list didn't match up to the flavour. However this was remedied by the excellent espresso martini I had which was spot on. Food - gourmet style starter (panko pork belly), main (cod loin) and pud (white choc cheesecake). I would have appreciated some complimentary bread (£4.50) but actually even without purchasing this I was pleasantly full by the end of 3 courses. Each course was excellently executed and I would very happily eat here again.

We stayed here for two nights as we were visiting local attractions. Check in was quick and the staff friendly. Our room was at the back of the hotel and quiet and spotlessly clean. The bathroom was nice with fluffy white towels and good quality toiletries. We ate in the hotel and the food was excellent and hot and although not an extensive menu there were plenty of choices and the food was beautifully cooked and very well presented. Breakfast was plentiful and good orange juice and quality coffee. A very pleasant stay and we wouldn't hesitate to return.

We ate breakfast here. Cooked to order eggs were available and I got a large omelette which was filling. Nicely done hash browns, croissants were lovely. I liked the quality of the food and the friendly service.

Came in here on a Saturday night and it should've been packed but it was absolutely dead. The bar surface/floor was horrible and sticky, it's so dark and loud in there we couldn't see/hear each other. There was about 4 tables in the whole room and it's just as well that the place was empty. We tried to go to the smoking area outside but it was locked and the bouncer made us go back downstairs to sit in the really loud music room. No thanks.
