The Hare at Old Redding in Harrow

The service was exceptional and the food was superb. The cheese soufflé with cheddar sauce is to die for!

For the money they charge - £25 for 3 courses the quality is exceptionally good. The service was efficient and friendly and all the food we had was delicious. A firm local favourite.

We hadn’t visited The Hare for a couple of years as we had been disappointed by it then, but we had a wonderful meal there on Sunday. Great outdoor area and the waitress was great. It is a fantastic pub/restaurant and will now become one of our regular places to go!

We enjoyed a really lovely late afternoon meal at The Hare today. Tranquil atmosphere outside where we ate the most delicious food. I chose the Confit Barbary duck leg with citrus sauce - it was so tasty- l could have eaten it all over again. My husband's Cornish beef burger looked equally delicious and my son's West Country lamb perfect. We couldn't resist the Pistachio souffle. ....so mouthwatering! One of the most delightful puddings l have ever tucked into.Our waitress Maxine was friendly, and very at ease with customers. If only everyone you met was so charming. Compliments to her and their great chef..You must visit if you want to experience some excellent food. We drove up from Lyme Regis this morning...what a great way to end our day...

Lovely little pub totally spoilt by the arrogant Italian waiter /Owner/ Barman! Waited 13 mins after track n trace scan - got fed up waiting and being 100% ignored as a customer, not even a ‘I’ll be with you on a minute’. So sat down….. waited another 14 minutes for my other half to get two drinks. Meanwhile arrogant waiter came to the table and said I’d sat at a dirty table. Hello! Why didn’t you clean it after the last person left!!!?? Can’t sit outside unless you open a tab - Well I’m not sitting inside, it’s lovely weather and we are sitting in the pub garden. Meanwhile others were coming in and being ignored by arrogant waiter and Lady (think owner again), sitting at tables that hadn’t been cleared or cleaned after last person(s) sat there, only because they also had been 100% ignored. Ok if you’re going to make a song and dance about cleaning, clean it properly, clean the seats as well as the tables but not with the cloth you’ve just dropped on the floor where the dog was sittingWith its owner. She left a lovely dirty table for the next person - where she put the dog food dish (that the dog had just been slobbering over) on the table where food was bought out and placed, on the table that you hadn’t cleaned and the table that someone else sat on to eat their food! Next time perhaps Mr Italian Waiter don’t be so rude to your customers as clearly you picked on the wrong one! You got your review 1 out of 10. Oh that’s for 20% gratuity that you stuck on our bill for arrogant service, arrogant communication and no food!! Yes people out there this did happen 100%, so possibly give this one some thought.

We were genuinely excited about being able to have dinner at The Hare last night. We were not disappointed, as usual the food wine, service and professionalism was first class.The Moroccan starter was very tasty, Stone Bass and Burger exceptional but the Rhubarb crumble was to die for. We'll be back soon. We've missed you guys.

warm welcome and excellent service. So pleased to get out again and the staff made it special... attentive but not over fussy. Food really gd and waiter able to make suggestions that we really enjoyed. Great atmosphere and good wine. Lovely evening thank you.

Had a fantastic evening in this restaurant, the food was amazing! The service was outstanding, with particular reference to Marcelo. COVID precautions were exceptional, the restaurant was very clean and the staff were adhering to policies, so we felt very safe. Can’t wait to come back and would not hesitate to recommend.

The Hare was welcoming guests for the last day until after this lockdown so the atmosphere was quite lively. \The food, with their new chef, was really good and the portions generous. Some of the staff were friendly but that would be only slight downside - the inattentiveness of the staff, That said, once we hailed someone, they were polite and dealt with our requests.Certain to return as soon as they re-open

We went to the Hare today at 1.45 we didn’t book as being open all day we thought it wouldn’t be hard to get a table on entering we were met by a rude host asking if we had a booking when I said we didn’t he offered us a table behind the entrance when I said sorry people are coming in and it’s cold by the door he immediately ignored us I asked for another table and he didn’t bother to even acknowledge us he was without doubt the most rude man to be a host and greet customers we live around the corner and have often had an enjoyable experience never again lately people are saying how it’s changed now we can see why.

