The Hare & Hounds in Waverley

The best Guinness I've had in Surrey, ham egg and chips and a meat raffle, what more could you want on a Friday night?

What a great pub. We live in Godalming and occasionally come over to Farnham for lunch at various pubs / restaurants. We fancied a change and came here for the first time. We tried all the available cask ales - Landlord, Ruddles best, Black sheep. All 10 out of 10. They were very well kept. Perfect. I had the chilli con carne. This was with rice, sour cream, cheese, onions, tacos. I always go for this dish if it’s available at a pub. It was excellent - the best I can remember having at a pub ever. Nicely spiced, and a generous amount. My wife had a dish from the specials board special, of Liver bacon, onion gravy and mash and peas. She enjoyed this very much as well. We will definitely return to this venue. We are kicking ourselves for not finding it earlier.

My wife and I have just moved into the area and decided to pop in and have a quick drink before dinner. Well, the local gang around the bar, instantly made us feel like we had just dropped off the bottom of their shoe. The “click”! was also gathered around the bar itself we had to squeeze between them to get served, as they did not have the common decency to make room. The young chap behind the bar was also not the most welcoming of individuals and made us feel like an annoyance. It’s been a long time since I have been made so uncomfortable in a public house, it felt like walking into the pub in the movie “American Werewolf in London” Overall appearance outside looks very pleasant; however, the inside is what I would call tatty and in need of a good once over. If you are looking for a local Pub with a welcoming environment, I’m sure there are several in the area with a friendlier atmosphere and staff, that don’t make you feel like you have two heads, you may want to give them a try

A proper pub that serves proper home cooked food. We had roast beef and roast pork, that came with fab roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, cauliflower cheese, selection of veg and lashing of gravy. Washed it all down with (apparently) a great pint of Guinness and a Stowford Press cider. We had a look at the desert menu (!) and couldn't resist the incredible apple & blackberry crumble. Fabulous food, served by a very hospitable and welcoming team. Thank you, loved it all.

This is the second time my sister and I have been to hare & hounds, and both times it has exceeded our expectations. It's a lovely pub, the staff are welcoming and the food is absolutely fantastic. Highly recommend 10/10

What a gem! Great tasting home style cooked food, we really enjoyed this pub!

This is a traditional local pub with classic pub meals but do check out the specials menu. The landlord will always try to fit you in and ensure you have a pleasant experience. Staff are always friendly and helpful. Food is very good and one of my favourite places for Sunday roast.

Lovely Sunday roast in a traditional English/Irish pub with great hospitality.

Fantastic pub, very friendly staff and great food.

Fantastic little gem of a pub, lovely friendly staff, very cosy, and delicious food, great service and wide choice on menu, good value for money

What a fabulous traditional pub..Such a warm welcome, delicious and plentiful Sunday lunch served with smiles and charm..An added bonus was music from the amazing Steve Brookes..Can't wait to return thank you 😊

Found this gem on way back from daughter’s football match, very friendly welcome! Nothing was too much trouble at all and atmosphere was lovely thank you we will be back!

Had an impromptu stop here after my daughters football game just down the road. Went in to have a drink and get some chips but they were only serving from a menu, but whilst we were looking the barman came over and said they can do chips if we wanted. Great service couldn't do enough and great country pub atmosphere with friendly locals and dogs

Sunday roast was best I've had out for ages , highly recommend the beef .

A great find. Very nice homemade burger. Friendly efficient service. Comfy atmosphere including suntrap garden

Very friendly local village pub

This is pretty much the perfect traditional pub. The food was amazing and plentiful. Extremely well priced. Unfortunately my photography skills are negligible and do not do justice the perfect roast. The fruit in the Eton mess gave me a Proustian rush back to childhood where strawberries tasted of strawberries! The staff were so friendly and welcoming to a newbie. The locals were also funny and friendly. Very inclusive and a lovely way to spend the afternoon. I wish I lived near here so I could become a local!

