The Hare & Hounds in Tewkesbury - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We chose this pub because it advertises Pet Friendly and Family Friendly, but this is not true. We were a large party of 6 adults, 4 teenagers and 4 younger children plus one small dog. The party split in two with 2 adults and the younger children sitting separately from the rest of us. After taking our order we were advised that the beer we had bought the 16-year-olds could not be consumed with the meal due to Green King's policy, although the law states otherwise! We were not shown this policy. Later on, the woman who appeared to be the glass collector, very rudely told us that the dog was not allowed but that we could all move to the bar. However, the teenagers were not allowed in the bar area! The barmaid joined her and stood there with her arms crossed in a very hostile way. Neither showed any customer service skills or manners whatsoever. In the end, one of our party (who was also registered disabled) was forced to eat outside with the dog. Shocking! During the meal, the glass collector returned and accused us of "allowing your children to run riot in my pub". She was referring to the younger children with the separate party. They were not running riot at all. Again, no customer service or manners. The food splatters on the walls were off-putting, the whole place needs a good clean up and some of the staff need to be trained in customer service. Green King is not well represented by this establishment! The food was ok and the guy who served us was friendly enough but overall, this was not a good experience!

Nothing was too much trouble, ordered the two gammon steaks with two fried eggs with salad instead of chips. The Gammon was delicious and will definitely order again. Well done.

8 of us came for monthly lunch meal out and we were all throughly pleased with the food and service we had and hope to make a return vist soon

Not impressed by the service at all. We waited to be seated and were only approached when we stood in a ‘specific’ spot after being moaned at by bar staff. When ordering, three members of staff were behind the bar, all acknowledging me standing there but was only served after I scoffed in disbelief that nobody would take my order. The food was good for the price, peas were not cooked and there was significant oil on top of the eggs - if you are looking for ‘cheap and cheerful’ then sure this place works but I wouldn’t recommend it due to the lack of service and long wait time.

Excellent value for money, good pub food and a warm welcome. Easy parking.

Go to this Green King on a regular basis. Several friends and I have lunch. The food is very good and always hot, and the service is friendly and quick . I would definitely recommend this place

The hare n hounds is really good they got some very good deals and very respectful staff members and the food is nice and there’s loads children can eat and it’s just different ranges. It’s good for a birthday meal and stuff like that. Very good I do reccomend.

Treated my wife to Sunday lunch. Absolutely fantastic value. Roast turkey and beef lunches were delicious with plentiful vegetables and heaps of tasty gravy. Two meals and two drinks for £14 and super service as well. Exceptional! Highly recommended.

Had such a negative person at the till just made the atmosphere not welcoming at all

Lovely pub friendly staff couldn't do enough for my disabled mum and sorted her dietary needs and the portion size is great and very affordable

Exceptional quality food served very quickly. Will definitely be back. Friendly staff. Premises could do with an update.

I really like it here the food is great and such value for money 💰

Just like to thank Sue and her staff, what a lovely time we had there, lovely pub!. Good food served quickly by a dedicated team at a very good price. Beer gardens awesome. Will definitely be back.

As part of the Greene King chain, you know what you're getting here. The food is great quality for the price point and we have no complaints at all. The build your own burger menu item is an absolute steal! The service was good, staff were helpful and the food was brought out quickly, piping hot. Dogs are only allowed outside in the beer garden, but there are generous amounts of tables and umbrellas available.

Food very good price( promo night on Weds) cheap drinks which is a bonus! Be advised......book as it gets very busy! Even though a 45min plus wait for food as they had a staff member go sick, The Chef of one did a cracking job! 👏 Plus the Bar Team done a thorough job in explaining the delay,but that didn't put me off my dining experience... they deserve praise as well! GreeneKing need to have more community sports bars like These as its bodes well for everyone! 😀

Great service, lovely presentation and friendly staff

Great service and good fun on the quiz! The lady with black hair and glasses behind the bar was a great help with regards to getting me a table. Thank you

Pub could do with a Refurbishment but service is First Class !!! Greene King IPA £2.50 a pint….. and what a Fantastic Beer 🍺 it is !!! Definitely worth a visit without fail. 👍👍

Limited menu but very good quality. Some interesting choice of cask ales. Good sign for the food : long waiting time despite a lot of working hands and lot of locals. Obviously the locals do like their local!