Very spur of the moment and very lucky to get a table last minute in order to beat the new lockdown rules, we thought we would pop out and make the most of revisiting this restaurant that we always very much enjoy. I had the cheese soufflé to start with, an absolute joy. My husband had the fish soup and he said it was excellent. I followed with the boeuf bourguignon which is always delicious and certainly did not disappoint and my husband had the duck. We had no room left but could not resist a last hurrah figuring we had the next month to burn all this off and so we shared the pistachio soufflé served with chocolate ice cream and we were glad we did, it was absolutely delicious. We do like to support local restaurants and this one never disappoints. During these dreadful times it was a most welcome night out, all Covid rules adhered to, we felt very safe and comfortable. The staff are attentive and friendly and the service is good. It will be top of my list when things hopefully reopen December 2nd. Highly recommend.

The restaurant is lovely and the food is very good. The service was excellent and we felt covid-safe (there are clear screens between the tables and the staff all wear masks etc). I can highly recommend the burger or sea bass and the roasts are very popular with our family. This is our second visit in a couple of weeks and we look forward to returning whenever lockdown is over.

And these days, that matters.... The garden at the back is away from the road, and attractive, with quite a few tables. We were walking a section of the London Loop, and this made a perfect stopping off spot for lunch. We had exited The Case is Altered (pub up the road) as we were not allowed to eat outside despite there being a lovely deck area with tables, and actually this was a much better choice. This is a gastropub, and the menu choices were wide ranging. Service was extremely friendly.

They seem to have “another” new manager. Booked for 6pm on a Saturday as we have on a fortnightly basis for the last 6 years. At 7.10 pm we were offered another drink by the lovely waitress , we were about to look at the desert menu when we were advised my the Manager that the table was needed for 7.30pm and to finish our drinks. His manner was very rude and abrupt especially when we questioned why we were not told this a) when making reservation b) when ordering . £85 spent in just over an hour on food that was mediocre. We come here mainly for the service and atmosphere. This has left a bad taste in our mouth and luckily have found nicer places locally to eat now and won’t be returning. Would of thought that due to new regulations they should book people in for 6-8pm and 8-10pm.

Apart from checking in, you wouldn't know there are constraints, so well have they arranged the layout and serving procedures. My wife and I (in the 'vulnerable' age group) felt very comfortable and relaxed to enjoy a delicious lunch and glass of wine. Such a pleasure to enjoy an outing without worry.The cheese souffle starter and confit of duck leg main make you determined to come back again (and again). The basic house wine is above average. Congratulations to the management and staff for their welcome and professionalism.

Excellent food And friendly staff make this one of my favourite restaurants. It is well looked after inside and They have a beautiful rear garden with dining tables and chairs that are kept clean And plenty of parking

Delightful staff, professional service and our food was totally scrumptious. The whole package was perfect and especially in these challenging times, we had a warm welcome. Much appreciated thanks to you all.

We enjoyed a fabulous meal and everything was cooked to perfection, especially the Chateaubriand. Accompanying wines were excellent as were the cocktails! We cannot fault the service as the staff are always welcoming and accommodating even during these challenging times, so well done to all the staff at The Hare. We will be back soon.

The food, drink and setting is lovely. When we dared ask for the advertised discount we had the bill thrown at us by a member of staff. When we complained to the manager we were asked to leave. We are shocked by this attitude and it utterly ruined what was a lovely evening. We will never return, gutted because the food/drink is great and we live local having just moved to the area. The way we were treated was unacceptable.

Very good family dinner, have been here at least a dozen times but this was first visit since they refurbished over the summer.Restauraunt was busy, near full but is well spaced out and well organised - not clinical feeling that some places now have. Good atmosphere / ambience.Highlights of the meal were the souffles - cheese for starter and pistachio for dessert - dont think we ever go to the Hare without someone in the party ordering one of these. Everything was well cooked and presented but these are the star dishes.Service was fast and very friendly.Will definitely be back again.

Delicious food spoilt by rude staff , had a lovely lunch ordered dessert before that was cleared away ,waiter turned up with the bill and card machine and said we had to leave as we were out of time and they needed the table , A bit of warning or a polite word would have been more professional.. shame but def won’t be returning any time soon

Had an amazing Sunday lunch with friends. Roast beef nice and rare with as many veg and as much gravy as you want. Service was lovely. Extremely good value 2 courses £20 or 3 £25. Difficult to find a reason not to go on a Sunday! Give your oven a rest!

Glad we booked in advance, a popular restaurant! Felt very covid safe and tables spacious. Excellent service, and food came quickly. We went for sunday lunch and the food didn't disappoint. Hope to have a return visit soon.

