Never been here before pulled in on the off chance on a Saturday afternoon fantastic welcome by the landlady. My wife had a Ploughman. I had a ham, egg and chips. My wife said it was the best PLANS she’d ever had and my ham and chips was spot on give it a try you won’t be disappointed and great value for money.

This pub is single handedly the worst place I have ever been. The most unwelcoming staff and the food was atrocious. Only the locals are appreciated here, AVOID AT ALL COSTS

If the number of stars were a reflection of how miserable and rude the barman (owner?) was at this otherwise perfectly functional pub, I would use the Hubble Deep-Field image to describe the service we received. Despite the four of us ordering five rounds his demeanour got worse each time we approached the bar almost like the idea of us giving him more of our money was abhorrent and having patrons in his pub was incomprehensibly vile. At one point, determined to get even a tiny spark of life out of the guy, I tried to strike up a conversation about the Olympics which was playing on the tv and was completely ignored. Then just after 10 we were unceremoniously asked to leave as he was closing early. It truly was a joyous place to frequent, thank heaven’s we still had a good time regardless.

Visited on a Wednesday night as a group and barman couldn’t have been less interested in serving us. Pleases and thank yous missing and dirty looks when we bothered him for a round of drinks. Chucked out at ten as he wanted to close early - a pub for the locals I think.

Attended a wonderful wedding here last weekend. Such a lovely friendly atmosphere - staff were really friendly, food was excellent and everyone had a smile on their faces the whole day! Football was on and this didn’t detract from an amazing day at all. Well done Hare and Hounds - highest recommendation to you.

Today 23/3/2023 my partner and myself decided to have lunch at the Hare and Hounds. The time was 14:45 and I was aware that the kitchen closed at 15:00. That being said we were greated very unfriendly with "We close at three. I shall see if the kitchen will do anything". The place was empty, and very dull. The staff were more interested in the racing on the TV. I was asked to pay the bill before we had even sat down to eat. We ordered panini, which when arrived it was very mediocre. This was the first and last time I will be using this place, and neither will I be recommending it.

What a lovely pub! Friendly, attentive service. And absolutely superb food, Squid and prawn starters were beautifully cooked. And the Sunday roasts were incredible. Generous and beautifully cooked. Between us we tried the chicken, beef and pork belly, My husband reckons the roast potatoes were the best he had had in a pub. Finished off with home made gypsy tart. Wow. Super sweet but absolutely lovely. Dog friendly as well. Perfect pub for a Sunday afternoon.

Lovely place, my friend and I just popped in to check out this local pub, and we have stayed for dinner there. The atmosphere was really friendly and inviting. Service was really good as the kitchen was almost closed, but they decided to feed us anyway 😁 we had a few bears, garlic mushrooms for starter, and cod fishcakes for main. It was really yummy. We definitely will return there 😁

A fairly well-worn pub on the A20. One decent ale on (Doombar) which was up to standard. Sadly we visited because we were attending a wake - the food provided was good and hopefully the quality is reflected in the normal menu. Parking is a bit of an issue.

Took my wife for a Sunday roast and a week day lunch. For the roast my wife had chicken and I had lamb, both meals were cooked beautifully with plenty of veg, we also had a dessert which were very good. For the week day lunch I had beef stew and dumplings which was delicious and freshly made and my wife had her favourite, cod chips and mushy peas which she said was the best she'd had in a long time. Everything was well presented and we were looked after well by Mark and his staff. And the prices were very reasonable considering everything was freshly cooked. This is a lovely pub on the outskirts of Ashford. Book a week before for Sunday lunch or you might be disappointed.

This place is horrendous I'm not a complainer unless I have to !! We all had roast either chicken Ken or beef 17 of us so a large booking .....the beef and chicken needed a defibrillator not even exaggeration lumps of chewy red meat rare on plates you could not even chew the chicken was undercooked pink in the middle the roast potatoes were disgusting the cauliflower cheese was not even grilled to finish off the whole thing was disgusting but when I complained I was faced with verbal abuse by management and staff the place was a joke I asked for our money back which I got but I asked them for photos of our food and they took the plates pretty sharp .....we ended up going to the beefeater !!!!! Jokes AVOID you ruined my mum's birthday she could even touch her dinner disgusting and yes I know beef is pink but not flesh and raw flesh is what was on our plates Filth no wonder it was empty 🤔

we had a party of 17 and had booked sunday lunch, it was the worse sunday lunch most of us have ever experienced , the food was appalling uncooked pink chicken breast on the bone, meat so chewy it had to be swallowed in lumps if you ate it at all, uncooked roast potatoes, cooked frozen veg, bisto gravy granules gravy only 4 out of 17 dinners were eaten the rest were left mostly on the plate, lucky the owners knew it was bad and refunded us the money, but it didnt compensate for a ruined day, if you like your food cooked properly and fresh avoid this pub

It is very easy to whizz along the A20 and not even consider using this typical looking English country pub. Next time you are looking for a place to eat, use The Hare & Hounds. It is family owned and run, so forget the usual corporate Beefeater/Burger/Grill menu. The food is of a genuinely homemade style. We have had several lunches there now, with friends, different meals, and each time the food has been consistently good. We will certainly visit again next year when we are back in the area (we may even drive there specially).

Have not been to the Hare and Hounds in such a long time, why did I wait. Met up with a friend for a catch up, ok a gossip...like ladies at lunch do. We spent a good few hours sitting under the umbrells on a hot day. Was fairly busy, but safe distancing and masks worn. The menu was varied and reasonably priced. We had the cheese and ham ploughmans and drinks. Ploughmans was nicely presented, all the usual trimmings, warm rolls and crackers. Very filling, and enjoyable. Service was prompt and non intrusive. Worth the money, and will visit again, hopefully not leave it too long this time.

Singleton Barn is a very accommodating and welcoming place to be, as well as accessible and disability-friendly. There is level access, double doors for wheelchairs and buggies, and a disabled toilet that is sizable enough to fit a wheelchair and assistance dog if needed. Disposable hand towels for autistic children etc in lieu of a hand dryer too. Sight-loss educated staff who pointed out where the card reader, cutlery and food items were without being made to feel othered etc. Kind, polite and helpful. The food quality is phenomenal, with generous portions for a hearty pub meal after a walk on a cold winter’s day. Photo attached to give a general impression of the interior. Calm ambiance, warming decor, family friendly atmosphere.

What a delightful gem in the heart of town! My partner and I stopped by on a whim today and were pleasantly surprised. The service was attentive, quick, and delivered with a smile. It was heartwarming to see the café acting as a welcoming hub for the older generation, with staff so familiar with their regulars that they knew their orders before they even sat down. This is exactly what a cafe should be! The portions were generous, and the value for money was outstanding. We’ll definitely be back!
