The Hare in Harrow

Really amazing service and fantastic food.

Really nice vibe and good food but not 5*. Plenty of parking. Impressive range of zero alcohol drinks. Welcomed our baby.

Very good food, superb service, ample safe parking, excellent outside area for the summer, highly recommended.

My husband and I had a fabulous meal at The Hare last night, in fact it was one of the best meals we have had in a long while, the Souffle was AMAZING! The service was great and it's a really lovely venue. We will definitely be back.

We enjoyed an excellent meal - we particularly liked the pistachio souffle. Not something you would usually get in a pub restaurant and was really endulgent. Would recommend booking a table in advance as it was very busy - a good sign it is a popular place!

Sadly this local gem is no longer performing. The food is sadly underwhelming. The Large Souffle remains the best offering on the menu and was, indeed, large. However, the Steak and Ale pie requires and magnifying glass to see it. The tiny pie was more pastry than filling. Food was cold and any vegetables were overcooked. Portions small. Spirits were served with mixers added despite us asking for them on the side. We were obliged to order another shot so as to taste the drink. More profit but less customer satisfaction. If you run a bar then the barman needs to listen and understand. I can't recommend the Hare in its current form, sadly.

We love this place, had pur wedding dinner there and keep coming back for occasional treats. Staff is veey nice always welcoming, food is great and the atmosphere is always great

Excellent food and service. The onion soup and Guinness Welsh Rarebit were delicious. Would highly recommend.

We love it here! It’s so good :)

We really enjoyed our food, both the steak and cheese soufflé were yummy. The steak was done exactly as asked. We were very well looked after by Leo and Tabish. Tabish has made us feel very welcome every time we have come to the pub. We look forward to seeing him when we come.

The menu is distinctly Gallic in persuasion, and fairly ambitious, I might add. The four of us who dined chose a varied selection of courses, and the execution was (nearly) flawless, so I should say "un travail bien fait!". The waitstaff were efficient and courteous, but I would in particular mention Tabish for his exemplary hospitality. I expect to return for another fine meal.

Although the food was excellent I wasn’t able to finish my portion of cheese soufflé and asked if I could have a take away container in order to avoid food wastage. I was told that it is not a take away restaurant and hence there was no containers available. Instead I was handed sheets of large foil paper to pack the food myself in the foil - which was not a nice experience being watched but other diners and had to sign a disclaimer form! This ruined the entire experience of what was otherwise a great evening. Surely the restaurant cannot be encouraging food waste in this day and age when everything is so expensive and the government is battling against food wastage in the hospitality and food industry.

Went thre after 8 years!!..Delighted to see under new management ( I think)...and delicious food!! ..would definitely recomend it and go back! Thank you!!

Food , some with strong flavours like the French Onion Soup 🍲 & Cod Fillet served in clean & ambient surroundings by friendly staff. Promotional Offers include having to pay the Full Price for the Starter!

The duck breast and dauphinoise potatoes were absolutely divine. Lovely atmosphere. Definitely recommend.

This is a wonderful establishment that I have frequented many times, and will continue to do so. We recently had our work Christmas lunch here. The service was excellent and the food was delicious. Our group ended up staying for around four hours, as the atmosphere was so festive and welcoming. If I could add another star, I would! Happy New Year to all of the hard-working staff at The Hare!

Pheasant and venison sausage and mash was outstanding. My husband got beef burger , he said the patty was slightly dry. However we have been here several times now, food has always been great. Desserts are okay.

Everything was fantastic. The food exquisite, the service first rate and the atmosphere was welcoming.

Excellent Sunday roast and cannot fault the service. Definitely recommended and will return again.

Thank you so much for making my father's 92nd birthday so special 🎉

I’ve been a regular visitor here and always been pretty happy with the food but last night I noticed a big drop in quality of the food and/or the cooking. Burgers way overcooked and the meat patty very dense. The chicken dish had way too much salt in it such that I can still feel the effects during the morning after. Generally the pub seems to have started sliding downhill and I hope this review will stimulate the owners to re-look at how they do things.

The food was exceptional; delicious, beautifully presented, and served with outstanding service. 5 stars to all of the team. Well deserved

Excellent atmosphere, service, and the food was just perfect. Felt a little pricey, but the overall atmosphere and excellent food is worth it. We will be back...

Just been to The Hare again for my birthday celebration , we were warmly greeted by the manager and Jackson and Leo and Erica are superb members of staff too, The food is superb but the staff are just exceptional and make every visit we have there , and we go regularly, a truly special occasion . A very special place to go and we love it !

This is the place to go for ambience and great food. The meat (pork ribeye) is tender and flavoursome and the dauphinoise divine! Great service too. I recommend!