We visited last weekend after a family recommendation & were really impressed. Menu provided lots of choice, staff were friendly, prices good and great food. Cant wait to return!

The Manager should be nowhere near front of house. Working in the hospitality industry for the last 25 years, I’ve never been spoken to in such an abrupt manner. Ever!! Having said that the rest of the staff were outstanding, hence 3* maybe the Manager should take a leaf out of there book.

Booked The Hare as it had no time restrictions (well I thought). Met up with my college friendS of 20 years since pre lock down. Some of us hadn’t see each other for about 6 months. When booking I Saw there were no time restrictions at The Hare and it was half way for most. Our waitress was an angle, she was sweet and lovely. The manager on the other hand totally the opposite. After ordering drinks and 20 mins into my reservation he came and told me it was government guidelines to have the table for two hours which is totalRubbish! It might be their policy and if so say that but don’t blame the government. I explained the reason I booked and he told me it was in my confirmation which it was not. We carried on and ordered food and at at 9pm he was pushing us to finish up. I asked the waitress if the table was booked and she advised it was not. We then orders dessert and more drinks but felt like the manager was just being awkward for no reason. They were not busy and should have been grateful fir a group of 6 spending their cash. To be honest the food was very average...I had the steak and ale pie and it was filled with cheap bacon and potatoes. I live in Barnet and go to The Gate for their pie and this did not compare at all. My other friend had the jack fruit fritters and salad which she enjoyed with her cheese soufflé. My opinion, food is 5/10 and there are much better pubs out there that do food. I think the manager left a sour taste that night after being awkward with us fir no reason.

Been a few times, most notably for an anniversary dinner recently. Covid precautions were reassuring. We booked in advance. Service was excellent, friendly and efficient. We ordered a variety of drinks, and had three courses. All very pleasing. Prosecco and a very decent old fashioned, shared Moroccan mezze, the stone bass and steak, lemon parfait and mango and pineapple crumble, a Viognier and a Malbec, and a glass it port and a bramble. All excellent. It’s a really nice country gastropub, near to Harrow, far enough away from town to be free of the “beer guzzling set”. Good atmosphere. Pre-covid it was a bustling friendly venue as well. Near to Grimm’s Dyke.

I have never seen such small portions which made it poor value for money. The gravadlax was a joke, the gammon steak tiny, the beef Bourgogne minuscule and even the glass of wine was barely a mouthful. Coupled with that , the managers attitude stank when we complained why people were sat on top of us in a virtually empty restaurant at 4 in the afternoon - totally oblivious to Covid distancing !Felt ripped off with the small portion sizes, especially as prices not cheap - such a shame for what used to be a very nice place to eat . The soufflé was great though and the waiting staff very pleasant - hence the one star

Took a dear friend out for lunch. She felt extremely safe in the current situation, food was excellent, and they made sure her intolerance to certain foods were taken care of. Lovely choice of menu, and very attentive staff. Will definitely keep on coming again.

Excellent service and the tastiest and most tender roast beef I have ever had.I had the seafood soup the roast beef and soufflé for dessert. This was a deal for 25£ which was an absolute bargain. All of the food was very tasty but the beef in the roast really stood out it was so tender and juicy. I will definitely be going here again and the staff were lovely.

The only reason I have given this restaurant 2 stars is because the waiting staff were very pleasant.The food, although reasonable, was in very short supply. I don’t believe I have ever seen such small portions.When we arrived we were shown to our table and felt very Covid safe. However, when we had finished our meal and were waiting to order coffee, a family of 4, including 2 young teenagers, walked in to the restaurant and sat right next to us. This when the restaurant was very nearly empty. We did speak to the manager and asked why they were sitting where they were when there was no one else in the place!He replied, very rudely we felt, that they were entitled to sit where they wanted and it was our choice if we wanted to leave. He then presented us with our bill! He refused to see our point of view, or to even offer us another table to have our coffees. We left and definitely won’t be returning.

Service and food was excellent as always!! A place I keep returning too. Always looking after me and my dogs so well! Cannot recommend highly enough!