Fantastic place to be. I recommend a visit to experience the Hospitality at the place

Nice pub, garden good in the summer It could do without the barfly eyeballing everyone who walks to the bar. Hostile? Yeah!

Big family meal here on 3rd of June. Food was beautiful and fresh, service brilliant.. so helpful and friendly and even cooked my two year olds dinner early to avoid a tantrum!! Highly recommended

Booked a table for 15 for my parents anniversary. The food was served quickly and all at the same time and it was delicious! We were given a warm, friendly welcome and nothing was too much trouble. We had a great evening, couldn't have asked for any more. Thank you for making our evening.

Great pub with real ales and delicious home cooked food. We had the chicken curry, we like it a bit spicy and it was perfect! Just as we asked. Lovely friendly service and cosy atmosphere.

Friendly traditional village pub serving good food at reasonable prices

What a revelation! My friend and I went for a Thursday lunch towards the end of March. We booked and that was just as well. The place was packed; and rightly so. The beer selections include Guinness and Timothy Taylors – beautifully kept. The home-made cooking was most excellent for a proper county pub. This place has no airs and graces. Not a merchant banker in sight; just a good honest village pub serving great beer and food. Would I go again? I am counting the days.

Great pub , beers fantastic, had sunday roast was superb best roast beef I've had in years just let them know how you like it

Just what a proper traditional pub should be. Popped in for a quick pint with my wife and we were welcomed straight away. Beers on tap I hadn't seen in years and a welcome variation from all the IPA's on sale nowadays. Too many pubs have been "Farrow and Ball'd" nowadays to please everyone from 8 to 80. This place is still unashamedly a local pub through and through. Lots of trinkets and signs on the walls reminiscent of a bygone era. Loved it and will head back for a drink again soon. Like stepping back into the pubs of my youth, but in a really positive way.

Family friendly local pub, nice environment and a lovely pleasant traditional English pub.

Lovely staff, great food and sensible pricing. Very nice place indeed

Lovely food, Adrian great Guy and the dog is huge

Very good food and friendly attentive staff in a dog friendly traditional pub. There is an excellent covered outdoor area. We will certainly be returning.

Good food in pleasant gardens at reasonable prices.

Lovely locals pub. We shared the beetroot and halloumi burger. It was massive and delicious. Dog friendly too

Nice friendly pub , good beer lovely bar staff and good food , tried a few pubs in the area this is top

Nothing too much trouble our food, fish and chips with mushy peas, and liver, bacon and onions was faultless and enjoyed by us both. Deserved to be much busier and will definitely be back soon.

Great pub and the food was brilliant

It's a great place had a very nice Saturday evening there.They didnt know me from Adam but threated me like an old friend Really good Chris

Great pub. Good pub grub and really friendly folk on both sides of the bar. Don't miss it.

Sunday lunch. Pork dry and curling up at the edges, carrots well overcooked and watery. Toilet dirty. Hand sanitizer by exit of toilet where it is much needed after touching door handle. Staff o.k. would not recommend or return.

Noce country pub. Had a decent pint so i had one

A fantastic pub and restaurant. The staff are all incredibly friendly and helpful, great choice on the menu, compliments to the chef.

Sorry roast dinner probably the worst I've ever had .was hungry so ate it but wouldn't go back for another

Nice pub, friendly staff and customers, food was fine and the beer was cold. Weather wasn't great though!

Good beer and food. Welcoming staff

Lovely meal, friendly staff and locals, nice place to stop off, great for kids and parking.

As always very welcoming, friendly atmosphere and great food. Beer garden and additional covered outside area. Dog friendly.

We went for lunch today..wish we hadn't!, pizza was dripping in cheese which made base soggy and non edible..the ketchup pot had mayonnaise around sides of pot..the kids play park was in really poor condition! Dog poo all over the grass!! Tables not being cleaned as people left!wont be going back.really disappointed.

Lovely lunch in pub garden not been there for over a year we'll done chef) spike

We had had the pub’s take away roasts around 6 times now and they have all been excellent. Plenty to eat and beautifully cooked. Hope they continue post lockdown

had takeaway fish and chips last night. lovely traditional chips and tasty piece of fish in batter. well cooked and stayed hot. really enjoyed it.