Really friendly attentive staff who make you feel welcome. Food is well presented and delicious. Great place for lunch or dinner Update! Today Jackson and his team made our family lunch for 12 people really special. Nothing was too much trouble, the food and drink were fabulous and we all had a great time. Thank you all!

Great place, food always good, staff lovely fab place

A delightful menu and a great ambiance coupled with outstanding service made our Christmas eve lunch really memorable. We enjoyed the crab bites, onion soup, celeriac and beef with coconut rice but the star of the meal was the decadent chocolate dessert. A big thank you to Tabish for his attentive service throughout the meal and excellent recommendations. We are already looking forward to our next visit.

Cosy warm pub. Christmas set meal was disappointing however, made to be too "fancy" - would have preferred a good traditional roast. Overall pleasant experience, nice staff.

Efficient booking online, friendly service, delicious food for a family lunch. What's not to like? Highly recommend.

The restaurant offers a warm and inviting ambiance, perfect for a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience. The food was nothing short of exquisite, with each dish beautifully presented and bursting with flavor—a true treat for the senses. The highlight of our visit was the outstanding service provided by Tabish, who went above and beyond to make our meal memorable. From the attentive recommendations to the friendly and professional demeanor, Tabish's exceptional service truly elevated our experience. A must-visit for anyone seeking great food paired with impeccable hospitality.

Delicious food, beautiful ambience and 5 star service from Tabish today, truly exceptional

Lovely atmosphere and very tasty food, Tabish was brilliant, amazing service 👏

Warm, welcoming atmosphere, delicious food and excellent and attentive service from Vivek. Will definitely go again. Very enjoyable.

Really enjoyed my visit to The Hare, food was very good and service excellent

Really nice country style pub, bit steep with prices but nice atmosphere.

The Owner (that is how this man described himself) came flying at me and my cute little dog, after I had put him on my lap and commanded me in a very rude manner to put the dog on the floor. My little furry friend has recently been diagnosed with a tumor and I wanted to treat him in which used to be a very dog friendly place and one of his favourites to go to. It is obvious that the owner and the people that were with him, don't really like, in fact, seem to have a strong dislike, if not hatred (that is how it came across) for dogs. I will never put a foot in that place again, the way I have been treated and spoken to, with quite a lot of hostility actually. The owner seems to just love the money and hates the important buddies of his customers. That man and his attitude does not gel with our English traditions. It's a shame when places like this lose their former beautiful traditional atmosphere because of people who refuse to fit in and just want what they want out of it.

We had lunch and a little walk around

Had a delicious sirloin steak and crumble to finish. Served by the lovely Tabbish who made us feel so welcome! Will be back

We had lunch with two friends who had eaten here before. Lovely restaurant. Good menu and we went with the November menu. All three courses were delicious and we all enjoyed the food. One of our party needed gluten free food and there was good allergy advice from the server. Good service though our only gripe was that one if our friends ordered a coffee that was served in a glass with no handle which made it difficult to drink without wearing thick gloves. Why??

Always a great place to eat, food was delicious, service wonderful.

Excellent. Surpassed my expectations. Quality of food and service was top-notch.

Love this place, food is always amazing and lovely atmosphere. Tabish always makes us feel so welcome and puts in lots of effort!

One of the best restaurants. Food was simply amazing, tasty and made with care. Staff was very polite and smiling faces! Definitely going to come back!

The best gastropub in Harrow by far. Great food, ambience and service. Vegetarian options are not an after thought. Also love that they have plenty of healthy options rather than fried and fast food. Having said that - must leave room for dessert!

Brilliant evening. Food, drinks and service excellent.

pint of guinness is £6.45 more of a restaurant than a pub - but this place is really good - friendly staff - they serve guinness - good food though we only happened to have finger foods with our drinks on this occasion - great location

Visited The Hare for a Sunday Roast - looked really busy so was hoping for a lovely meal. We were all really disappointed - the food was tasteless, cold and the portion size was much to be desired. For an adult meal only given 3 roast potatoes and 3 carrots and a tiny jug of gravy to share.. only after mentioning what a small portion these were did we get extra with the comments that they give small portions to avoid waste. Will not be returning.

Proper country pub vibe, but with a good atmosphere - great food and really nice staff

Friendly Monday night meal with friends. Quiet environment with attentive staff and good food.

My partner and I had an absolutely outstanding evening at The Hare. From start to finish, the experience was flawless. The food was simply exquisite—every dish we tried was exceptional. The Cheese Soufflé was light and delicious, the Crab Bon-Bons were perfectly crisp and flavourful, and the Pheasant Sausage and Pork Rib Eye were cooked to perfection. To top it all off, the Pistachio Soufflé was a delightful end to the meal. Our waiter, Vivek, truly elevated the experience. His knowledge of the menu and drinks was impressive, and he was incredibly attentive, personable, and full of humour, which made our evening even more enjoyable. It’s rare to come across service of this calibre. The Hare is definitely a place we’ll be returning to, and we highly recommend it for anyone looking for an unforgettable dining experience.