Eaten here twice recently with friends, for Sunday lunch and also a midweek meal. Food is very tasty and generous portions. Sunday lunch service was a bit manic even with social distancing! The food was very good but was slapped down and we didn't even get a chance to ask for salt/pepper/sauces etc! We ended up trying to attract a server and eventually asked 3 different people for what we wanted. Saying that, we did enjoy Sunday lunch! We also had a midweek meal with different friends, taking advantage of the £10 off pp offer still running. We had nibbles to share followed by their legendary Boeuf Bourguignon, burger and fries and the Asian style stone bass. Was a bit surprised that our plates hadn't been cleared away before the mains were served though! The food again was faultless, but service a bit hit and miss as usual! A bit more training for the waiting staff would probably sort the problem out. Can't really complain whilst the offer is still on though.

My wife and I went to this restaurant again for Sunday lunch.The restaurant is abiding by the Government guidelines due to the Covid virus eperdemic.The meal was really good and the desert was very well presented.I would recommend anyone who has not been to this restaurant before to try it.I am sure they would not be disappointed.RegardsMr F Hurley

Particularly enjoyed our visit to The Hare. This was our second visit after the lockdown and the first for four of our party. Everyone enjoyed the food. The service was excellent. We hope to return before too long

In August we had a very good meal here under the Government eat out scheme and were delighted to be told by our waitress that the restaurant was continuing with the discount to £ 10 offer throughout September at its own expense.We therefore booked then and there for September and confirmed by telephone a few days later.We once again had a very good meal with friends, but the evening was ruined when we were told that we could not have the offer as we had not signed up to their mailing list to receive a code icon on our phones.At no time were we advised either when we made the initial reservation or when we confirmed by phone that the offer only applied if you signed up to be bombarded with mailing.After much arguing the manager gave us a £ 20 discount (as there were 4 of us it would have been £ 40 under the offer) and we left most angry that the White Brasserie Company's offer is so misleading.

We are regulars here. Always Great food although not sure why they have removed the early bird menu. Other restaurants haven’t following lockdown. They haven’t quite got the new system right. You book a table (for just drinks or food) then when you arrive you are seated then ignored. For 10 minutes. Really miss not being able to go to the bar. Also 10 percent service charge added to your drinks for the pleasure of having them brought to your table . Not ideal to visit here now if just having a drink. Maybe that’s there intention?

We hadn’t been to this restaurant for quite a while but we wanted to support it on its reopening and we are very pleased we did! We’ve been twice so far, going with family this week and again next week! The new menu and the new chef are fabulous! We enjoyed the delicious meze starter (pictured), potted crab, tasty dips, Malabar fish curry, sea bass, duck, ‘to die for’ pistachio soufflé, lemon parfait and chocolate fondant, plus lovely mocktails/cocktails - all really wonderful!They’ve done very well to COVID-secure the restaurant without making it clinical, and made us feel very safe with screens and ‘furloughing’ tables if nearby, hand sanitiser, staff wearing visors and there’s lots of tables outside too. The staff were attentive and friendly. We also liked that there was no noisy music so we didn’t have to shout across the table, making a pleasant and calm atmosphere.Very kind that they have extended the £10 discount per person in September if on the mailing list, so we can go more often to this superb restaurant. We have recommended it to our friends and we very much look forward to our next visits! Highly recommended!

We know the menu well so we picked old favourites. The chicken liver parfait was the wrong texture and a different colour to what it used to be. It tasted nothing like a parfait more like a cheap mass produced pate. We told the waiter who said he would speak to the chef - we heard nothing. My friend ordered Malabar fish curry another favourite. The fish had a smell that resembled nail polish remover, and the prawn was so overcooked it was like rubber. She could not eat it. She told the waitress who did not comment. I ordered the salmon which was edible but tiny, dry, and tasteless. The only saving grace was the pistachio soufflé . We expected an apology at least but it was not forthcoming. The standard has dropped incredibly and it will be a long time before/if we venture back.

We had a terrible meal yesterday the Beef & Ale pie had more potato than beef ! And the Thai Curry was water thin and the Veg in it completely under cooked. What really made us mad is that the Manager argued with my wife saying it was perfect and how they always prepare it: rubbish. If you go there only have the steaks as they can’t mess that up and they and the burgers are ok. Should of stayed closed if they can’t produce food to a good standard. Very disappointing

Since reopening recently, The Hare has been completely rejuvenated - the menu, quality of the food, enthusiasm of the staff, and the safety measures in place. Three of us chose the roast beef and one had steak - the food was excellent with plenty of fresh vegetables, crispy roast potatoes, delicious beef and bottomless gravy! It really was the best pub Sunday roast we've had in a very long time.