Down to earth, honest village pub. Small but decent selection of beers. Pub grub. Friendly locals. Garden.

Pleasant staff. Good atmosphere and quick table service.

Nice village pub with a decent selection of drinks and solid COVID measures

Very friendly staff and patrons

Great food, better atmosphere - loved the beer garden on days like today (hot!!)

Wow! What a super place to eat and drink, visited on a lovely evening so opted to sit in the garden, the barman was attentive and professional taking our order at the table, our food arrived piping hot and nicely presented, and tasted amazing. The burger was huge, with super chunky chips, the fish and chips were delightful lovely crisp batter, not at all greasy and my scampi and chips were fantastic, succulent proper scampi filling all of the crumb coating. The chef Spike takes great pride in everything he prepares and it shows in the food that is served. Definitely worth a visit

Second great takeout meal from there due to coronavirus distancing - Tuesday night is curry night! Must get my act together and remember to order Sunday lunch too.

Lovely village pub. The chef happily catered for my dietary requirements and even checked ingredients with me which was very thoughtful. The stew was heart and delicious. My friend had the burger which she told me was incredible but the portion was so huge she couldn’t finish it! Would go back

Great local pub with friendly regulars and good atmosphere run by a very good landlord

Everything your local pub should be, welcoming, helpful, reasonably priced and good quality. We have been several times and they serve a great Sunday lunch. They also take care of their less able visitors and make sure everyone feels welcome, for many in the village I am sure it is a massive boost for them to be able to sit and enjoy some company even if they are there on their own.

Looking for a quick off the cuff Sunday lunch Passed by , had nothing booked , and they fitted / squeezed us in ! Great Service in a friendly atmosphere And great food , Good value for money , and even gave me a special parking space Will definitely return 5 Stars *****

Well run and friendly local pub and one of a dwindling number featuring traditional English dishes on it's menu

Village pub that is very friendly. Good choice of food and drink.

Nice pub friendly atmosphere food was out of this world every one in the pub made us very welcome we will be going back , but don't take my word to and see for your self you won't be disappointed..

I loved my main Grilled chicken. I definitely recommend that plate was delicious and very nice service.

Absolutely fantastic menu and food. A great selection for vegetarians and kids options too. Very unassuming pub and would never have expected such great quality food. You must give it a try.

Friendly, welcoming. Family had a variety of food off the menu,all good portions, very tasty and value for money. Recommend a visit.

Lovely little country pub with a good selection of ales

Another great Sunday lunch for the family

Great little pub with a great welcome. Food was obviously freshly cooked and tasted great. Good selection of beers. We will be back. Thanks

First time eating in the pub despite living in the village for 10+ years. Staff were very friendly.

Great pub that has a fantastic atmosphere and a very good menu. This is the epitome of a local pub.

A cute little spot with lovely areas around it. Good variety on the menu, and good vegetarian options. The food was so good and very good sized portions. Service was good and I plan on going back next time I’m in the area!

Friendly pub with good dining area around a single welcoming bar Haloumi and bacon salad great and special of the day was sausage and mash. Great place for chats 👍👍👍👍👍

Stopped off for some dinner with the sprogs and dog. We were made very welcome by the staff and the locals. The food was really tasty. Good proper pub grub. Can recommend ham egg and chips. Very good ham. Reasonably priced. Really nice play area outside for the kids. (Maybe a bit tired the kids bit / But they enjoyed it!)

Apart from consuming an enjoyable bottle of white wine, what struck us most at The Hare & Hounds was the outstanding hair style sported by the bar person. In London, this style would call for a second glance, but in the quiet little hamlet of Rowledge near to Farnham in Surrey, it is outstanding. A good visit! I think a return is called for.