At 2 o'clock on a Tuesday afternoon you get a good idea how good a pub is. The lunchtime rush had passed but the staff were as attentive as you could wish without being in your face. We pushed our luck and chose to sit at at Table 13. it was clean and dry, as were the tables around us, no debris from the earlier visitors. Tracey took our order for three Hunter's Chicken which came promptly and was ridiculously tasty. Mine got washed down with the well kept Old Speckled Hen ale, my guests enjoyed the Merlot and Chardonnay. A lovely lunch in bright surroundings for little more than £30 all in! It would be daft not to go back.

Perfectly decent half a pint of lager

Excellent meals and great value and service.

Good food, good value for money.p

Terrible piece of steak, and uncooked chips.

Been coming here regularly for a few years with my family. I can honestly say we’ve never had a bad meal here , always so delicious , I thought it’s about time I wrote a review as we are regular visitors , great choice on the menus and very reasonably priced. And staff are always welcoming and friendly , food is always quick coming from the kitchen too .

We spent a great Sunday afternoon watching the EPL. Friendly service and had a nice lunch. Would recommend for a pleasant afternoon.

Friendly staff, front bar is nice side bar very basic but that's where the TVs are

Proper pub with a good selection. Good, honest, well priced food that is cooked well and tastes good. Staff are friendly too. Will return.

Faultless steak plus extras, speckled hen beer gorgeous. My wife had a similar meal which again was remarkable. Considering how very busy the pub was the service was friendly and genuinely cared that we enjoyed our stay. The fact that the pub was so busy no doubt reflects how the service is appreciated. Will will be back!

The food is always lovely and excellent value for money. The staff are most friendly and it is a very handy place for a dinner after work or when you got the grandkids they get well treated with a ice cream that they love

Good place to watch sport. Range of beers and drinks are kept well. Service has always been friendly and efficient on my visits. Food not bad and well priced. Sometimes can be a bit loud for me, but that's something a lot of customers like. My only gripe is that tables can be left unwiped for a while longer than I think acceptable (not the only pub which has this issue).

Good value seniors menu. Very pleasant staff

Nice pub, good ale and great customer service.

Great place to come, I come with my family on occasions food great staff are friendly, also come with friends

We travel past at least 3 other local same brand pubs to this venue. Never had to complain, great service !!

Went for a drink. Then we decided to eat. What a lovely meal. We had steak. It was done perfectly.

Decent place to eat out. Benefited from discount offer 2 for 1. Would go again.

Surprisingly good for really good prices. Friendly staff, good service. great beers and ales. Recommended.

Great pub, good grub at a fair price. Friendly and helpful staff. 👌

Good value Christmas evening meal,nice table decorations. Very good service Friendly landlady,bar and waiting staff

Went for a family meal on a weekday evening before an event in the area. Service was efficient and the food arrived quickly. Really good value for money and definitely one to come back to if we are in the area again.

George Harrison was photographed outside this pub when he was 14 years old and hitchhiking with Paul McCartney!

We were celebrating a brthday and meeting family from various places up to 100 miles away .There were 11 of us ranging in age from 75 to 9 and a variety of menu choices. The staff were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The food was superb and the service excellent. We would certainly come again and can highly recommend the venue for avisit.

Three of us have had a lovely evening tonight. We chose the festive menu for our get together, it was a pre booked & pre ordered food. Lovely starters of prawn cocktail & chicken strips, followed by roast turkey with all the trimmings and then Christmas pudding & chocolate fudge cake. The staff are amazing and attentive, they were very busy too. An excellent visit, just what we’ve come to expect from Sue & her team. ❤️

A lovely Christmas Lunch. A group booking. The staff were very friendly, welcoming and attentive. Thank you Sally for your patience with us all! The food was lovely.