Our favourite local friendly restaurant. Excellent food, Wine and service. Covid safe and free parking

Been a couple of times since reopening. Food and service excellent. With the eat out to help out deal (continuing till end of September) what’s not to like!

This is our favourite local restaurant and this was our first visit since lockdown. We took advantage of the governments 50% off deal and decided on a late lunch. We were not disappointed as our food was delicious. Covid precautions were good and as usual the service was very good. My Stone Bass was excellent and my husband had the Beef Bourguignon which was succulent and delicious. We are already booked to go again next week.

Came to celebrate our anniversary - restaurant recommended by our hotel as their restaurant hasn’t reopened yet and we were delighted by the food. Well prepared and tasty. Even the small details such as a fork and spoon for dessert were evident. Just slightly let down as the twile and crumble were a bit over toasted but a bit pedantic maybe.

We were served and seated by the lovely Sol who was very attentive and made our visit a truly pleasurable one! Well done Sol you are a great asset to the team.

So pleased this lovely venue is back open! We ate here for lunch on the 3rd day of reopening and it had a lovely buzzy atmosphere! The manager greeted us very warmly on arrival, whuch was lovely. Antibac gel on arrival, staff were wearing face protectors and large screen inbetween tables, disposal menus too so we all felt very safe. Only the main menu was available, so we chose from that. We ordered olives and the baguette with 3 dips just as nibbles as we were having large mains. The dips in particular were delicious and just enough to start whilst we were waiting for our main course. We also ordered a lovely bottle of chilled rosè and a g&t for our friend. There was quite a long wait for the drinks, but Wayne took over serving us and eventually sorted the drinks out. Two of us had the amazing boeuf bourguignon with red wine sauce and mash, and my husband had the free range Cornish beef burger with chips. Unfortunately, the bourguignon was not very warm, so both had to go back, but Wayne again came to our rescue to sort it out and it was no problem - in a short while we had fresh plates of this lovely French casserole which were piping hot. All in all, we had a relaxing time, albeit with a couple of small issues- probably to be expected after just re-opening. We are all looking forward to coming back. I would have given this review five stars had it not been for the few issues we had, but the main thing is that they were put right in the end.

We visited the Hare last night and were very much looking forward to be out and about, meet friends and feel a bit normal. The four of us chose this restaurant as we have always enjoyed it here in the past so when we heard it was opening up a few weeks ago on the 24th of August we were quick to book a reservation for last night. The weather was good so we were able to sit outside but had it not have been and we were inside we noted all social distancing was observed, partitions had been placed in strategic areas where necessary and the staff all wore protective face visors, all in all very reassuring and I would not hesitate to eat inside as the winter months role in. We were not disappointed, the service was excellent and friendly as always. The food was all delicious and served nice and hot. Our friends had the fish soup, which I would highly recommend and will probably order myself next time, my husband had the gravlax, I did not have a starter as I was saving myself for the main course which I was really looking forward to. Again from the beef bourguignon,to the duck, to the dressed crab and my beef and ale pie everything was on point. All topped off with a fantastic pistachio soufflé served with chocolate ice cream, worthy of any restaurant. All in all a highly successful and most enjoyable evening. We will certainly be returning soon and highly recommend you visit and enjoy.

Lingered for 4 hours over lunch. Superb new menu, excellent food quality, choice and service. Very much improved facilities and top attention to covid conditions. Felt very safe and well looked after. Highly recommended!

We haven't been here for quite a while as we have always been disappointed. However looking for somewhere to have dinner locally we decided to give it another try especially after checking the recent reviews. Well it was fabulous. We were very warmly welcomed and seated in a nice large table for two. We started with a glass of wine each - an excellent Savingon blanc and Malbac. We shared starters of Chicken Liver Parfait and Aubergine Dips which was delicious and went on to a Burger and Beef Bourguignon, again both Delicious. The service was excellent, not rushed and everyone so friendly and nice. We will definitely be going there again.I have just realised that my review of December was incompeteted so am now adding more here in January.We have now been 3 times and have to say it just gets better and better. Last evening I had the Goan Hake Curry which was absolutely delicious

A truly delicious visit to The Hare. Fabulous food, fantastic atmosphere and wonderful service... nothing was too much trouble... we ordered a bottomless gravy boat which kept flowing until all had had their fill Thanks to all the staff... well done, very happy customers, will definitely return

The restaurant was full but our waiter was fast and attentive. The food was perfect and there was a lot of choice. I will return!

