About Haus On The Hill
On Southover St in Hanover, Haus On The Hill serves a Sunday roast that has built enough of a following to sell out by mid-afternoon, with a choice of beef, lamb, chicken or pork belly alongside mash and vegetables. The rest of the week the kitchen keeps to pub food, including a sausage and mash served as a large portion. Craft beers and local ales rotate through the taps, and mulled cider appears on the drinks list. The pub takes walk-ins day to day, though table bookings are taken for the Sunday roast, including larger groups. A sun terrace and function rooms sit alongside the main bar, and dogs are welcome inside. For dessert, rum cake rounds out the menu.

Customer Review Summary
Sunday roast draws most reviewers, with the beef called soft and very good, the pork crunchy and deliciously salty, and a chicken supreme served with perfectly cooked vegetables. Portions are huge, and one reviewer found the sides far from boring. Craft beers and guest ales come close behind, with a bar team happy to explain them, and one reviewer was glad to find mulled cider. The sausage and mash is called delicious but oversized. Complaints centre on the roast: one table found chicken and pork belly gone by a 15:30 Sunday booking, and another said the plates looked great but were not very hot. One reviewer waited for salt and then for dessert spoons, and another found it slightly expensive for pub food. Staff are repeatedly called friendly, and one anxious diner describes a staff member steering a roaming dog to the far side of the pub.

“I came here for a drink with a friend...Nice atmosphere on entering the pub. It was a Sunday afternoon so it was very busy for Sunday lunch. My friend and I found a lovely table in an alcove...What stood out for me was the pub is dog friendly...I am very scared of dogs . When a dog was freely walking around the pub one of the staff members was very quick to pick up on my anxiety..He made sure the dog stayed the other side of the pub. It made me very safe and touched that this was acted upon. Thank you. I would so recommend this pub and return again.”

“Booked in advance and they were flexible about us needing to push our booking back 15 minutes due to the rain. Roast was fantastic! Huge portions, fantastic flavour - the beef was soft and the pork was crunchy and deliciously salty. I find that some pub roasts focus solely on the meat and potatoes, and leave the sides a bit boring- not here! All so so good, will definitely come again :) (Only issue I had was that the bartender accidentally put water in my wine instead of lemonade but it was an honest mistake x)”
