The Brown Hare in South Ribble

Having been stuck in traffic that was even worse than usual, we took a spur of the moment decision to stop at the Hare and eat instead of enduring rising blood pressure. I'm so glad we did. Dinner was just what the doctor ordered and the fun banter with our waitress, Fabbey ensured we really enjoyed our visit and our frustration was replaced with smiles. Excellene service.

The staff who welcomed us were friendly. My mum enjoyed her food. However, mine, for £15.79 I expected to have more than two small cubes of halloumi on the kebab.

We had a lovely time at The Brown Hare, we were a big party of 32 but we were looked after really well by all the staff, especially Fabi. The food was delicious, my only negative was I had the chicken and chorizo kebab- but I didn’t have any chorizo.! It was still delicious and I enjoyed it.

Very attentive service from start to finish

Came to Brown Hare with a friend and only wanted a small meal so I chose the mini fishcakes and sweet potato fries and my friend had the kebab. The food was nice although the fishcakes were a bit dark in colour so not very appetising to look at. Service was good but oh my goodness, drinks were so expensive. We both had large glasses of wine but did not realise how much it was until the bill came. It would be expected in a gourmet restaurant but not in a pub chain. Will be tap water next time I think.

Wonderful food with a wonderful, bubbly, extremely helpful waitress - Fabi

Absolutely pouring down with rain to ran to the Hare for the weekly quiz. Thankfully the amazing duo of Hannah and Fabi were working and able to provide me a towel to dry off. Granted from the dog pamper tray but with this weather, I couldn't be picky.

Great service & great food Fantastic service by Hannah

Friendly pub with a range of delicious food. Me and my friends attend weekly for the quiz. One member of the team that excels above the rest is Fabi, her name says it all, she is fabby. Caring friendly and always serves with the biggest of smiles

Beautiful place, dropped in for a quick one, ended up ordering some food, chose the Aranchini as recommended by Fabi. Food was Beautiful 😍, service was great, Fabi was incredibly helpful and so so friendly! Will definitely be stopping by for a proper sit down and some drinks soon!

Good evening with friends at the regular quiz

Fabi is a great host - always smiling and happy to help.

A nice quiet Sunday lunch with my mum, before we went to visit dad in hospital. The food was delicious, with a really tasty roast and vegetables that were cooked perfectly and not overcooked to mush… the staff were really polite and attentive, without being overbearing. I don’t live in the area, but when visiting I will be back.

Absolutely lovely place. Food and staff were spot on. Can't recommend enough . I had the steak and ale pie which was amazing. They even let me swap my mash for chunky chips. My girlfriend had the buttermilk chicken burger which was the biggest burger I have ever seen great value for money.

Lovely roast dinner, huge portions! Good attentive service, thank you Sammie 😁

Lovely welcome from Hannah when dinning here with friends, delicious food and drinks served by Charlotte & Connor. Great friendly welcoming atmosphere in an easily accessible building.

Nice meal. Lovely cheerful waitress Fabi!

Fabi is just lovely and always makes us aware of the deals and promotions on. She always makes us smile 😁

Visited Wednesday 10th October at 7.30 pm We really enjoyed our visit. Food came out in good time, was hot and tasty. The staff were brilliant and service was second to none. We had the 30% voucher which was a great saving. Child friendly with crayons and board games. They are dog friendly towards the right hand side of the pub

Adam Courtney and Fabi, fantastic service and good food

Nice food and friendly service although a little expensive!

Great place , Staff are nothing but welcoming. Big smile and big effort to make sure you are happy. Food is delicious and piping hot with plenty of choice as it’s a big menu. Love the little doggie baskets. Dog baskets , blankets , water and even little doggie biscuits (free of charge) It was toasty warm with is a bonus with the weather today We had the lunch time menu which we found to be very good value. X2 fish gousons , chips and mushy peas And one apple crumble with custard and one chocolate pudding which was delicious We couldn’t fault a thing.