Family party, made very welcome, Great food, hot and plenty of it… service was excellent… many thanks

Swearing, shouting and all round just bad atmosphear. For some reason you cant stand at the bar and everyone books table so you have less choice of where to sit. Would not recommend.

Superb meal. We selected the 8oz rump steaks. Both done exactly as requested. Superb meal and very friendly and accomodating staff. Meal a bargain with 20% discount voucher. Lovely warm and cosy seating area. Many thanks!! 👍🏻

My friends and i have just had a Xmas lunch. prawn cocktail to start, lots of prawns. Turkey with all the trimmings, excellent value for money. have not had a bad meal yet. congratulations to the chef.

Food is hit and miss. Things vary depending on the day. For example one day the chips were soggy and awful. Another time they were crisp and fluffy. Staff were helpful but didn't seem keen. In need of a makeover.

Beat place around for family meal very well price 2 meal £10.99 with lots of options:)

What a lovely friendly pub and restaurant. The staff are SO friendly and smiling, and the food is always top quality and served piping hot with generous portions. Rhys, Becky, Sue and Dean were our staff helpers today, and each one of them was super friendly. A real gem!

This must be the cheapest venue for seniors to eat in Gloucestershire. A great choice for the money, two courses for £5.49, three courses £6.49. Not huge portions but you wouldn’t expect it for the price, sufficient for most seniors though. Good quality food, well cooked and tasty, exceptional value.

Very good food and good customer service

Very good pub food, good value and friendly service. We have lunched here many times with a disabled young man and they are always welcoming.

My brother and me came for a midweek meal and took advantge of the meal deal and we both throughly enjoyed the meals and the service was very good

Very very friendly, a lovely family meal with the dogs not rushed at all and nothing was a problem. Great honest value for money yummy food. Definitely return!

Great accidental find, good food good beer and friendly staff ,what else do you need. Thanks guys

My friend and I visit here on a regular basis as my friend is very cost aware and he knows that you can get a very decent meal for a very decent price, probably the cheapest in Gloucestershire. This has not changed, the meals are...

Food look nice, very old pub, very nice. Children or allowed in the games room..

Fairly large party, all served together. Grand

Been to a wedding reception here everything was perfect the food was lovely and staff were amazing definitely be back again well all staff and sue

Such a Brilliant place, great atmosphere, entertainment, food and drink..spotlessly clean, excellent service x

Beautiful Sunday roast here, amazing value. When I made the booking staff were extremely helpful.

Excellent food especially if you like steaks good beer and a nice atmosphere lovely bar staff 👌

We visited here the evening of 15th July for a 30th Birthday meal. There was 20 of us all ordering food. We were very impressed with the service, all food came out correct & piping hot. Lovely food & great staff 👍

Was here for lunch with my Son. Sat outside therefore cannot comment on atmosphere but was busy inside given the time of day. Food was nice also

Food lovely and low priced.Very quick service.Would definitely recommend to friends

We went for lunch. Food was plentiful but not very well prepared. Shame really as the pub is clean, very nice staff and good atmosphere

Nice, clean, nearest local pub to us. We sat in their garden after a mammoth walk n had a couple of drinks in the lovely sunshine.:-)

I always come to the hare and hounds as it is my local. I have made a lot of great friendships in the pub and I am friendly with all the staff. The team always know how to put a smile on the punters faces....

Yesterday Sue and her team hosted our wedding reception and evening entertainment. The attention to detail was absolutely outstanding. The food was out of this world. Sue and her team worked tirelessly to ensure it was a day my wife and I will never forget....

What an absolutely fantastic day for these two lovely people yesterday on their wedding day (at last). Thank you so much for letting me be part of it it was amazing. And secondly to Sue and her fantastic team from front of house to Dean...

