The Hare is always consistently good and the menu is updated regularly and they try different flavours to keep the menu interesting. The staff are lovely and drinks list also excellent

Had a very light lunch, which was very good. Staff were pleasant. Place was clean. Parking, though, is always a challenge. You have to get there early to be able to park in one of the few places out the front. Otherwise you have to park on the road alongside the pub and village green.

Visited for late Sunday lunch. The food was nice but they had run out of Yorkshire and Mac and cheese. They offered us more roasties but we already had plenty of these. It doesn't take a few minutes to bash out a batter for Yorkshire so I don't understand why they couldn't provide these. So we ended up short of two of the elements of our lunch but no reduction in price. We paid for the full lunch but only got part of it which in hindsight does not seem right. As a final comment, the service was quite slow.

On this occasion I very disappointed with both my starter and main course In my opinion the food was not prepared to order Starters was Crispy Squid, 6 small pieces, batter soft and dark brown not battered and fried fresh. Main course Hake again the same certainly not pan fried to order. I will say this for myself is a one off as I have been using the hare for many years, and certainly Hopei its a one off

Good range of choices on the menu - which is updated online daily. The service was efficient and the food very good. For those not drinking alcohol there is a good selection of drinks at reasonable prices. Not the Hare's fault but he only negative was there were some diners on a couple of tables nearby who I can only assume work in a high decibel environment and "spoke" very loudly.

Went for lunch today but a rather uptight blond waitress was quite rude about us finding a table for 5 inside or outside. We've eaten here before and loved it but this lady in her orange/yellow dress was so rude that I don't think we'll ever go back just because of her shirty attitude. We asked for a table for 5 outside and she said she didn't have one. I then asked if she had one inside and maybe when an outside table becomes available we could move as we have two young kids (4 and 5). She then said "no, I have nothing for 5, only for 2!" I said okay thank you and we left...as we left she spoken under her breath: "as I told you!" - this behaviour is rude and completely uncalled for, she clearly thinks she owns the place but she rather needs a talking too and teaching about how to be a polite human and waitress!!!

Tina’s customer service, warmth and genuine personality is such a treat and a rarity today. Gabor anticipated all our needs, a great example of customer service excellence. Really made our day! All the staff we saw were brilliant. A great team and excellent management. Thank you so much. The beef steak was absolutely beautiful. The scallops were perfect and the pork steak was also excellent. A really lovely lunch experience. Will visit again soon. Thank you all of you!

Its a popular pub so be prepared to wait a long time for your food. I wish they had told us before we ordered yesterday that it would take an hour to arrive as the kitchen was so busy. One of the reasons I wouldnt bring children here. Good food but really not worth the wait in the end.

Haven't been to this pub in a number of years but thought the food had definitely gone downhill a bit. I ordered the poached salmon salad which, according to the menu, came with tenderstem broccoli and asparagus. When it came out, I had standard broccoli, green beans and sugar snap peas and the latter two looked a little on the brown side. I also had a side portion of chips, which tasted like oven chips from the supermarket. Friends had burgers, a pie and the moussaka, all of which looked ok. However, my friend with the steak and ale pie found quite a substantial piece of bone in it! The kitchen agreed to take £3 off the bill....how generous. The sticky toffee pudding was nice, especially given it was gluten free. Service was good, if a little slow. It's a nice pub, but it could do a lot better with the presentation and food quality.

On one of our first holidays in England we stayed at Robert's House in Langton Greene and went to the Hare for dinner almost every evening. Unfortunately, the cottage hasn't been available to rent for holidays for ages, but the pub is still there. Fortunately! We try to stop on every holiday in England. Unfortunately, the collection of night pots has now disappeared, but the food remains good.

Visiting the area as private hospital nearby so went for lunch with my dog. The food was nice enough but I was made to feel so unwelcome from the moment I walked in by a female member of staff. She was very offish that it almost felt hostile! Maybe she doesn’t like dogs or my adidas tracksuit but either way my review is judged on her terrible customer service! The bar lady Jill that served me however was lovely and couldn’t have been nicer! Thanks Jill

The unfortunate thing is that you don’t get much for your money. I thought that I would treat myself to the halibut, it was nearly £27 and I got the smallest piece of tail end of fish that I’ve ever been served with one piece of tortellini. The dish was tasty but it was served in a huge bowl with not very much in it and I was still hungry afterwards :0(

We visited on Valentine’s Day. My partner ordered a chicken burger which apparently came with pancetta. His burger came with the tiniest bit of bacon I could ever see (it’s embarrassing that they even served it) , a tea spoon of coleslaw and an extremely small portion of fries. Considering their prices have gone up and that meal was nearly £20 I would expect a much bigger portion. Very disappointed. It’s definitely gone down hill which is a shame.

A lovely looking pub with small dining rooms and a conservatory, which is where we ate. Service was very good and quite speedy. It was quite busy, so obviously popular. I would recommend the small puddings and drinks combo which is approximately £8. Mains were over-priced imo. We don't live locally so probably won't go again.

We've just had a Boxing day dinner here and we chose the 2 courses for £42.95. The pork main and the apple tart was very nice but my goodness the portions were small. 1 roll of pork, small piece of crackling, 1 carrot, 1 ball of potato, some kale and 1/2 a teaspoon of apple puree. Apple tart was with ice cream in a nice caramel/toffee sauce, but again really small. I was initially worried about being able to eat 2 courses as I usually only eat a main, but I've actually come away wanting more to eat.

Nicely located at the crossroads in Langton Green. However this does make parking a bit messy for those who don't know the area. Official pub parking spaces are limited so it's first come, first served. Always reliable for its food, especially the main meals. Some lunch menu items such as sandwiches are generally less good, if I'm honest. The biggest negative though is the price of drinks. This pub is one of the most expensive in the area, unfortunately. Overall though other factors win through, such as Becca the manager, hence my 5 stars.

It’s a friendly place, we have been coming here for over 25 years. Recently they have refreshed the decor, with old adverts and period pictures. The food is good solid pub food. I had the steak and ale pie, others had the Thai curry and the beef salad. The warm bread starter was delicious. The fact that dining is in a series of small rooms adds to the attraction. They have a range of cask beers, a must for any pub.

Part of the acclaimed Brunning & Price chain of gastro-pubs, the Hare has typically excellent ambience and decor, slick service with lots of attentive waiting staff and first rate food, although our main course was uncharacteristically slow to arrive, for which they did apologise and it was Sunday lunchtime rush hour. The only gripe is the inadequate parking at such a popular venue. The pub has a few free spaces outside otherwise you have to find free on-street parking nearby. There are residential side-roads off the A264 either side of the nearby Esso petrol station going east towards Tunbridge Wells you can park in which are a short walk back if all else fails. Highly recommended.