Amazing service. The person who served us (pink hair!) was bubbly and lovely and helpful. Good gluten free menu!! Thank you Adam, Courtney + Fabi

Food ok, nothing outstanding but well cooked and well presented. Server Fabi was excellent however, very friendly and happy, made the outing

Been here a few times, a great place to come and eat. Lucina is particularly helpful and has excellent customer service. Always makes sure I get what I have asked for and is lovely and polite. Would definitely recommend.

Friendly staff, great food and a wonderful atmosphere.

I ordered the steak pie with mash potatoes carrots and peas had to give it back as the pie was frozen won't be going there again

Food was great, lovely and hot and plenty of it, staff very helpful and friendly. Lovely atmosphere.

Great pub grub and relaxed atmosphere

Fabio was indeed fabulous as was all the staff, great service great food .

I found this place by accident. One day I was simply driving past on the A59 and noticed the pub, so looked it up on Google. The reviews were good so we decided to give it a try! We visited on a Sunday with 4 people and a dog and was met by a warm and friendly atmosphere. The staff behind the bar were friendly and chatty, the food was great and we were even given 30% off the total price, which came to £80 for 4 Sundays roasts and 4 drinks. Also super dog friendly. Will return and recommend

Partner is a vegetarian and they brought out a chicken pie. These days it is difficult to see the difference between meat free and meat foods. She started feeling sick from the food and asked me if it was chicken which it turned out it was. Their excuse was that they had a new chef, there is no excuse to this situation and is a sirius health risk to others. I will be taking this further!

Went tonight spontaneous date with my bestie. After lots of bad reviews from friends and people in general. Also bad experiences ourselves. After seeing the recent adverts we gave it a try. Was not disappointed. Excellent service, made to feel so welcome. The mixed Grill we ordered was amazing and trust me I know my meats. Drinks Also were so nice. After all this we payed and left. That was when I realised I had a voucher for 30%off and forgot to apply it 😭 never mind it was well worth it 👌

I love the BH, although it’s a bit further to go for us we are always made to feel welcome. They have a dog snug, were our furry friends are treated to free water and treats. The food is always great, and competitively priced. They also run quiz nights and party nights! Last years Halloween party was really good fun!

Great experience and lovely food. Staff where wonderful and really looked after us especially Fabi who couldn’t have done more

Fabi was amazing so cheery and friendly made the evening so much more amazing. You just automatically want her as your friend. Customer service was amazing. Food was amazing highly recommend. Thank you Alfie and Fabi

Very helpful staff to assist with dietary requirements.

Sasha and all of the team did a wonderful job of making it a fantastic birthday celebration for my father in law’s 92nd birthday. The table was well placed and service/ food very good.

Was offered a welcome 30% on main meal discount and having only recently moved back into the area thought we'd give it a try. Food for the price was a bargain, we had a mixed grill and even though the chef missed off the egg, the member of staff who passed clocked this and came out with it and an apology. Really great service from the moment we walked in. Keep up the good work and we'll certainly be back soon.

Had a absolutely lovely family meal sat outside in the sunshine in the middle of September the kebab was delicious and the mixed grill was excellent and as a bonus a little play area for young kids and not to forget dog friendly will definitely go again soon

On Monday the 9th September, me and three friends came in for lunch. My first time but my friends had been many times. I was firstly impressed with the dress code. A few workmen arrived in dirty boots and I'm guessing this wasn't your dress code because they returned to vans and changed footwear. Well done! The place was welcoming and friendly. Lovely decor and clean toilets, because that's always a plus. The food arrived in a timely manner and looked lovely. It didn't disappoint, it was delicious. The steak was cooked to our liking. At the end of our stay we were greeted by a lovely bubbly member of staff. Definitely a credit to you and is a fabulous front of house member of staff. Her name was Fabi, I hope this is correct. She had pink curly hair. We will definitely return and definitely recommend you. Keep up the good work guys. Lesley, Vivien Pam and Claire.