Wedding dinner, the food was fantastic and a big thank you to sue and all the team for making the day perfect.

I’m quite newbie at the hare and hounds. And what a great experience I have had. Always friendly staff. Food is totally amazing. The service is spot on. The people are friendly in there. Yesterday went to a wedding there. And wow the pub did...

The lady waiter was brilliant. She realised the food wasn't as it should be and offered my friend a free desert. Very good customer service

Very nice place had to wait quite a bit for the meal but well worth it when it came can only presume they'd hit a very busy time and my timing was bad but all in all very good food and definitely value for money

Came in to support a care client to have dinner. Served by Georgia who was 200%! So paitent and friendly and interactive (you'd be amazed how many people speak to the carer like the client doesn't exist) 10/10 would recommend for other care professionals and...

Generally good local pub and good value but my main criticism would really very slow to serve and felt very ignored at the bar, others who obviously were regulars/mates were served and we were not acknowledged, which was a shame as it's at did not make us feel welcome. Takes very little to be acknowledged and say will be with you in a minute, understand the staff are busy but should still serve fairly based on who has been waiting longest. However, some of the staff are lovely and friendly. Used to go in this pub frequently and felt much less comfortable on this occasion than previously. Were going to eat but decided not to after waiting so long for drinks. Mens toilets need a damn good clean!

Really lovely pub and dog friendly too in the bar and outside the food was Brillaint amazing portions and the chips were the best chips I have had in a while absolutely recommend great value for money will be visiting again soon thank you

Excellent food, friendly staff and welcoming clientele

Lovely staff and quick staff! Decent food for price too xx

Typical Greene King pub. You know what you are getting in these venues. Cheap drink, and cheap food. Nothing to really fault though. The menu has a good range of choices, especially for vegetarians and vegans. Service was quick, and I do like the fact you can now order from the app at Greene King venues. It's certainly not a fine dining experience, but it's always been a pub I will visit when I'm in the area.

Amazing value as always staff are so friendly nothing is to much trouble been 3 time this week landlady Sue is a diamond children friendly all round excellent experience as always x

Lovely food and great prices. The staff is also very friendly. It’s lovely to have a nice pub near by.

Excellent food and lovely bar staff, always friendly and helpful. Definitely a favourite of ours now, food is always hot and tasty, and or course a great price. A must try for anyone 👍

Staff very pleasant & food good pub grub. Always have a good experience..

This was the first time for ages we have been able to take my elderly Mum out for a meal and it was a great success. Great food, (very) affordable prices, fabulous friendly atmosphere, quick and efficient service. It has everything you would wish to...

It's a beautiful chilling out place. They do really lovely chicken wings if fancy a snack while drinking

Another gorgeous meal, staff were friendly and accommodating as always. Meals were piping hot and delicious. Lovely range of drinks. Family friendly and a lovely, tidy, safe beer garden for children to burn of some energy before sitting down to eat. Always a great experience...

First time visiting here staff very polite and food very good

We went to Hare&Hounds for early evening meal and had the offer on 2 classic meals which were very nice and the service was very good

Dropped in on a busy Saturday evening. Food was very good value, £10.99 for 2 meals! Bar staff were friendly and service was good.

6 of us went to your pub today we had been to a funeral at the church when we asked for tea and coffee as it was so cold the you lady said we had to wait 15 minutes it was over 45 minutes so we go to the bar and she then said there where No cups very disappointed

Christmas menu was lovely. Great drink selection, friendly staff

Well what can I say!!! Absolutely FANTASTIC this establishment never ceases to amaze me. Fifteen of us ,age range from 7 to 83 not one of us was left disappointed. From the personal greeting from Sue as we entered , the food was lovely, great...

We have our annual family Christmas meal here every year and the staff do an amazing job every time. 32 of us this year for a 3 course meal. We all had a great time and the effort all the staff put in to make it special was fantastic. Food was great. Thank you Sue and the team and we look forward to seeing you Christmas day x
