Another excellent meal for 5 of us over 3 generations, definitely one of the most upmarket dining experiences in the area. Well presented, delicious meals and a good choice for all three courses. Prices matched the quality, though £12 for one glass of merlot was on the steep side!

A great facility for an overnight stop over between the North and the London area. this facility met all our needs (including dinner). The only problem was the stairs (we are elderly and had luggage), however a female staff member offered her assistance ( a service rarely offered elsewhere).

We booked this place to break a long journey and the fact the it was near Althorp House was a bonus. You needed ropes and crampons to get to the room but this was good exercise after a long journey and when we got to the room it was an extremely pleasant surprise. It was spotless, modern and had all amenities. We made it back to the bar for a drink and was delighted to find that the ale was well looked after (unusual these days) and the staff were very very friendly and attentive. The meal in the evening was superb and that and the service just couldn't be faulted. I noted from previous review that this place was described as a gem and I do think that is a perfect description.

Great food. Great service. Lovely room. We make an effort to use family-run and/or small independent businesses as an antidote to corporate uniformity. The Hopping Hare shows big businesses how to do it. We will be back. FYI we went for the tasting menu because (a) it looked delicious and was and (b) by Friday you don’t want to be making any more decisions. Thank you for making our stay so enjoyable.

What a fantastic find. The welcome and service is fantastic. The waiting staff in the restaurant in particular are friendly and attentive. The restaurant really makes this a brilliant stay. A classic menu beautifully presented and reasonably priced. The salmon was local and tasty, the duck probably the most tender I have had. The puddings were really interesting and flavourful. A good selection of beers and wines. The room was large and whilst no air conditioning a fan was provided. Ample parking. Just a great find. Can’t recommend enough.

I stayed the night before my baby shower. The room was lovely and very comfortable, and the breakfast in the morning was lovely. I had an afternoon tea for my baby shower the next day everything was perfect, the food, service etc. everyone had a fabulous time. I would highly recommend the Hopping Hare

We have stayed at the Hopping Hare a few times. It is a great pub, the food is very good, and the staff are very helpful. We would recommend the Hopping Hare to anyone. Only down side is getting to the rooms can be a little tricky - narrow passage ways and stairs.

Love this restaurant and everyone who works there . We have been three times and each time they have been great and the food amazing . They are great with my son who chose to go here for his 11th birthday last night . We didnt organise any special cake or let them know but the ladies serving and the chef made it special anyway . Thanks so much .