Just been and had lunch with my partner and grandkids, spot on service and the food was amazing, my granddaughter especially enjoyed the mac and cheese off the kids menu, will deffo be coming again 😀😀xx

Lovely food and friendly service - thank you Abby and the other staff who served us tonight :)

Pretty bad. Slow service Food pretty bad pastry very hard on pies .carrots well very uninspiring Mash which didn't order curled around pie.skinny fried hard and snapped. All in all terrible

wonderful food, fabulous service, and we all agreed (went with my husband and my parents) that we will be introducing our extended family to this venue.

Belting. Great attention to detail. Lovely service. Nice atmosphere.

Food was excellent: had the homemade kebabs. The menu was varied and appealing. Wide choice of gins available. Nice outdoor seating area. Table took a little time to be cleared but otherwise a good experience. Would come again

Amazing food, staff were lovely and very professional. Will go again next time we are in the area 😊

We received absolutely brilliant service today, the staff on today front of house 30/08 around 1330 were professional and friendly. Food and drinks were good too.

Overpriced mediocre food. We came in for a 16th birthday they brought the cake out fine. But just left it on the table with no offer to cut it for us or offer of a knife and some side plates to do it ourselves. We had to ask for the box back. It was all very disappointing

Amazing food, amazing staff, superb all round. I would highly recommend

Friendly staff evelyn dealt with us very friendly welcoming smile

Food was very nice, price wasn't too expensive either

Went here on a whim after some sales people came to my work to drop off some vouchers and oh my goodness I'm so glad I did! Food was great (and some great veggie options) and the service was amazing🤩 especially the pink haired person, Faby I think their name was, couldn't do enough for us so helpful and genuinely kind, so excited to come back at some point 💕

This was our first visit to the Brown Hare but it definitely won’t be the last! Everything from the friendly welcome, the excellent service to the superb food made it a memorable experience on our wedding anniversary. The little welcome box for the dog was a brilliant touch too. Your staff are fantastic and we will be visiting again very soon!

The food was really nice and really good gluten free options, my whole family enjoyed it. The bingo was also really fun!

Ordered a children’s sunday lunch last sunday, food was cooked to perfection and the portion size even for a kids meal was spot on.

The food was amazing!! The atmosphere was great and the service was brilliant!! Can't wait to go again!!

Located just off the main bypass Penwortham Way (A59) next to a garage and Booths super market. Great staff , small but adequate food menu with some weekday specials, decent food and good drinks selection.

Higher standards than most pubs. Friendly staff, massive portions.

Friendly, helpful staff. Good food for the price.

Great food and service. Lovely atmosphere too

Great place! Staff are so friendly, food is great! Will be back

We had a very nice lunch…. lovely food and very good service. We will return

Came for the quiz night, which was really good! We had great service by Fabi all evening, would definitely recommend for both friends and family!

Fabi, Kiera and Hannah were very good :) 👍

They really need to improve the Yorkshire Puddings, which were flat and undercooked. The waitress told us that the chef/cook/microwaver said they would be the same if replaced. I would not dare serve them to my guests!

Superb service. Great friendly staff, nothing was too much trouble. Lovely food, good portions at a fair price. Highly recommended. Will return very soon.

Food - Steak and ale pie was very poor dry and seemed to have been cooked a long time ago. Very reluctant to return as so disappointed

Very good all round service. Friendly and engaging service from Fabi. Food was quickly served and off high quality. Will definitely be back!

Great meal celebrating a birthday yesterday with friendly and attentive staff and a pleasant atmosphere.

Thank you to Adam and Dean for the perfectly battered fish goujons! I took my elderly parents to the Brown Hare for a meal today (30th June). My Mum loves fish but only if it’s very lightly batters and not overcooked.. the goujons were perfect. She loved her meal and it made my day to see both my parents happy. Also the lovely helpful bubbly bartender with red hair (I’m so sorry but I can’t remember her name!) makes our visit super special each time she’s on duty.

we were served by abby who was very kind and friendly :)

Great meal & well looked after by Abby. Thanks!