Excellent service, attentive, concerned and prompt. Good food - especially recommend the cheese soufflé.

Very nicely done place and very good team they have. People are ok, not just for fun, they relax and have good time, also they have garden sittings too.

Decided to go for Sunday lunch at late notice. It is predictably busy so you do need to book in advance! We managed to get a late table.Service was a bit slow to start with but it was extremely busy . After initial wait for drinks it sped up a bit! It was friendly and charming service so easily forgiven. The Sunday menu is exceptionally good value for money. 2 courses for £20, 3 for £25. There is a good choice of dishes, and given the late time we were there for lunch there was only 1 dish not available.Overall food was good, not the best roast beef I have ever had but certainly superior to most equally priced pub roasts in the local area. We had a very relaxed lunch and some nice wine. Also we weren’t chased for the table back which is always appreciated.I believe they are being refurbed in the next few months as well so look forward to returning then.

Every time we visit The Hare we are always made to feel like family. Carl and Sascha are both excellent at what they do and nothing is too much trouble. They are practically clairvoyant in understanding what we would like to order or when we need a refill and the food is always exceptional. The dog-friendliness of this pub is also a huge plus and again, our dogs love the attention they get. Simply the best pub for miles around and we’ll keep coming back!

This is a real pleasure and treasure. Consistently good and well presented bistro food served by a really good team. A must!

We were a group of ten for Sunday lunch and can highly recommend both the friendly service and the food, which included proper non-meat options (as opposed to yet another nut roast). Excellent beers and wine list,

Beef and ale pie had 3 or 4 pieces of beef in an already very small pie.How can you charge £14.50 for this??Get rid of the little glass of ale on the side and concentrate on offering a more value for money portion.Pie itself tasted very nice.We arrived at 6pm on a Sunday. Staff seemed tired and overworked. Not many smiles and needed to be prompted.At these prices (higher end of pub spectrum) the service should be much better.

We went here for a family celebration. We were a group of 10 and had to pre-order our food choices. It was rather dis-organised when we arrived. The head waitress or manager (not sure what her role was) was rather brusque. She was totally inflexible in her approach, lacked any courtesy or personality. The food is standard pub food. Nothing special. Food arrived about half an hour after we arrived .The mussels were over cooked (shrivelled) and over salted. The fishcake was dry and lacked flavour. More potato than fish. The steak, lamb tagine, chicken were ok. Deserts were average. The crumble was short of crumble. Overall the experience was disappointing. Specific instructions we gave to the head lady were ignored. She really couldn’t be bothered. I’m sure this pub restaurant could be very good. We clearly hit on a bad evening or maybe this is the way they carry on, but get away with it. When you spend a lot of money on a special occasion the least you expect is good food and service. They missed both. Won’t be rushing back.

Went into the Hare for the first time in about 10 years and found probably 3 of the rudest Members of staff I have had the misfortune to meet. Barman looked like I’d asked to take his first born child when I asked what white wines were available and did he have a Sauvignon Blanc or a Pinot, held up a bottle and said “this ones the only one and dunno what it is” whilst almost shoving it in my face “are you serving food?” we asked hopefully “No!”, we got back curtly, “do you have any crisps we asked” “yup”, “can you please tell us the flavours”, queue pretty much eye rolling as if he was doing us a massive favour, subsequently went on to meet the other 2 staff members who had obviously attended the very same charm school. Grunts and eye rolls, it was actually awkward and not a pleasant environment by any means. I was actually grateful to leave. Will not be returning to visit anytime soon as myself and my guest were made to feel most unwelcome. I would personally NOT recommend this place. Shame as it had a very pretty beer garden that could be charming in the Summer.

Another successful trip to this lovely pub and restaurant. Excellent range of food and drink and superb staff. Enjoyed every moment!

Lovely food, atmosphere and friendly and helpful staff

I hadn't been to The Hare for some 15 years and probably 3 owners ago, based probably on my last experience there!

I ordered from the lunchtime menu and found the portions to be small and the food no better than average. The service is excellent and the place itself is lovely. The lunchtime deal was really a deal as the portions were so small.