Great pub and restaurant with helpful staff in countryside surrounding.

Our second recent visit and on each occasion we were well treated and the food is excellent, Steak Wednesday is a good experience.

Friendly staff, lovely atmosphere, enjoyed a lovely mid week celebratory dinner. Very reasonably priced dinner which included a bottle of wine, very happy overall.

Beautiful place, nice atmosphere. The food very good and tasty. The only minus the price of the wine, really expensive for lower quality.

I’ve heard this place is lovely for Sunday lunch but we went there for a Saturday dinner and wouldn’t be going back. Service was so slow despite not being busy, food was expensive and portions were absolutely tiny. Quality of food is decent but just overpriced and small. Spent almost 85 quid on two meals, one kids meal and one dessert only to be hungry leaving. Super disappointing. Won’t be back.

A lovely British Pub (more like a restauraunt in terms of quality) - with great food ! The cheese soufflé as a starter and the pistachio soufflé as dessert and everything in between was great! Service is exemplary especially our server Tabish - very attentive , great advice on the food selection and just made you feel at home ! Their garden is very lovely for a sunny day ! Highly recommend this place

Brilliant pub with friendly service and great food. I had the pork with the dauphinoise potatoes and it was delicious as was the basque cheesecake dessert!

Service food and atmosphere is always great. You never disappoint

Had a birthday lunch on Friday . Food was excellent and service provided by Tabish was fantastic .

OMG! Stopped here on a whim after a tennis tournament, so glad we did! Rump steak and Beef and Ale pie were amazing! Staff were friendly and quick service. Will definitely stop here again👌🏼

Leo hosted us for our visit and he was brilliant! He was attentive without being overbearing, we felt comfortable and taken care of. We couldn't ask for more. The food was great as usual, French-inspired but without the sterile lack of soul. Hearty but well crafted.

Exceptional food (gourmet pub) with the loveliest service. I was meeting an old and dear friend and we strung out for nearly 3 hours a very light lunch and at no point were we rushed out made to feel anything but welcome. Very impressive and not expensive at all for what you get.

The best meal I’ve had in a long time. Thanks

Exceptionally well prepared food, with warm, really attentive and knowledgeable service from Jackson. I'm almost reluctant to recommend it so highly, for fear it'll be over-subscribed, but you will not recommend Sunday lunch.

Great experience at the Hare today Tabish was brilliant not fazed when it’s busy just an excellent service all round thankyou we will be back Milton & Sarah x

Wow has it changed since I first was there. Inside and outside seating. Excellent service. Good choice of food, very gourmet. Close to old Redding and Gilbert's residence the Grimsdyke Hotel.

Lovely restaurant with quality set menu as well as à la carte. Friendly service.

I booked an event here yesterday and the staff were absolutely amazing. They were so well organised and accommodating every step of the way. Highly recommend if you want to book an event or even stroll there for a lovely lunch. The covered outdoor area is really pretty. But especially want to give huge credit to the staff here they really are the best. The food was also top notch. Lovely experience and made the day really special

Very poor food with little flavour and thus overpriced for what you get. We used to love this place but the food and service have both gone downhill unfortunately.

Amazing food especially the new summer lunch menu which was perfect in this weather. Tabish gave us excellent service and was beautiful settings in their garden. Will be back ASAP!!

Nice place with great staff but over priced

Had a lovely evening here celebrating my partner's birthday, the staff were so friendly and the food was amazing, must visit if you're in the area!

Another wonderful meal at The Hare - we have been numerous times and the meals are always delicious. Today’s was no exception - the summer dishes were fresh and full of flavour. Exceptionally good service from Tabish too - thank you!

The Sunday Roasts we have ordered are excellent. The services provided by Tabish was great and considerate.

First time and definitely not my last. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable

Interesting, mouthwatering menu. My friend has been three times in a week and loves it here.

Went for lunch and sat outside.. Lovely garden just wasn't keen on the music coming from the TV.. Tinny and inappropriate choice considering the customers were mostly OAPs

Oh. My. Gosh. This pub is wondrous. The food has been revamped and they're beating European standards with a fusion cuisine, good choices, tasty and fresh ingredients and an apple & rhubarb crumble that's simply excellent. As well as that the atmosphere is steady and sociable, service attentive and drink selection very good indeed. Keep it up and this place will be a legend!