Excellent service, cheap beer prices and friendly service

This was a prize I won for a two course meal for four. Sacha, the Manager, let me know who was great in communication & organising the visit. I went with my husband & two daughters. We were well looked after by the assistant manager. We all had a scrumptious starter & three had Steak Americano off the grills menu, I had the Lamb shank! Me & my husband has dined here quite a lot usually for the steaks, always great food.

Evelyn was an efficient and friendly server

Loved every second of it and the chef Adam yeah his cooking is so good had my mouth watering and everything 10/10 would come back just for Adam’s cooking it was amazing loved it! Give Adam a raise

There was a bunch of lads spoilt it for my wife and I they where loud and obnoxious f ing it a c ing it all in front of customers and kids I asked the manager to do something about it he went over to speak to them it worked for about 5 mins then it started again should they have been shown the door its unacceptable for this in a restaurant I was very upset about it.

A lovely family night, with food and drinks.

Fabi our waitress, so helpful and friendly. A delight to be served by her. Excellent food cooked by chef Adam. Will definitely return soon.

Lovely venue. Table staff member Fabi was wonderful. Excellent worker, very friendly and kept the kids entertained with her playful attitude. She couldn't have been more helpful. Also Adam the kitchen staff was great. We turned up slightly late and he kindly kept the kitchen open for us. All in all, excellent meal, will definitely be back.

Today's visit was exceptional service from Sacha and the team. Very generous portions with the squid the highlight. Friendly staff too.

Popped in on way to the pretty muddy event in Preston. Accommodated our need to be quick as needed be at Moor Park within a set time frame. Kitchen opened early to allow us time to eat and have time to settle before event. Thank you to all the team.

Really good pub food with excellent staff and superb service

They go above and beyond to make you feel comfortable. The breakfast for the armed forces breakfast club are pretty good and reasonably priced . The sausages just need to come a bit more browned as they look undercooked but they’re not. They’re isn’t anything you can’t ask for either. Great morning had by us all

The service was exceptional, the staff friendly and welcoming, and the food was prepared quickly but was still delicious. Top marks all round!

Fabi is a top top lady 👍ok girl Great service ❤️

Fabi was our waitress, she was a star xx

Booked into The Brown Hare for the first time this evening, we were greeted by the lovely Fabi, who took us to our table and presented menus and got our drinks sorted. Once we got our drinks, the lovely Evelyn took our orders. Our food came in timely fashion, Chef Adam, our food was delicious!!! As was our pudding. The place was clean, the atmosphere was friendly, the food was well presented, moist and tasty. Fabi, Evelyn and Adam, thank you! We’ll most definately be back!! x

Haven't been in a while. Food was really nice - better than before. Great friendly service.

Great night, will be at the next one

Attended family bingo night for cash for kids charity, great atmosphere, great good, fantastic prizes - well done to the team on putting on such a good community event. Will definitely be back if there's another event 🙂

Bingo night was really fun enjoyed it and was a good night out! Would turn up to a karaoke night if they had one!

Beth was brilliant at the bingo calling. Fabi was a lovely bar maid with beautiful eyeliner.

Brilliant loved bingo more nights like this and karaoke we love the quiz as well

Bingo was a really good evening and all the staff are amazing

Good hot food. Reasonably priced. Excellent service and food came quickly. Nice surroundings and good outside area. Staff very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Won't hesitate to go back. Give it a try as it's a little gem.

First time coming to the brown hare & the food was amazing! Didn’t have to wait long at all, would definitely recommend! Also heard they do quiz night & other evenings, the atmosphere was nice & relaxed while we were there. Thank you to the staff for making our first time enjoyable!

Great place with great service we found it very friendly and welcoming