The Hare delivers both OUTSTANDING service and VERY good cuisine to a crowd of mostly regulars who obviously make their reservations a long time ahead at the peak times of Saturday evening and Sunday lunch, and no doubt many other slots too. If you have never been you know what you have to do and if you have just sit back and bask in the knowledge that you are one of the happy not so few ;-)

Had my mother in laws 90 birthday lunch and the food and service were excellent and the staff were very attentive

Always enjoy the a la carte menu but I found the lunch set menu very poor yesterday. Service and atmosphere are always good

The Hare at Old Redding encapsulates an old pub in a modern setting. It has good and welcoming decor and the staff are always very attentive and helpful. Car parking is good but a little care is needed when leaving as the car park entrance is very close to a busy road junction. My wife and I have visited several times recently and always find it a very good place to meet friends. Food and service is always very good.

Good food and wine at reasonable prices. Friendly service and in good weather you can eat in the attractive garden.

I read the reviews and came here after looking at the menu online,

We spent New Year's eve with some friends and had a really enjoyable evening. The food, atmosphere and band, who were in residence that evening, were good. Everybody was having a good time and it was very friendly. Even though the place was packed the food was on time and tasty. This is the 3rd New Year's eve we have spent here and have always found it to be a convivial place to see the New Year in.

Since the refurb a year or so ago we have been meaning to visit as we live nearby, but never found the time to go into today. I wish I had made more of an effort as it was superb! For me service is everything and a friendly lady greeted us as soon as we were in the door. The waiter was friendly courteous and efficient. The food was exceptional. Truthfully I expected it to be slightly above average, but it was quite a few notches up from that. My wife went for the grilled cauliflower and truffle cream which was beautifully presented and was as tasty as it looked. The prices were also really good. Meal for two (one with lunchtime menu) with one alcoholic drink was just under £45 with service. I will certainly be going again.

Some items on the menu could not be served as suppliers had not caught up since Christmas, but the alternatives were very acceptable.

very good choice of dishes attractively presented, very tasty and good quality.

Booked the restaurant a week before our lunch . Very convenient bar/ restaurant for the locals however it is difficult to visit without a car .

we were on holiday in london for the first time and to taste something typical english, we chose your place. We were thrilled and satisfied with both the service and the cuisine. The boy who served us was very patient and was able to advise us well, as the dish that struck us most of all was "the duck", never tried before. Delicious, soft and tasty, we highly recommend it! Sincere congratulations to all the staff for the kindness and professionalism !!! Da Salvatore, Massimo, Francesca e Vanessa

Fantastic food. And Fantastic Customer Service. This was our first of what will be many great visits to come. They deserve a full 5🌟 review. As they went above and beyond in customer service.

Booked for impromptu family lunch. Food was tasty and wholesome. Service was excellent. Price was reasonable. Would gladly return.

Just went in for a couple of drinks with my family.

We used to be regulars but the service and atmosphere bottomed out so we stopped going.

Food very average ( not fish on the menu ). Sunday roasts and a burger as a main course so not great although a cheese soufflé as a starter was good. Parking on pub/ restaurant premises so it was easy and the staff were delightful. Wine list was good as you would expect Value for money - yes. Choices limited

Been coming to the Hare for a few years - and have always enjoyed the atmosphere, food and value plus the car park - always a bonus in the London area.

not as good as it thinks it is. Food is fine but not near being exceptional. Garden is nice in summer. A fair number of rooms in whihc to eat so it doesn't seem as large as it is. I have been a number of times and never really disappointed, but equally never particularly impressed. It does quite well as there isn't a lot of similar places locally -but I wouldnt travel far for a meal here. Fine, if a little expensive, for a drink.

My boyfriend and I visited The Hare for the first time for an afternoon lunch. We were served by Venus, she was an absolutely amazing host. Venus was very attentive to our needs and very patient (we were a fussy couple). She made sure we were well looked after. We both ordered the duck leg which was lovely!! Atmosphere was relaxing and decor was very cosy leading up to Christmas.

We made a huge mistake going for Sunday lunch today. It was 15 minutes before we were offered drinks, 1/2 hour before they took our order, no starters just roast beef mains. 50 mins later it came to the table cold & without an apology. We had to ask for horseradish, ask for fresh hot Yorkshire puds etc. The vegetables were undercooked to raw. Coffee arrived cold . Good management would have apologised for the delay & seen we at least had complimentary bread sent to the table & kept us updated. What a shame as the restaurant is lovely & the food tho cold was flavoursome.

The food is excellent and the choice imaginative.The staff are friendly Nd knowledgable.You need to book for a meal because it is very popular.

