Amazing service by isla,jackie and Laura and Tia and a perfect roast dinner by Lewis and Gary

We enjoyed a great lunch here! Good food with wonderful service, thank you!

This is a relatively new restaurant offering what I would describe as modern British fine dining. There is a Sunday lunch menu, ten course tasting menu or four course menu. - See the website for menu details. The kitchen is open at the back of the restaurant so you can see the food being prepared. We chose th four course menu. The food was well presented and was prepared to a very high standard, as was the service. You can opt for different glasses of wine with each course on all of the menus, but there is also a wine list available. Highly recommend.

Beautiful jacket potatoes, lovely food

A really lovely little restaurant. Serves very nice home made food. Staff are fab and the food is so tasty. It's always busy and just such a lovely friendly traditional place. Mine and my best friends favourite spot for lunch

Beautiful would recommend this place we have been many times and always excellent food red hot and clean and tidy will be back mothers day for lunch with the family xx

Beautiful decor, great choice of wines, wonderful service with sharing boards of food.

Good coffee, great choice of cakes and scones. Would highy recommend. Will definitely re-visit when next in Barnard Castle .

My wife and I visited the Hare and Hounds today after pre booking, which seems essential. We were not disappointed. It was the Best Sunday Roast we have had for years. Freshly cooked vegetables and a choice of beef lamb or pork very good portions of meat served to you then put your own veg and trimmings. All with the best gravy. Friendly staff and bee from onsite brewery. Strongly Recommend.

Lovely food, comfy chairs, big portions and decent prices at £24 for a very filling lunch for two. Would like to come back and try more from the menu. Only criticism so far is lack of proper baby changing facilities. I know space is an issue but all there is is a small, hard tiled counter.