Food delicious and friendly people worth a visit

The food is really lovely but the atmosphere is that of a real old fashioned pub Well worth a visit

Cycling on route 22 towards Portsmouth called here for lunch obviously a pub popular with the locals friendly welcome good selection of ales fair food which was not over salted.

Proper pub, proper food...steak and kidney pie was really good.

Friendly Irish evening. Good although sexist jokes were embarrassing for all the women there. Bit of a blokes place.

A small, relaxed "Irish themed" pub with great staff and good food, all home made. Steak and kidney pie was delicious, served with chips and roast vegetables. A good range of ales (including a worthy Grand Slam) and lagers available on draught.

We eat at this pub regularly, food is good, the atmosphere is fun and a bit chaotic . Food is good and portions just right. Try it you’ll enjoy it.

Was looking for somewhere close to Farnham for Mother's Day lunch. None of us had been here before. Really helpful on the phone when making a booking for Four adults and two kids. Roast lunch was really yummy, I had pork (with great crackling), two adults had the roast lamb which looked good and the last adult the chilli con carne. Desserts - two of us had the raspberry and white chocolate cheesecake which was very good, my brother had the chocolate brownie which was huge and apparently very nice and the fourth adult had the sticky toffee pudding - also very nice. Great service and good food- what more could you ask for?!

Great lunch, especially the fish dish of the day.

had an amazing pheasant and duck stew. fish and chips were classic. didn't have the curry but it looked great

Excellent lunchtime meal today with friends. Chef went out of his way to prepare a previous menu starter and produce an ad hoc meal for a plant based only diner Would definitely recommend. Thanks Spike

Could do with a major refurbishment but convenient location in village.

I called in on-spec for a quick lunch not expecting much. What a pleasant surprise!

Great food an very friendly xxx

We had been a couple of times before and it was very good. This time the manager and his wife were not around so perhaps that explains our experience. One of our party ordered pork and, when it arrived, it was still bloody. So it was sent back but still came back very undercooked. At the third attempt it was perfectly cooked but the rest of us had nearly finished eating by this point. We then ordered the cheesecake- which arrived on warm plates! The staff were very friendly and helpful but these basic errors rather spoilt things.

Just had lunch at this excellent pub, the food is delicious and caters for all sorts of dietary needs. The service is excellent, but Elisha is a traditional British barmaid who caters to your every need, helpful and competent, always cheerful and friendly.

Amazing evening with family,food was absolulety wonderful.Compliments to the chef,dessert was delicious.

Delicious food and amazing locally brewed beer

Un grupo de nosotros habíamos reservado almuerzo aquí después de un paseo en Frensham Pond. El personal era muy amable y nada era demasiado problema para ellos. La opción de menú era muy bueno y la comida era excelente. Platos de verduras caliente también eran servidos con la opción de más si es necesario. Los postres eran deliciosos, pero si selecciona la tabla de quesos es lo suficientemente grande para dos personas.

Enjoyed a lovely Saturday lunch with our young family. Menu is varied, including children's options, food was freshly cooked and delicious. Warm welcome from the landlady and overall a great pub atmosphere. Play area for the children, we'll definitely be back in the summer.

Great village pub and good food

Lunch here had a surprisingly wide menu - Torbay sole excellent as was the pork belly. Off the beaten track and small and intimate. Will return and worth the visit. Friendly staff and clientele to newcomers!

First class service from the team at The Hare and Hounds, they were so helpful as 15 of us, children and adults came together for my Father in Law's birthday, we were able to pre-order our food choices so they came out quicker. the food...

Tuvimos una comida fantástica, con mucho para elegir. Buena comida de pub con toque especial y sabor. Gran ambiente y calurosamente recibidos por el propietario. No cabe duda de que volveremos pronto.

My wife and I had dinner hear one early evening while staying nearby which was a short walk. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating and all the other patrons were having a good time. People were able to reserve tables. Food and ales selection was very good. Atmosphere was friendly, and various people were in deep conversation, some accompanied by there dogs. Food was decent pub food. If anything, I found the experience a bit of step back in time 70s - 80s, which was a good thing. Would definitely go back.