Called in for a quick lunch. The place was quiet when we arrived, but got quite busy (even for a Monday!). Extensive menu, but a varied selection. The Mussels were excellent - except the portion was a bit small (I thought). A nice place and I understand it can get very busy at times. I will hope to return and try more choices from the menu. Some nice small private dining areas, but lots of steps to find the toilets.

I visited with my girlfriend, we were told the roast was out of stock (understandable as it was around 4PM) - ordered another chicken dish and a steak instead. My girlfriend opted for the 2 course and myself just the steak. When the bill came they had charged for 2 x 2 courses despite us only ordering one, and only getting one dessert.

We chose the 2 course set menu. Disappointing there's only one main veggie option which is vegan. The food was just about scraping average but definitely won't be going for a second visit. The service was ok, the place wasn't that busy when we arrived.

Lunch with extended family for a happy celebration. staff seemed overwhelmed and atmosphere was chaotic. had to ask three times for glass of red wine ordered and arrived 45 minutes later after asking the manager. main course of chicken arrived tough and blood next to the bone. I sent it back after having to get out of my seat to find member of staff. manager returned chicken to me and told me that it had been cooked sous vide as explanation of blood in chicken. !!!! chicken was now cooked through after being put in oven although accompanying sweet potatoes were cold and chicken had been put on original plate. not very nice and all done in grudging manner. other guests complained of tough roast beef that knife could not go through. again manager took away and meat cooked more and returned to same cold plate. still tough now over cooked. continually had to seek out staff for cutlery as none replaced on table after starter. manager was unapologetic and patronising throughout. not hospitality in any form . what a shame. much anticipated lunch, expensive I am sure although I was a guest and setting lovely. if this manager has this attitude I can understand the staff difficulties . they seemed like they were struggling to cope with whole situation and. untrained in basics of hospitality.

My local but won’t be going back in a hurry. Except for my partner’s duck, all the other dishes were poor, both in quality and value for money.

We held our daughters family engagement lunch at the Hare and are extremely happy that we did. First and foremost the service was amazing. Sasha and Rory really looked after us and made the event run seamlessly. We had 32 people and we held it in the section next to the bar which was perfect. We were seated at three tables with plenty of room left in the area. We pre ordered from the set Sunday lunch and the food, as always was absolutely delicious. Thank you again for what was a very memorable day

First visit to The Hare and was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere was lovely - perfect for an evening out with the family. The desserts were exquisite in both taste and presentation. The staff topped off what was a delightful experience, with their welcoming and friendly attitude - our waiter was Amir - helpful in guiding us as to which meals and desserts would suit our taste buds best and was more than happy to have a nice chat. The only criticism I would share is that a greater selection of coffees and hot drinks on the menu would be nice. Otherwise, brilliant! Look forward to my next visit.

It’s been over a decade since I’ve been to The Hare, but we gave it a go yesterday afternoon for my mum’s birthday. A great decision.

Welcome and service ok, but then service patchy for the rest of the evening. Starters were ok. Mains were ok, however the Paella was vastly overpriced, for a very small plate; frankly just not good enough, even if it's billed as some special family recipe - I don't like using the words 'rip-off'. Dessert was just ok but not worth that price at all. So with no alcoholic drinks for us, was looking at about £35 a head for an 'ok' three course meal (gratuity added automatically).

We have enjoyed many a visit here. You can always rely on getting a good meal served with a smile by friendly and polite staff particularly Sasha.We look forward to our return visit which I am sure will not be long coming and we highly recommend you try this restaurant.

Visited The Hare, not for the first time, as it is convenient to my workplace and serves very good food. It is always busy and has a good atmosphere. Staff are pleasant and service good. The menu is good and there are enough choices to choose from. I had one of my current favourite meals, pork belly served with red cabbage, dauphinoise potatoes and apple and crackling. The dish was even better than usual as the red cabbage replaced the cabbage previously served which was not nice.

An extremely enjoyable lunch in great surroundings and decent food. The service exceeded our expectations with the enthusiasm, knowledge and friendliness of our waiter soul who went above and beyond the call of duty. A real asset and a fine example of how service should be done in this country. He even made time to call me on my way home to tell me I had left my jumper behind.

Simply look at the pictures portion size ridiculously tiny 2 mouthfuls of salmon. Even served upside down on the plate. A real first and last. Nothing more to say