The Hare really shouldn't exist, it should just be an element in my dreams! You'd have to know your outer north-west London, on the Herts border, to ever find this place on your own. But, fortunately, word of mouth is spreading its whereabouts quite well enough. The basics are simple: Well-kept drinks and a chef who is master of his craft. Add outside drinking and dining, if that's what you like, space for kids and a large, but unobtrusive, car park. It should be obvious, and The Hare proves that getting those essentials right makes for a destination experience that you'll want to repeat time and again.

Beautiful pub and excellent garden with great food and drink selection. The team are accommodating, friendly and professional. 5 stars.

Every Sunday after church I take my 5 kids and wife and we get in our 2006 Chevy Tahoe and will drive so fast over the North Atlantic Ocean that we’re able to stay afloat so we can dine here. The food is amazing and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a good meal.

Overpriced menu. Menu has changed and not for the better, steak and ale pie was awful, very greasy batter on the fish and the gammon dish was too dry

We hadnt been here for over 10 years! Until last night. The parking was ample, service was impeccable! Food amazing, so tasty and well presented. Pistachio souffle was to die for! All at a reasonable price! Keep up the good work ladies and gentlemen!

Big Shout out to Leo who went above and beyond for me. Not long had shoulder surgery and he didn't hesitate to offer to bring everything over to our table in the garden to save me carrying anything. What a lovely mannered, pleasant young man. When I thanked him he said ‘honestly it was nothing, I'm just doing my job’ - well actually it was everything to me and a delight to see a young man with such empathy. Thank you Leo!

Food portion size could be bigger was good service was better.

Family meal. Served by Tanesh. Superb food and service x

Jackson the manager was rude when talking and did not want to address any issues properly. The staff and management have changed for the worse in this pub, which used to be outstanding. Very disappointing and would not be visiting again any time soon.

My first visit, but four others in our group of six had been to this restaurant before. The building must be 150+ years old, but it looks welcoming inside. There is seating outside too, but may only be suitable on warmer days. There are many parking spaces. I entered the car park via Brookshill, but I'm not sure if there's an entrance on Old Redding too--they should add this detail on their website. My wife and I opted for their steak and ale pie, but we asked for chips instead of mashed potatoes--mashed potatoes are one of man's worst inventions. The pie was délicieux! Can they improve this? Yes, make the crust thinner, if possible. For dessert, I went for the pistachio soufflé. Brilliant. I would have liked it twice the size.🤠 This review won't be complete without complimenting the staff. We were served by a young man called Tabish. We all felt very pleased with the way he looked after us. Would I recommend this place? Try it, you may be delighted.

Perfect night out for father's day. Highly recommended the food, service and atmosphere. The kids loved the garden too!

I went with my dad for lunch here on Wednesday. What a treat! Set lunch three courses for £23.50...I think. Fabulous value. Different from standard pub menu; more like a good restaurant. 1: Courgette and garlic soup (much nicer than it sounds) 2: Smoked haddock with risotto and egg. Yum! 3: Mango and nougat something for dessert; interesting and delicious Interesting and delicious don't always go together, but it clearly does at The Hare for lunch The service from waiter Tabish was exceptional; very professional and friendly. He's clearly quite proud to work for this company (I think it's one of Raymond Blanc's pub/restaurants) and they are lucky to have such a nice young man on board in the team. And... Comfy chairs (unlike the uncomfortable wooden and wicker ones in many London restaurants) And finally: Proper serviettes (not bits of tissue like in most restaurants these days) Is this important? Really? Oh yes it is. It shows attention to detail in customer care. I really look forward to coming back for lunch with Dad (87 years old!) soon.

I always have excellent food at The Hare. Staff are also friendly & attentive. Yesterday my friend Susan and I were looked after by Tabish. Thank you for a lovely afternoon.

very nice, cozy and what was pleasant for us was that we could take our dog with us, where they offered water and treats for the dog... the food is delicious, the service is super 5+ We will definitely visit you again 🤗🤗🤗🤗

Family of 4. Wait for food was reasonable. Friendly staff. Food was delicious. I was disappointed in the size of my half chicken and missing wing, but was told that it was a half chicken.... I had the cheesecake dessert which was really, really delicious.

Great views, atmosphere and the garden.

Visited for lunch on a number of occasions- consistently good food & service each time

Love this warm and cosy pub in the middle of nowhere :) Food and service were great and we loved the ambience. Perfect for a nice evening without too much of noise. Look forward to more evenings there...

Unfortunately they don’t accept cash, so I will not be coming back here. Kids portion sizes are ridiculous (very small). Edit - well you should have a look at that , cash is legal tender.

Truly a wonderful place for dinner and cocktails. Tabish was very welcoming, we appreciate him for making our night special! Would recommend to anyone in the area

It was my first time trying the roasts, and the food was great as always. I had a very nice Sunday lunch. The cheese soufflés are always a guaranteed winner, and I had the roast beef for my main. The atmosphere was pleasant, and the staff were very friendly and helpful
